The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us get used to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of suffering is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in standing pain is our att itude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the nature of life.11. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to _______.A. stay relaxedB. avoid painC. stand sufferingD. feel pain12.

She was to have a job Array interview, and she wanted to look good. She decidedto get some new clothes. The store owner, PallasHansen, helped Maria find a suit. But when she leftthe store, she didn’t pay for the suit!How could Tina do this? She was in a specialstore called Career Closet (职业壁橱) in San Jose,California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiedestarted this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don’t find jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children. They can’t buy clothes for themselves.Pallas and Charlotte started the store after they heard about a store like this in Chicago. V olunteers work in the store. Working women gave away most of the clothes to the store. This makes it possible for the customers at Career Closet to get clothes for free.Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store. They also get confidence. Maria is 36 years old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Maria needed a job to support her seven children.

2016年高中英语学业水平考试练习题（一）（本试卷分为第I卷和第II卷，考试时间90分钟，满分100分）第I卷（选择题满分60分）第一部分: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ATake a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious that we really don’t know why they start and why they stop.Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.An American man named Jack O’Leary claimed (声称) to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude（圣徒犹大）, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccups stopped at once.It took a British engineer eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a ‘secret’ mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.1. If something is mysterious, it is ____.A. hard to stopB. easy to hurtC. hard to understandD. easy to take care of2. Which cure is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. A good scare.B. A special tool.C. A teaspoon of sugar.D. A glass of water with a knife in it.3. How many times did Jack O’Leary claim to have hiccupped over a period of eight years?A. 8.B. 160.C. 60，000.D. 160，000，000.4. The British engineer’s hiccups were cured by ____.A. taking a spoonful of saltB. taking a deep breathC. drinking a secret mixtureD. drinking some water for 15 seconds5. The passage is mainly about ____.A. a British engineer’s hiccupsB. what makes hiccups happenC. Jack O’Leary’s hiccupsD. different ways to stop hiccupBStreet MarketsAround the WorldNowadays, you can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional – at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them…Every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to Camden Market in an attractive area in the northof the city –it’s the place to go for street fashion, jewellery, CDsand tapes … but many people just go for the lively atmosphere!There are many ‘floating markets’ in Asia;perhaps the most famous is in Thailand, at aplace called Damnoen Saduak, 100km from thecapital city, Bangkok. From six in the morningto midday, every day, people sell fresh tropical（热带的）fruit and vegetables from theirboats.Many Belgians say that the Grand Place – in the centre of the capital city, Brussels, is the most beautiful square in the world. Itis the home of a colourful flower market – open every day exceptMonday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there’s a wonderfulbird market!One of the world’s most unusual markets is in Mexico City–at the Sonora Market. As well as toys and birds, you can buyherbs（草药）and natural medicines which (they say) can helpwith anything – from problems at work to problems with yourmarriage! It’s open every day from early in the morning till lateat night.6. Where is Camden Market?A. In London.B. In Bangkok.C. In Brussels.D. In Mexico City.7. When can you shop at Damnoen Saduak?A. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on weekends.B. From early morning till late night.C. From six in the morning to midday.D. On Monday evening.8. What can you buy at the Sonora Market?A. Jewellery.B.

The passage is likely to appear in _______.A. a maths textbookB. a tourist magazineC. an official reportD. an art show reviewCIn different countries around the world, people become ‘adults’ at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as getting a part-time job, voting（投票）, getting married, or getting a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that go along with these rights.In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to rely on their parents for money all the time. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s license; in England, it is seventeen.There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax（税）. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules such as paying for insurance to drive.V oting is another right that means becoming adults for many young people. In the United States, Canada, and the U.K., young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.A group of teenagers in Alberta, Canada, want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think that people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get a part-time job, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections（选举）.11. What rights can young people get when they become ‘adults’?①a part-time job ②the right to vote ③income tax ④a license to driveA.②③④B.①②③C. ①③④D. ①②④12. If you want to get a driver’s license, you must reach seventeen in _________.A. North AmericaB. CanadaC. EnglandD. China13. When you get a part-time job, you must accept the responsibility _________.A. to pay income taxB. to get marriedC. to pay for insurance to driveD. to vote wisely14.

When young people should have children.B. When young people have certain adult rights.C. When young people have to work to earn money.D. How old young people must be in order to vote.DIs animal testing necessary? Can animals really show ushow a human would respond to certain drugs? Are there betterways to make safe products for human use?Around the world, animals are used to test products fromshampoo（洗发液）to new cancer drugs. Almost everymedical treatment you use has been tested on animals.Animals were even used to develop anesthetic – a drug thatputs you to sleep during an operation so that you won’t feelany pain. Let’s look at some of the arguments for and against animal testing.Is animal testing right?YES·Human life has greater value than animal life.·Millions of animals are killed for food every year – if anything, medical research is a more worthy death.·Few animals feel any pain as they are killed before they have the chance to suffer.NO·Animals have as much right to life as human beings.·Deaths through research are unnecessary and are no different from murder.·When locked up in cages, animals suffer from great pressure and worry.

