Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible.

Happy? Angry? Calm? etc、Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once、It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time、Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them、Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then e back to them later、Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic、And above all,have fun!( )46、Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A、 T o encourage others to startB、 To record his own progress、C、 To improve his speaking、D、 To pare himself with others、( )47、Which of the following is the most important in learning English?A、Speaking、B、Pleasure、C、Intuition、D、Vocabulary、( )48、It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English、A、body languageB、a good memoryC、a good friendD、a proper dictionary ( )49、Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?A、Practice makes perfect、B、A good beginning is half done、C、Rome is not built in a day、D、Don’t run before you can walk、BBy far the most mon difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work、This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study、 Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment、Few students work to a set timetable 、They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be 、No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others 、There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work 、Many able students state that they work in cycles 、When they bee interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time 、On other days they avoid work pletely 、It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work 、Most people over 25 years of age have bee used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work 、The “tough-minded” school ofworkers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感)、Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”、Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”、Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands、( )50、The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is 、A、changing from one subject to anotherB、the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC、the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD、working on a subject only when one feels like it( )51、Which of the following is true?A、Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable、B、Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable、C、Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable、D、Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally、( )52、The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph4 means 、A、 when they have the energyB、 when they are in the moodC、 when they feel fitD、 when they find conditions suitable( )53、A suitable title for the passage might be 、A、 Attitudes to StudyB、A Study PlanC、 The difficulties of StudyingD、 Study andSelf-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear、We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough、 In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle、It needs exercise、Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children、Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about、The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent、 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent、Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children、 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things、So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did、”or “You a re such a smart child、”( )54、The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________、A、 bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB、 pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC、 great and important; monD、 hopeful and helpful; careless( )55、 A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius、A、 whose parents are cleverB、 often thinking about difficult problemsC、 often helped by his parents and teachersD、 born with a good brain and putting it into active use ( )56、It is better for parents ________、A、 to praise and encourage their children more oftenB、 to be hard on their childrenC、 to leave their children alone with nothing to doD、 to give their children as much help as possible( )57、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A、Parents play an important part in their children’s growth、B、 The less you use your mind the duller you may bee、C、 Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live、D、What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion、DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams、 As we sat before the television set, with oureyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling、When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would e next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths、Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy、 For more than that it provides food for thought、Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will、 A Chinese sa ying goes, “When two petent opponents (比赛得双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win、“This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team、If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──min ded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do、( )58、 While watching the game, we _____、A、 had feelings of different kindB、 enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC、clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’sVolleyball TeamD、 were eager to know what would happen later on( )59、 The wonderful game _____、A、 brought us great joyB、 provided us with food for our thoughtsC、 gave us not only

