Diagnosedwith diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he hadno health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity〔慈善机构〕, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables."Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."56. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.B.He studies the leading caue of diabetesC.He has a positive attitude to this disease.D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.57. Diabeitcrockstar was created for _________.A. diabetics to communicateB. volunteers to find jobsC. children to amuse themselvesD. rock stars to share resources.58. According to the text, Kody ______.A. feel lonely because of his illnessB. benefits from diabeticrockstarC. helps create the online kid’s forumsD. writes children’s stories online59. What can we learn about Fight It?A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficluties.B. It orgamozes parties for volunteer once a year.C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.D. It owns a well-known medical website.60. The lsat paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.A. works full-time in a diabetes charityB. employs 22 people for his websiteC. helps diabetics in his own wayD. ties to find a cure for diabetesBScience 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 all-round good cheer.Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2021 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 released (放松)aroundPets, says Al len, 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 Northwesterm Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 fat 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 than15% 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.61．What does the text mainly discuss?A．What pets bring to their ownersB．How pets help people calm downC．people’s opinions of keeping petsD．Pet’s value in medical research62．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if____________A．he has a pet companionB．he has less stress of workC．he often dose mental arithmeticD．he is taken care of by his family63．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.64．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 unhelpful65. With pets in the room ,why did people also make fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions?A. The scientists have known the answer.B. People are still not sure about the answer.C. The answer isn’t mentioned in the passage.D. Because pets can’t judge.CHave you ever heard the old saying, "Never judge a book by its cover"? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力) of others .Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations .A young person with an unusual gift in writing may find himselfspeechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks .He may not be able to find the right words . But don't make mistake of thinking him stupid, with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody. Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this: you can't judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine (测定) a person's intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反响) to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge a book by its cover.66. The passage suggests that ____ .A. a good writer may not be a good speakerB. a good writer is always a good speakerC. a speechless person always writes wellD. a good writer will find himself speechless67. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and take notes in class___A .is an intelligent student B. may not be an intelligent student C. will score better in exams D. will not be a good student68. The passage suggests that we should judge a person's intelligence through ______ .A. his teachersB. his deeds in the classroomC. his appearanceD. his reaction to different situations69. What does the underlined word mean here?A. recognizingB. thinking ofC. estimating …..to be better than it isD. learning about70. The writer of this passage wants to tell us ______ .A. not to judge a book by the coverB. not to make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidC. not to overestimate a student's intelligenceD. not to judge person’s intelligence by his appearanceDAmerican culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world…..What is more,these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.From 1607 to 1892,frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land ofpromise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism(个人主义), serf-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their unmarried children. The people in America have a strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.71.American culture is unique, because of the following factors except____________.A. hard environmentB. ethnic diversityC. plural religionD. advanced modernization72. We can learn from this article that _______________A. the frontiersmen left important society values for American cultureB. the early immigrants brought about the unique American cultureC. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique cultureD. the American family members don’t get along well with each other73. What’s the author’s attitude towards American culture?A. He is critical of it.B. He admires it very muchC. He just states the factsD. He looks down upon it.74. The last paragraph is about _____________________A. the family structure in American societyB. the influence of the three elements in the current American societyC. the new life style of American familyD. the reason why American people like to change residences75. What might be the most suitable title of this article?A. The Immigrants in AmericaB. Why American Culture Is UniqueC. The Influence of American CultureD. Plural Religion and American Culture卷 II 书面表达〔一共两节，满分是45分〕第一节阅读表达〔一共5小题；每一小题3分，满分是15分〕阅读下面短文并答复下列问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上〔请注意问题后的词数要求〕Have you ever had this terrible experience—lost in the mountains, you pick up your mobile phone to phone up for help and find it’s out of power? Feeling desperate ?Not ,if you have a special bag on your back.Scientists have built a backpack that turns the spring in your step into electricity for your cellphone. And they say, it’s more comfortable than the average backpack.Inventors designed the backpack to make use of the natural up-and-down motion of a pers-on’s stride(大步) to produce electricity, either for immediate use or for storage.“As humans walk ,they vault over their extended leg, causing the hip to rise five to seven centimeters on each step. Since the backpack is connected to the hip, it must be lifted five to seven centimeters,〞 said Lawrence Rome of the University of Pennsylvania.“It is this vertical movement of the backpack that ultimately powers the electricity generation.〞The backpack consists of two main parts—a rigid frame strapped to the wearer’s back and a load plate suspended from this frame by springs. As the person walks along, the load plate slides up and down the frame.Attached to the load is a toothed bar that turns the gear of a generator affixed to the frame. As the bar turns the generator’s gear, it generates up to 7.4 watts—enough juice to simultaneously power an MP3 player, aPDA, night vision goggles, a GPS locator, and a cellphone.The device—based on the metal frame once popular in hiking packs—addsjust six pounds to the normal backpack. Rome says that number will in future designs.The springy pack also decreased the amount of forceplaced on the subjects’ shoulders making the bag more comfortable .Because of this unexpected find, this technology could oneday be a part of everyday packs.76. What’s the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 15 words.)77. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?In the future, this technology will make this kind of backpack popularin our daily life due to the new find.___________________________________________________________________78. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 7 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 5 words.)79. What will the backpack be in the future according to this passage?And why?(Please answer within 30 words.)_____________________________________________80.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑ADuring my first day at senior high school, I met my new teacher. She looked at me and said, “I am happy to have an international student in my class.” I was very excited.One day, I came to the class about three minutes late, and she told me to write my name on a piece of paper and, beside it, the word “late”. In that way she could k now I was late for the first time. At first, I was embarrassed and angry. Then I did not complain because she taught me an important lesson: time is very valuable.I learned another important lesson during one of my classes —the day of the first exam. After I finished my exam, I did not review my answers because it was the end of the exam time. One week later, she returned my exam paper. I found that one of my answers was wrong. Even though the only choices were A, B and C, I chose D instead of C. I tried to explain my mistake to her, “I marked D though I knew C was the right answer.” However, she refused my request and told me, “I do believe you, but I am not going to forgive your mistake. This will encourage you to be more careful before you turn your pap ers in.” I was not expecting that from her, but she was completely right.1. The teacher told the writer to write his name to .A. force him to work hardB. test his writing styleC. make him angryD. tell him the importance of time2. Why did the writer choose D instead of C?A. D was the right answer.B. The exam time was short.C. It was just an accident.D. He didn’t know the right answer.3. The writer thought the teacher’s attitude to his request was .A. rudeB. badC. unexpectedD. wrong4. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To praise his teacher very highly.B. To show how strict his teacher was.C. To tell us to be careful in exams.D. To tell his experience of studying abroad.BSuccess in life depends to a great extent on what we mean by success . To some people money is the only real indication (象征) of achievement in the modern world . Their evaluation of success is based on the state of their bank balance and the power that goes with it. Their life is devoted to making money and they are at a loss to understand people whose ideas are different from their own . These are people , however , who consider their lives successful if they are doing what they enjoy doing though it may not bring them any great financial (财政) reward . A man who spends his time gardening might consider himself successful if the flowers blossomed and his trees gave fruits . Nursing , teaching , running a Youth Club all bring their own kind of success to those interested in them . Success can be found in painting a picture nobody will ever see , sailing a boat , watching the stars , collecting stamps—almost anything that involve personal efforts . The great thing is to believe that success is not necessarily public .5．Success in life is based on .A．personal gain B．personal effortC．the truth of success D．personal idea of success6．Painting a picture nobody will ever see may mean .A．that it is a failure . B．that the painter can make no money .C．a success to the painter D．that it is worthless .7．“They are at a loss to understand ” means that .A．they will lost something if they try to understand .B．They will lose their temper (脾气) to understandC．They are at a lower price to understandD．They do not understand8．What conclusion (结论) does the author draw ?A．A lot of money means success .B．Success can be personal as well as public .C．Success means personal enjoymentD．Success does not mean public devotion .CWhy do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. " What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's."This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.9. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect10. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life11. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lost12. We can know from the passage that ______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20D“What’s in a name?” According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal. Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a “Jennifer” more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don ’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names---like John and David, Mary and Sarah---have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longername. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of t heir first and middle names, like B.J. or R.C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar.What’s in a name? A word of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politi cian once said, “In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”13. When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles EXCEPT that ________.A. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaningB. you can name after a well-known personC. surname should be paid attention toD. you can create a name that is special14. The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means __________A. nicknameB. the first letterC. short formD. title15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Names have great significance to Americans.B. Names change when time goes by.C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.D. Roses smell sweet by any other name.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。

