年高二英语下学期第一次月考英语试题(含答案)
年高二英语下学期第一次月考英语试题(含答案)留意：时间90分钟，总分 120分一卷I. 阅读理解〔每题2分，总分 30分〕ＡIn the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, ittakes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painti ng training center for them.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yuan. That’s much higher than average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.1. How was life for the disabled people in the past?A. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.C.

From the passage we can learn that ________.A. the disabled had to earn a living by workingB. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these yearsC. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent yearsD. more and more disabled people will learn to paint3. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing worksB. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brough t abroadC. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sold to foreignersD. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintings4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A kind of folk art in China.B. Knife-drawing was first developed in Dunhua.C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.D.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Opportunity.B. A Winner’s Secret.C. A Winner’s Problem.D. A Winner’s Achievement.CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will lasta very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.9.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by .A、diseases and agingB、accidents and warC、accidents and agingD、heart disease and war10.In the author’ s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies in .A、medicineB、the InternetC、brain cellsD、human organ11.Humans may live longer in the future because .A、heart disease will be far away from usB、human brains can decide the final deathC、the basic materials of cells will last foreverD、human organs can be repaired by new medicine12.We can learn from the passage that .A、human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB、humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC、much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD、we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDAmong all the malignancies (恶性肿瘤), lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 10,000 Americans die of the diseasea year. Giving up smoking is one of the obvious ways to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene (胡萝卜素).The finding, published in the British medical journal ＴｈｅＬａｎｃｅｔ, is a part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr Richard Shekelle of Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center, th e researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects’ dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The connection seems logical, explains Shekelle, since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelial (上皮的) tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. Preformed vitamin A is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butterand eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash (南瓜), tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found few connections between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A. But when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the 488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer; in a group of the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene helps even longtime smokers, but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the links between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely poisonous in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balanced diet that includes foods rich in carotene. For a smoker, half a cup of carrots every day might make the difference between life and death.13. Which of the following might be most helpful for people to avoid getting lung cancer?A. Eating vegetables containing carotene every day.B. Giving up smoking right now.C. Eating more fresh fruits every day.D. Eating a simple everyday diet.14. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A. Shekelle has been researching lung cancer since 1957B. the links between diet and lung cancer were discovered by Shekelle himselfC. Shekelle got the finding after monitoring 2,000 men for many yearsD. the researchers have investigated the relationship between diet and disease for half a century15. The examinations on groups of people of the same size showed that ________.A. few people got lung cancer because most of them have a well-balanced dietB. the incidence of lung cancer is closely related to the intake of caroteneC. the intake of carotene has little protective effect on longtime smokersD. the result of the earlier research is false and of no useII. 完形填空〔30分〕In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__16__course about 20 years ago.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from ―another earth‖? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.新| 课|标|第|一| 网ABC means American–United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside —looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 21．―ABC‖ in this passage means ―____________‖.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22．Chinese in Western countries are called ―banana persons‖ because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23．N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A . American Chinese are great.B. We love American Chinese.C. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizensD. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24．This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, ―China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.‖Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters o r waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC．there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD．the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The person who caused the problem B．The mediator himselfC．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 27．This passage mainly talks about _______.A．how to make B．the special functions of the teahouses C．how to open a teahouse D．the special way of enjoying teaCBeijing is facing severe (严重的) traffic problems."Roads are wider now, but traffic jams (堵塞) often happen every day. " Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2007, the re were a few subway lines in Beijing. There was only line 1, line 2, line 13 and Batong Line. But now there is line 5, line 10, line 4, the airport fast -track and the Olympic branch line. And there will be 13 subway lines under construction in Beijing at the same time at the end of this year.The opening of the new subway line is convenient to tourists. Before, arriving in Beijing, many visitors would usually take a taxi to interesting places of Beijing. Today, as soon as people get off the plane, they can take the Airport Express Line, going to different interesting places through the subway lines. The government also strives to open a new line each year from now until 2015. The subway of Beijing reached 300 kilometers in 2010 and it will reach 561 kilometers in 2015.Miss Xiao, who lives in South Water Bridge and works at Hepingli, said that traveling by her car still took her at least one hour from home to work because of traffic jams.

