I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I madehim comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.11.The author(作者) had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because____________ .A. the town was far away from SydneyB. she was going home for her holidaysC. she missed the only train back homeD. her work delayed her trip to Sydney12.Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A.

Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90°angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing against the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.15.What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors' strength.B. Wave levels.C. Size of sails.D. Wind directions.16.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The sail.C. The wind.D. The angle.17.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.18.Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.CThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors(年长者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?·Finding：About 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.·Step：Remove the 300 kinds of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2.How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number that doctors advise.·Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.·Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.19.What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week .C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected .D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day20.Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands _________.A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. eight times a day21.Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should stop touching our faces.B. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.C. There are less than 300 kinds of bacteria in the mouth.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.DOne day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the bestthing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.22.When he first met the author, David_________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked stubbornlyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher23.As a psychologist, the author __________.A. was uncertain about psychologyB. was ready to listen to DavidC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of solving David’s problem24.David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.A. needed to share pain with the authorB. wanted to ask the author for adviceC. liked the children’s drawing in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game25.What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.26.What made David change?A. His teacher’s help.B. His exchange of letters with the author.C. The author’s friendship.D. The author’s silent communication with him.EHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey havea strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax(蜡), which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lighted.27.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's buried in the soil.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hidden in trees.28.What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey searcher.D. A beekeeper.29.The honey guide is special in the way ________.A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees’ nests30.What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Honey-Lover's HelperD. Beekeeping in Africa三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere.

湖北省2019-2020学年高一上学期期末联考英语试题及答案解析
An official notice on the islands' national tourism website reads "closed for maintenance (维护), open for voluntourism.”Following a successful plan this year, the country has made the decision to "close” its major tourism sights and attractions during the weekend of April 16-17, 2020. Hotels will be open, and flights will continue. That weekend, people all over the Faroe Islands will be working on environmental protection projects.
"For us, tourism is not all about numbers,” Director at Visit Faroe Islands told CNN Travel earlier this year." We welcome visitors to the islands each year, but we also have a responsibility to our community and to our beautiful environment, and our aim is to protect the islands, ensuring responsible growth." The first group of voluntourists included travelers from Mexico, Israel, Australia, China and the United States. The director said that because of the surprising popularity of the volunteering weekend in 2019, the Faroes will host the event yearly. According to the Faroes' tourism authority, visits to the country have increased by 10% over the past few years.

With time and effort he got her address．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch．During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail．A romance started．John requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared,it wouldn’t matter what she looked like．Later they agreed on their first meeting—7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York．“You’ll recognize me,” she wrote，“by the red rose I’ll be wearing my coat.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose．A girl in a green suit was coming toward him，her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers．Almost uncontrollably he came to her，and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40．The girl was walking quickly away．He did not hesitate(犹豫)，saying，“I’m John，and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?”The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about，son，” she answered，“but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner，I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!”It’s not difficult to admire Miss Maynell’s wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.11.John was attracted by Miss Hollis Maynell because ________.A. John believed her one of her old friendsB. she took good notes with a soft handwritingC. John thought her a considerate and thinking ladyD. she was beautiful with a slim figure and blue eyes12.Why did John uncontrollably go up to the young girl in the green suit?A.

