AI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him2. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.3. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.4. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.BStreet art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.5. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.B. Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.B. There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.D. All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.7. The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because________.A. they caused arguments between peopleB. they were ugly in someone’s eyesC. they were not painted under proper guidanceD. they didn’t express traditional culture8.Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Way to Become a Street ArtistB. What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?C. The History of Street Art MovementD. The Work of Street Artists CIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels. Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power! There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all importantpurchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.9.The underlined word leery means _________.A. distrustfulB. confidentC. hopefulD. disappointed10. Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.A. shopping freedomB. shopping convenienceC. Internet accessD. Shopping security11.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current onlineshopping?A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unrealB. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenientC. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortableD. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow12.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to thepopularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.A. Internet companiesB. advertising companiesC. courier companiesD. credit card companiesDDear Ms. Wang, I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when thoseprofessors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.Yours,Edward Johnson13. According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1?A. Critical thinking.B. 5-paragraph essay.C. Sentences to paragraphing.D. Writing for TOEFL and CEE.14. We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course______.A. has aroused students’ interestB. enjoys a nationwide reputationC. has won a number of awardsD. benefits anyone who takes it15. Why does Edward write this letter?A. To seek assistance from the administration.B. To inform the school of his course plans.C. To show his achievements in Latin.D. To apply for the teaching position.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。

松滋二中2014-2015学年度高二下学期6月月考英语试卷二、阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分，满分40分）AMake the most of collegeDear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament（证明）of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t extremely impotant for your life, the learning skills you gain will be so mething you will cherish（怀念）forever.Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped by what others think or say, but make up your own mind.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them –pick the ones who are sincere and honest to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities.Start planning early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses.Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it!College is the four years where you have:The greatest amount of free timethe first chance to be independentthe most flexibility（灵活性）to changethe lowest risk for making mistakesSo please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny（命运）, be bold（敢于冒险的）to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you become just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (&Mom)1．What does the author think college life holds in store for his daughter? ______A. UncertaintyB. Pure enjoyment.C. Successes and challenges.D. Experimentation with life.2．What does the author advise his daughter to do in college?______A. Plan everything.B. Party with friends in her free time.C. Ignore what others think or say.D. Treasure and make the best of her college years.3．Which of these pieces of advice is given in the article?_____a. think and live independentlyb. learn how to learnc. choose friends with similar personalitiesd. be genuine and sinceree. try new thingsA. abcB. bceC. cdeD. abe4．From the text, we can conclude the father ______.A. is worried about his daughterB. is optimistic about his daughter’s futureC. is strict with his daughterD. is sad that his daughter is leaving homeBOne of the most traditional features of American culture is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.5．From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _______.A. Hagner busies herself by following a trendB. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time jobC. Hagner is interested in sports and musicD. Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons6．British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _______.A. treat their children as sports playersB. give their children little time to develop freelyC. bring up their children in a simple wayD. pay no attention to their children's lessons7．The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ________.A. activities in the country are too competitiveB. children should attend four clubs at a timeC. clubs should have more subjects for school childrenD. some clubs result in competitive pressures8．The last paragraph tells us that in Britain _______.A. parents used to take their children to every clubB. parents have all benefited from children’s clubsC. parents used to be wise on how to raise childrenD. parents have come to know the standard of educationCMy grandmother was from a town in Michigan. Summer after summer, I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in. People knew everyone, their kids, their pets, their ancestors. The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting. She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’d make beautiful quilts for each one. I remember the small thimble(顶针) she would use while doing her needle work.A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth, I bid farewell to a loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change. We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday.I missed her very much. On one particular birthday, when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam(接缝) that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble! How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her. Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me. What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight atsewing her thimble inside my pillow.I made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and enjoyed my tea and Grandma’s thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!9．The author liked staying with her grandparents because________.A. they often bought her some giftsB. she was curious about people and things thereC. she could have tea parties and eat sandwichesD. she could learn to sew quilts10．How did the author feel when she found the silver thimble?A. SadB. ProudC. LuckyD. Cheerful11．It can be inferred from the passage that the silver thimble________.A. was the item the author had been trying to findB. was the most treasured possession of GrandmaC. was very precious to the authorD. was a birthday gift Grandma had given the author12．What is the best title for the passage?A.A little pillowB. Grandma’s silver thimbleC. My grandparentsD. My childhoodDPeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behavior are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are of course extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature and nurture”．Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalitie s and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, ifanything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme，this theory states that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能)．Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists' view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behavior.Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching. In the US，for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to concl ude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites. Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.13．This passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. relation between personality and behaviorB. relation between behavior and environmentC. different accounts of patterns of human behaviorD. different theories of the formation of human behavior14．The underlined word “proponents” in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. creatorsB. advisorsC. advocatesD. judges15．In Paragraph 5, the author mainly writes about ________.A. the considerable influence of the two theoriesB. differences between the blacks and whitesC. racial discrimination in the United StatesD. different responds to intelligence tests16．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.