Railway lines in Beijing only covers some areas.C. Beijing government has done something to make traffic jams less.D. Beijing welcomes visitors from different places.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say lu ck, talent, and circumstances（环境）don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical（可行的）. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t p ut in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable（难以忍受的）pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking th at way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined wor d ―that‖ refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.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。

高二第二学期第一次月考试题(附答案)第一部分阅读理解(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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AMy three-year-old granddaughter fell from her bike onto the road before I could catch her. Emily lay there for a moment, guessing her chances of survival. Finding the chances were in her favor, she sat up with a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her knee. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort as I carried her into the house to mend her hurt.With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment on her knee. I kissed her cheek. “All better now, sweetie？”“No, Grandma. you must say the Mommy words.” she said. I quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind: Please? Thank you? I love you? “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me all better.” Emily took a deep breath and recited (朗诵), “A little k iss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love.”My mind raced and I remembered. It was the same little song that I had said to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the “Mommy words” that made all bad things go away and only the good remain. Hearing it now, I realized that though I had never metmy grandmother. I did know her. We were mothers —we were connected at the heart.I heard my grandmother's, my mother's, my daughter's, my granddaughter's, and my own voice mixing through time.“Don't cry, Grandma. I am all better.” Emily and I kissed and hugged, and said the Mommy words to each other.21．After falling from the bike, Emily lay on the ground for a moment ________.A. wondering if she was aliveB. waiting for her grandmother's helpC. because she was badly injuredD. because she was deeply shocked22．Why did Emily ask the author to say the Mommy words?A. She missed her mother very much.B. She just wanted to confuse the author.C. She wanted the author to comfort her.D. She hoped to learn the Mommy words.23．The underlined word “her” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. the author's grandmotherB. the author's motherC. the author's daughterD. the author's granddaughter24．What do you think is the theme of the story?A. A mother's love is great.B. Children are our teacher.C. True love shows itself in time of need.D. Kind words are the music of the world.BYou just heard you have a math test on Friday — the same day as your big history test and weekly quiz on Spanish verbs. How will you get all your studying done?Studying for tests and quizzes actually starts before you even know you'll have a test. Good study techniques begin in the classroom as you take notes. Note-taking is a way of remembering what you were taught or what you've read about. Even if you are an amazingly organized and neat note-taker, copying and organizing notes after class helps you absorb and understand the material. And that makes studying easier and faster at test time.As you study, review your notes and any special information from your textbook. In the case of math or science problems, do some practice. Pay special attention to anything the teacher seemed to stress in class.Many teachers tell students ahead of time what the format (格式) of an exam will be. This can help you study. For example, if the exam will contain essay questions, you'll want to think about which topics are most likely to be covered. Then come up with several possible essay topics and use your notes, books and other reference sources to figure out how you might answer questions on those topics.When trying to memorize dates, names, or other factual information, keep in mind that it usually takes a number of tries to remember something correctly. Read things over several times if youneed to, and write down any phrases or thoughts that will help you remember main ideas or concepts.25．The best title for the passage would be “________”．A. Note-taking Is ImportantB. How to Study in ClassC. How to Prepare for ExamsD. Ways to Study26．According to the passage, the first step to get a high score in a test is to ________.A. remember what you've learnedB. take notes in classC. understand what you're taughtD. do more exercises27．Before an exam teachers usually tell students ________.A. what they'll examine onB. what they should pay attention toC. how to answer questionsD. the ways to take an examcIf you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Greenhouse of Flowers, you will have a chance to see some meat-eating plants. Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pool. But these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom, able to catch a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap (陷阱) door!Once the trap door closes on the animal falling into it, theenzymes (酶) similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready for trap again.Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food value. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional (营养) needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continent.Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers( a container like a bottle) full of honey.The Asian pitcher plant, for example, has bright colors and an attractive half-closed cover. Curious insects are attracted to come close and take a drink, then fall down the slippery wall to their deaths.Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons(7.5 liters). Meat-eating plants only eat people in science movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.28．From Paragraph 1, we can know that meat eating plants can ________.A. catch 50 small insects in a secondB. catch an insect in the shortest timeC. be found floating on a quiet lakeD. notice an insect in 1/50 of a second29．What does it mean if the trap door of a meat-eating plant isclosed?A. The plant is fooling insects into taking a drink.B. The plant is producing honey.C. The plant is attracting insects to come close.D. The plant is enjoying a dinner.30．Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they ________.A. can get nutrition from animalsB. don't need much food valueC. can make the most of such conditionsD. have developed digestive enzymes31．We learn from the text that meat-eating plants ________.A. are big and tallB. like to grow in dry landC. look bright and beautifulD. are usually covered with hairDA Day of HopeA Day of Hope is a student-run non-profit (非营利性的) organization that sends baskets of food for Thanksgiving to poor families in Northern California. Over the past three years, A Day of Hope has sent baskets of food to 405 families in need.Arts for All AgesArts for All Ages is a non-profit organization that travels to schools, day care centres (日托所), and homeless shelters with the intention of giving children the opportunity to experience and experiment with the performing and fine arts in central Florida.

