AKatie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch？”I asked. “I lose it，”she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don’t believe you, Katie.”She didn’t care. “Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？”I took a new track. “No. I just lose it，”she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie ”. Now I understood and I talked to Katie.

With this in mind, I decided to volunteer to break out of this me-centricity. After reaching out to a number of organizations, I got a call back from a dance studio in New Jersey. On my first day volunteering, a remarkable young girl caught my eye. That girl could dance! Aside from her natural skill, which was a delight to witness, she simply lit up the room. She was African American, ten years old and she wore the more lovely big-rimmed glasses. At the end of class, I had to ask her, “How long have you been taking lessons?”She replied shyly, “I wish... I have never taken a class.”I was speechless.Her teacher told me she lived in a group home, and then and there I knewwhat I felt called to do. I called Family Services, started her in dance lessons and trained to become her mentor (良师益友). Now, for the past year and a half, I’ve seen her every week, taking her to eat, to read, to see movies, and to visit street fairs.She once told me “No one ever wanted me. I was doomed (判决) since my birth.”I could only reply, “Honey, you are lovable, worthy and unique. You are stuck with me, and I’m not going anywhere!”We both laughed. I love this kid.

My mom was out for shopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room. Suddenly, it started to snow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily.Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when I opened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs. I let go of the door, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically but I had put a rock, right next to the door so it wouldn’t close. But while I was running to my cousin’s aid I’d accidentally kicked the rock. Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfortunately it started to get really windy. It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad, but he was sleeping soundly. I mean, slept through a tornado soundly. It was of no use.Then I tried to climb over the fence but it didn’t work because the fence was iced by snow and wind, and the fence is six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormed some ideas on ways to get in. At one point, I wasseriously considering jumping out of the tree house and using the trampoline(蹦床) to jump over the fence.So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline. Then I started to jump. First try—I almost cracked my head. Second try—this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second, he chickened out. Third try—I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence, and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luckily, I fell on a big snowdrift.Then I got inside and unlocked the door for my cousin to get in. Finally, my mom came back. Then we shared this story with my mom and dad. 29．When the author wanted to jump in, the main problem was that ________.

But his family, police and firefighters needn’t have worried because another dog was taking care of the boy—the family’s dog Ashapoo. The loyal and trusty dog was always at the side of his owner’s two-year-old grandson.It wasn’t a good thing when Peyton’s grandfather concentrated on picking a beautiful Christmas tree for the family. When he turned around, he found the energetic kid was gone, and so was Ashapoo.When Peyton’s parents showed up to join the hunt for their missing son in the 300 acres of woods, they felt better knowing that the boy was with Ashapoo. It was getting dark and cold as time went by, but there was no progress in the search work. A night passed, and people began getting desperate.When the rescuers made their way to a barn, Ashapoo suddenly appeared, and then ran away barking, leading the searchers to Peyton who was sleeping on the ground. He was fine. The two-year-old boy told his family he was scared, he was going to get hurt, and he was cold. The dad said, “I think Peyton got scared and just lay down to take a nap, and Ashapoo stayed right there with him.”He added, “I guess Ashapoo felt that it was his duty to protect him andbe with him.”And he also said, “I believe the dog was his guardian angel in fur.”The parents said the dog was their hero.

The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology.

