When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉头）, 21 when he saw it was Amy, a broad 22 changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy.

She was inspired by her dad, who had been a fighter when he was younger. But when she first told her dad that she wanted to box, he said, “No! No! Boxing is a man’s sport.” It made Claressa so mad. Claressa wouldn’t back down. “I wanted to fight. I knew that whatever I put my heart and my work into, I was going to be successful at it,” she says.Finally, her dad took her to the boxing gym to start training. She was the only girl. Claressa now has a boxing record of 23 wins and zero losses. “I think you’re right,”her dad told her not long ago. He’s proud that she proved him wrong.Boxing can be dangerous. How does Claressa feel when she steps into the boxing ring（拳击场）? “I’m not nervous. And I’ve never gotten into the ring thinking that a girl can beat me,” she says.But Claressa takes the competitions seriously. “I always tell myself it’s going to be harder than I think,” she says. “I fight them all like they are world champions. If I think it’s going go be easy, I’m done!”Claressa will need all her confidence this month. From May 9 to May 20, she will be in China. There, she’ll fight in the Women’s World Boxing Championships. Claressa must place in the top eight in her weight class out of all the women boxers in the world. Otherwise she can’t go to the Olympics, even though she’s on the U.S. Olympic team.We asked Claressa to imagine stepping into the ring at the Olympics. Would it feel any different from her other fights? “No,” she says. “Just a fight. Just another girl in my way.”36. When Claressa first told her father she wanted to be a boxer, he ___________.A. kept silentB. didn’t support herC. took her to start trainingD. gave her some useful advice37. When Claressa steps into the boxing ring, she is ____________.A. violent and wildB. proud and relaxedC. serious and patientD. confident and calm38. What can we learn about Claressa from the text? ___________A. She loves China greatly.B. She will take part in the Olympics.C. She has the best boxing record in the world.D. She is a member of the U.S. Olympic team.39. What’s the best title for this text? _____________A. A fashionable lifestyleB. Fighting for her dream.高二英语第3页共11页C. Being a successful womanD. A future Olympic championBWhat do John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and John Lennon have in common? Well, apart from the fact that all three were shot, they all have airports named after them. JFK is in New York. Ronald Reagan Airport is in Washington DC. And John Lennon Airport is in Liverpool.In fact, quite a few royals also get an airport. Princess Julian Airport is on the Dutch island of Saint Martin, and Queen Beatrix Airport is on Aruba. President George Bush had Houston International, and Gerald Ford gets a small airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan.The world of entertainment had done quite well, too. New Orleans has its airport named after the jazz star Louis Armstrong. US film star John Wayne is getting an airport in Santa Ana, California. The Italians play tribute to pioneering figures Christopher Columbus and Leonardo da Vince at airports in Genoa and Rome. Both are surely worth an airport, even if neither ever actually flew.So, what’s the world’s busiest airport? For many years, London’s Heathrow Airport had this title, but this is now argued. Although Heathrow does have the largest number of international passengers every year, Frankfurt Airport flies to the most international destinations, however, the airport with the most passengers and flights is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the U.S., which serviced 88 million passengers and 970,235 fights in 2009.The world’s largest airport is also a fiercely contested title. Riyadh’s King Khalid international Airport covers 484 square miles, and is now regarded as the champion. However, first place is about to pass to the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport, which has been open to passenger traffic since 2011, although it won’t be fully complete until 2013. it’ll be about to meet the needs of 160 million passengers per year with its four terminals （候机厅）and five runways.What about runways? Well, the longest airport runway is Qamdo Bangda Airport in China at 5,500 meters. The shortest is Saba International Airport in the British Virgin Islands, at only 400 meters.40. What does the underlined part “pay tribute to” in Paragraph 3 means? ______A. KeepB. WatchC. PraiseD. Show41. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? ________A. Frankfurt Airport is bigger than Heathrow Airport.B. It’s hard to say which the world’s busiest airport is.C. The busiest airport should have the most passengers.D. The airport servicing the most flights in London.42. According to the text, the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport _________.A. had been put into use.B. has an area of 484 square miles.C. had become the world’s largest airport.D. transported 160 million passengers in 2011.CFlorida teen Felicia Frisco loves her cat, will. She plays with him, feeds him, and even sleeps with him every night.Sounds like a normal cat, right? Not quite. Will is Bengal tiger.Six in ten Americans own some type of pet --- a dog, a cat, or maybe a hamster. Such animals can live among humans. Will, however, is an “exotic pet.”In fact, as many as 18 million Americans own exotic pets, from monkeys to snakes tokangaroos.Why would you want to own such an animal---especially one that could eat you? There are lots of reasons. Owning an exotic pet can be a way to express your personality. For some, these pets are status （身份）symbols --- a way to show off. But just look at Paris Hilton. In 2005, she raised a honey bear, a small mammal native to Central and South America. She liked it very much until one day it bit her so deeply that she had to go the hospital.Luckily, Hilton made a full recovery. Exotic pets can attract their owners at any moment because they’re wild. They have