The wisdom is shown in one’s action.B. Love can be met by chance if you like.C. You should never judge a book by its cover.D. A noble heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.BCould cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating citied will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned, A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.They say sea cities solve many of the problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land , more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) runninglow and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is no enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says: “We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”15.DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _______．A. on landB. in spaceC. on the seaD. in the desert16.Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?A. Providing more jobs for people.B. Making travel in space possible.C. Supplying enough water to people.D. Satisfying more people’s housing needs.17.What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?A. He doubts them.B. He is hopeful of them.C. He is uncertain about them.D. He has no idea about them.18.What is the best title for the text?A. Will there be enough water?B. Will sea cities save the world?C. Is it possible to live in the desert?D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?CLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you!”and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what theydid---facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines (台词). But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspectionby their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.19.How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in thepassage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.20.What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean?A. To face the stage.B. To face the back of the horse.C. To face one’s leader or father.D. To face something far less pleasant.21.Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?A. When we are playing basketball in the playground.B. When we are making a speech before a lot of people.C. When we are having a party at ease with our teachers.D. When we are talking with somebody in secret.22.The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means ______.A. unfriendlyB. dislikeC. unkindD. UnnecessaryDOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on earth”.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation (开发) of precious trees and plants.Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land. Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financialsupport from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled (处理) in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve (保护) the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.23.What does the author actually mean in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?A. The Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not persuasiveD. The advertisement is not impressive.24.The example of Nepal is used to suggest ______.A. its natural resources are untouchedB. its forests are exploited for farmlandC. it develops well in health and educationD. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists25.Which of the following determines the future of tourism?A. The number of tourists.B. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism.26.The author’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ______.A. optimisticB. objectiveC. doubtfulD. NegativeEPicky eaters may have good reasons for their behaviour. No matter why your child has become picky, how you handle the situation can affect his or her future. Therefore, you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all.Neophobia is common in children; it often happens at the dinner table. Some children just refuse to try new food because they don’t know what it will taste like, while others dislike new food before even smelling it. Some children take it to the extreme(极端) and will only eat a few foods that they like. Psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Capaldi says that, by the time children reach the age of two, they have formed their own eating habits that they don’t want to be disturbed by new offerings at the table.A newly published study led by Dr. Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic(遗传的) and environmental causes. The research, which followed the eating habits of 5,390 pairs of twins between the ages of 8 and 11, found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents, while 25% was due to the influence of environment.Children grow at a high speed during their first year, but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year. When children are not experiencing one of those fast growth periods, their body needs less energy; and that results in a smaller appetite(胃口). When children are not hungry, they tend to enjoy only food they like. They refuse new food and food that is not their favourite. Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind, like hamburgers or pancakes, leaving all the other foods untouched.In some cases, many real reasons why a child behaves as a picky eater exist. About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction(神经机能障碍) that influences their eating habits. These children may be easily hurt by some special smells, or their brain may not be able to process such sensory information properly.27.The underlined word “Neophobia”in Paragraph 2 probably means_________.A. the fear of something new or unknownB. the worry about the amount of new foodC. the feeling of eating at the dinner tableD. the fear of eating tasty food28.What can we learn about the study led by Dr. Cooke?A. It paid more attention to the environmental effects on children’s eating habits.B. It followed the eating habits of 5,390 children aged between 8 and 11.C. It showed that genetics greatly affect children’s eating habits.D. It suggested that parents should have good eating habits.29.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that_______.A. children’s growth speed stays the same in the first two yearsB. children develop their own diet when they grow upC. children tends to eat less when they grow upD. children’s growth has an effect on their diet30.The reason mentioned in the last paragraph has something to do with a child’s_______.A. exerciseB. senseC. habitD.

Let's cheer ourselves up．CIt was the afternoon of December 24，the day before Christmas；and as the newest doctor in our office，I had to work．The only thingt brightened my tha day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses．As I was cleaning my office，I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out，I noticed a young，tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously，she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full，I agreed．After all，it was Christmas Eve．A short time later，her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands，and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh，cry and share their child．After almost an hour，I called the prisoner back to my office．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible．At the end of the appointment，I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this，I was inspired with a wonderful idea．I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful，long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving，the wife in receiving，or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment．19.What can be inferred from the first paragraph？______A.

