河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第二次月考(英语)
河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题一卷（满分70分）一阅读理解（满分30分）AEven small cuts can become infected if they are left untreated. Any break in the skin can let bacteria (细菌) enter the body. But taking good care of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.Medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. Lake or ocean water should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. They say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢).It is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. After the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. They also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. Finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. As the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. A high body temperature is also a sign of infection. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Seek help from a doctor.For larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. Place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. Direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. Do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. Instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. Use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. If the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.1. To treat a wound, you should NOT ______.A. clean it with sea waterB. clean the dirt around itC. cover it with a clean clothD. use peroxide2. What should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?A. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.B. Put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.C. Do nothing as it’s not serious.D. See a doctor as soon as possible.3. The underlined word “victim” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______”.A. woundB. painC. bandageD. patient4. Which is the RIGHT order in dealing with large wounds or bleeding?a. Put another cloth on top.b. Cover the wound with a clean cloth.c. Hold the wound tightly.d. Wash the cut with running water.e. Send for a doctor if it is needed.A. a, b, c, dB. b, c, a, eC. d, b, c, aD. c, b, a, eBThe US space shuttle Discovery’s safe landing is an obvious comfort to NASA, which was forced to pause construction of the half-built space station three years ago when the shuttle Columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.After landing, shuttle commander Steve Lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of da mage after its long journey. “This is my fourth flight, and I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.”That is important to NASA, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible.NASA chief Michael Griffin attributes Discovery’s success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck.“This is as good a mission as we’ve ever flown, but we’re not going to get overconfident,” he said. “We have to take it flight by flight.”During Discovery’s two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since Columbia’s accident. It also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its crew members made repairs to station system s critical to continuing the outpost’s construction. Michael Griffin said, “So with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.”Station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle Atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components.Griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. He says only 16 shuttle flights remain before the fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space station’s construction schedule.“We don’t have any leeway (松懈),”he said. “We have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. So, we can’t afford to mess up.”5. From the passage, we learn that __________.A Steve Lindsey has travelled four times in spaceB. it took NASA less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damageC the shuttle Discovery forced NASA to pause construction of the space stationD. Discovery’s successful flight was due to luck6. What do we know about the shuttle Discovery from the passage?A. It broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.B. Its successful flight means NASA can continue constructing the space station.C. It sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.D. It carried two crew members to the space station.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that Michael Griffin has ever seenB. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futureC. the space station construction will be continued soonD. the crew members haven’t repaired the space station8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Space station construction to be continued.B. Space flight accident avoided again.C. Space shuttle Discovery lands safely.D. The space shuttle Discovery’s two-week flight.CBurns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.9. The underlined sent ence in the first paragraph probably means “______”.A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriouslyB. They range from slight burns to deadly onesC. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyD. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly10. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.A. what kind of treatment they needB. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedC. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isD. which layer of skin is burned11. From the passage we learn that _______.A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentB. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatmentC. burns without pains can be treated at homeD. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeB. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aidC. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is b rokenD. you shouldn’t place any wet towels on the burned areaDFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservationis the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.13. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.14. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.二完形填空（满分30分）Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 71 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.72 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.73 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people u sing their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”74 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 75 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.二卷（满分50分）班级：_________ 姓名：___________ 考号：___________四语法填空(每空1.5分，满分15分)One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.

AWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan. "And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don’t send me check, already two weeks late. "And then, in perfe ct English I said, "I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived. "Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss. " And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can’ttolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week. "The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.21. Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was often misunderstood.B. She was unable to speak good English.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.22. From Paragraph 2,we know that the author was .A. unwilling to phone for her motherB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD.good at pretending23. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New York immediatelyC. they failed to get the checkD. they spoke to their boss at once24. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her tolerate rude people.D. It helps her understand the world.BGiselle and Finnegan have given Mother’s Day a strange new style. It seems that a mother dog has adopted(收养)a baby squirrel(松鼠)who doesn’t have parents.When Finnegan was in need of help，I took him in. To my surprise，my dog Giselle，who gave birth to babies a week ago，liked the little animal and took him into her home. Giselle seemed to know that the baby was in need of some love. Finnegan was perfectly happy to stay with the little dogs.A mother dog is much like a human mother who feeds，protects，and teaches her children to live in their world. In the early weeks，a mother dog will protect her babies，keep them warm，nurse them and clean them. As they grow older and begin to walk，she teaches them to play outside and keep their living places clean.She also teaches them how to deal with others and how to obey parents.It is natural for little dogs to play，but when they do not behave well，the mother dog will step in. If the play becomes too rough(粗暴的)，she will discipline(使守纪律)all the little dogs by holding them down until they stop struggling. That’s why it is best for l ittle dogs to stay with their mother until at least 7 or 8 weeks of age.Giselle’s doggy methods of mothering may go against the squirrel’s instincts(本能)as he grows older. I have no doubt that Giselle’s loving care helped the little squirrel live during those early days.25. According to this passage，Finnegan is ________.A. a little squirrel that is being looked after by a dogB. a warmhearted woman who loves animalsC. a little dog whose parents left himD. a dog mother who is good at taking care of babies26. Which of the following does a mother dog NOT do?A. Feed and protect her little dogs.B. Provide her babies with milk.C. Teach her babies how to fight others.D. Show her babies how to keep clean.27. Why will the dog mother step in if the little dogs start to play roughly?A. She wants to play with them.B. She wants to punish them.C. She wants them to respect and love each other.D. She wants to correct their behavior.28. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Mother Dog’s Love for BabiesB. Animals and HumansC. A Mother Dog’s DayD. A Dog and Its OwnerCYour job is important and part of what shows who you are. However, in order to be truly successful in life you need to be balanced. After fifteen years in the Information Technology industry, I have learned a few lessons that have helped me maintain my sanity (明智) at work.The key for me has always been to have hobbies and interests outside of work. It doesn’t matter what you do, but you need time away from your work, time away from your family and time that is strictly yours for enjoyment. This blog, for example, is one of my new hobbies. Without hobbies, or at least a time to decompress, I feel that by the end of the week I’m dead and no use to my family all the weekend long.I put family first. This doesn’t mean I’m a clock-watcher at work, but means that I leave my work at work and make time for my family. I make sure I’m there for supper almost every night and I spend time with my family (And watching TV doesn’t count). My overall life runs a lot better when I make sure I give time to my family.If I don’t do something active like running, playing soccer or rock climbing, I tend to be ill-tempered. This is the way I deal with my stress; it’s not only something that makes me feel good, but also means that I can focus on work.I take time for personal reflection (反省). It makes me feel like all those goals I haven’t reached yet are attainable(可达到的) if I stay focused and on course.29. We can learn from the text that the author .A. thinks people are what they doB. posted this text in his blogC. seldom has supper with his familyD. worked in the IT industry 15 years ago30. What does the underlined word “decompress” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Play sports.B.Reduce stress.C. Be with the family.D. Improve oneself.31. The author puts family first, .A. for he doesn’t like his work muchB. so he often watches TV with themC. for a good family life does good to his overall lifeD. so he always expects to go home at work32. According to the author, we should to deal with stress.A. do much readingB. focus on our workC. keep a good moodD. do something activeDAre you a dog person or a cat person?With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online, it’s easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more. There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other. So, have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you?In fact, a 2010 study done by Sam Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas, US, and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted (外向的), agreeable(有礼貌的) and con- scientious (认真的) than cat people.“Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog magazine.Just on the basis of dogs’ nature being more sociable than cats’, you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability. And Gosling’s study found that dog people are generally about15 percent more extroverted and 13 percent more agreeable, both of which are linked with social orientation (态度).In addition, dog people are 11 percent more conscientious than cat people. “Conscientiousness” is a tendency (趋势) to show self-discipline (自律), to complete tasks and aim for achievement. This trait (特点) also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous (一时冲动的) behavior.In comparison, cat people are about 12 percent more anxious, but they are also 11 percent more “open” than dog people, due to a general appreciation for art, emotion, imagination, curiosity, adventure, unusual ideas and variety of experience. And people high on openness（率直的）are more likely to hold unconventional (非传统的) beliefs.Despite vast differences, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.33. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Differences between dogs and cats in their personality traits.B. Factors that influence people’s preference for dogs or cats.C. How raising a pet helps shape your personality.D. What your preference for dogs or cats tells about you.34. According to the study done by Sam Gosling, dog owners tend to ______ than cat owners.A. be more imaginative and creativeB. live a more organized lifeC. be more easygoing and adventurousD. love to get close to nature more35. According to the article, both dog people and cat people ______.A. are generally self-disciplinedB. like to wear animal-print clothingC. are likely to hold unconventional beliefsD. are usually positive and care about nature第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.Winston ChurchillIn 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke's most famous descendant. Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK's Prime Minister（some would say Britain's greatest 20th-century politician）and Nobel Prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908．A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.Opening Hours & AdmissionBlenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round（although the park is）. The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost £11.50 during the low season and £13 during the peak season（Easter weekend and from 28 May to 11 September）, or £6/£8 for the park and gardens only.The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm（last entry）. Admission is £2.50 for adults and £1.50 for children.Note that numerous discounts exist for seniors, students, children and groups. Please refer to the official website for more details.21．What can be learned, about Blenheim Palace? ________A．It is the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.B．It is the largest royal building in England.C．It is no w one of the world’s heritage sites.D．It was built in honor of Prime Minister Winston Churchill22．What does the underlined word in the text mean? ________A．A house keeper.B．A child or a child’s child.C．A family doctorD．A grand parent23．Why can not people visit Blenheim Palace all the year round? ________A．They are too busy to afford the time.B．Repairs are badly needed for the palace.C．Some seasons are not convenient for visitors.D．The 11th Duke of Marlborough still lives there.24．If a couple and their five-year-old daughter visits the park, how much need they pay? ________A．￡6.5.B．￡7.5.C．￡l1.5.D．￡13.BA group of Mississippi hunters who shot and killed an alligator（短吻鳄）weighting 910 pounds on Sunday, were amazed when they discovered that the animal already bore injuries caused by musket（步枪）from the Civil War era. A total of 9 bullets was found, and the various tests and analysis have confirmed that they were indeed fired at the animal in the 19th Century.Nine of the wounds on the animal are believed to have been caused by Enfield Pattern 1853 muskets. These old injuries were concentrated around the animals tail and hind legs, suggesting that the alligator could have possibly been used as a target for shooting practice by Confederate troops.The huge animal also bore five other bullet wounds from three different calibers（口径）of hunting guns, as well as many dents and scars, which shows that it survived many firearm injuries in the past. It did not however, survive the six 50-caliber bullets fired at him by the group of amateur hunters from Jackson, who were finally able to take it down.The bullets were confirmed as true musket from between 1850 and 1870. This incredible animal brings a whole new view on this large animal native to the southeastern United States. American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years, but this one was estimated to have been 185years old at the time of its death.Others like turtles, have been known, to have lifespans of over 150 years, but it is the first of crocodile of such an old age ever found. It is also one of the biggest alligators ever killed in the United States. The heaviest ever recorded, weighing in at an unbelievable 1,011．5lbs, was pulled out of a river in Alabama in August of this year. 25．Which of the following facts about the nine wounds is amazing? ________A．They didn’t cause death to the alligator.B．They were concentrated around the animals’ tail and hind leg s.C．They left many dents and scars on the alligator.D．They were left by musket from the Civil War era.26．What can be learned about American alligators? ________A．They have a lifespan of over 150 years.B．They can live as long as 70 or 80 years.C．They weigh as much as 910pounds on average.D．They are the biggest alligators of all.27．What can be inferred from the passage? ________A．People’s understanding of American alligators may be changed.B．Rivers in Alabama must be full of such huge alligators.C．American alligators are in danger of dying out.D．