AOne day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life moreterrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.21. When the author damaged the door, his parents __________.A. gave him a spankingB. left the door unrepairedC. scolded him for what he had doneD. told him how expensive it was22. The underlined word “remorse” in paragraph 1 most probably means _________.A. regretB. hurtC. feelD. notice23. The experience may cause the author ___________.A. to hide his anger away from othersB. not to go against his parents’ willC. to have a better control of himselfD. not to make mistakes in the future24. What is the main idea of this text?A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.C. What is the best way to become a more patient person.D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.BWhen you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture (建筑学) and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers．And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer.●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;●Listen to the music of Debussy, or more con temporary (当代的) artists likeAir and Daft Punk.France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;●Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;●The post—modern housing development, Marne—la—Vallee.History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D—Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of world War II．As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.25. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?A. Few students choose to study in France.B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.C. Students from China are usually treated badly.D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.26. What can art students do on weekends?A. Enjoy Voltaire’s music.B. Listen to Proust’s music.C. Read Renoir’s literary works.D. View Monet’s works in the Louvre.27. According to the text, you can see many kinds of architecture in France, suchas_____.① post—modem housing development ② Bar oque style buildings③ the Big Ben ④ Gothic architectureA. ①②③B.①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④28. The text is most likely taken from______.A. a study abroad websiteB. an architecture advertisementC. a history bookD. a fashion magazineCYou may think the days of childhood would rank as most people’s happiest. But, in fact, men are happiest at 40 while women are most satisfied at 38 when they are fit and healthy and have good friends.A survey showed that the best moments in life are the birth of a first child, your wedding day and the birth of grandchildren.The research involved (涉及) questioning 1000 people aged 70 or older. They were asked about their happiest moments and their biggest regrets in life. More than half the people questioned said they had no regrets in life, but the most common regrets were choosing the wrong career and not running after lifelong dreams.Other happy moments to make the top ten included the day you retire, moving into a new home, seeing your child’s first steps and meeting the man or woman of your dreams.One in ten of those with regrets wished they had worked harder in school and seven per cent regretted not travelling the world more. The other two to make the top five regrets were getting divorced and getting married too soon.The top piece of advice the researchers offered to younger generations was to never take the people you love for granted. Other top pearls of wisdom were “believe in yourself”, “nothing worth having comes easy” and “don’t hold grudges (怨恨)”.Matthew Gledhill, who took part in the survey, said: “The message from those with the most life experience is that the key to happiness is to worry less and live inthe moment with the people you care about most. As much as people look to the future and try to climb career ladders, our research clearly shows that happiness is linked much more heavily to relationships, friends and family than social status.”29. According to the survey, which of the following is the best moment in life?A. The day you retire.B. Seeing your child’s first steps.C. The birth of a first child.D. Meeting the people of your dreams.30. Among people who had regrets, most thought that _________.A. they had got married too soonB. they hadn’t travelled the world enoughC. they hadn’t worked hard enough in schoolD. they had chosen the wrong career31. The underlined words in the sixth paragraph refer to _________.A. the biggest regretsB. useful and wise tipsC. the happiest momentsD. a list of don’tsDA handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer(平常的) colleague (同事) but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible (矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.”He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour tohighly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics (化妆品) company, told the Sunday Times: “It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist (以貌取人的) ” and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remov e their prejudice (偏见).32. What has the research found?A. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs.B. Appearance plays an important role at work.C. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance.D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is.33. What is Andrew Leigh’s opinion?A. Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers.B. Good-looking females are likely to earn more.C. Employers have prejudice in employing workers.D. More attention is paid to appearance now than before.34. We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ______.A. earn 26% less than handsome menB. earn 26% less than average-looking menC. earn as much as average-looking menD. earn 22% less than average-looking men35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Good-looking men are more likely to earn more.B. Men and women should be treated equally in interviews.C. People should pay more attention to their appearance.D. Beautiful female interviewees aren’t popular in inter views.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。

