丰城中学xx学年上学期高三周练试卷英语(1--45班)刘艳红高三英语备课组(2015-12-09)考试时间16:10-----17:20 (重点班不做D篇)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共1 5小题:每小题2分,满分30分)ACoffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1. What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To bee more awake.B. To bee more healthy.C. To bee more happy.D. To bee more clever.2. How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.BMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son . Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work , doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem and was q uite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the baptismal (洗礼)ceremony,of course.On the day of the baptism , Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the ha ll. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister youare! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She could n’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mo uth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddently turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …4. Shaindle didn’t visit her sist er after her sister gave birth because .A. she envied her sisterB. she lived too far from her sister.C. she was too busyD. she didn’t feel quite herself5. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many years.B. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleC . Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years.D. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-law.6. The purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. words can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should try to forget unpleasant thingD. two sisters’ different experiences7. The undeflined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means .A. be impolite to somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. make fun of somebody.CPeople laugh and people cry.But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel unfortable and embarrassed.The shedder of tears (落泪者) is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedywas the cause.The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears.But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反).Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears.Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others(as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help.Vocal (出声的) cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention.So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress.University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical position of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears.Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion.Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion ,containing no such substance.Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr.Peter Kast and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome(综合征)and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.8.What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to ? A.Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.B.The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers.C.Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical position of tears.D.The tear shedder' s apology and the observer' s effort to stop the crying.9.It is known from the first paragraph that____.A.shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericansB.crying may often result in tragedyC.crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD.one who sheds tears in public will be blamed10.What does the author say about crying?A.It is a pointless physiological response to the environment.B.It must have a role to play in man' s survival.C.It is meant to get attention and assistance.D.It usually produces the desired effect.11.From the passage we can infer that____.A.it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB.we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC.shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudlyD.unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survivalDWhenever people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy.However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.By using Everyclick., which is being added to a number of university puters across the UK, students can raise money every time they searc h, but it won’t cost them a penny.Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity.This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own ine.19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than 5,000.With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick. to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "Wugging" grow in popularity with students."When you're at university you bee more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth."Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny." Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don' t feel they have the means to do so.Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing themanything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.Everyclick. works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks.Everyclick. then makes monthly payments to every registered charity.Launched in June xx, Everyclick. is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.12.According to the passage, "Wugging" is actually____.A.a charityrelated action B.a websiteC.a school organization D.a student movement13.In the case of charity, Everyclick.____.A.receives much money from students B.frees students of the financial worriesC.offers valuable information to students D.praises students for their money-raising14.From the passage, we can conclude that____.A.most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B.Everyclick.is the busiest charity website in the UK C.Everyclick. helps students pay for further education D."Wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities15.What would be the best title for the passage?A."Wugging", a popular term on the InternetB.Students collect money for charity by " Wugging"C.More British charities benefit from the InternetD.Charity enjoys increasing popularity with the British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。