In the past, communication was limited to face-to-face interactions or letters. Now, with the advent of the internet and social media, we can connect with people across the globe in an instant. This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives. Spending toomuch time online can lead to social isolation, as people may prefer virtual interactions to real-life ones. Additionally, the constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.Another issue is the potential for online fraud and cybercrimes. With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks. They believe that with proper education and awareness, we can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.Here is an example of how technology has transformed our daily lives:munication: Before the internet, if you wanted to talk to someone in another country, you would have to wait days for a letter to arrive. Now, you can have a video call with them in a matter of minutes.cation: Online courses and e-learning platforms have made education more flexible and accessible. Students can learn at their own pace and from the comfort of their homes.3.Health: Telemedicine has become increasingly popular, allowing patients to consult with doctors remotely and receive treatment without leaving their homes.4.Environment: Technology has enabled us to monitor and control energy consumption more efficiently, reducing our carbon footprint.5.Business: E-commerce has opened up new markets and made it possible for businesses to reach a global audience.Now, read the following passage and choose the best option to complete each sentence.Questions:1.The rise of technology has had a significant impact on our __________.a) educationb) economyc) social livesd) environment2.One of the positive aspects of technology is that it has made __________.a) communication slowerb) information less accessiblec) learning more difficultd) news harder to find3.Spending too much time online can lead to __________.a) increased productivityb) improved communicationc) social isolationd) better health4.Online fraud and cybercrimes are more prevalent due to __________.a) the decrease in personal information shared onlineb) the increase in social media usagec) the elimination of technology in our livesd) the rise of e-commerce5.Many argue that the benefits of technology__________the drawbacks.a) outweighb) ignorec) complementd) emphasize6.The internet has made it possible to have a__________with someone in another country in a matter of minutes.a) letterb) phone callc) video calld) text message7.Online courses have made education __________.a) more expensiveb) less flexiblec) more accessibled) less effective8.Telemedicine has become popular because it allows patients to __________.a) travel to see doctorsb) consult with doctors remotelyc) rely on traditional medicined) avoid doctors altogether9.Technology has helped us to__________energy consumption.a) increaseb) decreasec) monitord) ignore10.E-commerce has enabled businesses to __________.a) reduce their marketsb) reach a global audiencec) focus on local customersd) eliminate physical storesAnswers:1.c) social lives2.c) information more accessible3.c) social isolation4.b) increase in social media usage5.a) outweigh6.c) video call7.c) more accessible8.b) consult with doctors remotely9.b) decrease10.b) reach a global audience六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空（15分）Grammar Fill-in-the-BlankDirections: Read the passage carefully.

AEven if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity（重力）.You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships(宇宙飞船) have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space.21. In this passage, the word “gravity” means.A. the pull of everything.B. the force of attraction(吸引) among objects.C. the force which attracts objects towards the center of the earthD. the force which attracts the earth towards the sun.22. When you slip(滑) you always fall to the ground because.A. the earth always turns round.B. the earth has gravityC. the earth’s gravity is greater than your weight.D. you are careless.23. Gravity is strong that.A. it can throw a ball into the air.B. it makes you jump only seven feet.C. it can let you fly away from the earth.D. it can keep everything on earth.24. Because of gravity,.A. water flows everything.B. we can go everywhere by ship.C. water always flows downwards.D. fish can live in water.25. We can get away from the earth by spaceship because.A. the spaceship goes very fast.B. the earth can’t pull the spaceship.C. the spaceship has a strong force.D. the spaceship can jump higher than other things.BWe have studied in the high school for several months. When I first went intothe school gate and saw my new classroom and teachers. I thought I would have a new start. The school life is very busy and exciting. There are many activities in our school, such as Sports meeting, Science Week, Art Week and so on. We all take an active part in them. I have made many new friends and we often help and learn from each other in study. Our teachers have taught a lot. They not only teach us how to study but also teach us how to be a useful person in society. They tell us which thing is worth doing. Habit is a second nature. Our teachers often tell us to form a good habit.People often say: there is no rule of learning. Now I feel it is true. The study now is far more different than before. I often find there is something difficult to understand at once(立刻). At this time, you must spend a lot of time studying by yourself or you won’t make progress you’ll find it is interesting.Our school is clean and beautiful. There are many trees and flowers around it. In order to make our school more and more beautiful, we should try our best to keep it clean.26.To study well, _________is also important besides studying hard according to this passage.A. good studying habitB. making progressC. being a useful personD. taking part in activities27.The attitude of the writer to his/her school is ____________.A. thankfulB. disappointingC. lovingD. sad28.The life of the students in this school is _____________.A. quietB. terribleC. boringD. harmonious（和谐的）29.The best title（标题）for this passage is _________.A.

I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered（低声说）something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散；放了）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty（诚实）and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating （欺骗；作弊）themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said,and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seem ed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.31. The story took place exactly ____ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab32. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone33.

The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .A. honestyB. sense of dutyC. seriousnessD. all of the above35.

