When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Beforethey left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. Myfrien ds spoke little English, and they thought “V ACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacations”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friend s went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION”on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would li ke some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
26. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.
A. learning English

28. “NO V ACANCIES” in English means ______.
A. no free rooms

They only see strange people singing in a foreign language and wearing funny costumes. They're too quick to judge and a lot of people have believed stupid ideas about opera without ever actually seeing one. If one takes opera seriously, with an open heart, and goes to several good live performances, I don't see any reason why he or she would dislike or hate it. The following tips can help you learn to enjoy opera.First of all, if you are new to opera, start with a short, well-known title, such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. In the beginning, avoid difficult operas with complex storylines. If your first experience is not fun, then you will expect all operas to be boring. Moreover, before going to a performance, do a little bit of homework: learn the story of the opera. If you know about the main characters and the story before you start watching, it will be much easier to understand what is happening on the stage. Finally, the most important way to enjoy opera is to keep an open mind. If you believe that you will enjoy watching opera, then you will most likely enjoy it. Think of opera as a live TV show. Opera shows the same things—love and hate, good and evil and humans and nature—that are found in many of today's popular movies and best-selling novels. In fact, many of these movies and novels use stories copied from famous operas!Opera is full of catchy, wonderful melodies （旋律）. It's full of drama and laughter. It's full of wonder and life. Opera can be fun to watch, and it allows the audience to experience different cultures. Many people have enjoyed it for hundreds of years, and by following the tips above, you can enjoy it, too. Indeed, opera will change the minds of the people who once hated it. And most importantly, as one of the most diverse art forms out there, opera helps you appreciate different performance styles from all over the world.4．Many people think that opera is boring because .A. it is like a TV showB. they dislike its storylinesC. they know little about itD. its music style is old-fashioned5．Which is a good way for beginners to enjoy opera?A. To start with a long opera.B. To learn to sing an opera.C. To master a foreign language.D. To get familiar with an opera's story.6．Many famous operas, popular movies, and best-selling novels .A. share a similar storyB. have the same writerC. teach people about lifestylesD. help people keep an open mind7．What does the underlined word “diverse” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Ancient.B. Humorous.C. Various.D. Exciting.C"If music is the medicine of the soul(灵魂), let it play on," said a famous person. I think he said so because probably he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.[来源Depression(抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness, headache, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feelings make you healthy.Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.8. According to the famous person in Paragraph 1, music can .A. treat many kinds of diseasesB. help you keep healthy in your mindC. take the place of medicine in treating illnessD. make you remember things that happened9. Good music helps people remove stress mainly by .A. letting people have a good sleepB. making people focus only on important thingsC. showing something new to peopleD. making people think positively10. Which of the following is NOT a reason for depression mentioned in the passage?A. Stress.B. Smoking.C. Loss of concentration.D. Failure in business.11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. The Health Benefits of Listening to MusicB. Stress Can Bring Us Many Kinds of DiseasesC. Some Diseases Have Something to Do With MusicD. Tips For Us to Live a Healthy And Comfortable LifeDEinstein's $1.5 Million Tip to a BellboyIn addition to being a scientist, a philosopher （哲学家），and somewhat of a funny guy, Albert Einstein was something even more admirable: a good tipper. We know this because a piece of paper the Nobel Prize winner gave a bellboy as a tip sold for more than $1.5 million at auction （拍卖）.As the story goes, Einstein was traveling to Japan to give a lecture series when hefound out he'd been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. News of the award spreadquickly and Einstein, somewhat bothered by all of the attention, kept himself in hisroom at a hotel in Tokyo.A bit embarrassed by all the publicity he was receiving, Einstein tried to write downhis thoughts and feelings. Just then, a bellboy came to Einstein's room to deliver a message. Not expecting him, Einstein didn't have any small change to tip him, and instead gave the bellboy a pair of the writings he'd been working on. Aware that his fame in the world was rising, Einstein supposedly told the Japanese messenger the notes would turn out to be more valuable than a regular tip if he was lucky.The two notes were both written in German and signed by Einstein himself. The first note offered the professor's “theory for happiness” It read: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness （不安）.” The second one simply said, “Where there's a will, there's a way.”Tested or not, the theory does appear to be at least somewhat correct. According to a study of the connection between the life success and well-being of more than 275,000 people, happiness creates personal and professional success more often than success in those areas leads to happiness.Even if his philosophical thoughts contain no scientific value, the notes do shine a little light on Einstein's private thoughts. “What we're doing here is paintin g the picture of Einstein —the man, the scientist, his effect on the world---through his writings,” said Roni Grosz, who is in charge of the world's largest Einstein collection at Hebrew University.Whether the bellboy was able to benefit from Einstein's happiness theory is unclear, but the notes did eventually bringsome joy to one of his relatives when they were sold — the second note brought in $250,000, while the first one that lists Einstein's happiness theory sold for $1.56 million.12.How did Einstein feel about the public attention brought by winning the Nobel Prize?A. ConfidentB.TroubledC. EncouragedD. Regretful13. Why did Einstein give the bellboy the two notes as a tip?A. He didn't have small change with him at the time.B. The bellboy was interested in his thoughts and feelings.C . The bellboy delivered the message that he won the prize.D . The notes would become more valuable than a regular tip.14. From the passage we can know that .A. the second note sold for more moneyB. Roni Grosz is painting a picture of EinsteinC . Einstein went to Japan to give some lecturesD . the two notes brought great wealth to the bellboy15. Which of the following is most similar to Einstein's “theory for happiness”？A . People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.B . Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.C . Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.D .The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.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。

高二英语月考试题2018.9考试范围：Units1---3 考试时间：120分钟满分：150分一、听力部分（共30分）二、阅读理解(共30分）1.（8分）AFrancis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers(哲人)of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使).Two years later he went to England to study law.At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament(议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it ter,by doing experiments,the scientists could see that any one cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.（21）According to the passage we know that ________.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of EnglandB.Francis Bacon had good educationC.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23（22）It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for________.A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in natureB.his booksC.his method,inductive reasoningD.being a member of parliament（23）His essays gave many useful lessons on ________.A.studyingB.conversationC.friends and healthful livingD.All of the above.（24）The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means________.A.discovering general laws from particular facts or examplesB.reaching a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular caseC.studying things as they used to beD.studying things in a particular way2.（8分）BDogs are man's best friends.This everyday saying may contain some truth，but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like.For example，cats can be excellent house pets，too.People enjoy the friendship of cats.Cats love to keep close to their owners.Cats are quite playful.They love to run after balls，or play with anything hanging from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners play the game with them.Just like a dog，a cat can be trained to perform tricks（诡计）or avoid unwanted behaviour.Cats do not have to be walked.They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play，and they do their business in their litter boxes.So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their litter boxes.Washing a cat is almost never necessary because cats usually clean themselves.In addition，cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry.Unlike some pets，most cats willnot destroy the furniture when left alone.They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family.Unlike dogs，cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly.Also，cats don't often have “accidents”．Mother cats train their babies to use the litter box，and most cats will use it from that time on.Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals，especially as they grow older.（25）From the passage，we can learn that ______.A.cats would rather play with themselvesB.cats often play tricks on their ownersC.many people think dogs are man's best friendsD.cats sleep less than any other animal does（26）What can be concluded（推断） from the passage?A.Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B.Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C.Cats are afraid of being left alone at home.D.Cats don't like to clean themselves.（27）In the fourth paragraph，we can learn that cats are ______.A.playfulB.cuteC.politeD.noisy（28）Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D.3.（6分）Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A.live in groupsB.have large brainsC.are warmbloodedD.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4.（8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can losejobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means ______.A.citizensB.passengersC. populationD.