The first day, I finished the ride with great 36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my 37 , I did a little better the second time.I decided to work harder to 38 . Yesterday, I 39 so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take; 40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure aboutwhich 41 I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders 42 , and I just followed them.A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的轮胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it 43 in about a minute. We all waited there 44 he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticedsomething 45 . The guy at the front would ride 46 for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side, 47 his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (过程) would 48 every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to 49 the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the 50 I’ve ever gone.This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the 51 of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best 52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy 53 you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the 54 all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a 55 .

Isn’t it obvious that kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been re stored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity (成熟) and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair cut off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called “charity: water”. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page — /Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life-support machine. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children. Word spread about Rachel’s last fund-raiser (募捐行动). Contributions poured in, often they donated $9. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively. 【1】Which of the following is TRUE of Rachel?A.She died at the age of 8.B.She was a cancer patient.C.She was a warm-hearted girl.D.She founded Locks of Love.【2】The underlined word “skipped” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A.put off B.gave up C.expected D.planned【3】According to the text, Rachel set up the birthday page to .A.make more new friendsB.call on people to donate hairC.ask her friends to send her giftsD.raise money to help African children【4】How does the author feel about the young generation now?A.Worried B.Critical.C.Appreciative.D.Doubtful【5】What would be the best title for the text?A.Rachel’s last fund-raiserB.Rachel and her birthday pageC.Kids are addicted to social networks.D.What’s wrong with the young generation?2.The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (关键) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格内向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.【1】What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?A.Lonely.B.Exciting.C.Wild.D.Busy【2】In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us .A.how she cared what her classmates thoughtB.when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”C.why many of her classmates disliked novelsD.how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her【3】Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?A.To test whether she had a good memory.B.To make her earn the respect of her classmates.C.To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”D.To guide her to build a good relationship with others.【4】How did the author feel when she made the presentation?A.Comfortable.B.sad.C.Nervous.D.Confident.【5】What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To express her thanks to her teacher.B.To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏见).C.To introduce one of her favorite books.D.To suggest the ways to gain confidence.3.A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid –and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (订阅) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, direc tor of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn bet ter when they’re having interaction (互动) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持续时间) of a butterfly.”【1】According to the text, the new tool .A.is mainly used to entertain kidsB.can be accepted by most familiesC.is designed for preschool kidsD.can download games for free【2】Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?A.Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.B.Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.C.Because kids can’t communicate with it.D.Because traditional books are cheaper.【3】The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to .A.show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videosB.prove the importance of interaction with peopleC.ask parents to teach their kids to learnD.prove using e-books saves much time【4】The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “”.A.punished B.watched C.encouraged D.understood【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce a new electronic device.B.To teach kids how to live in a digital world.C.To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.D.To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.4.Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that ther e was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointi ng, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland – the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.Some people say t hat is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts o f Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.【1】Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because .A.he needed more time to examine latest informationB.he doubted whether koalas’ number is decreasingC.he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD.he had more important issues to deal with【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The habitat of the koala.B.Australia’s traffic problems.C.The importance of koalas for Australians.D.Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.【3】According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that .A.the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB.the government should announce the koala as an endangered speciesC.the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD.koala are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts【4】It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke .A.decided to construct more fences along roadsB.called on Australians to take care of the koalaC.thought the government has done much for koalasD.was optimistic about the koalas’ future【5】What is the main idea of the text?A.Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B.Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C.The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D.Australians are concerned about koalas.5.[1]Why is physical education important for students? There are many reasons. First of all, this subject helps them achieve the primary goal of physical education, which is physical fitness. As part of this, they can learn that it is highly important to include exercise and physical activities as part of their lifestyle.[2]Physical education helps children achieve a healthy lifestyle. Inside the classroom, teachers educate kids about highly relevant issues such as the importance of hygiene (卫生) and health. This subject will help them realize the importance of having strong bodies. Likewise, it will also teach them how to have a healthy and an active lifestyle.[3]Taking PE classes can help of students. Being confident is very important to them as they grow and become responsible as well as competitive adults someday. This aspect (方面) of physical education is extremely important in the character development of students. Furthermore, it will teach them how to have a positive attitude.[4]Physical education can teach students a set of all-important values. For example, it teaches students to fight like sportsmen and to cooperate with others to achieve one common goal as a team.[5]Physical education also helps students develop their motor skills. On this kind of program, they are placed in situations where they can further develop and improve their reflexes (反应), concentration and body posture. By taking this class, they can realize their full potential as individuals and as part of a team.[6]Moreover, physical education is also a means of enjoyment for students. By engaging in sports and physical activities, they can spend some pleasant time away from their other usual academic subjects. By doing so, they can achieve healthy minds and bodies.【1】What’s the text mainly about? (no more than 6 words)【2】What does the underlined word “it” (Line 3 paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)【3】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)【4】Based on the text, list two values that students can learn in PE classes. (no more than 6 words)【5】How can a student keep healthy physically and mentally? (no more than 9 words)四、书面表达3月21日是“世界睡眠日”。

I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?""You bet." I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness."Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."【1】The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because________.A.it was bought at a low price B.it frequently broke downC.it was a second-hand car D.it made him feel uneasy【2】The writer's father would enjoy being different unless _________.A.there was no danger of showing off B.it drew much attention to himC.it was understood as a joke D.it didn't bring him in arguments【3】The writer felt _______ about the idea of going to Eton.A.unhappy B.unbelievableC.delighted.D.complicated【4】Based on the passage we know that__________.A.It is not easy for children to get admitted by EtonB.Children can go to Eton if they would like toC.Children who can go to Eton are very famousD.Children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton3.If you and I met at a party, you would probably ask me what I do for a living, what town I live in — the kind of questions that would help you to build a picture of who I am. I might ask the same of you, but I probably wouldn't be listening. It's more likely I'd be looking at the label on your jeans, glancing at your shoes, and eyeing up your mobile phone. These are the things that really tell me who you are. In fact, I sincerely hope you would notice the same things about me. Well, that's the way it was a year ago.I began to behave like this at a very early age. I remember the first day of junior school, standing alone in the playground, desperately wanting to make friends. I headed straight for what seemed to be the most promising group of boys. They were talking to girls, trading football cards, eating green sweets — all the things I wanted to do. As I attempted to talk with them, one boy asked me, “Do you support Manchester United Football Club?” Another asked, “Are you into Michael Jackson?” I answered yes to them all, even though the truthful answer was no.Things seemed to be going well until one of the boys caught sight of my trainers. I'd never thought too much about them before. They were just plain blue sports shoes that Mum had bought, for playing in the back garden. At once, the group laughed very loudly, “Where did you get those from? A charitable organization?”Looking at the boys in bewilderment (疑惑), I noticed for the first time that they all had similar shapes on the sides of their trainers, like the ones on footballers' boots on television. It wasn't just their shoes: crocodiles, eagles and tigers sat on the breasts of their T-shirts, and every single boy seemed to have the same school bag, a blue plastic bag with a leaping puma in silver on the side. I walked away quietly, depressed. From that day on, I was determined to be like them, if not more so.【1】What was the author like one year ago?A.He was very interested in figure paintings.B.He used to judge others by their appearances.C.He was crazy about holding different parties.D.He had some difficulty communicating with others.【2】How did the author react when asked about his favorite football team?A.He replied proudly.B.He kept silent.C.He told a lie.D.He refused to answer.【3】Why did the group suddenly burst out laughing?A.Because they looked down upon the author.B.Because they were attracted by the author.C.Because they welcomed the author warmly.D.Because they played a joke on the author.【4】After the first day of junior school, the author began to _____.A.be addicted to television B.concern himself with animalsC.follow famous football players D.spend more money on branded goods4.Single-sex schools are better than mixed schoolsMessage 1 — posted by Jane, AmsterdamI think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.Message 2 — posted by Hans, GermanyMy reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.Message 3 — posted by Bill, USABoys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras! Message 4 — posted by Martin, LondonMy view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!Message 5 — posted by Emily, SydneyI don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.【1】What is Jane's attitude towards single-sex schools?A.Favorable.B.Negative.C.Objective.D.Unconcerned.【2】Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.A.teachers should meet students' different needsB.boys and girls should be taught separatelyC.schools should focus on students' exam resultsD.mixed schools are better than single-sex schools【3】Martin stresses the importance of _____.A.exciting students' interest in courses B.students' time awarenessC.training students to obey rules D.school management【4】Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _____.A.her support for single-sex schoolsB.students' determined effort to succeedC.the fierce competition in single-sex schoolsD.the better education results in single-sex schools二、其他根据短文内容,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。

