AThe house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d b een through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...21. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.B. He had breakfast at home.C. He left a note on the freezer.D. He left the house quietly.22. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A. The height of the first rocks.B. The change in the position of the sun.C. The ups and downs of the waves.D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A. Tim was the only person on the beach.B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C. The sea looked like a piece of gold.D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.24. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.A. loneliness to crazinessB. anxiousness to excitementC. eagerness to nervousnessD. helplessness to happinessBYou may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alo ne in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.B. The ways people honor mothers.C. The history of Mother’s Day.D. The contribution of mothers.26. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?A. In ancient Greece.B. In the US.C. In England.D. In Italy.27. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient GreeceB. all the countries don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in MayC. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering SundayD. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being28. The last paragraph tells us that _____.A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers.B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s DayC. understan ding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s DayD. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every dayCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium (钙)content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending(推荐) skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.29. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later30. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. It exists in milk in great amountD. It’s used in sleeping drugs31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health32. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.DA. In May 2016B. In May 2017C. In September 2017D. In September 201634. Who is more likely to get the job?A. Sam, English major, member of the college basketball teamB. Judy, IT staff with night classes, children’s basketball team coachC. Ted, computer major, basketball fan, free on evenings and weekendsD. Molly, part-time programmer, high school basketball player, new mother35. Whom should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville?A. JorgeB. MichaelC. GauriD.

16—17学年上学期高二第一次月考英语试题(附答案)(2)
学益高二年级英语月考第一卷第一部分:阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWith big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory(配饰) for working women, health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern.Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.“I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up,” said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. “We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they’re anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. We’re really going to see women with more and more prob lems later on if we continue the big purse craze.”William Case, a physical therapist(临床医生)in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers “to place a cute, educational caution tag(标签) on all bags to inform buyers of potential neck and shoulder dangers.”Above all, he suggested correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders upright. Patients should also often change the size and weight of purses carried.“The extra-large purses are quite extraordinary. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I don’t know how aware they are of the potential problems,” Case said.Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient(高效率的) ways of carrying a load, according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. “This causes a great imbalance,”he said. “If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light.”1. Jane Salder would “look for their purse and pick it up” in order to see whether the purses .A. contained enoughB. were worth a lot of poundsC. were too heavyD. were too large2. Which correctly explains the meaning of the underlined word “posture” in the 4th paragraph?A. The way you position your body.B. The part of your body where you place a weight.C. The strength you use to carry a weight.D. The height of the weight you carry.3. None of the experts advised big bag users to .A. be aware of the big-bag problemsB. wear big bags in the right wayC. avoid using big bags very oftenD. give up the fashion to keep fitBBEIJING, China(CNN)—Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather.More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say.In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China—places that used to have mild winters.“We’ve never seen such a cold weather lasting for such a long time,” said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s Changsha, Hunan Province. “The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, a nd not this bad.”The snow has blocked roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers stranded(滞留)，officials say. Many of them are going home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival.The Lunar New Yea r travel is China’s busiest travel period of the year. But the snow is changing travel plans. Railway and highway routes have been brought to a pause, a situation in which all activity or movement has stopped and several regional airports have been closed.In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers were stranded in the past few days when a power failure in neighboring Hunan seriously damaged the regular train services, local officials said. About 100,000 passengers crowded the square in front of the train station, while others found shelter in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains.More terrible weather is expected. China’s weather office on Monday issued a warning of more severe(恶劣的) snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of stranded travelers will surely increase.4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Travelers in ChinaB. Snowstorms Cause Economic LossesC. Dealing with Terrible WeatherD. Snowstorms Hit Parts of China5. The word “trapped”underlined in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“”.A. beatenB. disturbedC. blockedD. destroyed6. We can know from the passage that .A. the coming snowstorms will leave more people strandedB. there will be more snowstorms next yearC. snowstorms usually cause a power failureD. more people are going home for Lunar New Year this year7. The passage is probably taken from a .A. guidebookB. news reportC. science magazineD. textbookCSince 1989 University of Phoenix Online offered online degree programs to working adults around the country.

A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while you’re traveling.Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits（装备）.“But their eyes glaze （呆滞）over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?”Stephens asked. ”In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with ’buy travel bags’and everything else,” he added.The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise（危及...的安全）your identity if lost or stolen while you’re on vocation.Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you（not in your wallet）or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.‘Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifyin g documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”12．According to passage, _______can destroy one’s vacation the most quickly.A．being lost on vacation B．losing money or credit cardsC．living in a bad hotel.