The word “koala” comes from an Australian aboriginal word meaning “no drink”.Sometimes people call them “koala bears” but koa la is not a bear. It belongs to a special group of Australian mammals, called marsupial(有袋类). Female marsupials have a pouch where the baby animals live after they are born.Koalas have soft, thick, grey or brown fur on their backs. The fur on the stomach is white. Koala that live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north because of the cold winters, whereas the koalas in the northern part of the country live in warm to hot weather most of the year so have thinner fur. A koala has a large hairless nose and round ears. Koalas don’t have tails. Adult koalas measure between 7 and 14 kilograms.Koalas spend nearly all their time in the trees using their sharp, curved claws and long toes to climb about and to hold on to the tree branches. They sleep most of the day, and feed and move from tree to tree mainly at night.The reason koala sleep for much of the day is because their food eucalyptus(桉树) leaves are very tough so they use a lot of energy to digest. Sleeping saves energy. Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous to almost every other animal. Koalas rarely drink water; they get water from the leaves they eat. Each koala has a home range made up of several trees that they visit regularly. They normally do not visit another koala’s home trees except that a male is looking for a female to mate with. 17．Which of the following statements is NOT tr ue about the name “koala bear”?A. The name was given by the native in AustraliaB. The word “koala” is an original English wordC. The name describes one of its living habitsD. The name is partly false18．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “punch”？A. HouseB. CaveC. PocketD. Nest19．Why do the koalas live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north?A. The thicker fur can protect them from the colder weatherB. It’s always hot in summer in the northC. It’s always cold in the winter in the southD. They have to move to the north in the winter20．Why do koalas sleep much in the day?A. Their foods are poisonousB. They want to save energy for the activities at nightC. They can’t get enough e nergy from their tough foodsD. They can’t get enough water from their leaves三、完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分）Ten years ago, my family moved to a new city, therefore I studied in the new primary school..

Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers when you are curious about something and want to know more about it.Firstly, write down the subject that you are interested in on a note card or piece of paper. Just put the main idea down, such as “Discover more about dinosaurs.”Next, think for a moment about what you already know about your subject and list information like the sentences below：1. Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.2. Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.3. Some dinosaurs fed on plants, some on meat.Thirdly, ask yourself “What can I do with what I want to learn？” On your paper, start w riting down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them：1. What's the best weather for dinosaurs to live in?2. How many kinds of dinosaurs are there?3. Have dinosaurs really disappeared?Fourthly, armed_with_your_list_of_questions,_you can now visit the nearest library or turn to computer to begin your research.

