第I卷第一部分听力 (1-20略)第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60）第一节（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ASometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do．When this happens，a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing．When this does not work，the parent usually punishes the child．There are many things that a parent can do．One thing that people have done is to spank(打屁股)the child．When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on the bottom．This means showing the child that they have done something wrong．One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child．His parents used a wooden spoon．When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg．He never did that again．One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing．Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard．Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing．Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking．Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay．Some think that the law lets them do it．The courts(法院)say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave．Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child．Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing．Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried．Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well．21．According to the passage，when children do something wrong，one thing that parents usually do to punish them is toA．strike them on the bottom B．try to help them do the right thingC．teach them what to do D．take them to court 22．Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?A．It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her．B．The parents may get angry and hit the child too hard．C．Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything．D．It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right．23．From this passage，we can conclude thatA．good children always do the right thingB．parents should try their best to avoid spanking their childrenC．parents have no choice but to spank their childrenD．children can have more than one choice to avoid being spankedBIn addition to seeing wonderful films, one of the joys of coming to the Quad Cinema is to hang out in the area. The Quad is located right in the heart of Greenwich Village, perhaps the most charming and interesting neighborhood in the city. Here are some attractions we recommend, all within a comfortable walk from the Quad: Washington SquareAs one of the best-known of New York City’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. Come on a Sunday when it’s most liv ely and festive. New York UniversityIt surrounds Washington Square. See the impressive Bobst Library and visit the amazing bookstore. NYU is now considered one of the most powerful universities in the world.Judson Memorial ChurchLocated on Washington Square south between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street, opposite Washington Square Park, this beautiful church was completed in 1892. The Judson is most famous for its vocal participation in social events.Washington MewsIt is a hidden, private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was first developed as a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University.Jefferson Market CourthouseBuilt in 1833 as a market, it was later changed to a courthouse, and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed. It was saved and turned into a library. Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village.24. What does the author want to tell in the passage?A. To introduce some attractions in the Quad.B. To suggest the Quad Cinema is the best place.C. To imply the Quad attracts a lot of visitors.D. To tell readers to enjoy their life fully.25. The author mentions Washington Square because_______.A. it is in the center of Greenwich VillageB. it has a history of more than 100 yearsC. it is a landmark in the ManhattanD. it has witnessed so many incidents26. Where is Judson Memorial Church?A. To the south of Washington Square.B. Behind Washington Square Park.C. Opposite Thompson Street.D. Close to New York University.27. When Washington Mews came into being______ .A. it was designed for a universityB. it was intended for keeping horsesC. it was filled with free facilitiesD. it was used as a park for horses CThe next time your friends roll their eyes when you’re snapping a selfie (自拍照) or taking a photo of your dessert, tell them that photographing everyday things can actually make people happier.In a study of more than 2,000 people, researchers found that people who took photos of their experiences, whether they were walking through a museum or going on a city bus tour, had a better time overall compared with those who didn’t.During each of the study’s nine experiments, people were asked to either take photos or give up photography during an everyday activity, such as eating a meal. In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while it’s happening.The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifa cts than those who didn’t.However,photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took photos of the bloody event were reported to havea lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the researchers said.28. Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?A. People can share their photos on Facebook.B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.29. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.B. Photography requires more courage to do.C. Photography is an unpleasant process.D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.30. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.31.The writing form of the passage is _______A. a research reportB. a novelC. a dramaD. a descriptionDOnce upon a time, there was an old businessman, who came to a small town when it was about 12 o’clock at night. He found an inn and decided to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his suitcase, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his suitcase tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his tea? If he has the tea, he will forget to take his suitcase away.”“How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you make tea for him.”The old man had the tea with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his suitcase. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “How foolish you are! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”“No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so. He must forget something.”“Oh, I’ve remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot…”32.