The wife experienced the most joy in receiving．B. An act of kindness can mean a lot．C. The prisoner was treated with mercy．D. Whoever breaks the law should be punished．DThe Medicine For InflationFor years，prices have risen in China for many reasons．However，inflation （通货膨胀）has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved．Inflation is not an unbeatable beast．In fact，economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it．There are now several methods of controlling inflation．Reduce the amount of money being issuedMany experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed．The more money the central bank issues，the more inflation there is．Therefore，the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued．Cut down on government spending and increase government incomeOver-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse．Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies，cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies （津贴）to prevent inflation from accelerating．Slow down the increase of salariesIt seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up．In fact，as salaries increase，the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase．Thus，increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds．It's like cheating．Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more．Increase bank interestsInterest increases can make more people put more money into banks．At the same time，enterprises take out fewer loans．Demand for money on the whole is lower．Keep prices under strict controlPrices can be lowered by setting a ceiling--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods．23.The word"issue"in Paragraph 3means ______ ．A. useB. printC. quarrelD. invent24.The writer uses"medicine"to stand for ______ ．A. ways to reduce inflationB. reasons for inflationC. something to treat patientsD. prices without control25.What is probably the best way to reduce inflation？______A. No money will be issued．B. Salaries will be reduced．C. More products will be produced．D. Prices will be controlled．26.The article does not mention ______ as a way of reducing inflation．A. controlling pricesB. adjusting bank interestsC. controlling the amount of money being issuedD. improving people's living standards．EYou're lost in the world of dreams and sleep．You roll over，smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate．And then，your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare when someone is screaming，"Get up!"It's just what every teenager goes through each morning! Now，there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school．The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside，Britain，recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour，from 9am to 10am．And the results are surprising．Since carrying out the later start，Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy，even hardly any lateness，and best of all，higher test scores．One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep，but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep．The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster，who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late．While adults are wide awake and ready at 8am，teenagers are not fully awake until 10am，sometimes even noon．Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning，but in fact，it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy，making the students easier to control．Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake．The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change．27.What's the best title of this passage？______A. Get up early，teenagers!B. Finally，a school understands teenagers．C. Why do teenagers stay up late？D. Difference between teens and adults．28.What's the meaning of the underlined word"truancy"？______A. gradesB. SubjectsC. AbsenceD. classes29.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle．B. Teenagers are fully awake at 10am．C. Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study．D. Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason．30.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？______A. The Monkseaton school is satisfied with the result of experiments．B. It is cruel for the teenagers to show up at 9am．C. The Monkseaton school plans to change the school time forever．D. Teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）A Love Note To My MomWhen I was a little girl，I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers．It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling(31)in your life．Little did I know you were(32)every penny you earned to go to(33)school．I cannot thank you enough for(34)you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine．After finishing my homework，I wanted to go into the dining-room where you were buried(35)piles of law books．I was(36)．Why were you doing what I do-memorizing textbooks and studying for(37)？When you said you were in law school，I was more puzzled．I didn't know．Moms(38)be lawyers too．You smiled and said，"In life，you can do anything you want to do．"As young as I was，that statement kept (39) in my ears．I watched as you faced the (40) of completing your studies，starting companies with Dad，while still being a (41) and a Mom of five kids．I was exhausted just watching you (42)．With your words of wisdom in my (43) mind，I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream．My whole world (44)．I set out to live my life filled with (45)，seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements．Your words became my motto．I (46) found myself in the unique position of being either the first （woman doctor in Maryland Rotary）(47) one of the few women （chief medical reporters）in my field．I gained strength every time I said，"Yes，I'll try that．"Encouraged by your (48)，I have forged ahead （毅然前行）with my life's journey，less afraid to make mistakes，and (49) meeting each challenge．You did it，and now I'm (50) it．Sorry，got to run．So much to do，so many dreams to live．31.