And remember—learning more always bring more questions.1．While doing some research, you should take the following steps________.①list what you want to know②choose a research subject③list what you already know④discover new problemsA．①④③②B．①②④③C．②③①④D．②①④③2．What does the underlined sentence “armed with your list of questions” mean?A．Taking your list of questions with you to do more research.B．Writing down your list of questions before turning to the computer.C．Discussing your questions with your classmates for solution.D．Putting your questions aside before going to the library.3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．You can find all the answers online.B．Learn more, and you'll have no questions.C．Asking questions is the only way for research.D．During the research, more questions may arise.4．The best title for this passage is________.A．Discovering DinosaursB．Asking Good QuestionsC．Finding Suitable SubjectsD．Having Interesting AnswersBElizabeth’s Second!In 60 years, the Queen has never put a foot wrong in public. And for the last 24 of them, it turns out she’s had a secret weapon —the nice Ella Slack. The former BBC manager has, unknown to anyone except a handful of key advisers, spent the last quarter of a century acti ng as the Queen’s official stand-in at rehearsals (排练) for royal events. The 69-year-old has never accepted a penny for her royal service, considering it “a pleasure and an honour” to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the Queen. “How many people in the world have had a chance to sit in a royal landa u (马车) or walk onto the dais (讲台) at Windsor Castle even before the Queen has done so?” she said.While Miss Slack may not resemble the Queen facially, she has a similar figure to the Queen, standing just 5 foot. The Queen is 5 foot 2 inch. She began her remarkable role in 1988, when she was working as manager of the BBC’s sports and events department. A producer asked her if she could stand in for the Queen to check camera angles at a rehearsal — and her second career was born.Since then, from the State Opening of Parliament (议会) to the 50th anniversary of Victory day, wherever the Queen is on duty Miss Slack is likely to have been there first. She has perfected her own version of the Queen’s clothes, including a black patent handbag she bought in a charity shop for ￡1, and even styles her hair like the Queen.5．What’s the Queen’s secret weapon?A. She often meets people in public.B. She actively attends social activities.C. She has a nice lady to act as herself.D. She and Miss Slack have a lot in common.6．Miss Slack’s words in Paragraph 1 indicate that ___________.A. she thinks the job honorable and worthyB. she thinks she can do the job betterC. she thinks frequently of her roleD. she is determined to carry the job on7．How did Miss Slack get the job?A. The Queen invited her to do so.B. The BBC appointed her to finish the job.C. She was invited to have an accidental try.D. The advisers offered her the chance.8．In which section of a newspaper may you find the passage?A. Education.B. Entertainment.C. Sports.D. Health.CMany people believe that all ice cubes are created equal, but they are not. At least that’s what the folks at California’s Glace Luxury Ice Company would like us to believe. TheDavisbased company says that the ice cubes they make are healthier and last longer than the ones that we throw into our drinks on a daily basis. What’s more, the company also says that their ice cubes do mot leave behind an aftertaste(余味)in drinks, like regular ones do.In order to create these unique ice cubes, Glace Luxury begins with water that has been rid of the hazardous impurities(杂质)that the company says can lead to cancer and exist in regular ice. They then freeze it in large blocks. Once ready, the ice is carved into perfect cubes and each cube measures 2.5 inches across. Besides being healthier, these ice cubes apparently also take longer to melt. The company says that each ice cube can last up to 30 minutes.Of course, those ice cubes do not come cheap. Those that wish to have a taste of this “tasteless” frozen perfection will have to pay $325USD for a bag of 50 ice cubes. That comes to $6.50USD for a single cube of ice!The unique product is the brainchild of Robert Sequeira, a former business school lecturer who said that he wanted to establish a profitable business that could be easily scaled. Given that he can make as mush Glace Luxury ice as he needs for as little as $0.12USD per cube, he thinks that the idea certainly meets the standard. Now, if he can find that the few people can afford to buy this Glace Luxury ice, life would be great!9．People at California’s Glace Luxury Ice Company probably want consumers to believe that _____.A. ice cubes are healthy for people to useB. their ice cubes add tastes to drinksC. all ice cubes are created the sameD. their ice cubes are different10．Wha t does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. ActiveB. RegularC. Dangerous D .Powerful11．Compared with regular ice cubes, the ice cubes created by Glace Luxury Ice Company_____.A. taste much betteB. look much more beautifulC. have more different shapesD. are healthier and melt more slowly12．What does the author think of the ice cubes created by Glace Luxury Ice Company?A. They will be a big successB. They are too costly to make.C. They are just regular ice cubes.D. They are too expensive for consumersDJohn was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn’t，the girl with the rose．Thirteen months ago，in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the notes in the margin(页边)．The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful(有洞察力的)mind．In front of the book，he discovered the name，Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he got her address．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch．During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail．A romance started．John requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like．Later they agreed on their first meeting—7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York．“You’ll recognize me,” she wrote，“by the red rose I’ll be wearing my coat.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose．A girl in a green suit was coming toward him，her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers．Almost uncontrollably hhttp://www./e came to her，and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40．The girl was walking quickly away．He did not hesitate(犹豫)，saying，“I’m John，and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?”The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about，son，” she answered，“but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner，I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!”It’s not difficult to admire Miss Maynell’s wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.13．