AI was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all, and what is more, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly.I stopped to ask afriendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside.The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.21.The writer believed that if you wanted to get to know a strange city, ______.A．you should go everywhere on foot B．you should have a mapC．you should ask people the way D．you should get lost22.The newspaper-seller ______.A．could understand what he said B．didn't know what he saidC．laughed at him D．didn't want to take the money23.The writer's real trouble was that _______.A．he couldn't speak the language B．he followed the policeman's directionC．he took the wrong bus D．he left the town-centre24.The policeman ______.A．didn't help him B．pointed at himC．didn't understand what he really meant D．didn't know the wayBPerhaps you have been told about some habits（习惯）which stop a person reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions:1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently？2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?4. Do you read one word at a time?If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointingwhile reading.If you move your head, place your chin（下巴）in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地，静止地).If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.25. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading__________ .A. to hold a piece of paper between themB. to stop yourself talking to othersC. to tell others to be silentD. to feel whether y our lips move or not26. When you read, ___________ .A. Don’t use your finger to point to wordsB. Don’t hold your books with your handsC. Don’t hold your head stillD. Don’t do any of the things mentioned(提到)above.27. This passage mainly talks about _________ .A. the importance of fast readingB. the bad habits in readingC. the way to read fastD. both A and BCToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes . Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.28. According to the passage , honesty is __________ . .A. as important as moneyB. more important than anything elseC. something countableD. the base of a friendship29. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.B. Always tell your friend the truth.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.30. The best title of this passage is __________ . .A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedB. Honesty Is the Best HabitC. How to Be a FriendD. Three Important Points in Life第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版高二上学期期中考试模拟测试英语试题第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

AIt’s happened to everyone. You run up to someone, thinking it’s your friend, only to realize that the person is a stranger.But there’s something about the curve of their nose or the shape of their eyes that looks strangely familiar. It’s as if your friend had a twin.The Germans invented a word for this phenomenon, “doppelganger”. Literally, it means “double walker”, and it’s come to mean anyone who looks very similar to another person.Doppelgangers pop up in literature and movies, and even in celebrity culture. There are countless Web pages about how celebrities such as US actress Zooey Deschanel and singer Katy Perry look alike.But can you really find a person who looks the same as you? That’s an ongoing debate in the scientific community.After all, humans have a limited number of genes that control how our faces and bodies look. “There is only so much genetic diversity to go around,” the US’ Cornell University professor Michael Sheehan told Live Science. He compared genes to cards in a deck. If the deck gets shuffledenough times, some cards will appear again and again.But forensic scientist Daniele Podini from George Washington University, US is not convinced true doppelgangers exist. Nothing is impossible, Podini admits, but he told the website ScienceLine that most doppelgangers are the result of perception, the way each individual sees the world.We all see faces differently. You might see two people as doppelgangers, but forsomeone else, small differences between the two faces might be much more obvious. Each of us has a different ability to remember faces and their details.There’s even a small group of people who cannot tell between faces at all. They suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness”. They cannot even recognize the faces of their own pare nts or friends.For the people who are very sensitive to differences between faces, the differences can seem never-ending. A single study found 4,000 pieces of DNA that shape our faces, and more have yet to be discovered.Your lifestyle choices can also change your looks. Those choices can be as simple as a haircut, or as serious as bad eating habits. Even identical twins can start to look different, depending on how they live their lives.In other words, your doppelganger may be somewhere in the world, but it’s far more likely that your genes and your decisions have made you one of a kind.21. Which of the following statements would Michael Sheehan agree with?A. People’s perception is similar to each other.B. Genetic diversity is limited, resulting in similar faces.C. Genes are like cards in the way that you never know what you will get.D. It is not possible that there is another person who looks similar to us.22. What does the underlined sentence imply?A. Identical twins are likely to lead different life styles.B. The lifestyle we choose has little to do with our looks.C. Identical twins may not look alike due to different genes.D. Our appearance is in some way related to the way we live.23. The passage is likely to appear in _______ .A. a finance reportB. a newspaper advertisementC. a biological experimentD. a science magazineBJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional (常规的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in themore highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Jobsharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobsby reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom werebetween 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual workquite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partnerbefore applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interestingones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treateach other as equals.24. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.B. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.C. Work sharing requires more working hours.D. Work sharing depends on the employer's decision.25. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-timework mainly because _____.A. they had to take care of both work and familyB. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsC. they were over ideal working agesD. they sought higher social status26. In job sharing the partners should _____.A. enjoy equal social statusB. know each other very wellC. keep in touch with each otherD. have similar work experience27. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A.recommend job sharing to womenB. discuss how to provide more jobsC. describe job sharing in generalD. compare job sharing with work sharingCYou're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:"I can't believe it-----a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the productseems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation---- consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. "Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing." However, one might ask what exactly is "real" of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.28. