AA German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus（马戏团）and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.21. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.22. Why did the Russians say “Be carefu l, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.23. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and IraqBMy son has poliomyelitis (小二麻痹症) and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind oftreatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something[ wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them i n the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the p ressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.29. The author’s son was laughed at by his classmates, because _____________.A. he didn’t do well in his lessonsB. he walked in a strange wayC. he was from a poor familyD. he often burst into tears30. After hearing what the mother said, the son ______________.A. quarreled with his mother and left home angrilyB. went to school unwillingly with speaking anythingC. burst out crying complaining about his bad experienceD. didn’t say anything without eating or sleeping for two days31. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. The boy was brave to face any difficulty after being encouraged by his mother.B. The boy achieve success and was admitted to a famous university.C. The boy finally could walk like a normal child after some treatments.D. The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them32. From the passage we can say that the boy is _________________.A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveCWith the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mailsystem, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications TechnologyB. The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC. The Process of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.A. encouragingB. disappointingC. satisfyingD. embarrassing34. The passage implies that _______________.A. modern technology is bridging the peopleB. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too rapidlyD. modern technology is interrupting our lives35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.C. We can be far away from them forever.D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.DI was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had alwaysmanaged to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son o bey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.27. How did the author’s fat her feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. Relieved第二节（七选五共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others.A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the world’s oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planet’s atmosphere.The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the coming decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planet’s poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters.A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,which haven’t lived in the area for about 40 million years. It’s easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica.A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) thanat normal conditions—which is bad news for the shellfishes they live on.Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warming—along with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destruction—could change once complex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By making comparisons.D.By making classifications.2.What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?A.They are native to Antarctic waters.B.They do harm to the whole ecosystem.C.They’re adaptable to warmer water conditions.D.They threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.3.What will ocean warming likely bring about?A.Promoting the growth of starfish.B.An ecosystem of smaller creatures.C.Different food sources for sea creatures.D.Damaging living places of deep-sea species.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To explain why ocean warming benefit some species.B.To introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.C.To clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.D.To show which creatures will benefit from warmer oceans.7、 The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile labor atory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems."For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver's problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road8、 When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years b efore, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with.

河北省高级中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语寒假作业8Word版含答案

中学2018-2019学年高二年级寒假作业英语学科（第十期）完成时间：2018年2月12日（正月初八）星期二班级学号_______ 学生姓名__________ 家长签字________第一节阅读理解（共7小题；每小题2分，共14分）(A)Stay-at-home or working mom?Nowadays, there is a heated discussion: Which is worthwhile, being a full time working or a stay-at-home mum? Readers share their opinions and you're welcome to add yours.Catherine (China)I love being a stay-at-home mom. In the beginning it was truly rough for me from being a workaholic(工作狂) to staying at home. Yet, I did not want my child to face growing up with both parents at work. So after discussing it with my husband, we decided that I would be the one to stay at home. Now, our daughter is soon to be 3 years old, and has an amazing personality. It's not for everyone but it is very rewarding in the long term.Sassy(Canada)Taking care of children is a temporary job, and children will grow up and leave. The longer women are out of the workplace, the harder it is to enter it. Women need to realize and accept that you do not want to be dependent on anyone for basic food, clothes and shelter. It has been hard to work and take care of my kids but I make it work.Cynthia (US)Some days I think we shouldn't give up on our careers. And some days I'm jealous of the moms who get to stay home or at least work part time. I'm the only one that supports the family,so there will never be an option for me. I have the career and title I've always wanted but now I can't help but think it's at the expense of precious time with my family.Celina (US)Being a stay-at-home mom isn't always easy, but it is worth it! Being there with my children means they are getting the exact love and care I want them to have. We do not have a lot of money, but we've sacrificed to make it possible.21. What can we learn about Catherine?A. She stayed at home because she was tired about her job.B. Her husband agreed with her staying at home.C. Her daughter was very naughty.D. She accustomed herself to staying at home easily.22. How many working moms in this passage?A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 423. Which one is NOT true?A. Celina feels dissatisfied with the life now.B. Cynthia has no other choice but to get a job.C. Sassy is determined to be an independent woman.D. Catherine thinks that being a stay-at-home mom is worthwhile.(B)A Ray of SunshineMy daughter, Fiona, and her family had a beautiful nine-year-old golden retriever, Sunny. Fiona’s in-laws lived in New Zealand and every time the family went over to visit them, we got to mind the dog. Fiona would also leave her bronze Landcruiser at our place, parked right where Sunny could see it, for as long as the dog could check that the car was still there, which he did regularly, he was happy. Sunny knew from past experience that if the car was there, the family would come back. Each time they did, I jokingly told them not to bother picking up Sunny because he was a joy to have around.He was beautiful with the family, and when an unexpected baby came along --- 17 years after her older sister --- Sunny was lovely and gentle with her.In April 2017 we learnt that the family was relocating to New Zealand. Realizing the bond that existed between them and Sunny, I knew they would want to take him. But with limited finances they found it too expensive to take their much-loved dog.So we adopted him.Their car, yet to be sold, was parked at our side gate and Sunny kept watching over it, checking on it each day before going for a walk. I think it was his security blanket. Then, a few months later, when the car was finally sold, poor Sunny had to adjust to losing yet another part of his family.With the car gone, Sunny discovered that cats visit the area and this has held his interest (though not as much as the car!). We’ve had a few prob lems, but Sunny has now settled in very well and is far better trained than any of our previous dogs.Sunny is lovely company and has been a beautiful addition to our family.24.Why did Fiona park her car at her parents’ house every time she went to visit he r relatives in New Zealand? A. Because it was another part of Sunny’s family.B. Because Sunny took great interest in watching it.C. Because it was Sunny’s routine before going for a walk.D. Because to Sunny it meant the family would come back.25. What can we learn from the text?A. Fiona once joked about attending to Sunny.B. The family had two kids with a huge age difference.C. Cats could hold Sunny’s attention as well as the car did.D. The family moved to New Zealand with their beloved dog.26. What does the underlined phrase mean?A. a toy to comfort crying kidsB. something to reduce angerC. a measure to provide protectionD. a blanket to make you feel safe27. Which of the following can best describe Sunny’s charact er?A. loyal and adaptableB. expensive and loyalC. naughty and expensiveD. naughty and adaptable第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）41.