John was attracted by Miss Hollis Maynell because ________.A．John believed her one of her old friendsB．she took good notes with a soft handwritingC．John thought her a considerate and thinking ladyD．she was beautiful with a slim figure and blue eyes14．Why did John uncontrollably go up to the young girl in the green suit?A．Because he knew it was Miss Hollis Maynell.B．Because she was the very lady he was waiting for.C．Because he was drawn to her beautiful appearance.D．Because John didn’t want to meet Miss Hollis Maynell15．We can find John was a person who ________.A．was easy to change his mindB．was casual and independentC．judged a person by his looksD．valued a person’s inner spirit16．What’s the theme of the story?A．The wisdom is shown in one’s action.B．Love can be met by chance if you like.C．You should never judge a book by its cover.D．A noble heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.E“You are going abroad and will live there? Oh, wonderful!You are so lucky.”Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But is it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?Specialists say that it isn’t that easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” (冲击) is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. “There are three stages of culture shock,” say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers adapt to their surroundings and finally enjoy their life there.Culture shock arises from many obvious factors. The weather may be unpleasant. Thecustoms may be different. The public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out. Even the simplest things become headaches. Still worse, the language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. V ery often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock leads to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.17．When people move to a new country, they ________.A. find their new life always wonderful and exciting.B. dislike the new surroundings from the beginning.C. quickly get accustomed to the new culture there.D. will get used to the new life with certain difficulty.18．Based on the passage, which of the following results from culture shock?A. weather conditions and customsB. public service and transportationC. feeling homesick and disorientedD. language communication issues19．According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________.A. the fewer difficulties you will meet with abroadB. the more problems you may have to face abroadC. the greater success you are likely to make abroadD. the less homesick you will eventually feel abroad20．Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?A. Cultural shock affects and surprises those who live in a new culture.B. A new culture makes everything difficult except the simplest things.C. Since culture shock is painful, we can never get over it completely.D. Escaping by staying inside does solve the problem of culture shock.三、完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分）The cultures of the East and the West really disting-uish from each other a lot.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems ____.The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are gestated(孕育) by ___.In China，the mother river is the Yellow River ___ the Indian one is the Hindu River.These two cultures were ____ for several thousand years and formed their own styles.Then in the Tang Dynasty of China，the Chinese culture ____ went overseas to Japan，____ into the Japanese society and ___ the Japanese culture nowadays.Though a bit different from the Chinese one，it ____ to the same system.When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture，another famous culture was ____ on the Mesopotamian Plain(美索不达米亚平原)—the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.And these two are well-known as the ____ of the European culture.____ the Chinese culture，the European one also ____ waters.When the colonists of England ____ in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t ___ from the European one a lot.At the same time，the ____ of the language systems adds to the cultural differences.In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic(象形文字的) languages while the Western languages are ____ based on the Latin system，for example，the one I’m using to write this paper.Other factors like human race difference ____ as well.However，___ the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West，the two cultures seldom ___ until recent centuries.____ they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference(干扰) from the other.21．A.above all B．on the whole C．in all D．in no case 22．A.mountains B．plains C．lakes D．rivers23．A.or B．for C．while D．when24．A.developed B．improved C．created D．protected25．A.suddenly B．quietly C．gradually D．naturally26．A.mixed B．changed C．decided D．forced27．A.expanded B．interrupted C．influenced D．shaped28．es B．belongs C．amounts D．adds29．A.brought up B．carried out C．given out D．picked up 30．A.result B．sign C．base D．content31．A.Via B．Except C．With D．Like32．A.affected B．spread C．crossed D．formed33．A.joined up B．went up C．broke down D．settled down 34．e B．suffer C．result D．differ35．A.difference B．development C．appearance D．feature36．A.properly B．partly C．simply D．mostly37．st B．count C．reduce D．change38．A.in terms of B．due to C．as to D．in case of39．A.transform B．display C．communicate D．distinguish 40．A.Furthermore B．Meanwhile C．Therefore D．However四、阅读填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

松滋三中2014-2015学年度高二下学期6月月考二、阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分，满分40分）AI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple nguage is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show:her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.1．. The author used to think of her mother’s English as.A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical2．. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author’s mother had positive influence on h er.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.3．The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is.A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning4．What is the passage mainly about?A. The change of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.BIf it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his tea m have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere. Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to dowith heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.5．What is the passage mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people don’t have diabetes.6．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A．Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B．