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists' customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD.we can't build too many support facilities三、阅读填空(共10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI was in Houston a few weeks ago, and needed to be back home in Austin bymidmorning the next day. Though I usually planned to leave that evening, for some reasonI had to choose to set off after the midnight.My car was about halfway between Houston and Austin when I realized I left animportant file, and knew I had to return to get it. I took the first exit I could, but when Irounded the corner, an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane. I swerved (急转弯)to avoid it, and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car. So I pulledinto a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 4:15 am. I’ve lived inu rban areas most of my life. I’m fairly street-wise and don’t become frightened easily, butI knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood.There was no one in Houston to pick me up. I immediately locked the doors andpicked up my phone to call a tow truck (拖车). Soon a young man knocked on my driver’sside window and asked if he could help me. Judging from his appearance, he was far froma mad man, but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me. So I lied to him. After awhile, he asked again, but this time, I politely refused and told him the tow truck was dueany minute. He finally said, “Madam, you need help. A tow truck in Houston will arriveanywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never (which I knew was true), and youaren’t going anywhere un til you change your flat tire(轮胎).”After considering thoroughly, I got out. He looked surprised, but got right to worktrying to find the spare. It took a while, since it was stored underneath his truck. Hechanged the tire, returned the seat to its place and said, “Thank you for letting me help you.You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me.Would it be okay if I gave you a hug?” When I recovered, I gave him a giant hug. I leftwith a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature.1.What’s the matter with the author’s car?A.It couldn’t get started. B. Its tire blew out.C. It was out of control.D. Its oil ran out.2.Why did the author refuse the man’s help in the beginning?A.Because she thought the man was playing jokes.B.Because she felt annoyed and sad for her broken car.C.Because she thought the man might be a bad man.D.Because she wanted to go home as quickly as possible.3.Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Cautious and brave.B. Warm-hearted and dishonest.C. Stubborn and brave.D. Narrow-minded and dishonest.4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Help in the Dead of NightB. Attitude Determines EverythingC. The Fight against Robbing on my WayD. An Unexpected Traffic AccidentB“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be m isfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy, a big boy…called me a freak (怪人).”He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people,” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “you’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. B ut it’s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success,and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father,“Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal that the mother had no outer ears.“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,” His father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”5. Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?A. Because her son had a tiny faceB. Because she saw her son crying.C. Because her son was born imperfect.D. Because her son was in her arms.6. Which word can describe Mother’s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?A. Nervous.B. SympatheticC. ProudD. Angry.7.

Who Gave Me the Ears?D. Who Is My Best Respectable Person?CThe idea of changing the world seems very crazy, but there are a number of small everyday things we can do to make the world better. Community centers, parks, libraries, homeless shelters, hospitals and schools are all places where students can make a difference through service.Alisia Orosco, 10, wanted to show her love and care to the sick kids at University Children’s Hospital in Texas, where her brother had been a patient. She ea rned money by doing part-time jobs and used it to buy different toys for the children in hospital. Now she visits three hospitals every year with bags of toys. “I hope to help as many kids as I can, “Alisia says. “It makes me happy to make them smile.”High school students in a town of Washington made a difference to the lives of some needy children by building a playground at a workers’ camp. They got a lot of help from a building supply store which provided free building materials for the project.Teens in New Jersey decided to offer their help at a local soup kitchen where people with no homes can get free food. But there wasn’t one. They created a one-day soup kitchen and were able to feed 60 needy people and allow them to take the rest home. Their efforts got more people to understand the great need of the poor in their community. Because of their efforts and success, a permanent soup kitchen was created with the $ 10,000 National Award they received from Newman’s Own.High school students in Las Vegas helped 30 homeless adults prepare resumes during a job fair they held at the area’s largest homeless shelter. At least nine of the adults later found jobs.9.

First, the dog has to be at least 1 year old to be allowed to apply for the training. Second, the dog has lived forat least 1 year with the owner.