ALucille Clifton was the first African-American poet laureate(桂冠诗人)of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.Lucille Clifton was born in Depew, New York in 1936. She began writing poetry when She was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother，Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally stayed in the state of Virginia. Luci lle Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”．Lucille often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry is not traditional at all. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation and even less capitalization(首字母大写). Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted(折磨) and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art. 1. What can be learned from the passage?A. Lucille's parents influenced her a lot.B. Lucille's father often read poems to her.C. Lucille's mother published some poems.D.

A program called Kids Caféis helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs.At a community (社区) center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their afterschool program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,”Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Café program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half of parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. KidsCafé, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.“It’s good,”says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is unusual.”Her mother, Daffany Nance，has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids are getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity (慈善机构), Feeding America, started the national Kids Caféprogram in 1993. The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.Kids Cafébecame part of the afterschool program at this community center five years ago. Lori McFail heads the afterschool program. She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food.

There is a hot discussion across the country: does homework really improve school results? A growing number of educators say no.“We always think it is worth it,” says Kohn, “and homework will improve their school results and give them good study skills, but the research shows it is just not so. No study has ever found any academic benefit(学业上的成效) of assigning (布置) homework before kids are in high school. and even in high school the case is very weak.”But how could hours of reading, writing and solving math problems not help kids to learn? We asked tenth graders at the Galloway School, in Atlanta.“ I learn everything that I need to in class,” says 16-year-old Matt Ritchie. “And it is really unnecessary to do homework. It is just boring.”“If I listen in class and take good notes, I usually do well on tests,” explains his classmate Paige Solomon, “So I don’t think it is helpful—if anything, it just makes me kind of fearful of going to that class.”“I’m usually in a bad mood when I have a lot of homework,” says 16-year-old Carter Parder, “because I stay up later. And then I’m groggy the next day.”According to Kohn, even if kids learn a little through homework, the cost is too high. Homework may kill a student’s interest in learning. If kids seem to be sinking under a mountain of work, parents should intervene(干涉). Most adults wouldn’t want to work eight hours a day, and then come home to hours of extra work. Kids are no different.13. According to the passage, we know that Alfie Kohn _______ .A. is a high school teacher.B. is an expert in language study.C. does deep research into homeworkD. is a great novel writer.14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most students think homework is of great help to them.B. Kohn is the first person to prove homework is unimportant.C. Kohn thinks homework is helpful for college students.D. Parents should pay much attention to the homework of their children.15. The passage was written mainly to _________ .A. introduce the book The Homework MythB. point out the importance of homeworkC. show doing homework is a waste of timeD. show there is no need to assign homework第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