On the other hand, some students are lazy, and are not interested in their lessons, nor do they work hard. So in order to finish the assignments and please their teachers, some students copy others’ homework.In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others’ homework because it breaks the rules of the school. We should be honest and try to finish our homework by ourselves instead of by copying. If you have trouble doing your homework you can ask your classmates or teachers for help.。

AIf you intend to pay a visit to America, here are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.www. 101usaholidays. co. ukThis is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to the USA. It’s a diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California’s Napa Valley. Narrow down what you’re looking for — whether by price, region, theme and who will be traveling — and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It’s a really clever design.http://byways. OrgThe National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural scenic routes, such as Route l along the California coast. Others focus on history (such as Route 66) or man-made attra ctions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you’re provided with a map telling the route’s length and how long is allowed.www. oyster. comThis is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and tourist sites. There are photos of each hotel. Importantly, these are not promotional photos provided by the hotels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by inspectors. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.Http://seaworldparks. comSeaWorld in San Diego can make dreams come true, but the price is not affordable for the majority of people. So turn to long-established, giving big discounts on tickets, hotel and dining at seaworldparks. com.21．The text is probably from __________.A. a science reportB. a news articleC. a book reviewD. a travel brochure22．Travel ideas for wine lovers are available at __________.A. http: //byways. OrgB. www. 101usaholidays. co. ukC. www. oyster. ComD. http: //seaworldparks. com23．What can be inferred from the text?A. You can see some man-made attractions driving along Route 66.B. The National Scenic Byways Program covers all American roads.C. Photos on www. oyster. com can be trusted by tourists.D. http://seaworldparks. com is a newly established website.BAt home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red bur ned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In res ponse, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?24. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?A. Confusing but amusing.B. Easy to understand.C. Boring and annoying.D. Accurate and helpful.25. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. tasteB. lookC. stepD. risk26. The passage mainly deals with ______.A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishesB. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurantC. a comparison between Western food and Chinese foodD. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English27. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.A. examples and statementsB. comparison and conclusionC. causes and effectsD. time and descriptionCMost heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him— supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or yo u can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.28. Bike Batman is _____.A. a superheroB. a website managerC. a Seattle citizenD. a police officer29. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _____.A. contact the owner of the stolen bikeB. look up the bike’s informationC. call the police departmentD. arrange to meet the thief30. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to _____.A. become famousB. help poor peopleC. punish bike thievesD. build a friendly city31. From the passage, we can learn that _____.A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrestedB. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accidentC. the police failed to perform their dutiesD. the thieves refused to return the bikesDThis year’s flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasn’t yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫苗)—with its excellent 36 percent effectiveness—would not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so here's what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune(免疫的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands. But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, it's nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate(先天的) system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader, the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates a serious inflammation(炎症) throughout the body. But the worst is still to come. Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify what's special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. All the vaccine is not effective.B. No one can avoid catching this year's flu.C. This year's flu is the most serious one in recent years.D. Public health officials have to use a gun when necessary.33. Why many parts of your body suffer while you're recovering from a flu?A. Because recovery from illness is painful.B. Because your immune system is working against your defense system.C. Because your body is fighting hard against the flu.D. Because the influenza virus attacks your nose, throat and other parts.34. The underlined word “fun” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by.A. joyB. battleC. actionD. program35. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. The fight between innate immune system and the adaptive.B. The categories of immune system.C. The way immune system works.D. The process of the development of immune system.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。

