ALi Chunlin, a farmer, used to live in a poor village in the north of Shaanxi. In the 1980s, he went to Shenzhen to make a living with his wife.Years later, they became rich and returned to their hometown. To their surprise, the land around the village was covered with sand. That made them feel sad. After thinking carefully, Li and his wife made up their minds to fight against the sands.They bought thousands of young trees and planted them around the village. However, only a few survived, because the trees were not regularly watered. But how to get water was a big problem. They dug a well but it became dry soon. Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well. Clear water appeared, but their money was used up. They couldn’t aff ord to buy young trees. They went to several banks for help but got nothing. Finally they turned to a friend who was also from the village. The friend had a big business. Learning what they were doing, their friend was moved and decided to do something for their village too. So he offered the money they needed.With the money, they bought trees and had them planted. They looked after the trees as if they were their own children. After some time, green leaves came out. When the villagers saw the changes, some started to join Li and his wife in the fight. Then more joined. Years went by. And now larger areas around the village are covered with green trees.21. When Li and his wife returned from Shenzhen, they were sad because __________ .A. the land around the village was covered with sand.B. they didn’t have enough money to buy trees.C. their village was not as beautiful as Shenzhen.D. they didn’t have enough water to drink.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Li and his wife dug a well with enough water themselves.B. Li and his wife got much money from the banks.C. The villagers didn’t join Li and his wife in the fight.D. Their friend gave Li and his wife some money to buy trees.23. This passage is mainly about how Li and his wife __________.A. tried different ways to find waterB. made money in Shenzhen.C. fought against the sands.D. bought and planted trees.BIn the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls . I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.24. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter25. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.

Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵）.Will was interested in music, especially rap music. He began rapping when he was 12 years old. Although he soon became good enough to make a recording, Will hesitated to do so. At that time, rap music featured a lot of violence. Will was against violence in songs. He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.As he grew older, Will’s charm and sense of humor impressed many people. He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧), The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show was successful, and Will lived up to his nickname. Will’s acting career led to starring roles in majormotion pictures. Independence Day which starred Will Smith, earned more money than any movie in 1996. The following year, Men in Black earned the most money in 1997. The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist. He began mixing his interests, music and acting. His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award, while his next film, Enemy of the State, thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career, music is still his first love. He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting. Although Will’ s sense of humor is evident in his music, he often writes songs with meaning and purpose. Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son. Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older. Family and friends are very important to Will. They are what encourage him to continue in his career.28. Will Smith was given the nickname “The Prince” at school because_________.A. he was born in a royal familyB. he was generous and handsomeC. his way of talking was charmingD. he was more clever than any other student29. What was Will Smith’s attitude towards the violence in rap music?A. Positive.B. Objective.C. Uninterested.D. Opposed30. Will Smith became famous as a recording artist because of his performance in________. .A. Men in BlackB. Enemy of the StateC. Independence DayD. Just the Two of Us31. What can we learn about Will Smith from the last paragraph?A. He prefers acting to singing.B. He owes his success to his young son.C. He is grateful to his family and friends.D. He finds acting is the most challenging.DMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry(洗好的东西) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s im portant for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you @ timeforkids, com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.32. How does the author start the passage?A. By presenting some facts.B. By listing some evidence.C. By comparing different views.D. By stating his own experiences.33. According to Susie Walton,_________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about__________.A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores35. The purpose of writing the text is to_________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author’s viewpoint about parenting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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

甘肃省武威市2016_2017学年高二英语下学期第二次月考试题

甘肃省武威市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期第二次月考试题本试题分为第I卷和第II卷两部分。

第I卷为选择题，第II卷为非选择题。

第 I 卷（选择题，共100分）第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出最佳选项。

APopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. E ven some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.1. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong2. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.3. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables4 The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise5. Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachBOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?”I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.。

