Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. Asthe day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was greatly surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s grand entrance for a long time!【1】The text is mainly about __________.A．a strange manB．an unusual partyC．how roller skating beganD．how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century【2】People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he __________.A．was full of imaginationB．was a gifted musicianC．invented the roller skatesD．often gave others surprises【3】Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to __________.A．show his skill in walking on wheelsB．arrive at the party soonerC．test his inventionD．impress the party guests2.阅读理解。

嘉峪关市一中高一年级英语第二学期期中考试试题考试时间：100分钟试卷分值：120分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）A"If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!"That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud mus ic? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show.If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!1.

There is considerable evidence that inactivity is connected with increased risk for lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.In the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, more than 32,000 people(25,000 men and 7,000 women) were given a preventive medical examination that included a machine exercise test to measure physical fitness. They were given a physical fitness score, with one being the lowest and five being the highest fitness level. Then these people were followed for an average of 8 years. During this time, 179 men and 44 women died of cancer.Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with hig her levels of physical fitness. Studies from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas suggest that men with high fitness levels are less likely to die of cancer.The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study also found that fitness level was more important than weight in predicting longevity (长寿). While results showed that fitness and normal weight are the ideal combination, researchers found that men who were fat but performed well in the machine performance had just a slightly increased all-cause death rate, including cancer, compared to the more slim men. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than the slim, but flabby (肌肉松弛的) men.These statistics called for a warning (警告）to the overweight: The first health goal for the overweight should be to become as fit as possible at their current weight.12. The text mainly talks about .A. the effect of exercise on reducing chances of cancerB. how to lose weight effectivelyC. different ways to keep slimD. fat men live longer than slim ones13. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The study on the life of the overweight.B. The study on the relationship between taking exercise and cancer.C. The study on the ways of losing weight.D. The study on the effects of machine exercise.14. People with are more likely to die of cancer according to the text.A. slim bodyB. normal weightC. low fitness levelsD. constant machine exercise15. The author thinks the most important thing for the overweight is to .A. increase their fitness levelsB. choose to eat vegetablesC. be on a dietD. ask for help from doctors第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that thefather’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer49. Whose baby would have breathing diseases?A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are bornB.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are bornC.Mother who don’t smoke at allD.Mother whose mother smokes50. Suppose John’s father was a heavy smoker, so was Mary’ mother. According to this study, _________.A. John is more likely to develop lung cancerB. Mary is more likely to develop lung cancerC.

This passage is to __________.A. warn us of the danger of smoking before children.B. warn people with breathing problems not to smoke.C. warn us that mothers who smoke may affect their children’s health.D. warn us that fathers who smoke may affect their children as mothers4.Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn c omes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are c overed up by the green Chlorophyll. Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.52 the underlined word“chlorophyll” in the first Para means_________in Chinese.A 叶绿素B 氧气C 胡萝卜素D 蛋白质53 The way _________is called photosynthesis.A Plants get CO2 from the airB plants take water from the groundC plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.D Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.54 The gas called carbon dioxide is from the_________A groundB rootsC airD sunlight55 Which of the following is not true?A．when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.’C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer.5.In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice.Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers .Most hot lines are completely anonymous ,that is to say , callers do not have to say their names or telephone n umbers. Most hot lines are usually free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short training before starting to work on the hot lines. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems56. A hot line is a telephone line_________A that is hotB through which people get adviceC whose number no one knowsD through which callers take a short training57. the underlined word“anonymous”in the passage means_________in Chinese.A secretB well-knownC exactD wonderful58. When people call the hot line advisers, they_________A often give their names and telephone numbersB generally have to pay for the long distance callsC usually pay nothing for most of the calls and adviceD always try to get in touch with the volunteer advisers59. The advisers working at hot lines _________A have all been trained for a short timeB are all volunteersC have all received years of educationD are not all paid60 The writer of the passage seems to think that_________A hot lines help the callers a lotB advisers will solve all of the callers’ problemsC people had better pay for the adviceD people will not get advice from their families or friends五、单词拼写第II卷(共55分)第一节单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或首字母，在指定区域的横线上写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential（潜势）of that nation.If today in America, you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars —the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one shouldhold uprock starsas a model(推举…为榜样). The rock stars too often are involved with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area — SPORTS. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a mess. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model for young people.Today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are only rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.【小题1】The hero discussed in this article means a person ______.A．who has done something braveB．who plays an important role in a playC．whom people greatly admireD．who rides the waves and moves with the tides【小题2】What is true of the groups mentioned in this article?A．They are not fright but are good-looking.B．They are rich but are strict with themselves.C．They are talented in some area but lead an indecent life.D．They are perfect in every way.【小题3】American young people will not admire ______.A．a university professorB．a popular singerC．a football playerD．a film actress【小题4】According to the writer, people should hold up as their model those______. A．who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothesB．whose personal life is goodC．who can express people’s feelingsD．who work in the interests (利益) of the people4.假如你正在爱尔兰学习，你的朋友对于爱尔兰这个国家很感兴趣，请你根据下面提供的信息介绍一下Republic of Ireland 的基本情况。

嘉峪关市第一中学2013-2014学年第二学期期中考试高一英语试题第I卷一、阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AI arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is it?” I asked.“Oh?” Mom said, “That's Mama's quilt.”I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a maste r at making quilts. This didn't certainly look like any of the quilts she had made. “Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched (缝) a piece of cloth with those words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”“Ooh, this is so nice, mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my g randmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.1.

Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast f ood restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.See happy movies and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy.Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.12. Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. Because it’s available here and there.B. It’s delicious from chips to candy.C. It’s easily taken everywhere.D.

Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident. After the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court. When the accident happened, myroommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He said he had good reason to charge meand that if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsibl e for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report only contained ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to fire him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time … and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America, money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality; secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its advantages and disadvantages.【1】The author’s roommate offered to help h im because ________.A．he felt sorry for the author.B．he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC．he knew the doctor was a very good oneD．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer【2】 A good lawyer is important for the author to _______.A．be properly treatedB．talk with the person responsible for the accidentC．recover before he leaves AmericaD．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury【3】 Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?A．The author has learned a lot through the experience.B．Everything about America is advantageous.C．The author’s roommate helped him but charged for that.D．The author’s final examination report only contained ten lines but cost $215.【4】 What conclusion can you draw from this story?A．Going to court is something very common in America.B．One must be very careful while driving a car.C．There are more disadvantages in America than advantages.D．Money is more important than other things in the US.2.While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce itseffect when it can’t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．◆Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.◆Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stre ssful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor．◆Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping orwork on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．◆Make a list of things to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．【1】Which of the following statements shows that you have fallen into stressful situations？A．You can't sleep well all the time．B．You have a break after work．C．You always feel happy and relaxed．D．You only do one thing at a time．【2】According to the passage，how do you make a list of things to do?A．Try to take care of everything at once．B．Do one thing at a time．C．Only do the most important thing．D．Have a break from your work．【3】What is the best title for the passage?A．How to Deal with Stress?B．How to Make Time for Yourself?C．How to Take Care of Yourself?D．How to Make a List of Things to Do?【4】Which of the following would be the advice to deal with stress according to the passage?A．just lie in bed for a restB．always listen to pop musicC．insist on doing workD．make a list to do things one by one3.Zoe, Damacela, 19, didn't have nice c lothes when she was young. It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing(缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her company grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe ’s success became a news item.Superm odel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized I felt really unreal,”says Zoe. Zoe has advice for teens who want to start their own business. “If you really work hard on it, you will be able to make it hap pen,” she says. “If I can do it, anyone else can.”【1】We can learn that ______when she was in grade nine.A．Zoe had no interest in designing clothesB．Zoe seldom wore her self-made clothesC．Zoe didn' t know how to make moneyD．Zoe attended a business course【2】After winning the contest, Zoe ______A．considered it a rewardB．expected to be knownC．was proud of her own giftD．could hardly believe it【3】Zoe advised the teens ______ .A．to make efforts to achieve their dreamsB．to design and make their own clothesC．to try every means to become famousD．to do whatever they would like to【4】What is the main idea of the passage?A．How Zoe learned to design clothes.B．A poor girl achieved success in business.C．How Zoe got a prize in a contest.D．A poor girl was invited to a TV show.st month, students from one hundred and three universities in eighty-eight countries took part in an international computer programming contest, which took place in Harbin, China. Three-person teams from each school had five hours to solve eleven real world problems.The students first listed the problems in order of difficulty. Then they figured out the requirements of each. They designed ways to test their solutions. And they wrote the needed software systems. Even the winning team from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China was not able to solve all the problems within the given limit. Stanford’s team solved five problems and finished in fourteenth place. Stanford was one of twenty-one American universities that took part in the contest this year.The official name of the Battle of the Brains is the ACM International Collegiate Contest. The first final competition was held in 1977 at the Association for Computer Machinery Computer Science Conference. Today, a network of universities holds area competitions that send the winners to the world finals, now organized by IBM.

甘肃高一高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解E AND EAT HEREWang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!【1】Something terrible must have happened to Wang Peng’ restaurant because ________.A．he didn’t got up early and prepared his menu.B．he served too much fat and oil in his foodC．the food in Yong Hui’s restaurant is more deliciousD．Lao Li didn’t go into his restaurant【2】The strength of the diet in Wang Peng’s restaurant was that it provided _______.A．barbecued mutton and roast porkB．stir-fried vegetables and fried riceC．sugary cold cola and ice creamD．more energy-giving food【3】The underlined sentence may have the same meaning as ________.A．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people without being discovered.B．Wang Peng could allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people.C．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people and got away.D．Wang Peng could not have Yong Hui telling lies, then getting away with people.【4】From paragraph 4 we can know that Wang Peng ______.A．was hard working because went to study in the libraryB．tried to get himself to be more learned(博学的)C．wanted to study the differences between the food that served in his restaurant and Yong Hui’sD．just searched for a better menu【5】Why did Wang Peng feel more hopeful as he drove back home after he came out of the library?