It is believed that each breed has special attitudes and behavior that are useful for healing or health purposes. Some of the best breeds for therapy dog are Saint Bernard, Pomeranian, Airedale Terrier and more. Please put in mind that the mentioned breeds are merely examples; there are many more breeds that can also be such great candidates for therapy dogs.HealthOne of the most important therapy dog qualifications is that the dog should be healthy. The health requirement is fairly complicated but is heavily essential. A thorough health examination should be done by an approved or certified veterinarian.FeeEnrolling your dog to a training program will basically cost money. Some of the best training programs are provided by non-profit organizations; they do not receive any fund or financial support from government, so they merely count on donations. Commonly, it may cost you around $20 to $190.TestAs a part of requirements for a therapy dog, a series of tests will be conducted by the training organization. The animal has to pass the entire tests to be certified as a therapy dog. It is also possible that some organizations are working together to provide a series of tests to ensure the dogs’ ability to handle many different situations and to see how the dog behaves.13.

Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”.Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.4．What is the present situation of tonic food?A．It is catching less attention.B．It is enjoyed by many young people.C．It is well-known worldwide.D．It is becoming increasingly popular.5．What is believed to benefit new mothers?A．Chinese cabbage.B．Fruit tea.C．Fish soup.D．Sesame oil hot pot.6．Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．Medicine.B．Restaurant.C．Manufacture.D．Agriculture.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Charm of Chinese CuisineB．The Popularity of Tonic FoodC．An Introduction of Chinese Tonic FoodD．Differences Between Hot Food and Cold FoodIn 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia.Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke.Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co-founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship.Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech-language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect.Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination.The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.”8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The consequences of a stroke.B．The huge aphasia sufferers.C．The causes of a stroke.D．The symptoms of aphasia.9．Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group?A．To provides companionship for lonely people.B．To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers.C．To work on a medical cure for aphasia.D．To answer the call of MIT.10．According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group?A．It offers them financial assistance.B．It helps them regain their speech completely.C．It creates a caring community for them.D．It conducts extensive research on their conditions.11．Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story?A．Turn lemons into lemonade.B．Let nature take its course.C．As you sow, so shall you reap.D．Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Do you have a brain for math? New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters (脑神经传递素)—— glutamate (谷氨酸) and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) can predict mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects (实验对象) extending a range of six- year-olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity and learning. Based on prior research, the focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities—— the left intraparietal sulcus(IPS 顶叶内沟) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 脑额中回).The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half later.Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of 14 to 18 year-olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a student was still studying maths or had stopped that subject years prior.Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on whether certain learning interventions (干预) can help those children less interested in math so these brain regions still get the developmental workout they need.“ Not every adolescent enjoys maths so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as maths.” says Cohen Kadosh. 12．What is the new study aimed at?A．Revealing the structure of brain.B．Testing the link between brain regions.C．Exploring mathematical abilities of the subjects.D．Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.13．What can be learned from paragraph 3 and 4?A．The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.B．Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.C．Neurotransmitter levels can predict mathematical ability into the future.D．The levels of Neurotransmitters in the MFG will affect math skills.14．How can math education be improved according to Cohen Kadosh?A．By training key relevant brain areas.B．By tracking slow learners’ early learning.C．By teaching math learners individually.D．By improving the levels of GABA．15．What can be the best title of the text?A．Ways to Promote Math SkillsB．Factors Affecting Math EducationC．Brain Activities Involved in Math StudyD．