I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my tr avel is so interesting.To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination (目的地), I forget all my tiredness and worries.Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement.I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but willbecome a happier person with rich experiences.24. The passage is mainly about _____.A. how to have a comfortable lifeB. how to prepare for a tripC. why travel is so excitingD. why some people are tired of travelling25. Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?A. Because he is too busy working to read.B. Because he is so tired that he can’t read.C. Because he doesn’t like reading on the train.D. Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.26. People who travel to new places will _____.①learn new things ②become happier③get more experiences ④have more chances to readA. ①③④B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③27. The author develops the passage mainly by _____.A. giving explanationsB. giving examplesC. making comparisonsD. following the natural time orderCEveryone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it’s very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to makethem joined togethe r nicely? Many people don’t really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is in our body for so long.Luckily, there is a way to reduce the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try tostir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!28. What should you do before eating instant noodles according to the writer?A. Stir the noodles twice in really cold water.B. Stop the noodles from joining together.C. Wash away the wax coating on the noodles.D. Drink large amounts of warm or hot water.29. What’s probably the author’s attitude to eating instant noodles?A. Supportive.B. Careful.C. Happy.D. Angry.30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The instant noodle.B. The hidden danger.C. The attention.D. The wax coating.31. The author writes this text mainly to _____ .A. introduce delicious instant noodles to peopleB. tell people the danger of eating wax coatingC. help us to know the good part of wax coatingD. share with us a safer way to eat instant noodlesDAlmost every night for more than 10 years, Kirk Alexander, 48, ordered a late dinner from his local restaurant Domino’s Pizza. But for the past two weeks, he hasn’t called for even once.“A few of my staff mentioned that we hadn’t seen his order in a while. Then I found that it had been 12 days since he last ordered, which is not like him,” Domino’s general manager Sarah Fuller said, feeling she could no longer ignore Kirk’s recent absence.Sarah has known Kirk since 2009, when she started working at the Domino’s Pizza as a deliver driver and often made the short trip to Kirk’s home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong.Around 1 a.m. on May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home andknocked on the front door several times. There was no answer. He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called Kirk’s phone, it went straight to voice mail.Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived at Kirk’s home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack. One day later, they might have been too late.So is keeping an eye on regular customers pa rt of Domino’s business plan? Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said.32. Why did Sarah send a delivery driver to visit Kirk?A. Because her staff asked her to do so.B. Because she was worried about Kirk.。

In the following years, the white explorers (探险者) began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some net pierce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. Government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land. Other chiefs refused to go along with the government's plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallow a Valley(present-day Oregon)."In order to have all people understand how much land we owned, " he once explained, "my father planted poles around it and said: ' Inside is the home of my people… It circled around the graves(坟墓)of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. ' "But in 1874, the U. S. Government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation (保留地).Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.Later, fighting broke out between the Nez peace and U.S. Soldiers.

I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations" . I don't remember ever smiling so wide.Then I looked at my financial (财政的) package.The cost of Dream School's tuition (学费), room and board was around $40, 000—an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choice were good, solid schools even if they weren't as famous as my first choice.In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus (校园)including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes , activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my firstchoice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door , a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.(1) How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?A. He was full of joy.B. He was lost in his dream.C. He was worried about the money.D. He was uncertain which school to go to.(2) We can learn from the passage that the parents were.A. honestB. strictC. supportiveD. decisive(3) In Paragraph 5, "offered me a full ride " can be replaced by "" .A. would pay for transport to the schoolB. would show me around the campusC. would offer free meals at all eventsD. would charge me nothing for tuition(4) What does the author mainly want to say?A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.19、【来源】 2004年高考真题北京卷(C篇)第63~67题10分(每题2分)2019~2020学年北京海淀区首都师范大学附属中学高二上学期期中第49~52题8分It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That' more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer flood Hyde was on duty."I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens (警笛)going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Fire bird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Fire bird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Fire bird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination (目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Fire bird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about."Just about that time, " Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke andoil going everywhere.He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop.""After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running.He told me he didn't have a driver's license.(执照)"That accident cost the driver of the Fire bird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine—not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.(1) The meaning of "panicked" in Paragraph 2 is related to.A. shameB. hateC. angerD. fear(2) Why did the driver of the Fire bird suddenly speed down the highway?A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.(3) Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.(4) The driver of the Fire bird.A. took a wrong turn on the wayB. had some trouble with his carC. was stopped by the police officerD. paid for the expenses of the accident(5) What is probably the best title for the article?A.

