Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is “Hobson’s choice”. It is often used to describe a difficult choice. But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge. Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson’s choice was really no choice.A nother expression for having no real choice is “between a rock and a hard place”. It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good. For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends. If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are “caught between a rock and a hard place”.Another expression —“between the devil an d the deep blue sea” — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology (词汇学)say the expressio n comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship. If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak (漏), then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working “between the devil and the deep blue sea”.There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —“on the horns of a dilemma” (左右为难). The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices. When your dilemma has horns(角), making a choice becomes impossible. When you are “on the horns of a dilemma”, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.36. We could learn from Mr. Hobson’s story that he .A. wanted to teach the students a lessonB. liked to make things difficult for the studentsC. didn’t permit the students to ride his best horsesD. didn’t know th e students were good at riding horses37. The underlined word “seam” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A. the line where two pieces of wood meetB. the piece of wood which begins to leakC. the side of the ship which was being hung overD. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship38. Which of the following expressions doesn’t mean bad choices?A. Between the devil and the deep blue sea.B. Hobson’s choice.C. Between a rock and a hard place.D. On the horns of a dilemma.BThe bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins —lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety (焦虑) builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There’s hardly room for the question, “Will you save me a seat?” at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned (指定的) tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The school’s president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick beforegetting their food. Each stick has a number that’s linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn’t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity (包容) and friendship.People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.39. What inspired the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system?A. Students didn’t speak to friends at a table.B. S tudents didn’t manage to get a seat in the cafeteria.C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.40. Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?A. Because students were tired of them.B. Because they didn’t work out as expected.C. Because they were replaced by something else.D. Because there was no need for them any more.41. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A. The benefits of the system.B. The disadvantages of the system.C. The wider use of the system.D. The lessons learned from the system.CGood luck symbols and their meaningsRich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that holds us toget her is luck. Let’s have a look at the meanings of some luck symbols.There are many more symbols of good luck. However, one should never rely completely on these symbols for success, and should view them as just confidence boosters. Good Luck!42. The underlined word “akin” probably means .A. dueB. usefulC. similarD. harmful43. Which of the following can bring us good luck?A. Keeping a ladybug as a pet.B. Ru bbing the Buddha’s stomach.C. Dropping a penny to the floor.D. Placing the Buddha against the main door.44. According to the text, a brown egg .A. may invite the evil eyeB. is not a sign of good luckC. can bring people happinessD. is more delicious than ordinary ones45. What does the author tell us in the last paragraph?A. Learn how to get good luck.B. Learn more symbols of good luck.C. Try hard to build up our confidence.D. Rely on ourselves rather than the luck symbols.DWhen people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That’s a hard one, don’t you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred (仇恨), it’s definitely not possible. Well, that’s what some people say.But you know what I think? There is hope. And you find happiness everywhere — old couples who’ve been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties —just to gain attention. We’re so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life’s all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry. And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.Most of us are always depressed and unhappy. Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely. All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations(挫折). And maybe, just maybe, they’ll turn into your best friends. They’ll make you stronger, they’ll help you face reality and they’ll teach you to value the little things in life.Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can’t find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on.“FIND” happiness —we all think it’s some sort of destination. We keep “looking” for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn’t really something that we can “find”. It’s not a destination, it’s not something you find along the road of life; it’s a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality.So here are your questions:Are you happy?Have you found what you are looking for?Do you think life is hard?Have a great day, and I hope you’re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, butI hope you find the strength to face whatever it gives you.46. What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?A. Hard.B. Easy.C. Possible.D. Impractical.47. According to the third paragraph, many of the author’s peers .A. are popular and admiringB. have a bad attitude to lifeC. suffer from extreme povertyD. are very generous and wealthy48. Why do most people feel very unhappy?A. They might live a poor life.B. They have difficulty getting best friends.C. They fail to value friendship with others.D. They lack the courage to face difficulties.49. Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?A. Happiness is an attitude.B. Happiness is too unreal to feel.C. Happiness is a kind of destination.D. Happiness means that everything goes right.50 The author’s purpose in writing this article is to tell us .A. what happiness isB. where happiness isC. why we feel unhappyD. who controls our happiness四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can play 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually groom our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions/5 said Burger.South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the country to teach children to play golf. Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing（挥棒）with a coach・When the children are good enough, they can practice at a regular golf course, and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Development Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said, “The game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette（礼仪）;it teaches them values; it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. They're doing something worthwhile that they can actually pursue（追求）once they become an adult;5 And there are benefits for those young players who do not become professionals・'To play golf, they also have to go to school. They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to get a job, especially in the golfing industry/5 said Ostle・In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years. The future of South African golf is already in good hands.1 ・ The reason why South Africa produces top golfers is that ____ ・A.the government pays much attention to itB.children of South Africa are very cleverC.the weather there is quite good for golfD.they play tournaments all over the country2・ The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ___ .A・ how South Africa discovers and develops golfersB.how South Africa trains teenage golf playersC・ the golfers come from all social backgroundsD. children learn to play golf for free in South Africa3. What does the underlined word “groorrT in the first paragraph probably mean?A.Clean.B. Arrange.C. Attend・D. Train.4・ According to Andy Ostle, the game of golf _____ .A.is the best sport in the worldB.intends to teach children etiquetteC.is not really their original sportD.helps children grow healthily5.What can we learn about the young players according to the text?A・ They are tired of playing football and turn to golf.B.About a quarter of them will become professional players.C・ They go to learn playing golf in order to find a good job.D. Most of them play golf in order to get rid of school exams.Paul Larsen's Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. "Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sail or who's now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission IUJ )・“A large part of this boat is flying/ says Larsen. “When it's going at high speed, it，s like a well-built paper airplane：The record is open to any craft (飞彳亍as long as it9s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board・ At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念)is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago.

