Those who want to save moneyBTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”.I live my lifewith the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right”.I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment,whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety.It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships.We all know people“I love you“ or “I forgive you”.When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday,I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here.But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “ if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing.I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.6.Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.D.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.7.The author decided to go to her office on Good FridayA.meet her father who was already an old man.。

ACollege is not just about studying, writing essays and burning the midnight oil in the library. Making friends and enjoying yourself is also necessary for the courses. Parties are social events for students to gather and chat with each other.Now let's follow a foreign friend to see what parties in the US are like. Get some inspiration to have fun with your friends in your new life.Drinking and music College parties in the US are always lacking in creativity and full of wine and music. The basic form rarely changes — drink until you cannot anymore and play loud music at an earth-shaking volume. There is plenty of beer involved, and some mixed cocktails.Creativity in dress The creativity comes in how parties are dressed up. Parties often have a specific theme, like a 90s party or a sports party. At a 90s party, guests might show up dressed like once-famous celebrities. At a sports party, guests might wear their favorite team's uniforms.Held in apartments The party is usually held in the apartment of a particular outgoing friend. Everyone will be invited, which means strangers will wander in andout of the apartment where you can get to know and make some new friends.Ugly sweater party On holidays, parties frequently take on a proper theme. Apopular theme around Christmas is the ugly sweater party. The goal is to wear theugliest sweater you can find, creating an atmosphere of fun.Whatever the occasion is, there will be no shortage of booze. If you are smartenough, you won't have so much as to lose your consciousness. Parties are always betterwhen you can remember them the next day.1. This passage introduces .A. what to wear at the US college partiesB. how much to drink at the UScollege partiesC. how to make friends at the US collegesD. parties of the US colleges2. The passage is probably written for in colleges.A. the freshmenB. the party loversC. the graduatesD. the excellent students3. The author attaches importance to at the parties in colleges.A. creativity arising from inspirationB. drinking to your heart'scontentC. communication combined with funD. dressing in a fancy style4. What does the underlined word "booze" in the last paragraph mean?A. Juice.B. Alcohol.C. Food.D. Music.BAt times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example,when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother forthe summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how thingswere different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away frommy grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airportuntil she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, shecontinued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficultfor her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once againI found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close tohome, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.5.When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother .A. wanted to go with himB. worried about his safetyC. didn’t allow him to goD. asked his grandmother for advice6.The author decided to move away for college to .A. be different from his peersB. keep away from his motherC. be independent in outside worldD. make his mother unhappy7.We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother .A. had a high expectation from himB. was too strict with himC. used to expect nothing from himD. cared little about his learning8.In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us .A. his long way to becoming independentB. his good relationship with his motherC. his mother’s deep love for himD. the importance of a mother’s trust and supportCSay you're in the supermarket parking lot,holding your baby,bags of goods,and trying to open your car. A stranger walks up and says,“ Here,let me hold your baby.” Should you let him?According to a new New York University study,knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know it's there. The researchers knew from previous studies that peopleare fairly similar when it comes to how they judge a face's trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick moment—an amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.To carry out their study,the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each. Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects,who saw them for much longer. In those earlier tests,people agreed about whether to trust each face. In this new study,fascinatingly,different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy one—and it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious (可疑的).“ Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala,so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to people—approach or avoid,” says Jon Freeman,the study's senior author. “Our talents for making instant judgments could either come from birth or be learned from the social environment.”So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows. 9.What is Paragraph 1 used to?A.To summarize the whole passage. B.To make the passage more interesting.C.To introduce the topic of the passage. D.To warn people to guard against strangers.10.The amygdala lit up more clearly when people ________.A.came across a neutral face mask B.saw an untrustworthy faceC.met a reliable person D.saw a familiar face11.What can we infer from Freeman's words?A.Brain processes cannot be changed. B.The amygdala tracks only faces of bad men.C.The amygdala decides the accuracy of judgments.D.The ability of making fast judgments can be acquired.12.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Is facial trustworthiness reliable?B.You can judge a person even without being aware of itC.Your brain decides whether to trust people in millisecondsD.Can the amygdala reveal how people make automatic judgments?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。

