四川省宜宾市一中2017-2018学年上期第2周英语试题第一部分:双向细目表第二部分:试题一.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)AFamily members play an important role in helping teens to become healthier. It is much easier to cook and prepare tasty and nutritious meals and snacks when everyone is working on the same goals. Here are some tips for you and your family.Be a good role model. Teens are easily affected by what they see, so it is important for family members to follow a healthy lifestyle. If parents are active and eating well,teens are likely to follow.Keep healthy food in the house. If nutritious foods are available,your family members are likely to make healthier choices. Fill the refrigerator and freezer with nutritious foods,such as fruits,vegetables,low-fat dairy products (yogurt,cheese and milk),and whole grains.Cook and eat meals together. Learning how to cook is an important life lesson. Ask your teens to prepare healthy meals with you. Instead of fried foods,use healthier ways to prepare foods such as baking, steaming, or microwaving. Talking and connecting with your teens is an important part of family time and it will also help slow down the pace of the meal so as to prevent overeating.Eat at home most of the time. Fast food is higher in fat,salt and calories than most meals prepared at home. What’s more,portion sizes at fast food and other restaurants are usually too large,and can lead to weight gain.Make small behavior changes. Permanent changes in health happen with small steps,not with strict dieting. Focus on making small changes,such as drinking less regular soda and juice,eating more fruit and vegetables which are rich in Vitamins,or eating less fast food. Making small changes as a family can lead to great health benefits.Click here for more information.1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To give housewives advice on how to cook tasty food.B.To offer advice on how to attract teens to eat at home.C.To tell parents some ways of helping teens form healthy lifestyle.D.To advise family members to do exercise to lose weight.2.Weight problems can result from________ according to the passage.A.eating outside frequentlyB.having milk regularlyC.chatting over mealsD.eating enough whole grains3.We can learn from the passage that________.A.drinking regular soda is good for losing weightB.kids usually don’t like following their parents’ lifestyleC.healthy food contains less fat and salt but more vitaminsD.you must follow strict dieting if you want to keep fit4.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A magazine B.A textbook C.A website D.A newspaperB“Failure is not an option (选择)” is a very well-known saying. But my father told me that “failure has a timeline”.You have to know that my father was a true genius (天才).He designed the first jet fighter plane the US Air Force had back in 1954,the F-84.You also have to know that his only son is anything but a genius. I was born in 1941,and I am still here at 68 years old. I graduated from Point Loma High in San Diego on June 15,1960,and I was “pleased” with being in the top 10% of the lower one-third of my class of about 300 students. Well,at least I graduated!Some years later in the 1960s,my Dad talked to me about failure.At the time I was very discouraged at my career plans after serving two years in the Peace Corps in Gabon,West Africa,and some time with Air America in Vietnam.I said to my Dad,“Dad,you know I’ve been a failure at everything I’ve tried in life and I just don’t know what to do now.”My dad looked at me with those “genius eyes” and said to me,“Failure is a relative (相对的) thing. It has a time-line!Now just remember that failure is not an option...IN THIS LIFETIME!” He then explained to me that failure is part of a successful path,and that I should always keep in my mind that time,failure and success all work together.To this very day,I still love,respect,and honor my dad and my mom. Maybe some day I will “grow up” and be as smart as my dad was.5.In the writer’s opinion,his father was very________.A.serious B.great C.easy-going D.different6.According to Paragraph 4,before talking to his dad,the writer________.A.was encouraged by his career plansB.had hope for a good lifeC.was very confidentD.had probably lost heart7.Which of the following statements would the writer’s father agree with?A.Some people will never succeed.B.People should not experience failure.C.Failure at a certain period of time is acceptable.D.Success has nothing to do with failure.8.Today the writer still hopes that________.A.he will be someone like his father one dayB.he will have a chance to work with his fatherC.he will be able to make good use of failure one dayD.he will find out the connection between failure and successCAs early as 1894,the newly-formed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.In 1911,a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki. Some opposed the idea. At last,the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However,World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920,the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.The town of Chamonix,in the French Alps,planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924,at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac,a member of the IOC,suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. The IOC didn’t go that far,but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”.The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding (雪橇车比赛),figure skating,hockey,Nordic skiing and speed skating. Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal,in the 500-meter speed skating,but the festival’s hero wa s Claus Thunberg from Finland. He won five medals,three of which were gold,in speed skating.Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics,and so it was atChamonix. The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud. Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.Despite the weather,more than 10,000 people showed up. At its yearly meeting in 1925,the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years,just like the Summer Olympics.9.Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?A.Because the IOC didn’ t agree to it.B.Because it was still under discussion.C.Because some people opposed the idea.D.Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.10.How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games?A.16. B.24. C.28. D.29.11.We can know from the passage that________.A.the weather destroyed the first Winter OlympicsB.people from 16 countries watched the first Winter OlympicsC.Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter OlympicsD.Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics12.What’ s the best title for the passage?A.The development of the Olympics.B.The importance of weather in the Olympics.C.The story of the first Winter Olympic Games.D.How did the Winter Olympics come into being?DLike an elegant host of a large family party,Halekulani Hotel sits at the southern end of Waikiki Beach amidst other hotels. It is a part of the scene because of its presence and also because of its quality.The hotel’s rooms can attest to its quality and they are categorized (分类)by view:Garden Courtyard View,Ocean View,Ocean Front View. All are beautifully designed,very clean,easily accessible and quiet. This sense of ease is made stronger by the gardens that give each morning a glory and fill the evening air with the smell of flowers. So attractive is the setting that many couples choose to exchange their wedding vows (婚姻誓约) here.Attention to details is a feature of all excellent hotels. In Halekulani Hotel,the sum of the small things adds impressively to the total experience. On the bed each evening,guests find small gifts left by staff when the rooms are cleaned. Fruit and flowers in the room are changed daily. By the pool,when you walk in the hot sun,they will offer you icy towels,which makes the guests moved.Breakfast,lunch and dinner at the Halekulani Hotel are not simply occasions for the sense of taste. They are relaxing and unforgettable experiences that appeal to all the senses. The breakfast can be enjoyed inside or on the courtyard which overlooks the ocean. Lunch and dinner are all reasonably priced and delicious. Like many people on holiday,I tend to eat a little more than I should. Fortunately,the hotel hastwo places designed to increase wellbeing. The first is the Spa. The Spa does more than relax the body. It relaxes the mind and spirit as well. The gym does much the same and is equipped for those wanting to lose those pounds that were gained on vacation. Yoga,tai chi and other fitness programs are offered daily by trained instructors.13.The underlined phrase “attest to” is closest in meaning to “______”.A.explain B.improve C.prove D.change 14.From the third paragraph we can learn that the staff in the hotel are________.A.hardworking B.humorous C.energetic D.thoughtful 15.Which of the following would the author disagree with?A.That the hotel pays close attention to details.B.That food in the hotel is a little expensive.C.That the Spa is also a good place to relax the mind.D.That eating in the hotel is enjoyable to all the senses.二.阅读选择完成短文(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___16___John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___17___ Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___18___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.”Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____19___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____20___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their useof toolsF. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonlyused by baboons.G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.第三部分:答案解析[A篇语篇解读] 本文介绍了一些培养孩子健康饮食习惯的建议。

This meant a chance for my first income ----- cash for a new bike and new clothes, andthe 9 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attractive, and I wanted to 10 at it.Then I realized I would have to 11 playing baseball in the summer to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Jarvis I wouldn’t play it. I was 12 about this.When I told the matter to Jarvis, he was as 13 as I had expected.”You have your whole life to work,’’ he said. “But your 14 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head 15 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and making money was worth 16 his disappointment.“How much are you going to make in this job?” he demanded.“$3.25an hour the price of a 17 ?” he asked.That 18 made me realize the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 19 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos(丹佛野马对) in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the 20 of my dreams.1.

