ATwo of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else（否则）there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased( 停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. " In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread. "To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections ( memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.21.The underlined sentence "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread " means “”.A.Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB.Bread comes from the sweat on your faceC.Failure is the mother of successD. No pains, no gains22.We learn from the passage that the author .A.was a wealthy person in the communityB. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)C.held a positive attitude towards an active lifeD.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed23.What is implied in the passage by the writer?A.To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B.If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.C.As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D.Where there is a will, there is a way.BIt's such a happy-looking library,painted yellow,painted yellow,decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven,it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It's a library built with love.A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,"That's what we're going to do for our spring break!"Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn't see the point of building a library that resembles(与...相似) a mailbox.But Janey insisted.and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 5-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses,and made a door of glass.After adding the library's final touches( 装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front ,instructing users to"take a book,return a book",and making the Henriksen library,now one several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2 500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20or so books they'd already read,a mix of science fiction,reference.titles,novels and kids' favorites."I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,"said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.Since then,the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project's best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind."We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular."24..Janey got the idea to build a library from .A.a visit to Brian WilliamsB.a spring break with her familyC.a book sent by one of her neighborsD.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization25.The library was built .A.by a ship supply companyB.on the basis of toy horsesC.like a mailboxD.with glass26.What can we infer about the signboard?A It was made by a user of the library. B.It marked a final touch to the library.C It aimed at making the library last long.D It indicated the library was a family property.27.The passage tells us that the users .A.donate books to the libraryB.get paid to collect books for the libraryC receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD visit the library over 5 times on average dailyCYou may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. it was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration andill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.28.What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?A.His travel experience.B. His successful communication skills.C. Adventurous experiences in the front line.D. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.29.We can learn from the text that Moby Dick .A.sold a little better than Pierre.B. was Melville’s favorite novel.C. was copied from other books.D. made Melville popular again.30.The text may be taken from .A. a writing guideB. a literary(文学的) journal.C. a science magazine.D. a critical book on literature.31.What is the text mainly about?A. The main works of Melville.B. The skills in Melville’s writing.C. The ups and downs of Melville.D. The reason for Melville’s failure.DThe Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间)trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully( 恐吓)other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from schoolcomputers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with s ites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educat ing their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.32．Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A. At the teacher’s office.B. At the net bar.C. At the classroom.D. At home. 33．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean .A.some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sitesB.some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sitesC.some educators can’t connect social ne tworking sites easilyD.some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites 34．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.B.There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C.Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D.Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question. 35．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Lessons Online?B. Friendship Online?C.Dangers Online?D. Information Online?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。