An introduction to a zooD. A photo competition guideBI always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations. When my three children were young, most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters, Alex 11 and Taryn 9, angry.My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age. We reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family. His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”I even tried telling the girls to fight back. Bad idea. Now I had three children at war. Whatever I said to them, they paid no attention. When there was no way out, I told everything to my sister, Mary, in an e-mail. She replied, “Don’t e-mail me. E-mail him.”Our son was online every day, mailing and talking with his friends. Maybe he would actually hear me this way. I didn’t say anything different, but e-mail just took the tension away. There’d be no shouting or door banging. Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.Zack didn’t reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four small words. I smiled when I read them: “You’re right. I’m sorry.”The children still fought, of course, but Zack changed. Best of all, I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them. I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to. They like not having to listen to me shouting to them. Or as Alex says, “You’re so much nicer online.”All I know is that the house is quiet. But we’re talking.24. What was the trouble before the online talk in the family?A. The children couldn’t get along peacefully.B. The writer failed to understand her daughters.C. The family found it difficult to keep the house clean.D. The parents were not willing to talk with their children.25. The writer e-mailed her sister _______.A. to escape from the problemB. hoping she’d e-mail the boyC. to tell her about the family problemD. asking about child-raising26. The underlined phrase “tune me out” in the passage probably means _______.A. pay no attention to meB. get angry with meC. quarrel with meD. keep me out of their rooms27. Why does the writer feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fightsbetween nations?A. Because she doesn’t think the leaders are successful.B. Because she doesn’t think fights can be stopped.C. Because she has nothing to do with the leaders.D. Because she can understand that the leaders’ job is hard.CWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants （居民）of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help thecountry’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities（设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity ,sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.28. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphthat goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourismB. Building roads and hotel is essentialC. Support facilities are highly necessaryD. Planning is of great importance to tourism29. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _________.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure in traffic30. It is good for local people to realize that tourism will _______.A. use up a lot of waterB. weaken their economyC. help form their traditionsD. help improve their life31. It can be inferred from the text that __________.A. the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit（好处）from tourist attractionsC. other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilitiesDSitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a person’s life expectancy(预期寿命) by two years, even if he or she is physically active and gets rid of dangerous habits like smoking, according to a study. Watching TV for more than two hours a day can worsen that problem, decreasing life expectancy by another 1.4 years.The analysis(分析) comes just two years after Australian researchers found that people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TV. Those watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular(心血管的) disease. “Sedentary(久坐的) behavior is something we need to pay attention to, beyond telling people to get 30 minutes of activity a day,” said Peter T.Katzmarzyk, one of the lead researchers. But while the evidence of illness is increasing, it remains difficult for many people to find time to get on their feet, especially if they do desk jobs.Dr. Katzmarzyk said, “Try to stand as much as you can. Instead of emailing someone in the office, just get up and go to talk to them.” However, h e added, standing shouldn’t be an alternative to exercising, but an alternative to sitting. “Several studies show that when you’re sitting, your leg muscles are completely inactive, this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose(血糖).”32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Watching TV too long can worsen our mental health.B. We should be active and give up smoking.C. Sitting for too long a day can shorten one’s life.D. Smoking too much can be harmful to health.33. What does Dr. Katzmarzyk think of sedentary behavior?A. It warns people to exercise 30 minutes a day.B. It’s a bad behavior worth considering seriously.C. It can lead to death at once.D. It is good for desk job workers.34. According to Dr. Katzmarzyk, if you are sitting all the time, you may _________.A. phone your friends and talk about your problemB. put on weight quickly and become more inactiveC. want to have more sugar for your mealsD. find it hard to keep your blood glucose proper.35. The researchers draw the conclusion (结论) on the effect of sedentarybehavior by ______.A. listing figures (数据)B. doing judgingC. giving examplesD. classifying facts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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

She saw the tiger at a distance. The tiger was coming towards the cave. It was dangerous to go out of the cave now. The mother deer thought of a plan. She raised her voice and shouted, “ My dear young children, do not cry. I shall catch a tiger for you to eat. You can have a good dinner.”The tiger heard these words and said to himself, “A dangerous animal is staying inside to catch me. I shall run away to escape death.” Then the tiger began to run away as fast as possible.A jackal(豺狼)saw the tiger and ask him why he was running. The tiger told him that a dangerous animal was inside his cave waiting for his return. Then the jackal said to the tiger, “Don’t be afraid . No animal in this forest is stronger than you. Let’s go together to find out.” But the tiger said, “ I do not want to take a chance. You may run away. I will be left alone to die.