Larsen's team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier・Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.Tt is dangerous/9 Larsen admits. "You go out there and you don't realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong?5 The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. '"That^ a killer.

These youngsters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own.The 1960s5 hippies fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today are interested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art. Not much of this was ever appreciated by the older gen eratio n・ The men wore long, loose hair like the women. They tried to show off themselves and didn't care about what others thought about them. In the 1960s\ the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look・The fashion clothing was a form against traditional cultures・ The personal expressions of people resulted in the styles that had great influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses. Short skirts were worn with knee-high boots, while the long skirts were considered better matched with sandals（凉鞋）.They were used to represent peace and love. Artificial flowers and real flowers were worn in the hair.During the hippies movement, men and women grew their hair long, contrary to popular belief. Usually hair was parted in the middle. During this time period, long sidebums（鬓角）were the thing for men. Fashion accessories（饰品）for women during the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Women's jewelry was mostly influenced by Native American or any similar handmade designs・ Sportingany necklace with beads was hugely popular• Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was a basic part of the hippies scene・ Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot（赤狀卩的）•Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion industry in a major way. The hippies fashion keeps changing with time, but women who found their own individuality and style in the 1960s have never let it go and passed much of their own hippies influence on to their daughters.11.What does this passage mainly tell us?A.The hippies fashion in the 1960s.B.The hippies dress and hair styles.C・ How hippies movement came about.D.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fr esh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabe th Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer,my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread(姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36.

Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The taste of a good bookB. The best way to make kids learnC. Eating means more than readingD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsBAbout 18,000 refugees(难民) from Burma have come to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned thelanguage, their parents did not. That made communication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s moth er, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more communicative. As parents, they are also more involved in their children’s school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about communicating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if that’s the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”41. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A local school is providing free English lessons for the poor.B. Refugees from Burma are trying their best to learn English.C.

Britain’s Park Authority has made great efforts to protect these wild areas from over habitation and commercial activities.Mainland England and Wales have the largest number of protected parklands. The first established area was the 1,438 kilometre Peak District. This earliest national park lies in central northern England. Due to its vast natural beauty, the Peak District is thought to be the world’s most visited national park after Japan’s Mount Fuji.In the northwest area of Wales lies Snowdonia National Park. This attractive, mysterious ancient landscape is home to craggy(陡峭的) mountains. Walking trails to Mount Snowdon are just one of several activities exciting to hikers.National parks in the UK can also boas t of having Britain’s largest protected wetland “The Broads” just outside the village of Horning. An ideal spot for families, this 200-mile area combines waterways with an interesting intersection(交叉) of windmills, castles and an ancient Norman church.Spreading across 885 miles of truly impressive rocky land is Lake District National Park. England’s largest park attraction is spread between Edinburgh to the north and Manchester to the south. Although the land itself seems wild, almost 40,000 people live within the park. Within this district’s vast borders we can find over 6,000 archaeological (考古的) sites and monuments dating back to prehistory.The United Kingdom has taken great care to protect its wild open spaces for future generations, and all the parks are adventures waiting to be found which can be enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.46.

Which of the following shows the correct position of Lake District National Park?E=Edinburg M=Manchester L= Lake District National ParkPartⅢWriting (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares with his teachers. To this end, it’s quite necessary to buil d trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction between students and teachers. Also developing mutual (互相的) respect for each other is necessary. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed (轻松的) atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying(欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Teenage life is the “awkward stage” of a person’s development. This is the transition (过渡) from being an innocent, playful child to becoming a fully grown and fully matured adult. However, when at this stage of life, one cannot truly call himself an adult yet nor can he call himself a child. This is why there is often a barrier or a gap for teenagers.Sometimes I feel my parents don’t understand me. Whether it is because of a communication gap or a generation gap, I think they cannot grasp what I’m trying to imply sometimes. They try to force change upon me instead of just letting it happen naturally. I know in myself that I have certain weaknesses th at I have to improve on and I’m trying to but sometimes they just don’t understand.Teenage life is a difficult thing. Just as adults have a lot of responsibilities (责任); so do we and even more. We not only have to look after our physical changes, but also have to deal with our mental, emotional and psychological changes as well. Thus, they can only imagine how we can handle such a stressful life.Some people are even more unfortunate, because they’re not only misunderstood by their parents, relatives, but also by their peers. More often than not, they’re usually alone and are having difficulty socializing with other people. When one has problems, usually the family is the support system. But for these people, they have no one to turn to for help, no one to share their problems with, and no one to release their stress or worries. This creates a psychological (心理的) imbalance that can build up inside that person, whichcan lead to depression. So to prevent this, we need to develop relationships with other people because we need friends to help us and be with us.61. Why do teenagers often have a barrier or a gap?

