（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AOnce an old man was walking in a street with his horse. It was raining hard. The old man was cold because he was walking in the rain. He wanted to stay in a restaurant. It was a quarter past three in the afternoon. The old man got to a small restaurant. There were a lot of people in it. The old man couldn’t come near the fire. He thought and thought. At last he said to the waiters, “take some fish to my horse.”The waiter and the people were very surprised. The waiter said,”A horse doesn’t eat fish.” The old man told the waiter,” This horse is very interesting. It can sing, dance and does all kinds of things. It can eat fish, too.”So the waiter brought the horse some fish. All the people in the restaurant ran out to see the horse eat fish except the old man. Now the old man sat beside the fire.After a while the waiter came back and said,” Your horse didn’t eat any fish.”The old man said,” All right, take the fish back and put it on the table. I’ll eat it.”21. The people in the restaurant all ran out because _____.A. they wanted to see the old man.B. they wanted to see the horse eating fish.C. they had been told there came the horse.D. there was no fire over the stove.22. Indeed, the horse can neither _____ nor ____ nor______.A. walk---speak----eatB. sing---dance---sleepC. sing---dance---eat fishD. speak---walk---sit23. All the people in the restaurant rushed out_____ but______.A. to see the horse sing---the old manB. to watch the horse play games---the waiterC. to look for the horse---the old manD. to see the horse eat fish---the old man24. Why did the old man ask the waiter to take some fish to his horse? Because_____.A. his horse liked eating fishB. he was coldC. he wanted to sit by the fire, but wasn’t able to do so at first.D. he himself also liked to eat fish.BFor Christmas last year, Marie’s grandma wanted to get hersomething special. So Marie asked her grandma for her dream gift: abrand-new pair of UGG boots. All her friends had them.On Christmas morning, Marie really got a pair of boots. They fit perfectly. The quality was superb. There was only one thing missing: the tiny label (标签) on the heel that says UGG.Marie thanked her grandma. But she’s only worn those boots twice — both times to visit her grandma. “I would never wear them in public,” she says.Marie’s grandma would be heartbroken to know the truth. But at UGG headquarters (总部), a room full of sales managers would be cheering. Through clever marketing and expensive advertising, the makers of UGGs have convinced (使信服) Marie —and millions of others —that the name UGG has value far beyond what the homely slipper boots should really cost. UGGs, like North Face jackets, Nike sneakers, and other brand-name items are “status symbols”. People pay double, triple, even 10 times more for brand names than for similar items. Is a pair of $400 True Religion jeans really better than the $18 Wranglers you can get at Walmart? Maybe the quality is a bithigher. Maybe they shrink less. But are brand names really worth the exorbitant prices? Some pricey brands do, in fact, use higher-quality materials that fit better and feel nice on your skin.However, the truth is that the value of a brand has little to do with quality and a lot to do with status. A recent study by Consumer Reports found that some of the least expensive jeans are better made than the more expensive jeans. But that doesn’t matter. Wearing a certain label tells the world “I belong” or “I can afford it.”A few decades ago, the idea of a kid refusing to wear a pair of boots because the label was wrong would have seemed as crazy as talking on a phone the size of your hand. Clearly, times have changed.25. When she received the Christmas gift from her grandma, Marie seemed_____. .A. excitedB. worriedC. movedD. disappointed26. UGG’s managers would be cheering probably because of _____. .A. its particular designB. its successful marketingC. its high-quality productsD. its better customer service27. The underlined word “exorbitant” in Paragraph 5 probably means_____. .A. highB. goodC. averageD. attractive28. In the author’s opinion, people wear brand-name products as a way to _____. .A. follow the fashionB. show themselves offC. keep pace with the timesD. improve their quality of lifeCTwo travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family were rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on thehard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?”“Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things aren’t always what they seem.”the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”29.The younger angel was very angry because_____. .A. the older angel treated the two families unfairly.B. the older angel killed the farmer’s cow.C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live.D. the angel of death took the cow away.30. Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die_____?A. Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.C. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.D. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.31. The story tries to tell the reader that_____. .A. the young should always learn from the oldB. angels are always ready to help the poor.C. angels are always ready to help the rich.D. sometimes things are not what they seem.DFrom gobbling(狼吞虎咽）down turkey to spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popular—pulling the wishbone(许愿骨)—dates back centuries.The upside-down V-shaped bone is actually called the furcula(叉骨). It is a bone located between a turkey’s neck and its breast. Furcula means “little fork”in Latin. All birds have a wishbone.At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish，and then tug(用力拉). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winner's wish will come true.The practice of making a wish on a bird’s furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的）creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pick it up, stroke it for good luck，and make a wish. That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone.” The Etruscans passed the ritual (仪式）along to the Romans. Soon，the practice of making a wish on a chicken's furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend，it was so widespread that there weren't enough chickens or wishbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes.Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World. There, they found an abundance of wild turkeys.So they started using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.32. What is the best title for the passage_____.A. Turkey Tug-of-WarB. A Lucky TurkeyC. The New WorldD. The Stories of Thanksgiving33. What does the fourth paragraph focus on_____.A. How to dry the wishbone.B. The origin of this bone-pulling traditionC. The place where the ancient Etruscans lived.D. The practice of the ancient Etruscans making a wish on a turkey's furcula.34. Why did the Romans break the wishbone in two_____.A. To save money.B. To protect chickens.C. To create an I-shaped wishbone.D. To give more people the chances to make wishes35. Where was a turkey tug-of-war probably served as a Thanksgiving tradition first_____.A. In America.B. In the UK.C. In ancient Rome.D. In northern Italy.