And it can record your 42 .”Mobiles are now able to surf the net, send e-mails and 43 software. So they are easy 44 for the same hackers who have sent viruses to computers over the past decade.“It’s technically 45 now,” said Stephen Trilling, director of re-search at anti-virus 46 .“If the phone is connected to the 47 , it cant be used to transmit threats and 48 just as any computer can. ”In Japan, if you opened a certain e-mail message 49 your mobile, it would cause the phone to repeatedly 50 the national emergency number.So phone operators had to 51 emergency calls until the 52 was removed.In Europe, mobile’s short message service, 53 ,SMS, has been used to send codes that could damage 54.Mobile users can 55 virus, of course, by sticking to their traditional phones without Web links, some experts said.36．A．get B．force C．make D．damage37．A．speak B．talk C．tell D．say38．A．lead B．cause C．control D．call39．A．off B．out C．down D．on40．A．interested B．angry C．excited D．terrified 41．A．messages B．passages C．news D．information42．A．voice B．passwords C．music D．address43．A．make B．destroy C．download D．develop44．A．jobs B．tasks C．subjects D．targets45．A．impossible B．possible C．useful D．valuable 46．A．hardware B．software C．computer D．equipment 47．A．computer B．television C．Internet D．radio48．A．strike B．visit C．hit D．attack49．A．in B．by C．on D．with50．A．send B．dial C．count D．press51．A．cancel B．ban C．stop D．prevent52．A．bug B．mistake C．fault D．e-mail53．A．and B．nor C．or D．but54．A．recorders B．computers C．TVs D．phones55．A．stop B．avoid C．kill D．find第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ABesides giving off gases and dusts into the air, humans produce waste that is poured on the environment. Often, this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life.One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how large a problem it is. Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill（废渣填埋场），the problem is often believed to end there. In addition, industries have often shown an unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the re-lated expenses. Many industries and governments build simple landfills to store waste, and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water. Often, chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past, but it is often difficultand expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way safe to human life and the environment.Every year, major health problems result from dangerous waste. Sadly, it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste.Some governments have realized how serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of dangerous waste, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one third using existing technologies and methods.56．What would be the best title for the text ?A．Measures of Reducing Dangerous WasteB．Danger of Harmful Waste to MankindC．Dangerous Waste and Water PollutionD．Environmental Protection57．According to the text, people ________.A．do not produce harmful waste in their daily lifeB．do not know where to place the dangerous wasteC．are not clear about how serious the dangerous waste problem isD．are not sure about where harmful waste endsBYou have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority （大部分）of people travelled in vehicles（车辆）drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.Today for the most part, people travel by trains, airplanes, and cars, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are all propelled by engines and an engine does not have any common sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine the driver must do all the things.In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive safely, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety in the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.60．The passage as a whole is about _________.A．safe driving B．enginesC．using horses D．modern machines61．Although not directly said, it can be reasoned（推理）from the passage that _______.A．an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examinationB．a driver must know the rules of safetyC．a driver needs to be able only to tell red from greenD．greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine62．Which of the following is NOT true? ______.A．The driver of a car must follow the rules of safetyB．A driver must be able to see and hear wellC．It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engineD．Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injuryCBritish society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes—the Upper Class, the Middle Class, and the Lower or Working Class. This is known as the Class system and it is important to know something about it if you want to understand British people and society. Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意识到）of it. Most people know which class they belong to by the way they speak, their clothes, their interests or even the type of food they eat.Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes. For example, although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not make a person upper class. It is also important to come from a particular kind of family, have friends who are considered suitable, have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class, because their family background, education, political opinions, etc. are different from those of most working-class people. Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way.63．According to the passage, you cannot judge an Englishman’s social class by _________.A．where he was born B．the way he speaksC．the clothes he wears D．the interests he has64．If an Englishman has much money, __________.A．he belongs to the middle classB．he must be a member of the upper classC．he is not likely to be from the upper classD．he may buy an upper class title with the money65．What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ________.A．Many rich people do not belong to the upper classB．Today many British people do not like the class systemC．Many poor people do not consider themselves as lower classD．An Englishman’s social class is determined by many factors（因素）66．According to the passage, the idea of the class system in Britain _________.A．exists only in the mind of foreigners B．is deeply rooted in the British peopleC．is now under severe attack D．is regarded as a long systemDThere is no place like home—as long as it is far enough away, it seems.Britain has become a nation of nomads（流浪者），with nearly half of us living more than 100 miles from the town or village where we grew up, research shows.The trend is being fuelled by the Internet, better communications and property wealth.People who move away fit into four separate categories—Sheep, Hens, Cows or Pigs.Sheep are people who change home for economic and emotional peace. Hens are home and environment care-seekers. Cows are career or work shifters, while pigs are people caught up in grand parental support. It is far from the common believed idea of Coronation Streets, where close-knit generations of the same family live within a few streets of each other throughout their lives. Less. Than 20 percent of people now live in the town where they were born. Instead, young adults move away to find work, get married or seek adventure.Many use the Internet to work from a home which need not be within easy traveling distance of their workplace.Also joining the moving crowd are older people who either move to be near grandchildren or retire to new homes.One in ten of those who do make away makes a complete break, and now lives 500 miles or more from where they grew up.Women are likely to leave as men, a sign of independence that would not have excited in the 1950s and 60s.People in the North-East, North-West, Yorkshire and Scotland are the most likely to live in the community where they were born, the study found.67．According to the research in the passage, British people tend to ________.A．become more independent whenever they graduate or grow upB．live or work far away from where they were born or grew upC．live near their own homesD．become more close to each other68．Which of the following is not a reason for the trend mentioned in the text? _________.A．The wide use of Internet B．Improved communicationsC．People becoming richer D．More job opportunities69．Who are not likely to move away from home? ___________.A．Older people B．WomenC．People in Scotland D．Young people70．Which of the following can be regarded as a Cow? __________.A．A person who changes job oftenB．A person who leaves home because of family troubleC．A person who retires to a new homeD．A person who breaks away from his home第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。