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _____.A. get the sweater at a lower priceB. decide on buying the sweaterC. be admired by other shoppersD. be heard by people around29. Lorenzo Bertolla is _____.A. a very popular male singerB. an advertising agencyC. the brand name of a sweaterD. a clothing company in Rome30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Traditional advertising will soon disappear in the market.B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.C. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.D. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Two Attractive ShoppersB. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Undercover MarketingD. Ways of AdvertisingDWe've all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal (腹部的) muscles. It's easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products ---- no matter who approved them or how expensive they are ---- shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury ---- like the $518.99 Body Shaper---- Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by theAmerican Council on Exercise.The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominalmuscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of aninch of fat. That's enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the funand easy way without diets." Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuringthe electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report publishedin May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements ---- so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor ---- and exercises performed on the "Captain's Chair", a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.32. Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?A．Torso Track. B．Captain's Chair. C．Ab-Doer. D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.33. According to the author, it's difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominalmuscles mainly because __________.A．how big their muscles will be is determined by birthB．they change their exercise routine regularlyC．injuries interrupt their exercise frequentlyD．they do not put in enough efforts34. The author convinces the readers by ________.A．describing successful casesB．presenting findings of researchesC．offering comments directly from exercisersD．comparing advertisements of products35. What's the main purpose of this passage?A．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.B．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.C．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.D．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一学期期中考试试卷高二年级英语试卷（本试卷满分150分）(注：班级、姓名、学号、座位号一律写在装订线以外规定的地方，卷面不得出现任何标记) 本试卷分第一卷(选择题)和第二卷(非选择题)两部分.第I卷选择题( 105分)第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共10小题; 每小题2分, 满分20分)A.I studied computers in college，but I have learned more in the years after graduation.No place can compare with the real world when it comes to gaining experience.In high school I spent much time deciding what career to choose.I knew I wanted to work with computers but I wasn't quite sure.I had an experience of teaching adults when I was in high school and that experience let me make up my mind to study computers.Even though I really liked teaching I didn't want to be a teacher.Giving knowledge to those who wanted to study was interesting，but at the end of the day I felt tired rather than excited.I wanted to pursue（追求）my own interest in computers.Though I decided to study computers，what major to choose was a difficult problem.There are so many choices，such as network security，software development，programming and so on.I spent a lot of time thinking about my major choice because I didn't want to end up in a job I didn't like at all.A key figure in helping me decide what my major should be was one of my teachers.I started taking his classes and we stayed close throughout my school years.He helped me a lot.Web development was what I finally settled on.One of the reasons I chose it was that it was a wide open major through which I could realize my desires. I went straight to work after graduating from college.Working for customers wholeheartedly rather than grades was a big transition（转变）！I have greatly enjoyed constantly updating my knowledge and skills.After thirty years of working with computers，I have my favorite job，and I can provide support for the company I work in.I was proud of myself for choosing the right major.21．What can be learned from the passage?A．The author's family could afford his schooling.B．The author liked playing computer games in college.C．The author learned more in his work than in college.D．The teacher thought the author had talent for studying computers. 22.．Why didn't the author want to be a teacher?A．The work made him exhausted.B．He found the job boring.C．He wanted an exciting job.D．A teacher got very low pay.23．The author found it was difficult to ______.A．pass on knowledge to those adultsB．provide support for his companyC．pass college examinationsD．decide what major he would chooseB.Having visited museums and churches, visitors will be delighted to try these things which can be done and seen in London. They are well worth visiting.London EyeMake a reservation for London Eye before you leave the United States. The Eye is a huge wheel that takes you up into the sky. It was built to celebrate the millennium(千禧年), and has drawn millions of tourists ever since. Fun for the entire family, the Eye is a great way to see all the spectacular sites, including the RiverThames, Parliament, Leicester Square, and Big Ben.Speaker’s CornerSpeaker’s corner never fails to draw a cro wd. Near Marble Arch in Hyde Park, a group gathers every Sunday to speak their mind. You’ll hear everything from political activities to religious zealous, and all who live between these extremes. Go shopping on Oxford Street afterwards, and walk over to Trafalgar Square to see where people have toured for ages.Kew GardensIf you garden, or appreciate beautiful surroundings, then you will be in heaven wandering the paths of the Royal Botanic Kew Garden, simply known as Kew Gardens. Featuring the world’s la rgest collection of living plants, the collections in the greenhouse and beautiful displays of foliage（树叶）throughout the garden will take your breath away. Walk around on your own, or take a guide and learn about the garden’s secrets.Camden TownCamden Town is well known for its pop culture ways and extensive street markets. Home to many punk performers and artists, Camden Town also hosts amazing markets on the weekends, selling goods of all types including fashion, food, books and even some rather bizarre items.Portobello MarketNestled in the middle of Notting Hill, Portobello Market is one of London’s most popular spots. The market actually has several distinct sections and they are dedicated to antiques, fruits and vegetables, fashion, and secondhand “finds”. Top off a visit to Portobello with a pub lunch, a couple of pints and some lively conversation with the locals.24.Who is the text intended for?A. American travelersB. French visitorsC. The nativesD. Foreign tourists25.One remarkable feature of Kew Garden is that___.A. it is for the royal family onlyB. it helps fight against greenhouse effectC. its scenery is the most beautiful in BritainD. it is home to the largest number of living plants26.If you want to pick up a used bargain, where should you go?A. Oxford StreetB. Portobello MarketC. Camden TownD. Leicester SquareCPhysical fitness refers to good health，and is the result of regular exercise，proper diet and nutrition，and proper rest for physical recovery. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and he or she will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and will not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. The relation between height and weight is called the Body_Mass_Index. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health.Mental health refers to a person's emotional and psychological well­being. “A state of emotional and psychological well­being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling) abilities，function in society，and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.”One way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. Feeling capable and efficient，being able to handle normal levels of stress，having good friends and family，and leading an independent life，and being able to “bounce back，” or recovering from hardships，are all signs of mental health.Public Health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community，and does not help in long life or promote your health. This is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society，public and private clubs，communities and individuals.It is about the health of many people，or everybody，rather than one person. Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance (监督) of cases. To prevent being sick，it is good to do healthybehaviors，such as hand washing，vaccination programs and so on. When infectious diseases break out，washing hands may be especially important. 27．What is the best title of the passage?A．Physical，Mental and Public Health B．Something about Health C．Importance of Health D．Three healthy Lives28. What does “Body Mass Index” in Paragraph 1 consist of?A．Exercise，proper diet and nutrition B．Abilities，functions and demands C．Height，weight and their relation.D．Recovery，independence and relation 29．What are the signs of mental health?A．Living an independent life and suffer hardships.B．Reducing normal levels of stress and handle “bounce back”. C．Increasing emotional demands and psychological well­being.D．Living an independent life and own good friends and family.30．Once Bird Flu takes place，that refers to__________.A．the problem of physical health B．the problem of public healthC．the problem of mental health D．the importance of washing hands第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had telegrammed London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was onemore unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for thatonce, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that Icarried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervoustension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy (处世之道). I was, for whichever reason,so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “Have you read this?”I replied withextreme foolishness, “Yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have you been out of this country?”“About three months.”“And during that time you have acquired nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”He seemed immediately at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely unexpected.I explained, but I had already lost face. I brought out my old watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate (没收) the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation,”he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiablegoods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband (走私货). Just when I let out a sigh of relief, he began to search my luggage!21. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?A. He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.B. He must have noticed the writer’s ugly watch.C. He wanted to embarrass the writer.D. He must have noticed the writer’s tiredness.22. What did the writer think of the watch he bought abroad?A. He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.B. He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.C. He didn’t like the watch at all.高二英语第4页共10 页D. He was interested in the watch.23. After reading the story we can infer that the writer _______.A. knew little about the customs regulationsB. must have spent a long time at the customs and have been let go without any punishmentC. must have been fined because of carrying many contraband goodsD. might have failed in catching the hired carBViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in different waves from different regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought upin Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear.”he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at thetime were severely oppressed (受压迫的) and ill-treated in that part of the world. They werenot allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on aconcert stage.”As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music schoolbecause it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence (出现) of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societiesseem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline thanours,”says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music.”When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not onlybecame part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese aswe know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance (遗传) plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, forexample, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significantcareers in music.24. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country25. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions26. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to thepassage?A. A natural gift.B. Extensive knowledge of music.C. Very early training.D. A prejudice-free society.27. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and SocietyD. The Making of Music ProdigiesCThree in ten Americans commit financial infidelity (出轨) by lying to their partners about money, sometimes suffering consequences such as separation or divorce, according to a newsurvey.The Harris Interactive online survey of 2019 adults released on Thursday showed 31 percent of American couples who have combined finances were not truthful about issuessuchas hiding cash or a bank account or about debt or earnings.“Financial infidelity may be the new normal,”said Forbes. com, which performed the survey with the National Endowment (基金会) for Financial Education.One-third of respondents (响应者) also say they have been cheated, and both sexes lie to their partners about money in equal numbers. “These unwise behaviors cause great damage, tothe relationship, which is really not worthwhile. We must consider how important a family is toall of us.

Sixty-seven percent said it led to an argument andfor 42 percent it lessened trust in the relationship. What a great damage it is to the family members！The most common lie, at 58 percent, was hiding cash. Fifty-four percent of respondents (调查对象) admitted hiding a minor purchase, 30 percent hid a bill, 16 percent did not tell amajor purchase and 15 percent hid a bank account.Eleven percent lied about debt and an equal number were untruthful about earnings, the survey showed.

