A news report.(B )On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house. Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that. The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice graduallydisappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.25. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.B. There are many windows in the wooden house.C. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.26.

What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change of seasons is easily felt.B. The seasons make the scenes change.C. The weather often changes in the forest.D. The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.28. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text?A. To describe the beauty of the scene around the house.B. To introduce her children’s happy life in the forest.C. To show that living in the forest is healthful.D. To share the joy of living in the nature.(C)Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station（ISS. ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through Private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing (冲浪)" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and s tare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.29．What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Find.B. Copy.C. Change.D. Lose.30. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS ?A. They are caring and thoughtB. They are patient and careful.C. They are impatient and annoyedD. They are excited and curious.31. In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts .A. get more pleasure in space than on the EarthB. find living in space a bit boring and tiringC. regard space life as commonD. love to see the Earth from space32 .The passage mainly discusses how astronauts .A. work for longer missions in spaceB. connect with people on the EarthC. observe the Earth from spaceD. spend their free time in space(D)Decision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way thebrain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress－at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.33. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively34. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.A. preference for pleasureB. ways of making choicesC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions35. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

甘肃高二高中英语期末考试带答案解析
甘肃高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.As a Fulbright（富布莱特法案基金）scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside. At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class. The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: “this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful.” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making co mments on students’ performances, the professor usually said:” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.【1】The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.A．argue with their studentsB．be more sure about their answersC．express their ideas more clearlyD．develop their students’ own way of thinking【2】Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s idea?A．Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.B．American professors are not responsible since they don’t give students answers.C．American education produces aggressive students.D．Education in China is not helpful in developing students’ creativity.【3】Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A．Comparison and contrast.B．Cause and effect.C．Giving examples.D．Description.【4】What is the author’s attitude towards education in U.S.?A．Positive B．NegativeC．Neutral D．Unsure2.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the mostefficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does not make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching will aid the childin knowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problemof learning to read by reading.【1】The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that____.A．it is one of the most difficult school coursesB．students spend endless hours in readingC．reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD．too much time is spent in teaching of reading【2】The word "scrutiny"（Para.3） most probably means____.A．inquiry B．observationC．control D．suspect【3】The main idea of the passage is that ____.A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC．reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD．reading is more complicated than generally believed3.Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all help, but the biggest longevity (长寿) seems to come from marriage. The effect was first noticed in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than the married people. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect can be seen in all causes of death, w hether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the chances are all against you, marriage can more than compensate you. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Similarly, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the co uple of years following their husband or wife’s death, and caring for your husband or wife with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the chances favor marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complicated, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(生理机制). For example, social contact can promote development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The overall social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: "People are inter-connected, so their health is inter-connected." 【1】It can be inferred from the context that the "flip side" (Para. 2) refers to _________.A．the disadvantages of being marriedB．the emotional problems arising from marriageC．the responsibility of taking care of one's familyD．the consequence of a broken marriage【2】What does the author say about social networks?A．They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B．They help develop people's community spirit.C．They provide timely support for those in need.D．They help relieve people of their life's burdens.【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．It's important that we develop a social network when young.B．To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C．Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D．We should share our social networks with each other.二、其他Unless you think you're the smartest, who doesn't want to be smarter?

For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of【8】 (risk) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.

