英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Better known by his stage name Kun，Cai Xukun is，without a doubt，one of the most popular stars in China．On July 26，the 21-year-old dropped his new single Young．Within just 20 seconds，it reached 1 million views and in only 3 days topped the music charts of Tencent's QQ music．Cai wrote the song by himself to share his understanding of modern-day youth．The singer has mixed R&B with electronic music to make his new beat cheerful．One reviewer wrote on QQ Music："When you listen to the song，you just seem to go back to youth again．"August 2 is Cai's birthday，and the song was a gift to himself．The singer hopes that he can always have the courage to follow his love of music，ignoring what anyone says．"My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them．I want every piece of my work to have my own spirit in it．I feel more enjoyment when I am performing my own work．" He told the Global Times．To find new inspiration，Kun attends different kinds of musical performances-from festivals to opera houses．"I just like to do everything，all for my music，all for my art，" he told i-D．With talent and dedication（专注）to music，Cai is expected by many to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry．1. What do we know about KUN's newest single？______A. It has earned two millionsales．B. It makes people feel energetic．C. It is a birthday gift to a friend of his．D. It combines jazz and electronic music．2. What can we learn from KUN's words？______A. He gains great satisfaction from creating music．B. He prefers singing songs to writing them．C. He wants his every piece of work liked by everyone．D. He is preparing another new single．3. Which of the following would best describe KUN？______A. Courageous and patientB. Talented and humorousC. Hardworking and creativeD. Optimistic and generousPeople in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years，with an increasing number of old people living alone．Japan is on a fast track to "ultra-age" with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2017；it was 26.7 percent in 2015．On the other hand，the number of births in 2017 fell to its lowest （about 941，000）since records began in 1899．Demand for care services for elderly people has boomed．A shrinking working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly．There is a shortage of state-provided elderly care facilities （养老院），while private ones are expensive．Any elderly people do not have the heart to burden other family members who may not live nearby．So they choose to live alone，and often die alone．The country will be short of 380，000 of health nurses by 2025．The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage．Now about 5，000 nursing homes are testing robots which assist the elderly with a lot of physical issues，even emotional and psychological issues．A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent．Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly by listening to their need，taking care of them and in general making their twilight year （暮年）happy．Japan provides a case study for China，which is too faced with a fast aging population．17.23 million babies were born in China in 2017，about 630，000 fewer than in 2016．people aged 60 accounted for 17.3% of China's population in 2017．With insufficient elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply，China may find it tough to cope with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens．To meet the challenge，the Chinese government should make policy changes，which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider．China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action．4. What do you learn about the old Japanese？______A. More and more Japanese choose to live on their own．B. A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age．C. Most of old Japanese remain active with the help of robots．D. Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population．5. What can be inferred from the passage？______A. The state-provided care facilities in Japan are affordable．B. The family members do not have the heart to support the elderly people．C. By 2025，the Japanese government will have brought in advanced robots to completely replace nurses．D. Robots can make the elderly people more active and independent by providing emotional support to make their twilight year happy．6. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs？______A. Japan has set a good example for China to cope with aging population．B. China is never too late to deal with its aging population．C. China is now faced with a fast aging population．D. Japan's aging population is a timely lesson for China．For years，Chris Scharoun DeForge had a Valentine's Day routine．She celebrated like clockwork with her husband Paul Scharoun DeForge．On Valentine's Day they would go out to eat，maybe at Red Lobster or Olive Garden．They were celebrating each other．But this year's Valentine's Day may be the most unusual one yet．That's because it is their 25th as husband and wife，a landmark that would be significant for most couples but it's extraordinary for the Scharoun DeForges．They were both born with Down syndrome and are believed to be the longest married couple with the condition in the country．At the time of their wedding，some folks believed that people like them didn't have the emotional maturity to be married．Chris，who as a girl used to cut wedding photos from magazines and hang them on her wall knew better．"I looked into his eyes and saw my future，" Chris said about falling in love with Paul when they first met at a dance 30 years ago．Still，they have had their struggles．And the most recent one may be the most monumental （极大的）．This year's Valentine's Day is the first on which they won't be living together．Paul，54，is coping with early stage dementia，an illness that affects many with his condition at a relatively young age．Several months ago，the state moved him into a community residence （住处）with intensive nursing care while Chris still lives in their cozy apartment in Liverpool．Of course Chris doesn't want to be without him．Their family worked hard to keep them together．They even found a new apartment that met the state'sstandards．At first，the state agreed-a huge victory-but Paul's conditionround-the-clock care．The state decided he needed to move to the facility after all．The couple is disappointed but not scared．Chris visits Paul regularly and they spend weekends together．Chris's sister said they had an unconditional and sweet love．7. Why is this year's Valentine's Day special to the Scharoun DeForges？______A. They will go out to eat at Red Lobster．B. Their marriage was believed not to last so long．C. They won't be living together for the first time．D. It is their 25th as a couple despite their Down syndrome．8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "deteriorate"？______A. changeB. betterC. worsenD. switch9. What can we learn from the couple according to the passage？______A. They fell in love with each other at first sight．B. They still can meet each other on a regular basis．C. They had difficulty celebrating Valentine's Day together．D. They moved into a community residence together．10. What may be the best title for the text？______A. Struggles against DownsyndromeB. A love without limitsC. A Valentine's Day's celebrationD.