第二节（共5小题，每题2分，总分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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I think the job is getting to be too much for me.”“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said, “If that’s OK,” Mark added.“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.” Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later.”Jamie hesitated but Mark remembered what happen ed last summer when Mr. Dunn’s collie (牧羊犬), Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. “Hold on, Mark. I’m coming !” “Goldie” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood from as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed, “It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they?”And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. He smiled and waved at Mrs. Grady, then his shovel deep into the snow.“Hey!” Jamie shouted. “What are you doing?” Mark couldn’t explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors. “I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,” he said.24. Why did Jamie and Mark plan to clear the snow for Mrs. Grady at first?A. To help the lady.B. To do volunteer work.C. To earn pocket money.D. To visit New Kingdom.25. Mrs. Grady couldn’t pay them most probably because _____.A. she didn’t have enough cashB. she couldn’t find the bankC. she thought it was worthlessD. she couldn’t afford it26. According to the story, which of the following words can be used to describe Mrs.Grady?A. GreedyB. IndifferentC. MeanD. Helpful27. Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story?A. A penny saved is a penny earned.B. Kindness is repaid with kindness.C. A clear conscience is a sure card.D. Actions speak louder than words.CAll networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because 5G will be reachable in the near future. So, what’s so special about a 5G future? First of all, its download speed can be as fast as 20 GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times that of 4G. but what’s more impressive is 5G’s low delay rate. Now, 4G takes an average of 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.5G is a great breakthrough. It’s going to change the way equipment connects to the Internet, and more importantly, to each other. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. human reaction time is 200 milliseconds, yet we still have accidents every day. The self-driving car under a 5G network could react and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within 1 millisecond. It’ll play a great role in preventing car accidents and ending traffic jams completely.5G can benefit us in many other ways. Operations could be performed by robots controlled by experts from the other side of the world. Therefore, more lives will be saved in time. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their tasks to each other, and they can do more work efficiently over a 5G network. Imagine a group of drones (无人机) flying over a field of crops, using sensors (传感器) on the ground to sort, pick, feed, and water plants all on their own. Then farmers won’t have to work so hard anymore.But, 5G is not perfect. One major disadvantage has to do with why it’s so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the signal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it can’t even go through walls or rain. So, what does that mean? Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of transmitters (信号发射塔) in the future?28.How does the author show us 5G’s advantages in Paragraph 1?A.By giving examples of the uses of 5G.B.By analyzing 5G’s development from 4G.C.By explaining the scientific principles of 5G.D.By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.29.According to the author, the self-driving cars will _______.A.cause more car accidentsB.slow down 5G’s developmentC.run without being connected to the InternetD.have a much faster reaction speed than humans30.What does the underlined part “be staffed by robots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Be built by robots.B. Have robots as workers.C.Offer employees home robots.D. Produce more medical robots.31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The main weakness of 5G networks.B.How to make 4G networks more perfect.C.The types of long waves and short waves.D.How to improve the signal of mobile phones.DScientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles (颗粒) in Arctic snow. A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples (样本) from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland. When the researchers examined the samples in a laboratory, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study. She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals. “I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels. We really need to know what effects microplastics have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.” Bergmann said.32. Why did scientists collect samples from so many places in Paragragh 1?A. To make the research convincing.B. To attract people to explore there.C. To measure the length of microplastics.D. To examine the samples easily in the lab.33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The risks of microplastics.B. The transport of microplastics.C. The breakdown of plastic products.D. The description of microplastics.34. What did the research team find about microplastics?A. Many people threw them away at the Alps.B. They were delivered to remote areas through air.C. They could be caught sight of in the air.D. They had no great effect on the environment.35. What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph?A. Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics.B. We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.C. The effect of microplastics on human must be urgently researched.D. There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AJust imagine lying down on your bed in a hotel room with fishes quietly paying you a visit. Yes, we are talking about spending days and nights under water. As exciting as it sounds, we have figured out some of the world’s best underwater hotels for you.ATLANTISThe hotel is located in Dubai. You can simply relax while seeing various marine(海洋的) animals in their natural habitat. Mother Nature here is just a curtain away. Atlantis also has a hotel in the Bahamas, which is as famous as this one in Dubai.JULES UNDERSEA LODGEA very popular place among famous people, Jules is a place for visitors who are often looking for thrills in a vacation. Located on the Lodge off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, Jules requires its visitors to take a course in scuba diving(水肺潜泳) as the entrance is 21 feet into the water. It is one of the oldest underwater hotels. UTTER INNThe hotel is artist Mikael Genberg’s baby. Utter Inn offers bedrooms that let the visitors sleep peacefully under the waters of Malaren. These rooms are quite comfortable and give the guests a unique one-to-one interaction(互动) with marine animals.CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND RESORTNow many people have a fear of water, which leads to their anxiety problems. If you are this kind of people, but still want to experience marine activities around you, then Maldives is the place for you. This is not exactly located underwater but yes, Conrad has a dining room underwater that offers some great food with marine activities happening around.21. People have to receive special training before going to________.A. AtlantisB. Jules Undersea LodgeC. Utter InnD. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort22. What do the four hotels have in common?A. They are not suitable for non-swimmers.B. They are designed for visitors to get close to the sea.C. They organized underwater activities with sea animals.D. They offer a peaceful and comfortable living environment.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce beautiful places for holidays.B. To explain do’s and don’ts in special hotels.C. To support underwater activities during vacations.D. To share interesting underwater hotels with tourists.BIt isn’t unusual for Hannah Murphy to arrive at workplace and find that her classroom or work building has no power. In some parts of the world, this might be an excuse to put off or cancel classes. However, Murphy, who is among the U.S. educators teaching abroad in the English Language Fellow Program, is used to experiencing this situation.“My team is in Mekelle, Ethiopia. I work at Mekelle University. Now I am teaching freshmen, who are always fun and ready to take part in classroom activities. I feel happy with them,” Murphy explained. “I take the mini-bus to work, greet the university guards(门卫) and come into my office. Then I go to the classroom buildings. Students are often waiting in the classroom when I arrive, and then we begin moving desks around and get ready to start class.”“I was originally encouraged to apply for the English Languag e Fellowship by David Bell, my teacher then,” she said. “I’m thankful that he encouraged and supported me throughout the application, interview and acceptance process.” Since Murphy came to Mekelle, she has kept in touch with three of her Western instructors: Gloria, Joanne and Carla. “They were important in my work. They continuously offered advice, and shared their experience with me,” said Murphy.Although Murphy’s first 10-month Fellowship is to end this summer, she will continue to share her teaching in Ethiopia. She has accepted an offer for a second 10-month Fellowship in Ethiopia.“I immediately fell in love with Ethiopia. Everyone I met was unbelievably generous and wanted to make sure I felt safe and happy. Of course there was a period when I wasn’t used to my new life here. However, I have some local friends who helped me deal with cultural differences, as well as other friends who taught me the language,” she said.24.How does Murphy probably feel when her work building has no power?A.ScaredB. SurprisedC. NervousD. Calm25.After this summer, Murphy is likely to ________.A. share her teaching in her own countryB. write a book about her experienceC. continue working in EthiopiaD. travel to other countries26.When Murphy first arrived in Ethiopia, she _______.A.got used to the life there quicklyB.could hardly find anyone to help herC.met many problems in culture and languageD.had little trouble communicating with local people27.The passage mainly talks about ________.A.the terrible living conditions in EthiopiaB.Murphy’s teaching experience in EthiopiaC.Murphy’s special ways of teaching in EthiopiaD.The cultural differences faced by Murphy in EthiopiaCWith climate change and overfishing threatening our oceans, it is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely observe and check sea animals and plants. However, it’s almost impossible to make it since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to the robot, aka SoFi, researchers may be able to solve the problem.Built by MIT’s laboratory, the snow-white remote-controlled robot simulates fish, complete with a flexible(灵活的) tail that moves from side to side and two “fins(鳍)”.When the robot is under the sea, a motor is pumping water into a pair of balloon-like rooms located in the robot’s ta il. These rooms operate similarly to the key parts in engines. As one room expand, the tail bends(弯曲) to one side; when the motor pushes water to the other channel, the tail bends in the other direction. Thus the robot gains the ability to move to where it wants to go.SoFi solves many of the problems that have affected the usefulness of previous(以前的) robots—some types of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs).AUVs traditionally often have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. So researchers use sound waves. The new technology can travel greater distances, allowing drivers, by using a controller, to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. SoFi can move around the ocean, unaffected by ropes. Also limiting trad itional AUVs’ usefulness is the danger of hitting something, like hard stones. With the outside made of rubber and plastic that can keep its built-in electronics dry, SoFi can effectively avoid hitting. So a soft robot is more likely to survive a potential crisis.During test dives in Rainbow Reef, SoFi swam alongside the unsuspecting ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, obtaining high-quality photos and videos. More importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. Researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot in curiosity(好奇), while at other times they appeared to completely ignore its existence. “It’s not perfect, but we’re improving it. Our efforts will pay off,” says Robert Katzschmann.28. The robot SoFi is created to ______.A. observe climate changeB. catch fish and observe themC. help to monitor sea creaturesD. prevent overfishing in oceans29. What does the underlined word “simulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Is modeled after.B. Is designed for.C. Is connected with.D. Is applied to.30. Wha t’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The shape of SoFi.B. The application of SoFi.C. The structure of SoFi’s tailD. The theory of SoFi movement.31. The materials for SoFi’s outside help SoFi to _______.A. stay safe underwaterB. take high-quality photosC. stay deeper under the seaD. better attract sea creaturesDFrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You can be a success only if you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem(自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather. You can control your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for letting out expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.32. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they______.A. are easily affected by windy weatherB.are ready to change their mindsC. don’ t have the power to face their fateD. can’t control themselves33.Losers would think that ______.A. their failure is only because of bad luckB. they don’t make efforts to succeedC. working hard will lead to successD. success is the result of hard work34. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that______.A. success is a chanceB. we are what we make usC. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindD. developing confidence is the only way to future success35. The last paragraph serves as______.A. the proof of the author's pointsB. an introduction to another topicC. the conclusion of the argumentD. a comparison between two views第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHenry Ford was the first person to build cars which were cheap，strong and fast．