2016届高三英语试卷第I卷第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略笫二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A\B\C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn his new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey's Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated（截）below the knee.Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, "TheOne-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3",explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a "stubborn" patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor."It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, 'You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, "' Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. "Tap dancers-they're always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, " he said. Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won't shy away from the physical "weakness" his performance shows because of his condition."A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, 'You're such a role model and an inspiration, ' "he said. "I'm honored when people say that, of course, but I'm just trying to get on with my life."21. What makes Ruggiero's new show unusual?A. One-legged dance.B. His own artworks.C. The use of instrument.D. Songs of pop standard.22. According to the passage, it is true thatA. Ruggiero is a tough person with a strong willB. the setback has ended Ruggiero's dance careerC. Ruggiero is dancing relying on others' supportD. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying23. When audience attend his performance, they may noticeA. Ruggiero plays piano, sings and dancesB. Ruggiero is a dancer with the help of a peg legC. there are many tap dancers in the performanceD. Ruggiero pretends to be a physically normal person24. What's the author's attitude to Evan?A. WorryB. SympathyC. EncouragementD. PityBFour Must-See Route 66( 66号公路) AttractionsThe United States is full of odd roadside attractions. Route 66 is home to some of the oldest and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road:1. Paul Bunyan and a Hot DogRoute 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants(巨人) right along the road. These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s. Many of them stood in front of service stations. They held carparts, such as mufflers. The collection of Route 66 giants became known as "Muffler Men". Businesses hoped the strange statues would get travelers' attention.The first fiberglass giant was a "Paul Bunyan" figure, built in the early 1960s. It's said that Paul Bunyan is a famous wood worker.2. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica RayCrown Candy Kitchen has been serving Route 66 travelers from the very beginning. It is just a few short shop opened more than 100 years ago, and has been making candies and meals ever since.On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, creates unusual sculptures.3. The World's Largest Rocking ChairFanning, Missouri, is home to one of the strangest Route 66 attractions. Just off the road sits an almost 13-meter-tall rocking chair.The structure was completed in 2008 0n the first of April, or April Fool's Day.At one time the chair actually rocked. But officials decided it had to be still to be safe for ever. People are not permitted to climb the chair. We think, however, that it probably happens once ina while when no one is watching.4. Big Texan's Steak ChallengeFew places better represent the common expression "Everything's Bigger in Texas" than the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Since 1960,it has appealed to travelers with big appetites and a big love of beef.It is hard to miss the huge yellow restaurant-or the giant cow statue that sits out front. The cow advertises Big Texan's special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famous: a "free" 72-ounce(英两) or 2-kilogram steak. There is one trick: the steak is only free if you can eat the entire thing in one hour.A special table is in the middle of the restaurant for the daring diners who accept the challenge. Since 1990,more than 9,000 diners have eaten the entire 2-kilogram steak.25.What was considered as "Muffler Men"?A. Hot DogB. Jamaica RayC. Car partsD. Paul Bunyan26.Where will you maybe wait in line on weekends?A. Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog.B. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray.C. The World's Largest Rocking Chair.D. Big Texan's Steak Challenge.27.

It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO), to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March 2016 children of all ages in the UK will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough ( Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they’ve experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes’s Paris For One is a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital --in more ways than one.Adele Geras’s moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer’s widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe,ten years ago -- but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night -- he’s lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.29.What is the main aim of the World Book Day?A. To promote book selling.B. To win authors fame.C. To encourage reading.D. To perfect education.30. If you lack confidence in your reading skills, you will probably avoid reading _____.A. Dead Man TalkingB. Paris For OneC. The LuminariesD. Out In The Dark31.What else do you expect the author to introduce?A. A romance.B. A moving story.C. A horror story.D. A comedy.32.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?A. The Luminaries tells a story of a Booker Prize winner.B. Paris For One tells a story of Nell and Fabien.C. Out In The Dark is a story during World WarⅡ.D Dead Man Talking is a story of Pat and his talkative friend.DTry rubbing (摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called "friction"(摩擦力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石),but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous (磷),a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbingthe end of the match, on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole(底)of a shoe.At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852,the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the match head-it was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.33.Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood?A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight.B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well.C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat.D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match.34.What did the chemists make the match of in 1827?A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves.B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper.C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper.D. Phosphorous , sandpaper and flint.35. If we used the safety match, we could seeA. loose matches could catch fire fiercelyB. phosphorous wasn't needed inside matchboxesC. there were matches and sandpaper in matchboxesD. the special surface containing sandpaper and phosphorous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。