The six 50-caliber bullet is the most powerful one.CTwo sculptures of life-size lions, each weighing about 5 tons in ancient times, have been discovered in what is now Turkey. The discovery of the massive lions, along with other pieces such as a large stone basin about 7 feet in diameter, left the archaeologists with a mystery —what were they intended for?A search of the surrounding area revealed no evidence of a Hittite settlement dating back to the time of the statues. Also, the steep size of the sculptures meant that the sculptors likely did not intend to move them very far.Summers assumes that, rather than being meant for a palace or a great city, the lions were being created for a monument to mark something else- water“I think it's highly likely that that monument was going to be associated with one of the very abundant springs that are quite close.” he said in the interview. “There are good parallels（平行线）for association of Hittite sculptural tradi tions with water sources”Indeed one well-known monument site, known as Eflatun Pnar, holds a sacred pool that "is fed by a spring beneath the pool itself,” write Yiit Erbil and Alice Mouton in an article that was published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Near Eastern Studies. The two researchers were writing about water religions in ancient Anatolia（Turkey）.“According to the Hittite cuneiform（楔形文字）texts, water was seen as an effective purifying element,” Erbil and Mouton write, “used in the f orm of cleaning or even full baths during ritual performances, its cleaning power is self-evident.”To the Hittites the natural world, springs included, was a place of great religious importance, one worthy of monuments with giant lions. “These things（water sources）were sacred, just as their mountains were sacred,” Summers said.28．According to the text, how did the two life-size lions impress the archaeologists? ________A．Very massive.B．Well-constructed.C．Unbelievable.D．Mysterious.29．According to Summ ers’ assumption, why were the lions carved? ________A．They were intended to be moved far away.B．They were used as a monument in honor of their ancestor.C．They were created as a monument to mark water.D．They were built to mark their territory.30．What can be inferred from the text? ________A．Water was highly valued by the Hittites.B．There was a serious shortage of water in ancient Anatolia.C．Lions were of great religious importance.D．The Hittites used to fight over water resources.31．What would be the best title of the text? ________A．The Hittite cuneiform.B．What were the lions intended for?C．A confusing archaeological find.D．Digging up lions.DThe term “to extend an olive branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation（和好）. This term has Biblical origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark（方舟）by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor（比喻）for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very, hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it be an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modem era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.Many people agree that peace negotiations（谈判）at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.At some point m their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute orresolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.32．According to the Bible, ________A．an olive branch suggests flood is coming.B．the ark is made of olive tree wood.C．an olive branch means flood is over.D．a dove loves to settle on the olive branch.33．The olive is considered a good choice as a metaphor for peace for the following reasons EXCEPT ________ A．olive trees famously take years to mature.B．olive branches make people tired of war.C．war is typically very hard on the trees.D．people cannot take the time to nurture them while at war.34．Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modem times? ________A．Olive trees are being protected now.B．Olive tress are planted only in certain countries.C．Olive tress can be far to seek.D．There is no need to use real olive branches.35．It can be learned from the text that to extend an olive branch ________A．is not important on a personal level.B．is only important between nations.C．takes a lot of courage.D．is an important life skill m many cultures.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,选项中有两项多余选项.What is a fair wage? 36 These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organization(ILO) has recently investigated.With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount? 37 Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world the result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. 38This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. 39 Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levelsof affluence around the world. 40 Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach. A．The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.B．The ILO used statistics from over 70 different countriesC．Why aren't more people in the world offered pay equality?D．That is approximately $75a day for a 20-day working month.E．Some people live on just two dollars a day, while others are earning more than a million dollars a year. F．When someone works for themselves, what are they called?G．The data also did not include the huge number of people who appear in poverty statistics or who are self-employed.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）45．A．calls B．trips C．surveys D．contributions 46．A．cops B．doctors C．thieves D．officials 47．A．normally B．eventually C．actually D．finally 48．A．made up B．took up C．put up D．messed up 49．A．still B．even C．quite D．only 50．A．message B．secret C．story D．process 51．A．declined B．offered C．hesitated D．approved 52．A．license B．card C．paper D．ticket 53．A．spend B．leave C．take D．get 54．A．lent B．presented C．purchased D．rented 55．A．delighted B．annoyed C．disappointed D．amused 56．A．worth B．worthy C．personal D．special 57．A．moved B．changed C．turned D．appealed 58．A．honour B．respect C．alarm D．surprise 59．A．forgot B．threw C．left D．exposed 60．A．make B．achieve C．live D．realize第Ⅱ卷第三部分英语知识运用第四部分写作（共两节,满分35分）第一节:短文改错（10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均限一词.2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Dear Mike,How are you doing these days?Aimed at providing a platform there students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus books fair will soon held in our school.

