期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare （兔子）and the tortoise （乌龟）．At the end I said，" Son，remember：Be slow and steady （镇定的），and that will win the race．Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise？"Sonny opened his eyes wide，"Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy，Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway？"I was shocked，"But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!""He must have wished that，" Sonny said，"Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare？He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did．" "He didn't have such a wish，" I insisted．"He won the race by perseverance （毅力），by pushing on steadily．"Sonny thought a while．"That's a lie，" he said．"He won it because he was lucky．If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep，the tortoise would never have won the race．He could be as steady as you like，or a hundred times steadier，but he'd never have won the race．That's for sure．"I gave up．Today's children are not like what we used to be．They're just hopeless．1.The writer argued （辩论）with his son because ______ ．A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral （品德）lesson but the son had totally differentopinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn't．2.The writer thinks that his generation （一代人）______ ．A. are cleverer than Sonny's generationB. have the same ideas about life as Sonny's generationC. are more hopeful than Sonny's generationD. have different ideas about life from Sonny's generation3.According to the passage，who do you think learnt a lesson？______A.

Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.Ideas for summer work:●Parks and Recreation Programs.●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.●Working part-time at a day care (日托) for the summer.●Car washing.●Working at local vegetable stands.The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others' inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or at least you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting .4.The passage is mainly written for______.A. teenagersB. teachersC. parentsD. website designers5.Which of the following is NOT considered when teenagers look for summer jobs?A. Who they'd better work for.B. How much should be paid.C. Whether the jobs are safe.D. Where the workplace is.6.What can we learn about ?A. The author set up the website.B. It gives information about educating children.C. People need to pay to visit the website.D. It offers ideas for children to make money.CMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer thinkleft-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.7.After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found_______.A. the art began from 1,500B. ;C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed8.What is the hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to find or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.10.The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The way to lift up your mood Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard，when there's nobody to talk to and the mood （情绪）is just getting worse and worse．(1)The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively．It's very hard，because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad things we have．But if you'll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee，the chances for changing your mood into better are very good．Just try to avoid bad thoughts．(2)(3) It could be something you wanted for a long time-a short trip，a coat，a ring or anything that could lift up your mood．It doesn't have to be costly，but it has to be good to yourself．Not only giving gifts to yourself can lift up your mood．(4) Think of your friends，family，relatives or even local charities （慈善机构），choose one person and give him a gift．It doesn't have to be something expensive or big．It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor's child．Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind．Take control of your feelings．Don't let them control you．(5) Just follow the advice above，and start doing something．A．Cry aloud if you feel it is necessary．B．Here are some things that may help you lift up your mood．C．Making yourself feel better isn't that hard．D．Buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy．E．Do your best to find someone to talk to．F．Instead，try to think about the bright side of your life．G．You should also try doing something only for yourself，something totally selfish．11.