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an apposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressure from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competition who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning of competition.21. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.22. Why do some people support competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.23. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.24. Which point of view may the author agree with?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter .D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.三.七选五(共五小题,每小题2分,满分10分)This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can see forgetful and clumsy. 25 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 26 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip intodaydreams. 27 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task-----preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 28Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 29Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.四.语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分)Two things that I did may have let somepeople (think) that something is wrong with me. The first was when my wife asked me to have the clock (repair), I drove into the market place of my town. With the clock under my arm, I entereda shop. But it was a meat shop, I didn’t realize then. I stood there staring at the shopkeeper.I (be) his customer for a long time and the kind man smiled at me. This went on for several seconds before I realized where I was. There is no doubt that I should calmly bought a pound of meat, I merely nodded briefly and left.The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Tony. Some years ago he was the manager of Mead’s Shop, and we knew each other quite well. One day he (stand) in the doorway of his shop when I passed. I was absent-minded and stared into space.“Hello, Mr. Herriot,” I heard his voice. I looked at him in puzzlement ---- I just had no ideahe was though his face was familiar. Then Isaw word “MEAD” in two-foot-high letters above the shop window.“Good morning, Mead,” I cried heartily and continued my way. I had gone only a few miles before I realized that my greeting hadbeen (polite). I turned back and said to him again. “Good morning, Mister Mead.” It was only when I had turned the corner of the street that I realized his name was Tony and the time was late last afternoon.五.改错题(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)I once play for our school football team.One of my teammate played so good that both thecoach and the other teammates liked him very much.As time went by,I became more and moreenvious of him,complain that he got the coach’s praise and appreciation,that I should haveenjoyed.Therefore,whenever he was on the pitch with me,I would refuse pass the ball tohim.Of course,our team suffered a lot of due to my envy of him.Lucky enough,the coachrealized that and pointed at my mistakes just in time.I felt very sorry and apologized for which I。

I stood there staring at the shopkeeper.I (be) his customer for a long time and the kind man smiled at me. This went on for several seconds before I realized where I was.

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women. 1. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical schoolB. She decided to further her education in ParisC. A serious eye problem stopped herD. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States2. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?A. She was a woman.B. She wrote too many letters.C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.3. How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening ofher hospital?A. Eight yearsB. Ten yearsC. Nineteen yearsD. Thirty-six years4. According to the passage, all of the following are “firsts” in the life of ElizabethBlackwell, except that she ______.A. became the first woman physicianB. was the first woman doctorC. and several other women founded the first hospital for women and childrenD. set up the first medical school for women5. Elizabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.A. EnglandB. ParisC. the United StatesD. New York CityBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, u sually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.6. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is ac tually ________.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting7. What is a bird’s “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.8. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.9. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds’ daily life.D. By telling a bird’s story.10. What does the underline word “screaming” in paragraph 4 mean?A. 哭喊声B. 令人惊愕的C. 尖叫声D. 尖叫的CAmericans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.11. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______.A. may be doubledB. may be the same as beforeC. will reach 250 millionD. will decrease12. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Visitors will pay less than before.B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.13. Entrance fees may be increased _______.A. because the National Park Service are short of moneyB. only for the development of the national parksC. to protect the animalsD. mainly to limit the number of visitors14. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?A. Enlarged.B. Admitted.C. Controlled.D. Concerned.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,共70分)注意:将答案写在答题卡上。

