高二英语周测试题人教版必修8时间：80分钟满分100分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40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．AAs computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide­spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differaently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的)value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beauti ful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.1．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because________.A．they are usually asked to e­mail their homework and essaysB．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyC．they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD．computers have become a trend and fashion in China2．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting? A．Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.B．The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self­confidence.D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.3．The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means________. A．getting bored with B．getting dependent onC．becoming crazy about D．getting curious about4．We can draw the conclusion from the passage that________.A．more and more students will give up writing on a computerB．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC．more and more students will pay attention to handwritingD．the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and qualityBWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that looks like cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractoris far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!5. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.6. NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits7. The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaCFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in largeglass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical（光学的）instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter（散开）and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets（子弹）.Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component （组成的）parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.9. As time goes by, glass ________.A. is regarded as transparentB. is used to make things look pleasantC. is seen as more than decorationD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers10. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import.B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.11. Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.C. To give some information about hard glass.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.12. Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.D. Because glass is more and more widely used.DIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.13.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.14.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.15.What is the California builder’s sto ry intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.16.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.EAre you wishing for the days when your feed was filled with posts from friends you care about the most？The good news is that you can fix your Facebook News Feed to show more posts that interest you and fewer that do not．By taking just a few minutes to fix your feed，you may be able to enjoy Facebook again．●No need to unfriend anyone．Just set your feed to see what you want to see and hide what you do not want to see．See important friends firstFacebook lets you choose which friends'posts show at the top of your News Feed．Maybe you have dear friends who do not post often，but you want to be sure you see their posts first．You can easily choose whose posts you want to see first by changing your News Feed settings．●Procedures：On the Facebook website，tap the Down arrow in the upper right corner of the blue bar at the top of the screen．Then，choose “News Feed Preferences.” Then click on “List who to see first．” Choose the names of people whose posts you want to see at the top of your NewsFeed．The final step is to click"Done"at the bottom．Block friends'posts without unfriending anyoneYou may be best friends with someone in real life but have no interest in their Facebook posts．Maybe they post angry messages or childish videos．Facebook lets you secretly block friends'posts from your feed．No one will know you blocked them unless you tell them．●Procedures：The process is simple．Tap the Down arrow in the upper right corner of the blue bar at the top of the Facebook page．Then，choose"News Feed Preferences．"Next，choose"Unfollow people to hide their posts．"Then，mark the friends you want to unfollow．This will prevent their posts from appearing in your News Feed．When you finish blocking，just tap"Done"．17.What does the text guide people to do？A．To update information on Facebook．B．To reset Facebook for receiving posts．C．To search for favourite posts on Facebook．D．To download an application for Facebook．18.How many steps does it take to reset your favorite posts？A． 3．B． 4．C． 5．D． 6．19.Why do you want to block some of your friends'posts？A．Because their posts may bother you．B．Because they are not your best friends．C．Because you are too busy to read them．D．Because you want to stay away from them．20.What will happen if you mark your friends as"Unfollow"？A．They will not get in touch with you．B．You will make them angry with you．C．Your News Feed will not show their posts．D．They will not see your posts on Facebook．第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.LoveLove plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent.

周测英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AShakespeare's Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeare's WorldWelcome to the Worldfamous house where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and where he grew up.The property(房产) remained in the ownership of Shakespeare's family until 1806.The House has welcomed visitors travelling from all over the world，for over 250 years.OPENING TIMES20 Mar to 19 OctMon to Sat：9：00 am to 5：00 pmSun：9：30 am to 5：00 pm20 Oct to 19 MarMon to Sat：9：30 am to 4：00 pmSun：10：00 am to 4：00 pm◆Enter through the Visitors' Centre and see the highlypraised exhibition Shakespeare's World，a lively and full introduction to the life and work of Shakespeare.◆Stand in the rooms where Shakespeare grew up.◆Discover examples of furniture and needlework from Shakespeare's period.◆Enjoy the traditional(传统的) English garden，planted with trees and flowers mentioned in the poet's works.ADMISSION：Adult ￡4.90Child ￡2.20Family ￡12.00(2 adults＋up to 3 children)The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map；nearest is WindsorStreet(3 minutes' walk)．The House may present difficulties but the Visitors' Centre，its exhibition，and the garden are accessible(可进入的) to wheelchair users.The Shakespeare Coffee House(opposite the Birthplace)．1. How much is the admission for a family of two grownups and two children?A．￡9.80. B．￡12.00. C．￡14.20. D．￡16.40.2.