Americans like to hide their partners’cashDLife is so great, full of blessings and opportunities. Live in peace and be happy, regardless of whatever happens to you or around you.As long as we live, everybody goes through circumstances; some of these circumstances are called problems by some people. If we think we have problems and that we will live in misery because of them, we are right. If we think the circumstances or challenges we have toface are the results of our wrong choices and actions and they can be fixed, we are also right. Itis a choice and our attitude is what determines our results; it is entirely up to us. At the end, everything is and will be OK. Your attitude determines how you feel physically and mentallyand how successful our lives become.As long as we regard life’s challenges as bigger than us, we will not be able to overcome them, to grow nor to improve. There is no problem in making mistakes at all. All of us make mistakes, but the real problem is not being aware of them.Awareness is the first step to solve problems and to progress. We don’t have to feel useless,incapable, depressed or worthless when we make mistakes. As a matter of fact, all problemsand mistakes are opportunities. We find balance by making mistakes. They give us experiencesand the opportunity to improve our lives, they are part of our growth, and they are teaching usthat next time we need to do it differently.Making mistakes doesn’t make us useless, incapable or depressed unless we quit.

人教版高二上学期期中考试模拟测试英语试题本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分, 共150分，考试时间120分钟。

第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWe’re always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book ReviewsDiscuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some h old up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.21. When writing a review, you ________.A. cannot refer to any previous reviewB. must express your own views and opinionsC. must provide some information about the authorD. needn’t give any examples to support your views22. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?A. Strengths and weaknesses.B. Plot and character.C. Programs and scenes.D. Location and description.23. Where can you probably find the passage?A. In a personal diary.B. In an official report.C. In a tourist guidebook.D. In a popular magazine.BA study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线），draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them theimage again.It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.24. What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is notimportant”?A. Handwriting is not very important to children.B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.25. What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.B. How we write is as important as what we write.C. Children create ideas and remember information.D. A group of students should know what to write.26. Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.C. Type the image directly on a computer.D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.27. According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.A. is forB. is againstC. is responsible forD. doesn’t care aboutCAnimals are a favorite subject of many photographers. Cats, dogs, and other pets top the list, followed by zoo animals. However, because it’s hard to get them to sit still and “perform on command,” some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.One way to get an appealing portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The animal’s longing look toward the food will be captured by the camera, but the treat won’t appear in the picture because it’s out of the camera’s range. When you show the pi cture to your friends afterwards, they’ll be impressed by your pet’s loving expression.If you are using fast film, you can take some good, quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name. You’ll get a different expression fr om your pet using this technique. Depending on your pet’s mood, the picture will capture an interested, curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance, especially if you’ve awakened it from a nap.Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more p atience. After all, you can’t wake up a lion! You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot. When photographing zoo animals, don’t get too close to the cages, and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage. Concentrate on shooting some good pictures, and always respect the animals you are photographing.28. Why do some professional photographers NOT like to take pictures of pets?A. Pets may not follow orders.B. Pets don’t want to be bothered.C. Pets may not like photographers.D. Pets seldom change their expressions.29. What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet?A. To capture a cute look.B. To create a special atmosphere.C. To arouse the appetite of the pet.D. To keep the pet from looking at the camera.30. What is the advantage of calling your pet’s name when taking a shot of it?A. To help your pet look its best.B. To make sure that your pet sits still.C. To keep your pet awake for a while.D. To catch a different expression of yourpet.31. In what way is photographing zoo animals different from photographing pets?A. You need to have fast film.B. You need special equipment.C. You need more time to watch and wait.D. You need to stay close to theanimals.DCompared to high heels(高跟鞋), they don’t lookdangerous, but flip-flop wearers should think twice beforeslipping on a pair. The National Health Service spends £40million a year treating injuries caused by wearing thecasual footwear. More than 200,000 people end up inhospital every year after suffering falls or developinglong-term problems.Mike, a spokesman, warned wearers of the damage done by flip-flops. He said, “They land on the outside and then roll the foot inwards putting all the pressure on the big toe.” This constant rolling puts pressure on the ankle joint, causing it to weaken. The lack of support of the flip-flop also causes pain on the inside of the foot and lower leg. And if you’re not used to wearing them, they can cause blisters (水泡), he added.Doctors say flip-flops cause far more damage as they are worn for longer periods of time. Emma Supple, consultant podiatrist (足科医师), said, “Flip-flops are universally popular. They are easy to put on and easy to wear but women do need to be mindful that wearing on hard flat surfaces can cause considerable foot and leg problems.” She encouraged women to wear suitable shoes to help recover from summertime injuries. 