For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my 21 was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next 22 I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so.

Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creationwill be nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to replacing it."Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful th at he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six work men spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. "The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door," he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxinghotel break. "It's great fun," B ergqvist explains, "as well as a good start in survival training."The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. "You can get a lot of people in," explains Bergqvist. "Thebeds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time."36. Bergqvist designed and built the world's first igloo hotel because ______A. he believed people would enjoy trying something newB. he wanted to make a name for the small townC. an art exhibition was about to openD. more hotel rooms were needed37. When the writer says "the fun will be over," he refers to the fact that ______A. hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard testB. Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of waterC. holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big iglooD. a bigger igloo will replace the present one38. According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ______A. to gather a pool of waterB. to prepare a wooden baseC. to cover the ground with iceD. to pile a large amount of snow39. When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that _____A. they have visited LaplandB. they have had an ice-snow holidayC. they have had great fun sleeping on iceD. they have had a taste of adventure40.

We can learn from the text that_______________.A. sports writers are a type of audienceB. New York Times is a gold mine companyC.

Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing or business, the lack of a common language can severely delay progress or can stop it altogether.Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major results, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or deadly accidents--even, at times, war. One reported example of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom.No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Possibly because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated (孤立的) examplesdo not give an impression of the size of the problem--something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 percent were for foreign language journals.The language barrier presents itself entirely to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its assumption (设想) that foreign buyers will be happy tocommunicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a matter to be considered first. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing letters; many had their sales language only in English; and as many as 40 percent employed no one who was able to communicate in the customer's languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, especially the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means free from the same problem--although the widespread use of English as an alternative (可替换的) language made them a bit more able to communicate with other countries.The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training projects have promoted an increase in language and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries (词汇表), to ensure consistency (一致性) when material is being translated. It is now much more readily accepted that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or ruined by a failure to take the language needs of the customer into consideration.46. Communication problems may come to the attention of the public when ______.A. somebody has diedB. a serious traffic accident has happenedC. serious results have been causedD. people have trouble in travelling47. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 2?A. doctorB. mushroomC. poisonD. treatment48. What can we infer about American doctors from the case of the poisonous mushrooms?A. They probably only read reports written in English.B. They hadn’t read that report of the treatment.C. They didn’t know how to treat such a case.D. They were unable to get reports written in other languages.49. Firms of English-speaking countries use English only when marketing their products because ______.A. English is their official languageB. they don’t know their products will be sold abroadC. people in their countries don’t know other languagesD. they think foreign customers will be happy when English is used50. Which of the following ways has been used by the British companies to solve the problem of language barrier since the 1960s?A. Employing foreign workers.B. Setting up their own translation services.C. Providing English training for foreign customers.D. Stopping exporting goods to foreign countries.D．Mo was waiting in the corridor outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had tow exams that day and physics was first .She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Terry Looked back at her from the front of the line, and then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. She didn't have a problem with physics ,She didn't have a problem with anything ...Miss Perfect!"Hi ,Mo,it's your foavourite exam today "said Nima ,laughing as she joined the line .Terry was looking at Mo again ."So what's wrong with her?” asked Nima. “I thought you were friends."