Old tools from many countries．The text from my friend Lorraine said simply：Fancy a family picnic this weekend？My hands began to sweat；my heart beat hard．I wanted to yell，"No! Why would you suggest that？I thought we were friends!"I hated picnics．My hatred of them began as a child．I always got car-sick and it was hot all the way．Air conditioning in vehicles was pretty much unheard of in 1980s Birmingham，and my mother insisted on having all the windows closed because of the unpleasant smell of gas．We would arrive at some faraway destination，usually a car park with a field attached next to a plant，and unpacktasteless sandwiches，nearly cold sausage rolls and disgusting salads．There were never any toilets，so we had to "go" behind a bush；the memory of being discovered by a random dog-walker still embarrasses me from time to time．My mother sat in a relaxed way on a rug （小毯子）while we girls were playing nearby or maybe lying next to her．But for me this was a time when I suffered a lot．It was frightening to be attacked by ants or spot a dead rabbit in the grass．As an adult I'd avoided all picnics，but this time I couldn't．I just said yes，without letting Lorraine sense my true feeling about them．She is my best friend and sometimes you must make sacrifices for people you like a lot．"I'll bring the food，and you bring the drink，" she said．My ridiculously enthusiastic family and I arrived at the picnic site．My expectations were low．Lorraine and her husband Dave unloaded folding tables，chairs，a table cloth and …a cool box of delicious food mostly purchased from a local deli （熟食店），which does all manner of pre-prepared salads and cold cuts．There was fresh bread，olives，even candles to keep away insects，music，and wine．It was completely delightful．There may have been children playing around too，even if one of them did find a dead bird （told you! ）．I am now a picnic enthusiast and we're planning another．I'm even reading up on picnic recipes for it!4. How did the author feel about Lorraine's suggestion？______A. Excited．B. Ashamed．C. Frightened．D. Embarrassed．5. What did the author say about her childhood picnics？______A. The food was unpleasant．B. She could play with rabbits．C. The destination was crowded．D. She could talk with her mother alone．6. What can we infer about Lorraine and her husband？______A. They are great cooks．B. They have good manners．C. They are animal-friendly people．D. They made careful preparations for the picnic．7. Why did the author write the text？______A. To remember an unforgettable trip．B. To record her memories of family picnics．C. To describe her changed attitude to picnics．D. To express her thanks to her friend Lorraine．Does it make sense for countries to invest billions of dollars in space programs when millions of people in their country are living below the poverty line？Many people ask this question and I almost tire of answering it．Let's talk about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy （DMD）first．This is a terrible disease in which the victims progressively lose the ability to control their body．It affects almost only boys and shows itself when the boys are around age 5．They're wheelchair-bound by age 12，and will be dead before their 30th birthday．There is no cure．However，there are treatments．They're basedon crystalline （晶体）protein structures，whose formation is adversely （不利地）affected by the presence of Earth's constant unidirectional （单一方向的）gravitational field．However，according to a study conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency （JAXA）on the International Space Station （ISS），crystalline protein structures form regularly in microgravity conditions，which allows for targeted drugs designed to "double these boys' life spans （寿命）"．And you want to talk about feeding the hungry？We have space lettuce （生菜）．And it's structurally and nutritionally equivalent to Earth lettuce．Space is pretty much everything there is，which means you can make a lot of lettuce in space．In fact，one of the potential growth markets in lunar colonization（月球殖民）is food trade．Food can be mass produced and sent to Earth to feed the hungry．By the way，as far as I am concerned，as for feeding the hungry，food distribution is the issue rather than food supply．Space exploration is one of the best things that humanity has ever done．8. What do people want to know by asking the question in Paragraph 1？______A. Whether there is a cure for DMD．B. How many people live below the poverty line．C. How much money is spent on space programs．D. Whether space programs benefit people on Earth．9. What can be learned about DMD？______A. It seems to spare girls．B. Its cure lies in the ISS．C. It gets serious in microgravity conditions．D. Its patients need wheelchairs their entire life．10. What is the author's attitude to growing food in space？______A. Doubtful．B. Positive．C. Disapproving．D. Uncaring．11. The text is most probably taken from a ______ ．A. website to buy and sell the newest space productsB. website to ask questions and get quality answersC. legal documentD. science fictionNola （August 21，1974 -November 22，2015）was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido，California．At her death，she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world．The other three lived in Kenya．World Rhino Day，held on September 22，is to raise awareness of the less than 30，000 other rhinos left on Earth．"Rhinos need our help today，not tomorrow，Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy said．"Last year we lost over 1，200 rhinos just in South Africa．If we continue to lose more than 1，000 rhinos a year，in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone．"Unfortunately，most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans，Kennedy says．"Humans have either poached （偷猎）animals，or because there are over seven billion of us，we've taken up too much of the world's resources．" Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns （角）．They sell the horns forthousands of dollars per pound，to be used for art，jewelry，and decorations．Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours．In 1975，the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo，a pro- gram through which researchers have collected cell samples from more than 8，000 different types of animals，including the northern white rhino．Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells，they will get greater understanding of it，and will find ways to increase its numbers．Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as "a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help．" At the San Diego Zoo，children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos．But you don't have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day．It is observed around the world，with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos，and enable them to see the animals up close．For more information，go to www．worldrhinoday．org．12. What do we know about Nola？______A. It was a baby white rhino．B. It was one of the last of its kind．C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya．D.

