There is one particu-lar story that he always told with great delightIn his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. Dur-ing one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to Lincoln. Lin-coln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pencil knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.Lincoln's eyes always sparkled when he reached this part of the story. The story always brought smiles to the faces of those who heard it. The tale itself was funny. But even more delightful was the fact that a man as great as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.73. This passage is about ____________.A. a stranger and his knifeB. Lincoln's favourite storyC. meeting strangers on a trainD. Lincoln's favourite pencil knife74. Lincoln was given the pencil knife for ____________.A. his appearanceB. a good laughC. being a lawyerD. being good-humored75. What do you think happened to the knife eventually?A. Lincoln accepted it and kept it.B. Lincoln refused it and the stranger kept it.C. Lincoln accepted it but immediately threw it away.D. Lincoln refused it and the stranger threw it away.DA recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections（反对）, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact（影响）on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.76. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B. People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.77. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.78. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because ________.A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science79. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A – F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.E80.The cost of transporting water is determined largely by how far it has to be carried and how high it has to be lifted. Growing cities and towns may have to go hundreds of kilometers to find the water needed to satisfy their increasing thirst. California cities have long imported water from hundreds of kilometers away. And China is constructing three canals that are 1,156 kilometers, 1,267 kilometers, and 260 kilometers long to transfer water from the Yangtze River to Beijing and other rapidly growing areas in the northern provinces.81.Pumping water out of the ground or over land to higher elevations is energy-intensive. Pumping 480 cubic meters of water a height of 100 meters requires some 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity. At a price of 10¢ per kilowatt-hour, the cost is $20—not including the cost of the pump, the well, and the piping. One hundred meters is not an unusual lift for wells tapping falling supplies of groundwater. In Beijing and other areas in northern China, for instance, lifts of 1,000 meters are sometimes required.82.In most places water is not purchased or exchanged in a market. But formal water markets are developing in the western United States, Australia, and Chile. Where these water markets do exist, they provide examples of how high the scarcity value of the water—that is, the amount that other potential users would be willing to pay for it—can be. Water prices in Australia’s markets peaked at near 75¢ per cubic meter in December 2006, climbing 20-fold in a year in part due to prolonged drought. In the U.S. West, water prices typically range between 3 cents and 10 cents per cubic meter.83.In India, water scarcity has prompted some farmers to profit by selling their water instead of farming. The water they formerly used to irrigate their crops is instead pumped from their wells and trucked to nearby cities. The farmers are harvesting water rather than food and at the same time promoting a rapid drop in underground water tables.84.Another factor affecting how much people pay for water is the amount it is subsidized（补助）. Water subsidies can be very large. For instance, water revenues in the city of Delhi are less than 20 percent of what it spends each year to provide water. On average worldwide, nearly 40 percent of municipal suppliers do not charge enough for water to meet their basic operation and maintenance costs.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I. Translation （20%）1. 你每天做的事会对你的未来产生影响。

高二第一学期期末英语模拟考试英语试题第二局部阅读理解(共两节，总分为40分)第一节 (共15小题;每一小题2分，总分为30分)AIn 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe〞 appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe〞,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during Augustitself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 differentgroups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.21. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning?A. To bring Europe together again.B. To honor heroes of World War 11.C. To introduce young theater groups.D. To attract great artists from Europe.22. Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A. They owned a public house there.B. They came to take up a challenge.C.

For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs;a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lostabout I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.28．What does the text mainly discuss?A．Pets’ value in medical research. B．How pets help people calm down.C．People's opinions of keeping pets. D．What pets bring to their owners.29．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if．A．he has a pet companion B．he has less stress of workC．he often does mental arithmetic D．he is taken care of by his family30．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks?

D．They are in higher spirits.31．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that．A．people with dogs did more exerciseB．dogs lost the same weight as people didC．dogs liked exercise much more than people didD．people without dogs found the program unhelpfulDDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all.I was lucky: ] became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listenand speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot .He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up〞.32.What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are unwilling to take advice.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are quick learners of CRM.33.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.A. he saved the plane by speaking upB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. his boss operated on a patient34.In the last paragraph〞landing gear up〞 probably means ______.A.following flying requirements.B.overreacting to different opinions.C.listening to what fellow doctors sayD.making a mistake that may cost lives35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying SafeB.Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC.The Making of a Good PilotD.A Pilot-Turned Doctor第二节(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

I had some 18 in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would 19 use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol. He 20 like that type-young and ragged（衣衫褴褛的）. 21 what was I going to spend the money on? Only to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then 22 I had no right to place myself above 23 just because he was busking.I 24 and dropped all the coins into his 25 , and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As 26 as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—a feeling of 27 or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened 28 , I walked off. ―It proved to be a waste of 29 ,‖I thought.On my way home at the end of the 30, I saw the busker again and he was 31 .

AIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conve rsations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ‖Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.‖I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smileSeveral months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,‖Oh that bus left five minutes ago.‖ Dreams of head-cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way.A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ‖ Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.‖ Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.36.In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ____.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. describe a sceneD. offer an argument37.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ___.A. friendlyB. warm-heartedC. not considerateD. not helpful38.From ―Dreams of head-cutting!‖(Paragraph3),we learn that the writer___.A. was mad at the sales agentB. was reminded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night39. What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.BWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. Y ou can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.Room 1The celebrity（名人）footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities' choice of footwear extremely interesting.Room 2Most of our visitors are amazed and shocked by the collection of ―special purpose‖shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example , there are Chinese shoes made ofSilk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!Room 3As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example , there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that like legs!The footwear LibraryPeople come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up Information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.40. Where would you find a famous singer's shoes?A. Room1.B. Room 2.C. Room3.D. The Footwear Library41. All exhibits in each room .A. share the same themeB. have the same shapeC. are made of the same materialD. belong to the same social class42. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.B. Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.D. Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data.43. The purpose of the text is to get more people to .A. do researchB. design shoesC. visit the museumD. follow celebritiesCMany people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.―People today prefer living together to puttin g their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship.‖ said social worker Ken Yip. ―And this is what is causing a lot of family problems.‖ When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process writing complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be very serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.There are people who wish to remain anonymous (匿名) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.Name or no name ? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.44. What does the writer mean by saying ―Responsibility is the name of the game‖?A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.B. Publications must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.C. Writers should be responsible for their names.D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.45. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may___.A. help to end a relationshipB. not get a replyC. be accepted all the sameD. become a family problem46. Some people don’t want their names known because they are___.A. hesitant to make a donationB. unwilling to draw public attentionC. afraid of an accusationD. ready for involvement47. The passage is mainly about ______.A. honor and writersB. identity and signatureC. signature and responsibilityD. anonymity and signatureDLast night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.48. Why did the author get impatient while driving?A. He was lonely on the road.B. He was slowed down by a truck.C. He got tired of driving too long.D. He came across too many traffic lights.49. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A Stopping still.B. Driving through it.C. Looking around for other cars.D. Checking out for traffic police.50. The event made the author strongly believe that _______.A. traffic rules may be unnecessaryB. doubting others is human natureC. patience is important to driversD. a society needs mutual trust51. Why was the author proud of himself?A. He kept his promise.B. He held back his anger.C. He followed his inclination.D. He made a right decision.EThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemedsurprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.52. The author expected the train trip to beA. adventurousB. pleasantC. excitingD. dull53.What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?A. The friendly country people.B. The mountains along the way.C. The crowds of people in the streets.D.

Comfort in traveling by train.B. Pleasure of living in the country.C. Reading gives people delight.D. Smiles brighten people up.第二节（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