raise adult maths skills.A survey of 300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back.An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.The plan to bring 60 English-speaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a city that hasbeen the top performance in the OECD's Pisa tests.The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK.The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers.“We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai-and other Chinese cities-has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.” said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England, “They have a can-do attitude to maths-and I want us to match that, and their performance,” She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country.'As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race.Good maths qualifications have the greatest earning potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment,” said the education minister.【1】Poor maths skills have caused serious _____ consequences in England.A.academic B.economicC.cultural D.political【2】What is the main factor behind Shanghai teachers’success in maths teaching?A.Their students are from poor familiesB.Their students have a talent for mathsC.They have

forecasters predict.“It’s got a little bit of everything,” William Babecock, a meteologist(气象学家)at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said of the post-Christmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the Ohio Valley before heading east with its mixed bag of snow, sleet, and rain.State Highway Administrator Frank De Paola said more than 4,000 states and snowplows(扫雪车)and salt spreaders were ready to make the roads safer for holiday travelers.“MassDOT will be fully staffed and will be ready to handle this,” De Paola said, nothing that the storm, which should bring snow to most of the state except the Cape and Island before turning into rain tomorrow, isMa ssachusetts’ first significant snow storm of this winter season.“There have been events where we have had pretty much freezing, icing concerns, which we have treated with chemicals.But this is the first big event that will call for plowing,” he said.A high wind watch has been issued for southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Forecasters say the wind could reach 60 mph, possibly bringing down power lines.In Worcester, some were busy for severer by buying rock salt,shovels and windshield wash,Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said.He called the volume(总量)of customers at his Webster Street store very steady on Wednesday morning, “You do get that supermarket effect for sure,”he said of shoppers stocking supplies before a storm.There were no fl ight delays or cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston as of day,” Right now, everything’s running normally.” airport spokesman Richard Walsh said.But Walsh said as the day progressed,travelers should contact their airlines directly to check the status of their flights.【1】According to William Babecock, we can know that_____.A.snow, sleet, and rain occurred after ChristmasB.nothing has been done to prepare for the winter stormC.400 snowplows were ready for the snowD.the snowstorm came from the Ohio snow【2】We can

shows concern for people’s living conditionsC.People from all walks of life have gotten ready for the snowD.Flights usually aren’t affected much by had weather4.What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marath on Robotics.The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.To access their fond, customers have to enter the unique code provided by the company.This is not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expert additional DRU’s to be ready f or service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months.But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon.According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also the issue of regulations.The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries.But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried.He is “confident that on e day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family.”【1】What's the function of LIDAR?A.keeping DRU free of obstaclesB.Recharging DRU’s batteryC.Helping DRU find its destinationD.Protecting DRU from bad weather【2】What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Heat B.HoldC.Sell D.Show.【3】Why does the company provide codes for its customers?A.To fit up more pizzasB.To prevent the pizza being taken by mistakeC.To keep the pizza warmD.To get the pizza paid in time【4】What can we infer about the future of DRU?A.It may need some improvements B.It will replace humans soon.C.It may be banned in Australia D.It will soon be applied worldwide二、其他根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all?And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple:expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned,expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably(不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said, “It's part of the adventure!” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.【1】The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because________.A.everything went smoothlyB.they had a lot of adventuresC.they had expected things to go wrongD.they could soon get used to the customs there【2】The author would probably agree that________.A.we should control our anger and irritationB.we must get well prepared for the futureC.optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritationD.anger and irritation is a natural part of our life【3】The purpose of the author is to________.A.tell us his own experience in lifeB.advise us how to find peace of mindC.tell us a happy trip he took with his childrenD.ask us to see things from both sides【4】By the underlined part (in Para.3), the author tells us to________.A.get ready for the worst result of thingsB.enjoy the process of thingsC.expect little from lifeD.find the relationship between cause and effect【5】We can learn from the passage that the author________.A.often gets angry in his lifeB.can adjust his state of mind accordinglyC.always expects others to act in his wayD.always suffers from his anger and irritation2.With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective(角度), consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility(威信)hit during a multi-month lockout(停工), where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down.【1】The passage is mainly about______A.why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy LinB.why Jeremy Lin became a member of the KnicksC.how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoffD.how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA【2】According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___A.The NBAB.Coach Isiah ThomasC.The KnicksD.Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares【3】The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______"A.not old yet.B.not completely grown.C.in the development D.in the early stage【4】The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____A.The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreementsB.the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.C.The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming ChristmasD.James had a bad performance in the basketball court【5】Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.These Knicks’ stars who were paid well saved the Knick s seasonB.The Knicks didn’t satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this seasonC.The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the GardenD.The owners and the players didn’t agree on raising the TV ratings3.A young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no children appeared.Instead,a brick smashed into his door! He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop).The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caught the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car,shouting,“What was that all about and who are you?”The young boy was apologetic.“Please,Mister...Please,I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do.I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”With tears dripping down his face,the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.“It’s my brother,”he said.“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.”Now sobbing(crying silently),the boy asked the executive,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.’’Moved beyond words,the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair,then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed(a light touch) at the fresh scrapes and cuts.A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.“Thank you and may God bless you.”the grateful child told the stranger.Shaken up for words,the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen,he has to throw a brick at us.Don’t go through life so fas t that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention! 【1】The executive slowed down because______. .A.he saw a boy throw a brick to his carB.he saw a boy rush out from between carsC.he was afraid some boys suddenly rushed outD.a brick smashed into his door【2】The boy threw the brick to the car in order to_________.A.disturb the driver on purposeB.destroy the car of the strangerC.ask someone to drive him homeD.stop someone to help him【3】Knowing the reason why the boy threw the brick at his car the executive must feel .A.sympathized and excitedB.regretful and sympathizedC.ashamed and regretfulD.angry and regretful【4】After the boy’s brother fell off his wheelchair, .A.the boy threw bricks at several carsB.the boy tried to stop several carsC.the boy’s brother was hurt seriouslyD.the boy’s brother wanted to stop a car【5】From the last paragraph we can learn that .A.you shouldn’t drive so fast that someone throws at youB.it is common to throw a brick at a car running too fastC.you can’t go through your life without a brick throwing at youD.you should pay more attention to others and help them4.With the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road,demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge(充电) them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company,has now demonstrated(演示)a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-In Station,which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage. The Solar Plug­In Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid(竞标)to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar Plug-In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.These sola r­powered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.“Solar energy and electric vehicles are a part nership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations,marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The SolarPlug-In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack,ready for everyday refueling.“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations,” says Scott Emalfarb,CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plug­in electric veh icles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate(为……提供场地)them.”【1】The Solar Plug-In Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________.A.it’s environmentally friendlyB.it makes up for the lack of electricityC.it’s a new idea and attracts people’s attentionD.it brings convenience to electric vehicle users【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.A.to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long timeB.the Solar Plug-In Station will come into use in 2016C.the Solar Plug-In Station has gone on show internationallyD.Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles【3】According to the passage,how many of the following statements are TRUE?a. Tesla Roadster is a kind of plug-in electric vehicle.b. The Solar Plug-In Station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.c. Chicago is a city,which is rich in oil.d. The Solar Plug-In Station consists of underground battery packs.e. Scott Emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plug-in electric vehicles.A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.【4】The passage implies that when the Solar Plug-In Station becomes popular,________.A.more visitors will come to ChicagoB.the citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work fasterC.more space for electric vehicles will be neededD.the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional cars【5】What would be the best title for the passage?A.Chicago Will Soon Be Full of Electric VehiclesB.Chicago Calls on People to Buy Electric VehiclesC.Chicago Fights for Its Bid to Host the 2016 OlympicsD.Chicago Shows Its Solar-powered Recharging Stations四、其他[1] At some point in your life you are bound to be required to give a speech. But are you capable of having the effect on an audience that you want to have? Here are some things to keep in mind.[2] You may think it's good to create an informal effect, or even that it' s cool to use filler words (填充词) such as “like” and “you know”. But in reality, these words add nothing, and create the danger of making you sound foolish and uninformed.[3] Pauses can be of significant help in adding depth to your speech, but only when they are used at the right moments. Pausing suddenly and with a panicked look will just make your audience uneasy. Also, a very long silence is the last thing you need. Make sure that your pauses are nicely placed if you want to sound like a speaker who has absolute control of what he is talking about.[4] You also need to be careful when you switch to a new idea during the course of a speech. Often speakers________transition words such as “well”, “so”, and so on, when they move on to new ideas. My advice, however, is to avoid such words and to try to think of a way of making a transition that is unique to the topic of your speech.[5] Finally, avoid “umming” and “ahhing” the way many people do when they give speeches. You want to sound co nfident and assured, and the way not to do so is to put an “urn” or an “ah” in the middle of every sentence.【1】What is the text mainly about?

