The question, however, is “What is real happiness?” The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.Generally, ordinary beings consider sensual（感觉的）pleasures as happiness, and their actions are directed toward gaining these. According to them, searching for happiness means searching for pleasures of the senses. The question, “What is happiness?”, does not arise（出现）in their hearts, because in their hearts they think of a life full of sensual joys as a happy life.Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in the objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in the imagination.” To prove their belief they give examples like the following one. A man has a two-storey house. When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys or more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions（占有物）, but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy.If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really become happy.Some ask people to do this or that, and say, “This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定) of such satisfaction.61. What kind of life can make common people feel happy?A. Life without pain and grief.B. Life full of sensual pleasures.C. Life with desire for possessions.D. Life full of imagination.62. The underlined word “cottage” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.A. a house in one’s imaginationB. a modern buildingC. a desired objectD. a small house63. The author may agree that ________.A. by comparing themselves with the poor, people will feel happyB. people won’t feel happy without a desire for happinessC. possessing wealth may lead to a sense of prideD. people have to experience pain and grief before finding happiness64. The best title for this passage would be “________”.A. What Is Happiness?B. How to Get HappinessC. Happiness and DesireD. Happiness and ImaginationBFor the past two years, 8－year－old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠)．His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related—from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire（独粒宝石）tables—sourced, purchased and processed by the mini－CEO himself.“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told The Mirror.With profits now in the thousands, “the world's youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.Harli launched Marble King after swapping（交换）marbles at school led to schoolchildren depleting(削减) his marble collection. Yes, he literally（确切地）“lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble－selling website and orders started pouring in.Tina says her son's obsession(迷恋) with marbles started when he was just 6.“His obsession became so big we started calling him the Marble King, so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it，” she told The Sun.“I never thought it would become so popular—we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”The 8－year－old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's big gest marble shop and open stores around the world.” Tina told The Daily Mail.“At the minute he is annoying me by asking about creating his won Marble King marbles, so that could well be the next step for him.”65. Why did Harli's marble company become popular as soon as he launched it?A. Because it was run by “the world's youngest CEO”．B. Because it filled the gaps of marble business.C. Because Harli was fascinated with marble collection.D. Because his mother and brothers helped him a lot.66. How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.67. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined expression “scale back”？A. make smallerB. carry outC. turn downD. frighten away68. What message do the last two paragraphs carry?A. Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.B. Harli's mother and brothers are worried about Marble King's future.C. Marble King marbles will be more popular with marble fans around the world.D. The “Marble King” has great ambitions for his Marble King Company.CA speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components（组成部分）. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you，your speech and your audience focused.What a goal isIn the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes toaccomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question（正被讨论的）.Why a goal is importantWithout a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech's goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.A goal is incredibly important to the speech's ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech's goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won't know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.______________If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口统计) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……结束）. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有争议的）, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.69. According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine?A. Informing, delivering and entertaining.B. Informing, persuading and entertaining.C. Informing, writing and delivering.D. Informing, writing and persuading.70. The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be ________.A. to persuade the audience to vote for a candidateB. to celebrate the life of a person you admireC. to entertain the audience with humor and magicD. to persuade the audience to buy new products71. All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that ________.A. a speech will lose its direction without a goalB. a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speechC. a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writingD. a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life72. Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph?A. How to achieve a speech goalB. How to deliver a difficult speechC. What to consider to establish a goalD. What to consider to deliver a speechDOnce when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the primeval（原始的）forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒蛇) in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole without chewing（嚼）it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）.”I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered：“Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need tohave things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.The grown-ups' response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of ba constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another profession（职业）and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.In the course of this life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge and golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.73. The writer drew his first picture in order to ________.A. show the grown-ups what the book was aboutB. frighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestC. remind himself of the adventures of the jungleD. illustrate（说明）a boa constrictor's act of digesting an animal74. How did the writer understand the grown-ups' response to his second drawing?A. He was actually only good at academic study.B. It was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.C. He had difficulty in communicating with the adults.D. He was good at anything but geography.75. The underlined word disheartened in Paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by________.A. discouragedB. dissatisfiedC. discoveredD. disturbed高二年级上学期英语阶段测试参考答案单选1-5 ABDAC 6-10 DCABD 11-15 BADBC 16-20 ADAAD 21-25 ACCBA 26-30 ACDAC 31-35 DBCDD 36-40 CBBAC 完形41-45 ADABA 46-50 CDBAD 51-55 CBCDC 56-60 ABBBD 阅读61-64 BDCA 65-68 BDAD 69-72 BADC 73-75 DBA。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge (挑战 ) for Chinese highschool students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual( 一年一度的 )national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance examlast Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学 ),history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1. 33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and betterjob opportunities.Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a. m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “ I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life ,which could decide my future, ” Park said. Theexam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围 ) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quietsurroundings. Tooting (演奏 ) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term.