安徽省桐城市2019-2020学年高二英语考试试题一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Can robots be creative？ British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so． He hopes to begin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da． Meller is watching the building of all Ai-Da's parts by engineers at Engineered Arts， a company based in Cornwall， England． The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand． Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist．After seeing Ai-Da's head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows， Meller said， "She's going to actually be drawing and we're hoping to then build technology for her to paint． " But also as a performing artist， "she'll be able to communicate with audiences and actually get messages across， asking those questions about technology today，" he added．Ai-Da's robotic head may still be separate from her body， but her movements are very alive． Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts． Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room， opening and closing her mouth as you do． If you get too close， the robot will back away， closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock．The specialists are using the company's Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head． Once finished， Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance， with long dark hair and man made skin． The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3-D printer． Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts． He said Mesmer "brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package．"Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibition called "Unsecured Futures" at the University of Oxford． Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later this year．1. How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her？ ______A. Keep still．B. Step back．C. Run away．D. Speak aloud．2. Which of the following is Ai-Da good at？ ______A. Taking care of the old．B. Communicating with persons．C. Doing housework．D. Making up like humans．3. What may be the best title for the text？ ______A. Ai-Da， a Creative RobotB. Meller， a Great EngineerC. Ai-Da Makes Painting EasierD. Meller Helps Robot ClevererAre you wondering whether it's worth going for a little jog？ Don't hesitate，and get your sports shoes on． A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time．In a survey of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark ， the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that running would probably lead to improvements in population health and longevity （长寿）．Thestudies involved 232，149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years．On the whole， people running any distance were related with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not， the study shows． Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular （心血管的）disease and cancer．Previous studies had concluded "inconsistent findings" about whether running could lower the risk of death before the normal time， according to the researchers． Lead researcher Jim White， a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne， told CNN： "Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it．" He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of "lifestyle medicine"． In their paper， which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ， the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous （剧烈的）use of it has been linked with sudden heart death．Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk． However， they did say advice should be given on a case - by - case basis，as running might not be appropriate for everyone． Although running has a clear health benefit， the researchers point out that higher "doses" of running may not reduce the risk of death further． According to the WHO s guidelines， adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week．4. What did the new study focus on？ ______A. The benefit of jog．B. People's lifestyles．C. People's living conditions．D. The popularity of jog．5. What will the study contribute to according to Jim？ ______A. Doctors' quicker treatment．B. People's losing weight．C. People's involvement in running．D. Researchers' promotion of sport．6. What does the underlined word "wary" in paragraph 5 mean？ ______A. Certain．B. Tired．C. Cautious．D. Confident．Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England， a research has found．Fifty-seven percent of stargazers （观星者）struggled to see more than 10 stars，while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30，9 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England （CPRE）． People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation （星座）of Orion， which is visible only in the winter months．Campaigners said the results of the star count， supported by the British Astronomical Association， showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark， starry nightsky． They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government， local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings．Emma Marrington， dark skies campaigner at the CPRE， said "We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count． But it's deeply disap-pointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars． Without any action，our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light，ruining the health of the natural world． "She added： "The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen． Light doesn't respect boundaries， and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities．"She suggested better-designed lighting， street light dimming （暗淡）systems and part- night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution，reduce carbon emissions and save money．7. What effect does the light pollution bring about to England？ ______A. It leads the stars to disappear．B. It makes the countryside dim．C. It makes the environment terrible．D. It prevents the people seeing stars．8. What causes the light pollution according to the text？ ______A. More and more buildings．B. Less and less outdoor activities．C. The overuse of artificial light．D. The spread of light in the countryside．9. How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts？ ______A. Disappointed．B. Surprised．C. Regretful．D. Appreciative．10. What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution？ ______A. Using street lights wisely．B. Turning off lights at night．C. Spreading light further．D. Changing the streets1 design．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)When it comes to helping students learn and mature， there are several ways to increase their well-being． Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom， there are a few things that you still can do．Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do． More and more children do not participate in sports after school． It's important for you to encourage mobility with sports that are played after class． You should find sporting equipment， basketball courts and play areas where kids can increase their well-being．11Secondly， you can provide proper nutrition for your children． It's important for your children to receive proper nutrition both inside and outside of the home．12 You'd better make it a point to provide enough nutrition for their proper development and growth．13 Many parents fail to stop children from using smart phones andcomputers． There are some institutions that even encourage too much screen time as a way to teach children or keep them entertained． You should help the children remain excited without sitting in front of a screen throughout the day．Last but not the least， monitoring bullying （欺凌）is also an essential part． Bullying continues to remain a common problem in some schools， making it important that the environment that your children grow in holds a high standard．14It's important to examine the school life as a whole to determine what factors are missing．15 You may determine how well they adjust to the world around them and succeed in life．A．You should provide kids with fresh food．B．Besides， you'd better limit their screen time．C．It will encourage children to focus on their study．D．In addition， try your best to give them more freedom．E．This will reduce the risk of health conditions that include obesity．F．You can advise teachers to keep a practice of looking for bullying．G．Parents play a significant role in children's growth and well-being．11.