He was able to sell millions of models because he could produce them in large numbers at a time；that is，he made a great many cars of exactly the same kind．Ford’s fath er hoped that his son would become a farmer，but the young man did not like the idea and he went to Detroit（底特律）where he worked as a mechanic （机械师）．By the age of 29，in 1892，he had built his first car．However，the car made in this way，the famous “Model T” did not appear until 1908，five years after Ford had started his great motor car factory．This car showed to be well-known that it remained unchanged for twenty years．Since Ford’s time，this way of producing cars in large numbers has become common in industry and has reduced the price of many goods which would otherwise be very expensive．21．Henry Ford was the man to build _____ cars．A．strong and slow B．cheap and longC．fast and expensive D．cheap and strong22．Ford was able to sell millions of cars，because_____．A. he made lots of cars of the same kindB. his cars are manyC. he made many great carsD. both A and B23．The young man became a mechanic，_______．A．which was against his father’s willB．which was against his own willC．which was his father’s willD．which was the will of both24．The “Model T” was very famous_____．A．before 1908 B．between 1982 and 1908C．after 1908 D．before 189225．Ford built his own car factoryA． in 1913 B．in 1908 C．in 1903 D．in 1897BA woman from Japan, who had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City, was telling a friend about her trip to the US. "I studied English before I left home. But I still was not sure that people were speaking English."Her problem is easy to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. They have a language of their own. Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry. One such saying is get your act together.When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may shout, "Stop making mistakes. Get your act together." Or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, "Let us get our act together." Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. Perhaps one o f the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, "Calm down, now. Get your act together." Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s. He says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together.Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. One company even called its yearly report, "Getting Our Act Together."26. Paragraph 1 is written mainly to .A. tell us the Japanese woman's English is poorB. tell us it is important to grasp spoken EnglishC. lead to the subject in the whole passageD. tell us traveling in the US is very difficult27. The reason why the woman was not sure that people were speaking English was that .A. they speak too fast to followB. they have some special words and expressions of their own in their fieldC. they didn't want the woman to learn their experienceD. they are from theater and movie industry28. We can infer that the saying "get your act together" .A. began from movie industryB. was created by word expert James Rogers in the 1970sC. was first used by the Manchester Guardian newspaperD. is used commonly in businesses and investment companies at present29. The best title for the passage is .A. Di fferent Countries, Different LanguagesB. The Experience in the USC. How to Learn English WellD. The Word and Its Story: Get Your Act TogetherCIndia has many festivals, with some celebrations that last for weeks. However, none of them come evenclose to Holi, India’s most colorful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the fu ll moon, thisyear’s festival happens to be on March 19th.As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe—Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to be immune(免疫的) to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with herinside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika isburned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to cleanthe air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil.So what’s so great about this day? While there are some fun parades(游行) and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing(泼洒) people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody is fair game, no matter how old or how young.At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and a well-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.30. Why does the king dislike his son Prahlada?A. Because Prahlada doesn’t love him.B. Because Prahlada loves Lord Vishnu.C. Because Prahlada is rude to Holika.D. Because Prahlada concentrates on his own success.31. The underlined phrase “fair game” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person who __________.A. fights against others fairlyB. enjoys splashing peopleC. is the aim of splashing waterD. plays a trick on others32. After the fun activities, people living close to oceans or rivers often take a bath because __________.A. going home with colored water means bad luckB. they have got dirty with dry colors and colored waterC. they believe clean water will bring good luckD. taking a bath shows their true love for Lord VishnuDriver WantedDrive for busy restaurant some evening and weekend workAll meals are freeRing 33335678 House for Sale￥350, 000, built in 1995The house with 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen and a breakfast room.

（注意：从21题开始涂卡）。
AJust imagine lying down on your bed in a hotel room with fishes quietly paying you a visit. Yes, we are talking about spending days and nights under water. As exciting as it sounds, we have figured out some of the world’s best underwater hotels for you.ATLANTISThe hotel is located in Dubai. You can simply relax while seeing various marine(海洋的) animals in their natural habitat. Mother Nature here is just a curtain away. Atlantis also has a hotel in the Bahamas, which is as famous as this one in Dubai.JULES UNDERSEA LODGEA very popular place among famous people, Jules is a place for visitors who are often looking for thrills in a vacation. Located on the Lodge off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, Jules requires its visitors to take a course in scuba diving(水肺潜泳) as the entrance is 21 feet into the water. It is one of the oldest underwater hotels.UTTER INNThe hotel is artist Mikael Genberg’s baby. Utter Inn offers bedrooms that let the visitors sleep peacefully under the waters of Malaren. These rooms are quite comfortable and give the guests a unique one-to-one interaction(互动) with marine animals.CONRAD MALDIVES RANGALI ISLAND RESORTNow many people have a fear of water, which leads to their anxiety problems. If you are this kind of people, but still want to experience marine activities around you, then Maldives is the place for you. This is not exactly located underwater but yes, Conrad has a dining room underwater that offers some great food with marine activities happening around.21. People have to receive special training before going to________.A. AtlantisB. Jules Undersea LodgeC. Utter InnD. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort22. What do the four hotels have in common?A. They are not suitable for non-swimmers.B. They are designed for visitors to get close to the sea.C. They organized underwater activities with sea animals.D.