The 21st Century Digital Film on Campus Project was launched at the end of September. The ticket will cost 3-8 yuan, rather than 30-40 yuan at cinemas in town. Students often download movies online or watch DVDs. Now they can enjoy original films in the digital cinema. The digital cinema will show a variety of films other than Hollywood blockbusters (好莱坞大片 ).Getting practicalAll 12,000 graduates from vocational school in Shanxi Province have landed a job, according to the provincial government. In the past five years, it is estimated that over 95 percent of the professional school graduates have found jobs. However, the number for university graduates is 70 percent.

A country’ s standard ofefore,living,depth e rnds first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth.“ Wealth ” in this sense is not money, for we do no on money but on things that money can buy:“ goods” such as food and clothing, and“such as transport and entertainment.A country ’ s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have aneffect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’ s natural resourc as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA isone of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders,her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off asthe USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for thisand other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, andfreedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully andsteadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country ’peoples. Old countries thathave, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are betterplaced to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produceswealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin( 富余)for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turnout more goods in their working day.66. What is the “standard of living”?67. A country’ s wealth depends upon______.68.The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.A.the Sahara Desert is a very poor regionB.a country ’ s wealth depends on many factorsC.the USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the worldD.natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country69.What does the underlined word “her”in Paragraph 3 refer to?70.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is Not True?A.Wealth can produce wealth.B.We should suffer from civil and external wars.C.We should have more skilled people to use the natural resources.D.We should have sound and stable politics and be free from foreign invasion.牛津译林版高中英语必修五高二上学期月考试题英语试题ⅣWriting（45 marks）Section A （10分）Directions:Read the following passage and fill in the chart with suitable words or phrases according to the passage. (Notice: Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each blank)Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’ re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefit from it.One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you againstthe negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves.Although we can’ t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of themost commonly used therapies (疗法 ) among cancer patients.Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release ofendorphins (内啡肽 ), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.Love the benefits of laughter but don ’ t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you ’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefitsof laughter into your life. You can try the old recommendations:Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny.Spend time with an amusing friend.Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have madeyou laugh in the past.Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.Title: The benefits of 71 .______Benefits◆Mental benefits*72.______ you against the negatives of your life*Making you feel less lonely and more 73. ______ about yourself◆*Helping to lead a healthy life*Being commonly used to treat 75. ______*76. ______ the oxygen-rich blood flow in yourbody Recommendationsto bring laughter*Read a funny book, or watch 78._______.*Spend time with 79.______.*Look on the 80. ______ — go to places that have made you laugh*Join the “ laughter movement” while fighting stressConclusion.Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful benefits.Section B (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage.I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch（牧马场） in San Ysidro.The牛津译林版高中英语必修五高二上学期月考试题英语试题last time I was there he shared a story with me. “ It is a story about a young man who was the of an itinerant horse trainer.

He stated,‘ You can keep the F and I’ ll keep my dream.‘”John continued, “Itell you this story because you are sitting in the middle of my 200-acrehorse ranch.

It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a conflict. Then the long collaboration（合作）fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s tool box. “I’m looking for a few days’ work”he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jo bs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?”“Yes,” said the e lder brother. “I do have a job for you.”“Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor; in fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better.”“See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence —so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”The older brother had to go to the town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was n o fence there at all. It was a bridge — a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. “You are quite a fellow to bu ild this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand.They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the e lder brother. “I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, but I have many more bridges to build.56. The underlined sentence I’ll do him one better means .A. I’ll make a better creekB. I’ll mak e a better bridgeC. I’ll do all things betterD. I’ll do something to separate us completely57. The process of the two brothers’ relationship changing is .A. collaboration→misunderstanding→major difference→quarreling→no talking→collaborationB. collaboration→misunderstanding→no talking→quarreling→major difference→collaborationC. collaboration→misunderstanding→quarreling→major difference→no talking→collaborationD. collaboration→quarreling→major difference→misunderstanding→no talking→collaboration58.

