2017-2018学年度上学期期中考试高二英语测试题第一部分 (共两节,满分40分)第一节阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AGrandpa's hobby was making birdhouses. He always said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasn't sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses.Grandpa's shop was full of well­oiled and carefully­kept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something.It wasn't too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was like being a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpa's hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didn't coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last.Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it. It had to be done just right, after all.The birdhouses were a great way to learn about woodworking, hard work, taking care of what you have, and about birds. The best thing about building birdhouses was that Leigh spent some time with Grandpa.1.What's the best title for the text?A.Long­lasting Birdhouses B.Birdhouses MakingC.Grandpa's Birdhouses D.Birdhouses, Home for Birds2.What did Leigh value most?A.Listening to Grandpa's advice. B.Helping Grandpa on his birdhouses.C.Learning about woodworking and birds. D.Spending some time with Grandpa. 3.We can learn from the text that Grandpa ________.A.lived a very hard life B.was a very good carpenterC.didn't care about cleaning up D.kept thousands of birdsBAs a mom who had already lost her son, a Houston nurse became concerned when she heard about the popular Netflix show 13 Reasons Why. By then her 15-year-old daughter had already been attracted to it. In the show, the main character feels hopeless and kills herself.Mental health experts believe that the show's messages on suicide are dangerous. Educators have warned parents that it glamorizes the idea of suicide and could lead to an increase in imitation among students. They’re worried about children watching it alone without parents beside them. Employees from some elementary and middle schools have seen an increase in self-harm among students since the show began.Netflix believed that the show has helped bring up important conversations in many families. Though some parents loved the show, for the nurse’s family, it was a disaster. Her daughter has been suffering from depression since her brother’s death. With treatment, things got better until she watched the series. “If I’d known about the show beforehand I would ha ve monitored her Netflix account,” said the nurse. “If kids have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, I don’t think they need to watch it. ”The show’s creators said they did make part of the show painful to watch because they wanted to make it clear that there is nothing worthwhile about suicide. Before its release, a producer sought the support of the JED Foundation, a teen suicide prevention group. “I think they were looking for us to say it was a great educational tool, or that they handled the issues in a psychologically helpful way,” said a medical officer. The group issued a guide about the show, advising people who choose to watch it to view it with someone else and to take breaks between episodes (剧集).4. What does the underlined word “glamorizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Makes something seem more attractive.B. Makes something become more strange.C. Makes something become more fearful.D. Makes something seem more touching.5. What do we know about the nurse?A. She’d known about the TV sho w before her daughter watched it.B. She didn’t suggest teens with self-harm thoughts watch the show.C. The show has helped improve her family relationship.D. She has been monitoring her daughter’s Netflix account.6. The creators may agree that the show ________.A. includes dangerous messagesB. encourages self-harmC. is educational and helpfulD. is pleasant to watch7. What is the passage mainly about?A. A TV show that caused discussion.B. The story of a mom and her daughter.C. An educational TV show.D. Some common teen problems.CStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175­foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat­like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,”Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9­year­old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67­year­old female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is pos sible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”8.For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A.To go across the lake to school.B.To test their balance on the water.C.To pass Professor Canaves' class.D.To win the prize money of $500.9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.B.The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.C.The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.D.Most students finished the class assignment successfully.10.What can we infer from the passage?A.Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands­on learning experi ence.B.It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.C.The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.D.Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.11.The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.show his approval of the unique teaching styleB.report an interesting assignmentC.inspire teachers to be more creativeD.encourage more people to take part in the raceDSometimes “you” doesn’t mean “you”, a new study finds.People often say “you” to make it easier to talk about a negative personal experience. For example, people may say “You win some, you lose some.” when they have just failed at a task. By using “you” instead of “I”, they explain that failurecan happ en to anyone. The “you” here used to refer to people in general rather than a specific audience is called “generic-you”.Researchers conducted a series of experiments, asking 2,500 people to write about personal experiences and answer questions. In one experiment, a group of participants were asked to write about a negative personal experience and another group of participants were asked to write about a neutral personal experience. Researchers noted that people in the negative group used the ‘‘generic-you” more in their responses.When they use “you” to describe the event, it allows them to move beyond the negative experience and helps them feel better.In another experiment, all participants were asked to write about a negative experience. One group focused on lessons they had learned, while another group wrote about the emotions they felt. Researchers found that people who focused on lessons used “you” more than those who focused on emotions. Besides, the people who used “you” said they felt further away from the event than those who used “I”. This suggests that “generic-you” is a way for people to give meaning to an experience. Researchers concluded that the “generic-you” provides a way to normalize one’s negative experiences and find meaning from personal experiences.12. When people say “You win some, you lose some.”, failure actually happened to __________.A. the listenerB. anyoneC. the speakerD. nobody13. Which of the following is an example of “generic-you”?A. Do you believe it?B. When will you be ready to go?C. Treat others as you hope they will treat you.D. You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.14. In the first experiment, the “generic-you” _________.A. helps overcome a negative situationB. is only used in a negative situationC. helps leave good impressions on othersD. is only used in a neutral situation15. What do we know about the second experiment?A. “Lessons” group used “you” less than “emotions” group.B. People tend to use “you” to explain lessons they've learned.C. “Emotions” group was less affected by negative experiences.D. People never use “you” to express personal feelings.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。