The simple act of kindness really makes a person's day．Chocolate could soon be a thing of the past，after scientists warned that the cacao plant，from which chocolate is made，could be extinct within 32 years．Over half of the world's chocolate comes from just two countries in West Africa-Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana-where the temperature，rain，and humidity provide the perfect conditions for cacao to grow．But the threat of rising temperatures over the next three decades caused by climate change，is expected to result in a loss of water from the ground，which scientists say could upset this balance．According to the related data，a temperature rise of just 2.1℃could spell an end for the chocolate industry worldwide by 2050．Farmers in the region are already considering moving cacao production areas thousands of feet uphill into mountainous area-much of which is currently preserved for wildlife．But a move of this scale could destroy ecosystems that are already under threat from illegal farming and deforestation．Part of the problem，according to Doug Hawkins，is that cacao farming methods have not changed for hundreds of years．"Unlike other tree crops that have benefited from the development of modern，high yielding strains and crop management techniques to realize their genetic potential，more than 90% of the global cocoa crop is produced by small farms with unimproved planting material，" he said．"It means that we could be facing a chocolate decrease of 100，000 tons a year in the next few years．"Now scientists at the University of California at Berkeley have teamed up with American candy company Mars to keep chocolate on the menu．Using the controversial（有争议的）gene-editing technology known as CRISPR they are trying to develop a type of the cacao plant capable of surviving in dryer，warmer climates．If the team's work on the cacao plant is successful，it could remove the need for farmers in West Africa to relocate to higher ground，and perhaps even allow cacao to be grown elsewhere in the world．4. What do we know about chocolate from the text？______A. Chocolate will disappear from the menu 30 years later．B. Chocolate is mainly produced by African countries．C. Chocolate will not be produced by 2050 because of climate change．D. A new type of chocolate will be produced with the help of CRISPR．5. What is the reason for the extinction of the cacao plant？______B. Water shortage caused by climate A. The damaged ecosystem．change．C. The threat from illegalD. The changeable farming method．farming．6. What is the writer's attitude to the application of CRISPR to planting cacao trees？______A. Objective．B. Unconcerned．C. Supportive．D. Negative．A night at the movies is always a good idea．But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped ﹩45 on a ticket and some snacks，you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix．The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was ﹩5.39；now，a ticket is over ﹩9．The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation（通货膨胀）．It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now．A ticket in 1978 cost ﹩2.34．If you plug that into an inflation calculator，the same ticket would cost you ﹩9.46 today．According to the National Association of Theater Owners，the average cost for a ticket today is ﹩9.11．Another reason you need to dip into your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films，such as Netflix，Hulu，and Amazon．And let's be honest，sitting at home on your couch or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater．Because of streaming technology，movie theaters have to do something to bring in customers．Attractions-including alcohol，reclining seats（躺椅），surround sound，and 3-D movies are all examples of that．And those upgrades come at a price，leading to more expensive tickets．"There's all that extra cost，and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible，" Patrick Corcoran，vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners toldMarketplace．"Because you're offering a superb experience-audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology．Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience．"7. According to the passage，what makes movie tickets so expensive？______A. The viewers are wealthier than before．B. The movie theatres offer popcorns，alcohol for free．C. Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before．D. The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price．8. We can learn from the passage that ______ ．A. Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers thantheatresB. comfortable seats ensure movie theatres a distinct advantage over streaming servicesC. the viewers actually pay for the updates of the movie theatresvia more expensive ticketsD. the theater owners and companies update the theaters to win good fame9. Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with？______A. It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater．B. The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to be in line witha wonderful experience．C. It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre．D. The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the couches or inthe beds．10. What is the best title for the text？______A. Behind the Increasing Price of Movie TicketsB. Technological Improvement on Movie TheatresC. The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming ServicesD.

How extreme feelings affect our bodies．Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department．No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve，so the shift（轮班）went to me．I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital．It was a thankless job．At 9 p．m．，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack．His face was pale，and he was frightened．The whole night I did my best to save his life．Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing．It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping．The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again．At 9 p．m．sharp，the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me．When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr．Lee and said，"You probably don't remember me，but last Christmas Eve you saved my life．Thank you for the year you gave me．" He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left．The following year a new doctor had joined the group ， but I wanted to see if Mr ．and Mrs ．Lee would return ． This time ， I volunteered for the shift ． I kept an eye on the door ． Once again ， at exactly 9 p ．m ．， the Lees appeared ， carrying a warmly wrapped bundle ． It was their new grandchild ． Mr ．Lee ， his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together ．The last year I saw him ， he brought me a gift ． I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside ． It was carved with a single word ：Friendship ． Now ， my family ， friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exact 9 p ．m ． and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget ．4. The author had to work the night shift on Christmas Eve probably because ______ ．A. she was more experiencedB. she was a new arrivalC. her colleagues had no passion for workingD. her colleagues wanted to give her a surprise5. What does the author ring the bell every Christmas Eve for ？ ______A. To honor an old friend of hers ．B. To offer best wishes to her family and friends ．C. To show off her special gift ．D. To fill her family and friends with hopes ．6. What could be the best title for the passage ？ ______A. A KindCouple B. A Severe Heart Attack C. A thankless task D. A Special AppointmentAs a child ， visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat ． I didn't find the chimps' tea parties funny ， nor the bird shows entertaining ． Feeding time for seals was less painful ， but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus ．And I hated circuses ， especially the animal acts-men teasing lions ， girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football ． I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural ， achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty ．Happily ， during my lifetime public attitudes and the law havechanged ． Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct ， and zoos have definitely evolved ．When my children were young ， I occasionally took them to our local zoo ． Theelephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors．Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from．But back then，there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced．As a result，environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos．"Animals belong in the wild，" is a common and understandable complaint．But what do the animals themselves prefer？Generally speaking，zoo animals have a longer life．But-you may protest-they are not free．What？Free to be hunted and killed，free to die of hunger or thirst？Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad．Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos，due to the work of BIAZA，the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums．These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval to operate，and the association sets the standards，observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programs，both in the UK and abroad．BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world．Consequently，today，most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos，live in large，comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained，knowledgeable and caring zoo employees．Of course it's no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible．Meanwhile，why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself？7. The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closeddownC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses8. From Paragraph 2，we can guess that the writer believes circus animals ______ ．A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos9. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA？______A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers．B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges．C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations．D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards．10. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with？______A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild．B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past．C. Zoo animals are more restricted now than in the past．D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals．二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!

