2019-2020学年东北育才双语学校高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年东北育才双语学校高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BFollowing the Famous Silk RoadsThe Silk Roads were a networkof ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to theMediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor(走廊), whichstretchesover a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXi’an, inShanxiProvince. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches theMediterranean.The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an toCentral Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods,knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.4. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.A. the MediterraneanB. Xi’an, inShanxiProvinceC.KazakhstanandKyrgyzstanD. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor5. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________.A. standsB. spreadsC. movesD. flies6. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an toCentral Asiato________.A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and teaB. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapesC. seek help from the most powerful western countriesD. build bridges between his country and other countries7. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage?A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands.B. It was recognized by the UNESCO asChina’s heritage.C. It speeded up the development of the countries involved.D. It started a trade competition between countries along the way.CElizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us becausewe would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's too bright.8. What do we know about Bishop's early life?A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.C. She was always encouraged by her parents.D. She started to write poems at five.9. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?A. They have a deep influence on other poets.B. They offer much information about her life.C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.10. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?A. She liked to write in the morning.B. She could write poems at high speed.C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.11. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?A. Enthusiastic.B. Romantic.C. Humorous.D. Exact.DOur house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.12. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation?A. The old man looks terrible and frightening.B. The old man is pitifully undemanding.C. The old man could’t rent room from others.D. The old man talked happily with the author.13. Which of the following shows the old man had a big heart?A.He had a large family to raise.B. He could sleep in a rocking chair.C. He did’t care about his disease.D. He wanted to come back and stay the next time.14. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?A. He was grateful for the neighbour’s warning.B. He and his neighbor are good friends.C. He truly appreciated the old man.D. He lost potential renters happily.15. What can be a suitable title for the text ?A. Kindness makes the world beautiful.B. Happiness is around thecorner.C. No pains, No gains.D. Live positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers andnot-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes, but l ife in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.4.“Loserville” is a section for ________.A.failures B.good studentsC.class secrets D.newcomers5.The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.A.Ana didn’t text back to her B.her friends hurt her feelingsC.she was unfairly treated D.she was a good student6.What made a difference in changing the situation?A.She went back to Illinois.B.She ended friendship with Ana.C.She fought back with her classmates.D.She began to make friends with others.7.The best title for the passage can be ________.A.Lasting Friendship B.An Incidence at SchoolC.Say Goodbye to “Loserville”D.Unhappiness in “Loserville”Moscow city authorities have begun using comics(漫画)with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants(移民)how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus(高加索)and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Ru ssian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely(例行公事)stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies(执法机关), while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants couldotherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian."We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin."The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.8.The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____". A.friends B.acquaintancesC.cooperators D.opponents9.People from other countries come to Moscow "_____".A.to find well-paid jobs B.to have a new lifestyleC.to enjoy the fine climate D.to experience a new culture10.The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".A.consequences the migrants may sufferB.the purpose of publishing the handbookC.the measures to attract foreign migrantsD.characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A.Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB.Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC.More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD.Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behaveIn this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible,”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Clev eland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon V alley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population. 12.In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?A.Transforming old energy into new energy.B.Creating more well-paid jobs.C.Prohibiting the manufacturing.D.Sponsoring higher education.13.How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?A.By helping to attract more talents from other areas.B.By providing much technical support to local companies.C.By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.D.By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.14.Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To show the disadvantage of a declining population.B.To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.C.To raise doubts about growing income per capita.D.To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population GrowthB.How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech EconomyC.Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting WealthierD.Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population二、七选五Nowadays along with the booming of computer science, computers are widely used here and there. People even can find computers in most classrooms. While teachers remain more or less the same, computers are doubling in speed and capability every four years. 16.As far as I am concerned, teachers still play a major role and are still of great importance.17.However advanced they may be, computers are nothing more than human inventions programmed to perform certain tasks.They are unable to deal with students with different background. Needless to say, a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most. Therefore, computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn’t possibly make the roles played by them weaker.In terms of accuracy and the amount of information, computers outshine humans. 18.Indeed, a good teacher organizes and inspires the students.Besides, the interaction between students and teachers is vital for the learning. According to most education authorities, real learning occurs during the discussion and sharing of ideas with one’s teacher and classmates. Moreover, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustrat ion and impatience. 19.Despite the increasing presence of computers inside classrooms, teachers are just as essential, if not more so, as instructors were in the past. 20.A.It’s time that teachers should develop themselves.B.Without this kind of interaction, education is unimaginable.C.Advanced as computers may be, some teachers are less impatient.D.But to make a good teacher means far more than being an encyclopedia (百科全书).E.People can’t help wondering whether teachers are as important as they once w ere.F.Some drawbacks make it impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms.G.It is well known that computers are better at repetitive work but incapable of creative thinking.三、完形填空You never know how far a kind act can go.You don't know who it can21 ,either.When Gloria Porter and Jeff Reick began 22 ,they had no idea how much it would 23 others to shower(大量给予)people with kindness.89-year-old Gloria Porter was lying in hospital.She couldn't leave her ward.So to 24 boredom,she would often stare outside her window to watch construction workers building the new front entrance to the hospital. She wasn't expecting one of the 25 to wave to her.She couldn't help but wave back at the kind 26 .This was only the start of a special 27 between the two.Jeff Reick knew Porter was 28 ,so he decided to send a kind 29 to her by finding some chalk and writing"Get Well” on one of the beams(梁)facing her 30 “I just thought that was 31 ,"Porter said."So I should do something to 32 that."When Porter saw construction workers working high above the ground one cold,windy day,she grew 33 .She wrote"Stay safe"on a piece of paper,which she then 34 on the window for the workers to see."When I saw 4 Stay safe' on a piece of paper,I 35and said to my coworkers,'Did you see that?""Reick said.If everybody willingly does things like that,the world will be a better place.21.A.disturb B.employ C.affect D.describe 22.A.communicating B.singing C.arguingD.explaining23.A.require B.warn C.force D.encourage 24.A.make for B.put off C.figure out D.escape from 25.A.workers B.nurses C.doctors D.patients 26.A.job B.inspiration C.gesture D.favor 27.A.business B.connection C.difference D.trouble 28.A.lonely B.upset C.ill D.poor 29.A.letter B.message C.note D.warning30.A.window B.entrance C.wall D.door 31.A.impolite B.necessary C.familiar D.precious 32.A.record B.return C.recover D.remember 33.A.puzzled B.worried C.thrilled D.annoyed 34.A.knocked B.installed C.placed D.drew 35.A.came down B.broke down C.showed up D.turned around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。

AIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it —there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat — was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side.” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes, the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe — and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.1. The author says “I’m so glad I did. “ (in Para. 2) because __________.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty ofthe calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family2. The harbour survived the storm owing to______.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because __________.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction4. What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. I t’s vital to protect the environmentBThe Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless — and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession (经济衰退) have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs.Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it.A. talk aboutB. deal withC. fight forD. write to6. How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?A. 39% of the population.B. 200 million people.C. About 3 million people.D. About one-fifth of the population.7. Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because .A. they have no home addressesB. they mostly have a drinking problemC. they aren’t supported by government programsD. they often don’t have enough work experience8. What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?A. The passing of new housing laws.B. The fast growth of family size.C. The slow construction of houses.D. The ever-rising price of housing.C“Blogging is helping students to think and write more critically(批评地),”saysan Australian researcher, “and can help draw out people who would otherwise notengage in debate.”These are the preliminary findings of PHD research by Anne Bartlett-Bragg, alecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney, who has been using weblogs or blogsin her own teaching since 2001.“The students are thinking more critically.” she says, “They are learning tobe responsible and they’re communicating outside the boundaries of the classroomand the institution, and they like that. “Ba rtlett-Bragg says in conventionalteaching, students often rely on the lecturer as the main source of ideas and critique(评论)for their work. “I’m a bit over listening to my students giving me back inan essay what I’ve told them in class.” she says. “I want them to think forthemselves and get different pers pectives.”“What makes blogs useful is their interactive nature.”she says. These web-basedforums(论坛)for discussing ideas, experiences or opinions allow students to discusspublicly what they are studying with other students and experts outside their ownuniversity. “I really encourage them to put their personal opinion in there,provided they are informed and backed up with evidence.” Bartlett-Bragg saysbecause a lot of academics in her field of electronic or e-learning now have theirown blogs, students can engage directly with them.She says one of the most powerful facilities in weblogs is pinging, which involvesa person positing a comment about someone else’s work on their own blog. They usethe “Trackback” tool to notify the author when they have published the comment,basically inviting them to discuss it.“They get such a buzz when they make a comment on another person outside theboundaries of the institution and that person responds, or even gives them somefurther reading.” she says. “T hey are getting new perspectives that I can’t givethem in a normal lecture.”9. What Bartlett-Bragg likes most is that blogs can help students to ______. .A. think for themselvesB. have stronger sense ofresponsibilityC. know more about the world outsideD. finish an essay assignmenteasily10. Bartlett-Brag would like her students to _______.A. make comments on her teachingB. spend more time on the webC. be taught in a conventional wayD. get new ideas from theweb-based forums11. The “Trackback” tool is used to _______. .A. exchange views with the authorB. inform the author of a newly published commentC. invite the author to replyD. send a comment to the author12. Bartlett-Bragg’s attitude towards introducing blogs into teaching is _______. .A. criticB. doubtfulC. supportiveD. neutral13.The fourth paragraph mainly talks about_________.A. the special nature of blogsB. the popularity of blogsC. the advantages of blogsD. Bartlett-Bragg’s teaching stylesDIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers follow certain uniform standards for various features of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the word’s population–men and women –are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.14. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.15. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.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。

Seventeen countries around the world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470 million people.All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, forexample, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water, however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system. Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops like millet(小米).Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water.8. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. A quarter of the world's population is living with water shortages.B. Nearly all countries are facing acute water shortages now.C. Underground water should he used to meet the water demand.D. Measures have been taken to deal with the water shortage in India.9. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Rainfall is not as steady as before.B. Climate change may lead to water shortages.C. The water supply relies more on rainfall.D. Hotter weather changes the water demand.10. What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?A. Plug leaks in the water distribution system.B. Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells.C. Reduce the number of people in the cities.D. Grow less-water consumption crops instead.11. What will be discussed if the passage continues?A. How to prevent from climate change.B. How to inspire people to save water.C. How to recycle wastewater in citiesD. How to make people get access to clean water.DKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.12. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.13. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.14. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D.