He sits down at atable next to the front window.)OWNER: (seeing Henry's poor appearance) That one's reserved. This way, please. (to the waiter) Take this gentleman's order, Horace.HENRY: (after sitting down and putting the letter on the table) I'd like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak. Make it extra thick. I'd also like a cup of coffee and a pineapple dessert.WAITER: Right, sir. I'm afraid it'll cost a large amount of money.HENRY: I understand. And I'll have a large glass of beer.WAITER: OK. (The waiter leaves and soon returns with all the food.)HOSTESS: My goodness! Why, look at him. He eats like a wolf.OWNER: We'll see if he's clever as a wolf, eh?HENRY: (having just finished every bit of food) Ah, waiter. (waiter returns) Same thing again, please. Oh, and another beer.WAITER: Again? Everything?HENRY: Yes, that's right. (sees the look on the waiter's face) Anything wrong?WAITER: No, not at all. (to the owner) He's asked for more of the same.OWNER: Well, it is well-known that Americans like to eat a lot. Well, we'll have to take a chance. Go ahead and let him have it.WAITER: (reading the bill after the meal) All right. That's two orders of ham and eggs, two extra thick steaks, two large glasses of beer, two cups of coffee and two desserts.HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall) Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?WAITER: (in a rude manner) What's there to wait for?OWNER: All right, Horace. I'll take care of this.HENRY: (to owner) That was a wonderful meal. It's amazing how much pleasure you get out of tile simple things in life, especially if you can't have them for a while.OWNER: Yes, very interesting. Now perhaps, sir, if you pay your bill I can help the other customers.HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall again) Well, I see it's two o'clock. (he opens the envelope and holds a million pound bank note in his hands. Henry is surprised but the owner and waiter are shocked) I'm very sorry. But ... I ... I don't have anything smaller.OWNER: (still shocked and nervous) Well .. er ... just one moment. Maggie, look! (the hostess screams, the other customers look at her and she puts a hand to her mouth) Do you think it's genuine?HOSTESS: Oh, dear, I don't know. I simply don't know.OWNER: Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount ... Anyway, I don't think it can be a fake. People would pay too much attention to a bank note of this amount. No thief would want that to happen.HOSTESS: But he's in rags!OWNER: Perhaps he's a very strange, rich man. (as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why, yes! That must be it!HOSTESS: (hits her husband's arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once. OWNER: (to Henry) I'm so sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this bank note.HENRY: But it's all I have on me.OWNER: Oh, please, don't worry, sir. Doesn't matter at all. We're so very glad that you even entered our little eating place. Indeed, sir, I hope you'll come here whenever you like.HENRY: Well, that's very kind of you.OWNER: Kind, sir? No, it's kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honour! As for the bill, sir, please forget it.HENRY: Forget it? Well ... thank you very much. That's very nice of you.OWNER: Oh, it's for us to thank you, sir and I do, sir, from the bottom of my heart.

It is important that we look after the Earth. We need it!The Earth gives us a lot of things. We also give the Earth a lot, but some of the things are not good.In nature, when something dies, other animals and plants get food from it. Everyanimal or plant gives food for other animals or plants. However, animals can’t get food from many of the things that we ‘give’ the Earth. Animals and plants can’teat metal, plastic and glass. These things will stay in the ground for many, many years.Some rubbish is very dangerous for plants and animals. In some places, many animals live together. One animal makes food for many more animals. If we put rubbish and chemicals in the water, the plankton(浮游生物) can die. If there isn’t any plankton, many animals have nothing to eat.So what can we do?

An NMH student inviting his parents to watch the play together should pay $10CAmerican doctors say that mothers who smoke cigarettes before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies’ lungs. They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of thechildren smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the father’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer49. Whose baby would have breathing diseases?A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are bornB.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are bornC.Mother who don’t smoke at allD.Mother whose mother smokes50.Suppose John’s father was a heavy smoker, so was Mary’mother.According to this study, _________.A.

Plants take water from the ground through their roots. Theytake a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose〔葡萄糖〕.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .〞 A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know〞to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green Chlorophyll.Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.52 the underlined word“chlorophyll〞in the first Para meansin Chinese.A 叶绿素B 氧气C 胡萝卜素D 蛋白质53 The way is called photosynthesis.A Plants get CO2 from the airB plants take water from the groundC plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.D Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.54 The gas called carbon dioxide is from theA groundB rootsC airD sunlight55 Which of the following is not true?A. when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.B. During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.’C. During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.EIn the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice. Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers .Most hot lines are completely anonymous,that is to say , callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers. Most hot lines are usually free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time people with years of education and experience, butsometimes, the advisers have only taken a short training before starting to work on the hot lines. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems56. A hot line is a telephone lineA that is hotB through which people get adviceC whose number no one knowsD through which callers take a short training57. the underlined word“anonymous〞in the passage meansin Chinese.A secretB well-knownC exactD wonderful58.When people call the hot line advisers, theyA often give their names and telephone numbersB generally have to pay for the long distance callsC usually pay nothing for most of the calls and adviceD always try to get in touch with the volunteer advisers59.