The more he talked about the opportunity, the more interested I became. I left class thinking I might actually do it.My immediate excitement gave in to excuses as the weeks passed. The trip would be expensive, I would have less time to spend with my family over winter break, and I hadn’t really traveled before. Most of all, I was terrif ied of taking the risk.On the day I made my decision, I suddenly felt as if I had finally opened my eyes and seen myself clearly. Why was I so scared to take this chance? I had moved awayfrom home, almost graduated college and overcome plenty of small-scale fears. How could I let fear get in the way of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Besides, I had always dreamed of traveling the world and studying abroad was a major point on my bucket list(人生目标清单).So I took the challenge. I was scared yet excited on the plane, but my fears faded as soon as the wheels touched the runway. I soon found myself immersed(沉浸) in ancient, ornate(华丽的) mountain-top temples. I spent my days teaching poor orphans simple English, learned a little Khmer myself and became an expert at avoiding terrible traffic and bargaining with Cambodian store owners. By the end of my stay, I had fallen in love with travel, exploration and a life of daily wonders.My experience in Cambodia was incredible and life-changing. I came back a different person, but a better one: a better friend, sister, daughter, girlfriend and student.I came back a grown woman instead of a young girl.After Cambodia, my life clicked into place(步入正轨). Before the trip, I hadn’t known what I wanted to do after graduation. Now I am planning on teaching English abroad as a volunteer. I am still amazed by my experience and thankful for everything it taught me. I now have a passion for conquering(征服) fears, big or small, and havea renewed faith in myself.4.The author’s exciteme nt to go to Cambodia faded(消退) mainly because _________.A. she could not afford the expensive tripB. she had no experience of traveling abroadC. she was scared of the risk she would be takingD. she preferred spending time with her family to traveling5.How did the author decide to go to Cambodia in the end?A. She had a heart-to-heart talk with her familyB. She thought about what might have made her scaredC. She went through every item she had put on her bucket listD. She realized the challenges and fears she had overcome before6.What did the author do in Cambodia?A. She taught KhmerB. She studied EnglishC. She helped local children with EnglishD. She studied traffic problems7.What did the author think of her stay in Cambodia?A. It was relaxing and refreshingB. It gave her a better idea of herselfC. It improved her communication skillsD. It led her to offer her help to volunteer servicesCLondon—A morning's train ride away, across the Channel(英吉利海峡), English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival (竞争) cities, London and Paris, in " A Tale of Two Cities". These days, it might be A Tale of One City.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English. As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London," she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property (地产)."Both cities have changed beyond recognition." Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s and it is still a wonderful place," Collins said. "But if I had to choose, itwould be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured," she said. "In London, you can be who you want. No one cares."8.The best title for this message is ____________________.A. Londoner andParisiansB. A Modern Tale of Two CitiesC. The Similarity of TwoCities D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris9. We can infer from the passage that ______________.A. Paris and London has become perfect partnersB. London feels more full of lifeC. Life in Paris isstructuredD. Paris and London have become fierce competitors10. The underlined word "flocked " probably means __________________.A. came in largenumbersB. flew a long wayC. rushedhurriedlyD. drove long distances11. Living in Paris, you may find ________.A. life is betterB. things are cheaperC. more attractive peopleD. a job easilyDWrist(手腕) watches are regarded as a tool to tell the time. At first, watcheswere created as women's decorative bracelets (手镯). At the same time, men used pocket watches. The first men's wrist watch was available in 1904. A pilot called AlbertoSantos-Dumont personally asked a watchmaker to create a wrist watch to use on flights.Soon after that, men's wrist watches were available on the market. Since then, watcheshave been considered fashionable accessories(配饰) for men, and watchmakers havestarted to make men's fashion watches.At present, watches are not indispensable totell the time for most people have cell phones which have watch functions. But a newmarket has been created for wrist watches, which are not only used to tell the time,but also as important fashion statement pieces.Generally speaking, watches for formal occasions are beautifully made and more like pieces of jewelry than watches. Men'swatches for informal and semi-formal events include simple, slim designs andlarge-and-thick-sized styles. Nowadays, men usually don't follow any specific styleof dress for watches, and the luxury brands of the expensive and strongly made sportswatches have made them believe that they look more stylish because of their high prices.Some of the fashion watches have a diamond and some others are completely decoratedwith precious stones such as diamonds.Men's watches also have many advanced functions.For example, the dual-time watches for travelers make them know the time in most othercountries as well as the time in their home if they are abroad.In a word, a men'swatch is one of the few accessories for men's cupboard. Men can choose their mostsuitable watches to go with their personal taste.12.According to the first paragraph, the first men's wrist watch _________.A. was used by a pilot onflights B. was not only atool to tell the timeC. was viewed as a symbol offashion D. was created as a decorativebracelet13. What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. necessaryB. usefulC. dependableD.popular14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Men's pocket watches came after men's wrist watches.B. Those touring abroad will find a dual-time watch useful.C. Watches withadvanced functions are always expensive.D. Men's watches for informal occasions appear like jewels.15.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. The Brief History of Men'sWatches B. Advanced Functions of Men's WatchesC. Men's Watches—Fashion Statement Pieces D. How to Choose a Stylish Men's Watch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。