32. What is the text mainly about?A. The benefits of wearing high heels.B. The dangers caused by wearing flip-flops.C. The advantages and disadvantages of wearing flip-flops.D. Some advice on how to avoid injuries caused by wearing high heels.33. Injuries caused by wearing the casual footwear include the following EXCEPT _______.A. Twisted ankles.B. Joint pains.C. Aching toes.D. Broken toes34. What is the Emma Supple’s attitude to wearing flip-flops according to the text?A. Cautious.B. Unclear.C. Regretful.D. Positive.35. What can we infer from the text?A. A number of women like to wear flip-flops regularly in summer.B. Wearing high heels is no more dangerous than wearing flip-flops.C. Flip-flops are only worn by people at the beach in the summertime.D. It’s better to wear flip-flops on hard flat surfaces than on uneven ground.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business (宠物护养业务) earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and“click”sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t knowwhat had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,“Am I going to die?” He replied,“Finally.”21.What did the author often do during her work?A.Cleaning the customers’ house.B.Sending a photo of pets to the owners.C.Bringing the pets to her own house.D. Walking the pets outside.22.The doctor’s answer gave us a sense of ___________.A. carelessnessB. angerC. humorD.patience23.It can be inferred from the text that the author was attacked because__________.A. the author treated Hercules badlyB.Hercules feared the sound and the flashC.the author attacked Hercules firstD.Hercules was very hungry thenBMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountain eering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this.There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linkedby a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.24. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf.B. Skiing and skating.C. Cycling and hockey.D. Mountaineering.25. The underlined word “passion”in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.A.strong emotionB. better feelingC. good wayD. enough affection26. We know from the passage that _______.A. mountaineering has no appeal for peopleB. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps27. What is the best title for the passage?A. MountaineeringB. Sports in winterC. Team work in climbingD.

In which column of a newspaper can we find this article?A. CultureB. EntertainmentC. PeopleD. SportsDCould cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods (洪水) and provide food for the world?Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says:“We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”32. What can we learn about the Netherlands?A. It has found many fossil fuels recently.B. Two thirds of its land is covered by water.C.There are floating homes in one of its cities.D. Its population is increasing quickly.33. Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?A. Satisfying more people’s housing needs.B. Providing more jobs for people.C. Supplying enough water to people.D. Making travel in space possible.34. What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?A. He doubts them.B. He has no idea about them.C. He is uncertain about them.D. He is hopeful of them.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Will there be enough water?B. Will sea cities save the world?C. Is it possible to live in the desert?D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?第二小节，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。

AThis was Larry’s another underwater expeditions(探险). However, this time, it was quite different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he wa s his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Lorry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.21. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His daughter would dive with him.D. His father would dive with him.22. What can be inferred from Paragraph2?A. Larry was lucky to have got such a chance to dive.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.D. Divers had to buy diving equipment.23. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To take photos more conveniently.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To protect himself from danger.24. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.B. Larry enjoyed the adventure.C. Larry had a poor memory.D. Larry was not good at math.25. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Make a good diving guide.B. Have longer hours of training.C. Take a lot of photo underwater.D. Become a successful diver.BTeachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says rese arch suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR--- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print--- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.26. What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?A. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.B.Teachers prefer to talk about the organization of the print.C. Parents focus on bringing children up to be good readers.D. More attention is paid to the pictures, with words and letters being ignored.27. What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?A. Use different methods according to the students’difference in reading skills.B. Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.C. Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.D. Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.28. What put more than three hundred children at risk for reading problems?A. They were poor and lacked language skills.B. They were four and five.C. They were forced to leave school.D. They were observed.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?A.Project STAR aims to find the results of reading to pre-school children in the classrooms.B. Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.C. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.D. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.30.Adults can talk to children about print in the following ways except________.A. Discussing the meaning of the print.B. Showing them all kinds of pictures.C. Talking about the organization of the print.D. Tracing the shape of a letter with a finger.CIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spr ead over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walkedlight-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.31. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to________.A. make a comparisonB. describe a sceneC. introduce a topicD. offer an argument32. In the write r’s opinion, his neighbor was________.A. not helpfulB. not considerateC. friendlyD. warm-hearted33. From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________.A. was reminded of the cruel pharaohB. was mad at the sales agentC. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night34. Which of the following is true?A. The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.B. From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.C. If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.D. When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He has n’t seen his family since he was 16.When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (拥抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel.His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脱去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least intheir household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”21. When the author arrived in her husband’s hometown, _____.A. his family showed no respect for her at firstB. she intended to talk to his family in EnglishC. she got extra attention from his family for her nationalityD. she found that she hadn’t brought enough gifts for his family22. What surprised the author most during her visit to her husband’s family?A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t like doing laundry.D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.23. On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family didB. they just wanted to show their love for the authorC. the author could finally understand them easilyD. it was time for the author to give a speechBHOW many of you have used rock, paper, scissors (RPS) as a “fair” way to settle something? If you think it is a game of chance, think again, according to scientists.RPS is a game as popular in the East as it is in the West. The rules are the same: Two players make one of the three hand signs. To decide the winner, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper covers rock.Many of us play with no game plan in mind. But researchers have worked out several winning patterns. The World Rock Paper Scissors Society holds tournaments (联赛) inToronto, Canada. According to their data, players choose rock (35.4 percent) and paper (35 percent) more than scissors (29.6 percent).If your opponent is a man or an angry person, it’s quite possible they will start the game with rock, researchers have found. If your opponent is a woman or a beginner, you should expect them to start with scissors.Earlier this year, Chinese scientists asked 360 students to compete in a RPS tournament at Zhejiang University. Scientists found that winners tend to choose the same action they won with, while the loser tends to change to the next action in the order of rock, scissors, paper.This is called the “win-stay lose-change” strategy(策略). Humans use this strategy in many competitive situations.Expert RPS players have many other techniques.Monica Martinez, 2008 winner of the World RPS Tournament, said that she read faces.“I didn’t worry about what I was going to do, I just did what I thought they were going to do,” she told The Telegraph. If you r friends are similar experts, learn from Jonathan Monaco, winner of the 2009 USA RPS Tournament. He wears dark sunglasses to cover his expressions during the game. Remember, the strategy for playing RPS depends on how skilled your opponent is. But if you’re looking for a quick, simple winning rule for a match, choose paper. Scissors is the least popular choice, and men favor rock. Both are reasons to choose paper.24. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The popularity of RPS games around the world.B. The general rules of RPS games.C. A game plan for RPS games.D. The fairness of RPS games.25. According to the article, researchers worked out some winning patterns for RPS games mainly by _______.A. studying the rules of the gameB. analyzing game dataC. interviewing expert playersD. organizing major tournaments26. Which of the following statements about Monica Martinez is TRUE according to thearticle?A. She likes to use the same actions many times in a row when playing the game.B. She usually follows the order of rock, scissors and paper when playing the game.C. She is good at reading her opponent’s moves when playing the game.D. She often wears dark sunglasses when playing the game.27. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.A. scissors is the most popular choice of skilled RPS playersB. paper is a safer choice than rock and scissors for RPS playersC. beginners have barely any chance of winning against skilled RPS playersD. men are usually better at RPS games than womenCOF course, Ms Cratty wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only called her “My Aunt Fannie (俚语)” because the name always made my father chuckle (轻声地笑) and caused my mother to look seriously at both of us – at me for being disrespectful of my elder, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large farmhouse owned by Ms Cratty and her twin brother. Neither had married, and they had no children. My father once told me that it was because they were both too mean to share their family’s money or pass it on. Ms Cratty was famous for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another one. Even though my mother knew the recipe , she never made the jam without Ms Cratty kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aun t Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I put the quarter in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.I now have the jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has made me wealthy, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.28. Why did the author prefer to call Aunt Fannie “My Aunt Fannie”?A. Because she wanted to show respect for her.B. Because she believed that made her seem closer to her.C. Because she loved to see her parents’ responses to it.D. Because she didn’t like her and thus made fun of her.29. According to the second paragraph, the author’s mother _______.A. owned the large farmhouse with Aunt FannieB. disliked Aunt Fannie’s meanness and the way she would never shareC. didn’t know the exact way to make t he jamD. tried to make Aunt Fannie believe that the secret recipe was safe30. The author used to believe that the quarter given to her by Aunt Fannie ______.A. was a reminder of the valuable things in her lifeB. would bring her good luck and make her richC. was a small reward for her help with the jam processD. was the exact one that Aunt Fannie had received from her grandfather31. The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we _______.A. have a certain secret recipeB. have lasting love and friendshipC. share our wealth with othersD. have good fortune and moneyDREADY or not, the college application season has begun. There are two main kinds of early admissions programs: Early Action and Early Decision.Early Action is a great choice for the well-prepared student. Students apply early,and are allowed to apply under an Early Action program to as many colleges as they choose. The biggest advantage for students is that colleges let them know early –in most cases, before Jan 1. Roughly 15 percent of colleges and universities offer an Early Action option. Oct 15 is now the first deadline for many colleges and universities.This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way. North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia all have an Oct 15 Early Action deadline. Early Decision is a promise that cannot be reversed. Students who are accepted must take back their other applications and should attend that school. Students are allowed to apply to just one school under an Early Decision program. Early Decision deadlines are in early November, with colleges letting students know by mid-December.Many students believe that they are more likely to be accepted if they apply for Early Decision, but it actually depends.In some cases there is big increase in students being accepted, and at other colleges it is not that big at all. Generally, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early DecisionChoose the best answer:32. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?A. To explain the process of applying to study in the US.B. To describe two types of US college early admissions programs.C. To encourage students who want to study in the US to apply early.D. To list the advantages of early admissions programs.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE of Early Action according to the article?A. A student who is accepted as an Early Action applicant must attend the college they apply to.B. The deadline for Early Action is usually two months earlier than the one for Early Decision.C. Students can apply to several colleges at the same time under an Early Action program.D. Students can apply for Early Action at the majority of universities and colleges in the US.34. The underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 6 probably means _______.A. changedB. balancedC. acceptedD. arranged35. What can be concluded from the article?A. Students are not allowed to apply for both Early Decision and Early Action at the same time.B. Students applying for Early Decision impress colleges because they tend to be more active than others.C. Early Decision is most fit for students who are skilled in some field.D. Those applying for Early Decision have a better chance of being accepted than those applying for Early Action.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn half a dozen states and many countries and cities, it is illegal to use a hand-held cellphone while driving--but perfectly all right to talk on a hands-free device.But a large body of research now shows that a hands-free phone poses no less danger than a hand-held one. “It’s not that your hands aren’t on the wheel,” said David Strayer, a leading researcher on cel lphone safety, “It’s that your mind is not on the road.”“There is a huge misperception(错觉)with the public that it’s OK if they are using a hands-free phone,” said Janet Froetscher, the council’s president. “It’s the same challenge we had with seat belts and drunk driving--we’ve got to get people to think the same way about cellphones.”Laboratory experiments using simulators, real-world road studies and accident statistics all tell the same story: drivers talking on a cellphone are four times as likel y to have an accident as drivers who are not. That’s the same level of risk posed by a driver who is legally drunk.Why cellphone use behind the wheel is so risky isn’t entirely clear, but studies suggest several factors.It may be that talking on the phone generates mental images that conflict with the spatial processing needed for safe driving. Eye-tracking studies show that while drivers continually look side to side, cellphone users tend to stare straight ahead.They may also be distracted(分心)to the point that their engaged brains no longer process much of the information that falls on their retinas(视网膜), which leads to slower reaction times and other driving problems.“We have to educate people that it’s a risky behavior.”21. From the passage we can conclude thatwhile driving in many countries.A it’s against the law to use hand-held cell phonesB it’s illegal to use a hands-free cell phoneC it’s safe to use a hand-held cell phoneD it’s safe to use a hands-free cell phone22. The Laboratory experiments used all the following ways EXCEPTA simulatorsB real-world road studiesC studying the brainsD accident statistics23. According to David Strayer it is dangerous for a driver to use a cell phone while drivingbecauseA it keeps your hands off the wheelB it keeps your mind away from the roadC it is too noisy to concentrate on driving C it is illegal in many countries24 .The writer wrote this article mainly toA tell the readers it is illegal to use a cell phone while drivingB call on the readers not to talk on cell phones while drivingC explain why it is a risk to use cell phones while drivingD tell the readers using a cell phone while driving is as risky as driving when you’re drunkBI was recently told that to treat colds, chicken soup may be a better choice than cough and cold medicines.Now, with government experts questioning the safety and effectiveness of cold medicines for kids, the best option(选择)for parents this cold and flu season may be chicken soup. Scientific studies show that chicken soup really could have medicinal value.Dr. Stephen from a medical University in Omaha conducted laboratory tests to determine why chicken soup might help colds, beginning with his wife’s homemade re cipe(配方). Using blood samples from volunteers, he showed that the soup controlled the movement of the most common type of white blood cell that defends against infection. He theorizes that by controlling the movement of these infection-fighting cells in the body, chicken soup helps reduce upper respiratory cold symptoms(上呼吸道感染症状).The researchers couldn’t identify the exact ingredients(成分)in the soup that made it effective against colds but say it may be the combination of vegetables and chicken that work together. The tested soup contained chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper. The researchers also compared commercial soups andfound many of them also had a similar controlling effect.Another study by Mount Sinai researchers in Miami also suggests that chicken soup has more that just a placebo(安慰剂)effect. They looked at how chicken soup affected air flow in the noses of 15 volunteers who drank cold water, hot water or chicken soup. They found that chicken soup did a better job than the traditional advice of hot water with medicine.25. What’s the best title of this passage?A How to treat cold and fluB How to make chicken soupC The science of chicken soupD Doctors, advice on medicine26. What is the doctor’s traditional way of treating cold and flu?A Drinking chicken soup with medicineB Taking some medicine with cold waterC Taking some medicine with hot waterD Drinking hot water and chicken soup27. From the text we can infer thatA the traditional cold medicines for kids are not safe and effectiveB chicken soup can take the place of medicines for cold and fluC chicken soup can just make the patient easy and comfortableD the text is written for parents before cold and flu season28. What is the main purpos e of Mount Sinai researchers’ study?A To find the ingredients of chicken soupB To study the effect of chicken soupC To study the air flow in the nosesD To prove chicken soup helps control the white cellsCA pair of U.S. astronauts ventured outside the International Space Station on Wednesday for the second of three spacewalks to prepare the orbiting lab for future American crew spacecraft.The nearly seven-hour spacewalk by astronauts Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts went smoothly with all the scheduled tasks completed, but back inside the station's airlock, Virts reported a small amount of water floating free in his helmet. The helmet absorption pad was damp, but not saturated(湿透), indicating that the water may not appear until very late in the spacewalk.There was no report of water during the spacewalk itself and the crew was never in any danger, NASA said in astatement.During their first spacewalk on Saturday, the two astronauts spent six hours and 41 minutes outside deploying eight bundles of cables. Wednesday's spacewalk featured more cable work.