AWhat would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could desi gn the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kid s spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day . Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play gam es or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the worl d instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history an d the world is open to you.”There is a lot of information to be found online. For example, i f your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before y ou even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; w hat’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whene ver you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual虚拟 journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get y ou thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask forpermission before downloading programs and software into y our computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website.Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to . Or, visit ancient monu ments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s f amous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.1. According to Russell, the kids _________.A. spend too much time on the InternetB. should never chat and play games onlineC. can solve their problems through the InternetD. should study hard instead of chatting online2. From the passage we know that _________.A. we can find much information we need onlineB. Neil Armstrong traveled to the moon aloneC. the kids can download programs onto the computer freelyD. the kids can visit the new website freely without parents’ gu idance3. According to the passage, if you want to go to Tropical Rai nforests, you can _________.A. take the time shuttleB. go to the cinema to watc h 3-D filmsC. find a travel agency in GoogleD. use Google Earth4. The passage is mainly intended for _________.A. parentsB. kidsC. teachersD. adults5. In which section of a website can we probably read this passage?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Internet World.D. Touris m.BWe have all heard the old phrase “attitude is e verything”, and that phrase is certainly true. Your attitude can have a great im pact on your personal motivation, so it is important to keep a positive attitude no matter what challenges you face.As a matter of fact, keeping your attitude positive in the face o f difficulties is the motivation tip that most successful business owners will tell you. The most successful business owners, fr om Sam Walton to Bill Gates, have all been able to triumph in the face of unpleasant situations. It is those successful busin ess owners who tell you that attitude is everything. But how y ou deal with that knowledge will determine your level of succe ss.One of the most important ways to carry out “attitude is everyt hing” is to observe who you associate with and who you surro und yourself with. That is because when you surround yoursel f with negative people, their negative attitudes will infect you. So keeping your associates, colleagues, co-workers and friends as positive as possible is a great way to p ut the phrase “attitude is everything” into practice.Whatever you decide to do in life, your attitude will have a gre at effect on the success you achieve. Success, whether in the world of business or in your personal life, is directly related to your attitude, and the attitude you bring to your work. A positi ve attitude will help you achieve greater success in your job, n o matter what your current level of employment.6. According to the text, Sam Walton __________.A. is more successful than Bill GatesB. has given readers some tips about successC. has never dealt with unpleasant situationsD. is one of the most successful businessmen7. One useful way of carrying out “attitude is everything” is___ _______.A. not letting others affect your decisionsB. not making friends with people who are unsuccessfulC. keeping the people who surround you positiveD. getting some advice from successful business owners8. What’s the best title for the text ?A. Attitude Determines Your SuccessB. Motivation Tips From Successful PeopleTo Deal With Unpleasant SituationsD. Making Friends With Positive PeopleCIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers（生产商）follow certain uniform standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standar d adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to b utton from the right, and women's from the left. Considering m ost of the world's population—men and women—are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sens e for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left ?History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared o nly on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich wo men were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left w ould be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselve s, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would b e less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoni ng from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women's shirts that b uttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyon e who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shi rts.9. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industr y?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.C. It works better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.10. Women's clothes still button from the left today because__ _______.A. adopting men's style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change11. The passage is mainly developed by___________ .A. analyzing causeB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time orderDWho is your role model? Normally the answer tothis question would be anyone around you who you find truly i nspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King. Jr. , who have proven to be s trong and intelligent people.However, in today’s world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate模仿 their actions for two major reasons. Firstly, to be fashionabl e and accepted by popular culture, and secondly because sta rs’ actions are so well documented记录 by the media that it seems to attract our attention and turns it to following stars’ lives. Much of the reports about stars is s hocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren’t right f or teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is descri bed beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can’t always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have co ntrol over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every mo ve they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be i mitated. These people influence teens whether or not they wa nt to. Why should someone who doesn’t want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It’s our responsibility as teens to know right fro m wrong, and it’s time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so，we will lean toward偏向，倾向 those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.12. According to the first paragraph, _______ can usually be r ole models.A. political leadersB. wealthy writersC. people inspiring othersD. people with great intelligence13. What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars?A. Interest in stars’ life and expectation of getting rich.B. Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popul ar examples.C. Intentions to gain acceptance and encouragement from sta rs’ lifestyle.D. Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass me dia.14. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teena gers to _______.A.lose a control over their own bodies and actionsB. be responsible for their own choices and behaviorsC. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popularD. choose wrong role models according to different reports15. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. stars have the responsibility for teenagers’ actionsB. not all famous stars choose to influence teenagersC. teenagers choose those bad people as their role modelsD. stars set examples immediately they stepped into the spotli ght第二节根据短文内容，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.People often say you never get a second chance to make a fir st impression, and that's actually quite true. 16 After all, m aking a good first impression is all about making others feel g ood when spending time with them．The following tips will hel p you make a positive impression every time．● Dress appropriately17 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situat ion-appropriate clothes for social situations．It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either．● Be aware of your body languageWords express very little of what you say．Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level ． 18 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfo rtable, important and special．Nervous body language can m ake others uncomfortable and anxious．Try to be aware of yo ur body language when communicating with others．● Respect the opinions of othersNot everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendl y disagreements can be a gateway toa great conversation.