2016—2017学年度高二年级下学期英语综合考试
2016—2017学年度高二年级下学期英语综合考试2017年2月28日第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，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。
ALi Chunlin, a farmer, used to live in a poor village in the north of Shaanxi. In the 1980s, he went to Shenzhen to make a living with his wife.Years later, they became rich and returned to their hometown. To their surprise, the land around the village was covered with sand. That made them feel sad. After thinking carefully, Li and his wife made up their minds to fight against the sands.They bought thousands of young trees and planted them around the village. However, only a few survived, because the trees were not regularly watered. But how to get water was a big problem. They dug a well but it became dry soon. Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well. Clear water appeared, but their money was used up. They couldn’t aff ord to buy young trees. They went to several banks for help but got nothing. Finally they turned to a friend who was also from the village. The friend had a big business. Learning what they were doing, their friend was moved and decided to do something for their village too. So he offered the money they needed.With the money, they bought trees and had them planted. They looked after the trees as if they were their own children. After some time, green leaves came out. When the villagers saw the changes, some started to join Li and his wife in the fight. Then more joined. Years went by. And now larger areas around the village are covered with green trees.21. When Li and his wife returned from Shenzhen, they were sad because __________ .A. the land around the village was covered with sand.B. they didn’t have enough money to buy trees.C. their village was not as beautiful as Shenzhen.D. they didn’t have enough water to drink.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Li and his wife dug a well with enough water themselves.B. Li and his wife got much money from the banks.C. The villagers didn’t join Li and his wife in the fight.D. Their friend gave Li and his wife some money to buy trees.23. This passage is mainly about how Li and his wife __________.A. tried different ways to find waterB. made money in Shenzhen.C. fought against the sands.D. bought and planted trees.BIn the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls . I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.24. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter25. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Three timesD. Many times26. Which is the correct order about the story?①The boy danced joyfully with two girls.②The boy went back to school and made new friends.③The boy refused to join in the activities.④The boy's mother made a phone call to the writer.A. ①②③④B.②③①④C.③①②④D.④③②①27.From Paragraph 4，we can infer that Tommy's mother was very_______to the writer.A. thankfulB. helpfulC. faithfulD. harmfulCWhen an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia nicknamed Will Smith “The Prince”, she didn’t know how famous that nickname would become. Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵）.Will was interested in music, especially rap music. He began rapping when he was 12 years old. Although he soon became good enough to make a recording, Will hesitated to do so. At that time, rap music featured a lot of violence. Will was against violence in songs. He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.As he grew older, Will’s charm and sense of humor impressed many people. He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧), The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show was successful, and Will lived up to his nickname. Will’s acting career led to starring roles in majormotion pictures. Independence Day which starred Will Smith, earned more money than any movie in 1996. The following year, Men in Black earned the most money in 1997. The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist. He began mixing his interests, music and acting. His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award, while his next film, Enemy of the State, thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career, music is still his first love. He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting. Although Will’ s sense of humor is evident in his music, he often writes songs with meaning and purpose. Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son. Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older. Family and friends are very important to Will. They are what encourage him to continue in his career.28. Will Smith was given the nickname “The Prince” at school because_________.A. he was born in a royal familyB. he was generous and handsomeC. his way of talking was charmingD. he was more clever than any other student29. What was Will Smith’s attitude towards the violence in rap music?A. Positive.B. Objective.C. Uninterested.D. Opposed30. Will Smith became famous as a recording artist because of his performance in________. .A. Men in BlackB. Enemy of the StateC. Independence DayD. Just the Two of Us31. What can we learn about Will Smith from the last paragraph?A. He prefers acting to singing.B. He owes his success to his young son.C. He is grateful to his family and friends.D. He finds acting is the most challenging.DMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry(洗好的东西) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s im portant for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you @ timeforkids, com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.32. How does the author start the passage?A. By presenting some facts.B. By listing some evidence.C. By comparing different views.D. By stating his own experiences.33. According to Susie Walton,_________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about__________.A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores35. The purpose of writing the text is to_________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author’s viewpoint about parenting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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Google posted the ne w options on May 19，the same day that Amazon celebrated a milestone of selling more e-books than print books. Google includes a feature that Amazo n hasn't managed to offer yet: readers can now translate pass ages of a text while they are reading an e-book in Google books.The Google e-Bookstore has books in different languages. There are even magazines to read in the Google e-Bookstore. Not all of the books can be downloaded to an e-reader, but they can all be read online. The new Google tools will work when you are reading Google e-books in a web browser.On May 19, 2011, Google Books software engineer Derek Lei explained in an article that " all of the tools have the same sta rting point. When you select a word or a passage, you can do uble click your mouse and a menu will appear. You will then s ee options to look up a definition, translate the words, and sea rch the book. The definition works like a regular online diction ary; Google Dictionary offers a short definition with the option for more information and a pronunciation guide. The translatio n tool works the way Google's webpage translation works.”Searching books has always been part of Google's focus；Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google with the aim of se arching books. The new additions of defining books while you are reading them are common with e-book readers, but being able to translate to and from different languages, including Latin, is even bigger than the original "bi g idea" of Google books.5．Why was May 19 an important day for Google?A. Because Google began to sell more e-books than print ones.B. Because Google translated many books into Latin on that d ay.C. Because it was a turning point when Amazon was defeated by Google.D. Because Google offered new tools to make online reading easier.6．The Google e-Bookstore can offer its readers the following service EXCEPT ________.A. downloading any e-book as they like B. electronic magazinesC. e-books in many languages D. translation while reading7．When you look up a new word with Google, ________.A. you have to stop reading and turn to a new pageB. you can double click your mouse and follow the instruction sC. you must refer to its pronunciation on other websitesD. don't expect detailed information about this word 8．Google was started to_______.A. translate words or passagesB. search booksC. provide a communication toolD. exchange acade mic informationCIs there anything more important than health? I don't think s o. "Health is the greatest wealth." wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or ba d pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you r un a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor’s. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your hear t and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funn y story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man w as very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory los s and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor e xamined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat with plea sure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor als o said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't s moke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentle man came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and hap py. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a he althier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."9. The writer thinks that _____.A. work is as important as studiesB. health is more im portant than wealthC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money10. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do _____.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn't take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain11. The underlined part means "_____".A. he will be well againB. he wasn't a health y manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he was fee ling better than ever12. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man _____ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn't smoke so muchC. didn't smokeD. began to learn to sm okeDMillions of people around the world cook their food over a s moky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts ofmoney on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, peopl e are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking wat er to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cook er. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sun light into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective f or slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It include s several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's lig ht onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of pla stic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel co okers with very few supplies quickly. They do not cost much. I n Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens . However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cau se burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. Th ey will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A s olar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low t emperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.13.The solar oven has been in use for aboutA. 100 yearsB. 150 yearsC. 250 yearsD. 300 year s14.The advantage of a panel cooker is thatA. It costs very little money to makeB. food can be cooked very quickly in itC. it can cook large amounts of food at a timeD. food can be kept warm in it for a longer time15. Which of the following is a disadvantage of a parabolic co oker?A. It takes a long period to cook a mealB. It’s too heavy to be carried.C. It requires certain skills to build and operate.D. It can be used only when the weather is perfect.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。