横峰中学高三英语第十四周周练阅读理解A“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much. The term describes parents who hover over their kids athome and on the playground like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even faraway places. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Julie Lythcott-haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for success. In her book, she gives readers a closerlook at this parenting style. She also explains why parents should stop it.Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parentingfirst-handwhen she worked as dean of first-year students at Standford University. The incoming students, or freshmen, she says, were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many wereunable to take care of themselves. “They were turning to parents constantly for guidance,for problem-solving, to have them make the choice about something.”Lythcott-Haims warns this kind of parenting has many short-term wins but long-term coststhat harm the child. She uses an area common to most children--a playground.Lythcott-Haimssuggests letting your child get a little hurt.“If you do your child's homework, it will be perfect. That is what she calls theshort-term win. The long-term cost is that your child may not feel capable. And he does not become a determined learner, meaning he will give up easily when faced with a difficultproblem to solve.” So what can parents do if they want to beak the overparenting “helicopter” cycle? Reading Julie's book, you can follow some ways to stop hovering overyour children. In a word, when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves, they will be prepared for adulthood.28. The underlined words “hover over” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.A. deal withB. fly overD. circle aroundC. stare at29. What do the “helicopter parents ” believe?A. Short-term wins can harm the kids.B. Getting protection from parents is necessary.C. Trying to make decisions should be valued.D. Learning from failure is helping kids.30. What should parents do for their children based on Julie's study?A. Encourage them to do what they can do.B. Help them grow with parents' protection.C. Guide them in doing as parents do or say.D. Prevent them from playing on a playground.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. How to Break the Overparenting CycleB. How to Help Adults with Their ProblemsC. Helicopter Parenting Is Well Worth TryingD. Helping Children Too Much Is Hurting ThemBThey swim lovely along the shore, looking for underwater greens to feed on. But thesedays, along Florida's western coast, something is mixing with the seas grass that manateeslike to eat. And it's making them sick --- even killing them.It's a poisonous form of algae, usually called “red tide” because of its color. Algaeare plant-like organisms (微生物) that live mainly in water. Most are harmless, but not red tide. When it gets mixed in with the grass and the manatees eat it, they get so sick that they can't even swim.“They're basically paralyzed (瘫痪的), and they become unconscious, ” said Virginia Edmonds, an animal care manager. Manatees are mammals and they need to surface often tobreathe in air. If a manatee is paralyzed, it can't swim and will drown.As of Monday, the current red tide outbreak has killed at least 174 manatees since the beginning of this year. That has already beaten Florida's record-high number for manatee deaths in a single year --- and we still have nearly nine months to go!perts aren't sure when the red tide outbreak will end. So many more manatees are The exin danger. The situation has gotten so desperate that Florida zoos have rescued at leasta dozen manatees. You can find manatees anywhere from Brazil up to Florida --- and throughoutmuch of the Caribbean Sea.In fact, the manatee is officially considered an endangered species. Thanks to the US government's protection, Florida's manatee population has grown to approximately 5,000 in recent years. But the red tide is threatening their survival. Some experts suspect thatpollution from farms even might be fueling the red tide outbreak, because fertilizerthat'sused on farms often winds up in water. And when that fertilized water runs off into theGulf of Mexico, it makes things grow faster --- just like on land.If you're in Florida and you see a manatee that doesn't look right, wildlife officials would like you to call them. They've set up a free hotline --- 888-404-3922. “We want to preserve the manatees for the future of Florida,” said Martine, a veterinarian (兽医) with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. “We want future generations to enjoy manatees the way we enjoy them right now.”32. All of the following are about descriptions of red tide except ____________.A. plant-like organisms that live mainly in waterB. a kind of sea grass that manatees like to eatC. a poisonous form of algaeD. growing rapidly33. In the text, the author seems to worry that _____________.A. manatees from Brazil up to Florida will be huntedB. the experts cannot prevent the red tide from spreadingC. more manatees will be killed in the following nine monthsD. manatees will have to spend their winter in the Caribbean Sea34.What can we infer from the text?A. The experts know the red tide will end this year.B. Florida zoos should try to search for sick manatees in the sea.C. The manatees benefit little from the US government's protection.D. Farms should be stopped from sending out harmful materials into the sea.35.The free hotline is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.A. call on people to protect the environmentB. let future generations enjoy manatees betterC. remind people to save the manatees in troubleD. show the determination of protecting the manatees第二节.七选五It was the First day of school, 1961.

