2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.The sharing economy got big during the recession(经济衰退). It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.21 The writer usually rideshares with _____.A. anyone heading the same wayB. people he knowsC. friends of friendsD. strangers of his age22. Some young people choose to rideshares instead of driving because _____.A. driving means offering free rides to others.B. getting a driving license becomes more difficult.C. driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.D. driving makes them disconnected from technology.23. We can conclude from the passage that _____.A. the writer rideshares in order to save moneyB. people under 18 are not allowed to driveC. people can’t live well without others’ helpD. the older generation had to fight for freedomBNature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun’s ultraviolet(UV)(紫外线)light.Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they ge t weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain’s function in rats suggests thatthese chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.Don’t just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn’t the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.24. Which of the following not true?A. Antioxidants are responsible for plant colorsB. Plants use color to attract attentionC. Antioxidants can protect plants from UV lightD. Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants25. In which order do the following facts occur?a. Wrinkled skin can be seenb. UV light causes free radicals to formc. Free radicals damage cells in our bodiesd. The sun gives out UV lightA. a, b, c, dB. d, b, c, aC. c, a, d, bD. d, b, a, c26. We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.A. our bodies’ defences are not naturalB. we are too young to defend ourselvesC. our defences get weaker as we get olderD. our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away27. Which of the following can not cause free radicals to form?A. Colorful foodB. UV light from the sunC. Polluted airD. The body itselfCThe ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything.”"We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy," Spencer says. "But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is goodfor memory skills. "The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and maths levels.Not in the curr iculum (课程)Research shows it's not that smart kids play music; it's that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer's call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and maths.“Music is everywhere, but not at 75 per cent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher," Spencer says. "It's sad that many children don't have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child's development.”It's up to parentsInvolving our children in music doesn't have to be expensive. And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally(下意识地), be it through singing, the radio or stereo. But parents can take it to the next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles.For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents don't have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about it.Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica," Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments."I can't stress enough how important music is," he says. "It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”28.Plato's words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that ______.A. music has magic powerB. everything is related to musicC. Don Spencer admires PlatoD. music was important in ancient time29. From the research mentioned in the passage, we can learn ______.A. music can make children smarterB. children aged four to six have better memoriesC. there are no professional music teachers in AustraliaD. music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools30. It can be inferred from the last four paragraphs that ______.A. parents always expose their children to different musicB. parents cannot talk about music with their older childrenC. musical instruments are often expensive and not availableD. people can have easy access to learning how to play instruments31. What might be the best title for the passage?A. When Music Is TaughtB. Why Music MattersC. What We Learn from MusicD. How Children Learn MusicDThey are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening type s scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, KeithRichards and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: ‘Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.’ A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.32. The underlined word “owl” in the text means:__________A. A bird of prey that flies at nightB. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdomC. A kind of person who stays up lateD. A kind of person who gets up early33. The following features belong to night owls except that _______.A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiserB. Night owls have a strong ability to reason logicallyC. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinkingD. Night owls stay up late and sle ep later in the morning34. What’s the author’s attitude towards night owls?A. Skeptical.B. Negative.C. Subjective.D. Objective.35. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The early bird will catch the worm.B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.D. President Obama and George W Bush are models of night owls.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项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

时遁市安宁阳光实验学校实验高中高二年级上学期第一次周练英语试卷第一部分:阅读理解AWhen Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.29. What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A .a far better artistB. a far more gifted artistC. a much stronger personD .a much more famous person30.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .A.polioB.her bent spineC. back injuriesD. the operations she had31.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent sincethe .A.1930sB.1940sC.1950sD.1970s32.What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?A. Love.B. Pity.C .Worry. D. Encouragement.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’tthink it was good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as an assistant at a famous publisher(业). 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 and long 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, when 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 make it.” My confidence dived. Believing 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(反馈). 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 unbelievable, 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).33.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 a job for more pay at a time.34.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 money35.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A.Optimistic.B.Interested.C.Confident.D.Uncertain.36.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.It pays off 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.CAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids (孩子) to? Try some of these places:·Visit art museums.They offer a variety of activities to excite yo ur kids’ interest.Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children’s favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.·Head to a natural history museum.This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky.Also, different kinds of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.·Go to a Youtheater. It offers plays for child and fa mily visitors.Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts.Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.·Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups. They’ll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.37.If a child is interested in space, he probably will visit .A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a natural history museumD.a hands-on science museum38.

Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong, and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.An English idiom says, “You can't teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn't true. Older people can learn, and they should keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said, “It's like a health club for the brain.” Also, universities like MIT have made all of the courses and lectures available online for free! Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available, there is no excuse not to learn!Learning is a habit. Don't leave it behind after you leave school. On the website , author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.Always have a book. It doesn't matter whether you read fast or slow. Just read.

天全中学2015—2016学年上期高二第10周周考英语试题〔总分为100分时间35分钟〕班级:姓名:成绩:第一节:阅读理解〔4*2.5=10分〕IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot. He looks like a real person. He talks to you and plays with you. He can even think for himself and figure out what you need.It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time. But come to think of it, can you really trust him?Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have obsessed(迷恋)over the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they become too similar to humans, people begin to feel uncomfortable.This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, but instead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor that clearly indicates its robot status.“As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine, even if they project their feelings into it, then they feel comfortable, 〞Rolf Pfeifer, the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told the BBC.But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of thoseinterviewed agreed that robots are“necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people〞, such as space exploration and war fighting. But when it comes to taking care of children, 60 percent of respondents said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots become more sophisticated(先进的), parents may be tempted to hand over too much responsibility to them.No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us.1. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy.B. To discuss problems related to designing robots.C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.2. Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?A. To better protect it.B. To make it look cool and modern.C. To distinguish it clearly from a human.D. To keep its price down.3. According to the second-to-last paragraph, most of the people interviewed.A. welcome robots into their homesB. believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasksC. think families with children shouldn’t use robots for houseworkD. are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them4. Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?A. Objective.B. Critical.C. Admiring.D. Anxious.第二节:完形填空〔20*3=60分〕On the course, the first step of the lead usually means the final victory, so the success and failure of your life may lie in whether you dare to 1 yourself.As a student, I was most 2 to answer questions in class.

Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was JoséAndrés, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He's also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected by natural disasters and other emergencies (突发事件). “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andrés said. At press time, WCK had served about 300,000meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn't very healthy. Andrés thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andrés grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andrés said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it's common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves (煤气灶) and water lines. Together, this has made schools cleaner and safer for more than65,000 people.4. Why did Andrés start WCK?A. To comfort the injured people.B. To rebuild popular restaurants.C. To provide meals for those in need.D. To teach people how to survive a natural disaster.5. What does the underlined word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Basic rules.B. Strange suggestions.C. Abilities to compete.D. Ways of saving time.6. What can be learned about WCK?A. It prefers children volunteers.B. It brings cooks a good return.C. It employs good Spanish-style cooks.D. It depends greatly on voluntary helpers.7. What does WCK bring to Haiti?A. Clean and safe cooking.B. Prepackaged meals.C. Highly-competitive schools.D. Professional and easy-going cooks.CFirst impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I'm not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I'm willing to bet (打赌) you've done it, too. Consider this, though: If I'd let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person's facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a roun d face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn't smiley in their photo.The results showed that first impressions often aren't all right. Look, it's really unfortunate that first impressions aren't always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they're right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course,giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you cando is be the best person you can.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck's novel?A. First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgments at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photos.C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One's facial appearance is really important.11. What's the author's advice according to the text?A. Don't be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don't be judgmental.D. Disregard others' suggestionsDWhen you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well,now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.12. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities?A. Its smaller population.B. Its locals' requirements.C. Its government's strict law.D. Its wider area of green space.13. Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal?A. In Paragraph 1.B. In Paragraph 2.C. In Paragraph 3.D. In Paragraph 4.14. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A. The values of newly-founded parks.B. The importance of his movement.C. The influence of green space on cities.D. The preparation for setting up a movement.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. London is leading the world in park constructionB. London becomes the world's first National Park CityC. London is listed as the world's most-visited cityD. London has built the world's first underground park第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

