She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bac helor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in away that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.4．When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.A．was very popular with childrenB．got inspired by one of her teachersC．began her career of writing novelsD．knew what she would do in the future5．What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A．Made a fortune. B．Made a promise.C．Got ideas. D．Obtained help.6．What do we know about Joanna Cole?A．She is the most famous woman writer in America.B．She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.C．She is an expert at getting science across to readers.D．She has made great contributions to science.7．What kind of person is Cole in the passage?A．Positive and brave. B．Popular and reliable.C．Serious and honest. D．Talented and creative.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 8．People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A．delay tasks B．work hardC．seek help D．accept failure9．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order. B．Building up physical strength. C．Leaving out the toughest ideas. D．Dealing with the hardest task first. 10．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A．Before starting a difficult task. B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring. D．After finding a way out. 11．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B．get some nice sleepC．gain complete relief D．find the right solutionThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for threehours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a litt le man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow, s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.12．What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A．A poor life. B．A new life.C．A happy life. D．A modem life.13．Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A．He felt sorry for his mother.B．He couldn’t help the family.C．He had run away from school.D．He disappointed his mother’s expectations.14．What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A．It’s broad.B．It’s warm.C．It’s false.D．It’s secret.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．An Interesting Pipe B．A Powerful Smile C．Unconditional Love D．Magic Trust二、七选五With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.16．Avoid harsh cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.Switch to a face oil17．In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.Exfoliate(去死皮)Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal.18．However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.19．If you don’t feel thirsty and strugg le with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.20．The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.A．Drink plenty of waterB．Eat homemade soupsC．Use mild facial cleansersD．Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look betterE.Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfortF.After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.G.Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.三、完形填空I’ve been obsessed (困扰) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently 21 between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t 22 me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n)23 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 24 German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 25 tongue, and that’s been my main 26 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was27 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 28 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 29 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on 30 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.I’m ofte n asked what the 31 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is that it’s down to endless hours of 32 — reading, studying and practicing grammar. 33 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and increasing numbers of great works become 34 .It’s hard, but the 35 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 36 itself to me. Something 37 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 38 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 39 effectively in complex conversations.Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I’m much richer for that — it makes me more 40 .21．A．distinguishing B．switching C．comparing D．dividing 22．A．threaten B．encourage C．promise D．trust 23．A．sensitive B．average C．individual D．natural 24．A．took on B．put down C．made up D．went over 25．A．simple B．sharp C．native D．polite 26．A．advantage B．appreciation C．foundation D．motivation 27．A．shocked B．relieved C．depressed D．hooked28．A．comprehensive B．historical C．scientific D．skeptical 29．A．speaking B．selecting C．imitating D．acquiring 30．A．adjusting B．devoting C．reducing D．attaching 31．A．secret B．purpose C．benefit D．puzzle 32．A．expectation B．admiration C．concentration D．evaluation 33．A．Gradually B．Suddenly C．Regularly D．Usually 34．A．affordable B．accessible C．invisible D．assessable 35．A．circle B．beginning C．options D．rewards 36．A．revealed B．explained C．limited D．recommended 37．A．reasonable B．significant C．similar D．funny 38．A．substitute B．combine C．promote D．transform 39．A．compromise B．compete C．communicate D．compensate 40．A．arbitrary B．objective C．considerate D．confident四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

AAmazing Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans◆Horses are picky eatersHorses have an even better sense of smell than humans do。

When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils （鼻孔）， their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say。

AFor a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.You don’t have to be spineless(没有骨气的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.You can not expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you.

Is teamwork out of date？Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days?One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent. It is parents’ job to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This，to me，requires teamwork. For example，the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills，while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However，in today’s society，we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a onesided thing. According to a report，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don’t take responsibility for their children，so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact，and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn’t matter if you have a small company or a large company：if you have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I have noticed that with the current economic recession(衰退)，people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people’s work has gone down greatly. It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck，but their quality standards fly right out of the windows. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the workforce.As you can see，we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you believe teamwork is really losing ground in today’s society？I think it is.28．Why does teamwork disappear in the parenting aspect of our daily life?A．Parents have no time to spare for their children.B．Parents have no chances to teach their children about it.C．Many children are often brought up by a single parent.D．Many children are independent to deal with their matters.29．Teamwork is losing ground in the workforce mainly because .A．workers don’t like to work together with othersB．workers’ sense is affected by economic recessionC．workers want to prove they are more capableD．fewer workers are employed to save money30．The author wants us to believe his opinion by .A．listing some dataB．giving some examplesC．asking some questionsD．analyzing some cases31．The underlined phrase “fly right out of the windows” in Paragraph 3 means “”．A．disappear B．Improve C．increase D．matterDAround four years ago，I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call，my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally，I gathered some courage. I thought，“If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness：Public Speaking.After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts.After delivering it successfully，I became more confident. I said to myself，“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self Motivation，Personality Development，Personal Excellence，Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I have learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step. 32．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Practice Makes a Man a Better SpeechmakerB．Public Speaking Makes a Man EmbarrassedC．Principals Provide the Best ChancesD．Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches33．The author had bad feelings before the speech because .A．he disliked the idea of giving a lectureB．he had got a high fever before thatC．he regretted accepting the invitationD．he feared he couldn’t perform it properly34．What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?A．Unlucky opportunities. B．Negative ideas.C．Curious views. D．Happy comments.35．What can we conclude from the passage?A．Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.B．Knowledge makes humble；ignorance makes proud.C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.D．Necessity is the mother of invention.第二节；（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项是多余项。