We’ve been sold an almost-empty box of ice cream!”Dad shouted.It didn’t even cross his mind that there might be another reason.But smart Emily stared directly at Larry and asked,“Can you think of any other reason why the ice cream has disappeared?”Everyone quickly understood her implication. Paragraph2:To my great shock,just when I hesitated to admit it,Larry said,“Yes.I ate it.”My parents looked at Larry with disappointment,not believing that he would do such a thing.He had高二英语（答）—1always been a good boy.Then he apologized.Seeing that Larry’s face reddened and his eyes swelled,I got my lesson and told the truth.My father didn’t get mad about my behavior.Instead,he praised my brother for his kindness and courage,and also praised me for not escaping the blame for what I had done.He then bought another box of ice cream.We ate happily.听力材料Text1W:I’m late for work and my car isn’t working,so I need to find someone to take me to work.M:I can take you.Text2W:I went to a really cool museum with my class yesterday.M:Really?You mean the Nature Museum?W:No,it was the Science Museum,and there was a show of robots.We were supposed to go to the Art Museum,but that got canceled so we did this instead.Text3W:I just came to pick up my plastic container that I lent you the other day.M:Oh,right.Well,I’ve just washed it actually,so here you go.Text4W:John,can you do me a favor in the kitchen?M:At your service.W:I would like half of the chicken cut into slices,and the other half kept.Remember to cut off the fat.Your father doesn’t like the taste.Text5W:Hey,Rex,how are you at cooking?Are you any good?M:Not really if I’m honest.Text6M:What did you do on the weekend,Amy?W:Let me think.Oh,I went shopping on Friday evening and bought some daily necessities for the apartment.M:What did you get?W:Oh,some towels and a new toothbrush.Saturday wasn’t too bad.I went jogging in the morning and went to the gym in the afternoon.But after all that exercise,I was too tired to do anything on Saturday night.M:So how about Sunday?W:It was great!I went out on a date with a really great man that night.Text7W:Slow down,Adam.You’re driving like a mad man.M:I told Greta I’d pick her up at9:45.Her plane lands at9:20.W:Relax.It’s just9o’clock now.There’s plenty of time.M:I suppose so.W:Did you have breakfast yet?M:No.I jumped out of bed this morning and ran out of the front door.I didn’t have time to eat.W:I’ve got an apple in my bag,if you want it.高二英语（答）—2M:Have you got anything else?W:Pens,pencils,a notebook…but nothing to eat.Just the apple,I’m afraid.M:I’ll pick something up at the airport.W:Are you crazy?Food’s always ten times more expensive at the airport.Text8W:How on earth did you fall out of the window?M:I was sitting with my mother in the living room playing with my toys.My sister started crying in the bedroom,and my mom went to take care of her.So I pushed a chair near a window and climbed on top to have a look outside.And while I was standing by the window,my biscuit fell out of my mouth.I tried to catch it,but I lost my balance and fell.W:Oh,my goodness!Do you remember the fall?M:It was all very quick,but I remember lying on the ground with people all around me.And then I saw my mom.She was hopeless,because she thought my head hurt,but all I had was a broken leg.I was very lucky.W:Surely you’re a lucky boy.Be more careful next time.Text9W:Can I help you?M:Yes,my son and daughter bought this pen here for my wife’s birthday,but it doesn’t work,so I’d like to exchange it.W:Let me see.Was it dropped or anything?M:No,but you can see that the point is bent a little bit.W:Yes,it is,isn’t it?We’d be happy to exchange it for you.But I’m afraid we don’t have another purple one.We only have this pen in black or yellow now.M:My wife doesn’t really care for either of those colors.W:We have one with a red leather cover.That’s three dollars more.M:The children worked hard to save up the eleven dollars for this one.They would probably be upset if I paid for part of their present.W:If you want,we can order another pen just like this one.M:That sounds like a good idea.Would you please go ahead and do that?W:We’d be very happy to.It will take a week or ten days.We’ll call you when it comes in.M:Thank you very much.Text10M:May I have your attention,please?Today,I would like to share with you one of my experiences.It happened to me a few years ago.That day after lunch I was on my way to school hurriedly becauseI was afraid that I would be late.Suddenly I hit against an old man carelessly and the books andpapers in my hand dropped onto the ground.It was I that hit against him but I scolded the old man rudely.The man just smiled at me and helped me pick up all the books and papers on the ground.After that he turned round and went away.When I got to my classroom,our class teacher told us that a new teacher would replace him and the new teacher would arrive soon.To my surprise,I found that the new teacher was the man I had run into on my way to school.I believed he would have a rather poor opinion of me but he treated me the same as other students.From my story I learned a lesson that I should be polite to a stranger at any time.参考答案及解析第二部分阅读第一节A【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.（）58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on（）59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement（）60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty（）61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readingswhen you come to important ideas which must be remembered.（）62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C（）63.

It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and (A) explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight.