2021-2022年高二英语上学期第14周周考试题

2021-2022年高二英语上学期第14周周考试题

2021-2022年高二英语上学期第14周周考试题第一节:阅读理解(9*3=27分)A“I once hoped to afford a wonderful telescope, but now I wish my father would be back.” Lucy Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucy went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucy, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone ,you will see them again . And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart . I find that my parents , long dead now , still occur in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive . I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor , I was so proud , or rather so pleased with myself , that I couldn’t wait to write to my parents . The reply was a long time in ing, but when it did, allMother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children! ” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care ? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.I pray silently , sometimes , in the dead of night ,that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword(剑), and my darling from the power of the evil .” Yet I know the death es to us all, and sometimes es suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.1 According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph .A. shows the author’s pity on the kidB. acts as an introduction to the discussionC. puts forward the subject of the textD. makes a clear statement of the author’s opinions2 In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us .A. why his parents often appear in his dreamB. how much he misses his parents nowC. when Lucy will get over all his sadnessD. how proud he was when he succeeded in life3 What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply?A. Proud.B. Excited.C. Uninterested.D. Uneasy.4 What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem?A. Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns.B. Advise parents stay with their children safely at home.C. Try to keep violence and murder far away from society.D. Spend every day meaningfully in memory of the death.BIn my living room,there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to“Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s,when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville,Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who“bloomed”in her remote a rea.Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County,Kentucky,Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan,I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight­mile journey,I crossed the same railroad track five times,giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school,all gloom (忧郁) disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom.I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared toshow me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for“dinner”(lunch).In case you don’t know,poke greens are a weed­type plant that grows wild,especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification,Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterward,she invited me to the one­and­only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory,as if she had received her Ph.D.degree.After the meal,she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝),but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.5.“Early Childhood Development”in Paragraph 1 refers to________.A.a program directed by Dorothy B.a course given by the author C.an activity held by the students D.an organization sponsored by Union college6.In the journey,the author was most disappointed at seeing________.A.the long track B.the poor houses C.the same train D.the winding road7.Upon arriving at the classroom,the author was cheered up by________.A.a warm wele B.the sight of poke greensC.Dorothy’s latest projects D.a big dinner made for her 8.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A.She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant. B.She got a pen as a gift from the author.C.She passed the required assessment. D.She received her Ph.D.degree.9.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A.Whatever you do,you must do it carefully.B.Whoever you are,you deserve equal treatment.C.However poor you are,you have the right to education.D.Wherever you are,you can acplish your achievement.第二节完形填空(共20 小题;每小题2 分,共40 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的所给选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

河北省衡水中学2021年高三上学期第14周周测英语试题

河北省衡水中学2021年高三上学期第14周周测英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.1.What made Kate angry one evening?A.She couldn’t find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.2.The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.A.she hated herself for being so messyB.she was asked by Kate to do soC.she was scared by Kate’s angerD.she wanted to show her care3.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By describing a process.C.By showing differences.D.By following time order.4.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend KateB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.Learning to Be RoommatesThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight--I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢).In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake mom accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga, try a Tai chi class. If you like swiping, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is you body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience milddiscomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don't, rest and seek medical advice.5.What does the author think about being fat?A.It is the family genes that make people fat.B.People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D.It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle.6.According to the author, how can we make exercise mom interesting?A.By taking varied exercise. B.By choosing simple exercise.C.By doing regular exercise. D.By sticking to outdoor exercise. 7.What is the author's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?A.Keeping lit is essentially a painful experience.B.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C.Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D.Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.8.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To declare the importance of keeping lit.B.To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C.To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D.To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid---we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴)native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we,d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate w hitting. ’’But fortunately there is an alternative : cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does ta ke a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子)in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick Liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward!9.Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______.A.are not interested in itB.have biological limitationsC.have not invented proper toolsD.are afraid to make an attempt10.What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?A.It is light enough to walk on water.B.Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C.It can run across water at a certain speed.D.Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.11.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A.To create a thick liquid.B.To turn the water into solid.C.To help the liquid behave normally.D.To enable the water to move rapidly.12.What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?A.It is risky but beneficial.B.It is interesting and worth trying.C.It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D.It is impractical though theoretically possible.One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenlychanged. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again — the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出没处), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more. 13.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?A.The elephant stopped.B.A spotted deer called.C.The elephant seized a branch.D.The forest was silent for a while.14.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by ____________. A.describing various soundsB.comparing different animalsC.listing different activitiesD.introducing various plants15.What does the underlined part "to sense the aura" most probably mean?A.To see the diversity.B.To enjoy the scenery.C.To feel the atmosphere.D.To experience the freedom.16.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.India now leads the world in smartphone growth. It saw a 55% increase in the number of smartphone in 2014. The number of Web users increased by 37 %. Smartphones were the source of 65 % of its Internet traffic and 41 % of its e-commerce, according to a report by the analyst Mary Meeker, titled “Internet Trends 2015”.India’s Internet boom has started. Within three or four years, almost every adult in India will own a smartphone. They will be used to order goods, read news, monitor crop growth and so on.Indian adults will be very interested in these devices just as young Americans are. 87 % of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 who own smartphones say they never separate from these: “My smartphone never leaves my side.” Four out of five say that the first thing they do on waking is to reach for their smartphones. And three fifths believe that in the next five years everything will be done on mobile devices.In the business world, the rise of mobile platforms is dramatically transforming many industries all over the world. What Indian software developers have to do is to start thinking about solutions to old problems by using all the features of these new devices. They need to take advantage of the unique properties of smartphones and tablets. As Indian software developers and enterprises master the smartphone, they will be able to export their solutions to the rest of the world.This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s. We can expect the rapid transformation of India when a billion people become connected and have equal access to information and services.17.Loads of numbers are used in Paragraph 1 to show _____________.A.India’s smartphones increase most rapidly in the worldB.India has the most advanced IT industry in the worldC.India will be a superpower pretty soonD.India will export new smartphones to the rest of the world18.What will most young Americans do first the moment they wake up?A.Read news. B.Shop online.C.Get their smartphones. D.Check e-mails.19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.India is the largest mobile maker in the world.B.Indian farmers use smartphones to monitor crop growth..C.Indian software developers have made great profits by selling their products abroad. D.India saw a great boom in IT industry some 30 years ago.20.Which can be the best title of the text?A.More people, more smartphonesB.No dream, every Indian owns a smartphoneC.At hand, India’s next tech revolutionD.A small smartphone, a big use二、七选五We 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 clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.21.But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.Get Out of Bed EarlierIf you normally get up at 7; 30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. 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. 22.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.23.The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.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. 24.Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.25.A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted over the course of a day. When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages s o that it’s easier to deal with. A.Stay Focused on Your WorkB.Take Breaks When NecessaryC.If you have an office door, close itD.If you work like this, you'll usually save timeE.Would you want me to make your day longer?F.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours longG.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start三、完形填空A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair.