Neurotransmitters Predicting Math AbilityMore mainstream sources of news such as newspapers, radio and IV aren’t gone yet, but the Internet is growing and entrenching itself as the preferred source. Here are some of the reasons why the Internet is now the best source of news people hive.Online news is faster and more convenient while on the go. Soon after a major story occurs, it takes a few hours for news channels to report it live on cable. 16Social media makes news more relevant. Social media platforms are not just limited to sharing pictures and posting updates about our daily routines. 17 For example, when there is breaking news on the Internet, people can make comments and post their thoughts regarding the event. As a result, they get into a dialogue where different opinions are presented and debated.18 On the other hand, if you get news from cable TV,you have very limited options to discuss.You can get news directly from its source. Many newsmakers are already active on the Internet. Since all these newsmakers have an online presence. People can get news directly from the concerned source, public figures, and newsmakers. 19 . Their social media presence is verified (证实的) and it is easier to trust information coming from them.20 For generation Z, cable TV is limited to sports and movie channels. They don'tsit in front of the TV to watch a news bulletin. There primary source of information is the Internet. This is how they have grown up. It's unlikely they'll move away from digital anytime soon. And since this younger generation is the future, digital or Internet news is too.A．The future is digital.B．Traditional journalism still holds great value.C．That is, news doesn't have to be reported to you.D．This makes everyday news quite relevant for a while.E．The Internet is quick to judge and demand an apology.F．However, people can get news faster through social media.G．More importantly, it is a great way to understand the public’s perspective on certain issues.二、完形填空At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele from Virginia stood out as the winner of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge.

The thinking goes 36 someone living in China around the first century B．C．37 (throw) a piece of bamboo on a fire and it exploded with a bang. Bamboo stalks (节) contain air pockets that can expand and blow up in extreme heat. Chinese travelers would carry bamboo on journeys in case they needed to create 38 loud noise to scare away wild animals.The next major development came around the ninth century, when gunpowder was invented.Chinese producers loaded up bamboo stalks with gunpowder 39 (create) perhaps the world’s first manufactured fireworks, and later began using paper tubes as well. These were employed to ward off evil spirits and celebrate births and weddings. By the 12th century, fireworks were being lit 40 entertainment purposes in China’s imperial court. Around the 14th century, primitive fireworks then made their way to Europe, 41 Italian artists constructed displays like theatrical sets called “machines” and set off fireworks inside them.Fireworks became far 42 (complex) thanks to advances in chemistry. The 19th century saw potassium chlorate (a chemical) 43 (use) to bring out brilliant colors in fireworks, such as red and green, and enhance their44 (bright).Over the years, innovations in technology led to some curious suggestions for 45 fireworks could help solve modern problems.

高二一月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.（10分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.（7.5分）From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s. It won’t disappoint us.W: Oh really I had to go to a boring work event at that time, so I couldn’t come last year.M: Yes! I got so many things for my model train set.W: Like whatM: Well, the coolest things I got were some tiny little trees. They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods.ChatGPT,the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI,remembers the thread of your dialogue,using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses.Deriving its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet,it is fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning.It is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand in just a few seconds.The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education,and even researchers.The use of AI tools in copy-writing has sparked an outcry around the world.In the United States,public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to block ChatGPT from their devices and WiFi networks.In France,the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban on its use.But experts question whether bans like these are really effective.On one hand,students will always be able to access tools like ChatGPT through other means than school devices.On the other hand,some question the relevance of blocking access to a digital tool whose use is likely togrow in the professional world in the coming years.Amelie Cordier,a lecturer in artificial intelligence at Lyon University,notes that students haven’t waited for ChatGPT to try to escape the chore of homework—whether by photocopying the library encyclopedia,copy-pasting content from Wikipedia or enlisting their parents’help.