To share interesting underwater hotels with tourists.BIt isn’t unusual for Hannah Murphy to arrive at workplace and find that her classroom or work building has no power. In some parts of the world, this might be an excuse to put off or cancel classes. However, Murphy, who is among the U.S. educators teaching abroad in the English Language Fellow Program, is used to experiencing this situation.“My team is in Mekelle, Ethiopia. I work at Mekelle University. Now I am teaching freshmen, who are always fun and ready to take part in classroom activities. I feel happy with them,”Murphy explained. “I take the mini-bus to work, greet the university guards(门卫) and come into my office. Then I go to the classroom buildings. Students are often waiting in the classroom when I arrive, and then we begin moving desks around and get ready to start class.”“I was originally encouraged to apply for the English Language Fellowship by David Bell, my teacher then,”she said. “I’m thankful that he encouraged and supported me throughout the application, interview and acceptance process.” Since Murphy came to Mekelle, she has kept in touch with three of her Western instructors: Gloria, Joanne and Carla. “They were important in my work. They continuously offered advice, and shared their experience with me,” said Murphy.Although Murphy’s first 10-month Fellowship is to end this summer, she will continue to share her teaching in Ethiopia. She has accepted an offer for a second 10-month Fellowship in Ethiopia.“I immediately fell in love with Ethiopia. Everyone I met was unbelievably generous and wanted to make sure I felt safe and happy. Of course there was a period when I wasn’t used to my new life here. However, I have some local friends who helped me deal with cultural differences, as well as other friends who taught me the language,” she said.24.How does Murphy probably feel when her work building has no power?A.ScaredB. SurprisedC. NervousD. Calm25.After this summer, Murphy is likely to ________.A. share her teaching in her own countryB. write a book about her experienceC. continue working in EthiopiaD. travel to other countries26.When Murphy first arrived in Ethiopia, she _______.A.got used to the life there quicklyB.could hardly find anyone to help herC.met many problems in culture and languageD.had little trouble communicating with local people27.The passage mainly talks about ________.A.Murphy’s teaching experience in EthiopiaB.the terrible living conditions in EthiopiaC.Murphy’s special ways of teaching in EthiopiaD.The cultural differences faced by Murphy in EthiopiaCIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.28. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1?A. Feel shy.B. Stay calm.C. Keep up.D. Feel upset.29. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.A. attitude is everythingB. problems cause troublesC. challenges can be avoidedD. personalities are built on failures30. According to the last paragraph, when we’re in trouble, we ______.A. can only depend on our parentsB. are not aloneC. should only believe ourselvesD. are not confident31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Avoid ProblemsB. Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreDA new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburghg’s School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues.“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults. Levenson noted that these young adults are possi bly the first “generation to grow up with social media. ”The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Face book, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also “visited various social media 30 times per week. ”Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleepdisorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be the most effective.32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The researchers focus on social media.B. The researchers manage to handle sleep problems.C. Social media affects sleep.D. Doctors treat young patients.33. When treating sleep problems, doctors are advised to_______.A. offer some advice about giving up social mediaB. ask the patients about young adults’ use of social mediaC. give young adults some medicineD. ask about the patients' living conditions34. How did the researchers mainly carry out the study?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By doing online research.C. By collecting published data.D. By giving an example.35. What can be inferred from the text?A. Men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women.B. People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder.C. Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely.D. Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Neill Park vs Robinson and Eastside Central vs Light HillD. St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBWhen I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble —a word game —against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything she has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing（文字处理）. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.“Are you demanding this with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy（过敏反应）. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last month than we’ve had in the past 20 years.24. What does the author do?A. She is a cook.B. She is a teacher.C. She is a housewife.D. She is a computer engineer.25. The author decided to give her mother a computer ________.A. to let her have more chances to write lettersB. to support her in doing her homeworkC. to help her through the bad timesD. to make her life more enjoyable26. The author asked her mother to write her a letter ________.A. because her mother had stopped using the telephoneB. because she wanted to keep in touch with her motherC. so that her mother could practice what she had learnedD. so that her mother could be free from housework27. After the computer was brought home, the author’s father ________.A. lost interest in cookingB. took more phone callsC. played more gamesD. began to use itCAt an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach（蟑螂）flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cock-roach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue. The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it’s not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle thedisturbanc e caused by the traffic jam. More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the prob lem that creates chaos in my life.I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond（回应）. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress re sponded. Reactions are always instinctive（本能的）while responses tend to be well thought out.28. What happened in the outdoor restaurant?A. A cockroa ch was found in a woman’s food and then a man found the same problem.B. A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.C. A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.D. A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.29. According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you should __________ in your car.A. complain your delayB. feel upset and annoyedC. relax yourself by listening to musicD. expect someone to clear the road30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word“chaos” in Paragraph 5 ?A. disorder.B. success.C. poverty.D. violence31. What does the passage tell us?A. Speak less, do more!B. Actions speak louder than words!C. Mind your manners while in a restaurant!D. Don’t react just from your feelings; respond positively!DFrom sleeping standing up to shutting down half of their brain, animals have some strange sleeping habits.Now some of these unusual habits, from napping giraffes to birds that sleep while flying, have been shown in a chart. This chart shows that little brown bats are very lethargic, sleeping for around 19.5 hours per day.This long period of sleep is thought to be a way of conserving energy and it means brown bats only hunt for a few hours each night when their insect food is available. In contrast, giraffes can go weeks without sleep because these large and slow-moving animals are constantly easy to the attacks from predators.However, other animals are experts at multitasking and can swim or fly while sleeping. For example, dolphins and whales sleep while keeping half of their brain alert（警觉），so they don’t drown, with dolphins typically napping for around 10 hours a day. The method is known as “logging” and it has been observed in bottlenose dolphins, which keep half of their brain at a low level of alertness. This allows the dolphin to keep enough consciousness to carry on breathing through its blowhole.While sea otters aren’t alert while they sleep，they form rafts so they are not separated from each other. The creatures sometimes hold hands or paws when they sleep and typically eat, sleep and rest while floating in groups of rafts.32. The und erlined word “lethargic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_____.A. sleepyB. inactiveC. energeticD. movable33. Why do little brown bats have a long period of sleep?A. To avoid sunshine.B. To save more energy.C. To relax themselves.D. To wait for their insect food.34. How do dolphins avoid drowning while sleeping?A. By taking extra naps.B. By holding hands or paws.C. By keeping half of their brain alert.D. By breathing through their blowholes.35. What do sea otters do in order not to be separated from each other?A. They don’t sleep.B. They float on rafts.C. They floa t in groups.D. They hold hands all the time.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。