Besides, get along well with animals will make our life interesting. However, other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it’s harmful for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too many noise and even attack people.As for me, I’m in favor of the former.

Trya turn with that pretty Lisette.〞Johnny 2 . Every Saturday night used to be the best of the week. He and his parents went to the 3 at the Club, where his hero, Alcide, played the accordion 〔手风琴〕 with the band. But lately everything had changed. Now that Johnny was older, he was 4 to dance with a girl!5 Johnny and his parents arrived at the Club, music had already started. Johnny got up his6 to approach Lisette. “May I have this dance?〞Johnny asked. “That’s all right,〞 said Lisette. Johnnystruggled to k eep up with Lisette’s 7 steps, but he was always one beat behind her. Then Johnny heard his friend Pierre say, “Look! Johnnyhas two left feet!〞8 burst from the crowd.Johnny 9 and ran outside, determined never to go to another dance.The next Saturday, Alcide 10 to Johnny’s house for some potatoes. He happened to hear Johnny playing the accordion. Alcide’seyes 11 . “Bring that accordion and play some songs tonight,〞Alcide said. Then he drove off, leaving Johnny staring open-mouthed 12 him.At the Club, Johnny scanned the crowd for Lisetteand 13 her. The band played for a long time before Alcide said, “Dear friends, I got a 14 for you tonight. Young Johnny is going to join us!〞15 , Johnny stepped up on the platform, his eyes on the floor. He began to play, and the band 16 behind him. When the song ended,he heard cheers. Johnny kept playing until the dancewas 17 . “You did a fine job tonight. Play with us again next Saturday night,〞Alcide said. “Yes, sir!〞 said Johnny. 18 he went outside, Johnny saw Lisette and her friends near the door. Lisettestepped 19 , smiling. “You played really good tonight!〞 she said.“Thank you,〞 Johnny blushed 〔脸红(liǎn hónɡ)〕. As he walked on,Pierre 20 moved out of the way for him to pass.Johnny patted his accordion. Come to think of it, in his whole life, he had never once seen Alcide out on the dance floor.1.