The tree is usually a pine or fir(杉木) dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down themselves. Some people bring a live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors. Some people rent a Christmas tree. Companies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year. Or the tree might get planted in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.There are some trees that can be reused year after year because they are made of plastic or metal. Or, instead of a tree, some people have a small, sweet-smelling rosemary (迷迭香) plant, cut to look like a little Christmas tree.Another plant that many people connect with Christmas is the poinsettia (一品红). Poinsettias are native to Mexico. They can be white or pink, but most are bright red. They are named after the first American ambassador to Mexico. Joel Poinsett liked them enough to send some back to the United States. Babies or pets that chew on poinsettias might get sick. But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think.Like millions of other houses, the home of America’s first president is decorated for Christmas. George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate is in Virginia. Visitors can hear stories about what Christmas was like at Mount Vernon in the eighteenth century. The museum where visitors begin their tour is decorated with Christmas trees.21. What is the text mainly about?A. The customs of Christmas in America.B. The decoration of Christmas trees.C. The tradition of Christmas trees in America.D. The history of Christmas in America.22. It can be inferred from the passage that ______________ .A. Americans are not allowed to cut a tree for ChristmasB. Americans have various ways to get a Christmas treeC. a Christmas tree must be planted after it is usedD. every family will change their Christmas trees every year23. People plant their Christmas trees somewhere after Christmasto ____________ .A. use it again next yearB. save money on Christmas treesC. help protect the environmentD. hope for the best in the coming year24.

At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.“Hey, Sheba, ”she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club. ”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet(兽医).

Wait outside!”At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now. ”Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white —faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.“My God, ”said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”“I think he must be a burglar. ”said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers. ”26.What was Joanne supposed to do at 6:30?A.To walk her dog.B.To see her doctor.C.To attend a club meeting.D.To play tennis with her friends.27.Joanne wanted to get back to her home again __________________ .A.to dress up for the meetingB.to phone the police stationC.to catch the badly hurt burglarD.to wait for her dog to be cured28.From the passage, we can infer that _________________.A.Sheba fought against the burglarB.the police found the burglar had broken inC.Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meetingD.the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog29.In this passage, the writer intends to tell us that the dog is ____________.A.clever B.friendly C.frightening D.devoted三语法填空Nowadays, more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to School.

At my school, "dress down" tickets 38 (sell) on school days. If students are willing to buy a ticket, they don't need to wear school uniforms the following day. I have a strong 39 (believe) that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets, too.四.改错It was a year ago that Joshua got a bike for Christmas, but he rode it every day.

It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never pletely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far morethan any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the page s of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.74 A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.A. popularityB. uniform styleC. wide coverageD.speed in reporting news75. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that __________.A. people have different views about what a good newspaper isB. people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsC.people scan for the news they are interested inD. different people prefer different newspapers76. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _________.A. apply reading techniques skillfullyB. jump from one newspaper to anotherC. appreciate the variety of a newspaperD. read a newspaper selectively usually77. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because__________.A. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityB. readers like to read different newspapersC.it tries to serve different readersD. readers are difficult to please78. The best title for this passage would be “__________”.A. The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperB. The Variety of a Good NewspaperC. The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityD. Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperCI lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car ina freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have e to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world bees. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That wasbasic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and bee a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach becausethat only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.79. We can learn from the beginning of the passage that __________________.A. the author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. the disaster strengthened the author's desire to seeC. the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D. .the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.80. What's the most difficult thing for the author?A. Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.B. To find a special work that suits the author.C. Learning to manage his life alone.D. How to adjust himself to reality.81. According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the authorA. was paralyzed and stayed in a rocking chair.B. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.C. would sit in a chair and stay at home.D. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.82. According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the manA. inspired the author.B. hurt the author's feeling.C. gave the author a deep impressionD.directly led to the invention of ground ball.83. According to the passage, which of the following is CORRECT?A. The author set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time.B. The author suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning.C. Because of his limitations, the author tried to reach one goal at a time.D. The bitterness of failure prevented the author from trying something out of reach.D“OK,”I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of agroup of third-graders at her camp-- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy plained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean. And she’s fat.” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat.” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说).“We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this.” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth ge tting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.“It’s not always that easy,” I said . “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and mented , “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”Does she need to know, n ow, that life isn’t fair ? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.So I tell her the only thing I can e up with that is absolutely true.I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit theretogether, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, butI can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.84.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ______.A. has turned against her friend J.B.gets along well with her friend J.C. has begun to pete with her friend J.D. often makes fun of her friend J.85.Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?A.

