My father wrote me a valuable letter before his death, one part of which always 36 . “I know you will do 37 great that will set you among the very best one day in the future.”Since I first read his 38 at 12, they have lived in my heart. 39 ,I knew that my dad’s believing in me gave me permission to believe in 40 . “You will do something great.” He didn’t know 41 that would mean, but whenever I felt 42 of myself, I remember my father’s words, and 43 he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what youwere 44 about, Dad?”Many years have passed, and I believe that my father 45 have been proud when I 46 from basic training and became a rescue swimmer. Lately, I’ve come to realize he’d want me to move 47 to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in someone else.Yes, it’s time to all of us to 48 writing our own letters to our children.

On hearing the ring, I will get out of bed and put on my glasses. The house is quiet as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep in peace. Instead of going for a long run as usual, today I chose my favorite exercise DVD and started moving. Sweat rolled down my face and into my eyes. My heart beat wildly as I face my body to finish each movement before a mirror. Of course I felt extremely tired towards the end, but a smile spread across my face. I smiled because the DVD was over, and there appeared a brighter smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.While some people are fond of chocolate, shopping, smoking, or work, what I need is taking exercise to pass each day. People shake their heads when they see me run with sweating heavily through the town. Some look surprised when I refuse to try just one bite of chocolate cake. They seem greatly puzzled by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to just have a vegetable salad. I ha ve come to realize that it doesn’t matter to just say “No.” to any kind of food that I don’t want to eat.Do you wonder what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m. every morning? What makes me refuse ice cream firmly? Commitment—I’m determined to change my life with a way which can not only free me from daily anxiety, but also increase energy and self–confidence. And above all it will surely help me to keep good body shape and maybe extend my life. This is the real reason why there’s a huge smile spreadi ng across my face when I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit me just right and look perfectly on me. I never doubt that I cannot make a difference within myself inside and out without such commitment and sweat.【1】From the text we can conclude that the author___________.A．desires to look different from others.B．expects to develop a good body shape.C．has difficulty getting along with others.D．behaves strangely every morning she gets up【2】Which statement is TRUE according to Paragraph 2 ?A．Others don’t understand the author.B．Others help the author by offering her food.C．The author doesn’t understand others.D．The author hates to make others surprised.【3】The underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A．good health B．firm belief C．a habit D．a permission【4】Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.C．Because she enjoys the inspiring DVD music.D．Because she feels a sense of achievement2.The Museum: The only surviving London home of Dickens( from 1837 until 1839),the Charles Dickens Museum in Londo n, is the world’s most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist.

Before I made my mind to row across the Atlantic, I had already cycled 3,300 miles, run all by myself across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the hardest part would be mental: How would I cope with the terrible loneliness and the boredom on the vast sea for such a long time?I set out on January 1 and my first object was to swim past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days. I made it on January 20, a gray and cloudy day. I had thought to do something to celebrate my first goal such as treating myself to a chocolate bar or something else. But I didn’t. I was suffering from unbearable boredom and loneliness of the long sea journey. I hadn’t seen any landing at least more than two weeks. It seemed to feel the same every day. Eating, rowing, sleeping, staring at the sky, watching the ocean.Then that day came! It was around dusk, I noticed something move on the horizon. Yes, some dolphins! They approached me and circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so blessed. They had arrived to accompany me and helped to celebrate, just when I needed them so badly! For the next 15 minutes, I did row at full speed with all my strength with those lovely dolphins around. By the time they were to leave me and we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely.After 70 days and five hours at sea, I finally reached my final destination. I was proud that I made it, all 2,817 miles, which helped to raise $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, an organization for funding drinking water. I’ve been tol d some athletes struggled to get through just by imagining the end during the whole process. But for me, what makes miracle is to focus your mind on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, I had to admit those dolphins really freed myself from terrible loneliness.【1】Which of the following belongs to part of preparation for the row?A．Answering the same question raised by peopleB．Swimming the 325-mile length of the riverC．Running 3,300 miles cross-countryD．Biking across the Mojave Desert【2】The underlined part means ___________.A．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goalB．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energyC．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarterD．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar【3】What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?A．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.B．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destinationC．The unexpected dolphins swept away my lonelinessD．Imagination was a useful way to help me get through【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?A．The only challenge for a 20-year oldB．Tips on handling loneliness at sea.C．How to row alone across the AtlanticD．