葫芦岛第一高级中学课外拓展卷高二英语（二)命题人：高红军I．阅读理解No matter how well you understand a foreign language，misunderstanding still exists between native speakers and you. Here is such an example.Three young Frenchmen were travelling in Britain。
Though they had taken a few English lessons before their holiday，they were often in trouble because of their misunderstanding of English. One day they talked about their misfortunes (不幸) together.The first Frenchman said，“I once heard someone shout ‘Look out’，I put my head out of a window and a bucket （一桶) of water fell on me.”The second Frenchman said, “I was once in a ship and heard the captain shouted, ‘All hands on decks (甲板）' I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them."The third Frenchman said, “I onc e called early on an English friend and the maid （女佣) who came to the door said, ‘He’s not up yet’ When I went again for him，she said，‘He’s not down yet’. I said，‘If he's not up and he’s not down，where is he？’ She said，‘He’s still upstairs now. When I told you he was not up I meant he had not got up yet，so he has not come downstairs by now' ”1．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A. Misunderstanding of EnglishB.

辽宁省葫芦岛市第一高级中学2015-2016学年高二下学期英语周测(16.6.30)试题缺答案
高二英语周测试题命题人：杜新第一部分阅读理解The Leaning Tower of Pisa was straight like a pole when the construction began in 1173. It started to shift direction soon after construction because of poor foundation in addition to the loose layer of subsoil (底土）. At the beginning，it leaned to the southeast before the shaky foundation started to shift leaning towards the southwest. After the period of structural strengthening at the beginning of the 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees。
In 178，the shift in direction was observed for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor。
The tower was very heavy for the three-meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land.For compensation (补偿) the leaning position，the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caused the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual structure led to the tower being actually curved。

It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病). It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3 ,000 cakes a week.They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal, balanced diet, but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake” and full of energy.And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it’s right. No problem there, says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for t hem. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says：“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”21.From the passage, what do we know about the author?A. The author runs a bakery.B. The author hates sweet taste.C. The author is on a diet .D. The author’s daughter had diabetes.22. What did the Burts do after heari ng the doctor’s advice?A. They were shocked.B. They went too far about it.C. They used half a ton of sugar a week.D. They avoided sugar completely.23. From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook .A. to make up to 3 ,000 cakes a weekB. to taste a recipe to know if it’s rightC. to get lots of people offering to taste the cakesD. to selling more delicious products24. What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean?A. It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny.B. There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.C. Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.D. Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.七选五Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.1. 25Different people may interpret “success” in different ways：some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 26 Don’t worry about what other peopl e think but come after what makes you happy.2. Do not believe anything without questioning it.27 They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.3.

Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything.B. Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.C. Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.D. As far as we all know, it’s impossible to please all the people who surround us.E. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can’t be predicted.F.

