得夺市安庆阳光实验学校第九天一、美文晨读To give or notWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the wo rld’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, some hold the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losi ng one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.二、词汇训练1. The b________finally brought the war to an end.2.

There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed accounts of national and international news, but most tend to limit themselves to state or city news to attract local readers.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate. Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to give a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American pressserves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals, for example, the Watergate Affair（水门事件）.1. Which newspaper in the U.K. is national?A. Le Monde .B. Washington Post .C. New York Times .D. The Times .2. Most American newspapers attract readers by carrying________.A. national newsB. local newsC. international newsD. political news3. In order to win the competition with television, American newspapers have to______.A. give little informationB. give serious newsC. give entertainment newsD. give national news4. Most daily newspapers attract moderate Americans by_______.A. printing articles by well-known journalists of different viewsB. supporting extremist groupsC. exposing political scandalsD. serving the country wellBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken-belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（缓解）can we discover a new meaning in competition.5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.6. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.7. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means______.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success8. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.9. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.CSteve Jobs made technology fun. The cofounder of Apple died last Wednesday at the age of fiftysix. He had fought for years against cancer. Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.Tim Bajarin, President of Creative Strategies, says, “If you actually look at tech leaders, they’re really happy if they have one hit in their life. Steve Jobs has the AppleⅡ, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.”Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple—in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT. He helped remake Apple froma business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companiesin the world today.Steve Wozniak, speaking on CNN, remembered his longtime friend asa “great visionary and leader” and a “marketing genius”.President Obama said in a statement: “By building one of theplan et’s most successful companies from his garage, he represents the spirit of American creativity. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun.”Professor David Carroll says Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business.“The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really striking. He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so oneof the greats of all time.”Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple’s chief executive in August becauseof his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.10. How long did Steve Jobs work in Apple?A. About 14 years.B. About 9 years.C. About 35 years.D. About 23 years.11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Jobs was an excellent student in college.B. Jobs first left Apple because he wanted to form his own company.C. Jobs once worked as Apple’s chief executive.D. Outside distrust made him leave his post as Apple’s chiefexecutive.12. Choose the correct order of the events that happened to Jobs.①Jobs resigned his position as Apple’s chief executive.②Jobs started his own company NeXT.③Jobs left Apple for the first time.④Jobs died at the age of fiftysix.A. ②③①④B. ③②①④C. ②①④③D.①③②④13.

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn' t we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why”and “how”questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention,”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major.“I never would have dreamed of turning my badexperience during a rain storm into something so meaningful.”Lee is currently negotiating(商谈) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started working out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.(创新) It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.1.By mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are ________________.A.beneficial, though their inventors are less famousB.beneficial, because their inventors are famousC.not useful, because their inventors are less famousD.not useful, though their inventors are famous2.Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.A.add color and variety to students' campus lifeB.prepare students to try their own inventionC.carry out the requirements by Mountain Universityrm students of the windshield wiper's invention3.Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lecturesC.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?7、Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nation’s most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters. “It's stupid because we’ve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it’s the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone.”State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car, which he said wasn’t an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35,000 tickets for using a hand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence.“On the one hand I don’t want to see people crash into each other, but I'm not going to get an ear thing.”38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.A.most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the carB.public transportation in California isn’t developed enoughC.in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phoneD.most of Californians are probably against the new law2.According to John Kobylt,_________.A.all the lawmakers are stupidB.holding the phone is safer than using an earphoneC.it isn’t dangerous to make a phone call while drivingD.it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous3.What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the future?A.He will suggest a law to forbid text messaging while rivingB.He will conduct a new survey among CaliforniansC.He will suggest building more roads in CaliforniaD.He will suggest a law to completely ban cell phones while driving.4.The underlined word “ambivalence”in the last paragraph probably refers to______.A.a positive attitudeB.a negative attitudeC.a confused feelingD.an excited feeling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。