的近况并索要其联系方式；3）邀请Tom在春节期间来中国感受中国文化．注意：1）词数120左右；2）可适当增加细节．答案和解析1.【答案】B【解析】答案：BA．cost 费用，代价，成本；B．bargain交易，便宜货；C．amount数量，总额；D．value 价值，价格；分析句意可知，他们的房子卖得很便宜，所以买家得到了很划算的交易；此处应使用"bargain"；故选B他们将房子只卖了10000美元，因此买家以如此低廉的价格得到了很划算的交易．本题考查了名词的词义辨析；在做类似的题时，首先应根据句意提示，并结合选项中各名词的意思，进行逻辑推理；找到与该动词相搭配的名词，从而判断出空缺处应填的名词；因此，在平时的学习中，一定要积累一些词汇量，并熟练掌握它们的意义及用法．2.【答案】D【解析】答案：D，考查名词的辨析，invitation"邀请"，attention"注意"，protection"保护"，devotion"忠诚，热爱"，devotion to"对…的热爱"，故答案为D．这只狗如此爱它的主人，甚至在他死后都不愿离开他．考查名词的辨析，应区分各个名词的意思，根据语境确定正确的答案．3.【答案】B【解析】答案B A项"身体的，物理的"；B项"迅速的，立刻的"；C项"敏感的"；D项"突然"．由句意可知，发现嫌疑犯的快速反应是要报警．故B项符合题意．句意：如果我发现某人像嫌疑犯，我的第一反应就是要报警．考查形容词词义辨析．主要要弄清每个形容词的意思，然后再根据句意做出选择．4.【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查形容词词义辨析．independent独立的；confident有信心的；reliable可信赖的；selfish自私的；由下文的"如果他答应了做某事他就会去做"可以推断John是"可信赖的"，因此答案是C．John非常可信赖．如果他答应了做某事他就会去做．形容词辨析的关键在于积累词汇和一些相关的固定搭配，在此基础上结合语境，做出合理的判断．5.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查副词词义辨析．regularly定期地，有规律地；physically身体上地，物理地；usually通常地；formerly原先；本题副词修饰了动词短语take the pills（服药），根据常识判断，治疗疾病需要"定期"服药，所以答案选择A．如果当时他定期服用，这些药片本可以治愈他．辨析副词要在识记常见副词及其搭配的基础上理解语境，根据具体语境推断合理的答案．6.【答案】A【解析】答案A．calculate"计算，估算"；solve"解决"；explore"探索，探测，探险"；operate"做手术；操作"．根据前半句意思可知损失还没有精确计算，因此可以确定答案为A，其他三个选项与句意不符．损失还没有精确计算，但是据信会超过一亿美元．本题考查动词词义辨析．动词词义辨析题是高考常考内容，它注重考查考生对动词的理解和应用，要求考生在平时注意一些动词的词义区别，做题时还要结合语境及句意做出正确的选择．7.【答案】A【解析】答案A．attach"使依附，贴上，使依恋"；pay"支付，偿还"；link"连接，联合"；apply"申请，运用"．根据句意，父母认为教育重要，attach importance to"认为…重要"．故选A．句意：父母们非常重视教育，他们尽力给孩子们无价的礼物．本题是中档题，考查实义动词，要熟悉词义和固定搭配，如attach importance to"认为…重要"．8.【答案】C【解析】答案C．bring about"带来，导致，引起，产生"；advertise in"在…中做广告"；compete in"在…中竞争"；stand for"代表，支持，象征"．根据but he never been elected中的but可知前面的情况与这个分句所要表达的意思相反，compete in office意思是"竞争此职"，因此答案选C．他已经好几次竞选此职，但从未当选．本题考查动词短语．动词短语题是高考常考的题目，它注重考查考生对动词短语的掌握及应用，要求考生在平时注意积累一些常用的动词短语，做题时要结合语境及句子所要表述的意思做出正确的选择．9.【答案】C【解析】答案C．turn up"出现，露面；调高（音量等）；（失去后偶然）被发现"；put up"举起；搭建"；make up"弥补；化妆；虚构，编造；组成"；show up"显而易见；到场"make up the damage

be honest 老实说，说实在的"，故选D．说实话，这件工作的薪水不是很诱人，虽然工作本身很有趣．本题考查情景交际．解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意，分析上下文语境和逻辑关系．其次对每个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握，根据语境锁定正确答案．关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累多总结反复记忆．11.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】D【解析】51-54 DABD51．D