ABikes are popular in the Netherlands.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bike designer,Th omas,has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.The big bike has eight sets of pedals（踏板） for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,he’s sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats.Along with the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United S tates.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike,it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.1.How do people in the Netherlands usually go to work?A.By car.B.By bus.C.By bike.D.On foot.2.The school buses are yellow in the Netherlands because ______.A.the color yellow is easy to paintB.yellow buses can be seen easilyC.yellow is the national color of the NetherlandsD.it's the designer's favorite color3.Which country of the following hasn’t boug ht a school bus bike?A.America.B.Germany.C.England.D.Belgium.4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Thomas made a new kind of school bus.B.A school bus usually costs $25,000.C.Thomas sold bikes to Asian countries.D.Riding school bus bikes helps keep kids healthy.BStephen Hawking was born in Oxford,England on 8th January,1942.He went to school in St Al bans—a small city near London. Although he did well,he was never top of his class. After leaving school,Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics,then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学).As he himself admitted he wasn't very serious about studying. He was a very lazy student,and did very little work. However,he still achieved extremely good marks（分数）.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20.He started to bump into （碰撞） things,and often fell over for no reason. When he visited his family at Christmas time,his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for test. Finally,the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病),an incurable（无法治愈的） illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away. Doctors said he would die before he was 23.At first,Hawking became extremely depressed (忧郁的).After a while,though,he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness had been diagnosed (诊断),there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital,I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhi le things I could do.” Hawking married,found a job at Cambridge University,where he still works today,and had three children. He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.His story shows that nobody,however bad the ir situation is,should lose hope,“Life is not fair（公平的）,” he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in the situation you are in.”5.As a university student,Stephen Hawking ________.A.worked extremely hardB.studied moths and chemistryC.was lazy and did very little workD.only achieved average marks6.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when ________.A.he visited his family at Christmas time one yearB.he was 20C.his father made him see a doctorD.he was sent to hospital for test7.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Hawking's education.B.Hawking's reaction(反映) to being seriously ill.C.Hawking's views on life.D.Diagnosis of Hawking's motor neurone disease.8.Hawking believes that ________.A.you should always do your best however bad your situation isB.life is fairC.nobody's life is as bad as hisD.it's OK to lose hopeCRecently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean (地中海), swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted（点缀） with storybook sailboats(帆船) were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn't believe my eyes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wa nted to do“one day". It was one of the things we talked in detail（详细地） about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on(兑现,实现) those plans.We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning.We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange（安排） time off from work. We renewed our passports（护照）, and then packed our bags.We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse（多样的）, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes (刹车) on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine（安排） of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out (休息时间).It was a wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible（难以置信的） moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we'll be glad we did it. I know we'll be happy that this isa chapter of the story of our family.9.What was the author's attitude toward the trip when planning it?A.Calm.B.Expectant（期待的）.C.Stressed.D.Worried.10.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Preparing for the vacation.B.Having fun in the picture-perfect Mediterranean.C.Experiencing a different and beautiful world.D.Learning to study during trips as young adults.11.What was the main purpose of the author taking this trip?A.To allow her children to see the world.B.To teach her kids to value life.C.To teach her kids what they can't learn in school.D.To enjoy a family break away from their usual busy life.12.How did the author feel after her two months in Europe?A.Exhausted（精疲力尽的）.C.Disappointed.D.ProudDWhether they're playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, adverts（广告） are everywhere.In fact, according to US market research company Yankelovich, the average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.However, ads don't just act as a tool for getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images to be produced in newspapers and magazines. Looking at some of these early ads is like taking a step back in time to another world.For example, an 1881 advert for French cigarettes promised that its product would “give immediate relief” to a list of medical conditions, including breathing problems. And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their baby's milk.These days, of course, the harmful effects of both smoking and sugary drinks are well known. But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may consider some of today's ads to be just as bizarre.“Advertising often serves as an indicator（指示） for what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time,” US marketing expert（专家） wrote on the Ad Council's website.In spite of being designed to sell or advertise something, some ads can even become part of a society's vernacular (方言).In the UK, for example, a slogan(标语) created in 1994 to advertise paint is used in everyday conversation by many Britons（英国人）. The phrase, “It does exactly what it says on the tin", is used to describe an item or product that's open, straightforward and simple. Meanwhile, also in the UK, if someone describes themselves as a “Marmite person”, this means that you may either love them or hate them, based on the British food Marmite's slogan, “Love it or hate it.”So, in spite of what we may think of them, it seems that ads are a bigger part of everyday life than we think they are.Instead of finding them annoying, however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived - no matter how unusual today's world may seem to them.13.What does the underlined word“bizarre” in Paragraph 9 probably mean?A.Typical.C.Strange.D.Misleading（误导的）.14.The examples of the two British phrases are mentioned mainly to ____.A.prove most ads in the past were simpleB.show ads can influence everyday languageC.explain why some ads are very popularD.show that British people love to use words from ads15.What's the article mainly about?A.The history of modern adverts.B.The changing roles of ads.C.How ads reflect history and societies.D.Ads that have influenced our lives.II.阅读七选五（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。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that w oman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has b een immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.7. The passage can b e seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCImagine you got paid to do shopping, and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about her experience, commenting on things like：How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " Thank you.”？Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about something like "What was your best shopping experience?"What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year."I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”8. Amy Knott is paid to go shopping .A. to comment on some thingsB. to see whether the cashier says "Thank you."C. to see whether the restroom has soap and tissueD. to do a research for a company to improve its service9. Which of the following is NOT the qualification for a mystery shopper?A. A good memory.B. Passing an interview.C. Good writing skills.D. An eye for detail.10. As a mystery shopper, Amy Knott feels the job .A. a sad thingB. a surprising thingC. a tiresome mailerD. a great pleasure11. What does the underlined word "luxury" in the last paragraph mean?A. A condition of much noise.B. A condition of large size.C. A condition of great comfort.D. A condition of special cheapness.DTeaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call ‘teacher burnout’, a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2017 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as ke eping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”12. What does ‘teacher burnout’ in Paragraph 1 mean?A. A situation of physical exerciseB. A condition of happiness and sorrowC. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional relaxationD. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional tiredness13. What do we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A. A 2010 study was conducted by a college.B. Forty-six percent of teachers report high daily stress in last year’s study.C. Nearly half of American teachers leave the profession before their tenth year.D. Daily stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of teaching.14. What do mindfulness training programs designed for teachers try to do?A. They try to make teachers enjoy those activities fullyB. They try to reduce teacher stress to help teachers be more effective when teachingC. They try to make teachers take slow, deep breaths to become calmD. They try to make teachers spend time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings15. What can we infer from Naughton’s words?A. Enjoy all kinds of activities carefully.B. Don’t be distracted by worries or possibilities.C. The deep breathing methods are a good way to let her keep calm when faced with stress.D. The deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”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。