AMore than a hundred years ago, two boys were fishing in a small river. They sat in a heavy-bottomed boat, each holding a long, bent pole in his hands and eagerly waiting for “a bite”. When they wanted to move the boat from one place to another they had to push against a long pole into the bottom of the stream.“This is slow work, Robert,” said the older of the boys. “Yes, Christopher, and it’s hard work, too.” answered Robert. “I think there’s some better way of moving a boat.”Christopher advised rowing it and Robert promised to make some paddles (桨). The next day Robert’s aunt heard a great noise in her house. The two boys were there, busily working. “What are you making, Robert?”she asked. He told his plan. His aunt laughed and said, “Well done! I hope you’ll succeed.”After much work, they succeeded in making two paddle wheels. They were very rough, but strong and usable. They fixed each of these wheels to the end of an iron rod (长杆) which they passed through the boat from side to side. The rod was bent in the middle. When the work was finished, the old fishing boat looked rather strange, with a paddle wheel on each side. The boys lost no time in trying it. One of the boys could guide the boat while the other turned the paddle wheels.That night when Christopher went home, he told his father a wonderful story. “Robert Fulton planned the whole thing,”he said, “and I helped him make the paddles and put them on the boat.”When Robert Fulton became a man, he didn’t forget his experiment with the old fishing boat. He kept on thinking and working, until at last he succeeded in making a boat with paddle wheels that could be run by steam. He’s now honored as the inventor of the steamboat.21. How did the two boys move their heavy boat at first?A. By moving two paddle wheels.B. By using a long pole in the water.C. By pushing two paddles in the water.D. By moving their hands in the water.22. What did Robert’s aunt do when she knew about his plan?A. She wished Robert success.B. She didn’t care about Robert.C. She laughed at Robert much.D. She helped Robert work on it.23. The underlined words “a wonderful story” in the last paragraph may refer to __________.A. the old fishing boatB. Christopher’s successful planC. Christopher’s skill in guiding the boatD. the invention of paddle wheels24. Which of the following can best describe Robert Fulton?A. Helpful and b rave.B. Easy-going and careful.C. Creative and hardworking.D. Determined and selfless.BDo you want to make a difference in your community? The Verizon App Challenge can get you started.

Next, the judges pick national winners. The top eight teams receive an additional $15,000 for their schools, and each team member receives a Samsung tablet. Besides, the winning team get the chance to bring their app to life.A group of six girls from Los Frenos, Texas won the second annual V erizon App Challenge.

Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.In the month of November, polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic, as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay. The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist, for here they hunt for seals (海豹).The Great Bustard, one of the heaviest flyi ng birds, migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds. Unluckily, these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures. Since 1979, ice sheets in theArctic have gone down by 30 percent. What does this mean for polar bears? They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time, which delays their search for food. As a result, bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were. Besides, smaller bears also produce weaker babies, and their chances of survival are at risk. In the plains of Africa, migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food, just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.In an unusual step, experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals, fish and birds. The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was heldin Quito, Ecuador. For the first time, 900 experts attended the conference, and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.What does getting on a protected list mean? Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal’s migratory path. Only one animal did not make the list. The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was.B. The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds.C. In the 1970s, ice sheets went down by 30 percent.D. 120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.30. Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage?A. It isn’t a migratory animal.B. We don’t know which countries it lives in.C. Experts were not interested in this animal.D. It was not traveling long distances for food.31. The writer writes this passage aiming to __________.A. let us know about the animalsB. draw our attention to helping the migratory animalsC. inform us of the effects of climate changeD. prevent the rare animals from dying out32. All these factors have probably put the migratory animals in danger EXCEPT _______.A. some human activityB. climate changeC. rising ocean temperaturesD. the enthusiastic support from expertsDEvery morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days,books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one d ay? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!33. What does the writer do before he goes to sleep’?A. He reads books.B. He reads newspapersC. He looks through magazinesD. He looks at the posters on the wall.34 What happened after books became cheaper?A. People didn’t want to buy books.B. Printing was invented in China.C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.D. The Internet was introduced to people soon35. What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers’?A. People won’t need books any moreB. Books won’t be replaced by computers.C. People prefer to find information in books.D. Computers have already replaced books.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。
