Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a land where monsters (怪物) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes the king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the bookcontains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me’,” said Davis.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s reallygood to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows children that they can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”9. What happens to Max in the story of the book Where the Wild Things Are? A．He becomes the king of the world. B．He and the monsters become friends. C．He is sent to the forest by her mother. D．He has a terrible dream and feels scared.10. Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children .

C．Great. D．Confused.DOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just onemorning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.DO something relaxing before going to bed.EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.12.According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a few nights, you could be _____.A. lonelyB. seriousC. forgetfulD. depressed13.The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _____.A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day14.We can learn from the suggestions that _____.A. waking up late one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that nightB. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleepC. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have no sleep problemsD. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep15.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.C. Your eating habits will be broken because of lack of sleep.D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2016-2017学年高二英语上学期第一次联考试题
山西省汾阳市第二高级中学、文水县第二高级中学2016-2017学年高二英语上学期第一次联考试题本试题分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，满分120分，考试时间120分钟。
第Ⅰ卷为选择题，第Ⅱ卷为非选择题第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共 70分）第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从题中所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
ARecently Lonely Planet makes up the ten Asian tourist attractions, Shanghai also in the list of magic area.1. Hokkaido, JapanThough known primarily to the outside world for its ski resorts and powdery snow, Hokkaido's year-round beauty might soon become a more familiar sight to foreign visitors. The new bullet-train service from Tokyo should help.2. Shanghai, ChinaThe enormous metropolis of Shanghai -- China's most populous city -- has an historic urban core which sits alongside its status as a contemporary, global financial hub.3. Jeonju, South KoreaHundreds of traditional Korean houses remain in central Jeonju's Hanok village.4. Con Dao Islands, VietnamOnce the site of the infamous Con Dao prison, Vietnam's isolated archipelago of 16 islands known as the ConDaoIslands is starting to become known for its scenery and fresh seafood.5. Hong Kong, ChinaA junk boat set against the famous skyline might be the iconic shot of Hong Kong, but Lonely Planet picked the territory for its natural heritage miles away from Victoria Harbor.6.Ipoh, MalaysiaAround 200 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur, the former British colonial city is now a foodie destination, where local street food and boutique cafes abound.What’s more, Taiwan is also included in this book. The footbridge which connects small, uninhabited Sanxiantai Island to Taitung is celebrated for its eight looping arches. This coastal county is in Lonely Planet's list of top destinations in Asia to visit in 2016.1. If you want to see beautiful sightseeing by train, you’d better go to______.A. Shanghai, ChinaB. Hokkaido, JapanC. Jeonju, South KoreaD. Ipoh, Malaysia2. We can infer that Lonely Planet is the largest_______ book publisher in the world.A. scienceB. expedition and adventureC. travel guideD.nature3. There are _____ places in China in Lonely Planet's list of top destinations in Asia to visit in 2016.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BI have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”I am all for parent spectators (观众)cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.4. Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author.A. told her to shut upB. found another seatC. asked Grace for helpD. refused to talk to her 5. In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel .A. helplessB. impatientC. frightenedD. ashamed 6. The author is against parent spectators.A. keeping silent all the timeB. saying unpleasant wordsC. cheering on the playersD. leaving during halftimeCA lot of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high position, making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out. You turn to your best side and click. There it is --- your selfie.Over the past year, “selfie” has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.”Today it’s not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially related to young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online, according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center. So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?“The craze of the selfie celebrates regular people,” Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.” Posting selfi es also allows you to control your image online. “I like having the power to choose how I look, even if I’m making a funny face,” Samantha Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told Vogue.In addition, selfies “allow for a close friendship for l ong-distance friends, because you can see each other’s faces every day”, wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems. “There’s a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心） may start to be tied to the comments and ‘likes’ you get when you post a selfie, and they aren’t based on who you are ---they’re based on what you look like,” Weber told Vogue. “When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can plummet.”7. The first paragraph is intended to _________.A. introduce the topic of selfieB. describe how to enjoy selfieC. show the importance of selfieD. explain why selfie is popular8. How many reasons for the rise of selfie culture are mentioned in the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four9. What is Jill Weber’s opinion about selfies?A. Comments on selfie are based on who you are.B. Others’ response to selfies might affect one’s self-esteem.C. Selfies have more disadvantages than advantages.D. Selfies shouldn’t be encouraged for they lead to social problems.10. The underlined word “plummet” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. put upB. calm downC. pick upD. go downDIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.11. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job12. The earliest education was probably to .A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books13.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means““in Chinese.A. 圆满的B. 崭新的 C．公平的 D. 全面的14. It is expected that educated people will be able to .A. accept education as a way of livingB. take an interest in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math15. The passage mainly tells us that .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get good paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of living第二节：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（ABCD）中，选出可以填入空白的最佳答案。