“Wilmore and Virts completed rigging a series of power cables on Pressurized Mating Adapter-2, lubricated the Latching End Effecter of the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm, and prepared the Tranquility module for the station's upcoming reconfiguration in preparation for the arrival of commercial crew vehicles later this decade," the U.S. space agency said.NASA said ground teams are currently analyzing the situation to confirm the source of the water.The spacewalk was the third for Wilmore and the second for Virts. The duo was originally scheduled to perform a third spacewalk on Sunday. But given the water problem, NASA said will meet on Friday to review the issue.In 2013, NASA aborted a planned six-hour spacewalk after Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency reported a buildup of water inside his helmet.29. The water in Virt’s helmetA was found after he was back from the spacewalkB make his helmet floatC appeared early during his spacewalk on WednesdayD did harm to the astronaut Virts30. The pair of US astronauts accomplished the following tasks during their second spacewalkEXCEPTA deploying eight bundles of cablesB rigging(装配) a series of power cables on Pressurized Mating Adapter-2C lubricated the Latching End Effect of the space station’s Canadarm2 robotic armD prepared the Tranquility module for the station’s upcoming reconfiguration31. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A a build-up of water inside an astronaut is first reportedB global warming will positively affect on our planetC the spacewalk was the second for Wilmore and the third for virtsD NASA is serious about the water problemDJennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks California. Her parents separated when she was nine. After the divorce, she was raised by her mother. Aniston was inspired to act after seeing the play Children of aLesser God on Broadway. Aniston was, and still is, a very talented artist and at 11, one her paintings was displayed at an exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. At 15, Aniston was accepted to New York’s High School for the performing Arts. In 1987, after gra duating from high school, she didn’t want to go to college. Instead, she worked at a burger joint called Jackson Hole in Manhattan. During those burger-pushing days, Aniston won roles in the Off-Broadway productions of For Dear Life at New York’s Public Th eater and Dancing on Checkers Grave.Looking for more challenges, Aniston moved west where she met soon-to-be friend, Matthew Perry. During 1989, Aniston was cast in a handful of television shows. In 1993, Aniston won a part in Leprechaun. In those years, Anisto made a name for herself as an actress who would take risks and graciously accept criticism of herself and her work. Then, a pilot of a show called Friends Like Us came along. Aniston was tested for the role of Rachel. Life wasn’t all easy for Aniston though. Before getting the role of Rachel Green on Friends, Aniston was told to lose some weight and she did. She lost 30 pounds. Now, as the girl everyone wants to look like, fame has proven to be a bit daunting(使人气馁的) for Aniston. Now, her passions for things like antiquing, hiking and travelling have been stopped. She can no longer go out into public without being stopped for autograph requests or photos and finds the worst part of her newfound celebrity status is meeting a man. However, that doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore because Aniston is currently going out with actor, Tate Donovan.32. From the first paragraph we can learn thatA Aniston had a happy familyB Aniston is no longer a talented artistC Aniston’s father left her when she was nineD Aniston’s mother was against her career33. What has mainly made Aniston a successful actress?A that she once worked in the burger jointB that she is a very talented artistC that she met soon-to-be friend, Matthew PerryD that she likes to take challenge34. What does the underlined sentence show?A she would not feel comfortable any moreB the producer didn’t think she would succeed in the showC she had to lose some weight firstD the role of Rachel Green was not fit for her to act35. It seems that after Aniston became famousA she had to give up all her interestsB she was afraid to go out to meet her boyfriendC she was stopped by her fans each time she appeared in publicD she could only go out with actor Tate Donovan第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项有两项为多余选项。

An official report.D. An announcement.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot“greener”towards the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass­roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many, many times,”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking”has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. Until we do that, nothing else will change!”says Bruce Anderson.24. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________.A. the importance of Earth DayB. environmental problemsC. recycling techniquesD. the social movement25. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. Government officials.B. The business circle.C. The grass­roots level.D. University professors.26. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have settled their environmental problems.27.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.Green living.B. Planning.C. Education.D. CO reduction.CIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a brilliantly（精彩地）written book. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day's“Report on Guilty Secrets, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984. I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).28.

In fact, half of the 6,000 —7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations —UNESCO and National Geographic among them —have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes —which had remainedunstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded —the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project —Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32.