(A)Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the cit y streets at night and they were not paid.About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their ho mes as much as possible.In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to sto p thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Str eet Runners” because they worked near Bow Street.Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but Lo ndon had become very big and needed more policemen. So i n 1829 , the first Metropolitan(or London)Police Force was sta rted with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were me n.Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few polic e officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for t he others.( )1.In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid .A. a fewB. nothingC. a littleD. a lot( )2.About 300 years ago, many people .A. wanted to leave LondonB. had big houses in LondonC. became policemenD. came to live in London( )3.People didn’t leave their houses because .A. they had no moneyB. they were afraid of losing moneyC. the city was not cleanD. they liked homes(B)When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we w ant to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to sa y “no”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the h elp of gestures（手势）.People from other countries often have to do it if they do n’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in It aly, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a resta urant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the Am erican opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them o ut again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The America n shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t wa nt tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. Th e American shook his head again. He was very hungry now a nd looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant whe n another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he puthis hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a l arge plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.( )4.Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”.A. right and leftB. fast and slowC. hard and easyD. up and down( )5.If people want to say ,they may shake their heads.

Of course it was a good place for trai ning the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them a nd he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young o fficer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came b ack to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gat e. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the tow n and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers c ame back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found t he officer was angry.“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. Bu t something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had t o run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopp ed him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wro ng with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but th e horse died!”( )7.The military camp was built in the village to .A. stop the soldiers from going to townsB. stop the soldiers from meeting their friendsC. train the new soldiersD. make the young men live quietly( )8.Mr Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because .A. he was kind to themB. they felt lonelyC. they had something important to doD. they were the bes t of all( )9.The young officer was worried because .A. a traffic accident had happenedB. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiersC. the nine soldiers would come backD. the nine soldiers drank too much in the town( )10.The nine soldiers returned to the camp late because .A. something was wrong with their busesB. their horses died on the return wayC. it took them much time to run backD. they all drank much in the town( )11.Which answer do you think is true?A.

The officer won’t punish his soldiers.(D)The snow lasted until last Friday. I opened the window this m orning and saw the sun but I felt much colder.“You’d better go to work on foot , dear,”said my husband,“It is dangerous for you to drive.”I thought him right and agreed. It would take me about forty m inutes to go my hospital. There was about an hour left, so I st arted, with a bag of sandwich for breakfast. In the streets ther e was thick snow and ice and the traffic was less than before and people walked carefully. Suddenly I saw a car going fast. The driver tried to pass the crossing before the lights turned r ed. Maybe he didn’t see two boys in the middle of the street. His car knocked down(撞倒)one boy and stopped just in front of the police box. People crowded around the boy at once. I rushed out of the g athering crowd (聚集的人群)and was going to look him over. But a man pushed me asi de and said,“Step back(向后退),please. I,ve had a course in first aid(急救).”I had to stand and watch his ministrations(救助) for a few minutes.