ASome t ime ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the thirdand the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floorand said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How m uch do you want for it, sir?"“Twenty pounds.” I said.“OK,” he said, "I’ll gi ve you twenty pounds."“It’s got a slightly broken leg." I said.“Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What willyou do with it?" I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."“I’ll buy it," I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said."Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-sevenpounds for it."“You must be crazy." he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."“You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in andsaid, "Would you repair this chair for me?""“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it." he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Shall we say forfive pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.21. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A.was rather impolite B.was warmly receivedC.asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D.asked the shopkeeper to repairhis chair22. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.A.plan for dealing with things B.way of doing thingsC.idea of repairing things D.decision to sell things23. The expression "the penny dropped" means the shopkeeper_______.A.changed his mind B.accepted the offerC.saw the writer’s purpose D.decided to help the writer24. How much did the writer pay?A.£5. B.£7. C.£20. D.£27.BFor career(职业) changers thinking about growth and advancement potential,forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created newjobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy(经济),” he says.The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products andservices are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of theworld have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services.It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be ofgreen-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, manycountries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As aresult, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands ina better way. The increasing demand of newer resources(资源) has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs.In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Managementof environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way tofind information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are beingposted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright futurein energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kindsof green-collar jobs.25. Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?A. To explain the importance of technology.B. To provide evidence of his recent research.C. To indicate the bright future of green careers.D. To inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.26. Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?A. Promoting services.B. Training employees.C. Consuming fossil fuels.D. Developing new resources.27. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The requirements for green employees.B. The development of the green industry.C. The economic influence of green careers.D. The job chances in the environmental industry.28. The passage is written to _______.A. discuss eco-friendly servicesB. introduce promising career chancesC. suggest ways of saving energy at workD. explain the best method of finding jobsCOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for olderpeople and people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of18 and 85 in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New Y ork led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reachtheir fifties.Happiness was highest among t he youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventiesand eighties. The study also showed that men a nd women h ave similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women a t all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they haveand have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking aboutbad experience.29. The underlined word “emotions” (in Paragraph 3) most probably means _______.A. experienceB. attitudeC. feelingD. pressure30. The following statements are true EXCEPT _________.A. People are usually afraid of getting oldB. Men and women share the same emotionsC. Fifty is a key period in people’s emotion changesD. Researchers can’t explain why happiness increases as people get older31. The passage is written mainly for ________.A. doctorsB. researchersC. people over 50D. general readers32. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A New Great FindingB. The old, Are You Happy?C. The Older, the HappierD. Learn to Getting OldDMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements exceptto move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot,based on the real storyof cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown,can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express hi mself as an artistand poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first AcademyAward for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world?

In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 85 in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reach their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking aboutbad experience.29. The underlined word “emotions” (in Paragraph 3) most probably means _______.A. experienceB. attitudeC. feelingD. pressure30. The following statements are true EXCEPT _________.A. People are usually afraid of getting oldB. Men and women share the same emotionsC. Fifty is a key period in people’s emotion changesD. Researchers can’t explain why happiness increases as people get older31. The passage is written mainly for ________.A. doctorsB. researchersC. people over 50D. general readers32. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A New Great FindingB. The old, Are You Happy?C. The Older, the HappierD. Learn to Getting OldDMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot,based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown,can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express hi mself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten yearsin a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott. Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”33.If you want to watch a movie about wars, which may be one of your choices?A. Life Is Beautiful.B. Stand and Deliver.C. Shine.D. My Left Foot.34. Which of the following is true according to the four movies’ information?A. My Left Foot was directed by Christy Brown’sB.