At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of TAL#NBSP object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of "something permanence, " while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.(1) The passage is mainly about.A. babies' sense of sightB. effects of experiments on babiesC. babies' understanding of objectsD. different tests on babies' feelings(2) In Paragraph 3, "object permanence" means that when out of sight, anobject.A. still existsB. keeps its shapeC. still stays solidD. is beyond reach(3) What did Bower use in his experiments?A. A chair.B. A screen.C. A film.D. A box.(4) Which of the following statements is true?A. The babies didn't have a sense of direction.B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects.D. The babies couldn't tell a ball from its optical illusion.21、【来源】 2004年高考真题北京卷(E篇)第72~75题8分(每题2分)2019~2020学年吉林龙潭区吉化第一高级中学校高二上学期期末第32~35题8分How Long Can People Live?She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her l21 st birthday.When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world's record holder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122, so is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150—or beyond?Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers. "Calment lived to 122, so it would' surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, " says Jerry sham at the University of Texas. Steve Austad at the University of Texas agreed. "People can live much longer than we think, " he says." Experts used to say that humans couldn't live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can't we go higher? "The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it' all just guessing. "Anyone can make up a number, " says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. "Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine."Won't new anti-aging technique keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, "adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible (有弹性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the unitversity of Washington. "We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, " he says. "But a fly's never going to live 150 years , " Of course, if you became a new species (物种) one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life? "It' pretty cool to think about , " he says with a smile.(1) What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?A. People can live to 122.B. Old people are creative.C. Women are sports at 85.D. Women live longer than men.(2) According to St eve Austad at the University of Texas,.A. the average human life span could be 110B. scientists cannot find ways to slow agingC. few people can expect to live to over 150D. researchers are not sure how long people can live(3) Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity?A. Jerry shady.B. Steve Austad.C. Rich Miller.D. George Martin.(4) What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.B.

AAl was a skilled artist. One night, his older son developed a serious stomachache. Neither Al nor his wife took the condition seriously. But it was actually acute appendicitis (急性阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had realized the seriousness of the situation, Al’s emotional health became worse. Worse still, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he turned to alcohol (酒) to avoid the pain. Gradually Al became an alcoholic (酒鬼) and began to lose everything he had. Finally, Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al’s death, I felt sorry for him. “What a complete failure!” I thought. “What a totally wasted life!”As time went by, I began to rethink my earlier judgment. I knew A l’s son, Ernie, one of the kindest and most caring men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had long come from somewhere.One day I worked up my courage to ask him. “I’m really puzzled by something,” I said. “I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What did he do so that you became such a special person?”Ernie sat quietly and thought for a few moments. Then he said, “From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘I love you, son.’”What a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions (财产) behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.21. Al became an alcoholic because .A. he lost everything he had.B. he wasted his entire lifeC. his older son died and his wife left.D. he didn’t care about his younger son.22.What made Ernie such a special person?A. His sufferings in the childhood.B. His father’s deep love.C. His lovely wife and children.D. His mother’s early leaving.23. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.

One having good computer knowledge.CAfrica is home to nearly 700 lakes and rivers. It holds the largest amount of water on earth. Because of the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly.Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population.In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its size and it has almostcompletely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago.The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的). If something isn’t done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水).28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. There are about 700 lakes and rivers in Africa.B. Africa is the largest continent on earth.C. As climate changes, there is less and less water in Africa.D. Now Africa has less water than before.29. The figures in the third paragraph show ________________.A. more and more lakes are drying upB. Lake Chad was a large lakeC. how quickly water is being lost in AfricaD. Lake Chad is 4,160 square feet now30. Which of the following is NOT one of the results of the loss of water in Africa?A. African people’s daily life is affected.B. Agriculture develops quickly.C. The number of population in Africa will be smaller.D. Many people will suffer from diseases.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain why lakes and rivers are disappearing in Africa.B. To show people the results of the loss of water in Africa.C. To call on people to solve the problem of the loss of water in Africa.D. To tell people how to protect the lakes and rivers in Africa.DI am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself as 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(誓言) 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 want to tell you today: Get a life, a real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, or 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,it is action.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,and 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 lifein ways, that, if I had 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 bec ause 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,b ecause if you do,you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.32.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 wife33.How did the writer form her view of life?___A.Through social experience B.By learning from her friendsC.Through an unfortunate experience D.From her children and husband34.By the underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph, the writer really means that people tend to_______.A.make a living rather than live a real life B.work rather than enjoy lifeC.waste a lot in life D.forget the most important lesson in life35.It can be inferred from the passage that___.A.the writer is a success in personal lifeB.the writer didn't try her best to work wellC.the writer spent all her time caring for her childrenD.the writer likes traveling very much.第三部分:完形填空(共20题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并将答案写在答题卡上。

