When squeezing (挤过去) past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany , people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.People thank each other everywhere in England , all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and shop assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany , it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.16.What is the author’s attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is unnecessary.B. He thinks little of it.C. He appreciates it very much.D. He thinks it goes too far.17.What can be inferred from the passage?A. German men never treat a woman to dinner.B. The author thinks it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.C. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.18.We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men .A. like to fight with each otherB. treat women in a polite wayC. are as generous as English menD. are unwilling to spend money for women19.The author develops the text through the method of .A. making comparisonsB. telling storiesC. giving reasonsD. giving examplesBNeed a room close to the US embassy for a week in early FebruaryI need a room close to the US embassy for a week in early February.

Mr. Wang, renting his house to the third advertiser.B. Mr. Yang, renting his apartment to the first advertiser.C. Mrs. Sun, renting her house to the fourth advertiser.D. Mrs. Liu, renting her apartment to the second advertiser.CSpeed up or slow down? That was the question Wang Xueliang thought about as he approached the traffic lights. The 45-year-old driver hesitated for a few seconds before stepping on the brakes and stopping his car at a crossing on Beijing 's Chang'an Avenue , even though the traffic light was still green. The light turned yellow a second later. For many drivers, passing through traffic crossings has bee a guessing game since New Year's Day.From Jan 1, new traffic laws mean all drivers in China that run a yellow light will have six points deducted (扣除) from the 12 given to their license. Drivers who run yellow lights will receive the same six-point punishment as those who run red lights. Those who forfeit 12 pointsover a calendar year will have to attend training courses and take exams organized by the local traffic management bureau. The rule was named " China 's harshest traffic rule" by many online observers. The new rule also gives strict punishments for speeding, covering up the license plate, making phone calls while driving, and drunken driving. The punishment for covering up a license plate is 12 points."On the day the new rules came into force, drivers followed the rules and monly seen violations, such as ignoring traffic lights , were seen less frequently," according to a report by Xinhua News Agency. The report said the number of accidents decreased sharply on Tuesday in five major cities — Beijing , Tianjin , Nanjing , Hangzhou and Jinan — from the previous day. Moreover, no severe accidents were reported.Although the ministry said on Wednesday that some major cities reported a sharp decrease in urban traffic violations, the new law remains controversial ( 引起争议的)because drivers find it difficult to predict yellow lights and stop their cars in good time.24.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. Drivers find it hard to decide whether to speed up or slow down while driving.B. Drivers find it hard to predict when the light turns yellow.C. Drivers should stop their cars before the light turns red.D. Drivers should make a guess about the light when passing through a crossing.25.The underlined word “forfeit” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A. increaseB. declineC. loseD. multiply26.The following statements are false EXCEPT ．A. You will be given a warning if you run yellow lights.B. You will lose six points if you cover up the license plate.C. A driver making phone calls while driving will have to attend training courses.D. Since the new rules were carried out, the number of accidents has greatly decreased.27.What do you think will be talked about after the last paragraph?A. The effects of the new traffic rules.B. Different people’s opinions of the new traffic rules.C. The benefits of the new traffic rules. .D. The disadvantages of the new traffic rules.DChina ’s LiNa returns while playing against Bojana Jovanonski of Serbia in the Shenzhen Gemdale Open quarterfinals (Jan.3rd, 2013) on Thursday in Shenzhen , Guangdong province. Li won 6-3, 6-3 to reach the semis, where she will face patriot Peng Shuai.The life of a professional tennis player is tough because you never seem completely free to do whatever you like - even in the off-season. Chinese star Li Na has been active on the professional stage since 1999 and understands the yearly grind and how important it is to stay stable; even during the toughest of times."When you are competing at a certain level, people pay equal attention to your off-court life as much as your game," Li said during the Shenzhen Gemdale Open on Wednesday. "That means whatever you do can sometimes affect others, especially the juniors. They will get the wrong message if you relax too much. So I know that is something I can't do - even on holidays.I like to put strict demands on myself to let the youngsters know what happens off the court is just as important if you want to be good as a professional."Alcohol is the first item Li names on her "can't do" list. Li used to celebrate big wins by sharing a few drinks with friends but she has left that habit behind now. "I definitely stay away from wine now because I have to do everything to help benefit my profession during the51-week season." Her healthy habits have paid off as Li's body remains in prime condition despite her age. The 30-year-old has been injury free since having surgery on her right knee in 2009 and regularly heads off to Germany in the off-season for specialized fitness training."I am lucky that injuries haven't bothered me in recent years. That's because I learnt how to treat my body well, with the help of my team. So, it treats me well in return."28.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Professional tennis players never seem completely free to do whatever theylike except in the off-season.B. Professional tennis players are forbidden to drink.C. Li played two rounds in the Shenzhen Glendale Open quarterfinals.D. Li’s body is in poor condition because of her age.29.How old was Li when she started to be active on the professional stage?A. 14B. 16 C . 27C. 3030.What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to ?A. Li’s teamB. Li’s bodyC. Li’s effortsD. Li’s injury31.What is included in Li’s “can’t do ” list?A. To set an example to teenagersB. To get rid of drinking wine.C. To treat her body kindly.D. To relax too muchEUp to 90％of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the “extraordinary rise’’ in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light．