ACalvin Gillian didn't believe that Norway was the place for an adventurous holiday.However, some friends told him to go there and he loved it.“I'm an extreme-sports maniac. I've traveled to many different countries, but I didn't expect Norway to be a good place for an extreme holiday. Tourists usually visit Norway because of its old Viking history or to go fishing and boating in the famous fjords (峡湾) to enjoy a relaxing holiday, or to go climbing to enjoy the beauty of nature. But I didn'tgo for fishing; I wanted adventure.“Skiing (滑雪) is the best thing you can do in Norway. Svartisen, the Black Ice glacier (冰川), is wonderful. The ice is not the usual white but a deep blue color, like the sea. However, you have to wear special clothes, because skiing on a million-year-old glaciercan be very dangerous.“Then, there is Hunderfossen Family Park or Troll Park. You can go water skiing and ice skating. It is certainly a beautiful place but it is more expensive than visiting otherparts of Norway.“I also visited the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo. The view from the top of the ski jump was wonderful and the ski museum was very interesting. I wanted to try a jump but unfortunately, it's only for professional ski-jumpers. Anyway, I was very tired and I needed a break, so I went back to my hotel and got some sleep.“Next year, I am going to take my girlfriend to Norway, too. She is having her holiday in Australia now and she wants to have a different type of adventure for next year.”21. How did Calvin Gillian feel about his trip?A. Bored.B. Relaxed.C. Satisfied.D. Disappointed.22. The underlined word “maniac” (in Para. 2) refers to someone who _____.A. has a strong interest in somethingB. has a bad opinion of somethingC. expects things to be successfulD. likes to compete with others23. What did Calvin Gillian do in Norway?A. Ski-jumping.B. Climbing.C. Fishing.D. Skiing.24. What's the best title for the text?A. Calvin Gillian's Holiday PlansB. Travel in Different CountriesC. Historical Places in NorwayD. A Norwegian AdventureBScientists have been working to grow meat “in vitro,” or in a laboratory, for many years. In the laboratory, they mix cells (细胞) from a horse and a pig. They feed the cells to help them increase in number and grow into a small piece of meat.Right now, the meat that scientists have made is very small and looks gray because in vitro meat does not need blood to grow. But this is not its only problem. It takes a long time for the meat to grow and scientists do not know how to make a large amount (数量). It also costs a lot of money to make in vitro meat. Making enough for one meal would cost$250,000.Although producing in vitro meat has many problems, scientists continue to work because in vitro meat would have many advantages. Since we have 7,000,000,000 people on the planet to feed, in vitro meat can help lower the need for the earth's resources (资源). Besides, “Moving the production of meat from farms to laboratories would help cut down the huge amount of harmful (有害的) gases produced by farm animals,” says reporter NickCollins.In vitro meat could solve (解决) many of the problems of animal meat. But can humans eat this in vitro meat? Scientists do not know if it even tastes like real meat. Because of food research laws, they are not yet able to taste their meat. But they hope someday people can buy it in their local market. They say it is real meat and it is just made in adifferent way.A lot of people are still worried about in vitro meat. However, it will be years before the meat is ready to sell. Kate Shepard, a writer for Mother Jo nes magazine, says, “It will require hard testing before it can be fed to humans. It is still such a new idea that we do not know yet what health problems it may have. Right now, there are no rules for invitro meat.”25. What are the scientists trying to find out in their experiment?A. How to get a new kind of animal.B. How to make a new kind of meat.C. How to make animal meat taste better.D. How to greatly increase animals' numbers.26. What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The ways to improve the experiment.B. The bad influence the experiment brings.C. The problems scientists face in the experiment.D. The difficulty in collecting money for the experiment.27. What does Nick think of in vitro meat?A. It stops people's cruelty to animals.B. It is environmentally friendly.C. It is against the rules.D. It worries him a lot.28. According to scientists, in vitro meat _____.A. is safe to eatB. tastes like real meatC. may be successful in the futureD. will soon be available on the marketCCALGARY, CANADA — It was one of the most important phone calls Bruce Burrell has ever received, a call warning that a flood (水灾) was headed Calgary's way.“I got a phone call about five in the morning on Thursday from Len McCharles, who was on watch at the time, and he said ‘there has been big flooding in Canmore and it's heading this way,’” said Burrell, the head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.“I got up immediately, turned on the morning news, saw the pictures from Canmore and then called McCharles back. I said ‘open the Emergency Operations Centre.’”Burrell was in the EOC for 48 hours straight and it wasn't until Burrell left the centre for the first time that the disaster (灾难) hit him.