What was the Marca newspaper's comment on Wu？______A. He lacked self-confidence．B. He had learned a lot from histeammates．C. He surprised people with his ability to adapt．D. He made a mistake when he changed clubs．2. What do we know about Wu when he was a student？______A. He was often absent from class to play soccer．B. did well in both soccer and his studies．C. He was better at sports than other subjects．D. He fell behind in his studies because of playing soccer．3. How does the author feel about Wu's future career？______A. Worried．B. Doubtful．C. Caring．D. Confident．A man in London has become the second known HIV-positive adult to be cleared of the virus that causes the disease AIDS．The man received a stem cell transplant three years ago．He was treated with anti-retroviral （抗逆转录病毒）drugs until about 18 months ago．Now，tests show he has no sign of the HIV virus in his blood．"There is no virus there that we can measure．We can't detect anything，" said Ravindra Gupta，a professor and HIV scientist who played a leading role in treating the man．The patient's name，nationality or age is not public．He is called "the London patient" because he was treated in the British capital．A similar identification was given to the first known person cleared of HIV infection over ten years ago，the "Berlin patient"．Both men experienced a similar treatment．But there was something unusual about the person who gave the London patient stem cells．The giver or donor had a natural resistance to HIV．In other words，something about this person's body made it impossible for him or her to become infected with the HIV virus．As a result，when the London patient received the stem cells，his immune system changed and he developed a natural resistance to HIV，too．Ravindra Gupta notes that the donor's unusual resistance to HIV may not be the only reason the treatment cleared the London patient's infection．He notes that the Berlin patient and the London patient had similar side effects after the treatment．In both cases，the donors' stem cells immediately began to attack the patients' immune cells．This interaction may have helped destroy some of the HIV infection in the patients，Gupta says．Experts who study AIDS say the success of the Berlin patient and the London patient is very important．Their experiences show that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS．But they also warn that a cure has not been found．The blood treatments the Berlin and London patients had have failed in otherpatients．The treatments are also too dangerous，expensive and risky to do for the large number of people who already have the virus that causes AIDS．4. From the example of the two patients，we can learn that HIV virus ______ ．A. shows no sign in people' bloodB. is bound to lead to the disease AIDSC. is mainly treated in the British capitalD. can be cleared with a stem cell transplant5. What was special in the London patient case？______A. His immune system totally broke down．B. No side effects appeared in his treatment．C. He would not be infected with HIV again．D. His treatment was the first case in the world．6. Where does this text probably come from？______A. A science news report．B. A biology textbook．C. A medication guide．D. A science fiction．After moving to the United States，immigrant（移民）groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American，a new study finds．That's one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America．The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being questioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent ofAsian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite．Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same．When their American identity was called into question during a follow-upstudy，Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes，such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches．In that experiment，55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant．Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories，including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat （饱和脂肪）．"People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in，" said Sauna Cheryan，an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington．"If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives，this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health．" Cheryan added．Social pressures，the study concluded，are at the heart of the problem．"In American society today，being American is associated with being white．Americans，who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English，feel that pressure to prove that they're American，" said Cheryan．7. The author wants to show that ______ ．A. most Americans are at the risk of heart diseaseB. more and more Asians enjoy high-calorie snacksC. immigrants tend to eat American junk food to fit inD. all the American people have a bad eating habit8. According to the survey，______ ．A. Asian-Americans care less about their healthB. 25 percent of Americans like junk foodC. immigrants are forced to eat junk foodD. choosing food is related to Asian-Americans' situation9. The underlined word "fare" in Paragraph 3 most probably means " ______ "．A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do10. Which is the best title of the passage？______ ．A. Ridiculous immigrantsB. Risk health to fit inC. American traditional foodsD. Culture affects food choice二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Getting enough iron is of great importance to the body．Iron is needed to help to produce the red blood cells that deliver oxygen to everyone of our bodies' other cells． 11 ，this is why people who are low in red blood cells feel tired all the time．Low iron levels also damage the immune system．12 ：heme iron（血红素铁）and non-heme iron．And it takes less heme iron to meet your daily iron requirement．This is because it's more easily absorbed by the body．Heme iron is only found in animal products such as meat and fish，while non-heme iron can be found in vegetables，particularly dark green leafy vegetables．The body has the ability to store iron．As a result，a deficiency（缺乏）usually doesn't happen overnight．But if people are unable to recover their iron stores in periods of illness， 13 ．Children，the elderly and women of childbearing age are at greatest risk of iron deficiency．In addition，those who never eat meat or fish can be at risk of iron deficiency． 14 ，try to eat foods that are high in vitamin C．vitamin C helps in the absorption（吸收）of non-heme iron．On the contrary，there are some foods that prevent non-heme iron absorption，such as tea andcoffee． 15 ．Moreover，if your iron needs aren't met by your diets，you can take some iron supplements，but you must consult your doctor．A．Both of the two kinds are important．B．then they may become iron deficient．C．Therefore，they shouldn't be taken with meals．D．There are two types of iron．E．It's likely to take too much，which can lead to serious organdamage．F．If iron levels are low，then the body doesn't get enough oxygento work properly．G．To increase the amount of iron absorption11.

People are not interested in how the pioneers traveled and lived．C. It was not easy to deliver the mail to the Wild West in the old time．D. The pioneers and wild cowboys in the old time led an easy life．Up till about 130 years ago，newspapers in the United States attracted only the most serious readers．They used no illustration （插图）and the articles were about politics or business．Two men changed that - Joseph Pulitzer bought the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New YorkJournal．Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883．He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight．He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find．And they did．One of them-a woman reporter，even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital．She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where mad men were kept．In 1895，Hearst came to New York from California．He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World．He also wanted it to be cheaper，so he lowered the price to a penny．Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper headings were bigger than anyone else's．He often says，"Big print makes big news．"Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspapers．For example，Hearst sent Frederic Remington，the famous illustrator，to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War．When he got there，he told Hearst that no fighting was going on，Hearst answered，"You provide the pictures．I'll provide the war．"4.

Two important men changed newspapers greatly ．Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles ．Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37，500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries ．They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa ， Asia and South America ．The pair ，who set off from London ，thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail ． When the tuk-tuk broke ，they were only 70 kilometers from their destination ． They decided to pull it the rest of theway．The tuk-tuk，which weighs 800 kilograms，was pulled in turns by Rich and Nick over three days．On arrival in Chepen，Peru，they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it．The pair were back on the road and aiming for their nextgoal．Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles．They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia．The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path，including the Alps，the Himalayas and the Andes．Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa，Asia and South America．They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today．They joined street children in the slums of Cairo，Khartoum，Kampala，Mumbai and Phnom Penh．They visited Congolese refugees （难民）in camps in Eastern Burundi．They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal．The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust，a U．K．registered charity．Talking bout their motivation，Richard said："The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but，in spite of this pledge （誓言，承诺），over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school；many more are in school，though still cannot access quality learning opportunities．"8. Why did the two teachers travel the world？______A. To support an educationproject．B. To create a new world record．C. To entertain themselves．D. To challenge themselves．9.