The over-55s use their brains more efficiently (高效率地) than younger people, as they are much more likely to get rid of mistakes. Younger people, ________, give the impression of being sharper, simply by coming up with answers more quickly. But this may be a sign of inexperience rather than wisdom.[2] According to their experiment on sorting words into pairs, scientists found surprising differences between the brains of the older and younger participants when they made a mistake. To the younger ones, the mistake immediately activated(激活) several different parts of the brain to help them decide what to do next. The older people, however, didn’t start thinking about what they were going to do until the game restarted.[3] Dr Oury Monchi said, “When the young participants made a mistake and had to plan and take a new measure to get the right answer, various parts of their brains were used even before the next task began. However, when the older participants learned that they had a mistake, they decided to make adjustments(调整) only when completely necessary. The older brain had experience and knew that nothing was gained by taking action too soon.”[4] Dr Monchi compared the results to Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, saying, “Being able to run fast does not always win the race --you have to know how to best use your abilities.” This saying is a defining characteristic of ageing. It is as though the older brain is more unaffected to criticism and more confident than the young brain. Overall, the older group, who were aged between 55 and 75, took longer to complete the game but did roughly as well as those aged 18 to 35.【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

(no more than 4 words)_____________________________________________________【3】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

(no more than 10 words)____________________________________ are the two likely advantages of the older brain.二、完形填空完型填空 (共一篇, 20小题目, 满分30分)阅读下列短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.

Older people may be mistaken that they are incapable of _________ anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real _________ , because he feels that it _________ be useless, he won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success, and he won’t work his hardest, even though he may_________ he is doing so.

Small talk means the little things we talk aboutat the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”【1】Small talk is ________.A.a kind of conversation with short wordsB.a greeting used when people meet each otherC.to let people disagree about somethingD.something we talk about to start a conversation【2】The favorite topic of small talk for English people is _________.A.the weather B.politicsC.games D.languages【3】The passage suggests that when we learn a language _________.A.we should learn about the transport system of the countryB.we should only master the grammar and the vocabularyC.we should learn the culture of the countryD.we should understand the importance of the language【4】When we say “Great game, isn’t it?”, we are in fact __________.A.asking a question B.having a conversationC.make a comment D.making small talk【5】What we learn from the passage is that _________.A.different languages have different grammarB.small talk is an important part of a languageC.small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationD.in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather2.Florence Nightingale(南丁格尔) was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so ”, she smiled. And she went to learn nur sing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home . During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.【1】When she was a child, Florence ________.A.loved to travel very muchB.knew what her duty in life wasC.loved to help the sick peopleD.want to learn music and drawing in the future【2】What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse?A.Her father’s support.B.Her desire to help the sick.C.Her education in Germany and France.D.Her knowledge from reading great books.【3】During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____.A.she earned a little moneyB.work was very difficultC.few soldiers died because of her workD.she didn’t have enough food or clothes【4】 Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?A.She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B.She wrote a book on public health.C.She worked as a nurse all her life.D.She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.【5】The passage can best be described as ____.A.the life story of a famous womanB.a description of the nursing workC.an example of successful educationD.the history of nursing in England3.I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.【1】The best title of this passage probably is _______.A.Love your friends B.Live a real lifeC.Don’t waste time D.Be a good mother and wife【2】How did the author form her view of life?A.By working and social experience.B.Learning from her friends.C.Through an unfortunate experience.D.Because of her children and husband.【3】The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as ______.A.it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life.B.it is very hard to live a real lifeC.it is so easy to make a living.D.it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life.【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards work?A.Try our best to serve others.B.To earn enough money to make life better.C.Try our best to get higher position and pay.D.Don’t let it affect your real life.【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A.the author is a success in personal life.B.the author didn’t try her best to work well.C.the author spent all her time caring for her children.D.the author doesn’t travel much4.In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general populati on,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?A.It’s unnecessary.B.It does no good to human health.C.It is hated by most people.D.It will always lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.A.a low-salt diet may be good to some patientsB.the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressureC.the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patientD.an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.A.people should not be afraid of taking much excessive saltB.doctors should not advise people to avoid saltC.an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill peopleD.excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?A.They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.B.They should avoid salt as often as possible.C.They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.D.They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.【5】What is the main idea of the passage?A.The salt scare is not reasonable.B.The cause of hypertension is disclosed.C.The moderate use of salt is recommended.D.Salt consumption is to be avoided.四、书面表达书面表达(满分25分)进入高中以后,同学们的学习任务加重,对于参加课外活动,同学们有着两种不同的看法。