ASteve was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew but whos e face he didn’t—the girlwith a rose. She was his pen pal (笔友). She had helped him a lot both in study and life.

He was 18 years old and could die anytime. He stayed in his house and never went outside. He was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked for his mother’s permission, who was his only lifelong friend.He walked down his block and saw a CD store. He stopped and looked through the front door. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and knew it was love at first sight(看见). He opened the door and walked closer and closer to the desk where she sat.She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?” She smiled. He thought it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen before.

The best title for the passage can be ______.A. Say “I Love You”B. Love from a MotherC. A Beautiful Girl Selling CDSD. A CD StoreCFOR us humans, one of the greatest experiences is to taste all kinds of delicious food. But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. That’s because penguins can’t actually taste th e delicious flavors (味道) of their favorite food—fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组) of five species of penguins. They found that not one can taste umami (鲜味), the flavor of meat or fish, the BBC reported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour (酸), salty bitter (苦) and umami. But according to genetic（遗传的）data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists don’t have a good explanation for them. But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesn’t work in cold temperatures. “It’s about zero degrees whenthey eat cold fish,” Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional（功能的）gene, it might not work when they needed it.Plus, penguins’ tongues are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food, penguins’tongues are extremely spiky (钉子似的). This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that some types of penguins don’t even have taste buds. , But penguins seem to be managing just fine.“Their behavior of swallowing food whole and their tongue structure and function suggest that penguins need no taste perception（知觉）,” said Zhang.11.The study finds that __________.A. different penguins have their own favorite fishB. penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC. penguins can’t taste the flavor of fishD. penguins don’t have any of the five basic tastes12. Penguins can only taste __________.A. salty and sourB. sour and sweetC. sweet and saltyD. bitter and umami13. From Paragraph 5, we learn that __________.A. penguins’ umami genes work well in cold temperaturesB. penguins only eat cold fishC. temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsD. the umami genes in penguins would work when needed14. Paragraph 6 tells us that __________.A. a lack of taste is good for penguinsB. pen guins’ tongues are very spikyC. penguins prefer to eat slippery fishD. there are no taste buds on penguins’ tongues15. All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT__________ .A. they always swallow food wholeB. their tongue structure is specialC. their tongue function is differentD. they live in cold temperaturesDMy parents give me an allowance every week. An allowance is the money I earn when I do chores or jobs around the house. There are a lot of things I want to buy with my allowance, but I have to earn it first! There are many ways to earn money. I do chores, make my bed and empty the dishwasher. I also help my parents whenever they ask.My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance, but they say I shouldn’t us e it up at once. That’s why they taught me about budgets (预算). A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future. My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance. I can spend it, save it, or give it away. I want to do all thr ee, so my mom and I make three jars. One is a “spend” jar, one is a “save” jar, and one is a “give” jar.Spend JarThe spend jar is my favorite! I put most of my allowance here. At the end of the month, I count up all my spending money. I use it to buy things and do fun things with my friends.Save JarSometimes, there are things I want, but I don’t have enough money. That’s what the save jar is for. I put some of my allowance in it. It builds up more and more each week. After a while, I have enough money to buy what I want.Give JarThe last jar is very special. It’s the give jar. I donate (捐赠) the money to a charity (慈善) or another good cause. My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place.I like putting my allowa nce into my three jars. It’s fun to see it build up over time! Do you earn an allowance?16. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “allowance” is______ .A. 允许B. 零用钱C. 承诺D.费用17. There are ______ jars for the writer’s money.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four18. For budgets, the writer’s parents DIDN’T want him to _______.A. spend all the money in a short timeB. build up too much moneyC. save the money for things in the futureD. choose how to spend the money19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer’s parents have a large amount of money.B. The writer asks his mother to make the three jars.C. The writer donates money in the “spend” jar to a charity.D. There are many ways to get the allowance for the writer.20.

The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us get used to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of suffering is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in standing pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle thepain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the nature of life.11.

She was to have a job interview, and she wanted to lookgood. She decided to get some new clothes. The store owner, Pallas Hansen,helped Maria find a suit. But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!How could Tina do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet(职业壁橱) in San Jose, California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiedestarted this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don’tfind jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money t o buy food and clothes for their children.

They also get confidence. Maria is 36 years old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Maria needed a job to support her seven children.