According to Professor Ian Morgan, who led this study and is from the Australian National University . 20-30％was once the average among people in South East Asia as well．“What we’ve done is write a review of all the evidence which suggests that something extraordinary has happened in east Asia in the last two generations，”he told BBC News．Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred（使模糊不清）beyond 2m ．It is often caused by an elongation（伸长）of the eyeball that happens when people are young．According to the research，the problem is being caused by a combination of factors——a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light．Professor Morgan argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework．This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight acts as a counterbalance（抗衡)and helps maintain healthy eyes．Cultural factors also seem to play a part．Across many parts of South East Asia，children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan ，they are missing out on prime light to prevent short-sightedness．“ Children suffer from a double whammy（致命的打击）in South East Asia，”says Professor Morgan. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a child’s day，the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is limited．”A big concern is the numbers of students sufferingfrom“high”short-sightedness．According to Professor Morgan，this affects between 1 0％and 20％of students in Asian cities．It can lead to vision loss，visual impairment and even blindness．“These people are at considerable risk---sometimes people are not told about it and are justgiven more powerful glasses---they need to be warned about the risk and given someself-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist（眼科医生）and get some help．” For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. It was believed that people from China，Japan，South Korea and other countries were particularly likely to develop short-sightedness．But this study strongly suggests an alternative view．32.From the text, we can know that .A. this study suggests that gene(基因)is closely linked with short-sightedness.B. short-sightedness can lead to blindness.C. those who suffer from “high” short-sightedness can recover their eyesight if they aregiven more powerful glasses.D. China has the largest number of short-sighted people in the world.33.What is implied in the text?A. Pro. Morgan approves of what most short-sighted people do with theirshort-sightedness.B. If you are short-sighted, you can’t see things clearly beyond 2m .C. According to Professor Morgan, staying in the sunshine instead of taking a lunchtimenap is good for preventing short-sightednessD. The reasons for Asian children’s short-sightedness are mitment to education and lackof outdoor light.34.What’s the author’s attitude towards the study result?A. ObjectiveB. SubjectiveC. NegativeD. Positive35.What would be the best title for the text?A. The research result of Asian children’s short-sightedness.B. The phenomenon of Asian children’s short-sightedness.C. The reasons for Asian children’s short-sightedness.D. The ways to get rid of short-sightedness.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Bad teeth can be painful -- and worse. They can even be (36) .

2020-2021学年合肥市第一中学高三英语期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALocated besideLake Geneva, the Olympic Museum houses more than 10,000 artificial objects and hours of interactive contents highlighting some of the best moments during the Olympics. Here are some of the museum’s most moving moments.The Olympic ParkThe journey through the Olympic Museum begins in the Olympic Park, an 8,000-square-meter outdoor area in front of the museum overlooking Lake Geneva and theAlps. The park contains artwork and sculptures that show respect to the world of sport.The first Olympic SymbolThe “Olympic Rings” flag was designed by Coubertin in 1913. The rings represent the five continents that participate in the Olympics: Africa, Asia,America,AustraliaandEurope. The six color1 s include at least one color1 that is represented on the flag of every country.The StadiumsThe stadiums that host the Olympic Games are as much of a celebration of design as the games are a celebration of sportsmanship. Guests can explore plans and models of Olympic stadiums’ past and present, including one of the games’ most attractive stadiums, the Bird’s Nest from Beijing 2008 Olympics.The Olympic MedalsHave you ever wondered what an Olympic medal looks like? The Olympic Museum has a room that houses every bronze, silver, and gold medal from every Olympic Games dating back to the first modern Olympics of 1896. Each medal design is a unique representation of the year and location in which the games were held.1.Which moment do you see first when exploring the Olympic Museum?A.The Olympic Park.B.The first Olympic Symbol.C.The Stadiums.D.The Olympic Medals.2.What can you do in the section of The Stadiums?A.Celebrate the glory of a sportsman.B.Meet the designers of the stadiums.C.Explore the future stadiums.D.Enjoy the model of the Bird’s Nest.3.In which column of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment.B.Science.C.Travel.D.Business.BThe world's largest iceberg is floating toward South Georgia in the southernAtlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins and seals. If the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.The huge iceberg is named A68a. It broke away fromAntarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017. Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer per hour and is on a path to hitSouth Georgiain around 30 days.This is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. The distance that parents have to travel to find food is crucial. That means they have to go a lot further or go around the iceberg to find sources of food.Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts, it would also release large amounts of fresh water into the ocean. This could affect krill（磷虾）populations that are a major source of food for the island's wildlife. The iceberg could remain for up to 10 years and change the area's whole ecosystem. These are globally significant populations of these species. If these species fail in this particular area, then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically.Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, "The breaking off of icebergs fromAntarcticais a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. What we're seeing with models and some observations now is that this is happening at an increasing rate. And so, this might become more of a usual thing in the future."4. Why are the scientists worried about the coming iceberg crash?A. It will bring extremely cold weather.B. It will destroy the feeding areas of the animals.C. It will put wildlife on the island at risk of starving.D. It will prevent animals from moving to other places.5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The characteristic of the iceberg.B. The importance of the iceberg.C. The traveling speed of the iceberg.D. The forming process of the iceberg.6. What damage can an iceberg crash bring according to paragraph 4?A. Using up much fresh water.B. Polluting the surrounding farms.C. Changing the world's ecosystem.D. Affecting the number of certain species.7. How does Tarling think of the breaking off of icebergs fromAntarctica?A. It may slow down in the near future.B. It may become common in the future.C. It has a great influence on the climate.D. It helps scientists conduct a sea study.CIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.8. If you get lost in the forest, you should _________.A. try to find your friends in no timeB. stay in one place and give signalsC. walk around the forestD. shout as loudly as possible9. Which signal is a call for help?A. Crying twice.B. Shouting here and there.C. Whistling everywhere in the forest.D. Shouting or whistling three times together.10. When you hear two shouts or two whistles, you know that _________.A. someone needs your helpB. something terrible will happenC. people will come to help youD. someone is afraid of an animal11. What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?A. Use branches to make a bed.B. Drop branches to look for water.C. Pick off branches to build another house.D. Leave branches to help you find your way back.D“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.12. Why does the author mention an old saying in the first paragraph?A. To arise reader’s awareness of upcycling.B. To stress the importance of upcycling.C. To lead in the topic of upcycling.D. To show the idea of upcycling.13. Which one below belongs to upcycling?A. An old ladder is transformed into a bookshelf.B. Old tin cans are transported to landfill.C. A broken wooden door is chopped up.D. Old cloth is made into a paper bed.14. What is the difference between recycling and upcycling?A. Upcycling is much more creative.B. Recycling is much easier to achieve.C. Recycling is much more cost-saving.D. Upcycling is much more energy-efficient.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Upcycling is popular at present.B. Upcycling is replacing recycling.C. Upcycling is worth recommending.D. Upcycling is a tradition in daily life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年安徽省合肥一中、六中、八中联考高一（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AUnsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth ♦ Mystery 1：Where did all the water come from？Water covers 70 percent of Earth's surface and earns it the nickname "the blue planet".But where did it come from？The most popular scientific theory states that theH2O came from several violent asteroids （小行星）filled with ice.Another suggests that the wateractually has been around since Earth's formation.However it happened,though,it'scertainly worked out well for Earth's life forms.♦ Mystery 2：What about all the oxygen？Another thing is the planet's oxygen.Tiny creatures released oxygen as a wasteproduct,filling the atmosphere with it.After that,the level of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago.Since then,it's remained at about the breathable level we experience today.But what caused it to be suddenly steady？♦ Mystery 3：What caused the Cambrian （寒武纪）Explosion？The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago.Before then life had consisted mostly of bacteria.But at the beginning of the Cambrian period,complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before.Suddenly,life forms had brains,eyes,and bones.Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.♦ Mystery 4：Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes？We still haven't been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes.We can certainly try,but our current technology cannot predict them exactly.We know thatearthquakes start when rocks crack underground and send earthquake waves toward the surface,but we haven't figured out why that happens,or how to predict it.1.What was created later by creatures on Earth？______A. Oxygen.B. Water.C. Bacteria.D. Ice.2.Which of the following is true according to the text？______A. Earth is called the blue star because of water coverage.B. The level of oxygen has been steady all the time.C. Complex creatures had rapid development in the Cambrian period.D. We know nothing about predicting earthquakes.3.What do we know about Mystery 4？______A. It is the oldest mystery of the four.B. It will be solved in the near future.C. It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.D. It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.BRain beats against the window,matching my mood.I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true.Throughout the day,rumors warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off.I was the newest one in the training department.My boss appeared. "You probably know were cutting back on staff," he said."Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs,showing them how to act in an interview,for example. " "Fine," I answeredunwillingly,not knowing what else to say.I decided to go home early that day.In the hall,I met the lady who brought us cookies everyFriday.She was a little woman with gray hair.Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart（小车）loaded with cleaning supplies.At least she had a job！At the final meeting,laid off workers formed a line at the door.A colleague whispered,"I can't believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off.We'll miss her as much as we'll miss her cookies. " When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for herI decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about theunselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.A few days later,my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I received a letter,which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice.An editor of a localmagazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you are looking forwork……"4.How did the author feel on that rainy day？______A. Nervous.B. Excited.C. Angry.D. Proud.5.What was the author asked to do？______A. Take care of patients.B. Leave earlier that day.C. Resign from the hospital.D. Help the laid-off workers.6.How did the author help the Cookie Lady？______A. He offered her a high-paid job.B. He gave her advice on job hunting.C. He made her story known to others.D. He taught her how to pass an interview.7.What does the story tell us？