The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes band (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to you. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes,it’s not. The most difficult is your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult n ot to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.61. What can we infer from the passage?A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.B. It is impossible to buil d up one’s body by climbing.C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.62. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is __________.A. to tie ropes to yourB. to control your fearC. to move away from the wallD. to climb straight up63. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means _________.A. settlementB. exerciseC. excitementD. tiredness64. Which of the following is True?A. A climber needs special shoes and ropes only when climbing.B. A beginner’s wall must be 15 feet high.C. On the wall, there are small pieces of mental.D. During the climbing, you should move quickly until you reach the top65. The main purpose of the passage is_________.A. to tell people where to find gyms.B. to prove the basic need for climbingC. to encourage people to climb mountains.D. to introduce the sport of wall climbingCHarvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp ('虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called "shrilk." It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible if it is used for products demanding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.66. The first paragraph of this passage is mainly about shrilk's ___________.A. remarkable designB. interesting nameC. major featuresD. basic elements67. What has become a concern about plastic?A. Using it properly.B. Producing it cheaply.C. Developing its properties quickly.D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.68. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because____________.A. it can help plastic degradeB. it can be found in living thingsC. its mass production has been realizedD. its raw materials are abundant in nature69. What are the inventors doing in the lab?A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.70. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Recent Progress in Environmental ProtectionB. Benefits of Insects in Scientific ResearchC. The Harm of One-time ProductsD. A Possible Alternative to PlasticPart Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks )Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Sharing your feelings helps you when your feelings are good and when they aren't so good. And before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out what feelings you have.Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing it out on a piece of paper or even by drawing pictures. Is something bothering you? Does it make you sad or angry? Doyou feel this emotion only once in a while or do you feel it a lot of the time?When you're trying to figure out your feelings, it might help to remember something that happened and think about how it made you feel. This can help you figure out your own feelings.The way a person feels inside is important. It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. If you keep feelings locked inside, it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone who cares for you, you will almost always start to feel better. Now there is someone else who knows what’s bothering you and can help you find solutions. It is important to share feelings when a kid needs help. You don’t have to solve every problem on your own. Sometimes you need help. And if you do, talking about your feelings can be the first step towards getting it.Once you know who you can t alk with, you’ll want to pick a time and place to talk, especially when you want to have a private talk. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what is on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right a way, try explaining it a different way or give an example of what is concerning you.But what if a kid doesn’t want to talk with your mom or dad? Then find another trusted adult, like a relative or a teacher at school. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problem or concern.Title: 71.

Never lock yourself in for any reason! Never lose hope! Never forget the faith of trusting yourself. Be a reason for other’s smile and sow hope in their hearts you’ll reap happiness in yours.”She folded the letter and put it on the envelope to discover that inside was a window seat ticket. And so it went…she traveled and told the story to everyone she met. And when she was asked about the extra money she had, she replied.“From that day on, I took it as my duty, half for me and half was to be a reason for someone’s happiness.”81.

The mother can do nothing but stand behind the boy, depressed.It is the exact reflection of lack of communication between parents and children. Several reasons contribute to it. First, the Internet provides us with a place where we can communicate with different people, in which case we are addicted to the virtual world and keep our distance from people around us. Besides, pressure from study drives us to seek excitement on the Internet. Also, parents, busy with their work, spare little time to stay with their children.As far as I’m concerned, some effective measures should be taken by parents and children. In terms of children, we should cut back on the time when they play computers and be aware of the negative effects of the Internet. Parents and children should exchange their ideas and feelings regularly.听力材料：Text 1M: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?W: Well, when exactly?M: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.W: I’m sorry, but my family is going out this weekend.Text 2W: How do you feel about your moving to Los Angeles, Jack?M: Well, I’m really looking forward to it.

The quickest way to get around London is no doubt ‘the tube’, London’s way of saying the Underground train. The tube is made up of twelve lines, each bearing a name and a color on the tube map. For example, the Central Line is red. And as its name suggests, it runs from east to west, taking in central London. The Circle Line is yellow, and is the only line which runs in a complete circle. About 2.5 million people use the tube each day. If you want to travel fast around London, taking the tube will get you to wherever you want quicker than bus or taxi. Trains generally leave every 3 or 4 minutes, less frequently at weekends and late at night. There are maps at each station, as well as inside each train, to make sure that you can see where you are going and that you are on the right train. If you find yourself going in the wrong direction, simply get off at the next station and cross the platform to the other side. Every train will show its direction on the front of the train. So, it is a good idea to look at the train as it is coming into the station.。