高二,上英语必修5,牛津测试题：nit2阶段测试Ⅱ含答案

14-15学年牛津高二上学期B5U2阶段测试ⅡClass: Name: Marks: 满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws (投球) one after another without a break before I could go home. I was ten years old at that time. So I shot (投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, saying that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — giving the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates gave me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to the free throw line and made two free throws successfully. I ended up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author’s father was very str ict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102.

The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the author had the talent.D. Royal High S chool team was stronger than the author’s team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when acolleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Bryan sai d, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as possible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he said, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowle dge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”4. Before helping the old lady, Brian ..A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into practice5. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D.

After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women,the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we bel ieve if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable (能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.8. The company gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the company offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption9. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants10. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear in JapanC. the company is not alone in saving energyD. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is welcome in JapanB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. Japan is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off (睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, nodding off after learning something new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously (有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness (不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, st udents’ memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this study is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative memory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”12. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps remember it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types14. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ memoriesC. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories improved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.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。

高二,上英语必修,牛津测试题：nit阶段测试Ⅰ含答案

14-15学年牛津高二上学期B5U2阶段测试ⅠClass: Name: Marks: 满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ADear Santa,What do I ask this year? I have read each ad carefully in my mailbox, and looked through the colorful ads in the newspaper. There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing.I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-covered mountains and the small river dotted with fat geese.I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don’t have enough money. There are kind faces in public places.There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth (炉床); I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house. There are deer that wander into my yard and smell apples.Green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my kitchen. And a full bucket (桶) of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promise next year’s rich harvest. I need nothing.Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air flow down my leg. How powerful the hand is that sweeps the wind along the mountains! Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life.1. The author has read each ad in his mailbox in order to .A. find something as a present for himselfB. find something as a present for his kidsC. get the news about vegetable pricesD. get the news about pet animals2. What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Uncertain.B. Anxious.C. Hopeful.D. Dissatisfied.3. We can learn from the text that the author .A. is very old and in bad healthB. lives alone and has few friendsC. is too poor to pay for good clothesD. may live close to mountains and riversBI want to become a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find theanswer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.“You’ve got to have the interest. If you don’t like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little pictu re of a story. The information has to be accurate. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.”Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills come from experience, so you won’t walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you’ve done it long enough,” she said.Mary said, “You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepar ed to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ‘Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?’”From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.4. The underlined part “not persist” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.A. stay upB. stand outC. give upD. keep up5. In Paragraph 2, Mary Harte mainly tells us that .A. being a journalist is interestingB. journalists will face a lot of difficultiesC. the author must be fond of journalismD. many people give up journalism6. According to Paragraph 3, Mary Harte thinks that it is important to .A. get accurate information through talking and watchingB. watch what other journalists do to make a wonderful storyC. talk to people about how they want their stories to be writtenD. add as much information to a story as possible to make it funny7. By saying “You will not get a job handed to you” in Paragraph 5, Mary Harte means the author .A. will not become a journalistB. will have to work hard for the jobC. will not get any help from othersD. will get tired of being a journalist soonCVolcan de Lodo El Totumo, ColombiaIf in Colombia at the end of February, you should make Cartagena part of your journey — herebetween December and March every year is the opportunity to get dirty. Bathing in mud from the Volcan de Lodo El Totumo can be best described as a primal (原始的) experience. The volcano is small, looking more like a little hill. If you reach the very top, you’ll discover gray mud. It’s believed that the mud has a curing effect in cleaning your skin.La Tomatina, SpainIt’s possibly the most famous food fight in the world. So if you think tomatoes are only for salads, you are on a wrong track. In a small Spanish village named Bunol, on the last Wednesday of August every year, trucks dump (倾倒) about 120 tons of tomatoes in the streets of the town and tomato juice flows from there.El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), MexicoIn early November each year Mexicans gather in cemeteries (墓地) to hold a