平遥中学2016-2017学年第二学期高二期中考试英语试题(文理科)本试卷满分150分考试时间100分钟第I卷第一部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分100分）第一节阅读理解（共四篇，共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分ALand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For examples, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty（螺旋状防波堤）, made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake. Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay（衰落）. That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.1. What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.2. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in _______.A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature3. What is the passage mainly about?A. Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduction of Land Art.BIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz （奔驰）with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate（价钱）. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly（相应地）.With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?4. While taking a taxi in Finland, _________.A. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wantsto goB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leavewithout paying5. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland _________.A. provide meals for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.7. It can be concluded that ___________.A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are richCIt was a dark, wet November morning. It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again. I thought bears have got it right---- what a perfect idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes!“Want some words of affirmation(肯定)?” a coworker, seeing my mood, kindly suggested. “You don’t think they would cheer you up?”“Today? No.” I shook my head.“I used to think so too,” he said, “until I realized the effect my words had on a certain person. Well, it was someone I knew pretty well. I have to say I treated him rather badly.”“You? But you are always so positive! How did you treat him badly?”“I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not even like his name. In fact, it wasn’t only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat proper food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that he was being childish and having fun was not productive (有成果的). And worst of all, when he was sick and needed care, I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. You could say I was ashamed of him,” he said. “I wanted to get rid of him beca use he just wasn’t good enough for me---but couldn’t.”“But that was heartless!”He nodded. “Then one day it all changed. I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes, I saw the excess (过量的) weight. I saw the hair that needed cutting. And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world eagerly. Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he deserved better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person after all.”My jaw (下巴) dropped. I looked at him---full of positive energy, in good shape, always ready to encourage others.“Wow…”He winked (眨眼) at me. “So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror? The person in ther e has the greatest effect on you!”8. The first paragraph implies that .A. the author felt frustrated that morningB. the weather in November was the worst in a yearC. the author didn’t enjoy his work environmentD. the author always felt bad in winter9. The author’s coworker used to be a person who .A. was very proud of himselfB. treated people differentlyC. worked hard to keep fitD. criticized himself a lot10. Which paragraph gives a clue about who the person that a author’s coworker treated badly was?A. Paragraph 4.B. Paragraph 8.C. Paragraph 6.D. The last paragraph.11. What does the author’s coworker suggest the author do?A. Be helpful to those in need.B. Be confident in the face of difficulty.C. Be positive about himself.D. Be kind to those who make mistakes.DEdmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage for five days where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念）the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness (友爱）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine,and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地）for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how tha t was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.12.

cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot．（16）______The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries：hina and India．Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India．（17）______ Then in Tang Dynasty of China，the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan，mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays．Though a bit different from the Chinese one，it belongs to the same system．When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization．This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome．（18）______ Like the Chinese culture，the European one also crossed waters．When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean．So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot．（19）______ ake the language system for example．In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system．Other causes like human race difference counts as well．But what's more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West，the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries．So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference （干扰）from the other．The differences are everywhere．（20）______ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful．The cultural gap should not be the obstacle （障碍）to the civilization of human being．It ought to be the motivation of our going farther．A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture．B．And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture．C．One important thing is to learn about other cultures．D．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles．E．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world．F．At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences．G．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole．12.

ASometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do．When this happens，a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing．When this does not work，the parent usually punishes the child．There are many things that a parent can do．One thing that people have done is to spank（打屁股)the child．When a parent spanks a child， they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on the bottom．This means showing the child that they have done something wrong．One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child．His parents used a wooden spoon．When he spanked his own children with his hand， he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg．He never did that again．One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing．Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard．Sometimes parents willuse spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing．Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking．Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay．Some think that the law lets them do it．The courts(法院）say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave．Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child．Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing．Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried．Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well．21．According to the passage,when children do something wrong，one thing thatparents usually do to punish them is toA．strike them on the bottom B．try to help them do the right thing C．teach them what to do D．take them to court 22．Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking？A．It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her．B．The parents may get angry and hit the child too hard．C．Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything．D．It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right．23．From this passage，we can conclude thatA．good children always do the right thingB．parents should try their best to avoid spanking their childrenC．parents have no choice but to spank their childrenD．children can have more than one choice to avoid being spankedBIn addition to seeing wonderful films， one of the joys of coming to the Quad Cinema is to hang out in the area.