商丘市一高20232024学年第一学期期中考试高三英语时间：100分钟总分：120分第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题分，满分分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.Rain WaterRain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.Awakening of InsectsAs the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to e back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth bees wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.Spring EquinoxSpring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.Grain RainGrain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms bee more frequent.21.What can we know about Rain Water?A. River water starts to freezeB. Taking off the thick coats is advisableC. Lively springlike scenery can be seenD. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.22. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in mon?A. Farming seasonB. Animal activitiesC. Air temperatureD. Frequent thundering23. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?A. Rain WaterB. Grain RainC. Spring EquinoxD. Awakening of InsectsBI was living with my grandparents at the time. Our grandparents had recently retired. While they’d managed to save enough to buy a home, they were short on living expenses.So, our grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the entire buildingclean was a stressful job for one man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school, sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small wage.When winter arrived, he fired up the school’s furnace (火炉). He quickly realized how difficult it had bee for him to shovel (铲) the huge pile of coal chips required to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a mitment that required me to set my alarm clock an hour earlier each morning. I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I’d go home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I’d head back to school, always at the last minute.It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower. On two mornings, at the very instant I stepped onto the sidewalk in front of the school, the first bell rang. That was the signal for students to head to class. This astonishing coincidence caused me to improve my precision. I carefully planned each phase of my morning activity. I paced myself. Often I’d step onto the school’s sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This acplishment gave me enormous pride — and some strange feelings.Decades later, at a school reunion, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, who had been in charge of ringing the bell by pressing a button in his office. I couldn’t resist boasting (吹嘘). I told Mr. Spiry about how well I had ordered my plex morning work back then, how my timing had been faultless. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you recall that my office windows looked out over the front of the building? I often saw you ing. And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell.”24. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?A. Grandparents’ lack of living expensesB. Granddad’s retiring as a doorkeeperC. Grandparents’saving money to buy a houseD. Granddad’s hardships in cleaning the whole building25. Why did the author get up earlier every morning?A. To avoid being late for schoolB. To help his granddad clean classroomsC. To fill coal into the school’s furnaceD. To volunteer to empty waste baskets.26. What talent did the author find about himself?A. He had the ability to be on timeB. He was good at morning activitiesC. He could do things at his own paceD. He could fire up the furnace alone27. How would the author feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said?A. ProudB. SurprisedC. CautiousD. RegretfulCFor me, a large part of growing from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitudes towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about staying “in shape” and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time.Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We’re supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average person. It’s simply not attainable.I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It’s a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time.Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love things you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body —it’s just a body.Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am grateful that my body allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance.Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can e after, but neutrality is a good place to start.28. Why did the author change her attitude towards appearance around middle school?A. Because she was influenced by othersB. Because she began to dislike her bodyC. Because she thought it important to stay in shapeD. Because she failed to meet her school’s standards29. What is the author’s attitude towards body positivity?A. SupportiveB. DoubtfulC. PrejudicedD. Indifferent30. What does body neutrality promote?A. Pursuing perfection in terms of body imageB. Trying to change your appearance constantlyC. Loving every part of your body unconditionallyD. Accepting your body as it is without judgment31. What is the suggested mentality towards your body?A. Ignoring its limitationsB. Focusing on appearanceC. Being grateful for its capabilitiesD. Being critical of its imperfectionsDConsider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake —or at least a lack of handeye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other nowextinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharpedged tools that they used to but cher animals and cut edible plants.To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nutcracking stones used by a troop of longtailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed usewear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional byproducts of other pounding activities.Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.32. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakesB. Longtailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nutsC. Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stonesD. The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools33. Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?A. To provide specific proofB. To clarify a plex conceptC. To present an interesting factD. To make a detailed parison34. What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study?A. Why macaques create flakesB. Why hominins used stone toolsC. How macaques cut food with flakesD. How hominins began using flakes35. What is the best title of the passage?A. A mistake: the origin of human technologyB. Flake technology: from macaques to homininsC. Pounding activities: on human evolutionary courseD. A missing link: longtailed macaques create flakes .第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分分）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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In nineteenth-century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend (融合) into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundreds or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.