People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C．Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D．People with heart disease all have internal fat.7．From the last paragraph, we can find that ______.A．internal fat leading to disease has been provedB．exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC．thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD．it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat8．The underlined part in the last paragraph means ______.A．a long roadB．a clear differenceC．an easy wayD．a short distanceCThe dodo is among the most famous extinct creatures, and a poster child for human-caused extinction events. Despite its bad name, and the fact that the species was alive during recorded human history, little is actually known about how this animal lived, looked, and behaved. A new study of the only known complete skeleton(骨架) from a single bird takesadvantage of modern 3-D laser scanning(扫描) technology to open a new window into the life of this famous extinct bird.The study was presented at the 74th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Estrel, Berlin. Leon Claessens, Associate Professor at the College of the Holy Cross, and lead researcher on the study said that, "the 3-D laser surface scans we made of the fragile dodo skeletons enable us to reconstruct how the dodo walked, moved and lived to a level of detail that has never been possible before. There are so many outstanding questions about the dodo bird that we can answer with this new knowledge."A complete dodo skeleton, found by an amateur collector and barber, Etienne Thirioux, on the island of Mauritius between 1899 and 1917, has remained unstudied, even though it is the only complete dodo skeleton from a single individual bird known to exist. All other skeletons are incomplete combinations, meaning that they are gathered from more than one individual. In addition, Thirioux constructed a second, partially combined skeleton, which contains many bones that also belong to a single bird. "Being able to examine the skeleton of a single, individual dodo, which is not made up from as many individual birds as there are bones, as is the case in all those other combined skeletons, truly allows us to appreciate the way the dodo looked and see how tall or fat it really was," said Juilan Hume, of the Natural History Museum UK, a co-author on the study.The scans were performed on site in Durban, South Africa, and allow examination of the biology of this mysterious extinct bird in detail for the first time. Using the newest digital tools and techniques, the scans provide an insight into how the flightless dodo may have developed its giant size, and how it walked and lived in its forest home. According to Kenneth Rijsdijk, a biologist from University of Amsterdam, “the skull of the dodo is so large and its mouth so strong that it is easy to understand that the earliest naturalists thought it was related to sharks and other birds of prey（猛禽）, rather than the pigeon family.”9．The underlined phrase “a poster child” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “”.A. a typical exampleB. an endangered animalC. a child who puts up posters on the boardD. a child posted in a newspaper as an advertisement10．The researchers study the dodo skeleton to find out .A. ways to save the dodoB. the dodo’s living habitsC. the bird’s natural habitatD. the cause of the dodo’s extinction11．What is special about the dodo skeleton found by an amateur collector?A. It is gathered from more than one individual.B. It reminded unstudied between 1899 and 1917.C. It is the only complete dodo skeleton from a single individual bird.D. It can be examined with 3-D laser scanning technology.12．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people’s attention to wildlife protection.B. To criticize humans for the extinction events.C. To introduce a new way of studying the dodo.D. To give tips on how to study extinct creatures.DMilitary training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives. While some question the necessity of such training. Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained. Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training. “The training routine does little to improve students’ physical fitness over only two weeks’ time. Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are willing to train under direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints fromboth students and parents: “But I still think military training is a good thing. S tudents are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on Tsinghua University’s campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat, the 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises. “By going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. I’ve made a lot of friends already.”According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is not satisfying. “Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” He thus su ggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from Xi’an Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character b uilding. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”13．How many people expressing their opinions are mentioned in this passage?A．4 B．5C．6 D．714．According to Hou Zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_____________.A．survival skillsB．military trainingC．the spirit of teamwork and enduranceD．strict exercises15．What is the author’s attitude towards military training?A．Supportive B．SubjectiveC．Objective D．Rejective16．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Policy Made by the Ministry of EducationB．Military Training under FireC．A New JourneyD．A Best Way to Teach Students DisciplineEWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from read y for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!17．Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.18．NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits19．The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades20．What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza三、完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分）There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what y ou want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.21.

This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without t rying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by oth ers, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home, etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love and care is the key to help you child out of trouble and grow up happily.Title: 41．in Young Children五、短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）51．短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