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析

江西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解1.A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn."Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks,or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names anddescriptionsof the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not onlycognitive(认知的)skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe"activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.【1】What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards companies claiming that their toys are educational?A.supportive B.indifferent C.uninterested D.doubtful【2】We can learn from the text that babies in the research ________.A.liked traditional toys better than electronic toysB.interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysC.talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toysD.listened to audio recordings of their parents【3】Children develop language more quickly when their parents ________.A.read them picture books often B.teach them how to speakC.buy them a lot of toys D.throw away their electronic toys【4】According to Adrienne Appell, playing ________.A.can’t take the place of learningB.shouldn’t take most of children’s timeC.is good to children’s overall developmentD.can’t develop children’s cognitiveskills2.Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all? For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And you’re not alone — all kinds of people have them.For example, Portugal’s soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said.“But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.”One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxygen so that animals can breathe” as they were when they had more time to think about their reply.It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students imagined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell(符咒) on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldn’t let the witch do it to them.So why are so many of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quite simply just want to believe,” Brian Cronk, a professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explan ations.”And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam. So, what about you? What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful?【1】The author mentions avoiding saying the word "four" in the opening paragraph to ________.A.show how foolish it is to believe in superstitionsB.introduce the readers to the topic of superstitionsC.discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitionsD.prove that it is reasonable to be superstitious【2】How many superstitious practices are mentioned in the passage?A.3B.2C.4D.5【3】What’s the author’s attitude to superstitions?A.Unknown.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Neutral.【4】What is the best title of the article?A.Why superstitions are commonB.How superstitions affect our daily livesC.How some common superstitions came into beingD.How to get rid of superstitions3.This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around £120, which will go on sale in March.【1】What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?A.People who are disabled.B.People who are interested in dancing. C.People who invented the socks.D.People who are not good at dancing.【2】What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of?A.They feel much softer than normal clothes.B.They can monitor the movement of feet.C.They are expensive to produce.D.They act as a smart phone for users.【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?A.They can improve the skill of running.B.They can help women walk better in high heels.C.They can teach people to dance well.D.They can be worn for days without washing.【4】According to Dr Vigano, _________.A.everyone can make good use of the smart socksB.users can run as fast as they like with the socksC.60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socksD.no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks4.Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same“fight-or-flight”reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict(“fight”),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation(“flight”).However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called“tend and befriend.”That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young(“tend”),and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素)released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr.Shelley E.Taylor, explained that“animals and peop le with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.”While men also secrete(分泌)oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost. The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的)system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.【1】Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.【2】What can be learned from the passage?A.Male hormones help build up the body’s resistances to stress.B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.How men and women suffer from stressB.How men and women get over stressC.How researchers overcome stress problemsD.How researchers handle stress-related disorder二、其他根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use inancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.【1】Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.A.a symbol of honor B.a symbol of powerC.protection against the sun D.protection against the rain【2】According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident__________.A.Babylon B.ChinaC.Egypt D.Rome【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily lifeB.Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle agesC.The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient timesD.The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented【4】What is the passage mainly about?A.The sales of the umbrella B.The history and the use of the umbrellaC.The invention of the umbrella D.The differences among umbrellas3.A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But nowa study has found it really does help people nod off---if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cow’s milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.【1】According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _________.A.started sleep more easilyB.were more anxiousC.were less activeD.woke up later【2】Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B.It can make people more energetic.C.It exists in milk in great amount.D.It’s used in sleeping drugs.【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Night Milk and SleepB.Fat, Sugar and HealthC.An Experiment on MiceD.Milk Drinking and Health【4】How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By providing research results.4.The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people don’t want to look in the mirror when they feel they are followingthe social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.【1】Researchers are amazed to find that ______.A.paper plates make food look nicerB.people using a fork will eat moreC.mirrors can help people lose weightD.people will eat more in front of a mirror【2】What can be inferred from the study?A.Some teenagers got involved in it.B.People were required to eat with a spoon.C.People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.D.The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.【3】According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror ______.A.makes people judge others correctlyB.makes people well judge themselvesC.is a necessary part of people’s daily lifeD.can only show the appearance of a person【4】How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?A.By making people hungry.B.By showing the social standards.C.By attracting people to healthy food.D.By causing a feeling of discomfort.二、其他Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever.

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析

江西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive.Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand moregive-and-takefrom all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.【1】According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A.road conditions B.the speed of modern lifeC.the large number of cars D.the behavior of the drivers【2】In the writer’s opinion, .A.drivers should show road politeness properly.B.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.unskillful drivers should be punishedD.drivers should avoid traffic jams【3】The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A.politeness and impolitenessB.willingness to give in to each ot her’s wishesC.offering help to others as much as possibleD.good manners and bad manners【4】What is the best title of the passage?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic ProblemsC Bad Manners on the RoadC. Good Drivers and Bad Driver二、其他根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.We strongly demand that yo u pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.Yours sincerely【1】What does the writer feel?A.Excited B.Surprised C.Angry D.Happy【2】What does the word “deteriorated” mean?A.Changed B.Improved C.Moved D.Worsened【3】What is the main purpose of the letter?A.To ask Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peace.B.To inform Mr. Barton of the noise he made.C.To talk about what Mr. Barton did.D.To give a warning to Mr. Barton.【4】Why were the police called?A.Because Mr. Barton broke two windows.B.Because Mr. Barton made too much noise.C.Because Mr. Barton’s friends fought.D.Because Mr. Barton beat a child and an old man.【5】Which is true according to the letter?A.Mr. Barton paid no attention to the others’ unhappiness.B.Mr. Barton replied to the others’ unhappinessC.Mr. Barton always said sorry to those unhappy with him.D.Mr. Barton never apologized to the other residents.2.It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.【1】The main idea of this passage is that_____.A.large numbers of people do not need sleepB.a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC.everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD.people can live longer by trying not to sleep【2】The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_____.A.to cure him of his sleeplessnessB.to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC.to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD.to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping【3】After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Herpin_____.A.needed some kind of sleepB.was too old to need any sleepC.needed no sleep at allD.often sleep in a chair【4】One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _____.A.his mother’s injury before he was bornB.that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he hadn’t got a bed【5】Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______.A.a common one B.one that could becuredC.very healthy D.a rare one3.The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a warm smile. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven years old.”"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked. She replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids and then retire(退休) and travel..."I knew she was joking. I was curious what might have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I was always interested in listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.“Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do……"【1】When the writer and Rose first met, they began their talk in a_______ way.A.serious B.polite C.formal D.humorous【2】Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “motivated” in the fourth paragraph?