2015-2016学年辽宁葫芦岛一中高二下期初摸底考试英语卷解析版
2015-2016学年辽宁葫芦岛一中高二下期初摸底考试英语卷解析版一、阅读理解Back in the days when I wrote my first songs, I hated my voice.I saw myself as a songwriter and guitarist but never a singer!I continued to write songs,and to search for the perfect singer. After a few years I did discover a singer, so we started a project together.We held a few concerts, and put a lot of work into it. She forces me to sing some songs at concerts myself,so I started going to a bar to practice them. This was my first,small breakthrough.One day she came round to my flat and informed me that she could no longer work with me,and also that the bar owner at the open mic venue(麦克风场地) had replaced us at short notice because some New York jazz star happened to be in town, and was available that evening to perform.The first bit of news made me sad and disappointed, but the second made me angry.However, that same evening, with as much determination as I could muster (集合),I resolved to play three new songs at the bar, just as I had planned before.I was quite nervous, but I dragged myself down to the bar and sang those songs! I never felt so liberated(无拘束的). That night I couldn’t get to sleep. I was simply astonished, hardly believing that I was a person who acted so courageously, and that I’d been able to sing m y songs myself.Since then I’ve begun to encourage others to adopt a similar approach when they aren’t able to see their own potential.One example is an amateur fiddler (小提琴手) who could barely bring herself to lift her instrument to play in front ofpeople.I forced her to ignore her fear, and simply get on with it. Now, a year or two later, she is a passionate,happy performer in front of any crowd!Once you get the ball rolling in yourself, you can start inspiring those around you.1、What was the author’s f irst breakthrough?A、She found the perfect singer.B、She started a project with her partner.C、She started to practice songs at a bar.D、She was able to sing all of her songs.2、How did the author feel when she heard that her partner could no longer work with her?A、Sad and disappointed.B、Sad and angry.C、Disappointed and angry.D、Astonished and angry.3、The amateur fiddler is mentioned in the last but one paragraph in order to show that the author ________.A、has a good relationship with her.B、encourages others to see their potential.C、can perform in front of any crowd.D、is very interested in making friends.4、What’s the passage mainly about?A、How to work with other singers.B、The story of the author and an amateur fiddler.C、How the author became a singer through her fighting spirit.D、How to write beautiful songs.Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of a loved one.It may be hard to believe at first, but finally you can use this experience as your advantage—to find another, perhaps even better job, to strengthen your relationship with your family, and to make some much-needed changes in your life. Here are three essential steps.Step1 Get emotional support. Because it’s easy to feel uneasy and vulnerable （脆弱), turning to others is the key to making a smooth transition(过渡). You’ll need people who will listen and provide a safe place for you to cry, or to express your fears and concerns.Don’t go it alone. It takes courage to ask for help, and yet, help may be what you need most to move forward.Step2 Seek professional guidance. Getting assistance from a recruiter（招聘人员) or career adviser will not only help you value your experience and improve your skills, it also will ensure that you put your best foot forward. Once again, your local unemployment office should have helpful resources.If possible, try not to let fear cause you to grab the first new job y ou’re offered (unless it’s the right one). Give yourself time to explore different choices.Step3 Consolidate family ties. Meet with family members to openly discuss your feelings. Listen carefully without interrupting one another, and give everyone a turn to speak. When a man I know did this with his family, his wife agreed to leave the job search planning to him and his outplacement adviser. In turn, he agreed to keep her informed about the process on a weekly basis. When you keep the lines of communication open, you can build stronger relationships.Once you’ve got a new job, create your own security. Keep your resume up-to-date, stay in touch with recruiters about the job market, and constantly improve your skills to stay marketable in your field.Although being laid-off can turn your life upside down, many people say that it gave them push they needed to start a new life!1、What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A、To ask the family for help.B、To stay in touch with recruiters in your field.C、To deal with the hurt from losing a job.D、To keep your resume up-to-date.2、The underlined title “Consolidate family ties” probably means“________”.A、find another better job for your family.B、strengthen your relationship with your family.C、make some much-needed changes in your family.D、create your own security to your family.3、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A、Losing a job is stressful but is not so painful as the loss of a loved one.B、Turning to others is the main key to obtaining deepest sympathy.C、Asking for a career adviser will help you and improve your skills.D、Keeping the lines of communication open can end your relationships.4、We can infer from the passage that the author is most likely to ____________.A、be a life coach.B、be a keeper of family ties.C、memorize his or her loved one.D、work in an employment agency.They may be small, and unable to have an adult conversation, but babies are proving their collective cleverness.While your baby still might not be able to speak, he or she knows about you’re feeling down. Babies as young as 5 months of age can distinguish an exciting tune from a sad one, according to a study published in 20xx in the journal Neuron.Speaking of music, it seems that babies can’t resist it. Not only are their ears sensitive to the beats, babies can actually dance in time to them, according to a study published in 20xx. To test their dancing ability, the researchers playedrecordings of classical music and speech to them, and videotaped the results. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs, feet, and heads much more in response to the music than to speech. The findings suggest this dancing ability is innate(天生的.) in humans.Babies can apparently learn even while asleep. As newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping, this newfound ability might be crucial(至关重要的) for them to adapt rapidly to the world around them, and help ensure survival, the researchers say. The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Deciding whether another person is helpful or harmful is crucial in choosing friends —and that ability starts being visible early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6– and 10–month–olds some anthropomorphized(人格化的) shapes, in which one shape helped another climb a hill, while a third shaped pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which shape they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper shapes. This character–judging ability could be the first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin says.1、What does the third paragraph mainly say?A、Babies are born to dance.B、Babies prefer classical music.C、Babies love listening to music.D、Babies can tell different tunes apart.2、What can be inferred from the passage?A、Babies can understand emotions.B、Babies value friendship very much.C、It’s hard for babies to adapt to the world around them.D、Babies show no reaction to speech.3、Kiley Hamlin found that babies ________.A、love to make friends.B、learn nothing while asleep.C、can tell right from wrong.D、like watching anthropomorphized shows.The Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间) trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully(恐吓) other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.“It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but st ill affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.1、Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A、At the teacher’s office.B、At the net bar.C、At the classroom.D、At home.2、The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean ________.A、some educators are in favor of students’ using soci al networking sitesB、some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sitesC、some educators can’t connect social networking sites easilyD、some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites3、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A、The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.B、There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C、Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D、Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question.4、What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A、Lessons Online?B、Friendship Online?C、Dangers Online?D、Information Online?【2015-2016学年辽宁葫芦岛一中高二下期初摸底考试英语卷解析版】。