从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea, a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.1. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.2. Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents3. The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy talesC. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesBIf cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle, ”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: Y ou drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the nece ssary safety option，” Gersh said. So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.4. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that________.A．people might drive a car-plane in 2012B．car-planes will be popular in 2012C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts5. It takes the car-plane one minute to________.A. fold and unfold its wingsB. meet flying safety regulationsC. land in the airportD. unfold wings for flying6. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.B．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.C．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.7. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Cars with Wings Can Fly As Fast As PlaneB. Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car-Plane?C. A More Convenient and Cheaper Way To FlyD. Cars with Wings May Be Just Around the CornerCWhen we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still lar gely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.8. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ___________.A. he would have been shot by a gunB. he would have become confusedC. he would have been attacked by wild animalsD. he would have been in great danger9. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, ___________.A. he will worry about being laughed atB. he will push himself to find his way outC. he will feel sorry that he didn’t prepare well enoughD. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends10. What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?A. Intelligence.B. Observation.C. Direction.D. Chance.11. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who_________.A. go into the woods by themselvesB. keep their head when they are in troubleC. are frightened when they think they are lostD. don’t know how to signal for help properlyDNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who weare. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.12. The passage is mainly about ___________ .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill13. The drug tested on people can ___________ .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories14. We can infer from the passage that ___________ .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America15. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

As a frost cove’s the ground each night, we are busy planting vegetables in northern Wisconsin.Five public school districts in northern Wisconsin recently built high tunnels （隧道）for the winter growing season. The schools’ high tunnels, made of metal frame and a plastic covering the raised beds, keep plants warm enough to extend the growing season through the winter and allow an earlier spring planting. Our very short growing season occurs almost entirely during the summer vacation months. This makes the high tunnels necessary in allowing students to gain experience of growing and marketing produce in a cold climate where production at this scale couldn’t otherwise happen during the school year.During the summer, the high tunnels on school grounds still need to remain there. We developed the Agripreneur program （Agriculture + Entrepreneur ）to support students’ work in the high tunnels during months when students are on holidays. This program was made possible by a farm and a university. Each summer, a pair of students will be hired from everyhigh school to care for and sell a single crop in exchange for instruction from professional local farmers, growing experience, and a salary.The Agripreneur program appeared for its first season during the summer of 2015. Students grew tomatoes that were sold to community members, local restaurants and the school cafeterias（食堂）. The program met its goal of increasing the number of local vegetables consumed, both within the region and in school lunches. Sales to school cafeterias will continue through the winter as the high tunnels’ change to nutrient root vegetables, all grown by students.We may live in winter, but with the recent addition of these school high tunnels, our students are able to eat the freshest local vegetables available—even during the coldest months.1、What do we know about the school’s high tunnels?A．They are actually greenhouses.B．They are actually metal containers.C．They are entirely used for planting vegetables in summerD．They are mainly used as reading rooms for students.2、High tunnels are being used in the school districts because of________. A．students’ interest in planting. B．the larger need of cropsthere.C．the short growing season there. D．no fresh vegetables available there.3、The Agripreneur program was created to________.A．get farmers to produce more crops.B．check students’ work on the high tunnels.C．get instructions from professional local farmers.D．help students do their work in the high tunnels in holidays.4、What can be the best title for the text?A．Crops Are Planted in WinterB．Students Are Becoming ScientistsC．Schools Have the Vegetable MarketD．New Growing Season Begins Under High TunnelsI was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s. We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽车影院）movies!We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began. We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry, But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom help«ed us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.5、What could the author eat when he watched the cartoons and movies?A．Hot dogs. B．Ice cream.C．Hamburgers. D．Popcorn and candy.6、What does the underlined phrase “our treasures” in the second paragraph refer to? A．Mom and dad. B．The penny candy, C．Favorite cartoons. D．Homemade popcorn.7、What was the last show before I be movie?A．Felix the Cat. B．Tom and Jerry.C．The dancing hot dogs. D．The ticking clockadvertisement.8、What do we know about the author?A．He had a boring childhoodB．He had four younger brothers.C ．He missed the driver in very much.D ．He didn’t like watching the movies at all.二、完形填空（题型注释）Recently, I questioned the work I was doing. I found myself wondering whether all my time and effort was______. Will my new business provide the income I need? Is my service good enough for others to want to______my products? These are only a few of the______that ran through my mind. With every question, my self-confidence were_______! As my doubts swirled （纷乱）in my mind, I could feel my attitude changing.