No mater where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was 2l years old, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after I was 25, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision.And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (视力受损). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind.” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.”It's amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator. 4．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．The right opportunity.B．Losing my sight in the future.C．Consuming too much sugar.D．The children's hospital.5．What happened when the author was 25 years old?A．He gave up painting.B．He went blind badly.C．He injured his left eye.D．He picked up a new hobby.6．What brought a turning point to the author?A．A special program.B．A meaningful performance.C．An inspiring speech.D．An important interview.7．What does the author intend to tell us?A．No pain, no gain.B．Every man has his price.C．Everyone is born equal.D．Stay positive in the face of life's difficulties.Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. took the last bet on Jan. 7. when be became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center.Bennett, 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who’d received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (异种移植), could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient’s body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒).In recent years, however, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they’re easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies. including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited to improve the heart’s condition. Beyond that, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infecthumans or damage the organ itself.This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate. 8．What does the underlined word “run” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Donating his heart to a patient.B．Performing the heart operation.C．Living for 60 days after the operation.D．Receiving a new heart from a pig.9．Which aspect of xenotransplantation does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?A．Its history.B．Its procedure.C．Its consequence.D．Its significance. 10．What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation?A．Their growth rate and health condition.B．Their life pattern and resistance to viruses.C．Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth.D．Their investment value and natural qualities.11．Why was Bennett’s operation regarded as a breakthrough?A．It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection.B．It proved the potential for using organs from various animals.C．It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants.D．It offered a prospect of replacement organs through gene editing.A Dutch company has developed technology to follow the movements and activities of cows. The high-tech system, powered by AI and motion sensors, is called “The Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant.” The company, Connecterra, launched the system in the United States in December after several years of testing and operations in Europe.A device is put around the neck of the cow to record its movements. This information is then processed by a computer that uses AI to learn about the animal’s behavior over time. The system can tell farmers what the cow is doing in real time. This information can help predict when cattle get sick, become less productive or are ready for mating.Richard Watson owns the Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesboro, Georgia. He was one of thefirst American farmers to use the high-tech system.“It can pick up whether the cow is eating, whether it is walking, whether it is drinking, whether it is laying down, standing up.”Watson said the system is a big help because it is impossible for farmers to keep up with the activities of each cow individually. He added that having a computer identify which of his 2,000 cattle need attention could help improve farm productivity by up to 10 percent. He estimates this difference could greatly increase his profits.“Just a 10 percent or five percent increase, or improvement in productivity, means hundreds of thousands of dollars to us, aside from the fact that we just want happier and healthier and more welfare in our animals, anyway.”The founder and head of Connecterra is Yasir Khokhar. He says the idea for the system came while he was living on a dairy farm south of Amsterdam.“It turns out the technology farmers use is really outdated in many aspects,” Khokhar told the Associated Press. He added that most of the technology that does exist is difficult to use. He says modern agriculture greatly needs new technology like this.The company says information about the cows can be collected and seen on a cellphone or other mobile device. A text message can also inform farmers of concerns involving the animals. 12．How does “the Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant” help farmers?A．By giving alarms to farmers.B．By focusing farmers’ attention on cattle.C．By sending real-time information about cows to farmers.D．By telling farmers which cow is less productive or ready to mate.13．What’s Watson’s attitude towards the high-tech system?A．Indifferent.B．Neutral.C．Passive.D．Confident. 14．Why did Khokhar come up with the idea of the high tech system?A．Because he once lived on a diary farm.B．Because some agricultural technologies were out of date.C．Because he wanted to increase the income of farmers.D．Because some farming systems turned out to be a failure.15．What does the passage mainly talks about?A．Modern agriculture in America.B．Ways of raising cows more efficiently.C．A Dutch company known as a high- tech system.D．“Smart Farm” technology tracking behavior of cows.Are you someone who easily gets tired and doesn’t feel like doing anything? Do you label this kind of behavior as mere laziness? 16Feel disconnected from everything.People experiencing exhaustion most commonly don’t feel like themselves anymore, don’t feel engaged by anything and constantly struggle with the sense of helplessness and inability to take back control of their lives.Used to be motivated and passionate.A clear difference between someone who’s worn out and someone who’s lazy is that the tired people used to have things they were passionate about. 17 And even hate doing anything because of how much they overworked themselves.Become moody and annoyed.Do you suddenly find yourself easily angry? 18 If you start to have trouble controlling your emotions, especially when it never used to be a problem for you, this might be the reason why.19One of the warning signs is that you start neglecting your self-care and socially keep away from others. You stop making an effort to dress up yourself or look good and you tend to spend most of your time by yourself doing nothing.Changes happen gradually.Studies show that exhaustion develops in five major stages, according to degrees of severity. The honeymoon phase, the onset of stress, chronic stress, exhaustion and habitual exhaustion. By the time you reach the final stage, exhaustion will make you suffer from depression and anxiety.20A．Ignore your self-care.B．Focus on warning signs.C．Do you often feel emotionally out of control?D．So it’s important to raise awareness about exhaustion.E．But the lazy people don’t ever devote themselves to things.F．However, they may now be struggling to find interest in anything.G．Here are five signs to show you’re experiencing exhaustion rather than laziness.二、完形填空I was then in my early twenties.

