英语试题第一部分:选择题部分(共三节,满分70分)第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AFamily FunNot only is Buffalo family-friendly, we’re also family-fun!

In what way are Hands-On Experiences and Make History the same?A. They are for animal lovers.B. They offer museum visits to kids.C. They are closely related to kids’ textbooks.D. They can buy souvenirs.B.One cold winter night in Shanghai, I was walking home at one in the morning after long tiring work. I was having trouble with my job in the bank. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up living there. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible danger. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets(毛毯).Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, all I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. When I reached home, I realized what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Now I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched carefully for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) come to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Chen?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help.4. One cold winter night, the writer felt _________ when she was back home after work.A. cold and happyB. lucky and helpfulC. excited and cheerfulD. disappointed and helpless5. What happened when the writer was running down the empty streets?A. She lost her wallet unknowingly.B. Someone had stolen her wallet.C. She was stopped by a garbage truck driver.D. She found some homeless people following her6. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. She heard someone call her name.D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.7. From the reading, we can infer that the writer_______________A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in ShanghaiC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankCFamily fights are never enjoyable. Whether you are dealing with a a loud sister or a stubborn (固执的) mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts(冲突) could be turned into chances to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions(情绪) can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious(无意识的). You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. You want your brother or sister to listen and care. But you always seem to forget that the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to. And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to ignore(忽略) most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of control, it will be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is a conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.8. The first three paragraphs mainly want to show that ____________.A. people had better avoid family fightsB. family members fight to control each otherC. family fights are easy to happenD. family fights can be turned into something positive9. In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ____________ .A. meet the need to be listened to firstB. make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC. ignore what others say in these emotional situationsD. stop saying anything when you feel you are giving orders10. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to __________.A. wait for a better moment to speakB. let the other person express his feelingsC. work on a written agreement firstD. move on to problem solving11. What does “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Ignoring most of the words.B. Listening for the right information.C. Expressing what they are feeling with words.D. Spending time listening to others.DChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn to improve their reading skills.“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,”Donna George said,“They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,”George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.”Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can tell reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not depend on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’job to help build that desire(渴望) in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.12. According to George, reading aloud to children______________.A.is parents’ first duty to their children.B.helps them correct mistakes.C.is helpful to their reading.D.can get children out of television’s attraction.13. The underlined word “distraction” (in Paragraph 4) means something that can ____________. A.improve children’s reading skills.B.help children form the right habit of reading.C.make children interested in reading.D.stop children concentrating on reading.14. What is important according to the fourth paragraph?A.Reading skills.B.Reading speed.C.Reading materials.D.Reading environment.15. The best title for the passage would be ___________.A.How to Improve Children’s Reading AbilityB.How parents Make Their Child a Better ReaderC.Children Spend More Time Reading With ParentsD.Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher第二节:阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The 47-year-old man from Niagara Falls was trapped in his car on the highway for almost eight days after his car was accidentally pushed to the side of the road and covered with snow by workers employed to remove the snow from the streets.Driving on the Interstate Highway 190 during the worst of the snowstorm, Mr. Hanson decided to stop his old 1993 V olkswagen Passat to the side of the road and wait for the weather conditions to improve. He remained motionless(一动不动)for approximately five hours before a snow plow arrived to clear the way. Unfortunately for the poor man, the driver of the giant snow removal vehicle did not see the small car, pushing it into the ditch(沟)and covering it with more than 2 meters of snow.Fortunately for the father of two children, the snow that was stacked over his vehicle was not very dense(浓密的)and allowed for enough fresh air to get through to enable him to survive. He was able to drink water that he got by melting snow with his lighter in an aluminum coffee cup, and he ate the few items of groceries he had bought before going home.“If I had known I would be trapped for eight days, I would have bought more than a jar of dill pickles(咸菜), a bottle of ketchup and two sticks of beef jerky(牛肉干),”said the survivor with a smile.Thomas Hanson had almost lost all hope of being rescued when his car was hit once again this morning by another snow plow, which revealed the poor man’s location.4.

Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili(辣椒) in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili and others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Former results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds (味蕾),too. But the latest study led by Professor John Hayes and his team from Pennsylvania State University has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality morethan anything else.But before you look at the study, you should first know tha t “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill(刺激), something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires(问卷)about certain characteristics of their personality, for example. Whether they like new and thrilling experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of spicy water mixed chili into it.By comparing the answers to questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water. Researchers found that those who were most likely to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can stand spicy food is that their tongue have become less sensi tive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn.” Hayes explained.8.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?A. dislikeB. fearC. put up withD. get used to9.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities.B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to(倾向于)be less interested in spicy food.D. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.10.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitive.B. Because they love the burning feeling.C. Because they want to challenge themselves.D. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.11.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality.B. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personality.C. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality.D. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality.DIt’s not easy being a teenager---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll refuse to talk. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off thephone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.12.