The Vine-like app allows users to produce creative short videos that combine music with mouth shapes or body moves. They can dance, sing, cook or do 63 their hearts desire.64 (launch) in September 2016, Douyin is owned by Zhang Yiming, one of China's top tech leaders; he chairs ByteDance. Similar to how Vine worked 65 a time-limited video platform, Douyin is a 66 (collect) of brief 15-second music videos, mainly focused on young people,67 it's certainly suitable for all ages.On the platform, childish and strange behaviours are 68 (total)acceptable. In high-pressure world, it is no surprise that Douyin has become so successful – all you need to do is pick up your phone and open the app to relieve some stress and have 69 laugh. The app pushes related videos and products based on users' preferences and consequently, Douyin can be quite addictive – many people just want to enjoy a few minutes at first, but end up 70 (consume) several hours' video time.___________ 62. ___________ 63. ___________ 64. ___________ 65.___________ 66.__________ 67. ___________ 68.___________ 69. ___________ 70. ___________ 第四节写作（共两节；满分25分）假如你是李华，带队去英国友好学校进行了两周的交流学习。

2020-2021年高二英语寒假作业第八天

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业第八天一．美文晨读One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bounce back or r eturn to its original position, the word resilience es to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms.Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappymoments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break.二．词汇训练1. His mother works in the school library. She is a l_______.2. I really appreciate your kindness. That is to say, I'm g______ to you for your kindness.3. The two brothers are very much a______. I can't tell them apart.4. I n spite of all my friend’s s_______, I still like him.5. His spoken English is poor. He may fail the o______ examination.6. He picked up a _______ (纽扣) that had e off his shirt.7. The evidence has _______(证实) the first witness' story.8. She ______ (叹息) as she lay back on the bed.9. He was found ________(有罪的).10. When heated, water can turn into ________(水蒸气).三．七选五How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:1 . Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown. “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.”2 To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.3 It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas e and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper.Laugh when you need it most. “ 4 ” says edian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists.Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain –because it es naturally. 5 . Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.A．You can soften the worst blows through humor.B．Mix with people who laugh.C．Practise the art of laughing.D．Keep a laughter file.E．He who laughs last laughs best.F．But it’s also something that has to be developed.G．Peop le’s joy can affect those around them.四．阅读理解According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause， to exist something each of us does daily”．We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to bee aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression，“There is nothing new under the sun”, the creativity is remaking or rebining(重组) the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new bination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing；to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our daytoday activities. 1．Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?A．To prepare for a meal. B．To arrange the furniture in a special way.C．To buy some books from a bookstore. D．To “write” a letter with the puter.2．“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that ________.A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest thingsB．a new thing is only a taleC．we can seldom create new thingsD．we can hardly see really new things in the world3．What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily bee an inventor.D. One may e up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice. 4．The best title for this passage is ________ .A．How to Develop One’s Creativity B．What Is CreativityC．The Importance of Creativity D．Creativity，a Not Faraway ThingBRelations between Frenchspeaking Québécois and the Englishspeaking majority in Canada have been the main ethnic issue of the past 40 years. Supportfor sep aratist parties increased mainly because of the failure of Canada’s other provinces to deal with Québec’s demand to be recognized as a “distinct society(特殊社会)”， with powers to preserve its culture and language from further Anglicization(英语化). Québec’s stil l controversial (有争议的)1977 language law made French the province’s official language.Twothirds of Canada’s population live in the 5% of its land area taking up the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence lowlands. However, Canada’s ethnic mix has changed a lot since the 1970s, due to a move from a restrictive immigration policy to one which weles those with money or skills. Significant numbers of Asians have moved to Canada. The government promotes a policy which encourages each group to maintain its own culture, creati ng a “mosaic” or a “munity of munities”．