A teen stops playing and walks toward him“Hey，cops（警察）are here．What’s up?” the boy was aggressive. To put him at ease, White said, “Can you believe someone’s calling about kids playing basketball? "Then he put his hand out for the ball. With hesitation, the teen gave it to him. White made a shot off the hoop(篮圈).As a playground courtesy(礼貌) the teen threw it back to White, who nailed his next shot. It was like a signal -------kids began streaming out to join in the shooting game. The video shows White and the kids laughing and shooting for 13 minutes. As he left, he told them to have fun and watch the noise. That was that, he thought -------an officer doing his job.But that wasn't the end. The police department 's information officer always looking for the positive things his officers do, put the video online. Within a week, it was viewed over five million times. Suddenly, businesses and individuals touched by the officer’s sympathy started sending sporting equipment to the police department.“1 know what they mean,” White says．“ But there’re many cops who go above and beyond.” To prove his point, White created the Basketball Cop Foundation.

Honesty but determinedD. Sympathetic and modestCApril showers bring May flowers, as the saying goes. And with those flowers comes May Day, a holiday that most people have heard of but have no idea what it’s forMay Day, celebrated on May 1 every year, has its roots in ancient pagan（异教徒的）festivals marking a new start of a new season——summer. Over the centuries, it developed and took on a more non-religious nature In Europe, including the addition of maypole dances that the holiday is now associated with. But May Day isn’t all about skipping around with ribbons in the sunshine. It has also been on the same day as International Workers' Day since the 1880s. In fact, May Day refers to America's Labor Day for certain countries.On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of U. S. industrial workers participated in a nationwide strike to demand an 8-hour workday. The protests in Chicago lasted for several days, and on May 3, a strike at McCormick Reaper Works ended in a brawl with police officers. Several strikers were wounded or killed. The next night, the violence became even worse. When police came to break up a crowd of protestors gathered in Hay-market Square, a bomb went off in the police ranks. The bomb killed seven policemen and wounded 60 more. Police then opened fire on the crowd, killing several men and wounding 200.In memory of these events, the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 as an international holiday for labor. That’s why the world sees not only celebrations of warmer weather on the first day of May, but oftentimes marches for labor unions as well29. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why people celebrate May Day.B. How May Day came into existenceC. Activities held to celebrate May Day4/ 15D. Ways to honor May Day worldwide30. From Paragraph 2, May Day was initially celebrated to___________A. honor the end of April showersB. mark the beginning of summerC. explore its religious aspects in EuropeD. show the long history of maypole dances31. What does the underlined word "brawl "in Paragraph 3 mean?A. ProtestB. QuarrelC. ContradictionD. Fight32. It can be known from the text that _________A. all festivals were closely related to religionB. celebrations on May Day caused many deathsC. 19th-century workers had a longer workday than eight hoursD. International Workers' Day has no connection with Americas Labor DayDWhenever we see a button on a doorbell or on a remote, we may press it. This is true in most cases. But some buttons are actually fake（假的），like the“ close＂button on an elevator．Many people are in the habit of pressing the "close" button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut. But according to experts, the buttons are a complete trick- the doors will not close any faster however hard you pressIt started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only firefighters and maintenance workers(维修工) can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal elevator riders, the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. Experts have showed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives5/ 15for this same purpose. For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little "white lies". They still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effortThat habit is here to stay, John Kounios, a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US, told The New York Times. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while wait ing. So why not try the chance?”33. The author writes the text to______________A. analyze what roles fake buttons playB. inform readers of kinds of fake buttonS explore different ways to push buttonsD. explain why fake buttons were introduced34. The underlined “for this same purpose " in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_____________.A. making people more patentB. improving people 's bad moodC. offering people a sense of controlD. helping people build up confidence35. What can we know from Joh n Kounios’ words?ping people build up confidenceA.Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at allB. People don't know that what they press is fakeC. Some people press fake buttons Just to kill timeD. People are supposed to quit Pressing fake buttons第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)6/ 15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。

高二英语期末选修八练习题
高二英语期末选修八练习题一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，然后按照短文后的要求答题。
ASalt is such a common household item that we often overlook its importance. But if it were suddenly to disappear, we would quickly notice salt's unique characteristics.Pure salt is a crystalline compound (化合物)，one of the basic types of inorganic compounds. A compound is a substance in which two or more elements are chemically combined in specific proportions. Salt, for example, is made up of sodium and chlorine. Seawater contains the highest percentage of salt: almost 4 percent. Once water evaporates (蒸发) from seawater, the remaining residue contains salt.Salt serves several important purposes. It is used as a preservative (防腐剂) for meat, fish, and other foods. Bacteria are unable to grow well in salty environments, so salt helps to prevent spoilage. Salt also adds flavor to food, which is why it is such a common ingredient in recipes and at the dining table. Finally, salt helps to melt ice and snow on roads and sidewalks.Salt plays a vital role in our health as well. The human body contains about 250 grams of salt at all times, mostly in the fluids that surround the cells of our bodies -- in the blood, in the lymphatic system (淋巴系统)，and between tissues (组织). Salt plays a major part in maintaining the delicatebalance of water in our bodies. Water makes up as much as 95 percent of blood, and it needs salt and other chemicals to remain at the proper levels.1. According to the passage, how does seawater become salt?A. A special chemical reaction.B. By adding chlorine.C. By removing the chlorine and sodium.D. Through the process of evaporation.2. What can be inferred from the passage about salt?A. It cannot be found in any other substance.B. It is less important than water.C. It is often overlooked by people.D. It plays no role in our health.3. What is NOT mentioned in the passage about salt's use?A. Preventing meat spoilage.B. Adding flavor to food.C. Melting ice and snow.D. Enhancing our immune system.二、写作任务假设你是李华，你的朋友Tony来信告诉你他将在你们学校附近参加一个夏令营。