ALiquid Paper (修正液) was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham. She was 17 when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary, even though she didn’t know how to type. The company she worked for sent her to a secretary school, and she was typing in no time at all.The 1950s had seen the widespread use of the electric typewriter, which typed faster but also meant more mistakes. Also, mistakes made by early electric typewriters were very hard to erase, which caused problems for Bette.In order to make extra money she used her talent to paint holiday windows at the bank. Then one day, it suddenly occurred to her that she could create a paint to cover up type-writing mistakes.It worked! In 1956, Bette sold her first bottles of the new product, which she called “Mistake Out”. She made it in her kitchen, and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage.By 1957, she was selling 100 bottles a month and had gotten a patent (专利) for her product, which she now called “Liquid Paper.” Sales continued to grow, as more and more people heard about Liquid Paper, through word-of-mouth and by reading about it in magazines.In the 1960s, Bette bought a machine to help her produce Liquid Paper in large quantities. In 1971, she sold 2 million bottles. In 1979, she sold the company for 47.5 million dollars. She didn’t live to see the end o f the contract (合同), dying in 1980, at the age of 56, in Texas.Bette’s invention continues to be used every day by secretaries and other peoplein the office and wherever typewriters are used.1. When Bette began to work in a bank, she ______.A.was too young to typeB. had graduated from secretary schoolC.had no experience in typingD. taught herself about typing2. It can be inferred that the first Liquid Paper ______.A. was produced by handB. was made by machineC. was bottled in the kitchenD. was tested in the factory3. What is the passage mainly about?A. A rock group.B. A secretary.C. Liquid Paper.D. Mistake Out.4. The passage is organized mainly in order of ______.A. importanceB. timeC. spaceD. popularityBHappy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old? That is a different story.Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心)American culture．Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel．”Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans seem to favor those who are young, or at least “young at heart”．Many ol der Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically, “senior citizens” often try just to get by．Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefitsusually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care, and housing. Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧视). American sociologist(社会学家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets．She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect．Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．Why? People are living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby boomers”(婴儿潮) are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon be a place where wrinkles（皱纹）are “in”．Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers．5. Growing up is a wonderful thing because ________.A. people can celebrate their birthdays.B. people can become more and mature and wiser.C. people can receive many presents.D. people will feel younger at heart.6. We can infer from the second paragraph that _________.A. young people lack experience and wisdom.B. American older people often joke about their old age.C. American culture is very young.D. different countries have different opinions on the old age.7. The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means “_________.”A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medicalcareB. the old people in America are probably leading a hard life without goodnutrition, medical care or housing.C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65.D. American social security benefits are not good.8. Fro m the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replacedby _______.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fastCThe human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mentalwell-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.9. Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things _______.A. tend to affect human survival immediatelyB. are easy to rememberC. are much more important than other thingsD. can make people live much happier10. According to this passage, people may find happiness in ________.A. being famousB. chasing powerC. setting life goalsD. earning money11. In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us to _________.A. think more about our futureB. be positive in our life and workC. focus on everything in our lifeD. only enjoy the present moment12. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. Why people remember positive things easily.B. Why people remember negative things easily.C. What makes people happy.D. What makes people sad.DEmail has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we communicate and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern about the way we write.Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. “The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.13. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.A. careless people use email more than careful peopleB. email requires people to change their native languageC. professors in universities don’t need to use emailD. people communicate by email full of mistakes14. In Lancashire’s opini on, email is a wonderful technology because _______.A. it can be useful all over the worldB. it is the fastest way to communicateC. we can express ourselves in a free wayD. we can save a lot of paper15. This passage mainly shows us that ______.A. people should stop using email to communicateB. experts hold different opinions about email writingC. Americans only use email to communicateD. email makes people lose interest in English第二节：（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

A"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you’ve come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s cont rol over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilitie s.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or con gratulation ). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly,” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when Iunderstood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.1. What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?A. FunnyB. StrangeC. TrueD. Confusing2. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?A. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.B. He praises his students one by oneC. He use videos to teach his studentsD. He asks his students to help each other3. Syona felt very pleased because_____.A. she has developed a cool attitudeB. her mother knew what she expressedC. her progress was appreciated by her parentsD. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate4. What change has taken place in the author’s family?A. They give each other praise every dayB. They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularlyC. They feel grateful to people in their livesD. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. A【解析】作者通过Chris Ulmer老师的教学经验和女儿进步的亲身经历，告诉了我们赞赏在进步和成功方面的巨大的无形的作用。

