In May 2016.B. In May 2017.C. In September 2016.D. In September 2017.22.Who is more likely to get the job?A. Sam, English major, member of the college basketball team.B. Judy, IT staff with night classes, children’s basketball team coach.C. Ted, computer major, basketball fan, free on evenings and weekends.D. Molly, part-time programmer, high school basketball player, new mother.23.Who should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville?A. Michael.B. Jorge.C. Gauri.D. Gary.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pou r about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.24. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets25. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. regain their appetitesC. burn more caloriesD. reduce food intake26. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.27. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CThe other day I was walking into the bank at the same time as a man who looked homeless. He had a bucket full of coins. As I did my business at the bank, I couldn’t help but overhear his conversation with the other teller (出纳员）.He wanted to get his coins counted and put into the bank, but he didn’t have an account. He was hoping not to have to pay a fee.I thought this was not going to be pretty. To my surprise, the teller said he would gladly do that with the fee avoided. Then he said, “Would you be interested in opening an account today?” He looke d down, and said, “Well, I probably don’t have enough.” “How much do you have?” “Maybe ten dollars.” It was apparently not enough for the lowest balance requirement of an account. At this point I saw the bank manager walking over. I assumed he was going to be refused definitely. But instead, with the brightest smile Td seen in a while, she said, “Come over here, and let’s take a look at how we can set you up.”He looked nervous：why was everybody being so nice to him? He was thankful, but he said, I’ve got t o have five dollars, and that’s only five dollars left.” “That’s fine,” she said. “We'll go ahead and deposit (存）the ten, and then you can withdraw five. I’ll just ignore the low balance requirement of your account.” He looked shocked. I felt very surprise d, too. She was talking to him like he was an important businessman with thousands of dollars to deposit. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen.He looked so happy and immediately began filling out the paperwork. I left the bank, got in my car, an d drove home with a lump in my throat at the pure kindness I’d witnessed.28. The homeless man went to the bank to_____.A. get some cashB. count all his coinsC. deposit his moneyD. change some money29. In the eyes of the author the homeless man_____.A. was worth showing mercy toB. was really looked down uponC. was dressed and behaved poorlyD. made an unreasonable request30. The author felt very shocked because_____.A. the homeless man had a very lucky day in the bankB. the manager treated the homeless man as an old friendC. the homeless man is an important man they must helpD. all of the homeless man’s requests were met by the manager31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Love is everywhere.B. Help others light one’s day up.C. Never judge a man by his looks.D. The homeless can have a lucky day.DIn the span of nearly 5 years, Uber has gone from a limited launch in San Francisco to offering rides in more than 300 cities worldwide. In China alone, despite existing in a legal gray zone, the company claims it arranges 1 million rides per day. That means 35 Chinese people hop into an Uber there every time you blink.But are there limits to how much Uber can scale?“The natural end point has to rely on autonomous driving technology”—not humans, says Emilio Frazzoli, director of the Transportation@MIT Initiative. He thinks robots could be taking the wheel in the next 15 years, certainly within the next 30. The reasons, he says, are economical and cultural.First, as much as 50 percent of an Uber ride’s cost goes toward paying the human behind the wheel, Frazzoli says, and that’s money that could be going into Uber’s pocket. Replacing human operators has already begun in Singapore, a city that relies heavily on public transit. It’s not widelyadvertised, Frazzoli says, but the subway trains there “are completely automated. They are just horizontal elevators.”Plus, for reasons from supply to quality control, Oberholzer-Gee, a professor at Harvard, says getting drivers will likely always be more of a headache than finding more riders. With autonomous vehicles, he says, “You could have a guaranteed supply of one of the sides, and particularly of the side that is harder to manage.”Second, Uber’s urban saturation (饱和) is making a lot of people rethink the idea of owning a car, Frazzoli says. That’s no accident: As Uber’s general manager in Vietman recently told Reuters, “Our goal is to replace private car ownership.” Carnegie Mellon computer scientist David Andersen is on b oard. “What an unfortunate waste of resources,” he wrote in his blog, referring to the cost of using his car, which he recently sold. “Taking public transit, uber, or cabs…wouldn’t have been free, but it would have been better for my wallet.”If the custom of car-ownership dramatically dissolves, then Uber’s mass of potential drivers will, too. Lack of driver will serve as another forcing function on Uber’s business model, further forcing it to evolve toward autonomous cars.32. According to the first paragraph, we know that Uber ___________.A. has developed for five years in China.B. is legal in China.C. requests 1 million rides per day.D. enjoys great popularity in China.33. Why does Emilio Frazzoli think robots could replace human operators in future?A. Autonomous vehicles can help Uber to earn much more money.B. Cities like Singapore rely heavily on public transports.C. Controlling drivers means improving quality.D. Uber could have a guaranteed supply of more riders.34. W hat does the underlined word “dissolves” mean in the last paragraph?A. Obtain successB. Make a differenceC. Come to an endD. Make an agreement35. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. Children’s literature.B. A science magazine.C. An advertisementD. A science fiction.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