On May 18.2、 B At a clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair belting out the Celine Dion's tune My Heart Will Go On. With little effort, she was able to send her sweet, high-pitched voice to every comer of the elinic. I had fun watching how people reacted. There was some shifting in seats, but mainly they turned away their eyes in embarrassment and tried to pretend there was nothing unusual. I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood test when the woman arrived. She tooka seat directly across from my dad. I was concerned about how my dad would react to the possible interaction on his ce. He was 77 and had been living with Alzheimer's for several years. He was a brilliant man of few words in public. When he was healthy, he considered it bad manners to bring more attention to oneself. Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. His smile was gone, and he was staring right at her. It seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn't an unusual state for him, and I wondered whether he was actually seeing her at all or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind, not really aware of her singing at that point. Her singing slowly got louder. By the time she got to the chorus-"near, far, wherever you are…", Dad looked a little surprised. Still, I watched for any sign of an angry outburst. Instead, his face softened, and the tension eased in his brow. He no longer looked confused. People say that Alzheimer's is a thief, and that it steals your loved ones slowly, day by day. There is so much heartbreaking truth in that statement. But certain experiences with my dad have allowed me to see a side of him that I never knew existed. That's what happened for me that day in the clinic. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. "That was beautiful, " he said. And she smiled and said, "Thank you."(1) How did people react to the elderly woman's singing at the clinic?A. They mainly looked away and ignored her.B. They politely signaled to her to stop singing.C. They all enjoyed her singing and sang with her.D. They felt quite annoyed and changed their seats.(2) Why was the author worried about his father's reaction to the singing?A. His father disliked Celine Dion's songs.B. His father was suffering from Alzheimer's.C. His father was easily angered by strangers.D. His father preferred silence in public places.(3) As the woman's singing got louder, the author's father's expression ___.A. remained the sameB. became more angryC. softened and relaxedD. showed more confusion(4) What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. I got to know that my father liked music.B. Alzheimer's steals many things from old people.C. This song helped me understand more about my father.D. Everyone with Alzheimer's has experienced some bad moments.3、 C Parenting styles have shifted over the years with the rapid changes in the world. Nowadays parents generally spend more time in finding out how best to raise their child whether it's through technology or tried-and-tested parenting practices. With easy access to countless websites and social media groups interested in parenting, modern parents are capable of finding answers to their questions, from managing a baby's cries to communicating with a moody teenager. This increased availability （可利用性） of resources has made parents more involved in their children's academic, emotional, and social development. They are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise well-behaved and confident children. A modern parenting style that has appeared is helicopter parenting, where parents are too much focused on their children. They help children with tasks that children can do on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them, or calling their teachers about homework matters. Such a parenting style can stifle the development of the children's ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as making the bed, clearing their plates or doing their schoolwork. Always protecting children from failures may also stop them from developing adaptability and gaining skills like problem-solving On the other hand, parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children were given more freedom to advice from their parents and neighbours, rather than by social media influences or parenting websites. manage their schoolwork and choose the friends they want to play with. In some families, children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework. Living in the pre-Internet era, parents were less informed about different parenting methods, and their parenting styles were guided more by their personalities, common sense and friendly There is no one right way to raise a child. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present, but not wandering, who are supportive but not controlling, and who protect but not care too much.(1) How does the increased availability of resources influence parenting style?A. It saves parents' much time spent on children.B. It makes parents more relaxed in raising children.C. It encourages parents to be less strict with their children.D. It enables parents to be more active in their children's development.(2) What does the underlined word TAL#NBSPstiflein Para 3 mean?A. Bring about.B. Hold backC. Take down.D. Set up.(3) What do we know about parents in the past?A. They educated kids in a strict way.B. They over-judged their kids' independence.C. They afforded kids more ce for self-growth.D. They tended to stay away from social activities.(4) What does the text mainly tell us?A. How parents raise all-round children.B. How people improve parent-child relationship.C. How parenting modes have changed over the years.D. How information technology affects people's lifestyles.4、 D Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn't imagine life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of many things that we used to think were completely necessary. The success of smartphones can be a model for dealing with climate change because they represent a different approach to design, which is to focus on function rather than form. This approach requires concentrating on understanding the problems, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. By adopting this mindset, we can completely change our thinking about energy efficiency （效率）. Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly been centered on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don't need the standalone （独立运行的） devices at all, because it can function as all of them. So when it comes to energy efficiency, instead of only installing more efficient heaters, we should focus on the desired function: warmth. Through creative designs like coating(给……涂层) our house, we can get rid of the need for heaters, significantly saving nearly 99% energy. Similarly, rather than merely tocusing on making cars more efficient, we should consider the desiredl function—transportation. By developing an efficient transportation system that reduces the need for private cars, we can achieve greater energy savings. The most energy-efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it's not thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.(1) What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?A. Choosing a simplest design.B. Combining possible functions.C. Perfecting individual instruments.D. Reducing the energy consumption.(2) According to the passage, what is the most important part of improving energy efficiency?A. Improving technologies.B. Using recyclable materials.C. Figuring out various solutions.D. Concentrating on the necessary needs.(3) What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?A. Inefficient.B. ClassicalC. Useless.D. Perfect.(4) Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Think out of the box.B. Differences make it unique.C. Be economical with energyD. Step out of the comfort zone.二、七选五5、 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It provides people with wood and other products. The roots of trees can keep soil and water in the land. Besides, trees can purify air and offer habitats for animals.Unfortunately, lots of trees have been cut down, which has caused a series of problems. For example, global warming, soil and water loss and sand storm in dry areas.Measures should be taken to solve the above problems. First, more trees should be planted. Second, it is urgent for people to stop cutting trees blindly. Last but not least, people should realize the importance of forest and take good care of it.听力原文Text 1W: How should we go back to the hotel, by taxi or by bus?M: We’d better take the No.3 bus.

It is also one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice last century, the city was destroyed and rebuil t. In 1923, a major earthquake struck the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings were totally destroyed. It took seven years to rebuild the city. During World War II, Tokyo was destroyed once again. As a result, there is nothing of old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area.After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city. Buildings went up at a quick rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population more than doubled. Because the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world. As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen. Housing shortages, pollution, and waste treatment have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to address them.。

ATeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study, which included nearly 1,400 high school students, found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人) five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eati ng the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收) of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.21. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Teenagers’ TV Time May Affect Their Diets L aterB. People Should Keep Away from TV to Keep HealthyC. Why Do Teenagers Like TV?D. Parents’ Own Habits May Affect Children Later22. What suggestion does the author give the parents?A. They can’t do what they don’t want their children to do.B. They must watch TV with their children.C. They should forbid the children to watch TV.D. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.23. The underlined word “ curbing”in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.A. addingB. stoppingC. controllingD. checking24. According to the passage, heavy TV viewers tend to _________.A. eat more fruitsB. take in fewer vegetablesC. eat less junk foodD. take in high-calcium foodBFestivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world．★ Boryeong Mud Festival－Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Borueong to experience the grey pools and slides．What began as a way of promoting the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party, complete with music and fireworks.While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want．★Holi－IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world．★Koninginnedag－The NetherlandsAlthough their current Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th, the country’s official “ Queen’s Day” since 1949．Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas（长围巾）and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas （广场）．Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day．★National Elephant Day in ThailandIn Thailand, March 13th is regarded as National Elephant Day to show that the Thai elephant plays an important role in the Thai history. Thai Elephant Day has been held on an annual basis sinc e the idea was first approved by the Thai government in 1998. Special events are held at a number of venues in northern Thailand．At the Mae Sa Elephant Camp, it has become a tradition on March13th for the dozens of elephants there to be treated to a huge feast of fruits and sugarcane．25．What we can learn from the passage is that _____.A. people around the world celebrate Holi differently to show their respect for religion.B. Koninginnedag－The Netherlands was celebrated on their current Queen’s birthdayC. it is an international custom for the Thai elephant to eat all kinds of fruits and sugarcaneD. Boryeong Mud Festival was originally held to advertise for their mineral resources 26．What is the purpose of the festival held on March 13th in Thailand?A. To call on people to protect these endangered elephants．B.To give the Thai elephant a chance to eat fruits and sugarcane．C.To help people relax themselves by feeding the Thai elephant．D.To give the importance of the elephant in the Thai history．27．You can experience the Festival of Colors in．A．South Korea B．India C．the Netherlands D. Thailand28．What is the main purpose of the text?A.To tell people how to enjoy and relax themselves．B.To introduce some unique festivals around the world．C.To get people to celebrate different kinds of customs．D.To show the importance of celebrating different festivals．CDon’t you hate it when someone snubs（冷落）you by looking at their phone instead of paying attention? The word “Phubbing”, which comes from “phone” and “snub”, describes such behavior . With popularization of smart phones, we see a new "Phubbing" group everywhere in public places: in subway, restaurants, roads, people are checking the mobile phone, ignoring the people around completely.What is worrying us is that not only young people, but also the elderly and kids are getting addicted （上瘾）to Phubbing.On Dec 29th, a 28-year-old woman—a mother of two in Wenzhou, drowned after she fell into a river while looking at her mobile phone. A Pakistani man was killed on Dec 15th, 2015, after being hit by a fast moving train while trying to take a selfie (自拍)with it on the track. Last month, Justin, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance(监控)video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed that. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.Phone is the tool for communication, but now it distances people and makes them separated from each other. Therefore, someone jokes “the furthest distance in t he world is not the distance between life and death, but that you don’t know I stand in front of you while you focus on the mobile.”Phubbing appears harmless; however, it does affect our life. 23-year-old Alex from Melbourne wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eatin g since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops a lot as a result."29.

Advice on how to use a cell phoneDEarlier this month, blogger Lisa Henderson announced that she and her husband John had decided not to have Christmas. The family, who lives in Utah, will still put up decorations, but presents from Santa are a no-go this year.“John and I feel like we are fighting a very hard uphill battle with our kids when it comes to their rights,” Henderson wrote on her blog. “It is one of the biggest struggles as a parent these days in mi ddle class America. Our kids have been acting so ungrateful lately. ... John said, “We shouldn’t just celebrate Christmas. And, so that’s what we did.”Instead, the Hendersons are putting the money they would have spent on gifts toward service projects in order to teach their three sons the “pleasure of giving.” The children will still receive gifts from grandparents and other family members, but this year, she said, their letters to Santa will be asking him to find someone who needs presents more than they do.In an interview with ABC News, 11-year-old Caleb Henderson admitted that he and his brothers had been behaving badly. “We would hit each other. We were fighting and crying,” he admitted, and Lisa said that when she broke the news to her sons, they cried pretty hard.But so far, Henderson told Fox News last week, the family is having a sudden turning this into a different kind of gift. They have already held a clothing drive and sent boxes of clothes and candy to a village in the Philippines that was hit hard last year by Typhoon Haiyan.“The children were excited and kept wanting to give more and more,” she reported on her blog.Many readers responded positively to Henderson’s post. Some sharing their own stories of limiting Christmas in order to teach their children to be charitable(仁慈的) or grateful. “As parents you’re giving your kids something so much more special than a bunch of gifts on Christmas,” one wrote.But Henderson received negative follow-ups as well on her blog. Responding to critics, she updated her blog with a statement that reads, in part:I just wanted to explain a couple of things. First, my kids are in no way hurt for things.... They have reacted by making gifts fo r each other and packing them into each other’s stockingsstealthily(偷偷地). They are learning exactly what we wanted them to learn, because they are not moving around feeling sorry for themselves. They are thinking of others.The second thing I wanted to explain is why I wrote this post. Some people seem to think I wrote this for attention. Ummm, the attention you get from posts like this is not good and actually extremely difficult to deal with.... The reason I wrote this post is I want to empower parents to feel like it’s okay to take a stand. ... I wanted to share what we are doing, so any parents that feel they are struggling with the same issues in their home can see what others are doing and get ideas for their family. My intention is to help support other parents and to raise amazing kids.32.