celebration. That’s a celebration of the dead. People smoke cigars and eat festive foods to show life goes on as they honor those who have died. The idea is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead pay their families a visit on October 31 and stay until November 2.World Ice Golf Championship, GreenlandFor more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been regarded as the most extreme golf tournament in the world. There golfers take extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with. Then it will take players time and patience to be accustomed (习惯) to orange balls to play with. Determined by weather conditions, the tournament is scheduled for March each year in Greenland.8. The text is mainly about .A. interesting holiday centers for travelersB. some unusual festivals and eventsC. strange customs around the worldD. special sports events in Europe9. Which of the following lasts the longest?A. Volcan de Lodo El Totumo.B. World Ice Golf Championship.C. El Dia de los Muertos.D. La Tomatina.10. The most challenging thing for golfers in the World Ice Golf Championship is .A. to reach Greenland in MarchB. to walk on the ice instead of grassC. to make themselves used to the weatherD. to find the orange balls in the snow11. El Dia de los Muertos is held in order to .A. pass their belief to the next generationB. visit the dead in a special wayC. celebrate the death of othersD. honor their ancestorsDAt 91, Philip Theil lives in a century-old house in Seattle’s University District and that’s the way he wants to keep it. “As far as I’m concerned, I would not like to leave this place. Living in a group is something I couldn’t tolerate. I’d kill myself before I have to do that.” Many elderly Americans, who can no longer manage on their own, spend their final years in a nursing home. However, the vast majority of seniors would prefer to live in their own homes as long as possible.Theil says he and his wife manage pretty well right now. But the couple can feel their advancing age and realize they will soon need more help with basic household chores, like changing the light bulb at the top of the stairs.“To change that tube, I have to bring in a stepladder (折梯) and put it partly on the landing and partly on the stairs and climb up,” Theil says. “It’s frightening.” In the old days, the Theils could ask their children to help them. But those young he lpers have grown up and gone. “We have kids and we call them sometimes, but one lives in Munich, Germany, another lives in London and the third lives in New York,” Theil says. “They’re not going to visit us for a weekend.”So the Theils would like to join a virtual (虚拟的) village, which provides a local network of volunteers helping the elderly people in place. They help seniors with anything from transportation to home repairs and dog walking. The concept came into being in Boston a decade ago and has since grown into a national movement. In most cases, the villages charge a membership (会员) fee from about $100 to more than $1,000 per year. Once you’re a member, some of the services are free.12. Theil wants to .A. live with his children togetherB. kill himself before moving outC. live in his own home for his final yearsD. spend the rest of his life in a nursing home13. The difficulty for the Theils at present is that .A. the light bulbs in their house always break downB. they ca n’t do some household chores easilyC. they can’t take care of themselves at allD. they miss their children too much14. What can we learn about Theil’s family?A. The old couple can’t depend on their kids helping them.B. Their children all live in foreign countries.C. Their children are too busy to go home.D. Theil’s wife can’t manage on herself.15. According to the text, we learn that .A. the number of the old people in the US is increasing greatlyB. virtual villages help the old people stay in their own homeC. people often offer help to the old people for free in the USD. virtual villages have become popular around the world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 fact, they are so endangered that they are believed to be even extinct by now. They were found in the southeastern area of the US and Cuba. Some researchers said there might be a small population living in Florida or Arkansas, but confirmed news has still not been received.The Amur LeopardThe Amur Leopards that lived in the snowy and remote areas of Northern China and Korea were already few and rare. And now due to road building, over logging, and illegal hunting, this beautiful species is also about to die out. In fact, a recent survey showed there are only 14 to 20 adults which have been confirmed to be living in a forest.The Javan RhinocerosIf you thought that of all the rhinoceros species, the Black Rhino was an endangered one, think again. Because according to a survey, it is estimated that only 40 to 60 of the Javan rhinos are left remaining in the Ujung Kulon National Park, which is located on the western part of an island in Indonesia. Facing extinction because of its precious horns, this rare species came under protection. However, people still might not be able to save it because of scarce (不足的) mating population. The Northern Right WhaleThe Northern Right Whale got its name back in the 1970s by people who were making sure it would go extinct quickly — the fishermen. The Right Whale possesses good quantities of oil which is why it is hunted down. Moreover, it floats atop water when dead. It makes it easy to handle. It is protected now, but it is feared that extinction might not be forbidden.40. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .A. the Amur Leopard is good at adapting to new environmentB. human activities played a key role in putting the Amur Leopard in dangerC. the Amur Leopard was forced to live in the remote areas by human activitiesD. the extinction of the Amur Leopard has nothing to do with the loss of habitat41. What can we learn about the Black Rhino according to the passage?A. It is not as endangered as the Javan Rhino.B. There are only 40 to 60 of them left in the world.C. They mainly live in the Ujung Kulon National Park.D. It is the most endangered of all the rhinoceros species.42. We can infer from the passage that Javan rhinos are endangered mainly because of .A. road buildingB. over loggingC. illegal huntingD. natural disasters43. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Being easy to kill.B. Floating atop when dead.C. Having good quantities of oil.D. The reason why it is hunted down.CDear Roger,There’s a sentence in the extra credit story of the June 17 issue: “I’m not referring to First Dog Bo.” Can you tell m e why the last three words are capitalized (大写)?Thank you very much!— Kevin Roger says:It means to be playful and refers to the president’s family. In the US, the wife of the president has been referred to as the First Lady for 150 years, as a title of respect. So, sometimes journalists will make a joke by referring to the “First Daughter”, or, in this case, the “First Dog”.Dear Roger,I don’t understand the following sentence in Screenplay of the last issue: “So much fo r sisterhood; here come the bride wars.” What’s the meaning of “so much for sisterhood”?