Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks, 36 all my calls and messages.With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 37 my paper. I was just looking up when a 38 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 39 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t40 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 41 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had42 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 43 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really 44 that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n) 45 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 46 . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t47 who my friends are. Will you forgive me?” At these words, from my deep heart sprang up a burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure.36.

To keep it looking good, we occasionally take it 48 a wash. If we abuse the car, it won’t take us where we want to go. 49 it is with our body and soul. The body is just like a vehicle to do the soul’s b uilding. 50 the body is full of energy, it can help open up the soul. Some deeper life issues will become easy for us. Just 51 we learn to maintain a car, we ought to learn how to maintain the body. There must be 52 balance between enjoying ourselves and working. For one thing, we don’t need to be a slave. 53 can sometimes refresh the body so that our soul can accomplish more. For 54 , we have to be in control. Enjoy the pleasure, 55 don’t be addicted to it. Only when our body is at full power can the “will-power” go further.Part III Reading Comprehension (10marks)Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way．¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today．She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger．It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all" concerned about it．It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity．The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices．“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey．¨The findings exposes a generational shift （转移）in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella．“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair．"The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families）, media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%）．Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier．And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied．Slightly fewer turn to books （79%）and TV（78%）．The survey didn't look at how media affects children．That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times．The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, schooldifficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat．In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats （格式）such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience．Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy （素养）," it says．The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones" and TV should be turned off during dinner．At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content．It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play．“ Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says．An article on screen time by t．he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep , behavioral problems , weak school performance , violence and less time for active and creative play．56.Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like ．A．computers B．smart phonesC．video games D．tablets PCs57.Most parents don't worry about kid's media use because ．A．they can limit the screen time B．they want their children happyC．they also grew up with technology D.they can teach their children themselves 58.From the data of the survey, we learn ．A．children in media-centric families are smarter than othersB．children in media-light families spend one hour watching TVC．more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem D．media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use59 To make parenting easier, most parents probably ．A．try to persuade their children to read booksB．ask their children questions while watching TVC．allow their children watching TV or using computersD．turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied60 Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?A．Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited．B．Entertainment media use should be high-quality content．C．Schools should provide more time for active and creative play．D．Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．Part IV Writing (10marks)Section A (10 marks)There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degreeof health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. This difference comes from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of a conversation, the well prepared dishes, for example. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. So, they’re always dissatisfied. They cannot feel the pleasure of society, they hurt other people, and they make themselves unpopular everywhere. Their intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation, but it gradually grows into a bad habit as time goes on.Though being unhappy is most probably an act of imagination, it has serious results in life, for it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. The unhappy ones hurt many people; nobody will love them, and nobody will treat them with basic politeness and respect. When they need some advantages in social position or fortune, no one will wish them success.In order to help the unhappy ones, it is strongly suggested that they should change their bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and the others. If they do it, it will be good for both themselves and the others, and bright life will definitely smile at them some day.时量：45 分钟总分：65 分命题：陈煜娜审题：易蓉单项选择：(15’)完形填空二：(12’)48. ________ 49. ________ 50. ________ 51. ________ 52. ________ 53. ________ 54. ________ 55. ________ 阅读理解：(10’)56---60:___________________阅读填空(10’)71._____________ 72.______________73______________ 74.____________75.__________ 76.__________77.__________ 78.____________79.____________ 80._____________湘阴一中2015届英语周考试卷（六）命题：陈煜娜审题：易蓉单项选择：(15’)完形填空二：(12’)48. for 49.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s ―She Is Not Invisible‖ is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager w hose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets―Six Bad Poets‖ is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In ―Britain Against Napoleon‖, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s ―The Beau Monde‖ tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. ―She Is Not Invisible‖B. ―Six Bad Poets‖C ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ D. ―The Beau Monde‖60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, ―You are cutting the child off the world.‖ Did the child really get cut off or did the ch ild socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a betteropportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. ―Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,‖ said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, ―The immune sy stem is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breastcancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mental math in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases ―is out of whack‖ in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D.