New Balance ClimbC. playing with giant flowersD. cooking food at play or TV studios3.Who might be most interested in this passage?A. Parents.B. Students.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn ' t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn ' t catch anything. I usuallygot pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish ” , I remember being even more upset then because, "I' m not a fish!” I didn ' t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is whyfish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, wateris usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don ' t have any eyelids( 眼皮）and the sun hurts their eyes …The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding andcatching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “ We all need to think like sales people. ” But it didn ’ t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “ If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman. ” What he said was, “ You needto think like a fish. ” Years later, with great efforts to promote lon g-term services to peoplemuch older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.4.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.5.What did the author ’ s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.6.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ____ .A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.7.After entering the business world, the author found ______ .A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father ’ s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss ’ s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCIn 2006, Sal Khan launched “ Khan Academy” to provide YouTube teaching for his 12 -year-old cousin who needed help with maths. The online school now provides more than 580 million online lessons in over 36 languages. Last fall, Khan created a physical school in California.The Khan Lab School runs differently from traditional schools. There ’ s no homework or grades, and students —ranging from ages five to 12 —sha re the same classroom. “ It ’ s only 150 yearsthat we separated children by age in classrooms, ” said Khan. “ The idea is that you can learna lot from the students who are a little older than you and if you ’ re 12 years old you couldexercise a lot of leadersh ip being a teacher assistant for the younger students. ”The school also breaks up the students based on their “ independence level, ” rather than their age.“ Whatever independence level you ’ re on —whether in math, reading or writing —you’ re on your own tra ck, ” he explained.Another unique feature of the school is that it runs all day, all-year long. Khan said theproblem with the current school schedule is that they do not have enough learning time. “ Thegap between the U.S. and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom, ” Khansaid. “ You have the summer learning loss, which is not only time that you ’ re not learning whenyou could be, but also you ’ re forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year. ”Now Khan Lab School enters its second year. Khan said he hopes to use the reach of the KhanAcademy, which has more than 30 million users now, to send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms.st fall, Sal Khan ______ .A. launched an online courseB. set up The Khan Lab SchoolC. helped his cousin with mathsD. started Khan Academy on the Internet9.Which is one of the features of the Khan Lab School?A. Kids are separated by ages.B. Kids are trained to be teachers.C. Younger kids learn from older ones.D. Older kids learn less than younger ones.10.What can be inferred from Paragraph Four?A.Students in America spend little time at school.B.American schools run all day, all-year long.C.Learning time is very important for test scores.D.Summer is the best time for learning.11.According to the last paragraph, Khan is going to _____ .A. share the school ’ s experienceB. attract more studentsC. create more similar schoolsD. hire more teachersDThe popular smartphone application Instagram（照片分享） has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking（创新的） aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility hasalso created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram ’ s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration —despite how accessible, commonand fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.12.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A.The increasing popularity of Instagram.B.The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C.The changes that Instagram brings us.D.The differences between Instagram and professional photography.13.What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A.Help people to discover true self.B.Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C.Encourage people to be more competitive.D.Let people gain others ' respect and admiration.14.Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A.Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B.Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C.Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D.Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.15.What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Useful.B. Valueless.C. Helpless.D. Absurd.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

With my deepest regret, I have to inform you that I may not stick to our collaborative learning project, which was originally supposed to kick off on June 30th.Please accept my genuine apology and account for the sudden change.