— Linda Roger says:It’s a very common usage. It’s dismissive (不予理会的) and means something like “that’s all that needs to be said or done about that” or “nothing more needs to be said about that”. In this case, it’s “Well, no need to talk about sisterhood anymore because it looks like it’s dead.”Dear Roger,The words of wisdom for the last issue seem interesting, but I don’t quite get it. What does G. K. Chesterto n imply by “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity”? Can you share your explanation with me?— Xu Yan Roger says:He’s being serious and humorous at the same time by implying that good people (“angels”) are respected (“fly” high) because they don’t take themselves seriously, while bad people are finally destroyed because they take themselves too much seriously. To “take sth lightly” mean s to treat it in a light way. To “fall” means to fail. “Gravity” is a pun (双关语) here: it’s the force that holds us on the Earth but it also means “deeply/deadly serious”.44. According to the passage, what’s the problem with Linda?A. She has no sense of numbers.B. She fails to understand the meaning of “so much for sisterhood”.C. She doesn’t know the meaning of sisterhood.D. She fails to understand the meaning of “bride wars”.45. According to Roger, in which of the following situations can you use “so much for…”?A. Class is over and the teacher wants to dismiss his students.B. Someone has helped you and you want to show your thanks.C. You step on someone’s foot and want to make an apology.D. Your friends want to be off and you want them to stay a little longer.46. According to what Roger explains to Xu Yan, which of the following can be regarded as a pun?A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tired.47. What do you guess Roger most probably be?A. The host of an English program.B. An English expert working for an English paper.C. An editor working for an English paper.D. An English teacher working for a foreign language institute.DOne night, a black ship sails through the dark ocean near Indonesia. The ship’s crew wear black paint on their hands and faces and dark clothing. The ship quietly slides next to a Dutch trading ship. Then — the crew attack!This type of scene occurred frequently during the 19th century. At that time, the Dutch ruled Indonesia. But they could not stop the pirates(海盗) from the local Bugis people group. These pirates, desiring both independence and wealth, usually attacked without warning. According to some, the Bugis terrified the Europeans so much that European stories mentioned them. Parents began warning their children that if they didn’t behave, the “bogeyman” would get t hem.But Bugis sailors also traded peacefully with people throughout Indonesia and beyond. They traveled to Northern Australia to exchange goods with the Aborigines(土著居民). Bugis traders stayed there for several months each year and built some buildings that still exist. They also influenced the local language and artwork. Today, the Bugis continue to sail and trade throughout Indonesia. They are famous for selling tires, wood, food and cloth. Their ships are still built using the traditional design but now come equipped with motors.However, most Bugis are not sailors but rice farmers who live on Sulawesi, Indonesia’s third-largest island. They sometimes fish or sell handmade products like beautiful silk clothing for extra money. Women, in particular, often sell food and cloth in rural markets.Bugis houses are built on stilts (桩子) that can rise three or more meters above the ground. But during farming seasons, they often sleep in simple shelters on the ground to be nearer to their fields.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The apple is a round shaped fruit that grows on small deciduous(落叶的) trees. There are numerous varieties of apples: Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Fuji and many more. They come in different colors such as red, yellow and green varying in flavor and sweetness.Apples are all good for your health. They can improve your overall health by preventing heart disease, improving memory, maintaining blood sugar levels, reducing risk of stroke (中风), reducing risk of cancer and more! In addition, apples also can help make skin look younger, especially the Granny Smith, Red Delicious and Fuji kinds.Apples can be eaten in so many ways! Bake them, use them in desserts or eat them whole! Add them in fruit salads, eat with cheese, or add a fun flavor on top or all over! You can eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner! You can also eat them as a snack, or use them for fun party games!However, there are some things you must pay attention to when you want to eat apples. For example, you must eat clean apples. Some apples are grown with the use of insecticides (杀虫剂) or protective waxes, containing unhealthy remains. So wash your apples with soap and water. Of course, you’d better buy organic apples if you can.If you want to buy apple juice, just be careful and read the nutritional label on the container. Avoid drinks with high sugar content. Instead, look for 100% natural fruit juices or make your own freshly squeezed (榨), homemade juices. Consider buying organic apple juice, too.CAUTION! Apples can turn rotten. Watch for signs of brown spots or soft texture when squeezed. In order to avoid becoming sick, don’t eat apples that have been rotten.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Babies work hard to get ready to talk. They listen attentively, and at around 6 months of age start to babble (含糊不清地说) with passion. A new study suggests babies might also learn to talk by using their eyes.“Babies start to lip-read when they learn to babble,” said David Lewkowicz, a psychologist who worked on the study. He and Amy Hansen-Tift, both of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, conducted the experiments demonstrating babies’ lip-reading skills. The scientists studied 179 babies from families where English is the main language spoken at home.The children, who were divided into groups by age, wore special devices while they watched videos of a woman speaking English or speaking Spanish, which was a foreign language to the babies. The device kept track of where the child looked while watching each video.Babbling babies between ages 8 and 12 months old watched the speaker’s lips during every video. Babies who could talk also watched the speaker’s lips —but only while viewing Spanish videos. While watching the English videos, babies who could talk watched the woman’s eyes. The scientists say these findings suggest that babies who already use words can look away from a speaker’s mouth and toward the eyes for additional, nonverbal (非语言的) communication clues.The new study is useful for understanding how babies learn to speak, but it also might help researchers understand disorders like autism (孤独症). Children with autism have a hard time communicating clearly and forming relationships with people. Previous studies have shown that children with autism watch people’s mouths and avoid eye contact by the time they’re 2 years old. The new experiments suggest long lip-reading in younger children may be an early sign of autism.61. Why did the researchers make the children wear special devices during the experiments?