This will prevent unnecessary accidents and【10】(lose) of life.六、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for thelift doors to shut. But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete scam(骗局), at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“Perceived (能够感知的)control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “having a lack of control is associated with depression.”Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for t his same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats(温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are awar e of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said. “Even though I have r eal doubts about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”【1】What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?A．To analyze the functions of fake buttonsB．To describe some different kinds of fake buttonsC．To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttonsD．To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons【2】In America, the “close” buttons on lifts .A．are fake for the convenience of disabled peopleB．work only when people press them hard for a whileC．were specially designed to give people a sense of controlD．cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case【3】The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 6 refers to .A．making people more patientB．giving people perceived controlC．helping people to build up confidenceD．making people with depression feel better【4】According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons .A．should give up this habitB．probably do so to kill timeC．consider what they do to be meaninglessD．don’t know that what they press is fake3.The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet productsmay not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.【1】From Paragraph 1, we learn that .A．diet products fail to bring out people's potentialB．people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC．diet products are misleading peopleD．people are fed up with diet products【2】One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to .A．try out a variety of diet foodsB．hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC．pay attention to their own eating habitsD．watch their weight rather than their diet【3】In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means .A．losing weight is effortlessB．it costs a lot to lose weightC．diet products bring no painD．diet products are free from calories【4】Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .A．are over-consumedB．lack basic nutrientsC．are short of chemicalsD．provide too much energy4.In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his while! Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”Oh that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an em ployee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel cle rk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ”Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.【1】In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to .A．make a comparison B．introduce a topicC．describe a scene D．offer an argument【2】In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was .A．friendly B．warm-heartedC．not considerate D．not helpful【3】From “Dreams of head-cutting!” in Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .A．was mad at the sales agentB．was reminded of the cruel pharaohC．wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD．dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night【4】What is the main idea of the text?A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communicationB．Helping others sincerely is the key to business successC．Receiving bad news requires great courageD．Learning ancient traditions can be useful二、其他Everyone can benefit a lot from reading books. The following is about the various benefits of reading books. 【1】Whenever you read something, you learn information that you otherwise wouldn’t have known. It can be a fact about history or a theory you didn’t know existed. If you want to learn new words, reading books is a great way to enlarge your vocabulary.【2】Similar to solving puzzles, reading books allows your mind to practice its processing skills. Going without books for too long will turn your mind into a whirl(混乱).One of the primary benefits of reading books is its ability to develop your critical thinking skills.【3】Wherever you are faced with a similar problem in real life, your mind is able to put its mystery-solving skills to a test.One of the real benefits of reading books is that the information in it can be accessed over and over again. For example, reading a cookbook allows you the luxury of reviewing the procedures whenever you need to.【4】Don’t even think about writing the information d own because you may lose the paper you wrote down on sooner or later.These are just some of the wonderful benefits of reading books.【5】If you can’t even go outside, you can download free e-books on line and read them on your computer. That way, you can set how advantageous reading can be for yourself.A．Reading books keeps your mind activeB．You can improve your memory by readingC．Reading books provides you with new knowledgeD．Following a recipe from a cooking show will be difficultE. Reading mystery novels, for example, sharpens your mindF. Reading keeps your mind in good conditionG. Why don’t you drop by the bookstore or library and pick a book up三、完形填空I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti.

Providing interesting games.BEver since Earth formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago, its climate has gone through a number of incredible changes.All you have to do is look at images of the Jurassic Period (侏罗纪时期) to know that at one time, much of our planet was covered in extremely hot and humid jungle. Skip ahead a couple million years and you get to an ice age event, when global temperature experienced a huge drop. Whilemany species were not able to deal with these changing climate patterns, others successfully adapted, and some are even still with us today. Now, as humanity pushes the planet closer to another extreme climate event, scientists are eager to find out how the world's species will react. The idea was highlighted in a study published on April 6 in the journal PNAS, which showed that between 1970 and 2010, open water species such as lobsters and fish had declined by about half in tropical marine zones across the globe because over the 40-year time period, sea temperatures in those regions had risen by roughly 0. 2°C.The lower numbers aren't a sign of all the sea creatures dying off though. In fact, the scientists found some of them outside of their traditional habitats, meaning that if a species can migrate to cooler waters and adapt in a new environment, they will.However, those movements aren’t always a good thing; species that can' t move, such as coral, which is fixed to the seabed, rely on the fish and other sea creatures to contribute to the natural food chain and stay healthy. Additionally, when a non- native species moves into a new area, it threatens to disrupt the ecosystem that already exists there.Depending on the species, it can take anywhere from one generation to thousands and thousands of years to properly adapt, so the changes that have occurred in just the last 40 years are very troubling for scientists. As Sebastian Ferse, an ecologist at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, Germany, explained, “In geological history, this has occurred in the blink of an eye. To see such changes occurring so rapidly is something quite alarming.4. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Global temperature experienced a huge drop during Jurassic Period.B. Most species were able to deal with the changing climate patterns.C. Some species that adapted to the climate changes survived.D. Much of our planet was covered in humid jungle during ice age event.5. How did some sea creatures survived climate changes according to the scientists?A. By changing their food chain.B. By moving to other places and adapted.C. By adjusting their own temperature.D. By human beings' protecting.6. What does the underlined word “disrupt”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. ImproveB. BalanceC.EstablishD. Disturb7. Which word best describes scientists' attitudes to the migration of species?A. NegativeB. OptimisticC. ObjectiveD. IndifferentCIf you've ever had a dog, you know just how deep a connection you can develop with “man's best friend”. But a dog's life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heart-breaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price —around ￡63,000.But if you can't afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date.However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the om. “The spots on a Dalmatian (斑点狗) clone will be different, for example”Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University, UK, told The Telegraph.riginal one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between the Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all. Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”8. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?A. Making copies of pet dogs.B. Giving pet dogs identical twinsC. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.D. Helping dog owners love their dogs more.9. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?a. An egg is taken from another dog.b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.A. a→d→b→e→cB. a→e→b→d→cC. b→a→d→e→cD. b→a→e→d→c.10. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?A. It has not been put into practice until recently.B. It is very popular among US and UK pet owners.C. It might not give the owners an exactly same dog.D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.11. What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning?A. He disagrees with it.B. He supports it.C. He is curious about it.D. He thinks it unbelievable.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with your point of view. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing people that she is an honest source. For example, a speaker can develop ethos by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you would be more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a firefighter. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing people that she is a good person who has their best interests at heart.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with a listener’s emotions. For example, a speaker trying to convince people to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill them with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, a charity organization that helps animals might show pictures of injured dogs and cats, intended to fill the viewers with pity. If they feel bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other information to make your argument more convincing. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have data to support your claims.For example, a commercial for soap might tell you that lab tests have shown that their soap kills all 7,000,000 of the bacteria living on your hands right now. It is more convincing than simply saying “our soap is the best！”Use of logos can also increase a speaker’s ethos.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when they are used together. The next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend trying to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.12. When a speaker tries to move people to tears, the tool of persuasion used by him is ________.A. ethosB. logosC. strengthsD. pathos13. ________ is used by the writer in developing the three tools of persuasion.A. Argument-comparisonsB. Detail-exampleC. Argument-exampleD. General-detail14. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?A. A speaker can use misleading information to convince you to trust his argument.B. A listener is likely to trust a speaker who uses evidence to support his argument.C. Logos is believed to be a better tool of persuasion compared with that of ethos.D. A person is more easily persuaded by facts than simple moving words said.15. Doing persuasion, the author probably favors the most effective tool of ________.A. a good combination of ethos, pathos and logosB. pathos because people are emotionally persuadedC. logos because use of logos can also increase ethosD. ethos because it is a speaker's way of convincing people第二节（共5个小题；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 news report.(B )On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are. There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines arethe best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.25. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.B. There are many windows in the wooden house.C.