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the wayHIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺结核) and malaria (疟疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A.Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countriesB.What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?C.What makes the first killer in developing countries?D.Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.【2】Felicia Knaul’s ex perience in Mexico shows that .A.many Mexican women suffer from breast cancerB.there is not enough medicine for cancer thereC.many Mexican women can’t afford medical careD.patients with breast cancer are treated differently【3】From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .A.breast cancer is a great threat to young womenB.people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancerC.breast cancer is the second killer among women in MexicoD.patients can be treated effectively in developing countries【4】Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?A.The cancer patients.B.The health experts.C.Community health workers.D.Young women.【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The number of cancer cases is decreasing.B.HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.C.Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.D.It is very expensive to treat cancer.四、其他[1] The key word is practice! Practice, practice, practice!! There is no other way. There is no magic. The way to get better at listening to English is to listen to English. That’s the not-so-good news.[2] The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.[3] Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day. You don’t want to start speaking English like a poet or songwriter. If you do listen to English songs, listen to different ones. This will help you train your ears to different voices, pronunciations and rhythms.[4] If you can, get a copy of the lyrics(歌词) so you can read them and listen to them at the same time. It is sometimes better to listen with your eyes as well as your ears—more information to help the brain.[5] Watch English DVDs. But, this time, do not use your eyes to read the subtitles (字幕). Turn off the subtitles, because movies have so many other clues about what is happening that it is better not to use the subtitles. Thisforces your ears to do the work.[6] Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to what they say and how they say it. If you can, repeat a line out loud after they have said it. Teach yourself one or more sayings, phrases or ways of talking that you will use after watching the movie.[7] A new and growing resource of English language for listening can be found in blogs. Blogs are in MP3 format and can be loaded first onto your computer and then onto your MP3 player for very convenient take-with-you listening.[8] You can find many English listening practices are fun, new, educational and in unending supply.【1】What is the main idea of the passage? (within 10 words.)_______________________________________________________________________【2】What does the underlined sentence ( in Para4 ) mean?_______________________________________________________________________【3】Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (within 2 words.)_______________________________________________________________________【4】List three ways of practising your English listening.

They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“No matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations-as little as $5 may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.【1】What is the general idea of the passage?A.The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.B.Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.C.Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.D.You can spend only $5 a day on someone else to get happiness.【2】The underlined work “boost” in the first paragraph probably means .A.help to find B.help to increase C.help to bring D.help to get【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.B.People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.C.Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.D.Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.【4】Dunn is .A.a reporter in a journal B.a volunteer in the experimentC.an employee in a company D.a psychologist at a university【5】It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that .A.the volunteers not given $5 or $20 spent their own money on themselvesB.those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about itC.the volunteers were given $5 or $20 as a reward for the experimentD.half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked3.People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.【1】The key point of the passage is that _________.A.the cause of air pollution is peopleB.the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in citiesC.the effects of air pollution range from headaches to deathD.air pollution is caused by dirty air【2】What is the purpose of this passage?A.to persuade people to stop polluting the airB.to tell the causes of air pollutionC.to tell why cities are bad places to liveD.to describe why cities are bad places to live【3】Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country?A.Because there are larger populations in cities.B.Because the air in the city is dirty.C.Because there are more cars in the city.D.Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country.【4】The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal ______.A.to corrode B.to twistC.to turn black D.to become rusty【5】In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to ___________.A.heart disease B.loss of clear visionC.lung diseases D.serious headache4.Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour,but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,people frequently change their position.The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas.You don't like to upset people,so you never express your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach,you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person.You worry a lot and you're always easily upset.You're very stubborn(顽固的),but you aren't very ambitious.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up(卷曲),you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive.You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people.You prefer to be on your own.You're easily hurt.If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.

He makes full 36 of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not 37 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 38 for truth. He always 39 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.The rise of 40 science may perhaps be considered to 41 as far back as the 42 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who live 43 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle 44 to suggest that we must learn science 45 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 46 many important discoveries.Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several greatmen, 47 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 48 to show how manyimportant 49 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 50 towards the earth than small ones, 51 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 52 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 53 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 54 of going direct to Nature, and proving our 55 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.【1】A.use B.time C.speed D.trust【2】A.worked B.based C.lived D.written【3】A.reason B.cause C.advice D.result【4】A.thinks B.checks C.has D.learn【5】A.natural B.physical C.ancient D.modern【6】A.date B.keep C.look D.take【7】A.study B.time C.year D.birth【8】A.both B.each C.between D.among【9】A.Schools B.Ages C.Days D.Count【10】A.in B.with C.on D.by 【11】A.did B.made C.took D.gave 【12】A.who B.when C.that D.where 【13】A.ways B.degrees C.levels D.chance 【14】A.truths B.problems C.people D.subjects 【15】A.slowly B.rapidly C.lightly D.heavily 【16】A.although B.because C.when D.If【17】A.place B.foot C.top D.ceiling 【18】A.big B.small C.equal D.unequal 【19】A.spirit B.skill C.theory D.discovery 【20】A.plans B.opinions C.world D.ability三、阅读理解1.Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡)are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙)because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.【1】We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.A.the government is usually the first to name a placeB.many places tend to have more than one nameC.a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD.people prefer the place names given by the government【2】What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Change suddenly.B.Change significantly.C.Disappear mysteriously.D.Disappear very slowly.【3】Which of the following places is named after a person?A.Raffles Place.B.Selector Airbase.C.Piccadilly Circus.D.Paya Lebar Crescent.【4】Bras Basah Road is named _______.A.after a person B.after a place C.after an activity D.by its shape【5】What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B.Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C.The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D.Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.2.Most students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks. They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules.However, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember process and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast.Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily.Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique "intuitive" approach to teach English grammar. Her system uses "point of view" stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules.In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with "since he was a child"; then repeated again, but this time about the future. Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak.Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study English grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.【1】Which of the following ways is approved by the author?A.Remembering grammar rulesB.Taking grammar tests.C.Analyzing grammatical structureD.Applying language to situations.【2】What does the underlined part "this way" in the fourth paragraph refer to?A.Talking to native speakers when learning.B.Learning English grammar in a complete way.C.Using correct English grammar.D.Learning English grammar 4from a teacher.【3】From this passage we learn that ______.A.native speakers learn English grammar by listening to storiesB.Blaine Ray’s method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciouslyC.Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell storiesD.i t’s hard for students to speak correct English in the new system【4】 This passage wants to ______.A.criticize the traditional way of learning grammarB.introduce a new way to study English grammarC.ask students to learn English grammar by listening to storiesD.tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar【5】why shouldn’t the English learners use an analytical approach?A.because the analytical approach can let them learn English grammar effortlesslyB.because the analytical approach makes them be able to use English correctly when they speak. C.because the analytical approach can’t let them memorize and then apply a great number of rules. D.because Real speech is too fast.3.When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance.But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.“She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.【1】When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that________.A.The baby might not grow up healthilyB.The baby might be laughed at by others.C.The baby might disappoint its motherD.the baby might have mental problems.【2】According to the doctor and nurse, the baby’s ears________.A.could not function well.B.looked the same as others.C.only caused a small problem.D.needed to have plastic surgery.【3】What is true about the baby’s mother?A.She blamed her husband for the baby’s big ears.B.She was the first to discover the baby’s large ears.C.She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately.D.She found something similar between the baby and its father.【4】 What does the underlined word they refer to?A.The ears.B.The parentsC.The doctor and nurse.D.The problems【5】What’s the function of the last paragraph?A.To advise readers to listen carefully.B.To draw a conclusion from the story.C.To criticize the wrong attitude to physical beauty.D.To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship.4.Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.【1】The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A.an object for artistic creation B.a collection of poemsC.an unusual quality D.a natural scene【2】Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because.A.they are close in style to works in ancient timesB.they look like works by 19th-century paintersC.they draw attention to common things in lifeD.they depend heavily on color photography【3】 What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A.It will not be found in future works of art.B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D.It is lacking in modern works of art.【4】 What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A.They express people's curiosity about the past.B.They make people interested in everyday experience.C.They are considered important for variety in form.D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.【5】 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A.History of the arts.B.Basic questions of the arts.C.New developments in the arts.D.Use of modern technology in the arts.四、其他You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school.School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance.Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.You need to rememb er an old saying ,“Treat others how you want to be treated.”You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so . If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier.Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests.The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.【1】What is the passage mainly about?(No more than 10 words).【2】Why is it not always easy to get along with people around you?(No more than 10 words).【3】Complete the following statement in paragraph 5 with proper words(No more than 3 words)You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so .【4】Why is tolerance important to people according to the passage?(No more than 10 words).【5】W hat does “it” refer to in the last paragraph?(No more than 3 words).五、单词拼写1.First there was England. Wales was___【1】__ to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people __【2】__England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the_ 【3】_ century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". _【4】_ this was accomplished without__【5】__ when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales __【6】__.