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷一、阅读理解The World’s 4 Best Long-distance HikesSeveral new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures arefound.Juliana TrailSlovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail.Red Sea Mountain TrailMainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art.Paparoa Track The 5km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea.Liechtenstein TrailLiechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete.1．Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail?A．To show the beauty of the Italian border.B．To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more.C．To protect the environment of the Julian Alps.D．To promote the development of local economy.2．Which is the shortest trail?A．Juliana Trail.B．Paparoa Track.C．Liechtenstein Trail.D．Red Sea Mountain Trail.3．What is special about LiechtensteinTrail?A．It offers a window into local history.B．Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art.C．Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail.D．It takes visitors through fascinating valleys.Born in 1958 in Nanning, Guangxi, Dr. Huang Danian became interested in geophysics early. His parents, teaching at a local geological institution, passed the passion down to him. In 1978, Huang was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology and later taught there. He once wrote that rejuvenating (使恢复活力) the Chinese nation was their generation’s responsibility.In 1992, he went to Britain for further studies. There, he obtained his doctorate in geophysics and joined a local firm. During his time in the UK, Huang’s heart remained devoted to the motherland, frequently flying back to China to attend academic meetings or seminars related to his field. In 2008, he returned to China with great resolution. For him, no matter how successful he was abroad, the biggest satisfaction would be improving his home country.Upon his return to China, he was entrusted to work at Jilin University as a professor and chief scientist in a branch of China’s biggest deep earth exploration program. Over 400 scientists participated in the program, which aimed to fix high-tech cameras on aircraft, ships, and satellites that would enable scientists to see through the earth’s crust (地壳) without digging into it.For seven years, Huang worked racing against time. Many of his co-workers called him a workaholic while he thought he was more like a “lunatic (疯狂的人)”. “China is in urgent need of ‘lunatics’ if it is to become a stronger country. It would be an honor if I could be one of them,” he added. The lunatic’s madness paid off. He and his team helped China greatly narrow its gap with developed countries in obtaining precise data on deep earth exploration. They created a number of China’s No.1s, filling many technical gaps for China’s sky survey, ground detection, and sea exploration.During his whole life, he sought no fame, and always kept the motherland in mind. As a scientist, he fulfilled his dream of rejuvenating the nation with exceptional achievements. 4．Why did Dr. Huang decide to return and work in China?A．To work at Jilin University.B．To attend academic meetings.C．To devote himself to researching.D．To serve his motherland whole-heartedly.5．What did the deep-earth exploration program focus on?A．Discovering new mineral resources.B．Competing with developed countries.C．Equipping various platforms with cameras.D．Helping scientists explore beneath the earth’s crust.6．What did Huang and his team achieve?A．They won many international awards.B．They got accurate data on deep ocean.C．They attained many firsts in relevant fields.D．They helped China overtake developed countries.7．Which of the following can best describe Dr. Huang?A．Committed and patriotic.B．Enterprising and crazy.C．Sensitive and rigid.D．Single-minded and unreliable.Cyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You picture a team of talented hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or some important severs. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less dangerous.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think hacking victims were clueless abut digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) that can be easily identified, but there are many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a linkto Dropbox, only to download malware (恶意软件) onto your computer, and may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded an infected file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant and protect yourself.So you need to learn to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize suspicious activity on your accounts or devices. While some things may be obvious, such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been leaked. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what programs are running. Check anything suspicious that’s running in the background. That’s often the sign of malware.

