"Angie, I know you like to sing," her father, a worker, told Angela Brown, "but you must have something to depend on."

Brown took her father's advice. She got a degree in secretarial science (秘书学) before entering Oakwood College, in Huntsville, Alabama. However, her aim was to become a singer at religious meetings. So after graduation she headed to Indiana University to

study with famous soprano (女高音) Virginia Zeani.

Once, when Brown was troubled by self-doubt, Zeani said to her, "If you want to be the next Aretha Franklin, you need no more lessons," Brown remembers her saying. "But

if

you want to be the best Verdian soprano this world has ever seen, you must work."

Work she did. Three times she competed in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions(试演). Three times she failed to make the final round in New York. Then, in 1997 at age 33, the age limit for sopranos to audition, she gave it one more try. She signed up at the last minute and didn't even practice, thinking, "All they could do was tell me no, and that didn't hurt my feelings anymore." She had the strength she needed to depend on if she failed.

She won. But making it to New York was just the beginning. It took her three more years to become an understudy(替角) at the Met. But waiting in the wings was fine with her. Finally, her time came. When the featured singer fell ill, Brown earned the chance to sing the leading role in Aida. And The New York Times described her performance as a great success. Angela Brown, who had prepared for 20 years, was an "overnight" successful singer at age 40.

60. The underlined part "Aretha Franklin" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to " "

A. another famous singer

B. an unsuccessful singer

C. one of Virginia Zeani's students

D. an understudy at the Met

61. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that Angela Brown .

A. was about to give up if she failed again in 1997

B. failed to make the final round because of her old age

C. failed many auditions because she hadn't practiced hard

D. cared much about the results of the audition in 1997

62. What contributes most to Brown's success according to the passage?

A. Her fathers' long-time support.

B. Her training in Oakwood College.

C. Her years of good preparation.

D. Her chance to be an understudy.

63. Which of the following sayings can best express the message of the passage?

A. No pains, no gains.

B. The early bird catches the worm.

C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

D. Never too old to learn, never too late to mm.

C

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily

高一英语期末考试卷第7 页（共15 页）

energy cycle.

During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (highest). For some peop1e the peak comes during the forenoon(午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why

this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(独白) as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for

work again." The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway, counteract(抵抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely(悠闲的)yawn(哈欠) and stretch(舒展). Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the

floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or attention for your sharper hours.

64. The underlined word "it" refers to the fact .

A. someone's energy peak is in the evening

B. someone doesn't feel most energetic

C. different people have different energy cycles

D. there is an energy cycle for everyone

65. If a couple quarrels, it is most probably because .

A. they are not sure when their energy peaks are

B. they refuse to follow each other's energy cycles

C. their energy peaks are at different time

高一英语期末考试卷第8 页（共15 页）

D. they don't know there are energy cycles

66. You are advised to get up earlier than usual to .

A. change your energy cycle

B. save your own energy

C. become active in the job

D. make better use of your energy

67. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Getting off to work with a slow start helps save one's energy.

B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.

C. Habit helps one become fit for his or her own energy cycle.

D. A family may have different energy cycles.

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming!

constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the

Gen-80s begin to make their world debut(初次登台).

Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle.

Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group.

Earphones

These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears.

Martian language

They have created their own code-like online language. It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.

Self-Portrait

Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A littl e bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.

Text-messaging

They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that

respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of

style.

How to use body language depends on the setting (环境) and who you are talking to.

You'll probably use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you're interested in. These are some common understanding of body language and more effective ways to communicate with your body.

First, to change your body language, you must be aware of your body language. Notice how you sit, how you stand, how you use your hands and legs, what you do while talking to someone. You might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback (反馈)on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.

Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel

高一英语期末考试卷第10 页（共15 页）

confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.

You might also want to observe some friends, movie stars or other people who you think have good body language. Observe what they do and they don't. Take bits and pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.

Some of these tips might seem like you are faking (做假动作) something。But fake it

till you make it a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more, you will feel happier。If you sit up straight, you will feel more energetic and confident. If you slow down your movements, you'll feel calmer.

72. We can learn from the passage .

A. more body language can make you popular

B. movie stars always have good body language

C. body language is not as important as language

D. body language should differ in different situations

73. What does the author think about practicing body language in front of a mirror?

A. Useless.

B. Helpful.

C. Interesting.

D. Foolish.

74. The underlined word "visualize" in Paragraph 3 means" ".

A. form something in one's mind

B. discuss with somebody

C. look in the mirror

D. practice again and again

75. What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph?

A. Learn more body language.

B. Try to stay calm all the time.

C. Don't hide your true feelings.

D. To fake feelings is a good way.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

The impressions you make in a job interview are a major factor that determines whether you will be hired or not. Here are some tips to help you:

Written impressions

When you send in your resume to apply for a job, along with a cover letter, you create

an initial(最初的) impression. Be careful of what you give. If you give the material that is

高一英语期末考试卷第11 页（共15 页）

carelessly done, you are creating an impression that you are the type of person who does everything that way.

Check samples for ideas. Take a look at some sample cover letters and resumes to see what impressions they would give you, if you were hiring that person.

Telephone impressions

Companies often do an interview over the telephone before bringing in a candidate（选手）for a personal interview.

Be prepared. It is good to have your resume and other material in hand for reference. You can even have a page of answers to typical questions to which you can refer.

Be friendly. A trick to improve your telephone impressions is to have a mirror by the phone. Look at yourself in the mirror and try to have a friendly and confident look on your face. Y our facial expression will be reflected(反映) in the sound of your voice.

Personal impressions

The impressions you make in your personal interview are the most important. Your personality is often more important than your knowledge and experience.

Be on time. Get to the location early and prepare yourself mentally. That is much better than rushing to get there just on time.

Be dressed properly. Make sure you are dressed properly.

Be confident. Walk in the room with confidence as a professional.