高二下学期英语期末考试试卷(附答案)

高二下学期英语期末考试试卷（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms(微生物)．If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth．Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months．Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control．Sure enough, the plastic exposed(暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.“Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me．One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags．The answer: not much．So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.（1）Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because ________.A.he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter timeB.he contributed much to environmental protectionC.he found a new kind of microorganismD.he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way（2）Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ________.A.make the live bacteria work betterB.know which bacteria worked fasterC.test how effective his method wasD.control the temperature in the process（3）Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ________.A.plastics can get hot easilyB.microbes can produce heat themselvesC.much carbon dioxide is producedD.the temperature can be controlled（4）Daniel Burd got his idea from ________.A.his school textbookB.the failure of researchersC.his everyday workD.the practice of other people2.阅读理解For hours after their boat sank, Ken Henderson and Coen trod(踏) water in the Gulf of Mexico, talking about life and death while struggling to survive. For more than 30 hours, it worked.Then Henderson was forced to make a decision. “I'm going to go for help or you're not going to make it,” Henderson told Coen, just before cutting the strap(带子) that connected them in the deep, cold waters. “I understand,”Coen responded, giving Henderson a last set of instructions, “Kiss my babies for me.”Days after the fishing trip ended in tragedy, Henderson told the story for The Associated Press.They had been fishing for a few hours when suddenly Coen noticed the boat was filling with water. Henderson got both motors roaring, only to have the saltwater that had leaked in break them straight away…Coen jumped to the right, his sunglasses and cap flying off. The two grabbed extra life jackets and other floating items, including a half full bottle of Diet Coke.“The water was so cold and it took your breath away,” Henderson said. They immediately began to tremble.The pair prepared for a long wait. And they talked.“We discussed things and discussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied,” Henderson said.Eventually Coen started hallucinating(有幻觉). Henderson tried to keep Coen's arms and legs moving. But as morning came, Coen's situation worsened. And so Henderson decided to cut the strap.He swam for two hours, tired, frustrated and depressed. Then he saw an oil rig(钻探平台) in the distance. He swam, seeing ice and crystal trees in the water. He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself up the rig's ladder.It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.All he could think of was Coen. Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.Two hours later, a fisherman found a body in a life jacket.Later, in the hospital, Henderson saw his friend. He apologized and asked for forgiveness. He promised to realize his wishes and look after his girls.“I felt like a part of me had died out there,” Henderson said.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A.It was Henderson who first noticed something was wrong with the boat.B.Everything the men did to get the boat to work made matters worse.C.Henderson alone did what he could but it had little effect.D.The men's long discussion about life and death filled them with sadness.（2）After Henderson cut the strap and swam away, .A.he regretted his decision to leave his friendB.he knew he had a good chance of being savedC.he had to fight against exhaustion and hallucinationsD.he got encouraged by remembering the talk with Coen（3）What can we conclude from the article?A.Henderson tried to rescue both of them.B.They kept talking because they felt excited.C.Coen would have survived if he had believed in his friend.D.Coen was unwilling to be left alone but he eventually agreed.（4）What kind of person is Henderson?A.Strong-willed and loyal.B.Selfish but decisive.C.Smart and creative.D.Experienced but indifferent.3.阅读理解By now, you've probably been warned that a robot is coming for your job. But rather than repeat the warning, I've decided to throw down a challenge: man against machine.Start with the task we're doing right now: communicating in fluent human. We're sharing abstract ideas through words that we choose with an understanding of their slight difference and impact. We don't just speakin human; we speak as humans. A robot who says that science is fun is delivering a line (念一句话). A human who says that science is fun is telling you something important about being alive.Here's another inbuilt advantage we take for granted: as humans we are limited by design. We are bound in time: we die. We are bound in space: we can't be in more than one place at a time. That means when I speak to an audience, I am giving them something special. It's a custom-made, one-off, 100% robot-free delivery, from today's one-and-only Australian Chief Scientist.True, I now come in digital versions, through Twitter and Facebook and other platforms, but the availability of those tools hasn't stopped people from inviting me to speak in person. Digital Alan seems to increase the appetite for human Alan, just as Spotify (a digital music service) can increase the demand for a musician's live performances.Thanks to technology, many goods and services are cheaper, better and more accessible than ever before. We like our mass-produced bread, and our on-tap lectures and our automated FitBit advice. But automation hasn't killed the artisan bakery (面包店). Online courses haven't killed the booming, alongside their machine equivalents.Here's a third argument for the win. We humans have learned the habit of civilization. Let me explain this point by a story. A few years go, some researchers set out to study the way the people interact with robots. They sent out a small robot to patrol (巡逻) the local mall. That robot had a terrible time, and the villains of the story were children. They kicked him, bullied him, and smacked (掌击) him in the head.The point is not that the children were violent. The point is that the adults were not. They restrained whatever primitive impulse (冲动) they might have felt in childhood to smack something smaller and weaker in the head, because they had absorbed the habit of living together. We call it civilization. If we want artificial intelligence for the people, we'll need every bit of that civilizing instinct.Together, these points suggest to me that humanity has a powerful competitive edge. We can coexist with our increasingly capable machines and we can make space for the full breadth of human talents to flourish. （1）What's humans' second advantage according to the author?A.Our special personality.B.Our super intelligence.C.Our unique existence.D.Our language ability.