The cheat usually asks you to remit money or transfer accounts. The following are some measures which, I think, may be of some help to you in preventing telecom fraud.First, don’t believe in the cheat. Whatever they say, don’t be fooled by them. Second, keep your personal information from others especially your ID number; otherwise you will easily fall to victim. Last but not the least, remember the saying “Money doesn’t grow on tree.” and be cautious about calls or short message from strangers.To conclude, if we raise awareness of self-protection, the cheats will never get anything.英语试卷解析23．D 细节理解题.根据倒数第三段第一句Blenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round (although the park is).可知因为第11代Marlborough公爵现在仍然居住在Blenheim Palace里面,所以Blenheim Palace并不是全年都开放.故D项正确.24．A 数字计算题.根据文章倒数第二段The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm (last entry). Admission is £2．50 for adults and £1．50 for children.可知公园门票成年人£2．50,孩子£1．50.题干中2个成年人再加上一个孩子,共￡6．5．故A正确.27．A 推理判断题.根据文章第四段最后一句American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years, but this one was estimated to have been 185years old at the time of its death.可知美国短吻鳄可以活到70-80年,但这只鳄鱼却活了185年.那么人们对于美洲短吻鳄的理解要有所改变.故A项正确.31．B 标题概括题.根据文章第一段Two sculptures of life-size lions,....left the archaeologists with a mystery ——what were they intended for?可知考古学家发现了两只巨大的石狮子,但他们不知道为什么会有如此巨大的两只石狮子.文章就此话题展开叙述.AC项范围过大,不贴近文章.D项只涉及部分内容.B项与文章主题一致,且能够引起读者的兴趣.故B项正确.34．C 推理判断题.根据第三段最后一句In the modem era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.可知现代人们通常使用橄榄枝表示隐喻,并且这种树还很难找到.故C项正确.35．C 根据文章最后一段Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.可知“伸出橄榄枝”经常被用来表示解决争端,但这样做需要勇气,因为人们首先要承认自己做错了事.故C项正确.37．A 据横线前句“With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount?”提出世界人口很多,可能测试出评价工资的准确数字吗?再根据横线后句“Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country.”可知人们已经算出了这一数字.横线句应该说明哪一个组织做了这项工作,故A项“The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.”符合题意.44．D 考查上下文串联.动词stay逗留;look看;walk步行;park停车;本句是作者的回忆,他记得自己前一天就是把车停在这里.动词park与the car语义项搭配.故D项正确.45．B 考查名词辨析.短语make trips to前往...;名词survey调查;contribution贡献;作者找不到车,认为警察把他的车拖走了,于是他前往拖车的地方,并去了警察局询问是否有警察拖走他的车.故B正确.46．A 考查上下文串联.根据后句I couldn’t find it anywhere and the cops decided th at it was....可知在拖车的地方没有我的车,我的车并不是警察拖走的.而是被偷了.名词“cops”是“policeman”的另一说法.故A正确. 47．C 考查副词辨析.副词normally正常地;eventually最后;actually实际上;finally最后;到处都找不到我的车,最后警察判定实际上我的车被偷了.故C项正确.48．D 考查动词短语.短语make up化妆,编造,弥补,组成;take up占据,从事于,开始做;put up搭建,留宿;mess up 搞砸,混乱;在我处理好这一切以后,我感觉这一天真是搞砸了.D项符合上下文.49．D 考查语法结构.副词only和不定式连用表示意料之外的结果.当我去租车的时候,发现我的驾照随着我的车都不见了.故D项正确.50. C 考查常识.名词message信息,secret秘密;story故事,情况;process过程;我的驾照随着车子都被偷走了,我就把整个事情告诉租车公司的人.这属于常识情况.故C项正确.56．A 考查形容词辨析.形容词worth值得的;worthy有价值的;personal个人的,私人的;special特别的;B项后面不能直接加名词,而worth后面可以直接加名词,如be worth 50yuan.本句表示虽然这一天遇见了很多不如意的事情,但这位陌生人的善意帮助让我感觉这一切都是值得的.故A项符合句意.57．A 考查上下文串联.动词move感动;这个陌生人的善意感动了我,我决定也要给别人带来类似的意料之外的惊喜,于是我给我的同事们带了巧克力.故A项符合上下文串联.64．was walking 考查时态.本句在叙述高中某一天正在发生的事情,所以使用过去进行时.65．being seen 考查动名词.介词at的后面要接名词或动名词做宾语,且动词see和主语I构成被动关系,所以使用动名词被动语态being seen做宾语.66．but 考查连词.句意:我感觉到他从身边经过,但他一直走到我的面前.我没有想到他会走到我的面前,上下文是转折关系,所以使用but连接这两句.67．my 考查所有格.横线后面有名词nerves,说明横线处应该使用所有格my修饰nerves.5．drawing改为drawn 考查非谓语动词.动词find的宾语myself与动词draw构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词drawn作为宾语补足语.句意:我发现我自己也被这次书会吸引了.6．type改为types 考查名词单复数.形容词短语“hundreds of成千上万的”通常修饰可数名词复数名词,所以本句使用复数名词types.。