Last month, my parents came to visit me. Their observations (观察) on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.When my parents came to America, they praised my house. Everyone had his/her own bedroom; there was a front yard, a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms – all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, from southern China, was worried that someone would break open the glass doors. Though I said that nobody would do that, she was still worried about it. When I brought them to eat in fast foo d restaurants, whether it was in McDonald’s or KFC, they saw that refilling drinks was for free. This concept (观念) of free refill was so new to them.A Chinese friend told me a story. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea. He was curious, so he tried some and found that it didn’t taste bad with milk and sugar in it. Adding more water to tea is free of course, so he drank more cups. His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair. If he wanted to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills, but only a few of them did that. After staying in America for some time, he changed his habit.【1】We can infer that the writer _____.A．doesn’t like American cultureB．has got used to her life in AmericaC．received an American education as a childD．thinks American and Chinese cultures are the same【2】What made the writer’s parents worried?A．That someone would break into the house.B．That someone would be hurt by the glass doors.C．That they wouldn’t have a bedroom of their own.D．That they wouldn’t live comfortably in the house.【3】When eat ing at McDonald’s for the first time in America, the writer’s parents were probably surprised that _____.A．there were so many choicesB．the prices for food were so lowC．they could refill drinks for freeD．they could get extra food for free【4】The American girl mentioned in the last paragraph thought that _____.A．Americans like taking advantage of other peopleB．her boyfriend wouldn’t like traditional English teaC．drinking too much English tea harmed people’s healthD．her boyfriend shou ldn’t take advantage of the free refills2.You might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in 2015, there won’t be any candy, sugary cereal or fast-food commercials aimed at kids.The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices.First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn't have believed you,” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity.The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts(度假胜地). Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies(果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt.In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that don’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards will be banned from the company’s kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled.Leslie Goodman, Disney’s senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.Disney isn’t the only one pushi ng away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.【1】What will the Walt Disney Company do from 2015?A．Produce more and better cartoons for young kids.B．Stop broadcasting advertisements for junk food on TV.C．Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.D．Provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs.【2】What Michelle Obama said suggests that while watching cartoons _________.A．kids didn’t believe what the commercials saidB．kids don’t enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk fo odC．kids would see a lot of fast-food commercials on TVD．kids find pleasure in watching fast-food commercials【3】The underlined phrase “be off the air” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A．not be broadcast B．be in needC．become popular D．be praised【4】According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should ____________.A．watch fewer cartoons B．drink less sugary drinksC．not go to movie theaters D．take more physical exercise3.“I can’t concentrate.” “My mind wanders when I try to study.” Lack of concentration is one of the most common complaints heard at school.We all have the ability to concentrate. Think of the times when you were attracted to a super novel or the times when you were playing your guitar or piano. But at other times your mind races from one thing to another. Here are some tips.Rest from time to time. Remember to take short breaks. Lectures are usually 50 minutes long, and that’s about the length of time most people can direct their attention to one t ask. But that’s just an average. Your concentration time might be shorter (20-35 minutes) or longer (perhaps 90 minutes).When you take a break, you get more oxygen to your brain! When we sit for long periods, blood tends to be pooled in our lower body and legs. Get up and walk around the room for a couple of minutes. As a result, more oxygen is carried to the brain and you can concentrate better._______________If you study one subject for a long time, you may find it hard to concentrate. Many students improve their concentration by changing one subject to another every one to two hours. In this way you can pay more attention to something that’s different.Reward yourself. Give yourself a reward when you’ve completed a task. The task might be small, such as staying with a difficult paper until you’ve finished. But giving yourself a reward can help you be more interested in doing other tasks.Increase your activity level. Your concentration wanders more easily if you just read an article straight through. Inst ead, take the heading for each part and turn it into a question. For this part, that would be, “How can I increase my activity level while studying?” Then study that part to answer that question. Do this routinely. The questions give us a focus for each part and increase our involvement(参与).【1】According to Paragraph 3, what’s the purpose of walking around?A．To help us stay fit.B．To benefit our lower body.C．To provide the brain with more oxygen.D．To increase our concentration time to 90 minutes.【2】What’s the best title for Paragraph 4?A．Study for one hour each time.B．Do something difficult.C．Study in different ways.D．Change subjects.【3】In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that______.A．we just read the heading of some articlesB．we do our best to read an article straight throughC．we ask ourselves questions about what we are readingD．we ask other people questions about the article we are reading【4】The writer wrote the passage to______.A．encourage us to try to concentrateB．teach us how to concentrate while studyingC．give us the reasons for a lack of concentrationD．list the benefits we can get from concentration4.The nose is used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything.It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other people’s business. They do not interfere (干涉). The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. Such people are interested in other people’s private matters. They’re considered nosy. Someone who keeps his nose to the grindstone (磨石) works very hard. This can help a worker keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is that is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation doesn’t affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person cuts off his nose to spite his face. That is, he makes a situation bad for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry.More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something. The person acts as if something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also turn up his nose at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He has his nose in the air.In school, some students thumb their nose at their teacher. They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe the students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me when I was a student, “If you study hard, the answers should be right under your nose or easily seen.”【1】If we say a wife leads her husband by the nose, we probably mean she _____.A．loves her husband very muchB．controls her husband’s actionsC．gets on well with her husbandD．does whatever her husband wants her to do【2】Which of the following expressions could be used to tell someone to stay away from your private affairs? A．Don’t keep your nose to the grindstone.B．Keep your nose out of my business.C．Please keep your nose clean.D．You are really hard-nosed.【3】We can use the expression “has his/her nose in the air” to describe someone _____.A．who is too proud of himself/herselfB．who is very angry about somethingC．who often makes a situation badD．who doesn’t care about anything【4】If a student thumbs his/her nose at his/her teacher, the teacher would most probably feel _____.