2017-2018学年第1学期高二英语期中考试题(笔试答题时间120分钟,满分135分;)第I卷第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节:话题语篇(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AHummingbirds (蜂鸟) are very small birds. This small bird is quite an acrobat (杂技演员). Only a few birds, such as kingfishers and sunbirds, can hover, which means to stay in one place in the air. But no other bird can match the flying skills of the hummingbird. The hummingbird can hover, fly backward and fly upside down!Hummingbirds got their name because their wings move very quickly when they fly. This causes a humming sound. Their wings move so fast that you can’t see them at all. This takes a lot of energy. These little birds must have food about every 20 minutes to have enough strength to fly. Their favorite food is nectar (花蜜). Nectar is the sweet water deep inside a flower. Hummingbirds use their long, thin bills to drink from flowers. When a hummingbird drinks nectar, it hovers in front of a flower. It never touches the flower with its wings or feet.Of all the birds in the world, the hummingbird’s colors are among the brightest. Some are bright green with red and white markings. Some are purple. One kind of hummingbird can change its color from reddish-brown to purple to red!The hummingbird’s nest is special, too. It looks like a small cup. The inside of the nest is very soft. This is because one of the things the mother bird uses to build the nest is the silk from a spider’s web (蜘蛛网).1. What is special about hummingbirds?A. They are the only birds that can hover.B. They have excellent flying skills.C. They can walk on water.D. They can fly very high.2. Hummingbirds got their name from _____.A. theirfoodB. their small bodiesC. the sound they makeD. the color of their wings3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Hummingbirds’ markings are dark.B. A kind of hummingbird has one color.C. The hummingbird is one of the prettiest birds.D. Some hummingbirds change their colors for protection.4. According to the text, a hummingbird’s nest is _____.A. difficult to findB. hard and strongC. made by the father birdD. built partly from spider silkBWe just love giving cards in Britain. If there’s a special occasion coming up, there’s no doubt that we’ll be there, card in hand, to celebrate it.And this isn’t just for birthdays; we also give cards when people are ill or when they have got a new job. And even if you forgot somebody’s birthday, there are even “sorry it’s late” cards.So you can pretty much find a card for any occasion.Before coming to Italy I had never even considered that our love for card giving might not be shared by other countries. In fact, my workmates told me that hardly anyone sends Christmas cards in Italy and that they actually don’t really give birthday cards either! Unbelievable! In the UK, if a close friend or family member didn’t get me a card I’d feel upset! However, the only place you can buy cards in Italy is in a shop which sells school things. In comparison, we have whole shops that sell them in the UK and we even have different types of card shops.Although cards can take up your time, from choosing the perfect one, to thinking up the perso nal message inside, I think it’s a really nice gesture. And especially with Christmas cards, it adds to that festive feeling. When I sit down to write countless cards to friends and family, I get that little bit happier that it willbe Christmas soon! Especially when I see my own Christmas cards, proudly sitting on my desk wishing me a very merry Christmas.Of course, the problem comes when they’re no longer needed, when Christmas is over. It makes me sad just to throw them all away, so I try and hang on to my favorite ones.5. According to Paragraph 1, in the UK card giving _____.A. is very popularB. is changing people’s livesC. is mainly carried out on birthdaysD. is more common between family members6. After arriving in Italy, the author found that _____.A. Italians seldom send cardsB. cards are sold in card shopsC. the relationship between people is badD. card giving is losing its attraction slowly7. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Self-made cards make Christmas happy.B. Gi ving cards doesn’t take up any time.C. Throwing cards away is a bad gesture.D. There is no need to save every card.8. What’s the author’s attitude towards card giving?A. He supports it.B. He doubts it.C. He disagrees with it.D. He is uninterested in it.CPeople are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed —or did they? Here are just a few famous mythical (传说中的) cities.El Dorado。

AYou're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them. ”Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.◆Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most competent (有能力的)person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.◆What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful;no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.◆No one else looks concerned—this must not be a problem. We can follow thepeople around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and assess the situation instead of walking on,”says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, …It looks like we should do something.‟ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one.

But we end up going back to procrastinating(拖延)on whatever it was we were procrastinating on. So is it worthwhile to read these inspirational quotes? Well, that depends.Quote s, books, articles, audio programs… all of these things are just tools and they‟re only effective when you use them. I don‟t know about you but most quotes I read don‟t do anything for me. However, every now and then, I will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough.From my experience, reading quotes is more effective when you‟re actuall y trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them. The second you feel the urge to take action, you‟d better immediately get up off your chair and take action.These quotes aren‟t for everyone. If you have read tons o f them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes don‟t help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then it‟s probably not worth while to read more of them. If you have done something a bunch of times and it‟s not giving you the results you want, don‟t keep doing it. Try something else.Now if you‟ve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life.11. What attitude does the author have towards most quotes he has read?A. Negative.B. Grateful.C. Doubtful.D. Interested12. What does the author‟s wife expect him to do?A. To be grateful for life.B. To exercise at the gymC. To do extra work at homeD. To read more inspiring quotes13. For whom will the quotes be effective according to the author?A. Those who understand them thoroughly.B. Those who lack practical tools in life.C. Those who have no one to turn to for help.D. Those who take immediate action after reading them.14. What is implied in Paragraph 4?A. Some quotes may have a bad influence on people.B. You shouldn‟t waste time on the things you don‟t like.C. Many ways can motivate you besides reading inspiring quotes.D. You‟d better keep away from a quote if it doesn‟t benefit you.15. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To persuade people not to waste time on quotes.B. to explain how to make inspiring quotes effective.C. to encourage people to read more inspiring quotes.D. to give people advice on how to choose useful quotes.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。