周末高二英语拓展卷出题人：郭春凤阅读：In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration(含量)of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装)it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products—as well as management of the resulting waste—all result in greenhouse gas release. ”Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start—for instance ,buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, wouldthey reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your television?From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.58. By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that.A .the weight of e-goods is rather smallB. e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC. natural minerals contain more precious metalsD. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste59. The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended.A. from producers to governmentsB. from governments to producersC. from individuals to distributorsD. from distributors to governments60. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The increase in e-waste.B. The creation of e-waste.C. The seriousness of e-waste.D. The management of e-waste.完型：My fiancé(未婚夫)and I were excited about shopping for our first home.

辽宁省葫芦岛市第一高级中学等五校高二英语6月联考试卷(含解析)
2015-2016学年度下学期省五校高二6月考试英语试题时间：100分钟满分：150分第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）AHow would you describe Quincy Jones? Is he an instrumentalist, a composer, an arranger, or a producer? None of these labels can sum up this remarkable man. He has been known for years to people who follow popular music. But his part in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across America project made him a national figure.In addition to these successful efforts, Jones has written the music for many cartoon movies, including The Color Purple, which won 11 Oscar nominations(提名). He also wrote the music for Alex Haley’s Roots, a greatly successful television mini—series. These achievements show his many-sided genius.Quincy Jones was born on March 14, 1973, in Chicago’s South Side. Ten years later, his family moved to the Seattle area. It was there that he met Ray Charles, who was three years older than ones and who in time would be a world-famous singer. The young musicians performed at small clubs and wedd ings. Through Charles’s influence, Jones began composing.When Jones was only 15, his musical talent impressed Lionel Hampton, who invited him to join the Hampton band. Jones was ready to quit school to join, but Hampton’s wife, Gladys, stated her disagreement. Believing that he needed an education, she removed him from the band’s bus. “Get that child out of here,” she yelled, “Let him finish school.”These experiences made Quincy Jones more determined than ever to success. He finished high school, attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship, and finally did Lionel Hampton’s band. Soon, however, he struck off on his own. The future beckoned(召唤) brightly.1. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A. Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton and Quincy Jones became very close friends.B. Lionel Hampton played an important rule in the success of Quincy Jones.C. A college education is very important and necessary in modern music.D. Quincy Jones had a very lucky, fruitful and successful musical career.2. Which of the following made Quincy Jones become famous all over the country?A. His role in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across America program.B. His music for the cartoon film The Color Purple which won 11 Oscar nominations.C. His meeting with Ray Charles and their performances at small clubs and weddings.D. His education in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which is world-class.3. Whose opinion played an important role in Jones’s s chool education and college education?A. Alex Haley’sB. Lionel Hampton’sC. Ray Charles’sD. Hampton’s wife’s4. Insisting that Quincy Jones get off the bus, Gladys Hampton was actually very _____.A. professionalB. cruelC. kindD. selfish．BAdvertising actually has a dual(双重的)function：to sell，as well as to inform．If you stop to think of it，advertisements(ads)provide information of almost everything in our household and immediate environment，from shampoo to fuel for cars．An obvious purpose is to inform consumers of new products and services as well as to remind them of established ones．Performance，price，value for money，quality and reliability are some of the main features mentioned in ads．Yet there is another important side of advertising that should not be forgotten：choice．A number of ads for different brands of the same product，e．g．toothpaste，shampoo or washing powder allow the consumer to choose．Choice is an important part of buying．In this busy day and age，there is little time for comparison shopping．To determine which product is the best to buy，and at the most competitive price，consumers these days rely on advertising in its various forms．This saves time and energy and makes shopping easier．Few can deny that ads benefit the consumer since they encourage healthy competition．When companies compete for the consumer’s dollar，this is good for the purchaser of the product or service．