AAs the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫庭) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of hisearly works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(先辈),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.1. Beethoven did Not make a living by ___.A. teaching studentsB. giving concertsC. selling his worksD. doing business2. Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until _____.A. 1765B. 1707C. 1750D. 17163.

AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States , you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give t he correct time during the day.

Most Americans own watches.BFitzgerald, a very wealthy English man, had only one child, a son, who naturally was the apple of his eye. His wife died whe n the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted hims elf to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth was increasing all the time. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald hims elf became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully pre pared his will as to how his wealth would be settled——to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖).Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection , a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. M any of them were museum directors and private collectors ea ger to bid(出价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among w hich was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of h is son.The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders except one——the old servant who had attended to the son and loved him, a nd who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became qui et, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painti ng of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was ov er.6.

At the result of the auction, the old man would feel more t han ______________.A. sadB. surprisedC. interestedD. expectedCWe parents often take material things for love. “I give him eve rything,” a disappointed mother complains. “New shoes, video -games, and his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me re spect!”Of course, love and presents are related. Most parents work h ard to earn money. They want their children to have more tha n they did and have better lives. The problem is, most childre n don’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture——and television in particular——teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does n ot mean that a child feels loved.From a parent’s point of view, children are not thankful. But thi s has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-mighty(万能的). If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matt er of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of vie w. For example, they may dislike their parents for working lon g hours, and not realize that the parent would also rather hav e more time at home.In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to e xpress love and create memories. Reading or telling stories to gether, making music and playing games are all ways for fami lies to spend time without spending money. Traditions like rea ding favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the pur pose(达到目的). Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold b ack some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children, we ourselves become the presents we want to gi ve.11. The underlined word “them”( in Paragraph 2) refers to____ __________.A. the things parents buyB. parentsC. childrenD. bett er lives12. According to the passage, children______.A. want fewer presentsB. want presents rather than loveC. are taught to ask for moreD. can live better without their parents.13. We can judge from the passage that there is _________.A. a heavy job load for some parentsB. a lack of money in some familiesC. misunderstanding between parents and childrenD. love between parents and children14. The last paragraph of the passage means that______.A. our children are good presents to usB. we should spend more time with our childrenC. we ourselves need some presentsD. we should give more presents to our children15. The best title for the passage is .A. Family LifeB. Children’s EducationC. Love and PresentsD. Children and Parents第二节:任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017学年度七宝中学高一年级英语期中试卷第Ⅰ卷Ⅱ. Grammar(20’)ADashrath Manjhi was from village Gehlour in Gays District, one of the poorest districts of the western Indian. Poor and illiterate, he worked as farm labour on fields that ___21___(lie)on the other side of the hill. The villagers had to climb up the hill with its narrow and difficult pass ___22___(buy)even the smallest thing. Passing around it took hours.One day, Manjhi’s wife slipped on the hill and had her ankle ___23___(break)as she was bringing him lunch. Angrily, Manjhi decided to cut the hill down to the size. ___24___(lack)money, he sold off his goats to buy a hammar, chisel and rope. He even shifted his hut closer to the hill ___25___ ______ he could work day and night. Manjhi ___26___(call)a madman, but he didn’t care. He was unstoppable.Manjhi started his work more than 40 years ago. As time ___27___(pass), the villagers noticed the hill was a bit more climber-friendly. It was no longer so steep. Manjhi’s hammer and chisel had seen to it that a flat stretch had made its appearance.By the early 1980s, a three-kilometre road ___28___(make)out of the rock, ___29___ was wide enough for even vehicles to pass through. A 50-kilometer journey to ___30___(near)block headquarters of Wazirganj had now shrunk to a 10-kilometre journey!BWhy do American struggle with watching their weight, ___31___ the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests ___32___ life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as ___33___ important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, but Americans see eating as something ___34___(squeeze)between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long ___35___ the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets ___36___ they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, ___37___(decide)to write about the importance of knowing when to stop ___38___ ______ suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes ___39___ affect French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children ___40___(reach)17%—and is growing.