“What is ultimately very important in the learning process is not so much the subject on which you learn,it’s the methodology that you learn to develop around that subject,”Cordier said.24.Why does the author raise a question in paragraph1?A.To arouse the readers’interest.B.To show the popularity of ChatGPT.C.To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.D.To reveal the negative effects of artificial intelligence.25.What does paragraph2mainly tell us about ChatGPT?A.Its language model.B.Its working theory.C.Its design inspiration.D.Its development process.26.Which of the following is probably the reason for the experts’question?A.Students can always employ AI tools in other ways.B.Teachers and researchers are impressed by ChatGPT.C.The bans have been announced only in the US and France.D.AI tools have already been widely applied in professional fields.27.What plays a critical role in learning according to Cordier?A.Parents’help.B.The system of methods.C.The library encyclopedia.D.The content from Wikipedia.COne school night this month I quietly approached Alexander,my15-year-old son,and patted him on the cheek in a manner I hoped would seem casual.Alex knew better,sensing by my touch,which remained just a moment too long,that I was sneaking(偷偷地做)a touch of the beard that had begun to grow near his ears.Suddenly he went stormily to his computer screen.That,and an angry look of his eyes,told me more forcefully than words:Mom,you are seen through!I realized I committed a silly behavior:not showing respect for my teenager’s personal space.“The average teenager has strong feelings about his privacy,”said two young women experts.Ms.Frankel and Ms.Fox,both17,are the authors of Breaking the Code,a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents.It is being promoted by its publisher as the first self-help guide by teenagers for their parents,a kind of Kids Are From Mars,Parents Are From Venus that de-mystifies the language and actions of teenagers.Personally,I welcomed insights teenagers from any qualified experts,and that included the authors.The most common missteps in interacting with teenagers,they instructed me,result from the conflict between parents maintaining their right to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers striving to guard their privacy.When a child is younger, they write,every decision centers around the parents.But now,as Ms.Fox told me,“often your teenager is in this circle that doesn’t include you.”Ms.Fox and Ms.Frankel acknowledge that teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents’remarks as negative or authoritative and respond with aggressiveness that masks their defenselessness.“What we want above all is your approval,”they write.“Don’t forget,no matter how much we act as if we don’t care what you say,we believe the things you say about us.”28.In the second paragraph,Kids Are From Mars,Parents Are From Venus is mentioned because______.A.it disapproves of opinions in Breaking the CodeB.it shares the same theme with Breaking the CodeC.it employs the same language style as Breaking the CodeD.it ranks right after Breaking the Code among self-help guides29.With their book,Ms.Frankel and Ms.Fox______.A.declare teenagers’rightsB.remind parents of teenagers’misstepsC.help parents know teenagers betterD.arouse much disagreement from the public30.What often leads to conflicts between parents and teenagers based on the passage?A.Teenagers’defense of their privacy.B.Parents’striving to instruct teenagers.C.Teenagers’refusal to follow experts’advice.D.Parents’dislike in teenagers’attitudes to life.31.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.Teenagers always rush to judgement on others.B.Parents often seek to create an authoritative image.C.Parents’opinions about teenagers matter much to them.D.Teenagers feature good comprehension and defenselessness.DIt’s2076and the skies are looking decidedly milky.On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms,a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines(涡轮).They take in CO2out of the atmosphere.Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest.Trees are grown,harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2escape to the atmosphere.Instead,emissions are captured and driven underground.Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2and reduce ocean acidification.All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions.But they are not entirely up to the task and,anyway,we are still releasing greenhouse gases.“I think it’s very likely that in60years we’ll be using both technologies,”says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton,UK.He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering:absorbing CO2out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space.There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly.Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly—a big if—some sections pose an intractable problem.We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture,which accounts for a quarter of global emissions.Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers.While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels,there would be regional differences.Northern Europe,Canada,Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were,and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler.Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier.Models suggest a sunshade would correct this,but,again,not in a uniform way.Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments.He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs.Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature,for tourism or agriculture.But nations whose coral reefs(珊瑚礁)draw in visitors will probably want more CO2absorbing technologies.In spite of all these concerns,most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now.There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind,but we can always anticipate something.25.What is described in the first paragraph?A.Future scenery and farming methods.B.The development of transport technology.C.The serious pollution problem in the very near future.D.Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.26.The word“intractable”in paragraph4most probably means“______”.A.solvableB.untypicalC.trickyD.existing27.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A.climate talks haven’t achieved the expected resultsB.industrial emissions will decrease greatly in60yearsC.technologies to reduce CO2emission aren’t used properly for nowD.sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2emissions28.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Effective CO2absorbing technologies have come into wide use.B.With greenhouse gas reduced,global warming can be addressed.C.Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain.D.Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)The Adoption OptionAdopting a pet is rapidly becoming the preferred option for many people who want to add an animal companion. ____36____An affordable choice.It’s true that many people are happy to part with thousands of dollars for purebred and“designer”crossbred dogs and cats,but rescue pets have a lot going for them and can be more affordable to purchase.Homeless animals can make wonderful pets.People often assume that dogs and cats end up in shelters because they’re unwanted or badly behaved.There are many reasons owners may need to rehome their pet—divorce,lack of suitable accommodation,or the time and money needed to care for a dog.____37____Adult animals have benefits.Generally,if you decide to buy a pet from breeders,only very young animals are available.____38____And there are many benefits from adopting a more mature dog or cat.They will already be desexed, microchipped and vaccinated,so you will have fewer start-up costs.Most importantly what you see is what you get-a young animal’s behavior may still be developing,whereas an older animal’s personality and behavior should be evident,so no surprises.____39____You should only adopt a dog or cat from a reputable shelter or rescue group.A behavioral trainer will assess the temperament(脾气)of every dog and cat before they’re put up for adoption.The staff should ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle so they can advise which dogs and cats will best suit your family.Ongoing behavior and training advice should be available,and you should be able to return the pet if things don’t work out.To keep in mind.____40____For example,you need to think carefully about how you will care for it—there’s a lot of responsibility associated with managing rescue animals appropriately.The costs,the necessary space and the age of people in your home are also important factors you should consider.A.Choose an appropriate animal from a reliable source.B.But shelters have a wide range of pets for you to choose from.C.Thus,some dogs and cats become lost,are not identified and are never claimed.D.Similar to many things,the price of owning a pet has been increasing.E.There are lots of online searches for possible pet adopters to choose an ideal pet.F.It’s important for you to only select a pet that will suit your lifestyle.G.You should take into account the amount of exercise your pet will need.第三部分语言运用第一节完形填空Traveling with a toddler(幼儿)can

In a notice．BThe word "invent" comes from a Latin word which means "to find．" Garrett Morgan，an African-American， was one such inventor． His first job was repairing machines in a factory． By accident， he had invented the hair straightener． He sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor．Every day，Garrett Morgan watched traffic become more dangerous．Cars，bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street．Police officers made simple "stop / go" signals at busy crossroads，but cars，bicycles and walkers still rushed into the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other． One day he saw atraffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads． he realized ，the problem with the traffic light， was its poor design： the traffic signal lacked a transition（过渡）between "stop" and "go．"Morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a "caution （警告）" light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely． His traffic light stood on a T-shaped pole （杆）with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions， allowing walkers to cross safely． After walkers crossed， traffic could only go in one direction．Soon， cities everywhere wanted his traffic light．In 1923，a popular electric company paid Morgan ＄40，000 to make and sell his invention． Traffic lights today work in the same basic way．The traffic light is Morgan's most famous invention． In 1963， the United States government gave Garrett Morgan an award for his life-saving idea．