The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey．11. Which of the following best describes the two teachers？______A. Curious and brave．B. Humorous and generous．C. Courageous and responsible．D. Efficient and honest．Nobody needs reminding that exercise is good for our health，but we may need reminding that it needs to be done in the right way．Light exercises are a great way to improve circulation and keep our muscles active，especially if the rest of the day will be spent sitting in front of a computer or in a lecture hall．However，certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge．If we go into such sport cold，it can shock our muscles，hearts，lungs，and other organs and cause severe pain or in some cases，even death．Some people are born with medical conditions that go unnoticed until they stress the unstable part of their body．A weak heart may never be seen until we do something that causes extreme physical effort．Recently there have been cases ofpeople dying while running long distances．Also，a university student died after taking a 1.000m running exam．Some universities and high schools have cut long distance races （i．e．3.000m，5，000m）from their campus sports games，partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events．Maybe education about such events is lacking，especially during primary and high school．People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise，especially for a marathon．People shouldn't be forced to participate in events that push them past their limits，especially if they haven't warmed-up completely．Cancelling events could lead to people becoming less healthy and overweight．Maybe these events shouldn't be cancelled，but organizers and participants should be more careful about regular health checks．12. Why does the author write the text？______A. To give us some reminding on exercises．B. To persuade us to take less sports．C. To advise students to have regular exercises．D. To require cancelling long distance running．13. What does the underlined word "cold" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Having trained a lot．B. Without any preparation．C. Having a low temperature．D. In an unfriendly way．14. Why do some universities and schools cancel long distance races？______A. Because no students are willing to enter such events．B. Because the students' physical conditions are too poor tofinish them．C. Because long distance running is not fit for students．D. Because they worry about the supposed danger in suchraces．15. What does the author advise us to do before running a marathon？______A. Have a medical check and warm-up exercises．B. Push ourselves past our limits．C. Participate in it confidently．D. Try to lose some weightfirst．二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共12.5分)Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction．When we eat or drink sugary foods，the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good．16 In this way，it is in fact an addictive drug，one that doctors recommend we all cut down on．"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause，I find my way back to sugar，" says scientist Richard Johnson．One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure，and up to 347 million have diabetes．Why？"17 " says Johnson．Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar．Early humans often had very little food，so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat．In this way，we had energy stored for when there was no food．Buttoday，most people have more than enough． 18So what is the solution？It's obvious that we need to eat lesssugar． 19 From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts，our foods are increasingly filled with it．Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat．But there are those who are fighting back against sugar． 20 Other schools are growing their own food in gardens，or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise．The battle has not yet been lost．A．We take in more energy and fat．B．Then the good feeling goes away，leaving us wanting more．C．Our ancestors were used to poor food，clothing and shelter．D．So the very thing that once saved us，may now be killing us．E．Sugar，we believe，is one of the reasons，if not the major one．F．The trouble is，in today's world，it's extremely difficult to avoid．G．Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit．16.

"It's not looking too good，darling，I think you'd better pack a few things and go to your mother's place．And you'd better take Rosie and Monty with you．"Putting down the phone，Sara sighed．Tomorrow was her husband Tony's birthday．She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprise him with the new mountain bike she'd bought for him．If she went to her mother's house，Tony wouldn't get his present for days．However，her mother's house was the best place to be right now．Being on higher land，it would be safe from the floods．It had been raining heavily for almost two weeks and the river near Sara and Tony's house was rising higher and higher all the time．T ony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing．Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded．Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days．She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty，the cat．It took her a long time，but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed．She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog，Rosie，were waiting．Just as she was reaching for the car keys，Sarah heard a sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug．She looked at the backdoor，water was flowing in underneath．Turning around，she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain and filling the sink．Realizing thatthey were trapped by the flood and it became impossible for her to drive out，quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled onto her back．Calling to Rosie，she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front of the house and out into the front garden，where the car was parked．注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好．Paragraph 1：The water was already up to her knees，and Rosie was swimming beside her．____Paragraph 2：Sara，together with James，Rosie and Monty，was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance．______英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共15小题，共37.5分)【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】B【小题3】C【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】B【小题3】D【小题4】C【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】B【小题3】D【小题4】A二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共12.5分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】E【小题3】D【小题4】F【小题5】G三、完形填空 (本大题共15小题，共15.0分)【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】D【小题4】A【小题5】B 【小题6】C【小题7】A【小题8】B【小题9】C【小题10】D 【小题11】D【小题12】B【小题13】A【小题14】B【小题15】D四、语法填空 (本大题共1小题，共15.0分)【答案】【小题1】mixture【小题2】bored【小题3】taking【小题4】which【小题5】clubs【小题6】and【小题7】an【小题8】are held【小题9】to attend【小题10】successfully五、书面表达 (本大题共2小题，共40.0分)37【答案】Dear John，How are things with you lately？I'm glad to tell you the plan for my winter holiday，which is approaching．（高分句型一）Above all，I have got to finish all the assigned homework and do some sports as well．（学习与锻炼）The most exciting part is to celebrate the traditional Spring Festival by visiting relatives and close friends or even travelling near or far．（春节活动）Besides，I intend to take part in some meaningful volunteering activities organized by the community．（高分句型二）（社会实践活动）Please send an e-mail，sharing your plan for the winter vocation．OK？Looking forward to it!（期望）Yours sincerely，Li Hua38【答案】Paragraph 1：The water was already up to her knees，and Rosie was swimming beside her．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper，Sara ran to the car and opened the doors．（高分句型一）She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it．Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof．James，safely attached to her back，made no sound at all．Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car．It was already half way up the doors，and still rising．（水势增大，Rosie等爬上车顶等待救援）Paragraph 2：Sara，together with James，Rosie and Monty，was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance．We are here．Sara shouted and waved her hands to the boat．Luckily，the boat spotted them at once．They encouraged each other while waiting the boat to approach them．（高分句型二）At last，they were saved．（他们相互鼓励直到救援船来到使他们平安获救）【解析】高分句型：1．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper，Sara ran to the car and opened the doors．知道水很快还会变得更深，Sara跑向汽车打开了车门．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper为现在分词短语做时间状语．2．They encouraged each other while waiting the boat to approach them．他们在等待救援船只靠近的时候一直在相互鼓励着．while引导一个时间状语从句，省略了they were．写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇和句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和句型使文章显得更有档次．特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化．平时除了加强词汇积累，写作联系以外，还可以适当记忆一些类似的范文，这样在考试中可以起到事半功倍的效果．。