In the coming days，the museum will display all the items found in the whale’s system.

Michelle Pawlaw is glad that she signed up for it. “Getting to experience fire-fighting is really cool and something that most people don’t get to do,” says Michelle. Michelle and eight other teenage girls took part in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside of Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley was in charge of the program. “The purpose of the camp is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a job,” she says.The free-of-charge, overnight camp was designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the city. They took classes and learned how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person. They also did their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipment.Firefighting is still a male-dominated (男性主导的) service, but Burley says with 32 women in its force of 320, the Arlington Fire Department is above the national average of 4.5 percent. Clare Burley joined the department seven years ago. “Women are generally weaker than men physically, but we do everything that the guys do to the same standard (标准). We are tested to the same standard. We a re expected to operate to the same standard,” she says.Most of the girls say they never thought about becoming a firefighter, but the camp was a great learning experience. By spending three days together, they also made new friends and had a lot of fun.36. What do we know about the firefighting camp?A. Some boys were also involved in it.B. It was one of those common summer camps.C. It was provided for teenage girls without any fees.D. Its aim was to choose some new firefighters from the girls.37. What can we infer from the text?A. Women firefighters work fewer hours than men firefighters.B. It is not dangerous for women firefighters to carry out their duty.C. It requires women firefighters to train harder than men firefighters.D. The standards set for women and men firefighters are not the same.38. The percentage of women firefighters in the Arlington Fire Department is .A. 4.5%B. 10%C. 15%D. 20%BTrees also suffer from stress, just as people do. Sounds unbelievable, isn’t it? So, how do youknow if your tree is stressed? Trees actually speak quite loudly when they are stressed; you just need to learn how to listen.If your tree is wilting (枯萎), it probably needs water or you might be watering it too much. Unfortunately, under- or over-watering shows the same signs. However, a little research work will have the problem solved in no time. Giving your tree proper water is a good idea. If you have a drip irrigation system (滴灌系统), make sure it is working properly. If your tree is not quite right, with spots on the leaves or other unusual discolorations, look over your tree carefully. These are signs of insects, disease or nutrient problems. Look on the undersides of the leaves, as these are where they like to hide in.You should have the right species for your climate and soils. Nutrient problems will appear if your soil is not right for the tree. If the climate is not suitable, a tree is stressed from too much or too little water and it sends out signals to insects, which take advantage of its weaknesses. Insects weaken the tree even more, and then diseases take hold.Trees will show signs of stress, such as dropping bark (树皮) or leaves when their roots are disturbed. At this time, do not decide the tree needs fertilizer. Feeding a sick tree with too much fertilizer will just make it sicker. Sometimes you love your plants to death. Too much fertilizer may make your tree grow faster, but fast growth upsets a tree’s tender balance. The faster a tree grows, the less energy it has for defense against insects and disease.39. The underlined word “discolorations” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. signs of good healthB. strange appearancesC. the change or loss of colorD. the bad smells that plants give out40. Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the situation in Paragraph 3?A. Never judge a book by its cover.B. Out of sight, out of mind.C. Troubles never come alone.D. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.41. Dropping bark or leaves probably shows that .A. the tree is seriously lacking in waterB. the root of the tree is negatively affectedC. the tree has been badly attacked by insectsD. the tree is in great need of various nutrients42. What may happen if you give a tree too much fertilizer?A. It will soon be killed by the fertilizer.B. It will lose its ability to fight against insects.C. It will lose its ability to keep standing in the wind.D. Its growth and development will completely stop.CNew York teenager Timothy Doner has an unusual hobby. He likes to learn languages. The 17-year-old has mastered 23 languages now. While this has earned him the title of the world’s youngest polyglot, he is still not satisfied.Timothy’s quest (追求) to learn languages began in 2009 after completing basic Hebrew (希伯来语) lessons in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah ceremony. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to become fluent in modern Hebrew. Longing for more, he then picked up Arabic. Within four days, he managed to master the alphabet and the ability to read the language fluently. After that, he couldn’t stop himself from learning more languages.Over the years, he has added Russian, Farsi, Hausa, Italian, Persian, Swahili, Indonesian, Hindi, Pashto, Turkish, Kurdish, Yiddish, Dutch, Croatian, Spanish and German to his languages. The list does not include the ones that he has taken up at school in the past several years, which include French, Mandarin, Latin, and of course English. The most amazing part is that he has managed to learn all the additional languages on his own, using just online apps and grammar books.The teenager begins by learning how to pronounce the alphabet correctly and then teaching himself the correct grammar. He then strengthens this by reading newspapers and talking with people who speak that language, either in person or on Internet chat rooms. In order to attract other people with similar skills and interest, he has even started posting videos of himself speaking different languages on YouTube. He is now in constant contact with 31-year-old Ohio resident Moses McMormick, who has mastered 50 languages.Timothy’s next goal is to conquer Sudanic and Malay. He says that his language skills come in quite handy when he is on subway, walking around New York City or even while at a restaurant.43. The underlined word “polyglot” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to someone who.A. is considered well-roundedB. can speak various languagesC. is considered to be a bookwormD. never gets satisfied with his life44. What do we know about Timothy Doner?A. He didn’t like learning new languages when he was learning modern Hebrew.B. He tried to speak modern Hebrew fluently to prepare for a ceremony.C. It took him only several years to master over twenty languages.D. He learnt his first foreign language by himself.45. It is implied in the text that Timothy Doner.A. showed no gift for language learning when he was at schoolB. doesn’t have teachers to tea ch him the additional languagesC. spends almost all his time learning these languages every dayD. doesn’t know why he wants to learn these languages46. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Timothy Doner finds it really difficult to learn a language.B. Timothy Doner is no longer interested in mastering any other languages.C. Timothy Doner makes use of daily occasions to improve his language skills.D. Timothy Doner likes talking with strangers on subway.DActive listening is the art of listening to another person’s feelings and then reflecting them back. Active listening does not require that you agree with your children’s feelings, but it allows your children to feel connected and understood and provides them with an opportunity to explore those mysterious impulses (冲动) known as emotions.Four-year-old Chrissy ran through the front door, slamming (砰地关上) it so forcefully that the pictures fell off the wall. “I hate Tammy!” she cried. Then Chrissy threw herself onto the sofa in a storm of sobs (抽泣).Her mom, Diane, looked up from the bills she was going to pay. Resisting the impulse to scold (责骂) Chrissy for slamming the door, she asked quietly, “What’s the matter with you, Chrissy?”Chrissy said sadly, “Tammy took my ball! Tammy is bigger than me. It isn’t fair for her to take away my ball.”“It must be pretty upsetting to be picked on by a big girl,” Diane said. “Yeah. I’m mad,” the little girl said firmly, “I don’t want to play with her anymore.”She sat quietly for a moment, watching as Diane put stamps on envelopes. After a while, Chrissy said, “Mom, can I go to play out in the backyard?” Diane gave her daughter a hug. Chrissy left, seeming to forget her anger.By simply reflecting back her daughter’s underlying feelings, Di ane allowed Chrissy the opportunity to explore what was going on for her, and in the process, Chrissy discovered a solution to her own problem. Some other time, Diane might be able to talk with Chrissy about avoiding future problems—and perhaps tell her what she could do to express her anger instead of slamming the door.Like most adults, sometimes what children really need is for someone to listen and understand. Active listening opens the door for real connection, problem-solving and works towards building a lifelong relationship of love and trust.47. This text is intended for .A. teachersB. parentsC. childrenD. students48. How did Chrissy feel when she entered the room?A. Very happy.B. Very peaceful.C. Very angry.D. Very disappointed.49. What do we know about Tammy?A. She is older than Chrissy.B. She is younger than Chrissy.C. She is weaker than Chrissy.D. She is larger than Chrissy.50. What was Diane probably going to do before then?A. She was going to post a letter.B. She was going to scold Chrissy.C. She was going to slam the door.D.