（9）Unit 3 Times change！——高二英语外研版寒假作业一、阅读理解1. We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation(突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they've also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal waters. "They are simply a stranger to the land," said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. "We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders," Dr. Jubilado said. "I could see them actually walking under the sea."In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. "It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population," said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.1.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B.New knowledge of human evolution.C.Recent findings of human origin.D.Significance of food selection.2.Where do the Bajau build their houses?A.In valleys.B.Near rivers.C.On the beach.D.Off the coast.3.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A.They could walk on stilts all day.B.They had a superb way of fishing.C.They could stay long underwater.D.They lived on both land and water.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Bodies Remodeled for a Life at SeaB.Highlanders' Survival SkillsC.Basic Methods of Genetic ResearchD.The World's Best Divers2. Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.1.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A.Freshness.B.Price.C.Safety.D.Variety.2.What is the doctors' suggestion?A.Grow your own food.B.Reduce the use of pesticides.C.Buy large companies' products.D.Make sure the food is clean.3.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A.It is more nutritious.B.It is easier to grow.C.It contains more fat.D.It tastes better.4.Where does this text probably come from?A.A recipe book.B.A health magazine.C.A medical report.D.A chemistry paper.3. Surrounded by the sea off the coast in Mid-Norway, there is an island called Myken. This small island has about ten permanent residents, and for more than 50 years has been supplied with electricity via a 32-kilometre undersea cable (电缆). A break that appeared in the cable last autumn resulted in two months without power, so the island community started looking into a better way of sourcing their electricity."Myken is far out at sea, so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself," says Trude Tokle, who is the project manager of Myken's energy project. "This is why we want Myken to become entirely self-sufficient in energy. It is also important to take the environment into consideration," she says.Many point to the idea that the solution may lie in a hydrogen(氢) plant, specifically tailored for small islands. The "raw materials" for hydrogen production come from nature itself in the form of the sun and wind. Researchers have calculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the undersea cable option. And it is possible to store energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods. This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or external energy sources, even during periods when the sun isn't shining, or the wind isn't blowing.The Myken project has attracted several technology companies. They are currently working on a pilot project. The project involves experiments on the feasibility(可行性) of the hydrogen system in which electricity is generated from solar and wind sources. The electricity can be used immediately, but during periods when all the energy generated is not required, the spare energy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be stored in a tank, and used later to generate electricity. The pilot project will help researchers know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant. Since the island has a distillery(酿酒厂), where the distillation (蒸溜) process relies on energy, a hydrogen plant on Myken offers aneven greater environmental benefit. Spare heat from the hydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process."In Norway alone there are about 300 islands inhabited all year round by small populations," says Kyrre Sundseth, a hydrogen researcher in Norway. "All of these islands may be candidates for using this technology. In global terms we're talking about 10,000 similar islands."1.Why is a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken?A.It is perfect in size for small islands.B.It can send electricity to faraway places.C.It will restore local natural environment.D.It provides green and sustainable energy.2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A.The study on the energy storage.B.The test on the hydrogen system.C.The experiment on the raw materials.D.The research on the innovation of the pilot project.3.According to the passage, a hydrogen plant will ________.A.produce purified seawaterB.prove more effective workC.contribute in more than one wayD.benefit from the distillation process4.What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project?A.Promising.B.Systematic.C.Irreplaceable.D.Time-saving.4. It's lunchtime, and I'm eager to try a new establishment that opened near our office in midtown Manhattan. I walk to the shiny new storefront, place my order and make my way to the counter(柜台) to pay. As I dig into my wallet and start to pull out some cash, the person behind the counter interrupts me. "No cash, please!" says the cashier.These days, establishments that no longer accept cash have increased greatly. It's long been said that "cash is king", but the tendency could be turning in the US. While cash continues to be the most common payment method among consumers, its usage is declining. The use of cash in 2019 dropped by 3 percentage points to 30 percent of all transactions(交易) in just two years, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's 2020 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice. What's more, because cash is most likely to be used in small transactions ($ 10 or less), it accounted for only 9 percent of the total payment value in the same year. The use of cards, at the same time, has held steady, and mobile payments have begun to grow.Nearly cashless societies are already a reality outside the US. In Sweden, cash accounts for only 2 percent of the value of all payments, and total cash in circulation accounts for just 1 percent of Swedish GDP. China, meanwhile, leads the way in mobile payments, recording more than $ 20 trillion in 2019.But should a cashless future be accepted enthusiastically?It's true that not handling cash could allow for an increase in speed and efficiency(效率). Cashless payments, however, have their downside. We might start to see a rise in cybercrimes(网络犯罪), while a cashless society could decrease physical crimes. Critics argue that cashless establishments unfairly affect those who are less likely to have access to noncash payment methods—namely the unbanked/underbanked. According to the Pew Research Center, those in households earning less than $ 30,000 per year are more likely to use cash than those with higher incomes.A cashless society, no doubt, has its advantages, but it can also bring a host of new challenges.1.What problem does the author have at lunchtime?A.He loses his way.B.He forgets to bring cash.C.He fails to have his lunch.D.He is asked not to pay in cash.2.What can we learn about the use of cash in the US in 2019?A.It saw a fall.B.It only happened in small transactions.C.It accounted for 3% of all its transactions.D.It was less frequent than the use of mobile payments.3.Why does the author mention Sweden and China?A.To list the benefits of cashless payments.B.To voice his doubt about cashless societies.C.To show the global spread of cashless societies.D.To show the influence of cashless payments on people's life.4.What is one reason why the author is against a cashless society?A.It is inconvenient for small transactions.B.It puts some people at a disadvantage.C.It puts the underbanked in danger.D.It encourages physical crimes.二、七选五5. In higher education, 21st-century librarians are seeing their roles changing. University library buildings are also taking a new look. However, one thing is clear: ①_________Libraries meet students' new needs digitallyTo support modem research, libraries will need to offer students access to the digital versions of scholarly research. Ringling College of Art and Design set out to create a library that would better provide its students with the services they actually need. ②_________Flexible workspaces③_________ Most commonly, universities are redesigning libraries to make them suitable for collaboration(合作) —meaning open, social spaces where small and large groups can gather and share materials. For example, Norwich University in Vermont decided to create more high-tech collaboration spaces in its library by designing 11 group study rooms that have movable furniture. Modern libraries need digitally well-informed librariansIn today's university culture, librarians should make sure students have solid understanding of the digital resources they are using. ④_________ These and other changes are also influencing the way that universities teach the next generation of library professionals. At the University of Michigan, a new library science program will create education models that help future librarians complete the difficult tasks of supporting researchers.Digital tools give libraries staying power⑤_________ However, university libraries are here to stay. By using digital tools and creating flexible spaces, libraries will continue to be relevant to colleges. In fact, digital tools have made it even easier for libraries to serve students.A. University libraries are here to stay.B. Librarians are going to lose their occupations.C. Libraries are disappearing in this technology age.D. One must-have characteristic, for example, was a 24-hour computer lab.E. For example, librarians can help students get reliable information better.F. Some people predicted that the next generation would witness the death of printed books.G. Changing study habits also give libraries an opportunity to redesign their physical spaces.三、完形填空6.