The day I stopped being lonely4.United States and Canada are multicultural countries with many national, religious and cultural differences, where people attach great importance to individualism—the uniqueness among people. Teachers value the qualities that make each student special and different. You can see such values through their educational systems. For example, students needn’t memorize lots of information. Instead, they work independently and find answers on their own. There are discussions for children to show their own ideas and opinions.By contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture in most Asian societies. As a result, Asia’s educational system reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea learn to work together and help one another in assignments. And the teaching methods are often very formal and serious. In class, teachers give lectures while students listen and take notes. Discussion is replaced by reciting rules of information that have been memorized.These two systems both have advantages and disadvantages. One advantage in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. In addition, students study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The difficult system also prepares students for a society that place emphasis on discipline and self-control. However, while memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students admit forgetting much of the information that they have memorized after exams.On the other hand, the educational system in North American has an advantage that students learn to think for themselves, which prepares them for a society that values creativity. The disadvantage is that when they graduate from high school, they haven’t recited as many basic rules a nd facts as students in other countries have.【1】People in multicultural countries such as the US or Canada lay more stress on __________.A．team work B．self-control C．discipline D．individualism【2】What is the advantage of the educational system in North America？A．There is not much discussion.B．Learning to think for themselvesC．Learning much less math and scienceD．They haven’t memorized basic rules and facts.【3】Which words is most suitable to describe the author's attitude in writing this passage?A．Supportive B．Opposite C．Objective D．Subjective【4】The main idea of this passage is___________.A．cultural differences in countries such as the United States or CanadaB．comparisons of educational system between North America and AsiaC．there are more advantages of Asian education system of than that of North AmericanD．there are more disadvantages of Asian education system than that of North American5.The consumer(消费者) plays a very important role in the global efforts to reduce C0emissions(排放).2Households use one third of the final energy and produce around two thirds of city waste in the European Union. Besides，housing, food，and private transport make up almost 80％ of environmental pressures. Therefore there’s no doubt that consumers can make a real difference in fighting climate change．To direct consumers towards more environmentally-friendly decisions，we need clear and simple instructions to guide consumption behavior. Actually, two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment, for 58% Europeans think that many businesses just pretend to be green so as to charge higher prices. Thus industry should work harder to give consumers more information about the carbon footprint of their product. For example, inform customers of products made from materials that are recycled，renewable, and／or less carbon-intensive.People prefer high-quality products that will last long and won’t go out of style, though they might sometimes cost more, especially in time of crisis. Firms that make durable（持久耐用的） or recyclable products cause people to behave more responsib ly, which may help put an end to our “throw-way” culture．However, it is not enough to remind people of green products. It’s more important to direct people to follow a practical lifestyle model. Regulations alone cannot achieve this purpose. We call for good business communities to create a loyal group of “sustainable(可持续的) consumers”.【1】According to the passage, the key to going greener globally is ．A．to provide enough information about sustainable productsB．to get the government involved in protecting the environmentC．to encourage consumers to make their efforts to live a green wayD．to direct companies to provide environmentally-friendly products【2】The second paragraph tried to tell us that ．A．people are buying sustainable products to have a lighter carbon footprintB．most European consumers lack confidence in making responsible choicesC．companies have done enough to allow consumers to make greener choicesD．companies can make more money by making less carbon-intensive products【3】It’s advised that companies had better especially in the time of crisis.A．throw away old materialsB．reduce the cost of productionC．make more durable productsD．replace their products frequently【4】The last paragraph puts emphasis on ___________.A．the quality of products.B．the honesty of companies.C．the government regulations.D．the importance of lifestyle.四、单词拼写【1】They sat at the back of the hall, talking in (耳语) in order not to disturb others.【2】The Chinese team o the Japanese team through good teamwork in the final and won the gold medal.【3】Please go a the ship quickly. There is only ten minutes left. Let’s hurry!【4】Farmers benefit a lot from the new a （农业的）laws and regulations.【5】New Zealand’s culture is rich because of the m of Polynesian and different European settlers.【6】The boss, ____ （代表） the company, expressed sincere thanks to all employees for their efforts 【7】As a famous actress, she has to be p about what she wears in public.【8】He suggests （出口）our products so that we can make higher profits.【9】The government immediately started a nationwide c against drunk driving to ensure the road safety. 【10】Yuan Longping not only works the land to do his research in China, but also c farm knowledge in other Asian countries.五、其他【1】劳驾，请问您这是通往迪斯尼乐园的路吗？。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believ ing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A．I was waiting for good fortune.B．I was trying to find an admirable job.C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.【2】The author decided to write a novel ______ .A．to finish the writing courseB．to realize her own dreamC．to satisfy readers’ wishD．to earn more money【3】How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A．Disturbed.B．Ashamed.C．Confident.D．Uncertain.【4】What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.B．Hard work can lead to success.C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.2.Mini Book Excerpts（节选）BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J. D. Salinger：A Life by Kenneth Slawenski（Random House,$27）Mystery（疑案小说）“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only who saw it happen. Do you thi nk the murderer should get away with it?”The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika,“Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers,“Maybe,”he said quietly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund（Atria Books, $25. 99）Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class. Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t.You Are Free by Danzy Senna （Riverhead Books,$15）HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times! “amusement cycling”is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disn ey World when you can spend less than half to that within a day’s drive lf most cities?Happy And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle（Ecco,$14. 99）【1】If the readers want to know about the title of Salinger, they should buy the book published by.A．Ecco B．Atria BooksC．Riverhead Books D．Random House【2】The book Happy And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for .A．young children B．Disney World workersC．middle school teachers D．parents with young children【3】Which book describes women with characters of their own?A.