AAmericans like to travel on vacations. Today more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast for the next morning.Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms. Others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms while others do.Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the area and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationists say they enjoy the chance to meet local families.21. Where do more and more travelers in the USA like spending nights? ________.A. At hotelsB. In the open airC. In their carsD. At small houses or inns22. How many years have the bed-and-breakfast places been popular in the USA?________.A. For five yearsB. For one yearC. For five to ten yearsD. For ten years23. American travelers like staying at bed-and-breakfast inns because ________.A. these inns are cheapB. these inns are smallC. they can meet and talk with the local peopleD. both A and CBCold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have c lean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.24. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1? ________.A. They are often forgotten by their ownersB. They like to stay in warm placesC. They build their won sheltersD. They are used to living outdoors25. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?_______.A. To help them find sheltersB. To keep them companyC. To know when to bring them insideD. To keep them from eating bad food26. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ________.A. get lost in the wildB. run short of clean waterC. dig deep holes for funD. make the water in the bowl dirty27. What is the purpose of this text? ________.A. To give practical adviceB. To solve an argumentC. To tell an interesting storyD. To present a research resultCOnce when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演). Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents. The children were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before.The father and the mother were ahead standing, proud as they could be.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets.”The ticket lady told him the price.The man’s wife lowered her head and there was no longer a smile on the man’s face.The father leaned a little closer and quietly asked, “How much did you say?The ticket lady again told him the price.The man obviously didn’t have enough money. How could he turn around and tell his eight kids that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus.Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not rich in any sense of the world!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his and pressed tightly onto the bill, and with his lips trembling and tears streaming down his cheeks, he replied, “Thank you, thank you , Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we did n’t go without.28.Why did the smile on the man’s face disappear after he spoke with the ticket lady? ________.A. He had lost his moneyB. His children were noisyC. The tickets were sold outD. The tickets were too expensive29.We can infer from the text that the writer’s father didn’t give the money to the father directlybecause ________.A.he didn’t want to hurt the man’s pride and respectB.he wanted to make the father feel ashamedC.he was not very willing to help the manD.he wanted to pretend to be very wealthy30.We can conclude from the last sentence of the story that ________.A.they had never gone to the circus ever sinceB.they felt it a pity that they didn’t go to the circusC.they felt they would be scolded for their behaviorD.they didn’t feel bad though they didn’t go to the circus31. What’s the best title of the text? ________.A. A pity of mineB. Something bad as a childC. A $20 billD. Relationship among peopleDHave you read this before? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at the school and your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, yet when you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.Why did you have a bad day? Did the coffee cause it? Did your daughter cause it?Here is what could have and should have happened.Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.Notice the difference? Two different scenarios（剧情）. Both started the same. Both ended different.32. From the text, what happens after the coffee incident? ________.A. The couple have an argumentB. The mother gets to work lateC. The father has a traffic accidentD. The daughter finishes breakfast soon33. The author use the example ________.A. to compare different attitudesB. to prove the 90/10 principleC. to give advice on self-controlD. to show the importance of harmony34. T he underlined word “wedge” in Paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by ________.A. improvementB. advantageC. disadvantageD. wound35. According to the text, ________ leads to the different endings.A. your coffeeB. your familyC. your reactionD. your experience第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different experiences.One such example is the word matter. In fact，matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Let's get to the heart of the matter—a matter of principle(原那么)．If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50，but you don't，a friend might say，“Well，you could pay him the $50.It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.〞 But if you do not owe him the money，do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choices of words.If you ask someone，“What's the matter？〞，it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying，“What's the matter with you？〞 has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude. In fact，when you say，“What's the matter with you？〞，you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say，“It doesn't matter to me.〞Here，it depends on the context，and how you say it.Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with，“It doesn't matter to me.〞 Here，it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying，“Oh，you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.〞 does not sound rude. In the situation，“it doesn't matter〞 shows you are easy－going.No matter how you look at it and what you say，matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter. 21．We can infer from the text that the word matter ____.A．has a wide use B．can mean moneyC．is the most used English word D．has the most different expressions22．What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4？A．Every penny counts. B．Stick to what is right.C．Follow your friend's advice. D．Be careful when making friends. 23．The author develops the text mainly by ______.A．using examples B．giving instructionsC．describing his experiences D．discussing research findingsBDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometim es the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task〞. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task〞 again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought〞. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易发觉的) way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander. 24．The “unusual-use task〞 in Paragraph 2 means that participants ______.A．complete an easy taskB．complete a very difficult taskC．take a 12-minute breakD．think of various ways to use an object25．Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?A．They were not actively working to solve the easy task.B．They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.C．They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.D．They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.26．What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought〞 in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.B．Your brain knows clearly what you’re thinking and doing.C．Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.D．Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world. 27．The passage mainly wants to tell us that ______.A．brainstorming is important to creative ideas.B．daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.C．problem-solving skills are important in our lives.D．the more we exercise brains, the more ideas we’ll get.CI once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own—and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist〞.An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing;I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings,〞 wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effe ct of rapt attention.〞I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise〞. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality,I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.28. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer__________.A. was deeply moved by the botanist’s talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly29. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.30. According to Jack Woodford, most of us like the sweet effect of .A. full understandingB. strong interestC. great uncertaintyD. little curiosity31. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristicof a good conversationalist?A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.B. Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.DA jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are employed,"he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in,as well as date when you may start." The man replied, "But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail." "I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And whoever doesn't exist cannot have the job."The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollarsin his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital(资金). He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers〔零售商〕in the US.He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded， the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, "I don't have an e-mail." The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?" The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"32.The jobless man was refused because ______.A. he had no moneyB. he didn’t have an e-mail addressC. he was lazyD. he didn’t exist33. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The man is one of the biggest food retailers in the world.B. Those who have e-mails can work at Microsoft.C. He started his career by selling tomatoes in the supermarket.D. The man didn't give up though he failed the interview.34. The man can be described as _______.A. helpful and considerateB. positive and generousC. smart and hardworkingD. stubborn and unselfish35. Which proverb can best describe the story?A.