A wheelchair user may need help to enter ______.A．the House B．the gardenC．the Visitors' Centre D．the exhibition hallBScience can't explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure(血压)and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread allround good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002 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(放松) 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 dietandexercise programs；a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program.On average，people lost about 11 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.4.What does the text mainly discuss?A．What pets bring to their owners.B．How pets help people calm down.C．People's opinions of keeping pets.D．Pet's value in medical research.5. 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 family6. According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks? A．They have lower blood pressure. B．They become more patient.C．They are less nervous. D．They are in higher spirits.7. 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 unhelpfulCWhen I was six，Dad brought home a dog one day，who was called“Brownie”．My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her.One of us would walk her，another would feed her，then there were baths，playing catch and many other games.Brownie，in return，loved each and every one of us.One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them.We always felt better when she was around.One day，as I was getting her food，she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad's shoes，which had to be thrown away in the end.I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.When I looked at her and said，“Bad girl，”she looked down at th e ground and then went and hid.I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet.She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her.Of course she'd let anyone pet her.She was just the most lovabledog.There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair.She never barked(吠)or tried to get away.Funny thing is she would smile.This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.Far from the truth，she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age.I still miss the days when she was with us.8.What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A．Look at them sadly. B．Keep them company.C．Play games with them. D．Touch them gently.9. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie ______.A．would eat anything when hungry B．felt sorry for her mistakeC．loved playing hideandseek D．disliked the author's dad10. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?A．She was treated as a member of the family.B．She played games with anyone she liked.C．She was loved by everybody she met.D．She went everywhere with the family.11. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she ______.A．smiled B barked C．rushed to them D．tried to be funny12. Which of the following best describes Brownie?A．Shy. B．Polite. C．Brave. D．Caring.DAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene.Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see qui te a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene,setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon,bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in “snow”．Two more fans were turned on，and a “strong wind” blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast（对比）．The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen（幕）．An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.By a simple trick like this，palm trees，sandy beaches，and blue，clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next，we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excit ement of being film “stars”！13.Who is the author?A．A cameraman.B．A film director.C．A crowdscene actor.D．A workman for scene setting.14. What made the author feel cold?A．The heavy snowfall.B．The manmade scene.C．The low temperature.D．The film being shown.15.

And many of them are often told: if you exercise, you will lose weight; ------which is one of the most widely accepted ideas in our culture. As a doctor, I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?It’s another question many of us may ask. More than 35 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.And yet obesity figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or from magazines like this one.12.Which title is the most suitable one for this article? ______A. Overweight Is Not Good for YouB. Exercise Won’t Make You ThinC. Gym Is Part of American LifestyleD. A Health Problem in America13.Which statement is correct? ______A. Some Americans join a health club but never take exercise thereB. The number of overweight people has doubled since 1993 in USC. More than 35 million Americans now go to the gym regularlyD. Most Americans waste too much money each year on sports14.From the passage, we know that exercise ____.A. has long been believed to be good for older adultsB. is not properly advertised as a way to lose weightC. was never recognized as an effective way to lose weightD. is not useful at all15.According to the passage, why do people gain weight? ______A. Because they have the habit of going to the gym regularlyB. Because they eat the same food when they do not exerciseC. Because they exercise less than required by doctorsD. Because they eat more after they exercise16.What can be inferred from the passage? ______A. Most Americans are overweight.B. Very few people in America are overweight.C. The author takes exercise all the time so he is very slim now.D. The author takes exercise all the time but it doesn’t make him lose weightEHome schooling nowadays becomes more popular. Home schooling is the education of children taught at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal setting of public or private school. The advantages of home schooling are plentiful, including the ability to create a positive learning environment without the danger and distractions of public school. What’s more, parents could stay with their children together for more time. However, home schooling also has disadvantages.First, home schooling may lead to students less communication with others. As we all know, the students who learn in public schools may find a lot of friends. When they meet difficulties, they can get help from others. But as for the students studying at home, the only persons they meet are their parents or tutors. It is certainly true that the children will have less interaction with their peers than those who attend public school on a regular basis.Second, home schooling may make children not know how to cooperate with others. Children who learn at home always stay with their parents or tutors. When they meet difficulties, they are always turning to and depending on their parents. But the children in public schools may know how to solve the problem with their friends.What’s more, home schooling may cost much more money than public school. If the parents want to take on the responsibility of educating their children themselves, it’s up to them to finance the entire experience. Learning materials, computer software and books that are otherwise paid for by the public school are needed, in addition to the regular school supplies all parents must purchase for their children. Considering that the parent doing the home schooling is unlikely to manage a full-time job on the side, these expenses are tough for some families to meet.17.What is one of the benefits of home education?A. It creates a more negative learning environment.B. Parents can stay with their kids for more time.C. Children have more social abilities.D. It has much lower cost.18.What would happen in the style of home schooling?A. One will have less peer pressure.B. One will have an easier way to make friends.C. One will have little cooperation with others.D. One will learn more knowledge than in public or private school.19.What is the main idea of the passage?A. America’s home schooling.B. The advantage of home schooling.C. The disadvantages of home schooling.D. Differences between school education and home education.20.What is the author’s attitude to home schooling?A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentF二．七选五How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend 21 . But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 22 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 23Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4. Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as these would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 24 . The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5. Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 25 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A. Be cheerful.B. Do things together.C. Do not wait to be spoken to.D. Try not to find fault with your friends.E. Making new friends comes easy for some people.F. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）No one is born a winner.

AOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurantwhere everyone from the humblest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticedan empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. Hewas w earing a w orn-out h at a nd w as a lone. I a sked i f I m ight j oin h im. H e a greed q uietlyand I sat down to have my breakfast.We c autiously b egan a c onversation a nd s poke a bout a w ide r ange o f t hings. W e n ever introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able toafford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cupof coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cupof coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At thedoor, I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feelingpity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyonewith respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.1. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A.UnfriendlyB.UntidyC.GentleD.Kind2. The author bought coffee for the old man because .A.he thought the old man was poor.B.he wanted to start a conversation.C.he intended to show his politeness.D.he would like to thank the old man.3. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A.ProudB.PitifulC.AstonishedD.Regretful4. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A.We should learn to be generous.B.It is honorable to help those in need.C.People in high positions are not like what we expect.D.We should avoid judging people by their appearances.BI travel a lot,and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names;in Japan,people use l andmarks in their directions instead of street names. For e xample, t he J apanese w ill s ay t o t ravelers,“Go s traight d own t o t he c orner. T urn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from thebus stop. ”In t he c ountryside o f t he A merican M idwest, t here a re n ot u sually m any l andmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile."People i n L os A ngeles, C alifornia, h ave n o i dea o f d istance o n t he m ap; t hey m easure distance in time,not miles. “How far away is the post office?”you ask. “Oh,”they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say,“Yes,but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” Butin Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A touristcan get very, very lost in Yucatan!5. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place,theyusually . A.describe the place carefully B.show him amap of the placeC.tell him the names of the streetsD.refer to recognizable buildings and places6. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A.New York.B.Los Angeles.C.Kansas.D.Iowa.7. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.A.in order to save timeB.as a testC.so as to be politeD.for fun8. what can we infer from the text?A.It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CI w ish t here w ould b e a w ay t o d escribe C hina i n s imple t erms b ut t hat’s i mpossible.For the most part, Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic.

Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.The cost of living here i s very low compared with that of the US. The city of XiangFan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported foods are very cheap, soare clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is verylow, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’tafford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areasin China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions forthe poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned o f t he p ositive c hanges C hina h as g one t hrough.

Inthe author’ eyes, ______.A.China is better than the USB.China is different from the USC.Americans are richer than ChineseD.China bears great similarities to the USDThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, makingyou believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designedand measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that is buying not onlya product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behaviorrecently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality”of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consu mers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,”a s L ouis C heskin, t he f irst s ocial s cientist s tudying c onsumers’f eelingfor packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that itis very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices goingup.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.13. According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product14. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A.bring excitement to the consumersB.attract the consumers' attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling15. “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their healthEFor the first time in Hong Kong’s history, an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yun-fat.The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed.On hearing about this, Chow said happily, “I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks, for they are the only way to succe ss.”Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life.Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund” and “A Better Tomorrow”. Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards.In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already over 40, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun-fat Day”.16.