Red Wolf【4】After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that .A．the boy helped arrest the murdererB．Benny died of an accidentC．the murderer got away with the crimeD．Annika carried out the crime3.If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways h e has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________A．provide some key facts about ConfuciusB．attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC．show great respect for the ancient thinkerD．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______A．have a great interest in studying ChineseB．take an active part in Chinese competitionsC．try to get high scores in Chinese examsD．fight for a chance to learn Chinese【3】What is the best title for the passage?A．Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB．Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC．Chinese Culture for WesternersD．Old Thinker with a Big Future【4】The passage is likely to appear in ___________.A．a biographyB．a history paperC．a newspaperD．a philosophy textbook4.Easter(复活节 ) is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer — it lives on the islands! — but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators（捕食者）.As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported thathunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.【1】The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to_______.A．show the importance of Easter Day B．introduce the issue about bunniesC．remind people of Easter traditionsD．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies【2】The word “culprit” ( Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to______.A．criminal B．judge C．victim D．producer【3】According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they_______ A．are exposed lo more skillful huntersB．have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC．haven't adapted themselves to climate changeD．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring【4】The problem faced by volcano rabbets and rock rabbits is that________.A. both are affected by 1ess snowB. both are affected by rising sea levelsC neither can find enough foodD. neither can migrate to higher places5.Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it，whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actionsythey also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people. Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动）.Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someoneelse does---well, perhaps you'll understand why.【1】Mirror neurons can explain .A． why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC． why we smile when we see someone else smileD． why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late【2】The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “’’A．set off B．cut off C．built up D．broken up【3】We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ________.A． relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC． result in bad behavior and social disordersD． determine our knowledge and language abilities【4】What is the passage mainly about?A． Ways to find mirror neurons.B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirror neurons.D． Functions of mirror neurons.四、单词拼写阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

How to Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.【1】 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.【2】Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.【3】 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.【4】Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 【5】 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A．To fight family laziness, set an example.B．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.C．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.D．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.三、阅读理解1.The youngest of five children in a middle-class family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day, in 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts. Although she was educated at home, Clara began teaching school herself at the age of fifteen until 1854. Later, before the Civil War (内战), Clara’s greatest achievement was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in Bordentow n, New Jersey. What’s more, her only medical experience was when she cared for her invalid (病弱者) brother for two years.When the Civil War broke out, Clara soon learned that many of the wounded soldiers had suffered from lack of medical supplies. So she asked for donations (捐款) to buy those supplies and began her own operation to hand out these supplies. In 1865, Clara built an information centre to serve war-torn families and often gave speeches. With so much work, she fell ill in 1868 and went to Switzerland to recover, where she learned something about the International Red Cross founded in 1864. But the United States could not take part then. Barton, returned home and began to establish the Red Cross in America. She worked hard, travelling to Washington for support, gave speeches and wrote articles to win the support of the public. She told people the Red Cross was not only important during times of war, but also useful in peace time. This got the attention of both the public and the politicians, and thus the American Association of the Red Cross came into being in 1881.【1】What did Clara Barton want to do during the wartime?A．Advise the government to buy more medical supplies.B．Help some families to rebuild their home.C．Collect money to buy medical supplies.D．Treat the wounded soldiers by herself.【2】According to the events in Clara’s life, which of the following is the right order?a. Travelled to win support for the Red Cross in America.b. Offered medical supplies to the army.c. Established a free public school.d. Stayed in Switzerland to improve her health.e. Worked as a teacher at school.A．e, c, b, d, a B．e, c, a, b, dC．e, b, c, d, a D．e, b, a, c, d【3】Clara Barton insisted on establishing the Red Cross in America because ________.A．it could stop a war breaking outB．it was a sign of a powerful countryC．it could keep America at peaceD．it could help to overcome unexpected trouble2.The United States Department of Agriculture has a program called Wildlife Services.Its job is to help protect agriculture and other resources from threats and damage by wildlife.Often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors.This organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry agencies all over the country where farmers can explain their difficulty and get practical help.One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State,in the Pacific Northwest.Several years ago,thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields.The geese began to eat his carrot crop.Biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away.These efforts apparently succeeded,which made the farmer quite happy.Wildlife Services also has a livestock(牲畜)protection program.The program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them.Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens,sheep andother animals that could be attacked.They also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept.And they advise people who see coyotes around their property to chase them away by shouting,making loud noises or throwing rocks.For home gardeners,a two-meter fence might help keep out deer.To keep out rabbits,a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high.It should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it.If snakes are a problem,remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places.And to protect livestock,consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys,which are very effective.Due to its effective work,ever since the Wildlife Services was started,it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico.【1】The underlined phrase “unwelcome visitors” in the first paragraph refers to .A．animals that attack the farmersB．people who don’t care about wildlifeC．animals that do harm to the crops or livestockD．people who pollute the environment of the farms【2】It can be inferred from the second paragraph that .A．the farmer didn’t have a gun to kill those Canada geeseB．Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its groupC．the carrot crop was eaten up by the Canada geeseD．the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much【3】What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A．Ways to protect livestock.B．Ways to deal with coyotes.C．How to protect crops.D．How to find wildlife.【4】How is the program getting along?A．It remains to be improved.B．It is very popular among experts.C．It is well received by the local government.D．Farmers in the U.S.,Canada and Mexico think it effective.3.As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Dani el wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppos e I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”【1】The passage tells us that .A．people seldom work long hours to make moneyB．people hardly buy more things than necessaryC．people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD．people realize there is more to life than just making money【2】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.A．was easy to organize B．has improved family lifeC．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success【3】What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?A．People work long hours to earn their living.B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.四、完形填空My friend Tim came from a big family.