During the past nine years that we have been in America, I have grown greatly, changed from that wide-eyed and scared little girl to a proud and brave young woman. The change wasn’t always smooth, and I wasn’t always patient, but you were both always understanding. And through your understanding I have learned.I have learned from you. Dad, you wake up every morning to go to the steel plant, where people don’t speak your language and you don’t speak theirs. I know that if you were in Vietnam, you would be comfortably surrounded by friends. But you are here in America, doing what you don’t like, and through that, you are teaching your children the power of persistence. I have learned to be determined because you are so determined to get your children into college. And here I am getting ready for college now.I have learned from you, Mom, you cook nice Vietnamese sour soup and fish, and wait up at nights for your daughters. When I see you pacing back and forth because your daughters aren’t home yet, I cry because I see so much pain in your eyes, and through your pain I learn the meaning of home a sanctuary that I will always be able to turn to.Through all your sacrifices I learn the essence of being human. I learn to love. I find that this love leads me to you, to the home, to the fact that I am Vietnamese-American. The dreams that you have taught me slowly begin to take shape as I walk down the college path, step into the adult world and adventure out of your world. Wherever I go, I carry my past with me, knowing that you will always be there behind me and I will always come back, because you are where my home is.36. This passage is a ______.A. thank-you letter to the author’s parentsB. comment on the author’s parentsC. declaration of the author’s growing upD. message to praise the author’s parents37. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the girls in the family are very naughtyB. the author’s mother regrets immigrating to the USAC. the author is proud of being a Vietnamese-AmericanD. the author’s father feels bad at work38.

But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange.For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimeters around. Imperator carrots are thin and about twenty-five centimeters long. And Belgian White carrots are, as their name suggests, white.For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water long. The soil also should have no rocks. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the soil, loosen it and turn it over. Then, mix in some plant material or animal fertilizer.Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste. Warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great.Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content. This gives them their taste. If they are harvested too early, they will not have enough sugar. But carrots lose their sweetness if you wait too long to pull them from the ground.The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color, the better the taste.Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as during the summer months.41. According to the author, most people think carrots _______A. are just a vegetableB. have a stable shape like an orangeC. are of a stable size, shape, and colorD. come in many different sizes and shapes42.

The author wrote this passage ________.A. to persuade us to eat more carrotsB. to let us know more characters of carrotsC. to make us produce more carrotsD. to encourage us to grow more carrotsC ★★A group of scientis ts set sail from Shanghai yesterday morning, marking the start of the country’s 24th scientific expedition to Antarctica.The ship Xuelong, or Snow Dragon, carrying 91 members of what will eventually be a 188 strong expedition team and 40 crew members, left Waigaoqiao Dock at about 10 am. The rest of the explorers will travel to Antarctica by air.“The expedition will last for more than five months. We expect to be back home on April 18,"Shen Quan, the ship’s captain, said.“It’s the largest scientific expe dition team China has sent to Antarctica. The expedition will lay the foundations for China’s in-depth exploration of Antarctic,” Chen Lianzeng, deputy director of the State Oceanic Administration, said.The expedition team will pick the final site of Chin a’s third scientific research station at the South Pole, an observatory with seven telescopes and one acoustic radar at Dome A, Chen said. At 4,093m above sea level, Dome A is the highest point on the continent.“We are prepared to build a third station, and construction will start once the site is finalized. The whole project is expected to be completed by 2010,” Xu Xiaxing, a veteran explorer on his eighth trip to the continent, said.They will carry out an inspection of Dome A and draw the first topographic map of the area surrounding the peak. A model of an ancient Chinese compass, one of the country’s four great inventions, will be brought to Dome A of permanent display.This expedition marks the first time China has participated in the International Polar Year program. It also marks the start of reconstruction for two existing Chinese stations in Antarctic, Changcheng and Zhougshan.The ship will stop in Chejudao in the Republic of Korea and Frementle in Australia for supplies before it arrives at the Zhongshan Station.46.