Ⅲ. Vocabulary(20’)Directions:Complete the passage with the words given in the table. Each word can be used onlyThe selfie(自拍)stick has been become one of the most popular tools of the year, but not everyone is willing to fork out for one.Resourceful photo fans have now taken to Twitter to show ___41___ of their own home-made devices --and with hilarious results. It seems the gadgets, which hold smartphones at arm's length, can be made with a range of ___42___ from rulers and badminton racquets to baguettes.One user ___43___ sections of salami(香肠)together to create the pole, and ___44___ a T-shape with more salami and toothpicks to create a shelf for the phone to ___45___ on. While perfect for home use, the sausage selfie stick might not make it past security if you're heading abroad.Another user came up with a(n) ___46___ solution to the problem and cut a notch in a stick of bread, and put the phone in place, before holding the baguette in place to take the snap.And it's not just the kids who are skilled at it. Older generations have proved to be ___47___ resourceful with the game. A Twitter user ___48___ an image of his uncle using a garden stick to snap a photograph, in which he peers up into the lens.The only thing ___49___ in these creative homemade selfie sticks is the button to ___50___ take the picture!Public image doesn’t make money directly, nor is it anything visible. However, excellent public image is such an important thing that it is ___51___ desired by every company, enterprise, institution, etc. Public image refers to how a company is ___52___ by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders (股东), by the financial community, by the communities where it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to ___53___ extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the ___54___ of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders as stockholders, suppliers, creditors (贷款方), government officials, as well as different special groups. With some things it is impossible to ___55___ all the different publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the ___56___ of creditors and stockholders. However, it will ___57___ find resistance from employees who see their jobs threatened. On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval, while low quality products and false claims would be widely looked down upon.A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be ___58___. It is a valuable strength that usuallyis built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has ___59___ a quality image, this is not easily imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to ___60___ higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most favorable creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to achieve higher price-earnings ratio (比例) than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.Ⅳ. Cloze(30’)ASooner or later, almost everyone who travels by air—from occasional passengers to ___61___ pilots—is affected by jet lag(时差). One research study reported that as many as 94 percent of all long-distance fliers experience some form of jet lag.Crossing multiple time zones tends to disrupt(扰乱)your physical rhythms, ___62___ your natural 24-hour“body clock”which regulates your waking and sleeping hours and keeps you aligned(一致)with your ___63___.Symptoms of jet lag may include fatigue, insomnia, disorientation swollen hands and light-headedness. The symptoms of jet leg feel especially ___64___ if you fly from west to east, because it is more difficult for your body to adjust to“losing time”when you journey east than to “___65___ time”when you fly from east to west. And the more time zones you cross during your flight, the more jet lag you’re likely to experience.There are many tips to Help Avoid Jet Lag:1. Adjust your bedtime by a hour a day, a few days before your trip. Change your sleep pattern to match the ___66___ you will keep at your destination. This will help you avoid jet lag during your trip.2. Resetting your watch at the beginning of your flight may help you ___67___ more quickly to the time zone you will be visiting.3. Drink plenty of water before, during and after your flight. The air on planes is extremely dry, and some experts believe that dehydration is a(n) ___68___ cause of jet lag. Virtually everyone agrees that dehydration can make jet lag worse.4. Avoid drinking alcohol anything with caffeine during your flight. (That includes many soft drinks as well as coffee or tea.) Both alcohol and caffeine ___69___ dehydration.5. Sleep on the plane if it is nighttime at your destination. Use earplugs, headphones, eye masks or other sleep aids to help ___70___ noise and light, and a travel pillow to make yourself ___71___ so you can sleep.6. Stay ___72___ during your flight if it is daytime at your destination. Read, talk with other passengers, watch the movie, or walk the aisles to avoid sleeping at the wrong time.7. Eat lightly but strategically. Some people ___73___ various“jet lag diets,”but I’ve never found one that was worth the trouble. Still, it makes sense to eat foods that support your needs and can help you avoid ___74___“jet lag”conditions.