福建高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Good morning. The program today is about music. The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The Muses are the goddesses of the arts. Music is only one of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but it uses sounds. Today’s program brings together m usic from different corners of the world. Who invented music? Who sang the first song? No one knows exactly the answers to these questions. But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone’s life. Babies and young children love to hear peo ple singing to them. When they are a little older, they like to sing the songs they have heard. When children go to school, their world of music grows. In the middle grades students take music lessons. When they reach high school, they become more and more interested in listening to pop music.The records we have chosen for you today are from American country music, Indian music, pop music and so on. Music has different meanings for everyone. It can make people happy or it can make them sad. Music is now heard everywhere, in shops, on buses and at home. In this program we shall study the language of music. We shall be trying to find out more about how music works. We shall try to find out how music says what people feel. It is worth making the effort. Only then can we say why one piece of music is good and another is bad.Now, here comes the music today. I shall explain why they are all good music...【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Some knowledge about music.B．The origin of music.C．Something about the announcer.D．Some questions about music.【2】Which of the following is not the purpose of this music program?A．To study the language of music.B．To learn more about music.C．To find out how music expresses people’s feelings.D．To tell us we should listen to music every day.【3】What does the announcer think about the function of music in our life?A．It is important to almost everyone.B．It is necessary for the young.C．It plays a great role when we are children.D．It decides our future.【4】The text will continue to talk about some ________.A．old and unpopular musicB．nice and popular musicC．songs sung by the young todayD．reasons why some composers（作曲家） play such music2.England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate(多样性的气候). People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire(退休)from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of (is made up of)the counties(郡)ofDevon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semitropical(亚热带)plants grow well. Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟)as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England’s most popular holiday areas.【1】England is a country ________.A．with a cold and wet climateB．with a pleasant climateC．with a surprising climateD．with climates of various kinds【2】According to the passage, ________.A．flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB．farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC．people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD．vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers【3】In the north of England and the Midlands, ________.A．it is cold and wet all the year roundB．the climate is pleasant as a wholeC．it is warm most of the time in a yearD．only the summer is not cold or wet3.America is growing older. Fifty-eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable(合适的) at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t su rprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.【1】It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America________A．has made people feel youngerB．has changed people’s social positionC．has changed people’s understanding of ageD．has slowed down the country’s social development【2】The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A．a society B．AmericaC．a place D．population【3】“Act your age” in Paragraph 3 means people should________.A．be active when they are oldB．do the right thing at the right ageC．show respect for their parents young or oldD．take more physical exercise suitable to their age【4】If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it________.A．normal B．wonderfulC．unbelievable D．unreasonable4.During an earthquake, you should know what to do. If the earthquake stri kes while you’re inside a house, you should lie on the floor under a strong table or other furniture. If there is no furniture, you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room. You should keep away from windows, glass walls, or anything that can fall.If you are in bed, hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load.If you are running out, do not use lifts, even if they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay in your house or perhaps wherever you are.When you stay outdoors, you should stay far from buildings, power wires or lights. You should be in the open until the quake stops. Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from falling-apart walls, flying glass and other falling things.If an earthquake strikes and you are driving, you should pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible. You ought not to stop under trees, buildings or energy wires. Don’t stop in the middle of the street as it could trouble others.When trapped, you shouldn’t move. Yo ur mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or a handkerchief. This is because it is possible for you to breathe in some dust. Do not shout whenever possible. You should only shout in the end to get help from rescuers.【1】What is the writer’s purpo se in writing this passage?A．To tell us the dangers of an earthquake.B．To tell us what to do before an earthquake.C．To tell us what to do when an earthquake strikes.D．To tell us why running during an earthquake is dangerous.【2】If there is no furniture in the room during an earthquake, you should________.A．lie still on the floorB．stay near the windowC．stay in the center of the roomD．keep still in the corner of the room【3】According to the passage, during an earthqu ake, you’d better not________.a. use a lift to escapeb. stay outdoorsc. cut off electricityd. keep driving to escapeA．ab B．bcC．ad D．cd【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．When to call out for help in an earthquake.B．What to do when trapped in an earthquake.C．How to make use of a handkerchief in an earthquake.D．How to avoid breathing in some dust in an earthquake.二、其他If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following.Move MoreMake it a daily thing to find ways to move your body. 【1】 Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator. Walk your dog. Play with your kids. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class. But that’s great when you’re up to it. At the sa me time, move more.Quit SmokingEver since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, we’ve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence?【2】 Take care! Warn your children against smoking.【3】While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾)disease and cancer.Reduce StressEasier said than done, stress comes in many ways.【4】 Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walking on the beach or in a park, reading a good book, visiting a friend, listening to relaxing music, and watching a funny movie.Protect Yourself from PollutionIf you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms.【5】Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good.A．Avoid Excessive（过度的） DrinkingB．Keep a Positive Mental OutlookC．Think carefully about what you will do.D．Exercise outside when the smog rating is low.E.