How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick's Day in the 17th century？______A. Drinking alcohol．B. Parading in the streets．C. Attending church services peacefully．D. Coloring well-known monuments green．13. What can we learn from the passage？ ______A. Saint Patrick's Day is the most significant day in the US．B.

Saint Patrick's Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today．14. What is the passage mainly about？ ______A. The origin of Saint Patrick's Day．B. The influence of Saint Patrick's Day on the world．C. The celebration of Saint Patrick's Day．D. The role of Saint Patrick's Day in Irish diplomacy．15. What is Cronin's attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick's Day？______A. Unclear．B. Neutral．C. Negative．D. Positive．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables．16 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day．This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time．Allow them to study in blocks of time，such as for half an hour with a fiveminute break in the middle．17 Ideal （理想的）study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner．Never allow your children to study in front of the television，as that will encourage passive activity．18You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study．After you've set up a good study time for little learners，set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing．19 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair．20 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions．The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable．A．Pick a place where your children can study properly．B．Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves．C．Finally，spend time with your kids when they're studying．D．Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too．E．Instead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed．F．Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward．G．One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to．16.

安徽省桐城中学2019-2020学年高二上学期第八次考试英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共15小题，共37.5分)Travelers in America who want to experience the Wild West can now go to a holiday in the old style to see how the American pioneers traveled and lived．Today's travelers go by horse wagon like the old-time．They set up camp at night under the stars and learn to cook their meals over fires．They also learn to lead herds of cattle with present-day cowboys and try to bring wild horses into a corral （畜栏）．For those who just want to pretend half way，the special holidays offer the chance to " rough it" during the day in the wagons but sleep at night in the comfort of fan air-conditioned ranch （牧牛场）complete with swimming pool，sauna and tennis courts．In Wyoming the holiday makers will travel by wagon past ghost towns and cemeteries where pioneers and wild cowboys were buried．The route goes along the same track as the Pony Express riders who braved attacks from Indians and robbers to get the mail through to the Wild West．High Island Ranch in Wyoming at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is also an ideal place to go trout fishing and to ride wild horses．In Colorado，the modern-day pioneers can stay at Randy George's ranch and try their hand at breaking-in horses and branding （打烙印）cattle．In New Mexico there will be a chance to help in driving cattle to their new summer pastures （牧场）．Trips last for a week so those taking part get a chance to get a feel for the Wild West as it really was．1. What is the author's purpose by writing the passage？______A. To reveal the real life of the Wild West in the old time．B. To tell the readers what they should prepare for special holidays．C.

People are not interested in how the pioneers traveled and lived．C. It was not easy to deliver the mail to the Wild West in the old time．D. The pioneers and wild cowboys in the old time led an easy life．Up till about 130 years ago，newspapers in the United States attracted only the most serious readers．They used no illustration （插图）and the articles were about politics or business．Two men changed that - Joseph Pulitzer bought the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal．Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883．He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight．He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find．And they did．One of them-a woman reporter，even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital．She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where mad men were kept．In 1895，Hearst came to New York from California．He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World．He also wanted it to be cheaper，so he lowered the price to a penny．Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper headings were bigger than anyone else's．He often says，"Big print makes big news．"Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspapers．For example，Hearst sent Frederic Remington，the famous illustrator，to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War．When he got there，he told Hearst that no fighting was going on，Hearst answered，"You provide the pictures．I'll provide the war．"4. What kind of news did American newspapers carry 130 years ago？______A. Only serious matters．B. All kinds of exciting news．C. Crimes and mad people ．D. The treatment of patients inhospital ．5. What can we know about the woman reporter in the second paragraph ？ ______A. She helped Joseph Pulitzer buy the New York Journal ．B. She was forced to be mad and was sent to a hospital ．C.

Newspaper owners were fond of crimes and war ．D. Two important men changed newspapers greatly ．Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles ． Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37，500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries ． They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa ， Asia and South America ．The pair ， who set off from London ， thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail ． When the tuk-tuk broke ， they were only 70 kilometers from their destination ． They decided to pull it the rest of theway．The tuk-tuk，which weighs 800 kilograms，was pulled in turns by Rich and Nick over three days．On arrival in Chepen，Peru，they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it．The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal．Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles．They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia．The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path，including the Alps，the Himalayas and the Andes．Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa，Asia and South America．They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today．They joined street children in the slums of Cairo，Khartoum，Kampala，Mumbai and Phnom Penh．They visited Congolese refugees （难民）in camps in Eastern Burundi．They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal．The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust，a U．K．registered charity．Talking bout their motivation，Richard said："The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but，in spite of this pledge （誓言，承诺），over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school；many more are in school，though still cannot access quality learning opportunities．"8.