It’s about engaging with the text, understanding the characters’ motivations, and empathizing with their experiences. The classroom buzzes with discussions as students share their interpretations and insights, fostering a love for literature that transcends the boundaries of language learning.This semester’s English curriculum includes a diverse range of genres and themes, designed to challenge and inspire students. From historical fiction that transports them to different eras, to science fiction that sparks their imagination about the future, each book is a treasure trove of ideas andemotions.Third Question: Reading ComprehensionRead the following excerpt from one of the books being studied in Mrs. Li’s class and answer the questions that follow.Excerpt:“As the sun set over the rolling hills, the protagonist, Emma, stood at the edge of the cliff, her heart heavy with uncertainty. She had always been the one to make decisions with ease, but now, faced with a choice that would change the course of her life, she found herself paralyzed with fear. The sea below her, vast and unpredictable, mirrored her inner turmoil. Should she stay and fight for what she believed in, or should she sail away into the unknown, hoping for a better future?”1.What emotion is Emma experiencing in the excerpt? Provide evidence from the textto support your answer.Answer: Emma is experiencing uncertainty and fear. Evidence: “her heart heavy with uncertainty” and “she found herself paralyzed with fear.”2.What metaphor is used in the passage to describe Emma’s state of mind? Explain itssignificance.Answer: The sea is used as a metaphor for Emma’s inner turmoil. Its vastness and unpredictability reflect the overwhelming nature of the choices she faces and her inability to see a clear path forward.3.How does the setting (the sunset over the rolling hills and the sea below) contributeto the mood of the scene?Answer: The setting creates a sense of grandeur and isolation, enhancing the sense of drama and emotional intensity in the scene. The sunset adds a touch of melancholy, reflecting Emma’s heavy heart, while the sea below symbolizes the vastness of the challenges she faces.4.Based on the excerpt, speculate on Emma’s eventual decision and provide a briefrationale for your prediction.Answer: It is difficult to predict Emma’s decision definitively without further context, but given her state of mind and the imagery used, it is possible that she may choose to face her fears and stay to fight for what she believes in. This is suggested by the idea that the sea represents her inner turmoil and uncertainty, implying that she must confront these feelings rather than flee from them.