This project aims to revolutionize the industry by controlling the power of the ocean depths, resulting in significant energy and land savings. With the potential to match the computational abilities of approximately 6 million conventional personal computers, this underwater data center is ready to be a game-changer.The data center modules of China’s underwater facility are being installed on the seafloor at depths of around 35 meters. Designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions, these modules are expected to operate sustainably for up to 25 years. Each waterproof storage module weighs an impressive 1,300 tons and can process over 4 million high-definition images every 30 seconds.One of the most significant advantages of the underwater data center is the ability to use the natural cooling qualities of seawater. By adopting this innovative approach, the data center is estimated to save a remarkable 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This achievement in energy efficiency emphasizes China’s commitment to sustainability and educing environmental impact.With the initial arrangement of one storage module in April, 2023 and the recent addition of a second module, the project is well underway. The grand plan aims to have a total of 100 modules fully operational by 2025, marking a significant milestone in sustainable data center development.By choosing an underwater data center, China is actively addressing the challenges of land conservation. Traditional data centers often occupy vast amounts of land. In contrast, this underwater marvel takes up minimal dry space, preserving land for other essential purposes. Additionally, the use of natural sate cooling reduces the stress on traditional energy sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. This environmentally conscious approach corresponds with global sustainability goals ad sets an example for the industry to follow. 12．Why is China building the underwater data center?A．To reshape the data center industry.B．To make full use of energy and land.C．To control the power of the ocean depths.D．To improve computers’ computational ability.13．What can be learnt about the underwater data center’s modules?A．They are light and easy to reposition.B．They will be replaced every few years.C．They occupy vast amounts of land and ocean.D．They can sustain operation for long periods.14．What is one impact of using an underwater data center?A．Preventing ocean pollution.B．Worsening the environment.C．Conserving land for other uses.D．Increasing energy consumption. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．National Seawater Cooling SystemB．China’s Initiative to Conserve LandC．Land-Based Energy-Efficient Data CentersD．China’s Commercial Underwater Data CenterThe power of positive thinkingIs your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? 16 Do they focus on the positives (a half-full glass) or the negatives (a half-empty one)? Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.17Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.Learn to think positively.Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20A．Your genes will in turn help obtain it.B．This question makes you lost in thought.C．Why is thinking positively good for you?D．Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.E．Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.F．However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.G．This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.二、完形填空I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard.

It helps us communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. But have you ever stopped to consider the power of words themselves? Words can inspire, motivate, and move people. They can also hurt, confuse, or mislead. The impact of words goes beyond just their literal meanings; they carry emotional weight and can shape how weperceive the world around us.In literature, authors often use specific language choices to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions in their readers. For instance, the choice between using a connotative word versus a denotative one can significantly alter the tone and atmosphere of a piece of writing. Consider the difference between describing a character as ‘nervous’ versus ‘anxious’. Bo th words describe a state of unease, but ‘anxious’ carries a stronger sense of worry and anticipation than ‘nervous’.Moreover, the arrangement of words in a sentence can also affect the reader’s understanding. A well-crafted sentence not only communicates information clearly but also creates rhythm and flow, making the text more engaging. In this way, writers use the power of words to create a connection with their audience, inviting them into the story or argument being presented.1、What is the main idea of the passage?A. Words can only be used to communicate basic information.B. The choice of words has no significant effect on the reader.C. Authors use specific language choices to influence the reader’s emotions and perception.D. Sentences should always be crafted simply to ensure clarity. Answer: C2、Which of the following best describes the relationship between connotative and denotative words according to the passage?A. Connotative words provide a more direct meaning compared to denotative words.B. Denotative words are always more emotionally charged than connotative words.C. There is no difference between connotative and denotative words in terms of emotional impact.D. Connotative words carry emotional implications beyond their dictionary definitions.Answer: D3、How does the author illustrate the importance of sentence structure?A. By stating that sentence structure is irrelevant to the quality of writing.B. By suggesting that sentence structure affects the rhythm and engagement of the text.C. By arguing that complex sentences are preferred over simple ones.D. By claiming that all sentences should follow a strict pattern. Answer: B4、Choose the option that correctly completes the following statement based on the passage: “Authors use the power of words to _____.”A. isolate their audience.B. create a disconnect with their readers.C. form a bond with their audience.D. avoid engaging their readers.Answer: CThis section is designed to test reading comprehension skills including inference, main idea identification, vocabulary in context, and the ability to understand author intent and literary techniques.第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Passage:In the small town of Windmill Hill, there was once a grand old library that had been the heart of the community for over a century.