第I卷第二部分阅读理解 (满分20分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen Gustave Eiffel designed the tower to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, he had never imagined it to last more than 20 years. However, the tower has been beyond all expectations.While its structure is greatly admired today, such wasn’t the case when the design was presented. Many artists thought the design was ugly, but Eiffel didn’t change a thing. He believed that once it was ready, people would love the tower.He was true. The tower was an instant hit when it opened on March 31st, 1889, two years after construction began. Over 30,000 people came to admire the new wonder and even tried to climb to the top.Though it was famous, French officials still considered taking it down. Fortunately, Eiffel stopped them by convincing(说服) them to use it for scientific experiments, and then a few yearslater, signals for television broadcasting. Over the years, the tower was also home to a newspaper office, post office, theater and even a lab for Gustave Eiffel.Today, the tower houses many restaurants on its first and second level. The third level has been a platform where visitors can see the entire city of Paris. While visitors can take the stairs to the first two levels, they must take the elevators to the platform, which are closely monitored. That hasn’t stopped attempts by brave people to try to do various performances off the tower—from bungee jumping to climbing it with their bare hands.To make sure the “Iron Lady” looks good, the tower is cleaned and repainted every eight years. Moreover, thanks to the fact that it was made of iron that expands in hot weather, the tower “grows” up to 6.75 inches taller every summer!21. What does the author explain about the success of the tower when it opened?A.It was highly thought of by many French artists.B.It remains the world’s tallest man-made structure.C.The government was planning to take the tower down.D.It attracted many people to visit it.22. Gustave Eiffel convinced the officials not to tear the tower down by saying .A.it was a great symbol of FranceB.many other uses could be made of itC.it could help scientists do experiments successfullyD.the government could allow more people to visit it23. Why does the tower grow every summer?A.Because the tower is repainted every eight years.B.Because the iron expands when it’s heated in summer.C.Because the tower is being viewed from different directions.D.Because people try to do many performances off the tower.BSearching the Internet may help middle-aged and older adults keep their memories sharp, US researchers said.Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles,studied people doing Web searches by recording their brain activity.“What we saw was that people who had Internet experience used more of their brain during the search,” Dr.Gary Small, a UCLA expert on aging,said. “This suggests that just searching on the Internet may train the brain and that it may keep it active and healthy.”“This is the first time that someone has simulated(模拟) an Internet search task while scanning the brain,” Small said.His team studied 24 normal volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half were experienced in searching the Internet and the other half had no Web experience. However, the two groups were similar in age,gender and education.Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored(监视).“We found that in the book reading task, the visual cortex—the part of the brain that controls reading and language—was activated,” Small said. “In doing the Internet search task, there was much greater activity, but only in the Internet-savvy group.”He said it appears that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage in a much deeper level of brain activity. Activities that keep the brain engaged can preserve brain health and thinking ability. Small thought learning to do Internet searches may be one of those activities.24. Researchers when volunteers were doing Web searches.A.studied the InternetB.activated the brainC.monitored the brain activityD.recorded their memories25.The two volunteer groups were .A.of the same ageB.similar in educationC.good at the computerD.book lovers26. According to the passage,we can learn that .A.searching the Web keeps the brain more engagedB.reading books keeps the brain more engagedC.watching TV keeps the brain more engagedD.chatting online keeps the brain more engaged27. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.Web searching is good for the brain.B.Web searching damages the brain.C.Activities are good for the brain.D.Activities damage the brain.CSpace travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density(密度)after only a month of weightlessness,according to French research published on Friday.Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.“Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts,” the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.They measured the bone mineral density(BMD)of bones in the forearm(前臂)and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨)of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius(桡骨)of the forearm. “Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton(骨架)are similarly affected by space conditions,” they added.Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium(钙)which makes bones strong,and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.28.French scientists did their research on Russian astronauts,because .A.they only cared for the Russian astronautsB.they were not interested in their own astronautsC.the Russian government invited them to do their researchD.the Russian astronauts worked in space for a long time29. Scientists have found that .A.the BMD loss may cause serious illness to astronautsB.the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts’ bodiesC.astronauts shouldn’t care about the BMD lossD.astronauts should take some calcium before space travel30. In the third paragraph,the word “striking” means .A.unusualB.simpleC.weakD.slow第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空(共20小题；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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
