AHilton Head Island,in South Carolina,is a popular vacation spot on the East Coast of the US.There are250restaurants on the island.You can try the following excellent restaurants.Skull Creek Boathouse397Squire Pope Road843-681-3663It’s a good place for seafood lovers.Lunch is served daily from11:30a.m.to4p.m.,dinner from4 p.m.to9p.m.,and weekend lunch is served from10a.m.to3p.m.The menu is mostly seafood.Quarterdeck32Greenwood Road1-866-561-8802The view from this restaurant is wonderful.You have many choices,such as beef,burgers and soups. Open for lunch and dinner,the hours are11:30a.m.to5:00p.m.for lunch,and5p.m.to9p.m.for dinner.Frankie Bones1301Main Street843-842-4033They are open7days a week for lunch and dinner from11:30a.m.to8p.m.,and Sunday lunch is served from11:30a.m.to3:00p.m.For lunch you can enjoy sandwiches,salads,rice,and pasta dishes.The entrée(主菜)is served with soup or salad.The salad also has cheese,pine nuts and dried berries.Mellow Mushroom33Office Park Road843-686-2474If you want something different,stop in at the Mellow Mushroom.They have specialty(特色菜) pizzas,salads,and sandwiches.If you enjoy wines,you’ll surely find something you like.It is open7days a week—Sunday through Thursday from11:00a.m.to9:00p.m.and Friday and Saturday11:00a.m.to 11:00p.m.21.What is special about Skull Creek Boathouse?A.It offers breakfast on weekends.B.It is closed on Sundays.C.It mainly offers seafood.D.It is next to the sea.22.If you want a restaurant that has a good view,you’d better phone________.A.843-681-3663B.1-866-561-8802C.843-842-4033D.843-686-247423.Where is the restaurant that closes the latest on Saturdays?A.At397Squire Pope Road.B.At32Greenwood Road.C.At1301Main Street.D.At33Office Park Road.B（题文）There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crispsin the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences，no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.24.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.A.vocabularyB.grammarC.soundD.spelling25.It’s implied in the passage that the author may be________.A.a driver from the USB.a cook from the USC.a teacher from the UKD.a gas station worker from the UK26.In the author’s opinion，________.nguage differences don’t affect understandingB.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellingsC.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the futureD.it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels27.What can we learn from the passage?A.“Elevator”is commonly used in the UK.B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.C.In the UK，things are measured in pounds and ounces.D.British and American people drive on the same side of the road.C（题文）MySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people.MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like.Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it.Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents’worries.It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenagers，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends.They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone.I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances.But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace，”said Abby Van Wassen.She is a16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.“Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace，”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing andExploited Children has received at least288MySpace-related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web.And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age.It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，”Buchanan said.28.From the passage,we can learn that MySpace________.A.brings about the generation gapB.is very careful about people’s privacyC.encourages you to list your personal informationD.lists the telephone numbers of your friends29.Why are some parents against MySpace?A.Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B.Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C.Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D.Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.30.What can we infer from“Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”？A.MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.B.MySpace often holds parents meetings.C.MySpace is quite popular with parents.D.Parents have lots of questions about the website.31.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Internet SafetyB.MySpaceC.Generation GapD.The Digital EraDIn the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.However，this may not be true in all countries.An American professor discovered thedifference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的）university.The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at10A.M.and end at12.On the first day，when the professor arrived on time，no one was in the classroom.Many students came after10：30A.M.Two students came after11A.M.Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized（道歉）for their lateness.Were these students being rude？He decided to study the students'behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class，respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react，If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as19minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after33minutes.In an American university，students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast，in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class，only a few students left the class at12：00；many remained past12：30to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil，neither is staying late.32.What is the main idea of this passage？______A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.33.The word‘punctual'most probably means______.A.1eaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD.being on time34.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students'behavior？______A.He felt puzzled at the students'being late.B.He felt angry at the students'rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.35.It can be inferred from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation that______.A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020-2021学年四川省宜宾四中高三(上)开学英语试卷
2020-2021学年四川省宜宾四中高三（上）开学英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