Fill in the numbered blankets by using theinformation from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment you begin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute hasachieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. He draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. ― I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,‖ Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researchi ng the person’s background and another three days on interviews. ―Micro blog cartoons are interesting not because of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,‖ Nong says. ―Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.‖On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. ―She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?‖ Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. ―I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,‖ he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pickup the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 Here are some tips to guide you throughan average phone conversation in English.1. GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contactfor a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business. 372. Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However,if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversationby saying “So what can I do for you?”3. Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”．4. Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate. 40 Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speakingto the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginningof a sen tence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.B. Practice English through phone calls.C. Never fear, though!D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.二．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Sharpen your pencils, ready your typing fingers, and fire your imagination at the Library’s Writing & Book Camp! If you are one of them, welcome to join us!Who should come?Vancouver Public Library’s Writing &Book Camp was created for young people to encourage them to become lifelong readers and writers. At the Writing & Book Camp, they write, read, and have conversations with some o f Canada’s best authors. This camp is for young enthusiastic readers and eager writers who love writing, who have questions to ask and who want their work recognized--- people who feel the need to read and write!How the Writing & Book Camp startedWhen the Canadian Book Camp started 13 years ago, it was the first of its kind in Canada. It was founded in 2000 through a partnership with Vancorver PublicLibrary, Simon Fraser University’s Master of Publishing Program, Publishers, and authors with the aim of connecting book-loving kids to Canadian writer mentors(指导者). Since 2001 the camp has been a project of the Vancorver Public Library and in 2013 the name changed to the Writing & Book Camp.How the Writing & Book Camp worksThe Writing & Book Camp is held annually at the Central Library for five days in August. Workshops and activities highlight(突出)the process of book making. Campers are divided into two age groups, 11-13 and 14 plus. Each day’s activities run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00p.m. , with a different Canadian writer featured as the major speaker each afternoon.Anthology and Gala(文选和庆祝活动)At the end of the week, each camper has created work that may be in an anthology published by the Library. Camp closes with a Gala to celebrate the young writers’ achi evements. At the Gala some campers read from their work to an audience of parents, family members and friends, authors and other participants. The Gala is always a highlight and provides well-earned recognition and praise to encourage the campers to continue exploring the written world.56. How long does the Writing & Book Camp last?A. For three daysB. For five daysC. For two daysD. For one month57.The Writing & Book Camp is held for young people who are interestedin .A. literatureB. sportsC. historyD. music58. At the Gala of the camp, campers may .A. receive new works by famous writersB. create an anthology with invited writersC. have the chance to read their own workD. win special awards provided by the Library59. According to the passage, the Writing & Book Camp .A. was founded in the year 2002B. is owned by Simon Fraser UniversityC. got its name in the year 2011D. is held every year in August60. The passage is most probably taken from .A. an advertisementB. a news reportC. a book reviewD. a personal diaryBFor good health, be sure to eat fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and lie as seldom as possible. A researcher is hoping this advice will someday take hold, based on results of a "science of honesty" study she completed.Half of 110 participants were told to stop telling major or minor ("white") lies for 10 weeks, while the other half (the control group) was given no special instructions about lying.The 110 people ranged from ages 18 to 71 and came from both sexes and all income levels. All came to a laboratory each week to complete health and relationship questionnaires and to take a test showing the number of major and minor lies they had told that week.When those in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than in other weeks, they complained less of headaches, tenseness, anxiety and other problems than those in the control group. In addition, they reported that their close personal relationships had improved and their social interactions(交往) had gone more smoothly.“The link was that clear," said study author Anita Kelly, a professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. "Lying less was clearly associated with better health for those people."Previous research indicates that Americans average 11 lies per week, from the little white lies to save face or falsely praise others to major lies about serious matters. Kelly said her study differs from former studies because it didn't focus on how to detect a liar, but on the potential health consequences of telling lies.