What’s certain, though, is that bots will be everywhere in all shapes and sizes for the following.__79__ use. Factory robots are now working together with people because of cheaper and mo re advanced sensor technology. Japan’s Kawada Industries and other companies are developing clever robots __80__ of assembling smartphone and working safely close to people. Kawada’s NextAge bot, which could pass for the robot character W ALL-E in the animated film of the same name, is one such model.

Reading Comprehension(30’)AThe big online bookseller Amazon recently announced that less than four years after introducing e-books to its catalog, it’s now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones. And this past April, Encyclopedia Britannica(不列颠百科全书),the world’s oldest and largest maker of encyclopedias announced it would no longer publish a print edition. Last week, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a survey about the use of e-books in libraries. It found that 12 percent of Americans aged 16 and older who read e-books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58 percent of those who have library cards and 53 percent of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e-books from public libraries, even though three-quarters of the libraries offer that service. Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie noted that e-book borrowing is becoming more popular at the same time that publishers-who are selling plenty of e-books and fewer hard-copy editions---are worried that free e-book check-outs at the library will hurt sales. In February, for instance, the big publisher Penguin Books stopped supplying new e-books and audio books to libraries. Penguin just reached an agreement to resume supplying one big library system in New York City, but not until six months after they are released. That way, those who want the latest books will have to buy them.So things are a little unclear in the library world when it comes to electronic books. More and more readers want them, but publishers are giving the libraries a hard time about offering them.Demand’s not the problem. Supply may soon be.91. What do 53 percent of e-book readers fail to find?A. Most libraries offer e-book service.B. They can borrow at least one free e-book.C. Borrowing e-books needs to deposit some money beforehand.D. They do not need another library card to borrow e-books.92. The publishers worry about the free e-book check-out at the library, for it will _____.A. change the reader’s shopping habitB. affect the e-book salesC. reduce the supply of audio booksD. hurt sales of hard-cover editions93. What will the publisher Penguin Books do according to its agreement with New York City?A. Resume supplying new e-books.B. Supply e-books half a year after their release.C. Offer discounted new e-books.D. Stop offering the original service.94. What does the author believe according to the passage?A. Books sales will go from bad to worse.B. The publishers will lose more money.C. The book demand and supply will return to normal.D. E-book supply can be a problem later on.95. If you are interested in underwater engineering, you will probably attend _____.A. Story ShowB. DIY Underwater Vehicle DesignC. Make your Own iPhone CaseD. Animal Kingdom for Young Ones96. Animal Kingdom for Young Ones is designed for ____.A. adultsB. children of all agesC. kids under 8 years oldD. children aged 12 and older97. What is the subject of the festival?A. SportsB. ScienceC. LiteratureD. EducationCHappiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and this is perhaps mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level wherever where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement andcommitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.98. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society99. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _____.A. a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB. great wealth with which one can buy anythingC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree that can help one achieve great success100. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _____.A. ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB. ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC. methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD. attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble101. The best title of this passage may be _____.A. What Does Happiness Consist inB. Happiness and UnhappinessC. Different Kinds of HappinessD. Causes of Happiness and UnhappinessDDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact(互动)with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. _________102_ _____ In a market, transactions(交易)may take place through barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and rice are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sail-boat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. _______103___ ___An alternative to the market system is administrative(行政的)control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue commands as to how much of each good and serviceshould be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. ____ _104______ The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each goods produced by the various firms and shared among different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy._______105_ ___ Every person’s place within the economic system is fixed by fatherhood or motherhood, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too.第Ⅱ卷Ⅵ. Translation(20’)1. 学会反思考试中的错误是考高分的关键。

Kumar said, “I had my holidays and I thought I could use the time to dig a well for my mother, who spent at least two hours to get water every day.” It took him around six weeks to dig the 45-feet deep well. In fact, Kumar’s mother and friends didn’t want him to take up the tough task, but Kumar didn’t budge .He even fractured (使骨折)his hand in the process, and then he had to get help from two workers.“I was a little disappointed when I found no water even after digging for over six weeks. Besides, I even fractured my hand. I called two professional well diggers, who dug another 10 feet,” he said. Th ey finally found water after that. Since then, the villagers have started calling him “Baahubali” (named after the hero in a Tamil movie of the same name).In order to draw water easily, Kumar tied a pulley(滑轮)over the well.