AWhen I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a chil dren’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit(配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama, all the people c ouldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied. A dream was born.Recently, I began pursuing my dream of motivating(inspire) others. I realized that everything I had accomplished —the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager—had prepared me for this moment. I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career. He told me to proceed and he believed I would succeed.Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage(抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather thanend up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles（奇迹）really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn’t miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客户). I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she marked, “The world always makes way for the dreamer.”1．Why was the kit sent for?A. Selling greeting cards.B. Collecting greeting cards.C. Buying greeting cards.D. Sending greeting cards.2．When did the author decide to become a motivational speaker?A. After buying a new home by mortgage.B. After giving notice to leave her secure position in the company.C. After finding a job in a major fortune 100 company.D. After listening to Mr. Ziegler’s inspiring speech.3．What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Carry on with your dreams and you will be successful.B. Risk everything you have for a dream and you will succeed.C. The world belongs to dreamers.D. Everyone will find their dreams.BLondon started its first major bike hire scheme (方案) on July 30th. Transport For London (TFL), the agency responsible for moving people around England’s capital, put 5,000 bicycles in 400 different places around the city.The idea is to cut traffic, reduce pollution and provide a greener way of getting around London’s streets. The scheme had a few small prob lems on its first day as people could not lock the bikes properly once they had finished riding them. As a gesture of goodwill, London Mayor Boris Johnson announced all rentals (租金) on the first day would be free of charge. The bikes are available for free for the first 30 minutes but costs go up sharplysince then. Renters have to pay $1.60 for the first hour and $78 for 24 hours. The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips.TFL says it sees a “cycle revolution” happening in London. It predicts there will be around 40,000 new cycle journeys every day on the rental bikes. Mr. Johnson says he wants to see a return to the turn of the 20th century, when 20 per cent of journeys in London were made by bicycle. The scheme has received a lot of positive feedback(反馈) in the first two days.Many Londoners believe it is a great alternative(替代品) to London’s overcrowded and overpriced trains and buses. One person, Andy Clark, told the Reuters news agency, “It’s a great idea. I’ve seen it operating in Paris and Barcelona and thought why don’t we have one?” The Londonist Blog said the bikes were very strong and were “designed to bear a beating from both careless cyclists and drunken people”.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. London starts a new bike hire scheme.B. London needs better measures to cut traffic.C. London encourages people to buy bikes.D. London decides to protect the environment.5. At the beginning of the scheme, there was some difficulty with the ____.A. rentalB. timeC. distanceD. lock6. Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the bike rental scheme?A. To reduce traffic pressure.B. To protect nature.C. To decrease pollution.D. To make the city beautiful.7. It can be learned from the passage that ____.A. the bikes are designed for long journeys in LondonB. it costs nearly $80 to rent one of the bikes for a dayC. London is the first city to start the bike rental schemeD. All Londoners approve of the schemeCIn Asia，there are many places for people to go to teach English. Most of the teachers are young and sociable，and there are a lot of parties there. Korea is usually the placemost people go，because they have the most benefits and highest salaries by working only twenty hours a week. Japan is also a good choice，but only if you stay there for a long time will you save some money.China is a new rising star and lots of people are going there. Like Japan，the pay is quite good，but the cost of living in China is much cheaper. You can save a sizable amount and complete all your loans back home. Besides，Chinese people are enterprising (有进取心的) and you can learn a lot from them. In China，Taiwan is a good place to go，especially for females who want to earn much，but there are not many adult classes offered.The Middle East offers very high salaries and great packages for teachers，all of which is tax free. However，you must be a certified teacher and have a few years' experience if you want to teach there. Most of the people who tend to teach there are older and more conservative，so they don't expect a party scene.Italy and Spain are two beautiful countries where you can try your fortune. Fashion industry in Milan would love to hire wellknown Englishspeaking people to work wi th international models and designers. Tourism is another industry in these countries，where English knowledge is useful. Moreover，by teaching in Europe you have the ability to travel every weekend to a new country and visit a new culture besides a good salary. Europe has a lot to offer.Teaching English overseas is a really rewarding experience. It is a great way for people to see a new place，and these countries and places are a great place for you to go if you are interested.8. What is the purpose of the passage？A. To explain the benefits of teaching English abroad.B. To recommend some places to those who want to teach English abroadC . To compare the places where English teaching is popular.D. To teach how to enjoy yourself when you teach English abroad9. Why does saving money in Japan take more time？A. It offers a lower salary.B. It offers fewer English classes.C. Its cost of living is higher.D. You have to pay a lot of tax.10. What does the underlined word“conservative”(i n Para 3) probably mean？A. knowledgeable.B. unfriendly.C. boring.D. unsociable.11. The common thing among the countries and areas mentioned is that .A. they all offer a good salary.B. English teachers only work 20 hours a week.C. teaching experience is not quite necessary.D. they offer chances to meet with famous models.DEngland has been the birthplace of most of the great English-language theater written throughout history. Most of the plays in England that are truly famous have something in common. They usually come from a playwright(剧作家) with several famous plays.ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare is considered the most famous British playwright. Shakespeare has a large catalog(目录) of tragedies, comedies and history plays, and each category is home to some of the most famous plays ever written. Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Julius Caesar are all tragedies and performed in theaters around the world every year. Famous comedies include A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. In the history category, Richard Ⅲ and Henry Ⅴ are very famous.Oscar Wilde and George Bernard ShawSeveral hundred years after Shakespeare, English people began to enjoy the works of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Wilde’s plays are still popular now, and The Importance of Being Earnest is both performed and studied extremely frequently. A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband are among his other famous works. Shaw and Wilde were born within a few years of each other, but Shaw was a much more productive writer. His most famous plays include Pygmalion and Candida. Shaw’s plays are loved so much that an entire theater company is devoted to performing his work in Niagara-on-the-Lake in southern Ontario.Harold PinterThe plays of Harold Pinter certainly have an international presence. His writing was so widely recognized for its importance that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2005. Pinter is especially known for his style of writing. Many of his plays such as Betrayal, The Dumb Waiter and his first play, The Room, are extremely well known.12.