5.What can we learn about Garrett Morgan from Paragraph 1？ ______A. He worked in a factory all his life．B. He led a hard life in his early years．C. He made money from hair straighteners．D. He dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child．6.What made Morgan invent the traffic light？ ______A. A traffic accident．B. A car driver's advice．C. Worry about his safety．D. Hard work of police officers．7.According to the text， Garrett Morgan's traffic light ______ ．A. made cars move more slowlyB. needed no help from police officersC. was special because it had a "caution" lightD. was very different from the ones we use todayCLiving on mountainous La Gomera， one of Spain's Canary Islands off West Africa，Juan Cabello takes pride in not using a mobile phone or the Internet to communicate．Like his father and grandfather，he uses Silbo Gomero，a language that is whistled （吹口哨），not spoken，and that can be heard more than two miles away．"I use it for everything：to talk to my wife，to tell my kids something，to find a friend if we get lost in a crowd，"Cabello says．"I also make a living from Silbo，performing daily exhibitions at a restaurant．"People throughout La Gomera are known to have used Silbo in the past as a way of communicating over long distances． A strong whistle saved farmers from walking over the hills to give messages or news to neighbors．Then came the phone．Nowadays，it's hard to know how many people still use Silbo．In 1999，it was introduced as a compulsory subject （必修学科） in La Gomera's primary schools， in an effort to prevent the language from going silent． Now 3，000 students are studying it， but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling language．"Silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage （遗产） we have，" saidMoises Plasencia， the director of the Canary Islands' government's historical heritage department．In fact， little is known about Silbo's origins． Silbo-like whistling has been found in parts of Greece， Turkey， China and Mexico， but none is as developed as Silbo Gomero． One study is looking for signs of Silbo in Venezuela， Cuba and Texas， all places to which Gomerans have gone in the past during hard economic times．"Silbo has many historical and linguistic （语言学上的） values，" Plasencia said． And，as Cabello explains， "It's good for just about anything except for romance： everyone on the island would hear what you're saying!"8.Juan Cabello uses Silbo Gomero ______ ．A. in his daily lifeB. to learn computersC. just to make a livingD. only when eating at restaurants9.What can we learn about Silbo Gomero？ ______A. It first started in Greece．B. It is in danger of dying out．C. It is helpful in keeping secrets．D. It is the oldest way of communicating．10.Plasencia thinks it's very important to ______ ．A. know the origins of Silbo GomeroB. find the values of Silbo GomeroC. have more cultural heritagesD. protect Silbo Gomero11.What is mainly described in the text？ ______A. A school's subject．B. A famous performer．C. An unusual language．D. A mountainous island．DThe Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago． The only reason Internet sales are not taxed （征税） is because we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was created． Internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same product except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed．When buying online， people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store． To fix this， customers are going into the store to see the product． Then if they like the product， they buy it online to save money on the sales tax． This is a form of tax evasion （逃税） if you ask me!Everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online as well． Also， the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the government to fund （为……拨款） certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds． This could go toward the country's schools or other things necessary for society to function well． These funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession （经济衰退） that the country is in at this point． Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the qualityof life for all who live in that country．In conclusion， there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing Internet sales． I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online， but the funds stay within my society and help my country． The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end， the funds will help me and others in our country．12.The text mainly discusses ______ ．A. whether it is a good way to buy things onlineB. why Internet sales are not taxedC. why people love to buy things onlineD. whether Internet sales should be taxed13.Internet sales are not taxed because ______ ．A. people don't know how to tax themB. many people are against taxing themC. selling online was unexpectedD. they are different from store sales14.What can we learn from Paragraph 2？ ______A.

Built．考查分词做定语用法．本句中动词build与主句主语之间构成被动关系，所以运用过去分词作状语．句意，虽然被建在一个小镇上，这个宾馆吸引了很多游客．2． will be．考查时态．本句的时间状语是In two weeks' time ，该时间状语常常和将来时连用，句意，两周以后，他的冰屋将会成为一池水，3． replacing．考查动名词用法．动词短语look forward to doing sth，表示：期盼做某事，其中的to是介词，后面要接名词或动名间，所以本句中运用 replacing做宾语4． so．考查固定句式．句式so …that…表示：如此以至于．s0的后面要接形容词或副词．句意，他的第一个冰屋如此胜利以至于他设计了现在这一个．5． which．考查非限制性定语从句．本题定语从句的先行词是the present one，所以用关系代词