福建省福州格致中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said on Thursday.Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found."No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a 'sixth sense'. They know when things are happening," H.D．Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km（2 miles）inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. "There has been a lot of evidence（证据）about dogs barking or birds migrating（迁徙）before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved." said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. "There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field setting," he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators（掠食动物）, The idea of an animal "sixth sense" is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka's damaged coast is likely to add to.1．What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami?A．Many people died but wild animals survived.B．The "six sense" of wild animals developedC．Wild beasts were killed or went missing D．The coast was found in good condition. 2．What does H.D．Ratnayake do?A．He is a zoo keeper.B．He is a wildlife official.C．He is a movie director.D．He is an animal behaviour expert.3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting" in paragraph 5?A．Taking up.B．Putting up.C．Picking up.D．Bringing up. 4．What is the text mainly about?A．Why animals can save themselves from natural disasters.B．The different opinions about animals' natural power.C．How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.D．The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.5．In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?A．Travel.B．Custom.C．Culture.D．Discovery.Making my way slowly along the cliff (悬崖) face, I gazed (注视) at the great appearance of each temple I passed. As I entered the first cave and looked up at the feitian—an imagined flying god in Buddhist art, I wondered how many hundreds of thousands of others, from near and far, have looked at the same great paintings and statues.Sometime between the 4th and 14th century, Mogao was an important Buddhist center connecting East Asia and South Asia. Hundreds of caves were carved into a cliff face running along the Daquan River. Located on the ancient Silk Road, one of the great trade routes in ancient times, it created an environment of artistic and cultural exchange between the different cultures.My personal adventure to Dunhuang had taken me, by way of train and bus, from Xining in Qinghai Province to Lanzhou in Gansu Province, and through the Jiayu Pass. From there, I continued on through Y umen Pass, also known as the Jade Gate, and crossed the Gobi Desert to find this small and sleepy desert town, and to see these caves for myself.As I explored the temples,I was amazed by the vividness (生动性) of the paintings and statues. It was almost as though they were painted or carved the day before. I had discovered the reason why people travel.There are more than 2,000 coloured statues that were carved 1,500 years ago. More than 1,400statues are well-protected so they can still be appreciated. During the thousand years of artistic activity,the style of the wall paintings and statues changed. The early caves show greater Indian and Western influences,while during the Tang Dynasty the influences of Chinese painting styles became noticeable.Today, the Mogao Caves stand out from the desert like a shinning pearl on the Silk Road.6．What do we know about Mogao?A．It was a Buddhist center in West Asia.B．It can be easily reached by train and bus.C．It has carved caves on Daquan Mountains.D．It was the meeting point fordifferent cultures.7．Which is the writer's travelling route (路线) according to paragraph 3?A．B．C．D．8．What made the writer amazed?A．The well-protected temples.B．The large number of tourists.C．The preserved coloured statues.D．Some paintings made not long ago. 9．Which of the following best describes the wall paintings and statues?A．Highly developed.B．Plain.C．Culturally mixed.D．Noticeable.10．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Style Changes Over Years B．The Pearl of the Silk RoadC．Influential Western Culture D．My Views on DunhuangA 32-year-old Australian runner has set a new world record for continuous daily marathons as a woman.Erchana Murray-Bartlett set out from Cape York, the tip of Australia, in August 2022. She then ra n a marathon every day for 150 days— a 3,900-mile journey that ended in Melbourne on Monday, January 16,2023.By running the entire north-south distance of Australia, Murray-Bartlett beat the record held by British runner Kate Jayden, who ran a marathon for 106 continuous days last year. In addition to the new Guinness World Record, Murray-Bartlett was running to raise money for a conservation charity, the Wilderness Society. She raised $70,000 during her journey across Australia.