After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”I am all for parent spectators (观众)cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the w ay to cheer on high school students or younger children.If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.4. Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author .A. told her to shut upB. found another seatC. asked Grace for helpD. refused to talk to her5. In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel.A. helplessB. impatientC. frightenedD. ashamed6. The author is against parent spectators .A. keeping silent all the timeB. saying unpleasant wordsC. cheering on the playersD. leaving during halftimeCA lot of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high position, making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out. You turn to your best side and click. There it is --- your selfie.Over the past year, “selfie” has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.”Today it’s not difficul t to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially related to young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online, according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center. So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?“The craze of the selfie celebrates regular people,” Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine ,“There ar e many more photographs available now of real people than models.”Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online. “I like having the power to choose how I look, even if I’m making a funny face,” Samanth a Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told Vogue.In addition, selfies “allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends, because you can see each other’s faces every day”, wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems. “There’s a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心） may start to be tied to the comments and ‘likes’ you get when you post a selfie, and they aren’t based on who you are ---they’re based on w hat you l ook like,” Weber told Vogue. “When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can plummet.”7. The first paragraph is intended to _________.A. introduce the topic of selfieB. describe how to enjoy selfieC. show the importance of selfieD. explain why selfie is popular8. How many reasons for the rise of selfie culture are mentioned in the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four9. What is Jill Weber’s opinion about selfies?A. Comments on selfie are based on who you are.B. Others’ response to selfies might affect one’s self-esteem.C. Selfies have more disadvantages than advantages.D. Selfies shouldn’t be encouraged for they lead to social problems.10. The underlined word “plummet” in the last parag raph is closest in meaning to __________.A. put upB. calm downC. pick upD. go downDIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.11. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job12. The earliest education was p robably to .A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books13.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means““in Chinese.A. 圆满的B. 崭新的 C．公平的 D. 全面的14. It is expected that educated people will be able to .A. accept education as a way of livingB. take an interest in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math15. The passage mainly tells us that .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get good paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of living第二节：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（ABCD）中，选出可以填入空白的最佳答案。
山西省汾阳市第二高级中学、文水二中2017-2018学年高一上学期第一次联考测试英语试题
2017－2018学年度第一学期高一英语联考测试题本试题分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。

AHow to Become a Better StudentMaybe you are not a good student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.Plan your time carefully.When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list，you should make a schedule(计划表) of your time. First arrange your time for eating，sleeping，dressing, etc. Then decide a good，regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems，but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study .Keep this place，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials. No games，radios or TV！When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly.When you get home from school，go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude about the tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be overly worried．There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discovermany others after you have tried these.1.According to the text，a schedule may NOT include ________.A. a list of things you have to doB. what you have to do every dayC. enough time for entertainmentD. something will happen unexpectedly2.A good place for study should be a place where ________.A. everything needed is availableB. a writing desk is in the corner of a room onlyC. nothing is there except your study materialsD. it is comfortable to stay3.The underlined sentence in Tip 5 suggests “________”．A.

In the writer's opinion，there are five methods for your study.C. It is necessary to go over your notes at home.D. There are many other methods besides those mentioned．BThe Internet has become part of teenage life. There's a report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies，some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way，a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice. For example, it's good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend off line，let your parents know.Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens to use the Internet and keep students away from bad sites.5.From the report, about ______ students between 10——18 years old in the seven Chinese cities use the Internet often.A.3,375B.1,280C.2,100D.3,0006.What do most of the students do on the Internet?A.

Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a land where monsters (怪物) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes the king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the bookcontains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me’,” said Davis.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows children that they can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”9. What happens to Max in the story of the book Where the Wild Things Are?A．He becomes the king of the world. B．He and the monsters become friends.C．He is sent to the forest by her mother. D．He has a terrible dream and feels scared.10. Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children . A．become more imaginative B．understand their own fearsC．develop good habits of life D．learn to draw nice pictures11. How do experts feel about the larger words in the book?A．Angry. B． Worried. C．Great. D．Confused.DOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don’t get enough slee p? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions: GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.DO something relaxing before going to bed.EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.12.According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a few nights, you could be _____.A. lonelyB. seriousC. forgetfulD. depressed13.The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _____.A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day14.We can learn from the suggestions that _____.A. waking up late one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that nightB. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleepC. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have no sleep problemsD. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep15.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.C. Your eating habits will be broken because of lack of sleep.D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Suspended hundreds of feet above the Moscow skyline, the 22-year-old boy shows the new Russian craze of extreme urban climbing.Max has been breaking into the highest buildings in his home city, Moscow, since the age of 17. “Many think that I am a madman,” said Max. “While hanging from a building, I perfectly concentrate on my body and I plan carefully ahead. Without special preparations, I would not advise anyone to do this.”Never does Max have a fear of heights. Instead, he has a strong desire to rise above the others and look at the world from an unusual point of view. So far Max’s roof-topping craze has taken him from Moscow to oilier Russian cities. But he plans one Hay to come to the West—Britain, France and even the U.S.Currently, extreme urban climbing has become a youth sub-culture in Russia and each year more and more young Russians are taking to the skies of their cities. It is an absolutely frightening extreme sport for most people. But brave men like Max enjoy climbing to the top of skyscrapers and hanging3from them with no belts.However, breaking into tall buildings faces conflicts with laws in most cities, and following their dangerous entertainment, there may be arrestment and imprisonment (坐牢). Usually climbers try to remain unnoticed from both security guards and police. There are exceptions when the large housing companies invite them to access their buildings, because the photos taken by those climbers may give them quite good advertising. But, after all, it is not a craze you should try! 4. What does Max Polazov want to show according to the passage? A. His challenges in daily life.B. His great talent in sports.C. The bravery of Russian youths.D. A new craze in an extreme activity.5. Who might sometimes organize extreme climbing events? A. Security guards and police.B. Large housing companies.C. Advertising companies.D. Professional photographers.6. What is the best title for the passage? A. Addicted to HeightsB. Unnoticed ClimbersC. Brave Young RussiansD. Well-prepared Extreme Events7. What is the text probably taken from? A. A commercial advertisement. B. A social life magazine. C. A book review.D. An academic newspaper.CSmall talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call it idle (无意义的) chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn’t do anything. They consider small talk not important.However, small talk is important.These exchanges can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life.Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to get to know that person better - or not.4Let’s say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they only want to talk about cats. You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy (同感), toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.Small talk could even help our larger communities --- our relationships with neighbors and colleagues. Exchanging a recipe with a neighbor in your apartment building may make her noises upstairs easier to live with.And small talk may make us happier! In 2011, researchers at the University of Chicago asked some participants in a study to talk to people while commuting (上下班往返) to work on a train. They found that those who made small talk with strangers were happier than those who sat alone. 8. Who are the people we may make small talk with?A. Only some strangers.B. People who jump the queue.C. Only people we already know.D. People we meet on many occasions. 9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Different people have different opinions about small talk.B. Most people like small conversations about random topics.C. Idle chitchat is liked by almost everybody investigated.D. Only a small number of people are fond of small talk.10. To adapt yourself to a woman neighbor’s noises more easily, you may_________. A. exchange a recipe with herB. learn how to keep a cat from herC. build healthy work relationships with herD. begin a conversation about a really deep topic 11. What’s the purpose of the writer writing this text? A. To remind us to make small talk rather than speak louder. B. To prove that some researchers in 2011 did a good job. C. To advise us to make small talk in all places. D. To tell us that small talk is very important.D5A Japanese company is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or comprehension problems to read written text more easily. Called the Oton Glass, the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece, both fitted to its frame.Half of the lens (镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearer’s eyes back to the first camera, which tracks eye movement. The other camera captures the text. Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking (眨眼) to trigger the glasses. Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system, which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece. If the system isunable to identify the words, the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them.The Oton Glass lead designer, Keisuke Shimakage, started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father, who had developed dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell. While his father eventually recovered, Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder.Currently, the Oton Glass is seeking funding. Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen (roughly $47).Smart glasses aren’t a new concept, but it’s difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed favorably. It could, perhaps, be that previous products tried to do too much, or were too expensive. That’s why Intel’s Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features, like its camera, LCD screen, and speakers. The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience, and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them. 12. What was Keisuke’s original purpose in designing the Oton Glass? A. To treat his father’s disease. B. To translate text into sound. C. To assist his father to read.D. To make written text easier to read.13. What is the right order how the Oton Glass works?6a. The camera captures the words.b. The wearer stares at the text.c. The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.d. The cloud system turns the text into sound.e. The wearer blinks to get the glasses working. A. a, b, e, c, dB. e, b, c, d, aC. b, d, a, e, cD. b, e, a, d, c14. The underlined part “stripped out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________. A. improvedB. removedC. increasedD. invented15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The advantages of the Oton Glass. B. The characteristics of smart glasses. C. Consumers’ evaluation of the Oton Glass. D. The target audiences of various smart glasses. 第二节 （共5小题小题；；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容根据短文内容，，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10：00 and 4: 00. Since I work from 9: 00 to 5: 30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45minute lunch break. Unfortunately, th e theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus.By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office.The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.