AThere are two factors（因素）which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the so rt of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, s ome being more capable than others. But no matter how gooda brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low ord er of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual－the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individ ual has less chances environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never obtain the level of intellige nce of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual' s intelligence can be shown by the case history of the twins. When they were three months old, their parents died, and the y were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by pa rents of low intelligence in a separate community with poor ed ucational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do opportunity to be encouraged intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were i n their late teens, when they were given tests to measure thei r intelligence. Mark's IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points highe r than his twin brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, h aving similar brains, would have tested at roughly the same le vel.1. This passage can best be titled______.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the Brain Influences IntelligenceThe best statement of the main idea of this passage is that___ ___.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining h is intelligenceC. environment is important in determining a person's intellige nceD. persons having similar brains will have roughly the same in telligenceAccording to the passage, the average IQ is______.A. 85B. 100C. 110D. 1254. This passage suggests that an individual's IQ______.A. can be foretold at birthB. stays the same thro ughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by hi s childhoodBShort and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class pick ed for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with alaugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gy m classes in England's rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that c hanged him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby for est. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradu ally, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing hi s speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first m arathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famo us in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic O cean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's scho ol of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explore rs and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British count ry boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “J ohn Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are com pletely crazy,'” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his fi rst long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbi te, had a closer encounter with a polar bear and pushed his b ody to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himsel f than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe th e transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.5. The turning point in Saunders' life came when _____A. he started to play ball gamesB. he got a mountain bike at age 15C. he ran his first marathon at age 18D. he started to receive Ridgway's training6. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A. dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasyB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic7. What do we know about Saunders?A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.8. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph prob ably means_____.A. ExcitedB. ConvincedC. DelightedD. FascinatedCToo much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies sugges t in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on chil dren.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thi rd-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children wi thout bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the res ults don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that alr eady poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknig ht during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school .In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bed room TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that childre n shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.9. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might＿＿＿＿.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be inter ested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have had c omputers in their bedrooms10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.11. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning HabitsDThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San F rancisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning aft er a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a we ek away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dea ling with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting an d San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to ke ep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad－looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife o r a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetli ght. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run f aster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been m y wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched th e sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhe re to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside,“Alisa Camacho?”, I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and o ut jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes.“Is this what you'r e looking for?”he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get m uch sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also ha d gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the ci ty couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to he lp each other.12. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B.

Yesterday he was set free after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (担保金) of $1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became friends to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich yo u with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me!I need to rescue them. E xcuse me. I have to go now.”1. Why was the man put into prison?A. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.B.

The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s bod y, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.She is a membe r of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”8. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?A．They were friendly to her. B．They showed sympathy to her.C．They looked down upon her. D．They were afraid of her.9.

What can be the best title of the passage?A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind StaresC．A seriously burned angel of Hope D．Permanent Scars And Pain For a GirlDAttitudes to AIDS NowMost people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths."While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995. 51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures. 67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs o f complacency.12. What do activists worry about?A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.B. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.C. People may stop worrying about AIDSD. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline. 13.

According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?A. More and more people die of AIDS now.B. The country is making progress against AIDS.C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.D. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.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2017高二上学期第一次月考英语试题含答案第二部分阅读理解（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，从每題所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAs a boy, Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunities to go on working as a life-saver.1. When he was a small boy, Sander was influenced by books about ______.A. the hospital.B. the war.C. the sea.D. the countryside. 2. At the age of 14, Sanders ______.A. worked as a doctor in the hospital.B. got along well with the patients.C. was interested in talking with doctors and patients.D. helped to clean the medicine bottles in the hospital.3. When the war was over, he ______.A. had the happiest time of his life.B. started to hate the sight of blood while working.C. served the countrymen under an old doctor.D. had few chances to be a “life-saver” because he was younger.BIn the United States and several other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their hometowns. Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms. Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant. Eventually, the top teams go to the Little League World Series.One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World War Ⅱ when the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it hadspread to Europe. Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year.At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally, a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues, ten of them as an All－Star player. By and large, youngsters play baseball for fun, but their parents are proud of them.4．The mothers and fathers of Little League players ________．A．play in the World Series B．travel with coachesC．give the teams money D．help run the games5．In what year did baseball come into being?A．1739 B．1939 C．1955 D．18396．Why do most players take part in Little League?A．To play in the Major League.B．To have fun.C．They expect a profit from All－Star games.D．They want to learn how to serve as umpires.7．What is TRUE about players today?A．Little League is only for neighborhood boys. B．Girl players have to buy their suits.C．Girls and boys can participate up to age eighteen.D．Children can only play until age twelve.CA man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet. The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped. He cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage（排水）, the sand can become stretches of quicksand.Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定)die? No, for men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌)that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body. A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men can manage to roll to safety and reach firm ground.8. What is quicksand?A. A piece of solid ground mixed with water.B. A pool near the beach filled with water.C. A deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.D. A piece of sinking land in the water.9. The underlined part “giving way” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. shaking and movingB. allowing others to be firstC. rising to the topD. breaking or breaking into pieces10. A person stops sinking when the weight of his body is _____ that of the sand hisbody has displaced.A. greater thanB. the same asC. half ofD. close to11. Men can manage to reach firm ground by ______.A. holding feet still and moving arms slowlyB. lying back calmly and moving arms frequentlyC. stretching out arms and swimming quicklyD. swimming quickly and moving arms slowlyDThe Parthenon(帕特农神庙) in Athens is a building with a long and complex(复杂的) history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque (清真寺), and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures(塑像) much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained.Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities，removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic trends. These sculptures were gained from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they have all been on show to the public, free of charge.Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the return of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum Board of Trustees’ legal title to the sculptures.The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures. It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced — and was influenced by — the other civilizations that it came across.12．For most of its history people went to the Parthenon to ________.A. admire the goddess AthenaB. pray to their godC. search for sculpturesD. learn about its complex history13．What can we infer from the passage?A. The sculptures introduced ancient Greek culture to the west.B. Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world culture.C. The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures.D. The British Museum is the most suitable place for protecting these sculptures. 14．What can we learn about Lord Elgin from the passage?A. He is greatly admired in Greece.B. He worked for the Ottoman Empire.C. He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed.D. He had a deep interest in Greek culture.15．The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell________.A. the history of the Parthenon and its sculpturesB. what people can see in the British MuseumC. why the British Museum refuses to return the sculpturesD. the influence of Greece on British culture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，并在答題卡上将该项涂黑。

ATen years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I usedto play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that anymore. There’s a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that is why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?1．Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?A. His job.B. His pay.C. His means of transport.D. His health.2．According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?A. He got higher pay.B. His working hours weren’t long.C. He found it very stressful.D.