“Yesterday was everything,” she said. “When I stood on the start line on August 20 I could never have imagined what the next 22 weeks would bring... I can’t put into words how good crossing that finish line felt, and to be honest, I think I’ll be processing for a few weeks, months, and even years to come.”Murray-Bartlett has been running professionally for many years. When she missed out on qualifying. for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she decided on a new goal: running the length of Australia and setting a new female record for continuous marathons.To state the obvious: it wasn’t always easy. Murray-Bartlett experienced three injuries during the first 3 weeks of the journey. But she didn’t give up, and her body adapted as she ran along her country’s coasts, rainforests, dirt roads and highways. She ran through heavy rain and intense heat.The journey also served to raise awareness of Australia’s extinction(灭绝) crisis. Many of the island nation’s plants and animals are found nowhere else — yet 500 of them are threatened with extinction. Throughout the trip, Murray-Bartlett highlighted her country’sbiodiversity on social media. When she finally crossed the finish line on Monday evening, she learned she’d raised nearly double her fundraising(募捐) goal.11．What’s one goal of Murray-Bartlett’s running?A．To enter the next Olympics.B．To go on running professionally.C．To collect money for protecting wildlife.D．To help bring back lost plants andanimals.12．How did she feel when crossing the finish line?A．Pleased.B．Faint.C．Confident.D．Horrible. 13．What do we know about the journey from paragraph 6?A．Murray-Bartlett finished the journey uninjured.B．The good weather continued during her journey.C．There were many challenges during the journey.D．The journey raised awareness of extinction crisis.14．Which words can best describe Murray-Bartlett?A．Energetic and frank.B．Tough and determined.C．Positive and adventurous.D．Considerate and generous.Lisa Gautier receives nearly a dozen parcels of human hair every day. With her San-Francisco-based non-profit organization Matter of Trust, Gautier turns donated hair into mats used to soak up oil spills on land, and booms(long tubes)used for spills at sea.A standard way to clean up oil from land is to use mats made from polypropylene(聚丙烯). But polypropylene is a non-biodegradable plastic, and producing it ultimately means more drilling for oil. Hair, by contrast, is an environmentally friendly resource that can soak up around five times its weight in oil, according to Matter of Trust, and it is abundant.Oil spills can pollute drinking water, endanger public health, harm plants and wildlife, and damage the economy. According to Gautier, the spills that hit the headlines only make up 5% of global oil pollution.Megan Murray, an environmental biologist at the University of Technology Sydney, develops sustainable technologies to tackle oil spills. Her research indicates that as well as being biodegradable, human hair is often just as effective as polypropylene, and in some circumstances even better. “The hair mats are very beneficial to land spills,” says Murray but adds that when raw oil is spilled on beach sand, it is very difficult to absorb it using any of thematerials she has tested. Another advantage of hair is that it costs less than conventional materials and is “globally available as a recycled material,” she says.However, Murray cautions that hair mats are not a perfect solution, because they are single-use, and can only be dealt with by burning or by burying into soil which then isn’t suitable for growing food. She is now researching methods to extract the oil from a used hair mat, meaning both can be reused.As the hair mat designs aren’t under patent, other groups have begun producing their own mats and booms. Gautier is pleased to see the movement growing. “Anyone can make a hair mat,” she says. “It creates green jobs, it cleans water, it reduces waste in landfill, and it’s promoting renewable resources.”15．What do we know about polypropylene according to the passage?A．It is environmentally friendly.B．People need more oil to produce it.C．It can soak up around five times its weight in oil.D．People seldom use mats made from it to clean up oil from land.16．What does Megan Murray think of the hair mats?A．Hair mats do no harm to soil after being burnt.B．People spend more to make hair mats than conventional materials.C．The effect of hair mats on terrestrial(陆地上的)spills is not very good.D．Hair mats are not a perfect solution because they can’t be recycled now.17．What can we infer from the passage?A．Most oil-spill events have received widespread media coverage.B．Lisa Gautier donated her hair to soak up oil spills on land and at sea.C．There are many other materials used to treat oil spills on beach sand besides hair.D．Megan Murray goes all out to make the hair mats and the oil extracted from them reused.18．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Tackle Oil SpillsB．A Perfect Recycled Material—Human HairC．Take Action to Make Hair Mats And BoomsD．Human Hair Is Being Used to Clean Up Oil Spills二、七选五False Memories or Parallel (平行的) Realities?Here is a common situation: You’re talking with someone about an event, only to discover that you both remember things quite differently. Usually, you’d put it down to a poor memory, but what if it wasn’t just one person who remembered things differently? What if it was millions?In fact, this isn’t a “what if” situation. It’s known as the Mandela Effect, and it was first noticed in 2009 by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome. Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s. 19 Actually, he'd been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.Broome was so shocked at this that she started an investigation. 