One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride’s family bring return-gifts to the groom’s family.On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride’s place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red pape r to the br ide’s friends for letting her go. The bride and the gro om then leave for the chapel together.The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple’s imme diate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pi ctures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutti ng ceremony.

But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestio ns.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for tra velling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving y ourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the pl aces you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provi de information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough m oney to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting t he same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Loo k for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activiti es and sights.●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sic k and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some us eful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains －lowest－ and www. Economic－travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel.

The author of the passage advises you ________.A. to go to lesser－known area B. not to visit dangerous placesC. to share costs with any other peopleD. to buy anything y ou want to buyCTeaching PoetryNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginni ng of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading i t aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning al l at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice , on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teach er reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem a loud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t ti me for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is t o have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of lief”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the tea ching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate t his to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thins about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroo m for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.8.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ____ __.analyze it by oneself B. discuss it with othersC. practise reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of p oetry?A. Extending your lifeB. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life10. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply ______.A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other su bject.B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature cours es.D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poe try.11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by______.A. provide equipmentB. build a schoolC. set up a houseD. leave a certain amount of timeDVinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings taste better, and yo u can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resourc e Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vineg ar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean t hat in the future, worries about climate change affecting the w orld’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was m ade after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It w as found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by a dding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped g iving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 da ys, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived , while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be u sed to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with pe ople all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing com panies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping t hirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over th em, Kim said he and his team are working on making the proc ess as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate wi th some farmers, and also some companies, to make a metho d to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who alwa ys forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.What is the article mainly about? .A. The world’s food supply will be increased.B. Plants better survive droughts.C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts.D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.13. It was discovered that acetate can .A. be used by farmers to replace soilB. only be produced b y the ArabidopsisC. help plants survive dry conditionsD. be used to improve poor soil14. What are the target plants of the experiment?A. all breeding species.B. wheat and Arabi dopisis.C. rice and maize.D. rapeseed and Ar abidopisis.15. Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .A. can make people’s trips pleasantB. turned out a worldwide successC. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plantsD. appeals to many flower growing companies二、七选五Avoid Internet Addiction__16__ Many people suffer from addition to the Internet and h ave a hard time paying attention to the important things aroun d them. How can we prevent ourselves from going online too much?Admit you have an addition. __17__ Realize more and more p eople in the world are becoming addicted.

He had been crying. Brian grabbed my hand and said, “Aman da has been in a car 21 .”Every inch of my body went 22 as I realized what he had sai d. My sister was injured. One question sounded over and over in my head 23 could this have happened? Even though she was only 17, Amanda was one of the 24 drivers I knew. I felt shocked and terrified.My brother and I left immediately 25 the hospital my sister w as in. When we arrived, my sister’s face was 26 from the eye brows up and you could see blood everywhere. She was 27 to several machines. My mom and dad stood at her side cryin g.My sister looked 28 at me with blood-filled eyes. In her eyes, where I expected to see 29 , I saw st rength.