And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no bus in ess tak ing it for gran ted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minu tes. It is so easy to exist in stead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest less on of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had lear ned.By telli ng them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Lear n to be happy, and think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.21.

They wanted to buy lottery tickets （彩票）. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot （积累奖金） in history .More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80 ．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn 't affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second .Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they 'pllrobably never have.But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized （合法化的） gambling （赌博）. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice （恶习）, under the name of social progress. No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.24.

People who are addicted to playing lotteries should ________ .A. join a support groupB. kick the habitC. win the lotteryD. save every centCThere are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.You now know what open education is ．Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason why some students like open education?A. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning ．B. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own future.C. Open education allows the students to develop their own interests.D. Open education has fewer rules.29.

2017年上学期辽宁省六校协作体高三调研考试英语试题附答案

2017年上学期辽宁省六校协作体高三调研考试英语试题附答案AA few years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the most difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold on my sanity. Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy. I lost all of my hair and I was bald as a golf ball. I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and take a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a senior PGA Tour event called The Tradition being played, which seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd. It was a beautiful day, and I was in heaven. I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box: Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskoph. Just asthey arrived at the tee box, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway! The thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes fixed on me. Even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was right in their flight path. I was mortified! I knew I couldn’t just stand there. Someone had to do something to get things moving again. So I took a deep breath and went out into the middle of the fairway. I grabbed my hat and hair, nestled them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced: “Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.21. From the passage, we can see that the author is _____A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. warm-heartedD. shy22. What does the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. calmB. excitedC. worriedD. embarrassed23. What’s the author’s aim to say the underlined sentence?A. to give a weather reportB. to tell the gentlemen how the unimaginable happenedC. to reduce the embarrassment and get things moving againD. It’s just a jokeBSome cases have been reported in Russia lately of people who can read and detect colors with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case is concerning an eleven-year-old girl, who has normal vision but who can also become aware of things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many newspapers locked away there., and even described the way they were done up in bundles.Her talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute and she was given a series of tests. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through a screen which was not transparent and strange still, by moving her elbow over a game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it; in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colors of a picturehidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests she was blindfolded; and indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to see things with her skin, It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.24. Solid doors and walls are __________________.A. invisible to those who can read and detect colors with their fingers.B. no obstacles for people who can read and detect colors with their fingers.C. transparent to those who can read and detect colors.D. concerned in cases reported in Russia recently.25. The girl’s father _______________.A. had always known his daughter and her talent.B. found that his daughter could perceive things with different parts of her skin.C. described the way newspapers were done up in boundless.D. discovered his daughter’s gift by accident.26. The scientific research institute _______________.A. made the girl read a newspaperB. set up a game ofLotto with the girlC. tested the girl thoroughlyD. arranged that the girl should undergo a number of experiments.27. Which of the following statements is true?A. The girl couldn’t always perceive things with her skin.B. The girl was occasionally blindfold when she did the tests.C. The girl’s hands had to be wet before she could perceive things through he skin.D. The girl’s knees didn’t have the same sensitivity as her fingers.CI told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationeryexercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, andjoin in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.28. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A. Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people’s health.B. Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.C. Those who want to achieve success can’t expect to live an easy life.D. People’s attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.29. By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “ .”A. Failure is the mother of success．B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.C. If you risk nothing, you will have nothing.D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.30. Following this passage, the author will further talk about .A. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceC. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversityD. what great people have in common31. Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A. Face adversity with a smileB. Different attitudes towards adversityC. Nothing is impossibleD. Life is full of adversityDAdding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for children’s math achievement, according to a new research from a university. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad appthat delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The app’s effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults’attitudes about math for children’s math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement.The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents’uneasiness about math and children’s low math achievement.“Many people experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialoguebetween parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children’s math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year’s end.32. Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questionsB. assesses children’s math achievement and parents’nervousness with mathC. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problemsD. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems33.