Efficient and honest．Nobody needs reminding that exercise is good for our health，but we may need reminding that it needs to be done in the right way．Light exercises are a great way to improve circulation and keep our muscles active，especially if the rest of the day will be spent sitting in front of a computer or in a lecture hall．However，certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge．If we go into such sport cold，it can shock our muscles，hearts，lungs，and other organs and cause severe pain or in some cases，even death．Some people are born with medical conditions that go unnoticed until they stress the unstable part of their body．A weak heart may never be seen until we do something that causes extreme physical effort．Recently there have been cases of people dying while running long distances．Also，a university student died after taking a 1.000m running exam．Some universities and high schools have cut long distance races （i．e．3.000m，5，000m）from their campus sports games，partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events．Maybe education about such events is lacking，especially during primary and high school．People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise，especially for a marathon．People shouldn't be forced to participate in events that push them past their limits，especially if they haven't warmed-up completely．Cancelling events could lead to people becoming less healthy and overweight．Maybe these events shouldn't be cancelled，but organizers and participants should be more careful about regular health checks．12. Why does the author write the text？______A. To give us some reminding on exercises．B. To persuade us to take less sports．C. To advise students to have regular exercises．D. To require cancelling long distance running．13. What does the underlined word "cold" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Having trained a lot．B. Without any preparation．C. Having a low temperature．D. In an unfriendly way．14. Why do some universities and schools cancel long distance races？______A. Because no students are willing to enter such events．B. Because the students' physical conditions are too poor tofinish them．C. Because long distance running is not fit for students．D. Because they worry about the supposed danger in suchraces．15. What does the author advise us to do before running a marathon？______A. Have a medical check and warm-up exercises．B. Push ourselves past our limits．C. Participate in it confidently．D. Try to lose some weightfirst．二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共12.5分)Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction．When we eat or drink sugary foods，the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good．16 In this way，it is in fact an addictive drug，one that doctors recommend we all cut down on．"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause，I find my way back to sugar，" says scientist Richard Johnson．One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure，and up to 347 million have diabetes．Why？" 17 " says Johnson．Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar．Early humans often had very little food，so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat．In this way，we had energy stored for when there was no food．Buttoday，most people have more than enough． 18So what is the solution？It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar． 19 From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts，our foods are increasingly filled with it．Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat．But there are those who are fighting back against sugar． 20 Other schools are growing their own food in gardens，or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise．The battle has not yet been lost．A．We take in more energy and fat．B．Then the good feeling goes away，leaving us wanting more．C．Our ancestors were used to poor food，clothing and shelter．D．So the very thing that once saved us，may now be killing us．E．Sugar，we believe，is one of the reasons，if not the major one．F．The trouble is，in today's world，it's extremely difficult to avoid．G．Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit．16.

"It's not looking too good，darling，I think you'd better pack a few things and go to your mother's place．And you'd better take Rosie and Monty with you．"Putting down the phone，Sara sighed．Tomorrow was her husband Tony's birthday．She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprise him with the new mountain bike she'd bought for him．If she went to her mother's house，Tony wouldn't get his present for days．However，her mother's house was the best place to be right now．Being on higher land，it would be safe from the floods．It had been raining heavily for almost two weeks and the river near Sara and Tony's house was rising higher and higher all the time．Tony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing．Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded．Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days．She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty，the cat．It took her a long time，but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed．She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog，Rosie，were waiting．Just as she was reaching for the car keys，Sarah heard a sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug．She looked at the backdoor，water was flowing in underneath．Turning around，she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain and filling the sink．Realizing that they were trapped by the flood and it became impossible for her to drive out，quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled onto her back．Calling to Rosie，she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front of the house and out into the frontgarden，where the car was parked．注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好．Paragraph 1：The water was already up to her knees，and Rosie was swimming beside her．____Paragraph 2：Sara，together with James，Rosie and Monty，was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance．______英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共15小题，共37.5分)【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】B【小题3】C【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】B【小题3】D【小题4】C【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】B【小题3】D【小题4】A二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共12.5分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】E【小题3】D【小题4】F【小题5】G三、完形填空 (本大题共15小题，共15.0分)【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】D【小题4】A【小题5】B 【小题6】C【小题7】A【小题8】B【小题9】C【小题10】D 【小题11】D【小题12】B【小题13】A【小题14】B【小题15】D四、语法填空 (本大题共1小题，共15.0分)【答案】【小题1】mixture【小题2】bored【小题3】taking【小题4】which【小题5】clubs【小题6】and【小题7】an【小题8】are held【小题9】to attend【小题10】successfully五、书面表达 (本大题共2小题，共40.0分)37【答案】Dear John，How are things with you lately？I'm glad to tell you the plan for my winter holiday，which is approaching．（高分句型一）Above all，I have got to finish all the assigned homework and do some sports as well．（学习与锻炼）The most exciting part is to celebrate the traditional Spring Festival by visiting relatives and close friends or even travelling near or far．（春节活动）Besides，I intend to take part in some meaningful volunteering activities organized by the community．（高分句型二）（社会实践活动）Please send an e-mail，sharing your plan for the winter vocation．OK？Looking forward to it!（期望）Yours sincerely，Li Hua38【答案】Paragraph 1：The water was already up to her knees，and Rosie was swimming beside her．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper，Sara ran to the car and opened the doors．（高分句型一）She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it．Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof．James，safely attached to her back，made no sound at all．Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car．It was already half way up the doors，and still rising．（水势增大，Rosie等爬上车顶等待救援）Paragraph 2：Sara，together with James，Rosie and Monty，was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance．We are here．Sara shouted and waved her hands to the boat．Luckily，the boat spotted them at once．They encouraged each other while waiting the boat to approach them．（高分句型二）At last，they were saved．（他们相互鼓励直到救援船来到使他们平安获救）【解析】高分句型：1．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper，Sara ran to the car and opened the doors．知道水很快还会变得更深，Sara跑向汽车打开了车门．Knowing the water would soon be much deeper为现在分词短语做时间状语．2．They encouraged each other while waiting the boat to approach them．他们在等待救援船只靠近的时候一直在相互鼓励着．while引导一个时间状语从句，省略了they were．写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇和句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和句型使文章显得更有档次．特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化．平时除了加强词汇积累，写作联系以外，还可以适当记忆一些类似的范文，这样在考试中可以起到事半功倍的效果．。