I couldn’t move, speak or even cry 33 she was around th e corner. Then the tears came.Though everyone kept telling me she would be all right, something made me 34 . Every moment that passed allowed the 3 5 in my mind to grow bigger. Finally, the doctor walked down the hall and stood quietly in front of us. It was then that the lon g-awaited 36 came. Amanda was going to be okay.My heart leaped as I realized I still had a sister.

We tried to walk across the Unite d States of America. We're not exactly sure 41 we were do ing it. Part of it was to test ourselves; to see if we could face t he challenges. When I was 42 teenager I often daydreame d that I was going to walk across the United States 43 I gr aduated from high school. 44 ，I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my thirties, married,45 (have) a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each46 (pass) year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago，I met Tony, 47 was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. H e wasn't doing it for a cause 48 as part of an organization. He was doing it 49 （simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6 months realizing it could take 50 (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.五、短文改错As the saying goes, chances favored the prepared mind. I lea rned this from one of my experience.I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our sch ool. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Lucki ly, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my la ziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another try out arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.From this, I am firmly convincing that, no matter when chance s arrive, we were able to seize them as long as we get well pr epared.高二寒假作业检测考试试题（英语）参考答案一、阅读理解：1-4 ACDC 5-7 ACA 8-11 CABD 12-15 DCCD二、七选五：16-20 EBGCD三、完形填空21-25 CADBD 26-30 ABACD 31-35 ABDCB 36-40 ADDC四、语法填空 41. why 42. a 43. after 44.

So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started working out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.

But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old. In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the diagnosis that hemight die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said: “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 and then she was definitely brighter than me.”He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers,”he said. “But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”26.

These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs（病菌）or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. "Why are we surprised?" Noonan asked. "As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful."Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.30. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on _______.A. surrounding insectsB. diverse plantsC. eating mineralsD. absorbing air31. What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The caves have been explored since they were formed.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.32. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Scientists discover 50,000-year-old “super life”in Mexico.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.五、七选五【2016年北京高考试题】The Science of Risk——Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking._34__Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _35__ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. _36_No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _37__To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._38__ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well－equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G.

甘肃省天水一中2018-2019学年高二寒假作业检测英语试题 Word版含答案
天水一中2017级2018-2019学年度第一学期寒假作业考试试题（英语）一、阅读理解AIn Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is used in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. The bride’s wedding gown（女礼服）is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes an d envelopes are red and the bride and the groom’s homes are decorated in red on the wedding day.Before the wedding, the married couples from the groom’s family visit the bride’s place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride’s family bring return-gifts to the groom’s family.On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride’s place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red paper to the bride’s friends for letting her go. The bride and the groom then leave for the chapel together.The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple’s immediate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pictures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutting ceremony. A Chinese wedding cake has many layers（层）, and each one represents a step to success for the newly married couples. So couples cut the cake from the bottom describes and provides information on the wedding traditions of the Chinese and around the world. Below are some wedding traditions performed in Italy.1.This passage mainly talks about .A.some Chinese wedding traditionsB. colors in Chinese customsC.wedding ceremonies in ChinaD. preparations for a Chinese wedding2. What does the underlined word “signifies” in the first paragraph mean?A. bringsB. connectsC. meansD. holds3. What do we learn about the traditional Chinese wedding from the passage?A. Both the groom and the bride must wear red clothesB. The bride can not see the groom before the weddingC. The bride serves tea to her birth parents after the wedding ceremonyD. The newly married couples usually cut the wedding cake from the bottom4. What will the passage talk about next?A. Where the couples spend their honeymoonB. Some information on other Chinese traditionsC. How a traditional wedding is performed in ItalyD. How people get married in Italy todayBTravelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enoughmoney for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remembe r medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains－lowest－ and www. Economic－travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.5.This passage is mainly about ________.A.how to plan your travelB. how to travel with enough moneyC. how to make your travel interestingD. how to get life experiences6. Before your trip, the first thing you should do is ________.A. to buy tickets in advanceB. to make a plan of the routeC. to save money by spending lessD. to get information on the Internet7. The author of the passage advises you ________.A. to go to lesser－known areaB. not to visit dangerous placesC. to share costs with any other peopleD. to buy anything you want to buyCTeaching PoetryNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more importantthan “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of lief”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thins about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.8.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ______.A.analyze it by oneselfB. discuss it with othersC. practise reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A. Extending your lifeB. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life10. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply ______.A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by______.A. provide equipmentB. build a schoolC. set up a houseD. leave a certain amount of timeDVinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of foo d will be much lower. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn’t as easy asjust pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.12.What is the article mainly about? .A. The world’s food supply will be increased.B. Plants better survive droughts.C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts.D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.13. It was discovered that acetate can .A. be used by farmers to replace soilB. only be produced by the ArabidopsisC. help plants survive dry conditionsD. be used to improve poor soil14. What are the target plants of the experiment?A. all breeding species.B. wheat and Arabidopisis.C. rice and maize.D. rapeseed and Arabidopisis.15. Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .A. can make people’s trips pleasantB. turned out a worldwide successC. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the pla n tsD. appeals to many flower growing companies二、七选五Avoid Internet Addiction__16__ Many people suffer from addition to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them. How can we prevent ourselves from going online too much?Admit you have an addition. __17__ Realize more and more people in the world are becoming addicted. You are not the only one with this problem.