Memoirs of a wildlife biologist.BNisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But she’s afraid she won’t be able to stay safe. That’s because she isn’t able to smell.Back home, her fam ily do her smelling for her. She’s moved in with them for now, but she’s looking for a place of her own. “Now that I’m searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,” Prad han says.She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food.“One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smell problem is that food doesn’t taste right any more,” says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. That’s because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often rely on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavors changed and reduced,” Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What you’re missing are the small distinctions.”“When I go out to eat I have often found that food is very tasteless to me. I never feel full,” she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend to be food lovers and we all like to talk about ‘Oh, I think this could use a little bit more flavor,’ or ‘I think this has a hint of meat,’ I can’t really participate in those conversations,” she says.Pradhan thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhan may be on to something, acc ording to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesn’t come And that means no new smell memory gets created.”4.What is true about Pradhan?A. She has had no sense of smell since she was born.B. She suffers from loss of appetite through lack of smell sense.C. She has something wrong with her stomach.D. She is looking for a roommate to share the cost.5. What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.B. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.C. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.6. When eating out, Pradhan ________.A. feels left out sometimesB. often has a good appetiteC. pretends to have good smell senseD. has a sense of being full quickly7. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Pradhan may be right.B. Pradhan may be foolish.C. Pradhan may be crazy.D. Pradhan may be forgettable.CMany people spend more than four hours per day on We Chat, and it is redefining the word “friend.” Does friending someone on social media make him or her y our friend in real life?Robin Dunbar, a professor at Oxford University, found that only 15, of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has, could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends. We Chat may show a similar pattern.Those with whom you attended a course together, applied for the same part-time job, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends. In chat records, the only message may be a system notice, “You have accepted somebody’s friend request”. Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”, you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends. Also, you may be disturbed by mass messages (群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends, links from (a Chinese e-commerce platform that allows users to buy items at lower prices if they purchase in groups) and cookie-cutter (千篇一律的) blessings in holidays.You would have thought about deleting this ty pe of “friends” and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found that you have unfriended them already. Then, you keep increasing your “friends” in socialmedia and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested. But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends in social media.If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships can be tough to you, and sometimes even will make you anxious. According to Robin Dunbar, 150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.8. What can we learn from Robin Dunbar's finding in Paragraph 2?A. A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.B. Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.C. Among our social media friends, only a few people matter.D.

Though the film already got generally positive reviews at this yea r’s Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot Twitter debate around whether it could be harmful for those with eating disorders.Critics of the film have focused on the leading role Ellen: a young, thin, white woman with anorexia. They think there’re som e plots that have made eating disorders look like trends instead of life-threatening illnesses. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anorexia has the highest mortality rate (死亡率) of any mental illness. Thirty million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their lives.Director Marti Noxon based the film on her own battle with anorexia. She was aware of the film’s potential to trigger harmful effects and then tried to be really careful in the way she showed how Ellen looke d. “You want to help other people understand something that they’ve never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen and to give people hope,” she added. “We were balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionist quality of anorexics is their most obvious character.”The film caught the attention of Liana Rosenman, who founded Project Heal, an organization that helps eating disorder sufferers afford treatment. “I thought it was very powerful,” Rosenman said. “There is a sense of humor and wittiness in it as well as just understanding what it’s like to have an eating disorder.” Project Heal recently played To the Bone in New York and Los Angeles, but it has faced sharp criticism from members of their community on social media.12.What do we know about the film To the Bone from Paragraph 1?A.