A. still B. even C. ever D. almostA ks5u ks5uI know what you’re thinking : pizza 〔比萨饼〕? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can hav e last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to ks5u ks5uI know lots of women who skip breakfast 〔不吃早餐(zǎo cān)〕 , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving〞 calories 〔卡路里〕, s till others just don’t like breakfast food . ks5u ks5uBut the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,〞 says Katherine Brooking , R ,D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE〞. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. ks5u ks5uBreakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California foundthat breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. ks5u ks5uSo eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,〞 I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may saveyourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. ks5u ks5u21. The word “leftovers〞 in Paragraph 1 probably means__________. ks5u ks5uA.food remaining after a mealB. things left undone ks5u ks5uB. C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit ks5u ks5u22. What can we infer from the text? ks5u ks5uA. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. ks5u ks5uB. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. ks5u ks5uC. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. ks5u ks5uD. Eating vegetables helps save energy. ks5u ks5u23. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________. ks5u ks5uA. eat something for breakfastB. be careful about what you eat ks5u ks5uC. heat up food before eating itD. eat calorie-controlled food ks5u ks5u24. The text is written mainly for those_____________. ks5u ks5uA. who go to work earlyB. who want to lose weight ks5u ks5uC. who stay up lateD. who eat before sleep ks5u ks5uB ks5u ks5uHaving a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,〞 said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.〞 ks5u ks5uHe points out that differences among households〔家庭(jiātíng)〕exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,〞 Stafford said. ks5u ks5uOverall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2021. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2021. ks5u ks5uSingle women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week. ks5u ks5uMen showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. ks5u ks5uHaving children increases housework even further. With more than threechildren, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours. ks5u ks5u25. According to the “well-known pattern〞 in Paragraph 1, a marriedman___________. ks5u ks5uA. takes on heavier workB. does more housework ks5u ks5uC. is the main breadwinnerD. is the master of the house ks5uks5u26. How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s? ks5uks5uA. About 23.B. About 26. ks5u ks5uC. About 13.D. About 6. ks5u ks5u27. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text? ks5uks5uA. An unmarried man.B. An older married man. ks5u ks5uC. A younger married man.D. A married man with children. ks5uks5u28. What can we conclude from Stafford’s research? ks5u ks5uA. Marriage gives men more freedom. ks5u ks5uB. Marriage has effects onjob choices. ks5u ks5uC. Housework sharing changes over time. ks5u ks5uD. Having children means doubled housework. ks5u ks5u七选五 10分Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.29 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with afive-minute break in the middle. 30 Ideal 〔理想(lǐxiǎng)的〕study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 31You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. Afte r you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.32 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.33 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A. Pick a place where your children can study properly.B. Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C. Finally, spend time with your kids when they’re studying.D. Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement, too.E. Instead, use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F. Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G. One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.44. The girl had hardly rung the bell the door was opened suddenly, and her friend rushed out to greet her.45. they decide which college to go to, students should research the admission procedures.46. Tim is in good shape physically he doesn't get much exercise.47. — Our holiday cost a lot of money.—Did it? Well, that doesn’t matter______ you enjoyed yourselves.48.