After hard practice, by the time school started that year I’d gotten the hang of it. I was happy in my new work. I became a bination of chauffeur, nurse and friend. And if the kids needed it, I’d put on my “Tough Big Sister” act. It was a lot like my previous job---being a mom.When I think about my years of bus driving, many things crowded in, but mostly, I remember Charlie.Charlie, eight years old, with blond hair and crystalline gray eyes, began riding my bus in September of my fourth year driving. They all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie, though, ignored me. He didn’t even answer when I asked his name.From that day on, Charlie was a trial. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my head to know who had started it. If someone was throwing spitballs I could guess the culprit’s name. If a girl was crying, chances were Charlie had pulled her hair. No matter how I spoke to him, gently or firmly, he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just stare at me with those big gray eyes of his.I asked around some, and found out Charlie’s father was dead and hedidn’t live with his mother. He deserves my patience, I thought. So I practiced every bit of patience I could muster. To my cheer y “Good Morning”, he was silent. When I wished him a happy Halloween, he sneered. Many, many times I asked God how I could reach Charlie. “I’m at my wit’s end.” I’d say. Still I wa s sure that this child needed to feel some warmth from me. So, when he’d pass by, I’d ruffle his hair or pat him on the arm.Toward the end of that year, the kids on my bus gave me a small trophy inscribed “To the Best Bus Driver Ever”. I propped it up on the dashboard. On top I hung a small tin heart that a little girl had given me. In red paint she had written, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”On the next-to-last day of school I was delayed a few minutes talking to the principal. When I got on the bus I realized that the tin heart was gone. “Does anyone know what happened to the little heart that was up here?” I asked. For once with 39 children, there was silence.One boy piped up, “Charlie was the first one on the bus. I bet(打赌) he took it.” Other children joined the chorus, “Yeah! Charlie did it! Search him!” I asked Charlie, “Have you seen the heart?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he protested(抗议). Standing up, he took a few pennies and a small ball out of his pockets. “See, I don’t have it.”“I bet he does!” insisted the girl who had given me the heart. “Check his pockets.”Charlie glowered when I asked him to e forward. His gaze burned into mine. I stuck my hand into one pocket. Nothing. I reached into the other pocket. Then I felt it ---the familiar outline of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no tears in those big gray eyes, no plea(乞求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d e to expect from the world. I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket when I stopped myself. Let him keep it, a voice seemed to whisper.“It must have fallen off before I got here,” I said to the kids. “I’ll probably find it back at the depot.” Without a word, Charlie returned to his seat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me. That summer Charlie moved away.Eventually I retired. And there my story as a school bus driver ends, except for one more incident. A dozen years after retirement I was in a。

Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting th em. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big firecan be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped. 21.The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment22.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires23.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been severa l great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.The Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间)trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully(恐吓)other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.“It is importa nt to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to wh o has access to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinki ng about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.24.Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A. At the teacher’s office.B. At the net bar.C. At the classroom.D. At home.25.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean ___________.A. some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sitesB. some educato rs can’t block students from accessing social networking sitesC. some educators can’t connect social networking sites easilyD. some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites26.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.B. There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C. Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D. Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question. 27.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Lessons Online?B. Friendship Online?C. Dangers Online?D. Information Online?They may be small, and unable to have an adult conversation, but babies are proving their collective cleverness.While your baby still might not be able to speak, he or she knows about you’re feeling down. Babies as young as 5 months of age can distinguish an exciting tune from a sad one, according to a study published in 2014 in the journal Neuron.Speaking of music, it seems that babies can’t resist it. Not only are their ears sensitive to the beats, babies can actually dance in time to them, according to a study published in 2010. To test their dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music and speech to them, and videotaped the results. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs, feet, and heads much more in response to the music than to speech. The findings suggest this dancing ability is innate(天生的) in humans.Babies can apparently learn even while asleep. As newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping, this newfound ability might be crucial(至关重要的) for them to adapt rapidly to the world around them, and help ensure survival, the researchers say. The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Deciding whether another person is helpful or harmful is crucial in choosing friends —and that ability starts being visible early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6– and 10– month – olds some anthropomorphized(人格化的) shapes, in which one shape helped another climb a hill, while a third shaped pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which shape they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper shapes. This character–judging ability could be the first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin says.28. What does the third paragraph mainly say?A. Babies are born to dance.B. Babies prefer classical music.C. Babies love listening to music.D. Babies can tell different tunes apart.29.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Babies can understand emotions.B. Babies value friendship very much.C. It’s hard for babies to adapt to the world around them.D. Babies show no reaction to speech.30.Kiley Hamlin found that babies _____________.A. love to make friendsB. learn nothing while asleepC. can tell right from wrongD. like watching anthropomorphized shows三、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