With just a few clicks, we can connect with people from all over the world, access a vast array of knowledge, and even shop for products without leaving our homes. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One of the most significant challenges is information overload. The sheer volume of data available on the internet can be overwhelming, making it difficult to sift through and find the information we truly need.One solution to this problem is the concept of digital minimalism. Digitalminimalism is a movement that encourages individuals to simplify their digital lives by reducing the amount of time spent on their devices and focusing on the things that truly matter. Advocates of this approach believe that by limiting our exposure to digital distractions, we can improve our productivity, mental health, and overall well-being.The key principles of digital minimalism include:1.Identifying digital distractions: The first step in adopting digital minimalism is to recognize the digital distractions in our lives. These can be social media, endless scrolling, or even email notifications.2.Setting specific goals: Once the distractions have been identified, it’s important to set clear goals for how you want to use your digital devices. This could involve limiting screen time or deleting apps that are not necessary.3.Creating a digital detox: A digital detox involves taking a break from all digital devices for a set period of time. This can help to reset your focus and reduce the urge to constantly check your devices.4.Embracing analog alternatives: Instead of using digital devices for every task, try to find analog alternatives. For example, use a planner instead of digital calendars, or write letters by hand instead of sending emails.5.Regularly reviewing your digital habits: Digital minimalism is not a one-time change but a continuous process. Regularly reviewing your digital habits and making adjustments as needed is crucial for maintaining a minimalist approach.Questions:1.What is one of the main challenges mentioned in the passage related to the internet?A.

While I understand the intentions behind this initiative to foster a sense of community and uniformity among students, I have some concerns and suggestions that I believe would enhance the policy.Firstly, I appreciate the effort to create a more inclusive environment by implementing a uniform policy. However, I believe that the current policy is too restrictive and does not take into account the diverse tastes and preferences of students. Many students have expressed their discomfort with the limited color choices and the lack of individual expression allowed in the current uniform design.One improvement that could be made is to offer a wider range of colors and styles within the uniform guidelines. This would allow students to express their personalities while still maintaining the required level of uniformity. Additionally, I suggest introducing a ‘spirit day’ or ‘theme day’ where students can wear their own clothes once a week to celebrate special occasions or school events.Furthermore, I would like to propose that the school administration consider providing financial assistance to families who may struggle to afford the new uniforms. This would ensure that no student is excluded due to financial constraints.。

But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, 37 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment（尴尬）at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 38 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 39 to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 sometime, ”Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension（压力）of 42 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me43 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 46 it was enough. In that moment, feeling Mother’s 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to 48 . She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear and 51 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions（场合）when I sought 52 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 53 . “It’s a job I can do, though”she said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now whenI passed her door at night and heard her tapping 55 across the paper.

It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships ca n be mended First, don’t’ let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view (观点). And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle (生活方式) change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).56.What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in MakingFriends57.The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _______.A. who has been mistaken for anotherB. who has been blamed unfairlyC. who has treated friends badlyD. who has admitted his mistakes58.According to the text a friendship can last long only if _______.A. we have much in commonB. we know our friends’ mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wiselyD. we have know one another for long59.What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?A. Stick to our own prints of viewB. Avoid making mistakesC. Make an apology firstD. Change our lifestylesBA quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems,in his recent research.The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.60.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B. Because her parents used to quarrel.C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.61.According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.62.The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.A. embarrassmentB. faintC. tirednessD. sadness63. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Family relations.B. The reasons why we get sick.C. Happy family makes you healthy.D. A research about teenagers’ health.CThere has never been a better time to fly Freedom Airlines .Are you planning a vacation this summer ?

Smart readers think before, during and after reading. Here are some tips that may be of some help.Think before you read. Before you read the text, ask yourself the questions that why you are reading it and what you want to get from it. Answering the questions will help you choose what words you need to know and what words you can skip or scan.Think while you are reading. Can you get the meaning of the text without looking up new words in a dictionary? Are there any clues in the text? A text will often give exam ples that may help you understand what some of the words mean. Let’s take the following sentence for example.Many large Russian cities, such as Chelyabinsk and Irkutsk, have taken steps to protect their culture.The words “Chelyabinsk” and “Irkutsk” may be new to us, but the sentence tells us that they are examples of _______.Think after you read.

My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand."My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition."GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!71.

What does the writer think about the term "PK"?A. Fathers can't possibly know it.B. The daughter should understand it.C. Online game players may know it.D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.73.