位敦市安定阳光实验学校中学高三英语第十四周周练阅读理解A“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much. The term describes parents who hover over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even faraway places. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Julie Lythcott-haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for success. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. She also explains why parents should stop it.Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting first-hand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Standford University. The incoming students, or freshmen, she says, were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of t hemselves. “They were turning t o parents constantly for guidance, for problem-solving, to have them make the choice about something.”Lythcott-Haims warns this kind of parenting has many short-term wins but long-term costs that harm the child. She uses an area common to most children--a playground. Lythcott-Haims suggests letting your child get a little hurt.“If you do your child’s homework, it will be perfect. That is what she calls th e short-term win. The long-term cost is that your child may not feel capable. And he does not become a determined learner, meaning he will give up easily when faced with a difficult problem to solve.” So what can parents do if they want to beak the overparenting “helicopter” cycle? Reading Julie’s book, you can follo w some ways to stop hovering over your children. In a word, when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves, they will be prepared for adulthood.28. The underlined words “hover over” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.A. deal withB. fly overC. stare atD. circle around29. What do the “helicopter parents ” believe?A. Short-term wins can harm the kids.B. Getting protection from parents is necessary.C. Trying to make decisions should be valued.D. Learning from failure is helping kids.30. What should parents do for their children based o n Julie’s study?A. Encourage them to do what they can do.B. Help them grow with parents’ protection.C. Guide them in doing as parents do or say.D. Prevent them from playing on a playground.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. How to Break the Overparenting CycleB. How to Help Adults with Their ProblemsC. Helicopter Parenting Is Well Worth TryingD. Helping Children Too Much Is Hurting ThemBThey swim lovely along the shore, looking for underwater greens to feed on. But these days, along Florida’s western coast, something is mixing with the seas grass that manatees like to eat. And it’s making them sick --- even killing them.It’s a poisonous form of algae, usually called “red tide” because of its color. Algae are plant-like organisms (微生物) that live mainly in water. Most are harmless, but not red tide. When it gets mixed in with the g rass and the manatees eat it, they get so sick that they can’t even swim.“They’re basically paralyzed (瘫痪的), and they become unconscious, ” said Virginia Edmonds, an animal care manager. Manatees are mammals and they need to surface often to breathe in air. If a manatee is paralyzed, it can’t swim and will drown. As of Monday, the current red tide outbreak has killed at least 174 manatees since the beginning of this year. That has already beaten Florida’s record-high number for manatee deaths in a single year --- and we still have nearly nine months to go!The experts aren’t sure when the red tide outbreak will end. So many more manatees are in danger. The situation has gotten so desperate that Florida zoos have rescued at least a dozen manatees. You can find manatees anywhere from Brazil up to Florida --- and throughout much of the Caribbean Sea.In fact, the manatee is officially considered an endangered species. Thanks to the US government’s protection, Florida’s manatee population has grown to approximately 5,000 in recent years. But the red tide is threatening their survival. Some experts suspect that pollution from farms even might be fueling the red tide outbreak, because fertilizer that’s used on farms often winds up in water. And when that fertilized water runs off into the Gulf of Mexico, it makes things grow faster --- just like on land.If you’re in Florida and you see a manatee that doesn’t look right, wildlife officials would like you to call them. They’ve set up a free hotline --- 888-404-3922. “We want to preserve the manatees for the future of Florida,” said Martine, a veterinarian (兽医) with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. “We want future generations to enjoymanatees the way we enjoy them right now.”32. All of the following are about descriptions of red tide except ____________.A. plant-like organisms that live mainly in waterB. a kind of sea grass that manatees like to eatC. a poisonous form of algaeD. growing rapidly33. In the text, the author seems to worry that _____________.A. manatees from Brazil up to Florida will be huntedB. the experts cannot prevent the red tide from spreadingC. more manatees will be killed in the following nine monthsD. manatees will have to spend their winter in the Caribbean Sea34.What can we infer from the text?A. The experts know the red tide will end this year.B. Florida zoos should try to search for sick manatees in the sea.C. The manatees benefit little from the US government’s protect ion.D. Farms should be stopped from sending out harmful materials into the sea.35.The free hotline is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.A. call on people to protect the environmentB. let future generations enjoy manatees betterC. remind people to save the manatees in troubleD. show the determination of protecting the manatees第二节.七选五It was the First day of school, 1961.

We had a large 57 that we were not using. 58 we renovated(翻) the barn, redesigned our working area and today we have a nicer studio than we have 59 had.

Kids are used to looking to adults totell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions oftencause false answers; when asked, say“ Did you drink juice at the picnic?”the child is likely to say“ yes” even if no juice had been available. It is notthat the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed intohis or her memory.To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask childrenonly open-ended questions, such as “ What did you have at the picnic? open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box,”isBut antreatedlike a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.And it isn ’ t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of falseinformation when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures mayalso become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such aslittle kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliarwords and phrases.“ It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “ try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.

This is an attempt by the liars to be absolutely clear whatthey mean. 383.Strange Body Language.Liars often feel uneasy, turn away from the person to whom they are speaking,blink rapidly, smile less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice.

The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding themfor the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. "It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis - or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things," Michael said. "Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."25. Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?A. To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.B. To support the organization.C. To escape the damaging earthquake.D. To help distribute free daily meals.26. How did the couple celebrate their wedding?A.