What is the best title of the passage?A. The introduction to AlzheimerB. The good effect of alcoholC. The importance of NMDA receptorD. Moderate drinking can improve memory52. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not low levels but excessive levels of alcohol increase memory.B. An NMDA receptor is the only factor for the process.C. According to the testing done on rats, their memory did not improve when given low alcohol doses if they did not have enough NMDA receptors.D. It is sure that the knowledge of the research can help to treat the memory disorders.53. This article probably appears in _______.A. a newspaperB. a science reportC. science fictionD. a novel54. What can we infer from the passage?A. Alcohol is unharmful to the new brain cells.B. That alcohol is beneficial to individuals is certain.C. It is advised that one should not drink too much to forget emotional stimuli.D. The alcoholic degree of wine is very critical in the research.55. What is the meaning of the underlined word “augment”?A. Decrease.B. Increase.C. Double.D. Lose.第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）The mass media plays a significant role in shaping and displaying public opinion as it reports the world’s changes to people.

However, all of them have their own opinions concerning politics, social life or others. Their personal views form the news decisions, so that people receive the information based on the opinion of the experts.

It is extremely hard sometime to say a simple thing like ‘ I was wrong about that. ’ and it is even harder to say “ I was wrong ,but you were right s1SovAcVQM aboutthat. ”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistakefifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in theneighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（纸板盒） . Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely(模糊地 ) the incidenthe was describing.GXRw1kFW5sI was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place UTREx49Xj9.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放 ) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work8PQN3NDYyP.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it looked as though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not mLPVzx7ZNw.56. How old was the author when he wrote this article?AHP35hB02dA. About 8B. About 18.C. About 23.D.

Our children speak Hebrew, Arabic. I canspeak a bit of Hebrew and a little Arabic. The gap between us, therefore, is not a matter of age,sports heroes, or musical tastes. It is simply my lack of ability to master languages that theypicked up in no time. To our kids, I will forever be the foreigner, the greenhorn3YIxKpScDM.I remember one of my most amusing mistakes that I made one bright and early school-day morning. A school friend had slept over, and everyone was eating breakfast, I cheerfully asked the boy what I could give him for his lunch gUHFg9mdSs.“ What about some fruit?” I asked.“ How about some rocks with your uQHOMTQe79lunch?”“ Mommy!” The kids all shouted in horror.“ Mommmmmmy!IMGWiDkflPI had wanted to say“ anavim” , which are grapes(葡萄)in Hebrew. Instead I said“ avanim”-----plain, ordinary rocks.WHF4OmOgAwTo this day, my children remind me again and again of the countless mistakes I made. Ata school meeting, I told the father of one of their friends that I ’ d sat on top of his wi before, when I meant to say thatI ’ d sat next to her. Languages always provide opportunities for foreign speakers to please natives aDFdk6hhPd.I find my language mistakes entertaining at times, and they’ ve never stopped me fro trying to make conversation. On a family outing the other day, we stopped to buy fresh pitafrom an Arab woman. I spoke to the woman in a mixture of Arabic and Hebrew and thenwe stood with her, eating the warm freshly baked pita. After we finished, I called out,“ Shookran”-“ thank you, ” in Arabic---and we drove away.ozElQQLi4T“ That was fun. ” said my-ear16-old son， Ari.-year”my-old14daughter, Amalia, said.“ Why do “ And she gave me extra pita for free!you think she did that? CvDtmAfjiA”“ Because we were friendly and made an effort to talk to her,said.QrDCRkJkxh” IFor once, my kids did not even point out any of the errors I had made as I spoke to the woman.4nCKn3dlMX59. The kids shouted when their mother used the word “ avanim”because ijCSTNGm0E______.A. they always regarded their mother as a foreigner vfB1pxanfkB. she misused the word for a kind of fruit as the one for rocks JbA9VhEou1C. their mother only gave grapes to one childD. one of the kids got up late60. Why didn ’ t the kids point out their mother’ s mistakesshespokewhilewith an Arab woman? X7Ahr18pJIA. Their mother’ s conversation with the Arab woman brought a good result b3zqXLCqXo.B. They used to their mother’ s language errors.C. They were moved by the Arab woman.D. They were pleased with the delicious meal.61.What would be the best title of this passage?A.How to Learn Foreign LanguagesB.How to Live AbroadC.Sometimes It ’s just WordsD.My Boring ChildrenCMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, butI also explain that there’ s a big difference between“ being a writer” and“ writing cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “ You’ ve got to want to write,” I say to them,“ not want pZyytu5rc5tobe a writer.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writerkissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What Idid have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn ’ even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer andfelt a real writer. DVyGZezsrMAfter a year or so, however, I still hadn’ t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I haddreamed about it for years. I wasn’ t begoingonetof those people who die wondering. Whatif? I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn tolive there.RQxPvY3tFs62.The passage is meant to _______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience5MxX1IxuU9B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer jIw5xs0v9PC.show young people it ’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame xEve2buwnwD.encourage young people to be after a writer career KAvmyVYxCd63.What can be concluded from the passage?Ａ.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding Ywuu4FszRT.B.Writer ’s success depends on luck rather than on effort cstDApWA6A.C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation隔.(离 )qotL69pBkhD.The chances for a writer to become successful are small EksTCSTCzX.64.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writingcareer?Sgs28CnDOEA.