20 People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (it’s southeast ). So what in the world is going on?21 In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another. Therefore, those who remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s aren’t wrong. They’re just remembering events from their original reality.More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information. 22 Many people remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow. “Aha!” you cry. “Parallel realities!” Probably not. Consider instead that people often ignore unfamiliar details and transform information to make it more understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips.23All things considered, if you’re stuck arguing with someone about whose version of events is correct, it may indeed be easier to agree that neither of you is wrong. You just come from different realities.A．Before we explain let’s look at an example.B．It turns out she wasn’t the only one who’d experienced this.C．If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.D．The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.E．Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.F．Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.G．As more incidents of the Mandela effect continue to occur, perhaps more research into the origins will tell us the causes.三、完形填空Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips (指尖) of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand was trapped in a machine. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is24．A．rougher B．heavier C．tougher D．busier 25．A．permission B．claim C．remark D．condition 26．A．after B．until C．when D．unless 27．A．concludes B．recalls C．imagines D．expects 28．A．curious B．hopeless C．funny D．awkward 29．A．received B．took C．posted D．searched 30．A．real B．essential C．abnormal D．formal 31．A．pushed B．forced C．required D．handled 32．A．competitive B．alternative C．optimistic D．artistic 33．A．transformed B．accessed C．consulted D．challenged 34．A．constantly B．generally C．relatively D．gradually 35．A．costing B．charging C．paying D．consuming 36．A．reputation B．recognition C．motivations D．donations 37．A．come up B．make sense C．hold back D．come true 38．A．quit B．stand C．prevent D．finish四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One day, a youngman 36 begged from door to door along the street. 37 an old wallet in hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat. He kept complaining about his bad 38 and kept wondering why those who had so much money were never 39 and were always desiring more.“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to wear, I would not want anything more."Just at that moment Goddess Fortune 40 the begga r among the crowd and approached him, greeting, “Hi, young man, I have wished to 41 you for a long time. If you open your wallet, I will pour my gold into it. But keep in mind that I will do that only on this 42 : All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold belonging to you; but every piece falling upon the ground 43 become dust, worth nothing. Are you clear?”“I see. Now I’m ready. ” said the beggar with confidence.“Then you should 44 ! It’s obvious that your wallet is a/an 45 one, so don’t load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune.The excited beggar could hardly 46 to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a 47 of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet became heavier and heavier.“Is that enough? Isn’t it cracking? Will your wallet strong enough for more?” warned the Goddess.“Never 48 .It’s still strong enough now” replied the beggar firmly.The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to 49 . “Ah, if only the golden stream would 50 forever! Just a little more,” said the beggar, “ 51 just a handful or two.”“There! It’s full. The wallet will 52 .” warned the Goddess again, but the beggar insisted, “ I know it will 53 a little more, just a little more.”One more piece was added and the wallet split.

Here are some tour plans for you to choose.Tour 1 Garland ValleyBring your drink and lunch for this walk in a beautiful area of the Blue Mountains.

This walk lasts two and a half hours.Cost: $ 12 When: May 8, May 15, May22Tour 3 Black Bear CountThere have been fires in this area in the last few years and the Office of the National Park is not sure how many black bears are still living. Some bears have been seen since the fires, and the Office has asked for young people to help count them. The entire trip will last three hours. Remember to book in advance.Cost: Free When: May 8Advice to be followed:☆ Please bring enough water and food for all walks.☆ Wear good walking shoes-no high heels.☆ Wear a hat for day walks.☆ Dress warmly for night walks.☆ Children must be with an adult.☆ Make sure your flashlight works well and bring extra batteries for night walks.☆ Follow all instructions from guides during the walks. The mountains are sodangerous that you have to care.【1】Where are these tours likely to take place?A．In a modern noisy city.B．In a special kind of zooC．In a park in the mountains.D．In three different countries.【2】On which tours had you better wear a hat according to advice?A．Tour 1B．Tour 2C．Tour 2&3D．Tour 1& 3【3】On which trip are you likely to see animals that are active at night but may sleep during the day?