Get your friends to remind you if you’ve been on a long time.G. Try to reduce the amount of time by 5 minutes each time.三、完形填空I was called into the principal’s office but I had no idea what I had done wrong. When I arrived, my brother Brian was there. He had been crying. Brian grabbed my hand and said, “Amanda has been in a car 21 .”Every inch of my body went 22 as I realized what he had said. My sister was injured. One question sounded over and over in my head 23 could this have happened? Even though she was only 17, Amanda was one of the 24 drivers I knew. I felt shocked and terrified.My brother and I left immediately 25 the hospital my sister was in. When we arrived, my sister’s face was 26 from the eyebrows up and you could see blood everywhere. She was 27 to several machines. My mom and dad stood at her side crying.My sister looked 28 at me with blood-filled eyes. In her eyes, where I expected to see 29 , I saw strength. She said to me, “I love you, Renee.” I suddenly realized how 30 I tell my sister I love her. I tried to 31 her, but she wasn’t listening any more, 32 some doctors were taking her away to the x-ray room.As they wheeled her away I wanted to scream out, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t move, speak or even cry 33 she was around the co rn er. Then the tears came.Though everyone kept telling me she would be all right, something made me 34 . Every moment that passed allowed the 35 in my mind to grow bigger. Finally, the doctor walked down the hall and stood quietly in front of us. It was then that the long-awaited 36 came. Amanda was going to be okay.My heart leaped as I realized I still had a sister. She would need a lot of plastic surgery (整容手术), but she was 37 .A year later, 38 my sister and I quarrel sometimes, every time I see her face and spot the large scar that stretches across it, I remember to tell her that I 39 her.

We tried to walk across the United States of America. We're not exactly sure 41 we were doing it. Part of it was to test ourselves; to see if we could face the challenges. When I was 42 teenager I often daydreamed that I was going to walk across the United States 43 I graduated from high school. 44 ，I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my thirties, married, 45 (have) a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each 46 (pass) year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago，I met Tony, 47 was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. He wasn't doing it for a cause 48 as part of an organization. He was doing it 49 （simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6 months realizing it could take 50 (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.五、短文改错As the saying goes, chances favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.From this, I am firmly convincing that, no matter when chances arrive, we were able to seize them as long as we get well prepared.高二寒假作业检测考试试题（英语）参考答案一、阅读理解：1-4 ACDC 5-7 ACA 8-11 CABD 12-15 DCCD二、七选五：16-20 EBGCD三、完形填空21-25 CADBD 26-30 ABACD 31-35 ABDCB 36-40 ADDC四、语法填空41. why 42. a 43. after 44.

AAn earthquake is a trembling or shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release(释放)of energy stored in the rocks below the surface. Generally, earthquakes last only seconds.Strong ground shaking during a medium（中等的）to large earthquake generally lasts about 10to 30 seconds. Aftershocks（余震）can occur once in a while for weeks or even months.Many people think that there is an “earthquake season” or a kind of “earthquak As a matter of fact, there isn’t. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at time of dayor night. Earthquakes occur under all weather conditions—sunny, wet or cold without anyspecial weather tendency(倾向).Also, you don’t need to worry that the ground will open up and swallow people when earthquakes occur. Open ground cracks may form during an earthquake, for example, to landsliding or ground falling. However, such cracks tend to be open gaps (they don’t that a person could stand in afterwards.The safest place in an earthquake is an open field because buildings and falling objects caninjure or kill you.

"Beer" was the first word that Jack Ma searched for on the InternetIn 1995 Ma made his first trip to the US and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for "beer" and then "China", he saw that no results came up relating to China. He decided to set up a Chinese website—the seed for Alibaba had been sown.2.