The word “graphite”comes from the Greek word “graphein”, which means “to write”. “Pencil”is an older word, coming from the Latin “pencillus”, meaning “little tail”, to describe the small ink brushes used for writing in the Middle Ages.The first pencil factory, Cumberland Pencil Company, opened in 1832. Cumberland pencils were those of the highest quality, because the graphiteused had no dust and marked the paper very well, which helped them win the popularity among users.The shape of pencils can be square or round, depending on the pencil’s use ----workers don’t want round pencils that are going to roll (滚)off the worktable. Pencil makers generally make pencils into three kinds-----H, HB, and B. “ H” means hard and “B” means black. Among them, the softest is 9B and the hardest is 9H, with the most popular grade, HB, lying midway between H and B. The higher the number before B is, the more graphite(石墨) gets left on the paper. The higher the number before H is, the harder the pencil is. There is also an “F”, or Fine point, which is a hard pencil for writing rather than drawing.The strange thing about graphite is that it is one of the softest solids(固体)known. Yet, it can be changed to one of the hardest solids----the diamond(钻石)29. What is the Cumberland pencil famous for?A. Its inventorB. Its long historyC. Its high qualityD. Its different shapes.30. Why do workers like to use square pencils instead of round pencils?A. Because square pencils mark better.B. Because square pencils have more graphite.C. Because square pencils can stay on the worktable.D. Because square pencils are softer than round ones.31. What can we know about graphite?A. It has different shapes.B. It can be changed to diamond.C. It’s the softest solid in the world.D. It’s the hardest solid in the world.D.If you are a parent with mental (精神病的)illness，or someone in your family is mentally ill, you may find it difficult to talk about it with your children. You may feel embarrassed about the disease. However, it’s important to create a safe space for kids to hear and ask questions about the disease. Here are three tips to help you to get started.Keep the conversation age suitable. A six-year-old may need to know that sometimes his/her dad gets really sad, but she/he doesn’t need to know the details of his/her dad’s mental illness. But a sixteen–year–old should be told more details about the parent’s symptoms(症状) and treatment. Both need to understand that their parent’s sadness is not their fault(过错).Don’t simply wait for your children to bring up their questions or concerns. Kids are usually well aware(意识到的) that something is going on when a parent has a mental illness. Talking about mental illness can happen in the car or at the dinner table. Look for opportunities to introduce the topic in a low-key manner.Allow kids to ask questions, and answer as honestly as possible. Teenagers may wonder if they will develop mental illness as they get older, or worry about the safety of the adults who care for them. This is a good opportunity to talkabout the early signs of depression(抑郁症) or anxiety, and mention how you are taking care of yourself.As a parent, you are your children’s first and the most important teacher. How you deal with your mental illness will have a great influence on their thoughts and feelings. So face it bravely with your children.32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to treat children with mental illness.B. How to recognize children with mental illness.C. How to take care of mental patients at home.D. How to talk to your children about mental illness.33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 ?A. Kids refuse to believe their parent has mental illness .B. It is wise to talk about mental illness in a serious way.C. A relaxed atmosphere(气氛，氛围) can make kids feel less stressed.D. Kids should talk about mental illness with their parents actively.34. What’s the author’s opinion on this issue?A. Mental illness is an unavoidable(不可避免的) disease.B. Parent s’ setting an example to children means a lot.C. It is useless to know the early signs of mental illness.D. Children should take care of the parent who has mental illness.35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?①①①①↙↘↓↙↘↙↓↘②③②②③②③④↘↙↙↘↓↓↘↓↙④③④④⑤⑤↓↘↙⑤⑤A. B. C.

人教版高一上学期期中考试模拟测试第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小題分，满分40分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

ABefore you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do. The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer. Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.21. This passage gives up some advice on____________.A. how to make friends.B. what kind of person you can make friends with.C. how to start a conversationD. the importance of smile.22. Most people like to make friends with those____________.A. who are sad every day.B. who share the same interest.C. who are fond of talking.D. who say bad things to them.23. According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one____________.A. who is always smiling.B. who seems to be friendly.C. who praises them.D. who points out theirshortcoming.24. The underlined(划线的)part in this passage means “___________”.A. being very proud.B. making no answer.C. knowing nothingD. not hoping to answer.BIn a great cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day in New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car enginesFor several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(车道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.But no bike lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow tr affic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest place open ground in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only.25. In New York, a group of bike riders__________________.A. are keeping practicing for health.B. have no cars of their own.C. are complaining there are not enough buses.D. are trying to settle the problem of air pollution.26. The bike riders suggest that____________.A. bike should be used instead of cars.B. bike lanes should be drawn.C. fewer buses or cars should be used.D. the number of special lanes should be decreased.27. The advantage of the special lanes is that____________.A. they will make cars and buses run slowly.B. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks.C. they will make the city more beautiful.D. they will prevent accidentsCTom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop (肉店) during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving(服务) while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目).In the hospital, on the other hand, he was , of course, allowed (允许)to do the simplest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shops and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.One evening at the hospital, Tom had to help to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman happened wasalready feeling frightened at the thought of the operating before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.“No! No!” she cried. “Not the butcher! I won’t be operated on the butcher!” and fainted away（昏厥).28.Tom made enough money by ________.A.studying in the universityB.working in a butcher’s shopC.doing two jobsD.cutting meat well29.Tom was a student, but at the same time he was ____.A. a butcher and a doctorB.a manager and a doctorC.an assistant(助手)D.a manager30.