1. Great Activities for Nature LoversHikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend （or longer）adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you're an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steepslopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.GardeningContrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your ownvegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.（1）What does hiking need for hikers？________A.A world map.B.A strong desire.C.Practical skills.D.Necessary equipment.．（2）Where will you go to show your survival potential in the wild？________A.To a backyard.B.To a forest.C.To a mountain.D.To a distant place.．（3）Which of the following can take you to travel farthest？________A.Hiking.B.Backcountry Camping.C.Gardening.D.Mountain and Road Biking.．2. I once heard this tale in India, where it is told as if true﹣though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They invite army officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says women are no longer the jumping on a chair at the sight of a mouse and an army officer who disagrees and says, "A woman's reaction in any crisis is to scream. And a man has more control than a woman."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She gestures to the servant standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the servant place a bowl of milk on the balcony just outside the open glass doors.In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing: bait（诱饵）for a snake. The American understands there must be a snake in the room. His eyes move across the room but see nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place ﹣ under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the animal into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know what control everyone here has. I will count three hundred﹣that's five minutes ﹣ and not one of you is to move a muscle. Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying, "two hundred and eighty…" When out of the corner of his eyes, he sees the snake make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to close the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host shouts. "A man has just shown us perfect self﹣control." "Just a minute, " the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that snake was in the room? " With a faint smile coming across her face she replies: "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What can we conclude from the passage？________A.Women are afraid of mice.B.The army officer's opinion is wrong.C.The American suggests playing a game for entertainment.D.The hostess has had previous experience catching snakes.．（2）Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.________a. The American's eyes sweep the room but he sees nothing.b. The American suggests the guests playing a game.c. Following the instructions， the servant puts out some milk.d. The hostess is staring ahead， a slight strange look appearing.e. The American shuts the balcony doors safely， and several screams are let out.f. The snake edges its way to the bowl of milk.C.d，f，a，b，e，cD.f，e，c，a，d，b．（3）Who has real self﹣control according to the passage？________A.The American.B.The army officer.C.The girl.D.The hostess.．（4）What may be the best title for the passage？________A.A Heated ArgumentB.A Striking Dinner PartyC.An Unbelievable StoryD.A Smart Hostess．3. Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT（Information and Communication Technology）revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly concludethat making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造业）with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate moneyto developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. Thequestion, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people'slives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty yearsor so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economicchoices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to________.A. a lack of confidence in technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources．（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should________.A. take people's essential needs into accountB. make their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial supportD. provide more affordable internet facilities．（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？________A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B. Believing that the world has become borderless.C. Ignoring the power of economic development.D. Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication.．（4）What can we learn from the passage？________A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.．4. It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates （灵长类动物）. Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn't competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition ﹣﹣﹣ the simultaneous（同时） demand by two orAs in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin's theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing（分类）take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student's fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes toofierce, jealousy（妒忌）can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.（1）What does the ecological definition mainly explain？________A. How to win the competition.B. What competition exactly is.C. What the result of competition is.D. How friends compete with each other.．（2）According to the writer， what causes the high school students to compete？________A. They know the laws of nature well.B. Friendship is a burden for them.C. The number of them is too large.D. They are divided into different groups.．（3）Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition？________A. Friendship is always based on competition.B. Competition is a result of lost friendship.C. Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.D. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.．（4）What does the author think of "competition"？________A. Competition is certain to happen at school.B. The result of competition are out of control.C. Competition becomes fierce in high school.第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks (尤指用手指或手快速地轻抚) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting (嘟嘟) noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about.She is in a state of “sleep paralysis (麻痹)”.Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched (弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing (猛扑), and fighting.In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent caning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals. How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.24.What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?A. The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B. The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.C. The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.D. The muscles of the dreaming cats are blocked to move.25.What can you know about dreaming from the passage?A. Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B. Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C. Rats often dreams to make certain their recent learningD. Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.26.Which animal may dream most frequently?A. Rats.B. Dogs.C. Cows.D. Elephants27.How does the author develop his passage?A. By making comparisons.B. By using figuresC. By telling storiesD. By showing factsCIf you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).28.What do we know about Starship Technologies company?A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.29.What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Delay.B. Prevent.C. Report.D. Discover.30.What can we learn about robot package delivery service?A. Customers can’t open the robots without a mobile phone code.B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.31.What may be the best title for the passage?A. Robot Delivery Service Is Taking OffB. Humans Are Being Replaced by RobotsC. Everything Can Be Done by RobotsD. Packages Can Be Delivered by RobotsDRich as a KingWilliam 1, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living person: neighbors, school classmates, f amous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors,There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find differ ent things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and m y awn worn Formica will seem equally shabby, I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.32.What docs the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complains.C. Get some extra money.D. Live in a satisfactory way.33.