We can know from the text that .A. Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB. Ted was a representative of the organizationC. Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard itD. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him二.七选五Do you want to improve your quality of life? Here is some advice.1. Make it a point of doing something brave every day. 36 This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn’t talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of. There is no need to plan it in advance.2. Learn something new. Pick a topic, especially something you know nothing about and learn something from it. 37 It helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you have learned.3. Debate something. If you think you know about something, nothing will prove it like arguing it with someone who’s smarter than you. 38 This is easier said than done, but it can provide you with some of the best mental stimulation.4. Spend time with a child. 39 If you don’t, I bet you have friends who would be happy to let you borrow theirs for a few minutes.It doesn’t matter what age they a re—children see the world entirely differently. Look at it from their eyes. Be their hero. Appreciate what they appreciate. Enjoy the simple things again. You’ll love it and they’ll love you for it.5. Recognize what makes you happy. 40 Everyone is working towards something, but what makes you happy now? Think of it and try to incorporate (并入) more of what made you happy yesterday into today.A. If you have one, consider yourself lucky.B. Talking with little children keeps you young.C. Spend some time each day alone with your thoughts.D. A good source of inspiration for this can be the newspaper.E. Find a friend you can debate with who has different ideas.F. Step out of your comfort zone, and leave the routine for a second.G. Reflect on the parts of your day that bring you real happiness.三.完形填空One day on the way to school, a little boy found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and watched it almost every day.

The farmer, 68_______(surprise) but happy, asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.The b oy replied, “I did nothing but 69_______(sit) quietly and listen for the sound of the watch.”This shows us that sometimes a peaceful mind can think 70______ (well) than an excited one.五.短文改错Questioning can lead to search for an answer.

Going Over My LessonsIn xx, the Tower of London weled two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(乌鸦) named Jubilee and Grip. Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens’s birth. This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist’s own pet birD. One of his predecessors(前辈) was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.Dickens’s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author’s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge. On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: “my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in pany with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself. To this endI have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him.”Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier. The bird had developed a strange habit – tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin. Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven’s death.He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and “administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil”. Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor). The following morning, Grip was able to eat “some warm porridge”, but his recovery was short liveD.As Dickens wrote to Maclise, “On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‘Hello old girl’ (his favorite expression) and dieD. He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too muchadmireD... The children seem rather glad of it. He bit their ankles. But that was play.”28.Which of the following is right about Dickens’s pet Grip?A. he liked painting a lot.B. he could speak English fluently.C. he was quite ill before his death.D. he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.29.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?A. Because the bird was very strange looking.B. Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.C. Because Barnaby needs a panion who was always with him.D. Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.30.What caused the death of Dickens’s Grip?A. His old age.B. His strange diet.C. The killing of the coachman.D. His bad habit of biting people.31.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A bird in a novel.B. The writer’s birD.C. The death of a birD.D. Dickens and his birdWe often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and th eir parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. Theydidn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”32.The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything is turned upside down he will _____.A. lie on his stomachB. lie on his backC. stand quietlyD. sit in peace33.Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?

The children were surveyed between xx and xx.The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV,playing puter games, or chatting with friends —aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nea rly30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise remendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of gir ls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities.People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs. 16.If you are sedentary, you________.A.are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkB.have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every dayC.like watching TV and playing puter gamesD.spend a lot of t ime sitting down and not moving17.Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold?A.Most children around the world don't meet the exercise remendation.B.Girls in e very country are no more active than boys.C.Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities.

But what ifyou're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry.Here are some useful suggestions.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't w ait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(平安) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to (坚持) your plan or you may not have enough money tocover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Intemet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include Travelcity. com, bargains- lowest fare(票价 ) . com and economic travelcity. com.●By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel.