AHow to become a conservation officer: Jade's storyPart1 : J ade’s storyHi, I'm Jade. I'm 20 years old and I'm an apprentice conservation officer. Conservation is protecting the natural environment and trying to make it thrive and flourish as much as possible. My job really is to try and get as many people engaged in nature as possible and doing an apprenticeship like this, which is so diverse, really means that I can try every different area of this job out and see which fits me the best. And it means that I also get paid at the same time. I've always been a massive animal lover. I love being so close to them and observing the behaviours and I love the enthusiasm.This job has helped me vastly from day-to-day stress and anxiety, to just general happiness, I'm in such a better place because of it. I'm working with so many amazing supportive people and I really couldn’t be happier right now!Part 2: What to expect if you want to be a conservation officerWhen Jade finishes her apprenticeship, she will be a conservation officer. A role similar to Jade's is a countryside officer.●Countryside officer salary: ￡18,000 to ￡50,000 per year●Countryside officer working hours: 39 to 41 hours per week●Typical entry requirements: To do an advanced apprenticeship in environmentalconservation like Jade’s, you'll usually need 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education or equivalent at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), including English and Maths.Paid or unpaid work experience can be very useful when applying for jobs.Organisations like the Conservation Volunteers, the National Trust and the WildlifeTrusts offer training for volunteers.1.In what ways does the job help Jade?A.By providing her with one-on-one training.B.By improving her confidence in protecting nature.C.By helping her relieve the pressure and stress.D.By training her in finding different types of jobs.2.Why does the text mention the countryside officer salary?A.Because it can attach importance to the job.B.Because it can call on people to apply for the job.C.Because it can show the popularity of the job.D.Because it can remind people to protect nature.3.How can you become a conservation officer?A.Grade 9 to 4 (A* to C) in English or Maths.B.Have paid or unpaid work experience.C.Get 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education.D.Volunteer in organisations like the Wildlife Trusts.BIt's 1944, in occupied Paris. Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A. He was sent to a concentration camp.B. He moved to live in Argentina.C. He was swiftly sent on to die.D. He protested his family's detention6.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky ?A. Enthusiastic and gentle.B. Expressive and humble.C. Disciplined and modest.D. Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary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。

第一部分：听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside — looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These peoplemay be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.21．“ABC” in this passage means “____________”.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22．Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23．N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A . American Chinese are great.B. We love American Chinese.C. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizensD. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24．This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.”Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters o r waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC．there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD．the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?

" Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2020, the re were a few subway lines in Beijing.

I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances（环境）don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical（可行的）. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studyingand practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t pu t in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable （难以忍受的）pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee（保证） you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32.