Google posted the ne w options on May 19，the same day that Amazon celebrated a milestone of selling more e-books than print books. Google includes a feature that Amazo n hasn't managed to offer yet: readers can now translate pass ages of a text while they are reading an e-book in Google books.The Google e-Bookstore has books in different languages. There are even magazines to read in the Google e-Bookstore. Not all of the books can be downloaded to an e-reader, but they can all be read online. The new Google tools will work when you are reading Google e-books in a web browser.On May 19, 2011, Google Books software engineer Derek Lei explained in an article that " all of the tools have the same sta rting point. When you select a word or a passage, you can do uble click your mouse and a menu will appear. You will then s ee options to look up a definition, translate the words, and sea rch the book. The definition works like a regular online diction ary; Google Dictionary offers a short definition with the option for more information and a pronunciation guide. The translatio n tool works the way Google's webpage translation works.”Searching books has always been part of Google's focus；Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google with the aim of se arching books. The new additions of defining books while you are reading them are common with e-book readers, but being able to translate to and from different languages, including Latin, is even bigger than the original "bi g idea" of Google books.5．Why was May 19 an important day for Google?A. Because Google began to sell more e-books than print ones.B. Because Google translated many books into Latin on that d ay.C. Because it was a turning point when Amazon was defeated by Google.D. Because Google offered new tools to make online reading easier.6．The Google e-Bookstore can offer its readers the following service EXCEPT ________.A. downloading any e-book as they like B. electronic magazinesC. e-books in many languages D. translation while reading7．When you look up a new word with Google, ________.A. you have to stop reading and turn to a new pageB. you can double click your mouse and follow the instruction sC. you must refer to its pronunciation on other websitesD. don't expect detailed information about this word 8．Google was started to_______.A. translate words or passagesB. search booksC. provide a communication toolD. exchange acade mic informationCIs there anything more important than health? I don't think s o. "Health is the greatest wealth." wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or ba d pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you r un a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor’s. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your hear t and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funn y story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man w as very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory los s and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor e xamined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat with plea sure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor als o said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't s moke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentle man came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and hap py. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a he althier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."9. The writer thinks that _____.A. work is as important as studiesB. health is more im portant than wealthC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money10. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do _____.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn't take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain11. The underlined part means "_____".A. he will be well againB. he wasn't a health y manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he was fee ling better than ever12. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man _____ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn't smoke so muchC. didn't smokeD. began to learn to sm okeDMillions of people around the world cook their food over a s moky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts ofmoney on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, peopl e are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking wat er to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cook er. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sun light into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective f or slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It include s several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's lig ht onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of pla stic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel co okers with very few supplies quickly. They do not cost much. I n Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens . However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cau se burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. Th ey will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A s olar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low t emperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.13.The solar oven has been in use for aboutA. 100 yearsB. 150 yearsC. 250 yearsD. 300 year s14.The advantage of a panel cooker is thatA. It costs very little money to makeB. food can be cooked very quickly in itC. it can cook large amounts of food at a timeD. food can be kept warm in it for a longer time15. Which of the following is a disadvantage of a parabolic co oker?A. It takes a long period to cook a mealB. It’s too heavy to be carried.C. It requires certain skills to build and operate.D. It can be used only when the weather is perfect.第二节七选五（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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry."I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!""No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!"1.