横峰中学高三英语第十四周周练阅读理解A“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much. The term describes parents who hover over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even faraway places. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Julie Lythcott-haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for success. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. She also explains why parents should stop it.Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting first-hand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Standford University. The incoming students, or freshmen, she says, were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves. “They were turning t o parents constantly for guidance, for problem-solving, to have them make the choice about something.”Lythcott-Haims warns this kind of parenting has many short-term wins but long-term costs that harm the child. She uses an area common to most children--a playground. Lythcott-Haims suggests letting your child get a littl e hurt.“If you do your child’s homework, it will be perfect. That is what she calls th e short-term win. The long-term cost is that your child may not feel capable. And he does not become a determined learner, meaning he will give up easily when faced with a difficult problem to solve.” So what can parents do if they want to beak the overparenting “helicopter” cycle? Reading Julie’s book, you can follow some ways to stop hovering over your children. In a word, when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves, they will be prepared for adulthood.28. The underlined words “hover over” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.A. deal withB. fly overC. stare atD. circle around29. What do the “helicopter parents ” believe?A. Short-term wins can harm the kids.B. Getting protection from parents is necessary.C. Trying to make decisions should be valued.D. Learning from failure is helping kids.30. What should parents do for their children based o n Julie’s study?A. Encourage them to do what they can do.B. Help them grow with parents’ protection.C. Guide them in doing as parents do or say.D. Prevent them from playing on a playground.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. How to Break the Ov erparenting CycleB. How to Help Adults with Their ProblemsC. Helicopter Parenting Is Well Worth TryingD. Helping Children Too Much Is Hurting ThemBThey swim lovely along the shore, look ing for underwater greens to feed on. But these days, along Florida’s western coast, something is mixing with the seas grass that manatees like to eat. And it’s making them sick --- even killing them.It’s a poisono us form of algae, usually called “red tide” because of its color. Algae are plant-like organisms (微生物) that live mainly in water. Most are harmless, but not red tide. When it gets mixed in with the grass and the manatees eat it, they get so sick that they can’t even swim.“They’re basically paralyzed (瘫痪的), and they become unconscious, ” said Virgini a Edmonds, an animal care manager. Manatees are mammals and they need to surface often to breathe in air. If a manatee is paralyzed, it can’t swim and will drown.As of Monday, the current red tide outbreak has killed at least 174 manatees since the begi nning of this year. That has already beaten Florida’s record-high number for manatee deaths in a single year --- and we still have nearly nine months to go!The experts aren’t sure when the red tide outbreak will end. So many more manatees arein danger. The situation has gotten so desperate that Flo rida zoos have rescued at least a dozen manatees. You can find manatees anywhere from Brazil up to Florida --- and throughout much of the Caribbean Sea.In fact, the manatee is officially considered an endangered species. Thanks to the US government’s protection, Florida’s manatee population has grown to approximately 5,000 in recent years. But the red tide is threatening their survival. Some experts suspect that pollution from farms even might be fueling t he red tide outbreak, because fertilizer that’s used on farms often winds up in water. And when that fer tilized water runs off into the Gulf of Mexico, it makes things grow faster --- just like on land.If you’re in Florida and you see a manatee that doesn’t look right, wildlife officials would like you to call them. They’ve set up a free hotline --- 888-404-3922. “We want to preserve the manatees for the future of Florida,” said Martine, a veterinarian (兽医) with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. “We want future generations to enjoy manatees the way we enjoy them right now.”32. All of the following are about descriptions of red tide except ____________.A. plant-like organisms that live mainly in waterB. a kind of sea grass that manatees like to eatC. a poisonous form of algaeD. growing rapidly33. In the text, the author seems to worry that _____________.A. manatees from Brazil up to Florida will be huntedB. the experts cannot prevent the red tide from spreadingC. more manatees will be killed in the following nine monthsD. manatees will have to spend their winter in the Caribbean Sea34.What can we infer from the text?A. The experts know the red tide will end this year.B. Florida zoos should try to search for sick manatees in the sea.C. The manatees benefit little from the US government’s protection.D. Farms should be stopped from sending out harmful materials into the sea.35.The free hotline is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.A. call on people to protect the environmentB. let future generations enjoy manatees betterC. remind people to save the manatees in troubleD. show the determination of protecting the manatees第二节.七选五It was the First day of school, 1961.

The 41 is what we did to overcome it.We used to have a glass studio near our home. Several years ago we 42 an awful winter; we had much snow and ice. The 43 of the ice and snow collapsed the roof of our studio, taking with it one of the sources of our income.

It was a(n) 51 experience.Here we were in the middle of 52 with our studio collapsed. We couldn’t work as we ha d 53 all the material we were not using in a building.