No matter what kind of box it is, people like to open it up and see what's inside. In America, and in many other countries, one special kind of box contains the future. It's called a ballot（投票，选票）box. What people put into the box on Election Day can change the course of history.Elections are the lifeblood of a democracy. The word democracy literally means "the people rule"—an important concept in American history. In the mid-1700s, England began passing laws that made the American colonies angry. The colonists had to pay more and more taxes and enjoyed less and less freedom. They felt the government of England didn't represent their interests. On July 4, 1776, the colonies declared their independence from England. They wanted to establish a democracy where people could have a voice in government.An effective democracy holds regular elections. In America, every four years, voters go to thepolls to elect the nation's president and vice-president. Voters also regularly cast their ballots for state and city government leaders and local school board members. Sometimes they also have to vote on a proposed law.In the American electoral system, people don't really vote for presidential candidates. Instead, voters cast their ballots for "electors" who support each candidate. Each state has as many electors as the total number of its representatives in Congress. The candidate who has the most votes in a state wins all of the state's electors. To win the presidential election, a candidate must gain at least 270 of the 538 total electoral votes.Over the years, the U.S. has made a number of election reforms. Some early reforms outlawed （宣布……不合法）cheating, giving bribes and threatening voters. In 1870, black people gained the right to vote, and in 1920, that right was extended to women. In recent decades, laws against unfair rules for voting have been passed. In 1971, the voting age was lowered to 18. Other reforms made voting easier for the blind, the disabled and people who couldn't read. In some areas, ballots had to be printed in languages besides English.（1）What is the main idea of the passage?A American elections.B American democracy.C American election reforms.D A merican electoral systems.（2）Who don't people in America vote for regularly?A The president.B City government leaders.C Middle school headmasters.D Lo cal school board members.（3）Why did American colonies want to be independent?A Because the government of England represented their interests.B Because the govern ment of England didn't want to govern them.C Because they shared no freedom and dep endence but responsibility.D Because they wanted to have a voice in government.（4）What can we learn about American elections?A All Americans can cast their ballots on Election Day.B Elections are regularly held in t he United States.C A presidential candidate must gain less than half the votes.D In 1 870, American women gained the right to vote.四、（共1小题；每小题15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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15.