The largest element of the indigenous population is the one million people of native Amerindian descent, known in Canada as First Nations. There are also 300,000 Métis (FrenchAmerindians) and an Inuit population of some 56,000 in the north. In 1992 the Inuit successfully settled their longstanding land claim, and in 1999 the Nunavut area, with only 27,000 mainly Inuit inhabitants, gained the status of a territory, the first part of Canada to be governed by native Canadians in modern history. A Supreme Court land rights ruling in 1997,establishing the principle of “aboriginal title”, opened the way for the returnof ancestral lands claimed by native Amerindian nations, and in 1998 the federal government formally apologized for their past mistreatment.5. This passage is mainly about ________ .A．Canada’s original population B．Canada’s policy on ethnic affairs C．Canada’s main peoples and ethnic issues D．Canada’s immigration policy6. The underlined word “indigenous” i n the third paragraph probably means________ .A．original B．special C．great D．foreign7. We can infer from the passage that ________ .A．the federal government’s language law made French the province’s official languageB．there was not any ethnic issue in Canada in the past 40 yearsC．other provinces succeeded in dealing with Québec’s demand to be recognized as a “distinct society”D．over half of Canada’s population live in the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence lowlands8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A．Amerindians are the only native population of Canada.B．Québec want to keep their culture and language.C．The federal government didn’t apologize for their past mistreatment. D．The native Amerindians establ ished the principle of “aboriginal title”．9. What do you think has promoted greatly Canada’s ethnic mix?A. Most of its population live in the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence lowlands. B．Some provinces want to be recognized as “distinct societies”．C．Its policy that weles immigrants with money or skills.D．Its strict restrictive immigration policy.五．书面表达出身于贫困家庭、带着妹妹上大学的洪战辉的确把中国感动了。

2016年高二英语寒假作业8

AA German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus（马戏团）and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.21. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B.

We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A.

When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind oftreatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something[ wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them i n the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.29. The author’s son was laughed at by his classmates, because _____________.A. he didn’t do well i n his lessonsB. he walked in a strange wayC. he was from a poor familyD. he often burst into tears30. After hearing what the mother said, the son ______________.A. quarreled with his mother and left home angrilyB. went to school unwillingly with speaking anythingC. burst out crying complaining about his bad experienceD. didn’t say anything without eating or sleeping for two days31. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. The boy was brave to face any difficulty after being encouraged by his mother.B. The boy achieve success and was admitted to a famous university.C. The boy finally could walk like a normal child after some treatments.D. The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them32. From the passage we can say that the boy is _________________.A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveCWith the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new ele ctronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mailsystem, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications TechnologyB. The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC. The Process of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.A. encouragingB. disappointingC. satisfyingD. embarrassing34. The passage implies that _______________.A. modern technology is bridging the peopleB. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too rapidlyD. modern technology is interrupting our lives35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.C. We can be far away from them forever.D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.DI was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had alwaysmanaged to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew m y behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.27. How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. Relieved第二节（七选五共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

My dad and I 21 a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too 22 for a 15-year-old girl and her father.

Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.The Beaches knew 33 about me when they took me in –they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34 his kids.