She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bac helor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l shedecided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.4．When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.A．was very popular with childrenB．got inspired by one of her teachersC．began her career of writing novelsD．knew what she would do in the future5．What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A．Made a fortune. B．Made a promise.C．Got ideas. D．Obtained help.6．What do we know about Joanna Cole?A．She is the most famous woman writer in America.B．She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.C．She is an expert at getting science across to readers.D．She has made great contributions to science.7．What kind of person is Cole in the passage?A．Positive and brave. B．Popular and reliable.C．Serious and honest. D．Talented and creative.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or toodifficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 8．People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A．delay tasks B．work hardC．seek help D．accept failure9．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order. B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas. D．Dealing with the hardest task first.10．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A．Before starting a difficult task. B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring. D．After finding a way out.11．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B．get some nice sleepC．gain complete relief D．find the right solutionThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow, s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.12．What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A．A poor life. B．A new life.C．A happy life. D．A modem life.13．Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A．He felt sorry for his mother.B．He couldn’t help the family.C．He had run away from school.D．He disappoi nted his mother’s expectations.14．What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A．It’s broad.B．It’s warm.C．It’s false.D．It’s secret.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．An Interesting Pipe B．A Powerful Smile C．Unconditional Love D．Magic Trust二、完形填空I’ve been obsessed (困扰) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently 16 between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t 17 me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n)18 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 19 German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 20 tongue, and that’s been my main 21 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was22 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 23 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 24 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on 25 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.I’m often asked what the 26 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phras es. The truth is that it’s down to endless hours of 27 — reading, studying and practicing grammar. 28 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and increasing numbers of great works become 29 .It’s hard, but the 30 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 31 itself to me. Something 32 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 33 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related theyare. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 34 effectively in complex conversations.Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I’m much richer for that — it makes me more 35 .16．A．distinguishing B．switching C．comparing D．dividing 17．A．threaten B．encourage C．promise D．trust 18．A．sensitive B．average C．individual D．natural 19．A．took on B．put down C．made up D．went over 20．A．simple B．sharp C．native D．polite 21．A．advantage B．appreciation C．foundation D．motivation 22．A．shocked B．relieved C．depressed D．hooked 23．A．comprehensive B．historical C．scientific D．skeptical 24．A．speaking B．selecting C．imitating D．acquiring 25．A．adjusting B．devoting C．reducing D．attaching 26．A．secret B．purpose C．benefit D．puzzle 27．A．expectation B．admiration C．concentration D．evaluation 28．A．Gradually B．Suddenly C．Regularly D．Usually 29．A．affordable B．accessible C．invisible D．assessable 30．A．circle B．beginning C．options D．rewards 31．A．revealed B．explained C．limited D．recommended 32．A．reasonable B．significant C．similar D．funny 33．A．substitute B．combine C．promote D．transform 34．A．compromise B．compete C．communicate D．compensate 35．A．arbitrary B．objective C．considerate D．confident第II卷（非选择题）三、七选五With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.36．Avoid harsh cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.Switch to a face oil37． In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.Exfoliate(去死皮)Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal.38．However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.39．If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.40．The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.A．Drink plenty of waterB．Eat homemade soupsC．Use mild facial cleansersD．Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look betterE．Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfortF．After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.G．Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow yo ur face oil to enter the skin deeply.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

AI have had all kinds of interesting neighbors since the early days of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”.The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me.I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was ov er.Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother.The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member inmy family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.21.

Which of the following can be the best title for the fourth advertisement?A. Nice Rome tripsB. Airport Car Rentals With DriversC. Cheap Car ToursD. Flight Service To Pick You UpCTo the mom I used to be:Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life --- start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association, teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your husband. You were a “glass half full” person who often felt so much joy. You always looked forward, smiled and danced.Two years ago, on December 14,2012, the world changed and you changed with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your sons’ school and killed six educators and twenty first- graders. Your eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some monsters are real. He describes it as the day “when evils came to my school.” Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love, with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(微笑)，was killed. Shot multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special- education assistant who also died while trying to protect him.The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husband’s face. The way you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and family seem foreign.… …But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know what you should do is try everything to protect more children. You’re fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs.With love,Nicole Hockley, Dylan’s mom28. Saying a "glass half full" person, the author means she________.A. was once an optimistic momB. was always a very busy momC. was living a life to the fullestD. got drunk with half a glass of beer29. The letter tends to indicate that Dylan_________.A. might have some mental disabilityB. has become childish since his teacher diedC. should have been protected from being killedD was then studying in the same class as his brother30. Which can best describe Dylan's mom's attitude towards life today?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. HopelessD. Depressed31. The author writes the letter mainly to __________.A. tell herself not to forget the bitterly painful pastB. praise the educators' brave deeds in time of dangerC. tell the readers how the shooting has changed her familyD. describe the bad effects of school violence on studentsDLife is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depres sions”, a study has reported.The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another wayto get salt.32. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean?A. enoughB. far from enoughC. more than enoughD. plenty33. The major role of salt is to ____________.A. help the body work wellB. help fight against depressionD. help people get rid of an addiction to drugsD. help people enjoy sugary substances34. Which of the following statements is true?A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful toeat too much of it.B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health.35. What kind of food should people eat more of?A. Frozen foodB. Fast foodC. Red meat D Low--salt food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。