The main characters all won Academy Award for Best Actor.D. They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.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。

in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.21.Tomato is a kind of D.A.poisonous fruitB.poisonous vegetableC.tasty

president would serve his honored guests poison apples.【分析】本文叙述了在18世纪的美国当时都认为西红柿是可观赏的有毒食物,但是了解西红柿情况的总统用来招待了他的客人,结果客人都说西红柿是很好吃的.【解答】21.D 细节理解题.根据第一段的tomato is a kindof very delicious vegetable.可知西红柿是一种可口的蔬菜,故选D.22.B 推理判断题.根据文章第一段的But in the 18thcentury,Americans neverate tomatoes.They grow themin their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty可知,在18世纪的时候,美国人还不吃西红柿,他们在花园里种西红柿,因为西红柿很漂亮.所以美国人直到19世纪才开始吃西红柿.故选B.23.A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段第2行He had been toParis,where he learnedto love the taste of tomatoes.可知,他曾到过巴黎,在那里他开始喜欢上西红柿的味道.所以Jefferson 是在巴黎的时候知道西红柿好吃的,故选A.24.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以Jefferson总统宴请的客人是他本国的.故选C.25.D 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以D选项"并不是所有的客人都知道他们的总统会为他的贵宾提供‘毒苹果'"是不正确的,故选D.【点评】本文是社会文化类阅读,主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题.在做细节理解题时,首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语.认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.第二节:七选五(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.选项中有两项为多余选项.26.(10分)Everyone

AMost of us use the telephone several times a day to talk with friends or make social arrangements,These calls are usually quite easy and require little planning.Using the telephone for business purpose is different.In any organization the person on the telephone represents the company and gives an impression of the firm to the outside world.If you want to ensure good public relations.you need to master effective telephone techniques. You should try to give an impression of anefficient.friendly.progressive company eager to give good service.*Before callingChoose the right time. Consider the cost.urgency and convenience. When calling overseas.you need to consider the time difference.Check the number.A great deal of money is wasted each year on dialing wrong numbers.Plan your call.Make a list of points and questions to be raised.Be prepared.Gather any files.papers or information that may be needed during the call. It is unprofessional to have to say ”Hold on while I look for that”If you have to ask a caller to hold on.keep going back and assuring him/her that you will be as quick as possible.Avoid interruptions.Call at a time when you are unlikely to be distracted(分心)During the callBe courteous.polite.Make time for suitable greetings like”How are you today.Jim?”and”Kid you enjoy your holiday?”Put a smite in your voice.Remember.your caller can not see you.so use intonation to good effect and try to sound confident.decisive.helpful and interested.Check your notes.Look back at your notes to ensure that you have covered everything and quote figures and other data correctly.Get feedback.Make sure the caller understands the message correctly . especially deadlines and actions that are involved.Be courteous.Finish by thanking the caller for his or her time and trouble.*After the callMake notes.Let it become a habit to make motes of the call and place them in an appropriate file.Take actions.If’ you need to send a letter of confinnation or inform someone in your organization about any details of the call,do it immediately so that you do not forget important points.21.This passage is mainly about____.A.how to become a dependable companyB.how to ensure public relationsC.some service a company should haveD.some telephone techniques for business purpose22.Before calling,you have to ____.A.stay at your company onlyB.learn important data and figures by heartC.get things ready for the communicationD.choose the right time and place23.During the call.it is unsuitable to____.A.be decisiveB.be heard in low spiritsC.check your notesD.get feedback24.What does the underlined word“courteous”in the passage mean?A.Polite.B.Active.C.Effective.D.Correct.BThe mall travelling in the back of the ambulance which was runni ng at a high speed along the streets of Baltimore that morning in 2008 had no business to be alive.By everything that was reasonabl e,and there were plenty of such things before,he should have been v ery dead indeed.But he wasn't.As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him,he was only slightly hurt.Yet he had just fallen.150 feet down a hotel lift shaft(竖井)!Unknown to the man,two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day.On the thirteenth floor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open.Down in the basement,a pip e had burst and,it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet.Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accide nts,but this was ancient equipment(奇妙的装置)unreliable,slow,dangerou s,and suitable material to recycle.The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning.He had overslept.The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment.He dressed quickly, shave d hurriedly,took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hot el corridor.Good!The lift gate was open.The lift must be there.He need not p ress the button and wait while the large,clumsy lift made its way u pwards.Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space.The lift cage was,in fact,one floor above him on the fourteenth.The world i nto which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh air ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.The man fell,making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of.Confused patterns,a rush of air,time enough to be afraid.split-second thoughts of death,then—crash!Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving ac t.No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped.Certainly he learnt that this was no way to save time.The experts said that t hose two feet of water had saved his life.25.Which of the following did NOT help to cause the accident?A.Someone left the lift door open.B.A pipe burst.C.The man oversiept.D.He was late for an appointment.26.