D．Outlying Islands.2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．New Territories has towns with a large population.B．Kowloon has many expensive hotels and a shopping district.C．Lantau Island has most of the islands surrounding Hong Kong Island.D．Hong Kong Island has the highest skyscraper of Hong Kong.3．Where can this article probably be found?A．A story book. B．A news report.C．A travel guide. D．A science magazine.BI stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students，waiting for the answer to our burning question：What type of crazy tie would ler be wearing today?Our teacher walked around the corner with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh，the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie!With his glasses at the tip of his nose，he greeted us cheerfully，“Good morning，folks！” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us.He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music，so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons.But when he turned on the music，my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of ...Peter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”．Snickers (窃笑) filled the room.If it wasn't rap or hip hop，we didn't recognize it.What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all.But for me，a girl of 12，it was a discovery.An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical­note shirts as I greet them with a joyful，“Good morning，class！” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award，which I received for being a dynamic teacher and I smile to myself，wondering which child in front of me will carry this on—as I've carried on the legacy (遗产) of ler.One teacher，who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me，threw thesignificant stone into the pond of my life.I pray the ripples (涟漪) never end.4．How did the author react to the song “If I Had a Hammer” ?A．Puzzled. B．Disappointed.C．Uninterested. D．Excited.5．What does the underlined word “this” in t he text refer to?A．A kind heart.B．The smile.C．A gift for music.D．The love for teaching.6．What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A．To prove her love for music.B．To show a teacher's effect on her.C．To call on students to take up teaching.D．To share her experience in music learning.CThe human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones.Our brains have developed this way because threats，like dangerous animals，had a more immediate effect on our ancestors' survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.As a result，you likely know what makes you unhappy，but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness depends partly on factors we cannot control—our genes and our life circumstances.But our level of happiness is also shaped by the choices we make.If you've been chasing wealth，fame，good looks，material things and power，you may be looking for happiness in all the wrong places.Psychologists suggest that the following habits make people happier.People who form close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of friends we have is not important.What matters is the quality of our relationships.Relationships that bring happiness usually involve the sharing of feelings，mutual respect，acceptance，trust and fun.People who exercise regularly improve both their physical and mental well being.Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as medication in treating depression.When we are so interested in an activity we enjoy that we lose track of time，we are in a state offlow.The activity could be making art，playing piano，surfing，or playing a game.People who experience flow in their work or hobbies tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and use them regularly.People who set goals and use their strengths to achieve them tend to be happier.People are especially happy when they can use their strengths to serve the greater good.People who think positively by being grateful，mindful and optimistic are more likely to be happy.Being grateful means being thankful.Being mindful means being open to，focusing on and enjoying the experiences of the present moment.Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.7．Why does the human brain remember negative things more easily?A．Negative things are easy to remember.B．Dangerous wild animals are a threat to us.C．Our ancestors had no enough food for living.D．Negative things tend to affect human survival immediately.8．What does the author suggest us in the last paragraph?A．Enjoying our life and work.B．Leading a happy life each day.C．Being positive in our life and work.D．Thinking more about the future.9．What does this text mainly tell us?A．The factors that make people happy.B．How to remember positive things easily，C．The habits which people form in their life.D．Why people remember negative things easily.DTime wasters are real enemies of success.Time wasters could be people，events or habits that lead to the opposite path away from our goals.The most important starting point in removing the time wasters in life is to know about them.We need to sit down and analyze the activities which take our time.Start by making a list of our activities and sort out the neither urgent nor importantones.Sometimes it could be a simple addiction to a TV Soap Opera，constant distractions，or even one of our core (核心的) activities that we are not excellent at doing.We can，for instance，imagine that we are a business owner and we keep sabotaging our business deals，leading the company into great financial problems.It may be time for us to have our associates do the marketing while we concentrate on the areas we are best in.The next thing would be to make sure that we plan our daily activities.One of the obvious reasons is that we will have an upper hand in fighting against time wasters in our schedule.If what we want to do or what we don't want to do becomes clear，our focus is strengthened.Moreover，when we think of people We spend time with，we are sure to notice that some have a more positive impact on our success while others have a negative one.It is important to be able to distinguish them especially with regard to our schedule.While we do not advocate for everyone to throw away relationships，it is good to know that helping a friend who is emotionally disturbed can wait till dinner time.Finally，do the same to our habits.List all the habits and addictions that take any amount of our time.Then，take a little time to straighten them out in line with their importance and urgency.Depending on our analysis，kill those that are harmful to our goals in life.10．The underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to．A．promoting B．offeringC．damaging D．striking11．What do we know about time wasters from the passage?A．They fail to set clear goals for their life.B．They arrange things on importance and need.C．They turn away our attention from achieving goals.D．They are addicted to sorting out the important activities.12．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?A．P1→P2→P3→P4 B．P1→P2，P3→P4C．P1→P2，P3，P4 D．P1，P2，P3→P4EIs dark chocolate healthy? Yes，dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt，even on a daily basis.But the amount matters，since toomany bites can contribute to extra fat，sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa，which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇)．