Medical magazine.B. Healthy Life Style magazine.C. A film review.D. A newspaper report.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。
广东省梅州市蕉岭县蕉岭中学高一下学期第二次质量检测英语试题
第I卷第一部分阅读理解（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（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt. They were hunting a lot of their food, and eating a lot of red meat. Red meat has plenty of salt in it, and naturally, people at that time didn’t have to go and find extra salt. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and very little meat. Then they really needed another way to get salt. People sprinkled(洒) salt on different kinds of food, because there were no refrigerators.The earliest evidence we have for people producing salt comes from northern China, where people seem to have been harvesting salt from a salt lake by 6,000 BC and maybe earlier.By about 4,500 BC, Central Asian people along the shores of the Caspian Sea were mining rock salt underground. This is the earliest known salt mine in the world.By 800 BC, Chinese written records tell us that people in China were producing salt by boiling ocean salt water until the salt was left. About the same time, in Europe, the Indo-European Celts(凯尔特人) were mining salt underground in modern Austria, Hungary, southern Germany and Poland.By 252 BC, a Chinese governor named Li Bing also worked out how to mine salt. Men dug deep wells down to where there were natural underground salt water pools, and took the salty water out.Because everyone needed salt, but only a few people could produce it, salt was something everybody bought. Governments, therefore, began to tax it to raise a lot of money. Both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, in China, got a lot of their money from the salt trade. About 1,000 AD, businessmen brought salt across the desert on the backs of the camels. The businessmen used the salt to buy slaves and goods from West Africa. Then they forced the slaves to mine even more salt.1. People in the Stone Age didn’t have to find salt because ______.A. they couldn’t adapt to (适应) the taste of saltB. they didn’t know how to preserve foodC. they ate lots of red meat which contains saltD. they gave meat to others in exchange for (交换) salt2. According to the passage, how did the Central Asian people get salt?A. By boiling ocean salt water.B. By mining rock salt underground.C. By harvesting salt from a salt lake.D. By taking salt water from salt water pools.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Many people couldn’t afford to buy salt.B. Salt once functioned as money in ancient times.C. West Africa learned how to mine salt from China.D. Salt was the main source of economy in the Tang Dynasty.BA group of swimmers has described how a group of dolphins protected them from a group of white sharks （食人鲨）off the coast of New Zealand. The lifeguards were on a training swim when they came across a group of great white sharks before the dolphins raced in to help.The swimmers were surrounded by the dolphins for forty minutes before they were able to make them safety back to the beach. It was an uncomfortable experience as they were circled by a group of white sharks, which came within a couple of meters of them. Lifeguard Rob Howes was in the water with a colleague and his teenage daughter. He said around half a dozen dolphins suddenly appeared and forced them to gather together. The mammals swam in tight circles to create a protective wall between the white sharks and the lifeguards as the great white sharks were under the surface.The swimmers said the dolphins were extremely upset and repeatedly slapped (拍打) the water with their tails as if to try to prevent the white sharks from attacking them. It’s a day they’ll never forget, especially for one who was on her first day as a volunteer. They have no doubt that the dolphins acted on purpose to protect them. Researchers have said that they’re not surprised. A marine biologist insisted that dolphins, which are considered to be one of the most intelligent mammals, “like to help the helpless.”4. How many swimmers are attacked by the white sharks?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.5. It seemed that the dolphins slapped the water with their tails to ____.A. attack the white sharks and the lifeguardsB. play with water together for pleasureC. stop the lifeguards being harmed by the sharksD. attract the white sharks to kill the lifeguards6. The underlined words “a volunteer” refers to____.A. a lifeguardB. Rob Howes’s workmateC. Rob HowesD. Rob Howes’s daughter7. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Dolphins Protect Swimmers from SharksB. Sharks Protect Swimmers from DolphinsC. Lifeguards Protect Dolphins from SharksD. Lifeguards Protect Sharks from DolphinsCIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.8. What does the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman pu zzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.10. The underlined word “intimidated” in the third paragraphprobably means “___________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited11. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing MomentDJames Brown is a doctor from Washington, D.C. He is now 50 years old. He is explaining the reasons why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was quite burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge(恢复精力)”. So he took a “gap year(间隔年)”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, antique restoration, archaeology and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Rome.“Taking a rest from work is an wonderful way for adults to go into a new career(事业) or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of the Center for Interim Programs in Princeton, N.J., which sets up gap-year programs. The group works mainly with college-age students, but it has also served older adults since it was formed 28 years ago. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential(潜在的) American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Brown,who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “reassured(再次确保) the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Brown, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Brown. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing(投资) in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.12. Dr. Brown took a gap year because he ______.A. gave up his old jobB. felt tired after 26 years’ workC. wanted to travel very muchD. became interested in historical research13. After the gap year, Dr. Brown ______.A. became more considerate in his job.B. regretted taking a “gap year”C. was eager to explore ancient buildingsD. improved his speaking ability14. What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “gap year”?A. Positive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.15. What’s the passage mainly about?A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.A long time ago, in England, some judges（法官） used to decide whether a person was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread.