Advertising tends to increase competition since it informs consumers of what is available．One company’s offer will be either matched or bettered by another company in its advertising．It was unheard of ten years ago to buy products directly using a personal computer，but it has become a matter of course for some people to browse(浏览)the Internet，surf until they find an e commerce site and then select the product．Marketing products has been almost turned upside down by new ways of selling and buying．More than at any time in history，the choice of goods is unlimited．The whole world is a customer’s marketplace．For busy people like you and me，advertisements actually do us a favor．5．What the writer of this passage wants to tell us most is that—————————． A．advertisements benefit busy people in many waysB advertisements encourage more business competitionsC advertisements provide main features of new productsD selling and informing are two functions of advertising6．Which is least discussed in the passage as, one of the important sides of advertising?A．To inform consumers of new products and services．B To provide consumers with chances to choose．C To increase healthy competition of companies．D To change the way of selling and buying．7．The“comparison shopping”refers to the behavior of．A．comparing and buying a product at the lowest priceB．comparing and deciding which is the best to buyC．relying on advertising and simplifying shoppingD．buying a product at the least competitive price8．Healthy competition benefits consumers because—————————．A it helps companies to compete for the marketB．it gets companies to improve their servicesC．it provides them with the best products and servicesD．it gives them many chances to choose their productsCEnglish Teacher NeededWe are one of the biggest English Teacher agency in China, we refer lots of foreign teacher/employee to university or company daily．We provide this service to teacher for free．What you need to do is log on our website ．com．cn and register, we will put your resume（简历） on Chinese website except contact details．There are thousand potential clients who will view your information daily, once they choose you we will contact with you．For any more details you also can send email to admin@languageteaching．com．cnPart Time English Tutor wantedWe are looking for a part time English teacher, the teacher should come from U．S．A, Canada, UK, New Zealand or Australia．We would like to have 2 lessons a week, 2 hours each lesson．Please send me your Resume with photo if you are interested, email: admin@languageteaching．com．cnPrivate English Tutor WantedSenior Chinese manager is looking for a one-on-one English tutor for several hours per week．He would like to learn British pronunciation, so UK nationals will be preferred．Tutors should be fairly flexible to suit his busy schedule and be of professional appearance．Pay is to be discussed directly and will be very high for the right candidate．Teaching experience is not a must．If interested, please send an email with your background information, pay expectations and a recent picture to dhanyatk@hotmail．com．CALLING – Teacher/Librarian!We are a small Kindergarten to Grade 6 international school in Beijing．We need a teacher/ librarian．The teacher we are looking for will: -

But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something ,while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits .Unlike the average art museum visitors ,design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled .This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do ,and how design has improved the quality of our lives .Art museum exhibits ,on the other hand ,would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding.In recent years ,several new design museums have opened their door ,Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas .London’s Design Museum ,for example ,shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins .The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums ,and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.13．Showcases in design museums are different from store windows becausethey .A．show more technologically advanced productsB．help increase the sales of productsC．show why the products have sold wellD．attract more people than store windows do14．The author believes that most design museum visitors .A．do not admire mass-produced productsB．are puzzled with technological exhibitsC．dislike exhibits in art museumsD．know the exhibits very well15．The choices open to design museums .A．are not as strict as those to art museumsB．are not aimed to interest the publicC．may fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsD．often contain precious exhibits第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二英语周测试题命题人：杜新第一部分阅读理解AMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者）jog, they don’t run th e streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river。
But despite this，our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失)。
I spent my boyhood climbing trees。
These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD --—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19％; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood。