“Once you step outside and you actually see it and hear it, it paints a completely different picture from what you thought you would be dealing with.”Calgary firefighters came to help the Calgarians who were influenced by floodwaters. Keal Prince, captain of the Calgary Fire Department remembers how a young boy lost his finger while helping a woman remove debris (瓦砾) out of her house.“As his finger got cut off it went into a fully loaded dumpster (装好的垃圾箱),” Prince said. “People had worked hours to get the dumpster loaded and now they're working tirelessly, quickly, to unload that dumpster, looking for that finger.”“We had to remove a lot of debris to find that finger. Luckily, the finger was found andit was reattached (重新接上),” Prince added.Burrell is proud of what the city has achieved so far. And he says the city couldn't have done it without hundreds of unsung heroes. “There were a lot of unbelievable things that went on during the flood and I think that is what Calgarians need to be proud of.”29. On the morning of Thursday, Burrell _____.A. recognised his house was floodedB. was called to go to Canmore to help peopleC. got to know from others about a coming disasterD. opened his house and found something was wrong30. Hearing what had happened, Burrell _____.A. called the centre to collect picturesB. reported the event to the TV stationC. went to the flooded areas immediatelyD. gave orders for work to be started at once31. It seemed that the young boy _____.A. was a great helpB. had a happy endingC. looked for his finger for hours aloneD. was hurt while unloading the dumpster32. We can infer from the last paragraph that Burrell _____.A. thinks highly of people in CalgaryB. has received praise from CalgariansC. thinks it's his duty to protect the cityD. feels the firefighters need more trainingDDebby Harris says she would never have started going to the Glastonbury Festival if her friend who runs a food stall (小吃摊) hadn't needed a hand a few years back. “I thoughtit would just be all noise, and I never liked rock music.” Now she says she would pay her friend to allow her to work on her stall! “The tickets sell like hot cakes, so it's the best way of making sure I can get to the five-day festival in June,” she points out.Nick Hendon has been going to the Cambridge Folk Festival, which takes place over a long weekend in summer at Cherry Hinton Hall, for over twenty years. His favourite festival area is the Club Tent where, as well as the invited artists, members of the audience (观众) can get up and perform. “My wife usually takes part. She has a beautiful voice,” he saysproudly.Joan Mitchell does her best to get to the International Eisteddfod, a dance and music festival which takes place every year during the second week of July in Wales. The festival is also famous for the final Sunday Evening Gala concert which usually has someof the biggest names in opera (歌剧) as guest performers. “I've seen Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, James Galway and Montserrat Caballe, but no one could ever match up to Luciano Pavarotti.He was truly breathtaking!”Graham Crosby tries to get to as many concerts as possible during the eight-week summer season of the Proms festival every year. The Proms is the largest classical (古典的) music festival in the world. “The atmosphere (氛围) is much more relaxed than at other classical concerts. In fact, the audience sometimes behave more like rock fans, jumping up and down to the music, which is really exciting.”33. According to Debby Harris, she _____.A. runs a food stall during the festivalB. gets the ticket for the festival from her friendC. doesn't like working for her friendD. doesn't need to buy a ticket to get to the festival34. Who enjoys an event in which festival-goers can take part?A. Graham Crosby.B. Debby Harris.C. Nick Hendon.D. Joan Mitchell.35. Which festival lasts the longest time?A. The Proms festival.B. The Glastonbury Festival.C. The International Eisteddfod.D. The Cambridge Folk Festival.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。

My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative (权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart (使我胆战心惊). And everyone else's of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination thatI wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.To everyone's surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year.I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to be my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking (激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leaveSingaporefor thePhilippineswhere she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.21. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was _____.A. proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded22. What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Win her favor.B. Embarrass her.C. Argue with her.D. Follow her closely.23. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B. Miss Vicki's jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vicki's class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.24. What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?A. She was dismissed from the school.B. She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.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。