Jack Ma learnt English by giving tourists free guides—every day for nine years.Limited resources meant it was difficult to learn English when Ma was young. However,he found that he could learn the language by giving tourists free tours around his hometown of Hangzhou—something that he did during his teenage years every morning for nine years. He found everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents, which opened his mind.4. Jack Ma named his company Alibaba because it's a globally known storyMa simply wanted his company to have a global and interesting name, and realised that Alibaba is a story known across the world and it begins with A, appearing top of lists.The company was founded in 1999 and since then has grown from 15 employees to more than 30,000.

From the passage we can conclude that Ma Yun will______.A. make more profit (利润) abroadB. settle in AmericaC. merge (合并) with other companiesD. expand his business in ChinaCI was quite angry with my professor last week when he gave us an assignment to “tell someone we love them”. It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had adisagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my fatherI loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement,nor did my wife.At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.” My dad responded with a grumpy face, “Now what?” I assured him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed.At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answerthe door. Dad did answer the door. I didn’t waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry.Mom walked by with tears in He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son.” her eyes.Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious. I don’t know if he’ll make it. What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!8. What problem did the author decide to solve?A. His heavy office work load.B.

His unpleasant family gatherings.9.What does the underlined phrase “a grumpy face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. soft tone.B. bad temper.C. good mood.D. great doubt.10.

So don’t wait to do the things you know ought to be done.B. So don’t believe there will be a problem without a solution.C. So don’t complain when your teacher gives you assignments.D. So don’t forget to visit your family even if you are very busy.DThe days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion. They say it could lead to smart phones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe (重击).Michigan State University’s low-cost device, known as a nano generator, has already beenED touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a tested. Scientists’ success fully operated an Lflexible keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggestsaid Nelson Sepulveda, the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion,” associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cellphone foran entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,”Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. Thecompleted device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights waspalm-sized, while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger.Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low -cost could make it a promising andalternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start large device, but when you fold it once again and again, it’s much smaller and has mor Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates powereach time your heel strikes the ground.”Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the powergenerated by the heel strike to, say, a wireless headset..12. The underlined word “device” in the second paragraph probably refers toA. a piece of equipmentB. a special kind of smart phoneC. a touch screenD. a flexible keyboard13. What can we learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage?A. He works as a journalist writing for Nano Energy.B. He plays a major role in the project of the nano generator.C. He invented a type of battery-free smart phone.D. He collects funds for the National Science Foundation.14.

ASleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and the brain grow and develop. However,many Chinese do not sleep well,and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index(指数)on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day---March 21.According to the index,nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well.Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.Ye Jingying,a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren hospital,says:“If people often wake up during the night,or always feel weak and tired in the day,they sho uld pay attention to their sleep pattern.”Many people play with their cell phones or i pads before sleeping.The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep.Other reasons include stress and bad moods.How to sleep well? Above all,get enough sleep.Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult,and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.Forming good sleep habits is important.The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices(数码产品）for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while.Other suggestions include:try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day,even on weekends and during holidays,and do the same relaxing things before bed each night,like listening to soft music.56.According to the passage,World Sleep Day falls on_____.A.March 12B.March 19C.March 31D.March 2157.Which of the following means that you sleep well?A.You feel tired after getting upB.You wake up several times during the night.C.You can fall asleep within 20 minutes.D.You often do something boring until you feel sleepy.58.From the article,Which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems?A.Having sad or angry feelings.B.Reading a book late at night.C.Playing with digital devices before sleeping.D.Being under strong stress about their life or work.BA popular saying goes,“Sticks and stone may break my bone s, but words will never hurt me.”However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someo ne else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually to o embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to our selves out loud is a healthy habit.This self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, th ough, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negat ive. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be qui ck to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time y ou finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying,“Good job !”Often, words come out of our mouths without our thi nking about the effects they will have; but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or we ca n use harsh, critical language, which will most likely cau se the clerk to be defensive. Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Bef ore speaking, we should always ask ourselves:Is it true? I s it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn 't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.Words possess power both positive and negative. Those aroun d us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We ca n offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destr oy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours.64. The author argues in the first paragraph that.A. words have lasting effects on usB. words will never hurt us at allC. positive effects last longer than negative effectsD. negative words may let us down65. Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ou rselves？A. Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.B. Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our h ealth.C. Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problem s.D. It does harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone.66. Which of the following statements would the author agr ee to?A. Unkind words are more likely to be forgotten.B. It is better to think twice before talking to others.C. Words always possess long positive effects.D. Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.67. Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?A. Because kind words build up complex relationships.B. Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.C. Because friendly words cause positive responses.D. Because critical language may hurt your feelings.CToday, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as rosy as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Doesit have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favour. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heartit was the housing market—obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash—that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our falulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes.That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent—and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A 50-50 mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.82. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that ______.A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economyB. home-ownership mainly decides a country’s citizens’ mental health.C. home-ownership has a lot to do with a country’s technological developmentD. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy.83. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is ______.A. the problematic taxing approach favouring house buyingB. people’s desire to avoid their money from devaluingC. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy moneyD. people’s wishes to live in larger and more comfortable houses84. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in Europe.B. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activities.C. Germany’s effective mortgage system saw it through the western economic crisis.D. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off.85. What opinion does the author agree with most?A. People should learn the workings of housing market.B. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses.C. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept.D. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment.DAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A. People seldom work long hours to make money.B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.75. When Daniel was a reporter he _________________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid76. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Child-caring.B. Liz's advice.C. Downshifting.D. Liz's job.77. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means _________.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week.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。