AIn 2006, I was swimming off Sunrise Beach with some friends and my brother Taariq, on a life-saving exercise.Two guys stayed in the boat while Taariq and I swam out. Then something caught my eye – a large shark fin heading towards my brother. I shouted to the guys in the boat to get Taariq out andI tried to draw the shark’s attention away from my brother by hitting the water. It w orked. But now the shark was swimming towards me.As the three-metre “great white” circled me, I tried to push it away with my feet. Butthat only made it angry. It swung its body round, making a huge splash.The boat was nearer now, and Taariq grabbed my hand and started pulling me out. He held my injured leg, trying to stop the bleeding. I didn't know it, but halfway down my leg there was nothing left.After I left from the hospital, I felt angry about what had happened to me at first. But my brother told me not to give up on life. I followed his advice and less than two years later I was chosen to attend the 2008 Beijing Paralympics (残运会).41. The writer started hitting the water in order to __________.A. tell his brother a shark was approachingB. ask the people on the boat for helpC. show the shark he wasn’t afraidD. get the shark to swim away from his brother42. In what order did the following events take place?a. My lungs felt as if they were on fire.b. I was close to blacking out.c. The shark circled around me.d. I started hitting the water.e. The shark made a huge splash.A. d, c, e, a, bB. d, e, c b, aC. e, d, a, c, bD. c, d, a, b, e43. The underlined expression “I’m not going down…” is closest in meaning to ________.A. I won’t get out of the waterB. I won’t be defeatedC. I refuse to co-operate(合作)D. I cannot disappoint others44. Which of the following best describes the writer?A. Clever.B. Foolish.C. Lucky.D. Careless.BChildren who spend more than two hours a day at a computer or watching television are more likely than others to have mental problems, scientists say.Researchers found that 11-year-olds who spent several hours in front of a screen each day did worse on mental health tests, no matter how much physical exercise they got.The study found no direct evidence that sitting in front of a screen actually causes mental health problems. Instead, it suggests that children with difficulties, such as extreme shyness, are more likely to choose TV or computer games than sociable activities.In the study, children were asked whether they agreed, disagreed or somewhat agreed with a list of statements, including, “I generally play alone or keep to myself” and, “I am often u nhappy,or tearful”. They were also asked how much exercise they took and how long they spent at a TV or computer screen.Previous studies have raised concerns that watching too much television can affect children's behaviour in later life. A Canadian study found that those who watched most TV as young children performed worse at school, ate more junk food and had more trouble concentrating.45. What is the passage mainly about?A. It describes the reasons people watch television.B. It reports the findings of a scientific study.C. It discusses ways to improve children’s physical health.D. It advises parents on raising their children.46. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By reviewing children’s records online.B. By interviewing childre n’s parents.C. By watching children in their home.D. By asking children questions.47. Which problem linked with watching too much TV is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Poor concentration in school.B. Bad eating habits.C. Getting angry.D. Mental illness.48. How can children improve mental health according to the passage?A. Limit TV and computer use to less than two hours a day.B. Get more physical exercise.C. Play more educational computer games.D. Go to bed earlier each night.CThe Dutch did not invent windmills(风车), but they put them to good use, drying flooded fields to create more farmlands.Unlike history’s first windmills in Persia centuries ago, which were used to make flour, these machines were pumping systems, bringing up water for families and farm animals from deep underground.In the U.S.A, windmills were introduced to desert lands around the railroads, which needed water along the tracks for the steam engines. Farmers quickly borrowed the idea and bought a lot of windmills.These days, you can see hundreds of wind turbines(涡轮机) on top of some California mountains, where the wind always --- or at least most of the time --- steadily blows.A collection of 3,300 wind turbines on one Californian mountain draws enough energy to supply the power needs of a whole city.While windmills drive water pumps, wind turbines make electricity that goes directly into the electric system. Electricity companies have discovered the same strength of wind power that farmers learned a century ago: the wind is a wonderful, non-polluting energy source.You never run out of it, and the price cannot be beat.49. Who invented the first windmills?A. The Dutch.B. The Persians.C. The Californians.D. Turbine owners.50. Windmills in the U.S.A. were first used to ________.A. get waterB. dry fieldsC. create electricityD. make flour51. Why are wind turbines often built on mountain tops?A. The land is cheaper.B. The air is cleaner.C. The weather is better.D. The wind is steadier.52. Which is mentioned as an advantage of wind power?A. Easy to create.B. Requires no workers.C. Good for the environment.D. Better for cities.DAdults who choose to stay home and teach their children often don’t agree with standardized testing, grouping students by age rather than ability, and passing them ahead to the next grade whether or not they've grasped the material.In home-schooling households, it's not unusual to find several children, ages 4 to 16, beingtaught together. Older kids help younger ones, as they once did in those one-room schoolhouses.Critics point to home teachers' lack of experience and qualifications. And they argue that pulling kids out of school may stop them developing social skills.But home-schooling parents don’t think that their children are separated from other children and become bookish. They are, the parents say, simply hard workers who go to church meetings, play sports, and shop at malls right alongside their friends who go to school.53. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are about 5 million school-age children in the US nowadays.B. Until 1918, school-age children were all taught by their parents at home.C. In the 1980s, home-schooling came back because of religious reasons.D. One-room schoolhouses were once popular in city centers.54.