But a phone call years ago found him a new career.“I got a random phone call one day，” he says. “They asked me if I could make a picture in somebody's lawn(草坪), and I thought: ‘well, you can make a picture out of anythin g, can't you？’” As a result, the finished masterpiece ended u p in the newspapers and, before he knew it, Naylor had a new profession: lawn artist.With a background in art, rather than gardening, battling natur e was a new experience for Naylor when he started. “It was a new challenge and it was very hard to research lawn art. How do you do it? There's not much of it out there. So I had to wor k out how it would work, and what I'd need.” He says.As a lawn artist, however, there is no room for error. And ther e's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goe s wrong. So Naylor has to get it right for the first time. “If you a ccidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key，” he says. “Grass is not a nice artistic mediu m. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be imp ressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it li ke any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, youhave to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass s oon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the ann oying thing about nature，” says Naylor.5．How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A．It was only a small one. B．It was difficult to create. C．It made him famous. D．It was created in winter. 6．What matters most to a lawn artist?A．Accuracy. B．Opportunity. C．Knowledge. D．Courage .7．What can we infer about lawn art?A．It has a long history. B．It can be created randomly. C．Rain is a help to the lawn art. D．It is a combination of ar t and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and ev en react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading you r mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or eve n a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions li ke moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel sa ys the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the pe rson is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to r eading documents like the EU banking regulations that most p eople would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered throu gh each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they w ere reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detec ting technology to future computers will help improve the digit al learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest le vel will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time a nd reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the techn ology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 8．Which movement does the machine keep track of? A．Breathing. B．Typing. C．Scratching. D．Walking. 9．What might people's high level of movement indicate durin g TVwatching?A．They are getting excited. B．They are feeling bored. C．They are very interested. D．They are thinking actively. 10．How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A．By a followup survey. B．By analysing previous data. C．By means of questionnaires. D．By observing participant s' performance.11．Which field will detecting technology be applied to? A．Agriculture. B．Politics. C．Industry. D．Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt , proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and gover n how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driv erless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses proper ty(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes be tween humans based on age or race; and that if a human rem oves his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check emai l, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic d riving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equ al legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not cl ear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introd uced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinkingof driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people exp ect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Bec ause of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport ra ther than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat the m as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer t o?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where pa ssing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless ca rs?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.

AAnn was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much .Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”( )21. “A package trip” probably means ________.A. a free tripB. a long journeyC. a pleasant tripD. a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets andservices( )22.

How do you think Jane would feel aft er she heard Ann’s answer?A. Angry.B. Happy.C. Surprised.D.

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been called a National Monument (遗迹) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has scarcely (几乎没有) ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising sights, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and changeable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on a frightening ground as evening shadows move and lengthen.( )25. According to the first paragraph, ______ is the lowest place in the United States.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater( )26. Devil Golf Course is famous for _______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures( )27. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofCHow much paper do you use every year? Perhaps you can’t answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 100 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word “advanced”. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt andthe West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants.Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia — which now makes a great deal of the world’s paper — did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.( )28. The underlined word “advanced” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. bigB. smallC. developedD. beautiful( )29. Paper was first made in ________.A. ChinaB. EgyptC. the WestD. southern Europe( )30. The man who first made paper from trees was a (an) ___.A. ChineseB. EgyptianC. CanadianD. German( )31. Which country makes the best paper in the world today?A. Canada.B. Finland.C. Sweden.D. Norway.D“After four days in hospital, a 35-year-old woman died of bird flu in the western part of Indonesia on Tuesday, raising the country’s deaths to 57, and the source of infection (传染) was still unknown,” a senior health ministry official said.The H5N1 virus has killed at least 153 people worldwide since it began hitting Asian poultry (家禽) in late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, with over a third of the human deaths in Indonesia.Most of those killed have been infected by house-kept poultry, but WHO fears the virus could turn into a form that easily spreads among humans, causing a nationwide disease with the possibility to kill millions.Indonesia, the wo rld’s fourth most populous (人口稠密的) country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is looked upon as a possible hot place for that to happen.The government came under fire for moving slowly to get rid of the virus when it first appeared in chickens and ducks, but has worked hard in recent months to make the public know about the dangers of bird flu.It has also increased vaccinations (接种疫苗) and killing of birds in infected areas. But no one knows whether the action will work. After all, bird flu has been there for more than two years and killed so many people.( )32. This passage probably appears on the ________ page of a newspaper.A. sportsB. entertainmentC. health and lifeD. travel( )33. The underlined part “came under fire” in Paragraph 5 probably means _________.A. caught fireB. became angryC. got criticized (批评)D. was warm ( )34.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Millions of people in Indonesia will be k illed by the H5N1 virus.B. Indonesia is a hot place for bird flu to happen because it has a big populationof humans and chickens.C. The government of Indonesia didn’t do anything against bird flu.D. The source of inflection that killed the 35-year-old woman was a bird.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。