2018_2019学年高二英语上学期寒假作业12word版本
河北省武邑中学2018-2019学年高二英语上学期寒假作业12第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe human beings seem to be facing a crisis (危机). After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk right now.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything”, there’s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, that “something” is our consciousness. “AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions —— Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?”she once said. In other words, computer programs don’t have a choice to say “no”. They probably don’t even know what a “choice” is —— all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. “A machine couldn’t have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. “It’s human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machine——which works by fixed rules only——can't do, at least for now.”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead offocusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably “consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”, he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1 will learn to use each other’s talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we’ll have more time to create, think, and be busy with “being human”.29. What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang?A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.30. What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A. Intelligence.B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules.D. The ability to make choices.31. What does the underlined word “overshadowed”in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Competed withB. Taken control ofC. Been more successful thanD. Influenced32. What could be the future of AI according to the author?A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.BShortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew——family, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents’marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn’t even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security(安全). I will never forget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 a.m., a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby.I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my life——graduations, entering university, getting a good job——I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.33. Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?A. We were waiting for the Chinese men.B. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all.C. It was safe to stay there for night.D. We had no other place to go.34. How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?A. Ashamed.B. Shocked.C. Amused.D. Nervous.35. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.B. It’s the timely help to someone in need that matters.C. It’s a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and t hen hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a precious memory.3.How was the author’s first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.10、On March 17 there will be an explosion of green color across the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something colored green on this day as the color is connected withIreland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to make jokes about the Irish. Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity or their famous thirst for alcohol, or their reputation(名声) for telling tall(untrue) stories. These characteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype (成见) that Irishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.The real joke, however, is that this negative Irish stereotype still exists. The stereotype might have had some truth back in the 19th century when Irish was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine(饥荒), but there they had to compete, occasionally with their fists, for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was onAmerica’s streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting. However, it was far from truth today, with the exception of the drinking perhaps.Today, the Irish are admired for their story telling gifts and musical talents. It is no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of today’s most popular music groups such as singer Enya and rock band U2 are Irish born and growing. Lonely Planet readers even rankedIrelandas the friendliest country in the world.However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is true, their love for drink. Drinking inIrelandis a job, but it’s not necessarily something to criticize. It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers, Guinness.1.What is this reading passage mainly about?A.The Irish festival--- St Patrick's Day.B.How the Irish earned their reputation.C.Jokes about the Irish people.D.Famous Irish stereotype and the truth.2.Which of the following statements does NOT belong to the Irish stereotype?A.Irishwomen are not hot-tempered drinkers.B.Most Irish people are always very lazy.C.Irishmen are good at street fighting.D.Irish people are famous for their stupidity.3.Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from?A.From their everyday behavior towards other people.B.From the behavior of Irish immigrants to the America in the 19th century.C.From the historical records of the 19th century Ireland.D.From most people's impression of the Irish people.4.Which of the following was created by the Irish?A.Tall stories.B.Street fighting winnersC.GuinnessD.Love for drink.七选五11、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。