To share the joy of living in the nature.(C)Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station（ISS. ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through Private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2020, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing (冲浪)" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.29．What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Find.B. Copy.C. Change.D. Lose.30. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS ?A. They are caring and thoughtB. They are patient and careful.C. They are impatient and annoyedD. They are excited and curious.31. In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts .A. get more pleasure in space than on the EarthB. find living in space a bit boring and tiringC. regard space life as commonD. love to see the Earth from space32 .The passage mainly discusses how astronauts .A. work for longer missions in spaceB. connect with people on the EarthC. observe the Earth from spaceD. spend their free time in space(D)Decision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices inpredictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under s tress.”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and dodifficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress－at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.33. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively34. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.A. preference for pleasureB. ways of making choicesC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions35. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending.After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away, satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted.4.A good title for this passage is ________.A.A Clever AssistantB．Buying a Birthday PresentC．How to Choose a NecklaceD．A Brave Young Man5. When James told the assistant why he wanted to buy a present, his face ________.A. turned paleB. turned redC. turned yellowD. turned black6. James and Laura reached the shop at ________.A．4:30 B．5:00 C．5:30 D．6:007. James would come back to buy what he wanted because_________.A. the necklace was goodB. Laura liked the necklaceC. the assistant who served James was very beautifulD. the assistant knew how to satisfy the people who came to buy thingsCI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting annoyed, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he be focused while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be objects of stares.Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality features, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids and their ways of doing things. This way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being individuals. It makes us happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live life.8.According to the passage, the author tried to keep his son seated so that ________.A.he could finish his homework on timeB.he couldn’t bother the authorC.he could pay more attention to his studyD.he could keep silent in the room9. Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.A. the importance of parentsB. the old form of education methodsC. the relationship between kids and their parentsD. the good grades of some kids10. In the past, what kinds of children are unlovable?A. Those who are active and loud.B. Those who are obedient and calm.C. Those who are talkative and humorous.D. Those who are shy and careful.11. What does the author think of teaching children?A. Encouragement is important.B. A fine example is necessary in the school.C. Children shouldn’t be punished.D. Children can not be taught in the same way.DHow fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and fun,” Serval says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Ser val would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market.12．All of the following statements are wrong except ____________.A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.B. It can track users’ school performance.C. It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist.D. It can help users find their phones.13．What can we learn from S erval’s words in Paragraph 3?A. You will find it meaningful to see a dentist.B. You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every d ay.14. What does the underlined sentence mean? ___________A. You can use the toothbrush to update mobile phones.B. You can play games by using the tooth brush .C. Brushing teeth can kill some bacteria(细菌) in the mouth.D. Brushing teeth helps to play games better.15. What can we infer about Serval’s children?A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth.B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