（2）What's the author's attitude towards Spotify and FitBit?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Grateful.D.Reserved.（3）Why does the author tell the story of a small robot?A.To prove humans are well-educated.B.To show children are naughty in nature.C.To suggest machines will become violent.D.To indicate machines can serve humans well.（4）What's the author's final conclusion about humans and machines?A.Both sides would be losers in the fight.B.Humans will completely defeat machines.C.Machines will replace humans in many fields.D.Humans and machines will live in harmony with each other.4.阅读理解One of the most firmly established idea of manliness is that a real man doesn't cry. Although he might shed a tear at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Sobbing openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do—five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.Historically, however, men routinely wept, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights cried purely because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelotweeps at a brief separation from Guinevere. There's no mention of the men in these stories trying to restrain or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do their companions make fun of this public crying; it's universally regarded as an admirable expression of feeling.So where did all the male tears go? The most obvious possibility is that this shift is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural society to one that was urban(城市的) and industrial. In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize. But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where emotional expressions and even private conversations were discouraged as time wasting.Yet human beings weren't designed to swallow their emotions, and there's reason to believe that holding back tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and inadequate crying. Weeping is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.（1）In history, people considered it ________ for men to cry in public.A.manlyB.acceptableC.shamefulD.ridiculous（2）How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3?A.By making comparisons.B.By explaining effects.C.By offering descriptions.D.By giving definitions (定义).（3）Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage?A.Tony who lives alone and seldom expresses himself.B.Emily who is outgoing but sometimes sobs in public.C.Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.D.Rebecca who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（共1题；共10分）5.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。

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.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling(生动的）“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 important than “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 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 put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things 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 th inking about it.4. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _____.A. discuss it with othersB. analyze it by oneselfC. practice reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook5. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _____.A. to enjoy poetryB. to understand lifeC. to become teacherD. to become poets6.The underlined word "make room "( in the last paragraph)probably means ____.A. to build a boothB. to provide equipmentC. to set aside enough spaceD. to leave a certain amount of time7. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A.Poetry is more important than any other subject.B.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.3.（8分）Passage CFor millions of years, animals have communicated in countless ways — from giving off chemical signals, to performing complex dances. Humans, on the other hand, have the ability to communicate using language. However, scientists don't agree on when human language first appeared. Even if it's unclear exactly when it began, human language has developed greatly in the past century, branching off into three different types: natural, artificial, and formal language.Natural languages, also known as man-made languages, are languages that humans have developed simply out of the need to communicate with each other. Natural languages are the languages people speak, read, write, and listen to every day, such as English, Hindi, and Russian. The vocabulary and rules of these languages have developed naturally, without the influence of an author or creator modeling or changing the languages. In short, natural languages “just happen”.Artificial languages are also man-made, but they are constructed, or made, by humans who already use a natural language to communicate. The vocabulary and grammar of artificial languages don't develop naturally but are constructed by an author or creator. There're a number of reasons for constructing an artificial language. In some cases, it may be a scientific experiment in language; in other cases, it may be the creation of an artist. An artificial language may also be constructed to make communication easier between people of different nationalities. Perhaps the best example of this is Esperanto, an artificial language created in 1887 by L. L. Zamenhof that was basically meant to simplify communication between Europeans.Finally, formal languages are languages that communicate something, but they are not spoken languages like natural and artificial languages. However, like artificial languages, they are constructed. Formal languages are meant to be very precise (精确的) in what they communicate. An example of a common formal language is computer code. Computer code hasits own set of very strict rules and serves only to “speak” to a computer — people cannot use it to communicate with others.8. What caused natural languages to develop?A. The creation of special writers.B. People's hope to record things.C. The influence of other languages.D. People's need to speak to each other.9. What do we know about artificial languages?A. They didn't appear until the 20th century.B. They are not used in daily communication.C. They have no vocabulary or grammar rules.D. They are created for some specific purposes.10. Why does the author mention Esperanto?A. To sing the praises of L. L. Zamenhof.B. To give an example of an artificial language.C. To suggest that it's still used by many Europeans.D. To explain how communication can be simplified.11. How are formal languages different from natural and artificial languages?A. People do not speak them.B. People cannot understand them.C. They are constructed by a creator.D. They are only used in computer science.4.