Oh no, Mo hadn't answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!Mo wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time, but she couldn't find her anywhere. The next exam was history. That was Mo's favourite subject but she wasn't feeling good. Mo went to the library to study, but she couldn't concentrate. She didn't know what to do about Terry. She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. "It wasn't fair! " she thought. "Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time. " thought Mo. Just then, Mr. Reed walked past her table. "Mr. Reed. . . "Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mo was feeling terrible. Why had she told Mr. Reed? But it was too late now. And anyway, Terry didn't want to be her friend! Mr. Reed wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam. She was working on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table withou t thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was too busy looking at her phone and she didn't hear himas he walked silently up to her table. Mr. Reed didn't say anything. He jus picked up her exam paper, tore it in half and pointed to the door, to tell Terry to leave the room. Terry was crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her and Mo felt really guilty now. Why did she tell Mr. Reed?Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. "Mo, please wait I want to talk to you." Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldn't say a word. “Listen," said Terry. "I'm really sorry I haven’t answered any of your calls, but we're having a terrible time at home. My dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and he's in hospital. He had a big heart operation today and I was very worried about him. I know it was stupid, but I was reading texts from my mum to see how the operation was going, but Mr. Reed caught me with my phone. He thought I was cheating. He believes me now, but I have to take the exam again. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was happening. I haven't forgotten that you're a good friend'. Will you forgive me?“51.

But, providing electricity is not the major advantage ofwaste-to-energy plants. In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at awaste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant.The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills. The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year. If all this waste were landfilled (在垃圾填埋地上处理), it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space. That’s the volume of a box three feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high. If that waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high!Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills. And, since most people don’t want landfills in their backyards, it has become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills. Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill.TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment. Like coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity. Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste. Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they are not properly controlled.Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍，阻碍) recycling programs. If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle. Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place. Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first.So, what’s the real story? Can recycling and burning waste coexist? At first glance, recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds (不一致), but they can actually complement (弥补) each other. That’s because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others.Let’s look at aluminum, for example. Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself. Burning it produces no energy. So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn.Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycled—it all depends on the price the used paper will bring.Plastics are another matter. Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas, they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants. This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper. Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials.To burn or not to burn is not really the question. We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling.Waste to Energy—JUST BURN IT!扬大附中2018-2019第一学期阶段测试高二英语试卷答案单选：DADCB BDBCA DBDBB完型：（淮阴中学2018届高三10月月考英语试题）BADBC ACDAB CDABC ADBDC阅读：A：（2001年全国高考英语试题）ABBDAB：（浙江省湖州市2018高考英语阅读理解一轮(暑假)精炼）BCABD C：（2018浙江高考一模冲刺提优卷）CDADBD：（2018杭州市第一次高考教学质量检测）BCACDB任务型阅读：56. cost 57. reduce / prevent / stop 58.