Do you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected thatlittle sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead trees that had grown there. He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move.In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.【1】We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting the rings of a tree trunk ____.A.from the left to the rightB.from the right to the leftC.from the inside to the outsideD.from the outside to the inside【2】If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that the weather of that year was ______.A.bad B.sunny C.favorable D.rainy【3】By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, the scientist found _______.A.why the people had to leaveB.where the people had to goC.what the people had to eatD.how the people left【4】The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of trees mainly because ______.A.trees provided an exact record of weather for researchB.trees could supply them with fruit and food to live onC.trees could supply them with shadesD.trees were materials for fires and buildings【5】By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author tries to prove .A.trees can’t live in the area without populationB.that studying trees is important for the history of man and weather.C.what the real relation is between tree rings and the history of man and weatherD.the history of man is important for the history of trees三、阅读理解1.Do you read newspapers in modern times while we have TV and other media? The first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was Daily Current, which came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started Boston Newspaper, the first newspaper published daily in the American Colonies. By 1760, the colonies had had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every year.【1】The first regularly printed European newspaper was started ______.A.in Rome in 59 BC B.in Germany in 1609C.in Amsterdam in 1620 D.in England in 1621【2】The first daily English newspaper was started in _______.A.1702B.1760C.1620D.1621【3】What can we learn from the passage_______?A. The earliest daily printed newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC.B. The first regularly published English newspaper was printed in Boston.C. The first daily English newspaper was printed in the American Colonies.D. The first American newspaper was stopped before 1704.【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage_______?A. Newspapers have the longest history in the United States.B. One English language newspaper has the largest circulation in the world.C. The first English newspaper was printed in Rome in 59 BC.D. There are all kinds of newspapers all over the world today.【5】What is the best title of the passage_______?A.History of newspapers.B.History of daily newspapers.C.The beginning of daily newspapers.D.The beginning of newspapers.2.Can you imagine learning by playing games. To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (or be against) the myth that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable to (or easy to be attacked by) house breakers, to a new one with more security." The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says,". After all, I am left with that responsibility."In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the Charge made against them is unjust.【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards only children is _______.A.ironic B.objective C.unfriendly D.unjust【2】It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.A.found a support group for their only childrenB.do volunteer work to help their only childrenC.let their only children make all the decisions aloneD.set good examples for their only children【3】Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.A.is the only one who cares about herB.doesn't want to leave her aloneC.wants to share the responsibility with herD.is worried about her safety【4】It is quite usual now for a working mother to ____________.A.spend all her time and money on her only childB.be responsible for bringing up her only childC.have and bring up only one childD.devote all her energy to her job【5】The main idea of the passage is that ________.A.only children are ruined and irresponsibleB.only children have to face many challengesC.most only children want to have brothers and sistersD.most only children share their responsibility with their parents3.No doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save theanimals. The door bell rings and there, on R uth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dres s to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within f ive minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising ?A.Charity party B.Charity postC.Charity TV program D.Charity for beggars.【2】What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean ?A.Collect together B.DonateC.Increase D.Bring to someone’s attention.【3】We can infer from the passage that .A.Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARSB.Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for othersC.Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tiredD.Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity ?A.The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to doB.The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charityC.The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice itD.The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story【5】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that .A.when you look back sometimes, you need stand outB.when you want to do something for others, you need stand outC.the moment you stand out, you can do something for othersD.what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others四、其他阅读下面短文,请根据文后的要求进行答题。