In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand ri ght away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the r eading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t giv e up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students. My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give upI didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “ See what you can do when you keep trying”A.He was new to the classB.He was tired of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home10.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA.He had good sightB.He made a great invention.C.He gave up readingD.He learned a lot from school11.What was Mrs.Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the storyA.AngryB.ImpatientC.SympatheticD.Encouraging12.What is the main idea of the passageA.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.DThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.13. We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.A. not willing to share foodB. not found around the polesC. more successful than all other animalsD. too many to achieve any level of organization14. Ants can use pheromones for______.A. escapeB. communicationC. warning enemiesD. arranging labor15. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A. Their behavior.B. Their size.C. Their number.D. Their weight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。

A．Gone are the days when people used to be devoted to a job and enjoyed working at the same place during their lifetime. Nowadays, job hopping (跳槽) has become very common. But what has led to this tendency of frequent change in jobs among employees? Well, in most of the cases, it is boredom resulting from the routine job and lack of job satisfaction that disappoints people. Searching for better work opportunities is also one of the reasons for frequent change in jobs.But, is job hopping safe for employees?Actually, job hopping can either make or break the career of the person. On the one hand, it helps you learn new work skills because you'll come across many people who have the experience of working in many different work areas. Through working in different fields you would be exposed to various work fields and as a result, you would find the field that is best for you. Also, changing the job serves a good break and will keep you enthusiastic about the life and work.On the other hand, job hopping isn't something recommended because there are disadvantages associated with it. Very often employers are afraid of hiring employees with a history of too many job changes. This is because an employee with many job records is described as someone who cannot be trusted in the long run. Also the person is often considered as someone who lacks stability, focus anddedication (奉献), apart from sound knowledge of his work area. A person gains sound knowledge of a subject only after he works on it for a certain period of time.Therefore, you shouldn't change your job too frequently; job change is recommended only if you aren't satisfied with the job, or have issu es with the current job, or have got a better job opportunity.1. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that people in the past________.A．were more devoted to work than people today B．benefited a lot from the steadiness of workC．liked to do less challenging work D．preferred not to change job2．What does the underlined word “break” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Interrupt.B．Destroy. C．Separate. D．Stop. 3．According to the text, job hopping has many advantages EXCEPT________.A．giving a good impression on the employer B．finding the fittest job for youC．learning new work skills D．keeping your interest4．What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A．To tell us the attitudes towards job hopping. B．To tell us on what condition we can change our jobs. C．To tell us to treasure the present jobs we do. D．To tell us the advantages and disadvantages of job hopping.B.There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event.There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers”，as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling Foundation acquired TED in 2001.Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might ch ange the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars in total)．It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The TED conference came after the success of .B．Two TED conferences are now held every year.C．TED talks are available in many languages.D．The Sapling Foundation owns .6．From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that________.A．it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB．the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC．TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD．the negative comments on TED greatly affect its reputation7．This author probably believes that________.A．TED is elitist B．TED is beneficial C．TED isn't important D．the TED website is the bestC.I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepp ed forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things thatconstantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I le t them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.8. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing9. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something10. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.11. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereD.Why You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work.Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error-trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.12. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it's a natural part in our life.C. Because we've been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.13. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.14. The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably means __________.A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary school pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write15. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away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。