______A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Good deeds have their rewards.C. Little people can make a big difference.D. Love brings more joy.CListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home,and you can probably work out who is walking about.The features most commonly used to identify people are faces,voices and fingerprints.But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people's gaits（步态），and are now quite good at it.But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky.Cameras are often visible,are difficult to set up,require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people.A team led by Dr.Ozanyan andDr.Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gaits.Their answer：pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new.They have been part of security systems.But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied indifferent places as someone walks across it.These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker.The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns,and it seemed to work.In a study in 2018，they tested the system on a database offootsteps of 127 people.They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere0.7%.And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with,the system candetermine someone's sex and,with reasonable accuracy,a subject's age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in healthcare,particularly for the elderly.A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person's own residence could monitor changes in an individual's gait that indicates certainillnesses.That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace,monitoring access to restricted areas,such as parts of military bases,server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats,though,would be inpublic places,such as airports.8.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？______A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.9.According to Paragraph 3，the mat is used to ______ .A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure10.The gait-recognition system might be applied to ______ .A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers11.What's the best title of the passage？______A. Listen to Your FootstepsB. Applaud Pattern RecognitionC. Love the Way You WalkD. Better the Mats You Step onDDo you take a fancy to Olaf,the snowman in the movie Frozen？You'll find an ancestor of Olaf when looking into many of history's cultural symbols.It appeared on some of the first postcards,starred in some of the earliest silent movies,and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos,dating all the way back to the 1800s.I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.For example,snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages,built with great skill and thought.At a time of limited means of expression,snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists,including a19-year-old Michelangelo,who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence,Italy,to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen-an impressive scene that told stories on every street comer.Some were political in nature,criticizing the church and government.Some were a reflection of people's imagination.For the people of Brussels,this was a defining moment of artistic freedom,at least until spring arrived,by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed,don't worry：I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich,Switzerland,celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April,the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung sixtimes,representing the passing of winter,the pile is lit.When the snowman explodes,winter is considered officially over～the quicker it is burnt down,the longer summer is said to be.12.According to the passage,why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？______A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.13."The heyday of the snowman" （Paragraph 4）probably means the time when ______ .A. snowmen were made mainly by artistsB. snowmen enjoyed great popularityC. snowmen were politically criticizedD. snowmen caused damaging floods14.In Zurich,the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes ______ .A. the start of the paradeB. the coming of a longer summerC. the passing of the winterD. the success of tradesmen15.What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？______A. They were appreciated in history.B. They have lost their value.C. They were related to movies.D. They vary in shape and size.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）There are numerous benefits of reading good books.

Unsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth
♦ Mystery 1: Where did all the water come from?
C．from the hospital.D．Help the laid-off workers.
6．How did the author help the Cookie Lady?
A．He offered her a high-paid job.B．He gave her advice on job hunting.
D．It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.
Rain beats against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know were cutting back on staff, ”he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example. ” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
Water covers 70 percent of Earth’s surface and earns it the nickname “the blue planet”. But where did it come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2O came from several violent asteroids (小行星) filled with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since Earth’s formation. However it happened, though, it’s certainly worked out well for Earth’s life forms.
Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people’s gaits(步态), and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gaits. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.
♦ Mystery 2: What about all the oxygen?
Another thing is the planet’s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it’s remained at about the breathable level we experience today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?
At the final meeting, laid off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies. ” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her
♦ Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian (寒武纪) Explosion?
The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of bacteria. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period, complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly, life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.
1．What was created later by creatures on Earth?
A．Oxygen.B．Water.C．Bacteria.D．Ice.
2．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Earth is called the blue star because of water coverage.
C．Little people can make a big difference.D．Love brings more joy
Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.
C．He made her story known to othersD．He taught her how to pass an interview
7．What does the story tell us?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeedB．Good deeds have their rewards
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart(小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job！
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you are looking for work……”