A newfilm ,Soul Surfer, is based on the story of how she overcame that to achieve her dream of becoming a professional athlete.Growin g up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾),a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved ,nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”The filmmakers used special effects to digitally re move Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding .Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.“Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?.A.Hamilton was severely injured when surfing.B.Nobody thought Hamilton could overcome the troubles.C.Rob did the breathtaking wave riding in the film Soul Surfer.D.Hamilton established the “Friends of Bethany” to help shark attack victims.【2】Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined word “tremendous” in the third paragraph? A.Free.B.Easy C.Smart.D.Strong.【3】What can we learn from Anna Sophia Robb’s words?A.She was absorbed in the story.B.she wasn’t sure she could play the role well.C.She wants to challenge her faith.D.She doesn’t believe Bethany’s story.【4】How does Hamilton hope people will be affected by her story?A.she hopes more people will take up surfing.B.she hopes people will be inspired and encouragedC.She hopes more people will keep off the sharks.D.She hopes people will donate something to her charity.【5】What can we learn from the passage?A.A lot of people are fond of surfing.B.Good things will happen to the disabled in the end.C.Faith and will power will help people go through hard times.D.People can always overcome every difficulty in life.2.It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(* person whose job is selling meat)and he's going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(*people who buy sth. from a shop).But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!【1】Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite .A.cruelly B.fairly C.kindly D.friendly【2】It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs. Smith gave it ______ .A.might do it much harm B.could do it much goodC.would help the butcher D.was worth many pounds【3】The butcher did not give any meat to the dog __________ .A.before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. SmithB.when he found that the words on the paper were not clearC.because he had sold out all the meat in his shopD.until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith【4】From its experience, the dog found that ________.A.only the paper with Mrs. Smith's words in it could bring it meatB.the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw itC.Mrs. Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcherD.a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat【5】At the end of the story, you'll find that _______.A.the dog was clever enough to write on the paperB.the dog dared not go to the butcher's any moreC.the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dogD.the butcher found himself cheated by the clever animal3.Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented.Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do.They are depending upon you to keep them safe.Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle.Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too.And never put a crying child on a ride.If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed.Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park.Let them take plenty of breaks.“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four.“Tired kids make p arents even more tired.And tired kids and parents may get hurt —physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds.“You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”【1】The second paragraph tells readers that ________.A.children should be trained to be more independentB.adults should tell children some safety rules firstlyC.adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme parkD.there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park【2】Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?A.They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.B.They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.C.They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.D.Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.【3】If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________.A.tell him to be relaxed B.make him share your interestC.give up the present activity D.encourage him to be brave【4】We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ________.A.he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his childrenB.parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme parkC.not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme parkD.visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting【5】What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?A.等待B.发现C.进入D.离开4.Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house and possessions are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me".Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do.Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.You must remember that owning a burglar alarm is no indication(暗示) that your house is packed with valuable possessions.It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.Send now for our free leaflet telling you how we can Protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply.Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us.Postage is free.Also, telephone us on 327 6721 where we have a round-the-clock answering service.It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarm. 【1】Anyone who takes an interest in the crime rate will, according to the text, be aware that ___________. A.more burglars are being caught than ever beforeB.people have more possessions to worry about nowadaysC.burglars are more at risk than they used to beD.homes are more likely to be broken into nowadays【2】It seems that people who live in cities are ____________.A.more often victims than those living in other areasB.of the opinion that statistics are wrongC.twice as well as people living in other areasD.of the opinion that burglars only rob unprotected homes【3】The article claims that possessing an alarm system will _________.A.show burglars that you have something worth stealingB.persuade burglars not to break into your houseC.make the burglars' job less complicatedD.persuade burglars to try again another time【4】In order to find out more information about this alarm system one can _______.A.buy a leafletB.write enclosing a stamped, addressed envelopeC.sign a contractD.phone at any time of day or night【5】The underlined word "Figures" in the second paragraph can be replaced by “__”.A.Pictures B.Fingers C.Numbers D.Mathematics四、其他Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop --- a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory:intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body -- and therefore brain ---is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development __________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.【1】What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 10 words)____________________________________________________________________【2】Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 4 words)Those countries that have the_________ are always at the bottom of the IQ list.【3】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)【4】What can cause intelligence difference? (no more than 8 words)【5】What does the word "they" (Line 3, Paragraph 3) probably refer to? (no morethan 8 words.五、书面表达A friend in need is a friend indeed. 是一句谚语。

He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The re scue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”【1】Why was Duret in New York?A.To meet his girlfriend.B.To spend his holiday.C.To work as an engineer.D.To visit the Andersons.【2】What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A.He was interviewed by a newspaper.B.He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C.He disappeared from the spot quickly.D.He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.【3】 Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?A.David Anderson B.A passer-by C.His girlfriend D.A taxi driver【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B.Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.C.The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D.Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.【5】What is probably the headline of this news report?A.A Careless Father B.A Poor GirlC.Warm-hearted Onlookers D.Brave Frenchman Found3.Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline(下降) when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s. “This gender(性别) difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.【1】The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”.A.health B.ageing C.long life D.effect【2】The text mainly talks about ________.A.men’s heart cells B.women’s ageing processC.the gender difference D.hearts and long life【3】According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.A.women have more cells than men when they are bornB.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC.the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD.women never lose their pumping power with age【4】If you want to live longer, you should ________.A.exercise regularly to keep your heart healthyB.find out the reason for ageingC.enable your heart to beat much fasterD.prevent your cells from being lost【5】We can know from the passage that ________.A.the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB.scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC.the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD.women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 204.After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to under stand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buynewspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴风雪) of ’96 on TV.But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance(逃避),a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred b y the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather.“Dateline”, “Frontline” , “Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.【1】Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______.A.unreal B.unbearableC.misleading D.not understandable【2】The passage implies that the author and her boyfriend live in______.A.the same city B.the same countryC.different countries D.different cities in England【3】What does the last paragraph mean?A.Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.B.Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work.C.She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.D.She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information.【4】What is the author’s attitude to the computer?A.At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it.B.She likes it because it is very convenient.C.She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.D.She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.【5】The underlined phrase “coming back out of the cave” probably means______.A.going back to the dreaming worldB.coming back home from the outside worldC.bringing back direct human contactD.getting away from living a strange life5.阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析