“The world into which he had walked”refers to_____.A.the lift shaftB.the lift cageC.the dirty waterD.death27.Which of the following can serve as the best title?A.The Quickest Way DownB.The Man Who Must DieC.Old LiftD.An AccidentCThe President of the United States has one of the toughest jobs in the world. Hardly anyone else is watched so closely by so many people. Reporters follow the President relentlessly, eager for his opinion on everything from nuclear warheads to the outcome of the Super Bowl. The President must be careful at all times that his answers to reporters' questions reflect his policies. In addition, wherever the President may go, he never for a moment escapes the responsibilities of his office. The evening news may show him on a working vacation, but the word is always with him.Then why have so many people wanted to be President?One reason may be that the Presidency is also one of the most powerful jobs in the world. As President JohnF.Kennedy said, “All the needs and aspirations of all parts of the country, all departments of government, all nations of the world are focused on him.”Who Can Be President?The job seems to demand a person of outstanding ability, so you might think the U.S. Constitution would contain a long list of job qualifications. However, it lists only three. Article Ⅱ, Section 1 of the Constitution states that the President must 1.be a natural-born citizen of the United States;2.be at least 35 years old;3.have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.Though the qualifications for Vice President are not stated in the constitution, they are the same as the qualifications for President, since the Vice President might have to replace the President.While the Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency, the voters certainly consider many others. Among these are intelligence, good health, experience in government, ability to lead others, knowledge of national and world affairs, personality, ability to speak well, and persuasiveness.What Does the President Do?The President is the Chief Executive of the United States and heads the exe cutive branch of the Government.However,the President must share power with mem bers of the other two branches of Government:the legislative branch,or the Cong ress;and the judicial branch,or the federal courts.The Constitution states the powers and duties of Presidency,it also tells how each branch of the Government is to cheek the powers of the other two in order to balance the powers and pre vent any single branch from misusing its power.This system of checks and balanc es was devised by the writers of the Constitution because they did not want any one person or branch of the Government to gain too much power.What Does the Vice President Do?According to the Constitution,the Vice Presidency involves only duties.First the Vice President presides(主持,统辖)over the Senate and can cast the decid ing vote in case of a tie(平局).Second the Vice President must be ready to take over if the President is somehow removed from office or cannot carry out the duties of the Presidency.This lack of official responsibility has led many to view the office of Vice President as a position of honor with no real power.However,some Presidents have relied heavily on the advice and support of the Vice President.28.Which of these statements is true?A.The President presides over the Senate.B.The President must be a U.S.citizen from birth.C.The Constitution gives the Vice President many responsibilities.D.The Constitution is such an interesting book that everyone wants to rend it.29.Which question of NOT answered in the passage?A.If there is a tie in the Senate,who casts the deciding vote?B.What is another name for the legislative branch of the ernment?C.When was the Constitution of the United States written?D.How old the President of the United States must be?30.From this passage we can infer that____.A.some Vice Presidents have been more active than others.B.the Vice Presidents is usually younger than the President.C.the Vice Presidents often votes in the Senate.D.the Vice Presidents is considered as a position of honor with no real power.31.Which of the following will prevent Tom from becoming President?A.He was born in a small willage in the United States.B.He is already 60 years old now.C.He has lived in the United States for ten years.D.He doesn’t know any other language.DBetty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs.Talk? We’re friends.Researching this result called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed would not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危机)“Most women, ”says Rubin, “identified(认定)at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a trouble moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”“In general, ”writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend, ”Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.While a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on a sofa.”32 .What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB.women have so much to shareC.women show little interest in ballgamesD.he finds his wife difficult to talk to33.Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ________.A.a male friendB.female friendC.her parentsD.her husband34.According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?A.Ending his marriage without good reasonB.Spending too much time with his friends.plaining about his marriage trouble.D.Going out to ballgames too often.35.Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?A.Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D.Women depend on others in making decisions.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,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Since its launch a little over two weeks ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals.And, with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months, city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Oliver Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often.It’s a real pleasure —when, like me, you don’t have space enough in you flat to have your own bike—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to take the subway,”he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and thus, lower pollution by 2020.Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New York, which launched a five-day trial program last month are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.However, it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these program is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.4. The real purpose of Velib is _______.A. to help people save money and spaceB. To make some money for the city governmentC. to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD. to reduce traffic and pollution in the city.5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.B. There will be over 20,000 bikes in use in a year.C. In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.D. There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.6. We can know from the passage that _______.A. other cities also have such programsB. Parisians can use the bicycles free ofchargeC. Paris sets an example to many other citiesD. Paris is the first city to start such a program.7. As to the future of the program, the author is _______.A. criticalB. optimisticC. uncertainD. negativeCPioneering front-row White House journalist Helen Thomas died at age 92 after a long illness. Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and became a legend in the industry.She was always at White House news conferences — sitting front and center — where she frequently annoyed government spokesmen with her pointed questions.Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010.In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a “true pioneer” and said she kept the presidents she covered —including himself—on their toes.Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, Kentucky on August 4,1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1942.In describing her job, Thomas once said, “ I’ve never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.”Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor(活力). No question seemed off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who asked the toughest questions of presidents, no matter their party.In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for what she considered his failings, including leading the country “into a senseless war against Iraqi a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost six years after the invasion.” She considered him “the worst president ever”.8. According to the text , Helen Thomas was ______.A a wise politicianB a writing pioneerC a legendary journalistD a WhiteHouse adviser9. The underlined word “fixture”in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A an object firmly fixed in placeB a person regarded fixed in the same positionC someone to fix tricky problemsD a device to secure something somewhere10.

Since its launch a little over two weeks ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals.And, with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months, city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Oliver Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often.It’s a real pleasure —when, like me, you don’t have space enough in you flat to have your own bike—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to take the subway,”he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and thus, lower pollution by 2020.Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New York, which launched a five-day trial program last month are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.However, it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these program is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.4. The real purpose of Velib is _______.A. to help people save money and spaceB. To make some money for the city governmentC. to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD. to reduce traffic and pollution in the city.5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.B. There will be over 20,000 bikes in use in a year.C. In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.D. There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.6. We can know from the passage that _______.A. other cities also have such programsB. Parisians can use the bicycles free ofchargeC. Paris sets an example to many other citiesD. Paris is the first city to start such a program.7. As to the future of the program, the author is _______.A. criticalB. optimisticC. uncertainD. negativeCPioneering front-row White House journalist Helen Thomas died at a ge 92 after a long illness. Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and became a legend in the industry.She was always at White House news conferences — sitting front and center — where she frequently annoyed government spokesmen with her pointed questions.Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010.In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a “true pioneer” and said she kept the presidents she covered —including himself—on their toes.Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, Kentucky on August 4,1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1942.In describing her job, Thomas once said, “ I’ve never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.”Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor(活力). No question seemed off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who asked the toughest questions of presidents, no matter their party.In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for what she considered his failings, including leading the country “into a senseless war against Iraqi a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost six years after the invasion.” She considered him “the worst president ever”.8. According to the text , Helen Thomas was ______.A a wise politicianB a writing pioneerC a legendary journalistD a WhiteHouse adviser9. The underlined word “fixture”in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A an object firmly fixed in placeB a person regarded fixed in the same positionC someone to fix tricky problemsD a device to secure something somewhere10. What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the text?A. She covered 10 presidents over a period of 49 years.B. She often raised unreasonable questions.C. She was born and brought up in Lebanon.D. She was criticized by President Obama.11.How did Thomas comment on George Bush?A. He should be kept on his toes.B. He was forced to be responsible.C. He didn’t deserve to be president.D. He shouldn’t have started the Iraq War.DA survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international p assenger survey, Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch(干杯), compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off.