But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.1.What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.2.What is the modified Ford Fusion?A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.B.A fleet of driverless taxis.C.A road for driverless cars.D.A retirement community.3.What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A.Driverless cars’ disadvantages.ernments’ right decisions.C.Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D.The regulations are forward-thinking.4.What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A.The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B.Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C.The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D.The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.7、Since so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(单词首字母) both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed “LOL” in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BFF”? Exclaimed, “OMG!” d uring a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as “text talk” have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL,” “BPB,” “OMD,” and “BFF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.1.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Social Media and the English LanguageB.The Use of New Internet LanguageC.The Internet and Social MediaD.The Change of the Internet and English2.What is one reason for people’s use of acronyms?A.The decrease of physical and traditional booksB.People’s need for quick response to different messagesC.The lack of peopl e’s interaction with technologiesD.People’s need to meet word limits on social media3.The “new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_________ .A.they are not published in a traditional wayB.they are not used as formal languageC.t hey’ll be replaced by even newer onesD.they are not supported by dictionary writers4.The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages ________.A.have positive influenceB.should be properly usedC.are getting more popularD.are useless for interaction完形填空8、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A, B, C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe temperature of your body should be always just the same, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer （温度计）when your are sick.The body keeps the same temperature all the time ,because it balances the heat it produces and it gives off. It is always burning up food and , producing heat. It can produce heat faster when it needs to give off heat than when it becomes too warm. Let’s see how this happen.The heat of your body is given off mainly through the skin. When you are cold, your skin is tight and shows “good flesh”. When you get chilly, you must dance around to keep warm or else you will shiver. Then your muscles begin to work, burn up fuel, and produce more heat. It is not pleasant to shiver, so you usually prefer to warm up by exercise, or put on more clothes to keep heat in.When you are warm, the skin is loose and soft. It is so supplied with blood that heat is given off rapidly. If you get too warm, you begin to sweat ,and more body heat is used in evaporating the moisture（水蒸气）from your skin. You wear less clothing, too, in warm weather or warm room, so that warm can be given off freely. You feel less like exercising because your body is warm already, and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.You can see from the way you feel differently in different kinds of weather. In summer, when it is warm, you feel tired and lazy. You do not care to work or play, but enjoy lying and doing nothing. When you get out of doors in winter, the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to play.1.Which is another title suitable of the passage?A．The Patients’Temperature B．The Body Temperature Should Always Be the Same C．The Body Temperature D．The Temperature and Your Skin2.How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?A．It is always producing heat from food. B．It gives off the heat produced in it.C．It balances the heat it gets and loses. D．It stops producing heat when necessary.3.When one feels chilly, which of the following will he do?A．His skin becomes tight in order to keep warm.B．He does exercises to make his muscle produce more heat.C．He puts on more clothes to keep heat in.D．He keeps shivering to produce more heat.B“High tech”and “state of the art”are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing (制造业的) system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波炉), etc. “State of the art”is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is “state of the art”is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art”is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution（革命）. Every computer company claimed (声称) that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changes so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art”has become as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell how “high tech”and “state of the art”have developed.B．To give examples of high tech.C．To tell what “high tech”and “state of the art”are.D．To describe very modern technology.5.What can we learn from the passage?A．American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B．“High tech”describes a technology that is not traditional.C．“State of the art”became popular later than “high tech”.D．A lantern out of a big orange pumpkin is “state of the art”.6.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art”has become popular. B．“State of the art”means something that is the best one can buy.C．With the development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become unpopular.D．All the producers claim that their products are “state of the art”nowadays.7.The best title for the passage is .A．Computer TechnologyB．High Tech and State of the ArtC．Most Advanced TechnologyD．Two New Expressions第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn' t we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented“what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the“why”and“how”questions. According to Mclean,“When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention,”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major.“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so meaningful.”Lee is currently negotiating(商谈) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started working out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.(创新) It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.1.By mentioning“traffic light” and“windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are ________________.A.beneficial, though their inventors are less famousB.beneficial, because their inventors are famousC.not useful, because their inventors are less famousD.not useful, though their inventors are famous2.Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.A.add color and variety to students' campus lifeB.prepare students to try their own inventionC.carry out the requirements by Mountain Universityrm students of the windshield wiper's invention3.Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lecturesC.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?7、Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nation’s most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters.“It's stupid because we’ve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it’s the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone.”State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car, which he said wasn’t an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35,000 tickets for using a hand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence.“On the one hand I don’t want to see people crash into each other, but I'm not going to get an ear thing.” 38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.A.most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the carB.public transportation in California isn’t developed enoughC.in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phoneD.most of Californians are probably against the new law2.According to John Kobylt,_________.A.all the lawmakers are stupidB.holding the phone is safer than using an earphoneC.it isn’t dangerous to make a phone call while drivingD.it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous3.What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the future?A.He will suggest a law to forbid text messaging while rivingB.He will conduct a new survey among CaliforniansC.He will suggest building more roads in CaliforniaD.He will suggest a law to completely ban cell phones while driving.4.The underlinedword“ambivalence” in the last paragraph probably refers to______.A.a positive attitudeB.a negative attitudeC.a confused feelingD.an excited feeling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。