He is a great creative artist．B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake．C. He made the most famous Land Art．D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art．22.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in ______ ．A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature23.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Works of Land Art．B. History of Land Art．C. Changes of Land Art．D. Introduction of Land Art．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】D【解析】1．A．细节理解题．根据第二段For examples，in 1970Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty（螺旋状防波堤），made of a collection of stones and mud，in the Great Salt Lake可知Robert Smithson是一位伟大的创意艺术家；故选A．2．B．细节理解题．根据文章Land Art is designed to gradually form，change，and eventually decay（衰落）．That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums可知土地艺术的独特之处在于它的发展和随着时间逐渐衰减；故选B．3．D．主旨大意题．根据文章Land Art，sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art，taking art out of the museum and into the outside world可知文章主要讲的是介绍土地艺术；故选D．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了土地艺术的历史和起源等相关信息．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BIf you have a chance to go to Finland，you will probably be surprised to find how"foolish"the Finnish people are．Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz（奔驰）with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare．The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety．The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners．Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter．With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge．The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate（价钱）．From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly（相地）．With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take"petty advantages"．But the strange thing is，all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business；not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman"．In a society of such high moral practice，what need is there for people to be on guard against others？24.While taking a taxi in Finland，______ ．A. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave withoutpaying25.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ______ ．A. provide meals for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed26.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？______A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour．B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees．C. The workers are always honest with their working hours．D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay．27.It can be concluded that ______ ．A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are rich．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】4．A．细节理解题．根据文章You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare可知在芬兰坐出租车，乘客是不会出租车司机被拒绝的无论他想去哪里；故选A．5．B．细节理解题．根据第三段Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals可知芬兰的大酒店提供食物为任何人；故选B．6．B．推理判断题．根据文章From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordin gly可知不是芬兰的老板太忙没有时间检查工人的工作时间，而是两者相互信任；故选B．7．C．细节理解题．根据最后一段As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman"可知芬兰社会具有很高的道德水平；故选C．文章描述了芬兰社会中一些在我们看来的奇怪的现象，从反面解释了芬兰社会很高的道德标准．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．CIt was a dark，wet November morning．It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again．I thought bears have got it right----what a perfect idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes!"Want some words of affirmation（肯定）？"a coworker，seeing my mood，kindly suggested．"You don't think they would cheer you up？""Today？No．"I shook my head．"I used to think so too，"he said，"until I realized the effect my words had on a certain person．Well，it was someone I knew pretty well．I have to say I reated him rather badly．" "You？But you are always so positive!How did you treat him badly？""I told him I did not like anything about him，really．I told him I did not even like his name．Infact，it wasn't only what I said．I also did pretty bad things to him．When he was hungry，I did not give him the chance to eat proper food．When he felt like doing something fun，I said to him that he was being childish and having fun was not productive （有成果的）．And worst of all，when he was sick and needed care，I did not care．I told him to get up and get to work．And when he did，I never told him he did good work．You could say I was ashamed of him，"he said．"I wanted to get rid of him because he just wasn't good enough for me---but couldn't．""But that was heartless!"He nodded．"Then one day it all changed．I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning．I saw the dark circles under his eyes，I saw the excess （过量的）weight．I saw the hair that needed cutting．And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world eagerly．Now they were so sad and tired．And there and then I realized he deserved better．So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person after all．"My jaw （下巴）dropped．I looked at him---full of positive energy，in good shape，always ready to encourage others．"Wow…"He winked （眨眼）at me．"So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror？The person in there has the greatest effect on you!"28.The first paragraph implies that ______ ．A. the author felt frustrated that morningB. the weather in November was the worst in a yearC. the author didn't enjoy his work environmentD. the author always felt bad in winter29.The author's coworker used to be a person who ______ ．A. was very proud of himselfB. treated people differentlyC. worked hard to keep fitD. criticized himself a lot30.Which paragraph gives a clue about who the person that a author's coworker treated badlywas？______A. Paragraph 4．B. Paragraph 8．C. Paragraph 6．D. The last paragraph．31.What does the author's coworker suggest the author do？______A. Be helpful to those in need．B. Be confident in the face of difficulty．C. Be positive about himself．D. Be kind to those who make mistakes．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】8-11 ADBC8．A 推理判断题，根据It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again．似乎它需要一百万年的时间才到夏天．这里用到了一个虚拟语气，冬天代表着寒冷，也说明作者的心情不好．故选A．9．D细节理解题，根据第6段的内容"I told him I did not like..""I told him I did not even like""Ialso did pretty bad things""I did not give him the chance"从使用的否定以及like词来看，作者是带有批判性，而且是有很多的看法，所以答案是选D criticized himself a lot 对他批评很多．故选D．10．B细节理解题，根据第8段的描述"I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning．有一天我站在卧室的镜子前"说明以下的内容是对着镜子说话的，也就是对他自己说话．故选B．11．C细节理解题，根据"I looked at him---full of positive energy，"和"So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror"两句都出现了positive energy，说明作者会积极地面对．故选C．这是一篇人物故事类阅读．主要讲述了作者通过和同事的对话，明白了需要振作自己．本文是一个人物故事类阅读理解．题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要联系上下文根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．DEdmonton's