She gave me one of her hour-long 25 . It was a total 26 , but among other things, I vaguely 27 her telling me that I didn't need to worry about him. She said, “Good deeds beget（产生）good results, 28 evil deeds beget bad results.” I told her, in a nice w ay, that I thought she was right. I told her that I did good things all the time, and all I got 29 was a strike in the stomach. She stuck to her opinions, 30 .It 31 me 30 years to understand the 32 of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday, I 33 and took her out to dinner. We drove to a nearby simple little restaurant. I 34 pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food arrived and as I dug in, I noticed that Nana wasn't eating. She was just staring at the food on her plate. 35 my plate aside, I took Nana’s and cut her meat into small pieces. I then placed the plate back. 36 she very weakly, and with great difficulty, forked the meat into her mouth, I was struck with a(n) 37 that brought instant tears to my eyes.

Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred （憎恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much thatencourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).51. According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ______.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. brought about only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred52. The underlined word “disallowed”(in Paragraph 2) means “______”.A. permitted to passB. considered as reasonableC. won by the other sideD. refused to accept53. What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federatio n are finished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should break up.54. The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show ______.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen are often against the final decisionsC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games55. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.四.单句语法填空1．I think________impresses me about his painting is the colours he uses.2．As John Lennon once said, life is________happens to you while you are busy making other plans.3．________struck me most in the movie was the father's deep love for his son.4．________you said at the meeting describes a bright future for the company.5．Scientists study________human brains work to make computers.6．I'd like to start my own business—that's________I'd do if I had the money.7．I am afraid he's more of a talker than a doer, which is________he never finishes anything. 8．The notice came around two in the afternoon________the meeting would be postponed. 9．________is well known to the world is that China has very top technology in space industry. 10．________the players didn't have a good rest shouldn't be an excuse for losing the game. 11．Children of this age should be reminded of________they should do in public places. 12．________it is happiness or sorrow, it would finally become memories of life.13．The famous scientist has been working hard since childhood.