Indeed, every member of your staff, from the manager to the room-cleaning maid, was, without exception, extremely polite and helpful. The standard of the rooms was far beyond what I had expected.However, I found that the hotel restaurant stopped serving breakfast at 8:30am. As I was on holiday, I would have liked to take my breakfast at around 9:30, thus I was unable to do so. I also spoke to several other guests who expressed the same disappointment.In addition, I feel that if you could supply newspapers in Chinese, the quality of stay for Chinese speakers, of whom the number has been on a steady rise in the past few years, would be considerably enhanced.I would be happy to know if my suggestions can turn out to be useful in the constant improvement of your overall service.Yours faithfully,Ji Chen听力原文录音稿：Text 1M: Jane, do you have a map of Manchester? I want to find a good place to eat.W: Why not try Chinatown? There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants there, and it's near here.Text 2M: Let's do something different for vacation this year. Oh, let's go to Colorado. I want to learn to snowboard. W: Oh, Paul, you know I don't like cold weather. Can't we go someplace warm, like the beach?Text 3W: This job is for three days a week: Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Are you Okay with that?M: Mmm... I was hoping to have Saturday free. But I need the job, so... can you tell me what exactly I will do? Text 4M: Do you know if John's coming home for dinner?W: He'll be late. He said not to wait for him.Text 5W: I'm really tired from packing all these boxes for three hours. It's about time to call it a day.M: I know. Maybe we could do it first thing tomorrow morning.W: Why not? These orders are not urgent.Text 6M: Lisa? Hi!W: Hi, Ned.M: Don't you usually drive to work?W: Usually, but not in bad weather.M: Why is that?W: The traffic gets a lot worse when it rains or snows.M: I always take the train. It's a lot faster for me than driving.W: It's faster for me, too, but the time isn't always convenient.M: Yeah, but think of all the things you can do on the train----read a book or the newspaper...W: Or answer my email... No thanks! My workday is long enough already.Text 7W: I think the car we saw yesterday would be a good deal. What do you think?M: Yes, but I think you should ask someone to take a look at it just to be sure.W: My friend Jack knows cars, and he helped me do the check this morning.M: It was smart of you to think ahead. Have you and the salesman agreed on a price?W: Yes, he finally agreed to accept the discounted price I asked.M: Then have you thought about how to pay?W: Well, I've saved up enough money to pay cash for this car.M: Good. Let me go with you to make the payment and drive the car home for you.W: Thank you. That would make it much easier for me.M: You're w elcome. Let's go take care of that right now.Text 8M: Being away from home for college can be stressful. Besides all the pressures of study, there's the pressure on your pocket. Today, let's go to a university to find out. Excuse me. Can I ask you a few questions?W: Well, Okay.M: How do you find the cost of living in the city?W: Everything is expensive, including clothing, housing, and traveling.M: So, what do you spend most on?W: Transport, I think. For food, if I cook myself, it's not expensive at all. For clothing, I bring my clothes here from my home country, where they're nice and cheap. But every week, I have to spend more than 100 pounds on the trains.M: Then what's the social life like?W: I'm a very social person. I love hanging out with my friends and meeting new people. Thankfully, I don't drink nor smoke, so the only expense is maybe tickets to the cinemas, club, and so on.Text 9W: Can you fix a time for the next meeting, Alex? How about June 12th? That's after the trade exhibition.M: I thought something was happening on that day, Rebecca.W: Oh, yes. You're right. The people from Head Office are coming.M: What time does their plane arrive? Can we have the meeting in the morning?W: No, it's all arranged. I'm meeting them at half past ten, so I won't be available at all that day.M: Well, let's have the meeting earlier in June, then. The trade exhibition finishes on the third, doesn't it?W: Yes, but we need John's sales report for the meeting. How's it going?M: I'm afraid John hasn't started yet. The figures won't be in place till next week.W: Will it be ready early in June?M: Well, not really. He told me that he will finish them by June 10th.W: So, we're looking at the week starting the 17th. How about two o'clock on that day?M: I think that's Okay. Let's meet here again then.Text 10W: Hello, everyone. In today's program, I'd like to share a true story of mine. One day, my friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to brave the train to get car and go home. It was parked three blocks away. My friends argued I shouldn't go because at that time, I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I'd be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me, but I insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi stopped and a passenger came out with an umbrella . Before I knew what was happening , he walked right beside me and told me he would walk with me to where I would go. I refused, but he insisted. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked him, and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I'll never know.。