food，reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee，but that is returned when the plate is brought back．The festival has completely sold out of tickets，and in record time．But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan，it's easy to see how that was going tohappen．There is no parking area during the festival，so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended．A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close．The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday，Aug.4

cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot．（16）______The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries：hina and India．Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India．（17）______ Then in Tang Dynasty of China，the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan，mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays．Though a bit different from the Chinese one，it belongs to the same system．When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization．This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome．（18）______ Like the Chinese culture，the European one also crossed waters．When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean．So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot．（19）______ ake the language system for example．In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latinsystem．Other causes like human race difference counts as well．But what's more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West，the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries．So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference （干扰）from the other．The differences are everywhere．（20）______ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful．The cultural gap should not be the obstacle （障碍）to the civilization of human being．It ought to be the motivation of our going farther．A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture．B．And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture．C．One important thing is to learn about other cultures．D．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles．E．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world．F．At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences．G．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole．32.

are two separate systems on the whole．这是因为这两个文化系统总体上是两个独立的系统．符合文意，故选G．17．D联系上文题．根据上文Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India．可知这两种文化发源于中国的黄河和印度的印度河．D项：They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles．他们帮助两种文化发展了几个世纪，形成了自己的风格．符合文意，故选D．18．B语境辨析题．根据上文This civilization later on developed into

culture．这两种文化作为欧洲文化的基地而出名．符合文意，故选B．19．F归纳总结题．根据下文可知，由于地域上的不同和其他差异，引起了文化差异．F 项：At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences．同时，一些其他的差异增加了文化差异．符合文意，故选F．20．E语境辨析题．根据上句The differences are everywhere．可知差异无处不在．E项：They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world．它们是显而易见的，影响着人们的思维方式和他们对世界的看法．符合文意，故选E．本文主要介绍了东方和西方的文化真的很不同，在总体上它们是两个独立的系统．由于一些其他差异，导致了文化差异，而这种差异无处不在，它们是显而易见的，影响着人们的思维方式和他们对世界的看法．在答题中，应首先略读各小题，了解一下大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别．特别注意文章上下文的串联结构．然后再细读题目，选出正确答案．答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成．四、完成句子（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）37.One