They also think that art can be a form of symbolic communication, helping people work out their problems symbolically, as is expressed in their art. Based on the belief that the process of making art in and of itself can be healing, art therapy allows more to be expressed than simply words. It is an accessible therapy for those who cannot — or will not —rely on language, either because they are too young, or have some emotional or physical impediments (障碍).It all started in the 1940s, when artists working in some hospitals became aware of the fact that art could be the basis for a strong working relationship between therapists and patients. It is now used not only for people with emotional problems or ment al health problems, but also for “healthy” people who want to express themselves and get to know themselves better through art.People go to an art therapist for a variety of reasons. Some are young children who lack themeans to express themselves properly, and can only do so through art. The trained therapist helps them to better understand the problems they are facing in a relaxed atmosphere that is fun rather than threatening.Others are adults who shy away from open communication, or who simply prefer to show their feelings in an artistic fashion. Rather than deal with problems in a traditional talking therapy, they prefer to talk and create art at the same time, with a qualified therapist who will blend the two activities together for best effect in a safe and comfortable environment.36.

The administration has suggested what it calls a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights (《网络用户隐私权利法案》). The bill is meant to give Americans more control over their personal information.President Obama said last Thursd ay, “Never has privacy been more important than today, in the age of Internet, the World Wide Web and smart phones.”Under the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, Americans would have more control over what personal data companies collect from them and how they use it. It also would require the companies to be more open about their privacy and security policies.Darren Hayes, head of the Computer Information Systems Program at Pace University in New York, says, “Many count ries in Europe and Asia already have online privacy laws in place. I thinkthat, you know, this legislation (法律) is just, it’s long overdue. I think that in its present form it looks very effective and I think that it is a step in the right direction and the average online user does need more control over the use of their information.”Professor Hayes says the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights holds companies like Facebook and Google to a higher level of responsibility. “I think in practical terms it’s going to make online companies more accountable for what they do,” he says.The new measures are part of a larger government effort to improve online privacy. The administration has asked Congress (国会) to pass the legislation in support of the measures. It also wants lawmakers to give the Federal Trade Commission and State Attorneys Generals additional powers to enforce the measures. Professor Hayes says the effectiveness of the bill will depend strongly on that.“What’s also going to be important about this legislation are the penalties (处罚) and f ines,” Professor Hayes adds.Also last week, a group of Internet browser(浏览器) companies agreed to support plans for adding “do-not-track” technology to their web browsers. The group agreed not to use tracking information to search for users who do not wish to be found out. The companies will, however, still collect the information.41.

When I turned seven, my parents made a decision that delighted me beyond measure: they chose to adopt children.It was Christmastime when my two new sisters, aged 6 and 3, arrived from Colombia. When they came, our friends and relatives visited us bringing gifts to welcome them. That evening our guests went home and we were left to ourselves. My sisters and I went to the bedroom we were to share. As we crawled into our beds, our parents came to see each of us, saying goodnight. They whispered (低声地说) to my new sisters, “I love you.”From the beginning these newcomers were like my own flesh and blood. We played and fought and learned just as if we had always been sisters. From the beginn ing we were all my parents’ daughters equally, as they scolded (责备) and encouraged us.Life seemed great. Beneath the surface, however, my parents were struggling with their own problems. They didn’t love each other any more. As we girls were approaching o ur teen years, my parents made an announcement, “We’re getting a divorce.”My sisters had been hurt before. They suffered a lot when their birth mother abandoned (抛弃) them, and none of us understood the depth of their inner pain. It was a pain that now came back.We all struggled during this time. My father remarried and tried to provide some sort of stability (稳定) for us through this new family: another mother, brother and sister. But the relations between my parents and sisters continued to disintegrate. By the time I left for college, there was profound coldness between the family members.During my college years, my outlook on life changed a lot. My sisters also began to reconsider their own lives and make changes that eventually brought us together as a family. We daughters now can understand our parents’ feelings better. They have succeeded in providing us with a foundation of stable love. My mother and father have again become great sources of encouragement for us three sisters. One of my sisters has recently married, and family gatherings are now occasions of happiness.46.