（8分）Passage DEveryone talks about how social networking sites like Facebook have brought us together and allowed us to connect with friends 24 hour s a day. To some people, however, this “connecting” is more complicated than it looks. Sometimes I’ll stare at that blank status (状况) update box for half an hour trying to think of what to type, and usually I just give up without typing anything.This strikes me as strange, considering that I’m a professional writer. Back in school, the other kids used to beg me for help with their English papers, so why am I suddenly the only one who can’t think of anything to say?Maybe I’m overthinking this. After all, other people’s status updates aren’t especially impressive or interesting, and nobody seems to mind. Sometimes, they don’t even make sense. “Sitting in Starbucks LOL?” Are you really sitting in a Starbucks, laughing out loud?It feels like I’m the only one who’s figured out that “social networking” is really just a big competition for attention, with success measured in the number of comments other people leave on your updates. There’s nothing wrong with competition, but some people have such a big advantage in this one that it’s not even fun to play. A pretty girl can type “Bought a new swimsuit today!” and get 35 comments in about six minutes. I’m just as interested in pretty girls’ swimsuits as the next guy, but come on. I didn’t get 35 comments when I ann ounced that my first book was being published.It’s all so depressing.Being depressed would at least give me something to type, if not for the fact that depressing status updates are looked down upon. Social networking isn’t just about attention. It’s also about making other people think that you’re having more fun than they are. I’m starting to wonder how many status updates are even true. Did that person really justhave “the best day ever” or just get back from “the best party ever,” or does he just want everyone to think he did? It would certainly be ironic (讽刺的) if a program designed to help us connect with friends has instead forced us to spend all our time lying to them.12. What does the author want to show when mentioning his experiences in school?A. He likes making friends.B. He misses his school days.C. He is really good at writing.D. He has a likeable personality.13. What does the author think of people’s status updates such as “Sitting in Starbucks LOL”?A. Interesting.B. Senseless.C. Successful.D. Depressing.14. Compared with the pretty girl’s status update, the author’s update _____.A. received less attentionB. was much closer to the truthC. had a more competitive advantageD. showed he was less humorous than others15. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this text?A. To describe people’s online behavior.B. To explain how to write a good status update.C. To stress the importance of social networking.D. To argue about the way people act on social networking sites.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）Passage DE: 七选五。

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neitherside feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If thesame two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese tounderstand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming usand be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everydaylives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practi ce in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but trulycan not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will befull, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!66. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their w armth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A ( 10 points )Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.After the women’s movement in the world, women’s position in society as well as at home is improving. But how many men on earth have helped their wives do their housework at home, do you know? Recently a European Commission tried to find out people's ideas and reactions to the women's movement.They have carried out an overall survey of that. As part of their survey , they asked many men and women all over the Europe the same question,“Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things at home. 37% of Danish men helped their wives do such things in the house. But only 15% of Italianmen said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all.But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped them at home. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission, however, found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands, fpr their answers were the same as their wives' answers.Do the men you know around you help their wives in the house? Do you think the survey made by the European Commission gives a true picture in your experience?

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.The average college student in America spent an estimated 700 dollars on textbooks last year. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.Association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now represent just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10 to 15 percent by 2012.Online versions are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. E-textbooks can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device, so they are not easy to share.So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this yearthey tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56 percent said they were better able to find information.But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And 60 percent felt they read more when they were readingon paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. 55 percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive.He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.
