A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5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。

garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September，just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days，Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same，her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I，however，just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato，head in its direction，and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way，which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.There we are，lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing，and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar shespots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden，she evaluates the tomato for a second time，but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However，Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side，kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face，and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round，red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma

ripe tomatoes48.What can we infer from the story?A. The grandchild will e more skillful at gardening than Grandma.标签：B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C.The grandchild will gradually e more independent of Grandma.D.Grandma's need for the grandchild's pany will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes，the most popular girl，in school，stopped me.“Are you the twin who won the art petition?”she asked.“No，that's Christine.I'm Kati e.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine，I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase offlowers，spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of ing angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art petition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym，I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine，here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high，she leapt for it，it slipped through her fingers and crashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone，I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the“thumbs up”uraJamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes，that's me，”I answered，grining(露齿笑)as I

popular.B.People are talented in different ways.C.People should always be nice to others.D.Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only onelog.The kitchen

2021-2022年高二上学期第一次(10月)月考英语试题含答案
2021年高二上学期第一次（10月）月考英语试题含答案第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)I was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be pletely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping thatthis act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would bee famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would bee a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores withinthe Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the munity and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your munity and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and r efrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor arekept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.munity and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your munity.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will bee much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your munity27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (投资). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off. A personwho is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how much does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid being wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacks to .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions.DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studi ed used his or her phoneat least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their ining messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not have a habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones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。

Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.36. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.C. To show the importance of moneyD. To give a warning to other countries37. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Peaceful and attractiveB. Modern and openC. Rich and powerfulD. Greedy and aggressive38. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.A. soil pollutionB. farming activityC. phosphate overminingD. whale hunting39. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. It spent too much repairing the islandB. Its leaders misused the moneyC. Its phosphate mining cost much moneyD. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.40. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.B. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.C. The island was abandoned by the NauruansD. The phosphate mines were destroyedBGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirtynine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.41．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________．A．written about New Yorkers B．composed for Paul WhitemanC．performed in various ways D．played mainly in the countryside 42．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A．It proved jazz could be serious music.B．It attracted more people to theatres.C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.43．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He studied with Nadia Boulanger. B．He created one of his best works.C．He argued with French critics. D．He changed his music style. 44．What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.B．Many of Gershwin's works were lost.C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin's death.45．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Serious and boring. B．Talented and productive.C．Popular and unhappy. D．Friendly and honest.CTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reportedless physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.46. This article is mainly aboutA. the lives of school childrenB. how to deal with school conflictsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. the cause of arguments in schools47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn thatA. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fightC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. a small conflict can lead to violence48. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To make clear what the real issue is.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To find out who is to blame.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.49. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found thatA. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. there was a decrease in classroom violenceD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved50. The writer's purpose for writing this article is toA. complain about problems in school educationB. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsC. teach students different strategies for school lifeD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceDOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but. good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, arosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete junglesof endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. Inrecent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests , full of wildlife and rare flowers,were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.51. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?A. The Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not convincing.D. The advertisement is not impressive52. The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ .A. its natural resources are untouched.B. its forests are exploited for farmlandC. it develops well in health and education.D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.53. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?A. They are happy to work their own lands.B. They have to please the tourists for a living.C. They have to struggle for their independence.D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.54. Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?A. The number of touristsB. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism55. The au thor’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ______.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. objectiveD. Negative第Ⅱ卷第一节阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)Why play sports? You might say “to get exercise”and you’d be right. To have fun? That’s true, too. But there are more.

But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt orhungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.【1】Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A．they watch TV too often B．they have done too much homeworkC．they have to fulfill too many duties D．teachers are too strict with them【2】By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.A．when everything can be taught at schoolB．when every child can be educatedC．when children are permitted to receive educationD．when children are allowed to do what they wish to【3】The main idea of the passage is that _______.A．parents should leave their children aloneB．kids should have more activities at schoolC．it's time to be more strict with our kidsD．parents should always set a good example to their kids3.Bicy cles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured（had）three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles."I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine."You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride.B．You can improve your bicycle for science research.C．Many inventions are connected with the bicycle.D．Bicycles are the best way to go about【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students.B．Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research.C．Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem.D．Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’【3】The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______. A．make address written B．give up C．work at D．speak at【4】Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT ________.A．making knives sharp B．mixing any kind of drinksC．producing electricity D．operating a machine with its own electricity【5】It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.A．distant areas in the rainforest without electricity.B．the use of his own family to make life easier.C．the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforestsD．enough exercise by pedaling it4.I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been ab le to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.

It could be something as simple as not gettingthe job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makesyou is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boywas caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would notlive. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire haddestroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would belame throughout his life.But the brave boy did notwant to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, hedid survive. But unfortunately from his waistdown, he had no motor ability.His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. Buthis determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, hehad to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair andpulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached thefence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence,firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he wouldbe able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop theability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and thento run.He began to walk to school,and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he wason the track team.In February 1934, in NewYork City’s Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected tosurvive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - thisdetermined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world’s fastest mile.A good example of the powerof positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be aninspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounceback even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that deathseemed the preferable option.（1）The first paragraph is intended toA . present an argumentB . make preparations for statementC . arouse readers’ interestD . function as a brief introduction（2）What was the doctor’s opinion about Glenn?A .

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields arelittle powerhouses of nutritional protection.Ofthe common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because oftheir seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein , iron and zinc . Blueberries areparticularly high in antioxidants . The yellow andorange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitaminA and which are antioxidants. As for cherries , theyare so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.Whencombined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellentbase for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For thispurpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skinand place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeezeof fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananaswill last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of thefreezer.Ifyou have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berriesor sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eatenright away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feedingthe fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice creamcome out below.（1）What does the author seem to like about cherries?A .