Here are some of the common fallacies(谬论) about losing weight.Myth1. ___1____: We are all brainwashed into thinking that losing weight or dieting means eating tiny portions. But it’s not true., because some foods contain a lot more calories than others. For example, one small cake can be higher in calories than a whole plateful of chicken, potatoes and vegetables. ____2___. However, by choosing foods which are low in calories (and taking regular exercise) we can often lose weight WITHOUT eating less. In fact, sometimes se can actually eat MORE.Myth2. We can lose Weight from Special Parts of Our Body : Nonsense. When we start a weight loss plan, our body burns fat from all available fat stores, not justfrom particular parts. ___3___. If a diet claims to help you lose weight from your waist only., don’t believe it.!Myth3. Late Night Eating Leads to Weight Gain: Our body metabolizes (代谢) food in the same way, ___4___. It’s not WHEN you eat that counts ----it’s WHAT you eat. So although eating high-calorie foods like cookies, ice cream and cakes in front of the TV can lead to weight gain, this is because of the high-calorie nature of the foods, not because it’s late in the evening.Myth4. People are Overweight Because They Don’t Exercise：___5___.However, in view of the fact that you need to walk 80 kilometers (50 miles ) to lose 1 pound of fat, it’s clear that exercise ( or lack of it ) does not have a big direct influence on our weight. Over-reliance on exercise alone for weight loss is not a good idea. The single biggest cause of obesity is bad eating habits.A.whether it’s midday or midnight.ck of exercise is a contributory factor to a general rise in weight.C.Losing weight means eating fewer calories than we needD.One important factor is where we carry our excess weightE.according to our metabolic rateF.We can’t control this processG.Losing Weight Means Eating Small Portions阅读理解For generations, students were taught to stretch before playing games. Then the practice fell out of favor. Studies seemed to show that such stretching temporarily reduces muscular power, weakens athletic performance and increases the risk of injury. So most fitness experts currently advise against stretches before exercise. But nowa new research indicates that they might not be such a bad idea after all.This month, the journal, Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism (APNM), published a study by four distinguished exercise scientists who analyzed more than 200 studies of how stretching affects the following exercise. In broad terms, they found that stretching can briefly prevent the ability to generate power. So if you reach for your toes and hold that position, tightening your hamstrings(腿筋), might not then be able to leap as high or start a dash as forcefully as you don’t stretch.Those undesirable effects were generally found, however, only if each stretch was held for more than 60 seconds and the subject then immediately became fully active, with no further warm-up. “Outside the lab, most people are unlikely to hold a warm-up stretch for longer than about 30 seconds.” Dr McHugh, the co-author of the study says. The review found few lasting negative impacts from these short stretches, especially if the volunteers followed that stretching with several minutes of jogging or other basic warm-up movements. In fact, these short stretches turned out to have a positive effect.Doing these findings mean that all the athletes should stretch in advance before a match? “Not necessarily,”Dr McHugh says, “Runners and cyclists don’t have much risk for acute muscle injuries.” Stretching before these activities is unlikely to protect against injury. Runners and cyclists can adequately warm up by jogging or pedaling lightly. But he suggests that people who play basketball and other ball sports should stretch in advance. Those who haven’t stretched since childhood gym class might want to consider consulting an athletic trainer about the best upper and lower body stretches, particularly for the shoulders and hamstrings.1. Which of the following statements agrees with most fitness experts?A. Before playing a game you should stretch your legs and arms.B. After attending a match you should stretch your legs and arms.C. It’s harmful to stretch your legs and arms before playing games.D. it doesn’t matter whether you stretch or not before playing games.2.According to the new research, people may suffer negative impacts when ___________.A. they do stretches after attending a gameB. they reach for toes and hold that positionC. following a stretch with several minutes’ joggingD. dashing immediately after one 60-second plus stretch.3.We can learn from the passage that ___________.A. all athletes should not stretch in advanceB. the four scientists published the journal APNMC. it’s unnecessary for a tennis player to do warm-up stretchesD. players ought to have done warm-up stretches since childhood4.What’s Dr. McHugh’s attitude toward stretches?A. criticalB. objectiveC. disapprovingD. suspicious语法填空A survey ___1___ (conduct) recently among students on ___2___ it is OK to have children stars in entertainment programs. The opinions __3___(sharp) divide the students.45 percent of the students surveyed thought it OK as the little stars have chances ____4____(show) themselves. The audience can talk to them face to face instead of seeing them ___5___ the screen. More people come to know them and the programs help them develop ___6___ skills in the communication.55 percent of those surveyed , however, thought it ___7___(appropriate) to have small children in the program. They are too young to be exposed to ___8___ large group of audience, which may make them feel scared. It is not good for the development of their characters.In my opinion, stars ___9___ they are, they are still young . They should enjoy the happy ___10___(child) that belongs to them. I t is a good idea to leave them alone.改错When a student told Katie that he wanted bike but couldn’t afford to buy it, she decided to make his dream come true. And she even took the whole school under consideration. At the school that she worked, a lot of students were poor. But Katiethought own their own bikes would make wonderfully memories for every child. To earn money for hundreds of new bike, Katie launched an online page, and finally raise enough money to pay for them. Katie was surprised the kids by announcing a gift over a loudspeaker at school. “Joy is the basic childhood right,” She said. “A bike is one of the top things that represents that.”。

In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists me asured this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes(染色体), calledtelomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres—in cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeks—at ages 5 and 10.Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to ten years earlier than their peers.Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.1. The new study found that ________.A. hardship can c hange a child’s agingB. violence leaves scars on a child’s mindC. violence can speed up a child’s agingD. hardship has a long term effect on a child’s mind2. According to the text, telomeres ________.A. are at the ends of people’s chromosome sB. can help prevent DNA from separatingC. can make a cell die quicklyD. become shorter before they die3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Violence can cause quick cell division in children’s body.B. Researchers mea sured the children’s telomeres from their legs in the study.C. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Vio lence Aging Children’s DNAB. Children’s Changing DNA PatternsC. Violence and TelomeresD. The Function of Telomeres三．七选五How to get motivatedYou must think positively no matter how big a challenge is. If you think positively you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life. Furthermore, meet an optimistic person and you will notice how motivated he is towards life. 1 on the other hand, negative thinking will only cause more depression in your life.2 Don’t be jeal ous of those who are successful around you. Instead, take inspiration from their success stories. This will make you motivated to get what you want. Moreover, you can also read books that are written by inspirational and successful personalities.There i s a famous quote that reads, “A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.” If your mind is healthy you will think positively. 3 Whether you are working out in the gym or going for a long walk, make sure that you incorporate an exercise plan in your daily routine.4 Hence, it is important to break your routine and do something different.