Millions of tourists visit the clock tower each year. Every hour on the hour, the famous bells ring. But starting in 2017, it will be under major repairs, and for some of that time, its bells won’t ring. Work like this hasn’t been done on it in more than 30 years.“In order to keep the clock ticking (发出滴答声), we must take time to examine and repair it,” says Steve Jaggs, who oversees Big Ben. “This project will enable us to give one of Britain’s most famous landmarks the care it badly needs.”Big Ben actually is the name of the main bell inside the clock. But the entire clock tower has come to be known by that name. People have been setting their watches to Big Ben since the bell was built in 1859 . It was an addition to the Palace of Westminster ,which was rebuilt after a big fire in 1834. The last major repair of the tower took place from 1983 to 1985.Big Ben is again showing its age. Many of the parts in the clock need repairs. The tower itself has problems , too. The repairs will also include updating (更新) the tower so that it meets current fire-safety requirement and installing(安装) an elevator. In total, the project will cost about $42 million.The project will take about three years, during which there will be no tours of the tower. The clock will be stopped while its hands and other parts are being fixed,and it’ll be silent for three months during the repair.“Big Ben is a symbol of the UK,” says Tom Brake, an office worker. “We have a responsibility to make sure that it’s in a good condition for future generations (几代人) to enjoy, just as our ancestors(祖先) protect their masterpiece well for us to enjoy.”28. What has happened to Big Ben since it was completed?A. It has gone through a big fireB. It has kept time for over 180 years.C. It has once experienced major repairs.D.

Fixing the clock’s parts.30. How long won’t tourists hear Big Ben?A. For two monthsB. For three months .C. For two years .D. For three years.31. What does Tom Brake want to say about Big Ben in the last paragraph?A. Its immediate repair is a must.B. Its repair will take generations to complete.C. We should learn from the ancestors to repair it.D. We should repair it instead of the future generations.DThe Airbus A380 is the largest passenger plane that has ever been built. It can carry more passengers and things than any other airplane and it uses less fuel and makes less noise. Itswings span about 80 meters and it has a length of 73 meters. When filled with passengers, theA380 weighs over 500,000 kilograms. The A380 can fly about 13,000 kilometers non-stop. The Boeing 747, which could carry 416 passengers, once was the biggest plane in the world.Plane makers have used special materials to keep the plane light. They say that the engines(引擎) are very low in noise—they produce about half the sound of other engines.In the early 1990s, Airbus started to design a plane that could compete with Boeing’s 747.In 2000, the first airlines ordered the new plane and in January, 2005, the first Airbus A380 was finished. The new Airbus made its first flight with Sinagpore Airlines. It flew from Singapore to Sydney on October 25, 2007 . Over 6,000 people worked on the project and up to now 14 airlines have already ordered the A380.However, there are some problems that such a big plane may cause. Are airports big enough for the plane to take off and land or can airlines sell enough tickets to fill the plane? Testing has shown that the A380 does not need longer runways. But airports may have problems getting people on and off the huge planes. Waiting lines may be very long and passengers may spend a very long time looking for their baggage(行李).32. The Airbus A380 is most well-known for its ____.A. high speedB. large sizeC. low noiseD. special materials33. Which of the following is TRUE about the A380?A. It has 416 seats in total.B. It has a weight of over 50 tons.C.It has a length of over 70 meters.D. It can fly around the globe non-stop.34. The author mentions the Boeing 747 in order to ____.A . make a comparison B. give an exampleC. describe a processD. provide more details35. Passengers of the A380 may have trouble in _____.A. booking a ticketB. getting on the planeC. moving about on the planeD. spending too long on the runways第二节: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。