It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus〔胎儿〕in uterus〔子宫〕at V anderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs〔大腿〕. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the childwas to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse st anding next to me asked, “What happened?〞“The child reached out,〞I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,〞she responded.The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the mos t incredible picture I’ve ever seen.〞【小题1】What may be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing MomentB. A Pitiful FetusC. An Honorable Job as a PhotographerD. An Impressive Surgeon【小题2】In 1999, people believed that it was ________.A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to surviveB. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormalC. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operationD. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation【小题3】From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.A. challenging but successfulB. demanding and unsuccessfulC. simple and shortD. long-lasting and difficult【小题4】The underlined “It〞in paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. the uterusB. the arm of the fetusC. the pictureD. the head of the fetusBMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ―people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters〔使用月票上下班者〕．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2021, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps〞have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app〞, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam〞on your phone screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction〔消遣〕of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in〞to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-books and music are n’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．CI was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch 〔门廊〕, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people.On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that t hey wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer〔除臭剂〕and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being drivenout and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again.Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…〞The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t continue contributing my husband’s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes.All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones.【小题1】What did the author think of the squirrel at first?A．Troublesome. B．Dangerous. C．Interesting. D．Clever. 【小题2】Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?A．She worried about the safety of the squirrel.B．She thought the company charged too much.C．She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.D．She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?A．Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.B．The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.C．The author has developed affection for the squirrel.D．The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.创作人：历恰面日期：2020年1月1日。

First of all,the government should regulate TV violence.It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch.For example,with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip,unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out.Second,parents should monitor what their children watch.At the same time,they should make their children interested in real life activities.Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books,parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago.Moreover,violent incidents occur more frequently inreal life.It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is,and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.1.What experts really worry is that _____.A.children spend too much time watching TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC.children become addicted to TV programsD.children have less time to do their homework2.The author explain how the government should control TV violence by _______.A.giving an exampleB.giving a definitionC.making a comparisonD.presenting research findings3.What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Explain.B.Copy.C.Ignore.D.Avoid.4.What is the author’s purpose for writing th is text?A.To express his own worries about TV violence.B.To ask parents to take good care of their children.C.To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.D.To call on the whole society to save children from violence.7、 Science experiments are a fun way for kids to learn all about science. I will introduce a few great experiments and teach your child all about the wonders of inertia(惯性).Coin ShootYou'll need some coins, at least eleven» and a smooth table. Stack(堆叠)all but one of the coins on the smooth table,making sure that the “high rise” is straight. Coins with wide edges make this experiment easy to do. FlickC#) the extra coin quickly towards the bottom of the stack so that it hits the bottom coin. The bottom coin from the stack should shoot out from under the other coins without changing the rest of the stack. With good aim and quick flicks of your finger, you should be able to shoot all of the coins out of the stack one by one. Because the inertia of the stack of coins is so great, the force from the flicked coin is not enough to make the entire stack move or fall down.The Pencil StandingPlace a narrow piece of paper on a smooth table. Hold the paper so that most of it hangs off the table. Place a pencil on the paper so that it is standing straight. Now, slowly try to pull the paper out from under the pencil. What happens? Set up the paper and pencil again, and give the paper a fast pull. What happens to the pencil this time?Since the still pencil wants to stay at rest, it will be against the fast movement of the paper. This means that when the paper is moved quickly out from under the pencil, the pencil remains standing straight. If the paper is moved slowly, the movement has a chance to influence the pencil, and it will fall down.1.Which of the following is used in both of the two experiments?A.A narrow piece of paper.B.A number of coins.C.A smooth table.D.A new pencil.2.What result can we get if we do the first experiment well?A.The stack of coins falls down on the table.B.The bottom coin is flicked out of the stack.C.All of the coins are taken away from the table.D.All of the coins are shot out of the stack one by one.3.Most of the paper hangs off the table so that ______.A.we can pull it quicklyB.we can take hold of itC.it can influence the pencilD.the pencil can stand straight4.If we pull the paper slowly out from under the pencil, the pencil will __________. A.move slowly with the paperB.stand straight on the tableC.be shot out from the tableD.fall down on the table七选五8、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。

高二英语寒假作业（八）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.Take rubber（橡胶）for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial（商业的）rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.1. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of __________.A. natural rubberB. tropical grassC. man-made materialD. tropical tree2. In the last paragraph the author tries to _________.A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestationB. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forestsC. persuade people to buy something syntheticD. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation3. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is __________.A. puzzlingB. coldC. supportingD. opposedBAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species byMeans of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Charles Darwin’s ideasB. Charles Darwin’s worksC. Father of modern biology: Charles DarwinD. The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin2. Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.A. make him like natural historyB. make him become a doctorC. let him change his hobbiesD. have him give up his collection3. According to th e passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.A. his study at Cambridge UniversityB. his collection of coinsC. the naturalists at CambridgeD. the voyage of the Beagle4. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” pro bably means “_____”.A. they gave monkeys lifeB. they were different from monkeysC. they were developed from monkeysD. they had to live with monkeysCSo great is our passion for doing things for ourselves that we are being increasingly less dependent on specialized labour.No one can plead ignorance（对。