You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food ata fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephoneIt's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.【1】The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________."A．the type of musicB．the length of a songC．the amount of a soundD．the color of an MP3 player【2】We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_________.A．may annoy othersB．can hurt our earsC．is bad for MP3 playersD．will make us tired【3】If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _________.A．the theatre won't allow itB．the actors will get angryC．others won't hear the play wellD．we may miss part of the play【4】We can take one earphone out when we _________.A．show others the wayB．enjoy a movie at the cinemaC．watch a sporting eventD．answer the telephone at museums【5】The main idea of this passage is about _________.A．MP3 mannersB．music loversC．music playersD．MP3 earphones3.What kind of sports impressed you most during your childhood? Maybe racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of fitness, you wer e just thinking of entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise. Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce , a skip, a knee-up, side swings , as well as a varietyof other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exerciseallowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform equallyto each other . In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space , yet leading to a much healthier life.【1】The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us that .A．people would rather have exercise in a gym than do sports outsideB．there seems to be too much advanced equipment for people to useC．racing around the playground was regarded as children’s favorite sportD．jumping rope has escaped from people’s memories in mo dern society【2】One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.A．it benefits the cardiovascular systemB．it is too difficult for people to learn to jumpC．it is believed to be boring and repetitiveD．it requires little equipment, time and space【3】The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that in rope jumping .A．there is only one proper way to followB．the usual way should not be used againC．the easiest way is always the best oneD．there are different kinds of ways to follow【4】According to the researchers , jumping rope .A．only prepares the brain for learningB．is suitable for students onlyC．helps both brain hemispheres work togetherD．can be dangerous for old people【5】What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping ?A．He strongly argues against it.B．He is in favour of it.C．He is sitting on the fence of it .D．He knows little about it .4.Many famous museums throughout the world can offer you good chances to admire art. Washington, D.C has the National Gallery of Art，Paris has the Louver, London, the British Museum. Florida InternationalUniversity(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit theUniversity to see the art. What you need is just a comput er linked to a telephone. That’s enough.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist will have to need a very expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.【1】The main purpose of this text is to give information about____________.A．famous museums throughout the worldB．an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.AC．art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD．the latest development in computer art in the USA【2】To see the art in FIU museum, which of the following should you have at first?A．some records or floppy discsB．a computer and a printerC．your own pictures and drawingsD．a computer connected by telephone line【3】_________ are stored in the electronic museum in FIU.A．Paintings drawn by computerB．Different styles of paintingsC．Some very traditional paintingsD．Drawings done by students of FIU【4】The museum was started when ___________.A．FIU wanted to encourage computer scientistsB．Robert Shostak decided to help computer artistsC．art students needed a place to show their worksD．computer scientists wanted to do something about art【5】The words “an audience” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A．art studentsB．computer ownersC．exhibits in the museumD．those who will enjoy art四、单词拼写【1】The author has written quite several ___________(小说) about campus life, which are popular with teenagers.【2】The young man ________________(怒视着)at the boss and shouted, “It’s unfair!”【3】The doctor suggested he cut down on fat by ___________ (结合) regular exercise with a varied diet.【4】The unexpected storm may a for poor attendance of the concert.【5】My English is so l that I can’t express mys elf when visiting England.【6】As is known, teaching kids in kindergarten requires great _______________(耐心)【7】You need a ______________(平衡的) diet to keep slim as well as healthy.【8】Newspapers and magazines are not p to be taken out of the reading room.

2020-2021学年格致高级中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABored with your life? Dreaming of something different? I always wonder what life would be like400 kmabove my head. That's where the International Space Station orbits the earth, with six astronauts living and working on board, for months at a time.How do they sleep? They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains, “It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty comfortable and it doesn't matter if I turn overand sleep upside down. I don't have any sensation (感觉) in my head that tells me I'm upside down.”Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a challenge. Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in zero gravity? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste which he has to swallow when he's done.Daily exercise is essential. The lack of gravity makes bones more fragile and muscles lose strength — so astronauts are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.The role of astronauts in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on earth. So they spend their time maintaining their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined space about the size of a Boeing 747. Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control — although most astronauts spend their first days losing things until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls with Velcro, duct tape (强力胶带) or clips (夹子)．One of their most valued perks (额外待遇) is the view from “the office”, dominated by that gigantic blue ball down there, sitting in the darkness of space. Wow! Absolutely breathtaking!1. When they sleep upside down, the astronauts willnot get dizzy because ________.A. they don't feel itB. they sleep in the daytimeC. they sleep in special sleeping bagsD. they are trained to adapt to the conditions of weightlessness2. What parts become weak if astronauts don't exercise?A. Their teeth and bones.B. Their brains and bones.C. Their bones and muscles.D. Their teeth and muscles.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Problems We Met in Space.B. Living and Working in Space.C. How to Become an Astronaut.D. The International Space Station.BIn 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads（有效载荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip（芯片）with 256 threads（线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue（脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.4. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do?A. Launch big satellites.B. Reach distant moons.C. Move around our planet.D. Study the universe.5. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?A. How they'll be set up.B. What safety features they'll have.C. How much money they'll earn.D. Where they'll be produced.6. According to this article, who is Neuralink going to market its product to first?A. Those who own great wealth.B. Those who are physically disabled.C. Those who travel internationally.D. Those who do research on plants.7. In which publication is this article most likely to appear?A. The Journal of Environmental Studies.B. Advances in Business and Technology.C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News,D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.CIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar. However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from thatreservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhouse gases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climate than fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.8. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.9. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.10. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.DThere is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brainscans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found no evidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.The risks of alcohol have long been known：Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”12. What is the function of gray matter?A. Control the mount of alcoholB. Process informationC.