At high levels，cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes.Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols：milk chocolate has less，and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat, they give it a biter flavor.Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious，but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds，said Matt Hartings，an American professor.In spite of this，dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate，which tends to have more sugar.Additionally，cocoa powder contains minerals.So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal.Just keep the following in mind.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa.“Generally speaking，the higher the percentage，the more flavanols.These higher­percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat，”Hartings said.Second，if possible，choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa，which is treated with an alkali (碱)．This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally，to keep weight in check，limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily，or about 150 calories，13．Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of ．A．rich minerals B．less sugarC．cocoa flavanols D．fewer calories14．What can we learn from the text?A．Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.B．White chocolate is good for health.C．One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.D．Alkali can affect flavanols' content.15．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To show his love for dark chocolate.B．To promote the sales of chocolate.C．To provide facts about dark chocolate.D．To make a distinction among chocolates.第二节：七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginatively into the situation and trying to understand a frame of reference different from your own，and yet so many of us don't listen properly as we should.Listening means more than just sitting silently while someone else talks. 16 Here are some ways to become a better listener.17 Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is saying，and you can't cut your friend off verbally carelessly.While you might intend to help move the conversation along your friend might feel as if what he has said needs to be continually talked over or sounds anything but interesting.Nod to encourage the conversation along.A better option to let your friend know you're interested in what he says is just to nod along from time to time.Sometimes you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say. 18Turn out background noise.If you're easily distracted by laughter，glasses clinking，children crying，you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your friend. 19 Don't hesitate to tell them that the background noises are getting in the way.If you can't focus，try moving to another area.Don't text or look at your phone！20 For you see，when you're sitting in front of someone，he is the most important person in your world at that moment.A．Stop the speaker whenever you have a question.B．Practice silence when someone else is talking.C．If necessary，ask your friend to repeat himself.D．Whoever is calling or texting can wait until you're done with your conversation.E．It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker sees it.F．In this case，try to push away your thoughts until you're absorbed in what your friend is saying.G Remembering ideas from previous conversations proves that your attention is kept and encourages your friend to continue.第二部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)I was out for my usual morning run and found myself in the late­summer heat，thirsty.If only Ihad taken a 21 bottle.After I stopped under a bridge to

A篇Vincent Van Gogh, for whom color was the most important form of expression, was born in Holland in 1853.Brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Van Gogh was highly emotional and lacked self­confidence.Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore and an art salesman.He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty.One of his famous paintings is The Potato Eaters(1885)．In 1886, he went to Paris to join his brotherThéo.In Paris, Van Gogh studied with Cormon, later metPissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten hisvery dark palette(调色板)．His nervous temperamentmade him a difficult companion and night­longdiscussions combined with painting all day underminedhis health.He decided to go south to Arles where hehoped his friends would join him and help found a schoolof art.Gauguin did join him but with bad results. Nearthe end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to finally leave Arles.Van Gogh ran after him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off.Van Gogh then was sent to a mental (精神的) hospital for treatment.In May of 1890, he se emed much better and went to live in Auvers­sur­Oise under the watchful eye of Dr Cachet.Two months later he was dead, having shot himself “for the good of all”．During his brief career he had sold one painting.Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years.His great fusion (融合) of form and content is powerful, dramatic and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence (精华) of man and nature.1．Before Van Gogh started to learn art, ________.A．he couldn't do his work well B．he was confident about himselfC．he did a good job in a bookstore D．he was one of the successful artists 2．The underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．A．harmed B．improved C．challenged D．punished3．Gauguin finally decided to leave Van Gogh probably because ________.A．Van Gogh didn't like Gauguin at allB．something was wrong with Van GoghC．Gauguin cut off one of Van Gogh's earsD．Gauguin hated to be a teacher at the school4．What can we learn from Van Gogh's works?A．His pride and kindness. B．His cruelty and failure.C．His honesty and strength. D．His struggle and viewpoints.B篇Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). ＂From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,＂explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.5. Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. Productive.C. Generous.D. Traditional.6. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time andsubject.C篇Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings （版画） by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,＂Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.＂While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start­up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start­up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not somethingin our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay­writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can —then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correctat every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was nowas exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feelingtired.13．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start­up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.14．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution15．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsF篇根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