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, fromcloser to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technologyand reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for dataabout the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out thatmany parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns aboutincreased screen time.The most hopeful datashared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples andimportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kidsand teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have morebooks in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of schoolapproaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make theirown summerreading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A . Children’s reading habits.B . Quality of children’s books.C . Children’s after-class activities.D . Parent-child relationships.（2）Where can you find the data that best supports “children are rea ding a lot less for fun”?A . In paragraph 2.B . In paragraph 3.C . In paragraph 4.D . In paragraph 5.（3）Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A . E-books are of poor quality.B . It could be a waste of time.C . It may harm children’s health.D . E-readers are expensive.（4）How should parents encourage their children to read more?A . Act as role models for them.B . Ask then to write book reports.C . Set up reading groups for them.D . Talk with their reading class teachers.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）5. 阅读下列材料，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）。

They are like little cone-shaped（锥形的）tents made of straw and they can survive the winter in them．When spring comes, they come out, healthy and hungry, at the same time as millions of inse cts arrive to attack the farmers’ crops.”“So the spiders fill their empty stomachs, and the farmers whose fields are protected are happy．They’ve saved their crops and their money．Because of the spiders, their cost on insecticides（杀虫剂）is zero.”“So everyone is happy except insects.” she said.“Right, and now this natural method of pest control is being copied all over the world.”“Interesting,” she said, “But now I really must go and ……”“Wait,” he cried．“There’s more．Do you know what is stronger than steel, lighter than a feather, and as elastic（弹性的）as a rubber band?”“No．What is it?”“It’s the silk that spiders make their webs with．And scientists are trying to develop a material with similar properties．They plan to use it in spacecraft, artificial organs like hearts and to make really bullet-proof vests．Doctor think spiders’ poison might be used to treat brain disorders in humans.”“That’s good news for you then,” she laughed, “But seriously, I get your point.”56．Cone-shaped tents are built and put over the fields for spiders to ____.A．go through the winter safely B．protect farmers’ crops from being eaten C．attack their enemies in nature D．become very healthy and hungry57．From the passage we learn that without spiders, the farmers _____.A．would also save their crops B．could do nothing to protect their crops C．would spend more money on insecticide D．could control insects in the fields withoutdifficulty58．Which is the best way to kill insects according to this passage?A．Spraying（喷射）insecticides over fields.

It can record movies, surf the net, and download the newest MP3 songs, but don’t let those fancy features fool you.After all, chances are that phones have a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip. GPS lets phone companies determine the location of your phone at all times. If you are hurt and call 911, rescuers can find you by using your phone’s GPS.But emergency officials aren’t the only people interested in knowing where you are. Several new companies are using cell phones equipped with GPS to monitor teen drivers for inquisitive parents.The programs vary, but most of them allow parents to use the Internet to monitor their kids’locations, driving habits and speed. Some programs even let parents set speed and location limits so that they are alerted（警觉的）if their kids drive too fast or go beyond a predetermined boundary.Supporters of monitoring（监视）say that the programs also help if a teen is kidnapped(绑架) or lost. Andrea Gutierrez uses a driving program to help her daughter get home. “I give her directions by looking at an online map, which shows me where she is”.Jean Nichols, 17, says that parents are forgetting one very important thing: trust. “I don’t like the idea of someone using a device that keeps tabs on me.”Others say the information could be misused. “If everyone can find out exactly where your 17-year-old girl is at all times, it will present a potentially dangerous problem,”Hohn Lawford told the Ottawa Citizen.Alana Watenpuhl, 19, says that teens can easily outsmart the programs. “Teens can always leave their cell phones somewhere and then go out with their friends. It’s not likely that the chips are attached to their bodies,”she told reporters. “But who knows?”she added. “That might be what’s coming next.”59. What is the text mainly about?A.

There are strict standards. Foods and organic food companies that are certified by the Quality Assurance International group(QAI) must undergo tests and meet very high standards. When this is done, all foods should be stamped with a Certified Organic by QAI sticker or label.It has also been said that organic foods can help to lower the risk of cancer. Although some pesticides that farmers use are considered safe, there are still a number of risks, including a risk of cancer. This is alarming, but it is also something that many individuals are not aware of . Although the EPA(环境保护局)does consider many chemicals, including weed killers and insect killers to be dangerous, they are still used on many of the foods, namely fruits and vegetables, that are sold today. This is not something that you have to worry about when buying organic foods. That is why many claim that organic foods can reduce your chances of cancer.Another one of the many reasons why organic food is better for you is that it usually tastes better. This means that you and other eaters are more likely to eat more organic foods, as well as stick with organic foods or start a fully organic diet. These steps can help to improve your health. This is mostly due on part because vegetables and fruits are grown without the assistance of pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals.Although there are a number of benefits to eating organic foods, especially where health and wellness is concerned, many individuals are concerned with the cost. Yes, organic food does cost more money, but many still consider it to be well worth the cost.63.All the followings are the advantages of Organic foods EXCEPT_________.A.harmful substances can be removed easily.B.they do good to people's health.C.they taste very good.D.they are not polluted.64.When having an organic diet people are most likely to be worried about its_________.A.safetyB.weightC.qualityD.expense65.Which of the followings may be the main idea of this passage?A.People usually can't afford to buy organic foods.B.There are all kinds of organic foods in our daily life.anic food is really better for all of us.D.Polluted fruits and vegetables are worrying.DMary Jane Seacole was a Jamaican（牙买加）nurse and a heroine of the Crimean War.She was born in 1805 inKingston, Jamaica.