江西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解1.Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued th at my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was cancelled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”【1】What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Accepted happily.B.Spoke unhappily.C.Agreed willingly.D.Explained clearly.【2】 What made the author feel upset was ______.A.the tiredness after long hours in labs.B.the fear of seeing something moving.C.the feeling of being less than valued.D.the loneliness of riding the bus home.【3】The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A.he wanted to help his son build up courage.B.he was concern ed about his son’s safety.C.he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorway.D.he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone.【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Terrible Journey Home.B.My College Life.C.My Father’s Secret.D.Riding Bus Alone.2.Deaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten. Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was born deaf, and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten.“We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids,” German remembers. “Before then, I didn’t know I was deaf and that I was different.”“Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard.”said Orlando.“The other kids didn’t understand us and we didn’t understand them. But we’ve all grown up together. And today. I’m popular because I’m deaf Kids try hard to communicate with me.”Some things are very difficult for the two boys. “We can’t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can’t call a crisis service,” German said. “And we can’t order food in a drive-thru(汽车餐厅).”Despite their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a “workability”program, designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of learnin g disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, and Orlando started in November.“The other people who work here been very nice to us,”Orlando signs. “They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, bus we’ve learned a lot and we’re getting better.”The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York.【1】Orlando and German have been_______.A.to Mexico together.B.deaf since they were born.C.friends since they were very young.D.to different high schools.【2】The word “crisis” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_______.A.food.B.Emergence.C.alarm.D.quick.【3】Both boys are happy to______.A.have the opportunity to earn money.B.work at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.C.help students with learning disabilities.D.design programs for the deaf.3.WASHINGTON—There are more than 222million TVs in American homes. And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.Vespe is the head of the TV-Turnoff Network. the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week. For TV Turnoff week, American children are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year, it runs from April 23~29.“Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious (自觉的) decision,”said Vespe.Vespe said that most of the children who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not so much.“They watch more selectively. They do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place.”One girl who is turning off her TV is Sarah Foote, 9.of Virginia. Sarah admits that it won’t be too hard to give up TV. She’s allowed to watch only educational television, and he favorite show from last year isn’t on any more.Of course, there are plenty of things about TV: programs can be entertaining, even educational.Even so, some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies children and reading ,says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their children are watching. They don’t set limits on TV watching. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing to do.What message does Sarah have for other children?“It’s a very good idea. I spent a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you don’t want TV taking up all of your time.”Sarah said.【1】From the first two paragraphs we know that .A.American TV companies will be turned offB.American families have more TV sets than they needC.Vespe has persuaded most people to turn off their TV setsD.Vespe is an active person in the TV-Turnoff organization【2】As Vespe said in this passage, turning off TV a week can help children .A.forget to watch TV programmes B.improve their habits of watching TVC.place TV sets out of their bedrooms D.have part-time jobs after school【3】In some experts’ opinion .A.parents should turn off TV for their childrenB.parents should teach their children how to use TVC.children should enjoy exciting programmes on TVD.children should learn their lessons on TV【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To advise us to turn off TV sets.B.To warn parents of the danger of TV.C.To report to us a piece of news about TV.D.To praise Vespe and his organization.4.About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway specially for a new type of cars-eco-cars. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same amount of money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadsays.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters and contains a microprocessor(微处理器)that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communication device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力)they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to drivewasys, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring. 【1】In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway______.A.is too expensive to build at presentB.costs no more money than current roadsC.can provide as many data as present computersD.will bring them a large sum of money【2】The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 refers to______.A.the panels B.the inventors C.the researchers D.the vehicles【3】The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages EXCEPT_______.A.providing safer driving conditionsB.helping drivers communicate with each other while drivingC.creating and carrying clean renewable electricityD.warning drivers of various speed control problems【4】What can be the best title for the text?A.Solar-powered smart road of the futureB.The great changes on the roadwayC.The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleD.The Solar Road-a much faster road二、其他A student’s life is never easy.【1】A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you. The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane.Knowing the country.You shouldn’t bother researching the country’s hottest tourist spots or historical places. You won’t go there as a tourist, but as a student. It’ll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture.【2】You surely d on’t want to face legal problems, especially if you’re away from home.Studying their language.Don’t expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language. Before leaving your home country, take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences.【3】Doing this will also prepare you in communicating with those who can’t speak English.【4】Check the conversion(兑换)of your money to their local currency, set up your bank account so you can use it there, get an insurance, and find an apartment. The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency.Remember, you’re not only carrying your own reputation but your country’s reputation as well. If you act foolishly, people there might think that all of your country men are foolish as well.【5】A.Packing your clothes.B.Preparing for other needs.C.Most importantly, read about their laws.D.This will be useful in living and studying there.E. That would surely be a very had start for your study abroad program.F. Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you’re a foreigner.G. And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land.三、完形填空That was when my son was 6 years old.

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with (交流) people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperser’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said.”Iam a lot more outgoing.”And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.24. What does the underlined word “sentation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Hit.B. Challenge.C. Attack.D. Link.25. What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?A. She is sicker than before.B. She is more interested in animals.C. She is more sociable than before.D. She is less willing to go to college.26. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?A. By putting them in cages.B. By playing music to them.C. By attracting them with colorful food.D. By building a close relationship with them.27.Which words can best describe Mary?A. Confident and strong.B. Patient and caring.C. Sociable and healthy.D. Traditional and hard-working.CThe Mola mola(翻车鱼) is the world’s largest known bony fish. The species is native to tropical and temperate waters around the globe, and resembles a giant fish head with a tail. Rather than having a tail fin, like most fish, the Mola mola’s main body is flattened. In fact, its height is often equal to its length, which is unusual in fish. It can grow to 10-20 feet in length and height and weigh in at an average of 2,000 pounds.Its specific name, mola, is Latin for “millstone”, which the fish resembles because of its grey colour, rough texture (肌理), and rounded body. Its common English name, sunfish, refers to the animal’s habit of sunbathing at the surface of the water. The Dutch-, Portuguese-, French-,Catalan-, Spanish-, Italian-, Russian-, and German-language names mean “moon fish”, in reference to its rounded shape. In Polish it is named Samoglow, meaning “head alone”, because it has no true tail. The Chinese translation of its academic name is fan-che-yu.Its diet is extremely varied but nutrient-poor, consisting mainly of jellyfish. In order to consume enough daily nutrients, it must travel through a wide range of oceanic depths in search of its food. It has a beaked(喙状嘴的) mouth that does not totally close, so it chews its food in several stages.Its thick skin is covered in a dense layer of mucus (粘液), which is host to many kinds of parasites(寄生虫). To try and rid itself of these uninvited guests, it will often float on its side near the surface of the water, inviting birds to feast on the parasites. Similarly, it will sometimes launch its considerable body up to ten feet out of the water before crashing back down in an effort to remove some of the parasites. With its habit of floating near the surface, it often runs the risk of being hit by boats. Finally, smaller Mola molas are sometimes subject to attack by sea lions.28. Many of the Mola mola’s various names suggest _________.A. its main dietB. its enormous weightC. its habit of sunbathingD. its flattened and rounded shape29. What can we say about the Mola mola?A. It enjoys living in cold zones.B. It can almost be as tall as it is long.C. It hunts mainly at the surface of the ocean.D. It possesses a mouth that can completely close.30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The influence of the Mola mola on the ocean.B. The reasons for the Mola mola’s many parasites.C. The survival challenges relating to the Mola mola.D. The relationship between the Mola mola and birds.31. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To provide general information about the Mola mola.B. To give advice on how to protect the Mola mola.C. To increase awareness of the fragile state of the Mola mola.D. To show the advantages of the Mola moal over other animals.DRonald Reagan’s s on, Ron Reagan, wrote a memoir(回忆录),My Father at 100, as the 100th anniversary of the late president’s birth approached.The younger Reagan wrote that for most of his childhood he was an only child. His older sister Patti was off at boarding school, leaving him and his mother, Nancy, alone with the man who was to become one of the most popular politicians of all time.So, what insight would his son give us about the man many still find a mystery? He admitted early on that he was haunted(缠绕)by the inevitable question: “What are you going to tell me about him that I don’t already know?”The younger Reagan covered a lot of familiar aspects. He admitted, for instance, the well-known fact that his father could be distant and inattentive. “He was often wandering s omewhere in his own head,”he wrote.“...A paradoxical(自相矛盾的)character, my father: He was warm yet remote.”Reagan made it clear that his memoir was not political. He said it was only his attempt to understand the father with whom he grew up, a public figure and, most importantly, a human being in all his stubborn mystery.While this book is certainly not the end-all of who Ronald Reagan was, it adds many personal pieces to the Reagan puzzle.The son decided to go back to the beginning, from ancestral Irelan d to his father’s childhood in small Midwestern towns, where he discovered that the energetic and optimistic young lifeguard was much the same person who was to become his father, and then president.He cleverly jumped back and forth from his father’s life to his own, but one hungers for more stories about the young Reagan family of California, for more first-person accounts from the son who was there, like the story of his father never letting young Ron win a race in the pool.32.In Ron Reagan’s eyes, his fat her was________.A.kind but distantB. cold and impatientC. energetic but pessimisticD. hardworking and devoted33.What can we say about the book My Father at 100?A.It doesn’t relate to familiar stories of Ronald Reagan.B. It was written out of political reasons.。