“People might recognize the more harmful effect lying can have on relationships, but probably don't recognize the extent to which it can cause a lot of stress," said Dr. Bryan Bruno at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.At the end of the study, some participants had created smart ways to avoid lying. Kelly noted that some realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily achievements rather than exaggerate(夸张),while others responded to a troubling question with another question to take the person’s attention away. They also stopped making false excuses for running late or failing to finish tasks.“People usua lly think white lies are acceptable. In fact, white lies are trouble, not just major lies," Kelly said. "As long as you like, you can find effective ways to avoid lying in many cases. It depends on you.”“But the goal doesn’t have to be the absolute absence of lies … the goal would be a reduction in lies,” she added.61. According to the author, doing the following things is good for healthEXCEPT .A. Eating fruits and vegetablesB. Exercising regularlyC. Lying as seldom as possibleD. Watching TV62. The “science of honesty” study by Anita Kelly focused on .A. the effect lifestyles have on health.B. the link between lying and health.C. how to improve relationshipsD. how to discover a liar.63. Which of the following is TRUE about the research?A. All the participants were adults.B. The control group was asked to stop lying.C. The participants had ten physical examinations.D. All the participants were of the same income level.64. The finding of the research is that .A. white lies help to improve relationships.B. few people realize lying harms their health.C. Americans tell 11 lies per week on average.D. Lying less results in better health mentally and physically.65. What is Kelly’s opinion about lying?A. It is easy to stop lying.B. Sometimes it is necessary to tell white lies.C. people should try to lie less.D. Major lies are more harmful than white lies.CWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps(处于沮丧中),as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.66. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that .A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others67. From the second paragraph we can guess what kind of person the author’sgrandma is.A. She is funnyB. She is curiousC. She is humorousD. She is serious68. The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by .A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard69. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to .A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life70. What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?A. PositiveB. CriticalC. SatisfiedD. IndifferentPart IV Writing （45 marks）SECTION A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Couch potatoes define people who live in the world of a television, a comfortable couch and a bag of chips or junk food. They sit around in front of the television, sleep and chew junk food, while absorbing anything on TV. They have a boring lifestyle and rarely move out of the couch.Being a couch potato will not only make your body a fat house, but it will also affect your mental health. For example, it can make you suffer from loss of interest, memory loss and low confidence. Namely, being a couch potato is unhealthy. So we should try to get out of it and move on to a healthy lifestyle.An important way to stop being a couch potato is exercising. Even though youmay not find time, some changes in your schedule will help. Hit the gym regularly and find a fit person to inspire you. Make sure you walk a lot whenever possible. Exercise will fill you with enthusiasm for doing just more than being a couch potato.Spending time with the family is another effective way to stop being a couch potato. When back from school, you can help your family with lunch or dinner. Have food together at the dining table and don’t eat all by yourself in front of the TV set. Playing games with the family is also a good idea.In addition, limiting the entertainment is also a practical solution for couch potatoes. Restrict your timing of television to one or two hours every week or even less. Choose the shows you like best and make sure you only watch them. You can also avoid the use of your remote control. Simply get up from the couch every time you want to change the channel.This will also keep you fit and you’ll end up watching less TV.Directions: Read the following passage; Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they’re following the wrong group.A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars (毛虫) looking for food. He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar, forming a circle without end or beginning. Out of habit, the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation. In fact, plenty of food was close at hand, but it was outside the range of the circle, so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path.People often behave in the same way. For example, if som eone shouts, “Fire!” many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it. How many stop to ask themselves: Is this really the best way out of here?Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom, achievement and success. A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong. People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun, stars and planets travelled around the earth. Both ideas are now considered ridiculous, but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers.It’s a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go. Success only favors those who think outside the box.81. How long did the caterpillar circle the flowerpot? (within 6 words)( 2 marks).82. Why couldn’t the caterpillar find the food ever when it was close at hand? (within10 words) ( 2 marks).83. How does the author support his ideas? (no more than 5 words) ( 3 marks).84. What is the best title for the text? (within 7 words) ( 3 marks).SECTION C（25 marks）Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.我们在成长过程中，一定有过印象深刻、难以忘怀或者富有意义的生日，请你以一次生日为主题，按以下要求写一篇120词左右的英语短文：1. 简要描述庆祝生日的时间,地点, 方式和参加对象;2. 描述最让你感动的一个场景;3. 你的感受.英语参考答案听力：1-5 CAABC 6-10 BACBC 11-15 BABCB16. a variety of 17. delicious 18. cheese.19.