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫）and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious thoughperhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--- then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe ,must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.28. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure29. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.30. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult taskB. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.31. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solutionDThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe(烟斗) and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.32. What kind of life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D. A modern life.33. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help the family.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mot her’s expectations.34. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Magic TrustB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. An Interesting Pipe第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWe spend hours, days and years of our lives in school. Imagine you could design your dream school, what would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said: Richard from the USA: My dream school would have a big swimming pool and two soccer fields. It would also have a cinema, a gym and a shopping centre. My school has none of these, and I think there should be more pleasant things for students to do while they are studying.Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can relax and play computer games. I’d also like to have a music room. I think there should be a place for everyone to go and relax after class.Wu from Beijing: I think it would be great to have another day off (休息日) every week, besides the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier.Hannah from Australia: In my dream school, I think the teachers should give us morefreedom and choice about how we study and what we study.

In fact, heat may be natural deadliest killer.Several hot days that follow each other are considered a heat wave. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when they nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.Extreme heat can does harm to very young children---especially when they are left in a car. Every year, there are news reports about young children dying after they were left inside cars in the summer sun.Jan Null is a meteorologist, a weather expert at San Francisco State University. Since 1998, he has recorded deaths of children from what medical experts call “vehicular heatstroke”(车辆中暑). He says the US has an average of 38 such deaths each year of children left alone in cars.Mr. Null told the USA today that the highest number of deaths take place in July and August. But he notes that vehicular heatstroke can happen at any time of the year. He says a child can die from the heat after being left in a car when the outsidetemperature is as low as 14℃.USA Today reports that 70% of vehicular heatstroke victims were children under the age of two. It says more than half of the deaths happened because the child’s caregiver forgot the child was in the car. About one third of the deaths happened when the child got in the car and was unable to get out of it.The newspaper notes the temperature inside a car can reach 43℃ when the temperature outside is 14℃. And it says the body temperature of a child can increase three times faster than adults.4.What makes a heat more harmful?A. Small day-night temperature differenceB.

Children’s death caused by heat in the car.CScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary (暂时的) and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.9. You would most likely find the article inA. a doctor's diaryB. a travel journalC. a medical magazineD. a physics textbook10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.11. The underlined word "sunscreen" in Paragraph 6 most probably means ______.A. sunglassesB. sunhatC. suncreamD. sunburn12. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.DA ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure (身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉).Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救护车) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!13. When seeing a figure in an open garage, Danny ________.A. recognized it was an old manB. thought it was a homeless dogC. realized something was wrongD. believed it was nothing important14. When Dawn got closer to the garage, she ________.A. noticed the dog had gone awayB. knew Danny’s hunch was wrongC. found an old lady waving for helpD. felt something must have been stolen15. Which of the following can best describe Danny?A. Brave and patient.B. Friendly and honest.C. Considerate and optimistic.D.

辽宁省重点六校协作体2020届高三英语上学期期中试题(含解析)

2020学年度上学期省六校协作体高三期中考试英语试题第一节阅读理解，共15小题，每题2分，共计30分。

AAfter a few moments, my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough: “How do you like driving a cab?”“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you? His reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money doing something else.”I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?’’“I’m in the neurology department at New York Hospital.”Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask a big favor of you? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired unless his old man knows someone who owns a business, and I don’t.” I paused. “Is there any poss ibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”He didn’t respond for a while. Finally, he said: “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.”I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he scribbled his name on it and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.After I nagged, yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robbie sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was beaming. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’ssecretary for an interview.Robbie got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fit in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robbie and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became OB-GYN chief president at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.Some might call it fate, and I guess it was. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.1. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the second paragraph mean?A. interestedB. confusedC. benefitedD. challenged2. After the author got the passenger’s name, he ___________.A. found that his son got the summer job immediately.B. found his son wasn’t interested in getting a summer job.C. had difficulty persuading his son to send his school record.D. asked for his help more than once.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author loves his job and devotes himself to it.B. Robbie was very eager to work at New York Hospital.C. The small summer job led to Robbie’s career.D. Dr. Plum promised to help the author without hesitation.4. The author develops the article mainly by________.A. providing examplesB. following the natural time orderC. making comparisonsD. presenting causes and effects【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 4. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。