Then, suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test , he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer. 9．The writer wrote the passage to________.A．give you a piece of advice on a job interviewB．tell you how to meet a job interviewerC．describe the aptitude testD．advice you how to find a job10．Why do the interviewers ask such questions?A．They want to discover what the interviewees know.B．They are curious about the answers.C．They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.D．They just ask questions without thinking much.11．According to the writer，in an aptitude test，Chinese job applicants should________.A．not tell the truth B．learn to tell what they really thinkC．be more enthusiastic D．try to find out what the examiner really want to knowDI still read out loud to my son. He is in fifth grade and an avid reader. He plows through books and is currently devouring (津津有味地看) The Hobbit which he calls “addicting”. But he still likes it when I read out loud to him before bed.I've always read to him, I could probably recite Goodnight Moon by heart and I like to think it has helped to instill his love of reading in him.But as he's gotten older, reading to him has changed. The books are longer, of course, and sometimes he corrects me if I misread a word in the dim light of his room. But what's really changed is what we both get out of it.When I was in fifth grade, I had a wonderful teacher, Mr Hanks, who would read aloud to the class after lunch. I remember him reading Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and me hanging on every word. I could hardly wait for lunch to be over to find out what happened next to little Charlie Bucket.Now I'm giving the same gift to my own son. Last week he brought me a copy of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol he found on the shelf and asked me to read it to him. One of the bonuses of reading to an older child is that you can revisit a beloved book from your past or be exposed to a book you have never read yourself.Such was the case with A Christmas Carol which I admit I had never read. So when I started reading I worried that it would be difficult since the book uses expressions and the language Dickens used in the 1840's. I found myself having to define things such as braziers and balustrades. But in the wonderful descriptiveness of Dickens' prose, my son was especially taken with his description of Scrooge's house where he had often played hideandseek with other friends. 12．When it comes to reading out loud to the author's son, she feels________.A．tired B．curious C．nervous D．happy13．It can be inferred from the text that ________.A．the author's son enjoys her reading to himB．the author puts too much pressure on her sonC．the author's son dislikes reading on his ownD．the author finds it unnecessary to read to her son14．Compared with Goodnight Moon, A Christmas Carol ________.A．is much shorter B．is harder to understandC．is better known to the author D．is more popular with younger children15．The author writes the text in order to ________.A. encourage children to read more booksB. recommend some excellent books to readersC. persuade parents to read out loud to their childrenD. share her experience of reading out loud to her son第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus.By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip.

I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.