As for me, it is this year, my 18th birthday ，that impresses me most.It was at my home that we celebrated it at night, during which time we enjoyed the party and had so much delicious food. To my joy, my relatives and classmates came to my home, all wearing a big smile on their faces. The most exciting and touching moment was when Mother put the big birthday cake on the table and all my friends began to sing Happy Birthday. Seeing the 18 candles burning, I couldn’t keep back my tears. After making a wish, I blew out all the candles. Lost in great excitement, we even forgot the time so that not until midnight did they leave the house.I am eighteen years old now, which means I’ve become an adult and have more responsibilities to bear. I’ll do my best in every way to return my parents’ love and live up to their expectations.听力原文：SECTION AConversation 1M: What are you going to do on Saturday evening?W: I’m going to hear John Denver.M: Who’s he?W: Haven’t you heard of him? He’s a very famous singer. He’s singing at the New Theater on Saturday.M: What kind of music does he sing?W: American country music. He writes most of his songs himself.M: Is he good?W: Of course he is. He’s very successful. He’s made lots of records. They broadcast a program of his music last month on the radio. Why don’t you come on Saturd ay? I think you’d enjoy it.M: That’s a good idea.W: You’d better hurry and buy a ticket then. It’ll be very popular.Conversation 2W: How was your first day at your new job, Jack?M: I was three minutes late and the manager got very angry. He shouted at me!W: He must be very strict.M: Yes, he certainly is. I had to work hard all day. I just sat at my desk and worked and worked ...W: What about lunch?M: I have only thirty minutes for lunch. I really wish I could have a few minutes to have a break during the day.W: Did you have to work late?M: No. All the employees left the office at 5 pm.W: That’s good. What do the other employees think of your manager?M: They say he’s strict with them. But if you work hard and do your work well, he’s very easy to get along with. He often invites them home to have dinner with his family.Conversation 3M: I’ve been noticing recently quite a lot of black smoke coming out of the chimneys of that factory near our school. It really pollutes the air here.W: Yes, it does. But I heard recently that the owners of the factory have promised to take measures to reduce their factory’s emissions.M: I sure hope they will keep their promise.W: I think they will. According to the factory owners, a special machine is supposed to be installed by the end of this year. It will clean the fine dust out of the smoke before it pours into the air.M: That’s good. Dust is really harmful to our lungs. I know that because my family lives near a steelworks with a chimney that constantly pours out black smoke.W: Oh, you live near the steelworks? Is it true that we shouldn’t eat the fish from the lake near the steelworks?M: Yes, that’s true — waste from the steelworks has polluted the lake.W: Why don’t the owners do anything to clean up the po llution?M: They always promise, but never act. A bit of action, that’s what we need.W: You’re right.Conversation 4W: Well, here we are. I’ll just open the door. Ah, here we go. Come on in, Mr. Smith.Isn’t it nice?M: Hmm. Where is the view? The advertisement says this place has a great view of the ocean.W: Oh, well, you ... now look ... if you stand right here and look between those two buildings over here ...M: Where? Oh, I can hardly see it at all!W: Oh, come on, I mean, think of all the good points.M: Like what?W: The pubic transportation right at the front door. It’s really convenient.M: But I don’t need public transportation. I have a car.W: Maybe you don’t need the car.M: I like the car.W: There is a shopping center just opposite the road.M: Yes, that’s a good point.W: And the swimming pool, and gym downstairs.M: I don’t have time for sports ... Now can we take a look at the place? I don’t have much time today.W: Sure. Here’s the main bedroom. Isn’t it lovely?M: But is it quiet?W: Oh, it’s very quiet. And here is the second bedroom.M: Hmm. It’s very small.W: Well, second bedrooms are never as big as the master suite ...M: But this is really too small. Well, I’ll have to think about it.Conversation 5W: I have started learning to play the guitar.M: Have you?W: Yeah. You know, I’ve always been interested in guitar.

I was about 8 years oldwhen for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.56. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life.57. The underlined word "infinite" means_______A. bigB. limitlessC. normalD. small58. The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school that ________.A. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there’s a will, there’s a way59. What is the secret of happiness in the author's opinion?A. Success and wealth.B. Gifts and self-confidence.C. Enthusiasm and good health.D. Knowledge and achievements.60. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyB. w ealth can’t bring people any happiness and comfortC. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsD. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealth四．阅读填空（10分）Directions： Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I –can do environmentalism.”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Home Owners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothes lines. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”Title: 71.___________ in clothesline drying班级 ________姓名__________ 一．单选题（15分）二．完形填空Section A（18 分）Section B（12分）48.___________ 49. ________ 50. ___________ 51. ___________ 52. __________ 53. _________ 54. ___________ 55. ____________ 三．阅读理解（10分）___________________四. 阅读填空（10分）71. ___________________ 72. ___________________ 73. ___________________ 74. ____________________ 75. ___________________ 76. ____________________ 77. ___________________ 78. _____________________ 79. ___________________ 80. ____________________湘阴一中2015届英语周考试卷（十一）参考答案单项选择(1’×15=15分)21-35 CBCAC ABCAB BCBAC完型填空（1.5’ ×12=18分）36-47 CABAB ABBAD AD完型填空II（1.5’ ×8=12分）48, an 49. can 50. but 51. not/never52. which 53. us 54. through 55. because阅读理解（2’ ×5=10分）56-60 DBACD阅读填空（1’ ×10=10分）71.Opposite/different opinions 72. be banned73.