One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and her someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.I believe a common(普遍的)problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.32.

To present a research result.CLife is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re going to get. I couldn’t understand this better until I came across Carlos, who I would never have believed was going to change my life. One day, I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.“My God, you’re tall,” he said.Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.“Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky（狂妄自信的）newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.Carlos laughed widely. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go , I saw Carlos coming toward me. “I’m sorry I embarrassed you,” he said. I looked straight head over the top of his black hair. “That’s all right.”“I ought to know better.” He was still blocking my way. “What’s your name?” “Karen Forbes.” “You probably heard me say I’m Carlos Herrera.” He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes, “I don’t see why you’re so touchy.”I brushed by him and said sharply, “You wouldn’t understand.”He followed me a few steps. “I’m just the one who should, Karen,” he said, “You and Ihave a lot in common.”It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who has only been in town for a little.”So that morning. I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesn’t seem to bother you-being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great.” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he.” “The trouble with you is that you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red.28. The author was angry because.A. Carlos was too rude to herB. the class made fun of herC. she had to carry many booksD.

It’s a Nokia 1600. If that doesn’t mean much to you(it’s not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that it’s small, not very heavy device with whichyou can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy torch(手电筒)on the top for when you can’t find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema. Apart from that, my phone doesn’t do much. Well, it has an alarm, and it probably has a calculator a nd things like that, but it’s nothing compared to a smart phone. Why would I want one of those?I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smart phone is that “you can do everything with them!”But when was the last time you saw someone doing“everything” with a smart phone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. I’m happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smart phone is that you can be connected to the internet all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I love the internet, but I just don’t see the point of constantly being online. I can’t remember the last time I received a Face book update which was so urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I can’t imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately. I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that.One of the most peculiar effects of the smart phone is, in my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation(导航)systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time? How do you get to know an area if you don’t get lost there a few times? And if you are dependent on online maps, what happens to those great places you find just by chance? You can’t exactl y find out from google maps the journey from “here” to “that hidden café with the tasty-looking cakes” or to “that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening sun.” It is, of course, true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone, like the fact that it cost me about twenty pounds, and that I don’t have to worry too much about it being stolen. But the main benefit has to be the fact that it provides me with the world’s greatest excuse for my bad habits. Whether it’s turning up late for events, or getting lost on a trip, or missing buses or trains, or forgetting about an appointment at work, I’m pretty sure I’m covered with the followingexplanation “I’m really sorry, but I don’t have a smart phone.”32. The writer uses his Nokia 1600 mainly to .A. play online gamesB. make calls and text messagesC. check social network sitesD. do calculating work33. According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may.A. be misled to a totally wrong placeB. find a boring trip actually excitingC.be persuaded to eat in a certain cafeD.miss some really wonderful places34.To the writer,one benefit of having a basic mobile phone is that .A.it can remind him of important appointmentsB.it can often be found back after it is stolenC.it can save him the trouble of catching trainsD.it can be used as an excuse for his bad habits35.The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to .A.explain why he doesn’t want a smartphoneB.warn readers of the risks of using smartphonesplain about the troubles caused by smartphonesD.infrom readers of the latest development of mobile phones第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Which word can NOT be used to replace the underlined word?A. decreaseB. dropC. increaseD. lesseningBEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human being s can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural (复数的) of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural o f booth be beeth? One goose, two geese —so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it shows the creativity(创造力)of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they can be seen; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There should be egg in an eggplant.B. Pineapples are the apples on the pine tree.C. Sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things.D. Boxing rings should be round.27. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth.B. Tooth.C. Meese.D. Geese.28. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. Quite a lot and quite a few.C. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.29. What does the underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean ?A. add upB. recoverC. finishD. get tired of30. What does the writer want to tell us through the many paradoxes in theEnglish language?A. Human beings are clever.C. Human beings arehard-working.B. Human beings are crazy.D. Human beings are dull. CIt seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friendsalways rely on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.31. Some friendships don’t last long because ________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersC. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship backD. they don’t know friendship is something important32.

Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.D. Sharing your mind with your friends is valuable.34. In the third paragraph, the underlined word “they” means ________.A. generosity and friendshipB. your ideas and feelingsC. generosity and sharingD. your clothes35.