This was the best time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before midnight. It looked like it was going to be a good day.Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals on the roadside but he knew then this was something different. He slammed on his brakes and the truck screeched to a halt.The lump was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldn’t move, so he picked her up and carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn’t be run over there.Now she was someone else’s problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by midnight and didn’t have time to be a here. He c limbed back into his truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he knew he couldn’t leave her. Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.An hour later he pulled up at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave, only for the policeman to say that he needed to make a report. Daryl knew thiswould take several hours, but he had no choice. There was no way he’d get to Los Angeles on time now.Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from hunger, but could remember nothing else. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been happy to help, but as he got back into his truck he knew his boss wouldn’t be.Just as he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. “Have you seen?” she said, “A bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los Angeles.”Daryl’s blood run cold.

If you have, then you’re not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated(驯养) by humans. They came into lives some 15000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolf and some scientists think could be dogs.With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It’s even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice-fields evolved from Asian wolves, not American ones.Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.But why were the animals domesticated in the first place? The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three -quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.28.Which is the only statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs?A.They originally were used as farm animalB.They evolved from wolves found in EuropeC.They helped the development of agricultureD.They were the first animal to be kept as pets29.Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old animals skulls?A.To show that dogs were much larger in the pastB.To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolvesC.To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlierD.To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium30.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?A.By analyzing the age of their bonesB.B. By examine the animals’ DNAC.By studying the shape of their skullsD.D. By comparing them with modern dogs31.Why did dogs start living with humans?A.Because they were attracted by foodB.B. Because they were trapped by humansC.Because they couldn’t survive in the wildD.D. Because they were trained to protect villagesDSpace is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星) but also because of rays from the sun and others stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage --- a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her physical organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flight have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short.We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.32.According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ________A. it provides enough light for plant growth.B. it protects man against the harmful rays from space.C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival.D. it screens off the falling meteors.33. Why is it difficult to identify space radiation damage?A.The effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming.B. Tiny amounts of radiation do no harm to human body.C. Only more than 60 rems of radiation can be discovered immediately.D. Astronauts in spacesuits won’t be hurt by radiation.34. It can be inferred from the passage that _______A. the Apollo mission was very successful.B. astronauts will have disabled children or grandchildren.C. protection from space radiation is no easy job.D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers.35. The best title for this passage would be ______.A. The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB. Research on RadiationC. Importance of Protection Against RadiationD. Effects of Space Radiation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。

As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all beengifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.25. One day, the wise man saw the young man ______.A. dancing along the beachB. walking with a dancerC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfish as possible26. The underlined words “something very special” refers to ______.A. the gifts from friendsB. the strength of making a decisionC. our own starfishD. the ability of shaping one’s own future27. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ______.A. the wise man realized something new and importantB. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish in the oceanC. the young man had the ability to make a differenceD. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach28. The writer told this story in order to show us ______.A. how and where we can write a good articleB. everyone can do something for the futureC. wise men are sometimes stupidD. young people are actually wiser than old peopleCLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart()疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance（表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll lis ten to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they h ad been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel and listening is the key factor to communication.29. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestin gD. more interesting30. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of communicationD. the disagreement between generations31. The example in this passage proves that ___________.A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding32. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them knowB. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to communicate, walk awayD. Communication is a two-way dealDGood health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, d rink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink,that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.33. According to the author, ________ our biggest enemies of health.A.too much drinking isB. too much smoking isC. eating too much isD. we ourselves are34. “I can’t help myself” means ____________.A. I can’t do it myselfB. I must ask someone to helpC. I can’t control myselfD. do help me, please35. This passage mainly tells us________.A. terrible diseases and so onB. to enjoy pleasures after a busy dayC. the difficulty of controlling ourselvesD. that we should control ourselves to keep healthy第二节（共5小题；毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