instinct （本能）we can’t always predict or control. Some people say it’s cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats.Or course, exotic pets, when cared for responsibly, can be wonderful company. As professional animal handlers, Felicia’s parents can give will a good life. But not everyone is so knowledgeable.The fact is exotic pets are a lot of work and a lot of money. (Felicia’s parents spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on will every year.) As a result, many owners end up ignoring or even throwing away their animals.Though there are the risks, may Americans are willing to raise an exotic pet.As for Felicia and Will? Some experts say a tiger shouldn’t ever share a bed with a person. Zookeeper Jack Hanna compares it to sleeping with a bomb （炸弹）. But Felicia isn’t concerned. She says that raising Will is “kind of like raising a dog.”Yeah … kind of.43. According to the text, exotic pets refer to those animals that ___________.A. are unusual.B. are endangered.C. can protect humans.D. can live with people.44. What can we learn from the text? ________________.A. No more than 50% of Americans own pets.B. Keeping pets can reduce tee ns’ pressure.C. Paris Hilton gave up keeping her pet after she was hurt.D. Felicia’s parents look after her pet in a professional way.45. How does zookeeper Jack Hanna feel about a tiger living with a person? _______A. WorriedB. ShockedC. ConfusedD. Disappointed46. What does the author mainly discuss in this text? __________A. Is it necessary to keep a pet?B. Should a tiger be your pet?C. How should we take care of our pets?D. Should teens share a bed with their pets?DIn 1862, Charles Darwin made a prediction --- a moth （蛾）with an 11-inch-long tongue lived on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.A friend had sent Darwin a plant called the Christmas Star orchid. It produced star-shaped flowers in December and grew only in the forests of Madagascar, near the east coast of Africa.The key to Darwin’s prediction was a strange part of the plant, an 11-inch-long tube hanging from its flower. He could make his prediction just by looking at the strange flower because he knew how plants make seeds.The pollinator （传粉者）, such as a bird, bee, or moth, visits flowers to drink the nectar, a sugary liquid. The flower holds the pollen near the nectar. While the animal is taking the nectar, the animal cannot avoid having pollen stick to its body. At the next flower, pollen comes off, and that second flower can make a new seed.高二英语第5页共11页Darwin knew that the long tube on the Christmas Star orchid was important because it held the nectar that a pollinator would come to drink. But what animal had a tongue almost a foot long?The Christmas Star orchid gave off a sweet smell but only at night. Its white petals were easy to see in the dark. Both of these clues pointed to a nighttime pollinator. Darwin also knew that the orchids grow far apart. A pollinator would have to be a strong, fast flier to make its way from one flower to another. These clues pointed to a moth. Most moths are active at night, and most are strong fliers. And they drink nectar through a tongue-like feeding organ.Darwin predicted that someday a moth with a long tongue would be found in Madagascar.A few scientists made fun of his prediction. No one had ever seen a moth with an 11-inch-long tongue.Scientists searched for 41 years. Finally, in 1903 (21 years after Darwin’s death) a new type of moth with an 11-inch-long tongue was discovered in Madagascar.47. Which of the following is a picture of the Christmas Star orchid?48. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ____________.A. how plants make seedsB. why the nectar tastes like sugarC. what animals like to drink nectarD. where flowers hold the pollen49. How did Darwin make his prediction?A. By studying the behavior of moths.B. By researching into different pollinators.C. By gathering information about Madagascar.D. By observing the Christmas Star orchid closely.50. According to the text, Darwin’s prediction___________.A. was made 100 years ago.B. proved to be completely right.C. was made with the help of his friend.D. won other scientists’ support immediately.IV. 单词拼写（共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词, 在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式, 每空只写一词。

Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and resear ch into their background and environment. Then predict their ch ances for the future.The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boy s, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would sp end some time in prison.Twentyfive years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the sa me area. Some of the boys—by then men—were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but the y got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The res earchers were continually told: “Well, there was a teacher...”They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remem bered her?“No，” she said, “no I really couldn't.” And then, thinking back o ver the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her q uestioners: “I loved those boys.”41．What were a group of graduate students instructed to do?A. To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens.B. To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids.C. To study 200 boys in the slums between 12 to 16 and predict their future.D. To survey the background and environment of 200 teenager s.42．Seeing only four boys with bad records, the researchers pr obably felt________.A. relievedB. surprisedC. disappointedD. frust rated43．Most of the 200 surveyed boys grew into good citizens because________.A. their parents were strict with themB. they had great ambition as childrenC. they were expected to do good deedsD. a woman teacher loved and cared them44．What conclusion can we draw from the story?A. Love can work miracles.B. Like teacher, like pupil.C. Adversity leads to prosperity.D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.BBeldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart.