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.34.According to the passage, the author intends to.A. tell us to be content with lifeB. warn us to live in a simple wayC. leach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us lo struggle for wealth35.What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Uncaring.D. Cautions.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They are trying to remove the mountains standing near his homeThe story, from an ancient Chinese idom, goes like this: once upon a time, there lived an old man who was nearly 90 years old. His home faced two high mountains, making it inconvenient for him and his family to get around. Troubled by the great inconvenience, the old man discussed with his family and decided to remove themountains which blocked the way. They kept moving them day after day.Of course, things are totally different today. With society developing, we can build a road or tunnel rather than remove the mountains. But what is reflected in the story counts. It tells us that whatever difficulty we meet, we should never give up. If we don’t have the courage and determination to overcome every difficulty, nothing will be accomplished.。

四川高一高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
四川高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.I was walking into the office yesterday, minding my own business when all of a sudden I turned the corner and there it was, sitting on my chair. “Oh, my god,” I said surprisedly, “Zucchinin(西葫芦). “Isn’t that nice?” said Rachel, my workmate. “Somebody left zucchini for everyone!”Have you ever noticed how somebody actually gives you zucchini? At least, not in the same way they give you corn or apples or tomatoes, I mean, if someone wants to give you a few fresh, juicy peaches off their tree, they walk right up and hand them to you. You’ll be pleased. It seems that they have confidence you will like their gift. But with zucchini, they left it and went away. No note No calling card. I thought zucchini is the abandoned orphan of the vegetable kingdom.“Yeah, it’s nice, ”I said. “Who should we thank for this gift?” “I don’t know,” Rachel said. “You know how it is with zucchini.” Of course I do. Nobody actually grows it. At least, not on purpose. It just grows like weeds.“So what are you going to do with yours?” I asked. “I’ll just do what I always do with zucchini.” She saidThis morning I stepped into my office area carefully, afraid of what might be there waiting for me. There was a piece of bread in a white box sitting on my desk. I picked it up. It smelled wonderful. I took a bite. It tasted wonderful.“Who made the banana bread?” I asked. Rachel said, “It isn’t banana bread. It’s zucchini bread. ” I stopped chewing. “It’s delicious! But I hate zucchini”“So do I,” Rachel admitted. “But a few years ago I found this great way to cook zucchini bread , and now I actually look forward to zucchini season”I took another bite of the bread. I couldn’t help wondering :“How could anything so tasty come from something so distasteful?”“It’s a fact of life,” Rachel said. “You mix effort with creativity and you can turn almost anything around”【1】What happened to the author yesterday?A．She found a zucchini on her office chairB．She shared vegetables with her workmatesC．She made zucchini bread for everyoneD．She harvested the tomatoes she grew【2】Paragraph 2 is actually about .A．the author’s thoughtsB．a discussion between workmatesC．the way of making zucchini breadD．the author’s earliest memory of zucchini【3】We can learn from the underlined sentence (in Paragraph5) that the author .A．was afraid of receiving any giftB．disliked the zucchini at firstC．knew who gave her the zucchiniD．got angry when she saw the zucchini again【4】For what purpose is the text written?A．To introduce ways of making zucchini breadB．To teach readers how to grow zucchiniC．To encourage people to work hardD．To show readers the philosophy (哲理) of life.2.To a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient country is no longer just a cultural experience it has become an important part of their future professional careers.Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. "Culture matters," he said. "But more importantly, to learn Chinese and get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally." As a new student at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Clara's local government when he goes back home in one year. "I need to learn Chinese if I want the job, as we have a large Chinese community there."Gor is not alone in his thinking. While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 for the time being. Many of them are here to boost(提高) a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.“In the past, foreign students came to China simply for our culture,” said XuQuihan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to a stud ent’s future job”There are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation. Stephanie Schubmehlo, a 23-year-old from Rochester, New York State, said she would like to stay in Beijing after graduation. “I love the city, and I can earn myself a living here if I can speak good Chinese,” she said, adding that some of the US students she knows shared the same idea.【1】By saying “culture matters”, Gor .A．questioned the popularity of ChineseB．expressed his difficulty in learning ChineseC．showed the differences between two languagesD．stressed the importance of learning about another culture【2】Compared with that of the past, the present number of US students in China .A．has decreased greatly B．remains slightly unchangedC．has been over 100 times larger D．has nearly doubled【3】We can infer from the text that in 1984 US students learnt Chinese .A．just for the fun of itB．to experience a different cultureC．to ensure themselves a promising futureD．for both cultural and professional purposes【4】In XuQiuhan’sopinion, .A．Chinese is too difficult for foreign studentsB．more and more Americans will study in ChinaC．professional skills are more important than cultureD．China’s development makes Chinese professionally useful3.What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away. But what if that insect is a ladybug (瓢虫)? It is possible that you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign. A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good. The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects. It’s the baby ladybug. When the baby ladybugs hatch (孵化), they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealy bugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. They completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid (液体). Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away.So the next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be doing. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree.Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.【1】Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to .A．add more ladybugs to area B．report the weather for farmersC．act as a lucky sign of good crops D．save orange trees by eating insects【2】From the passage we know that .A．it’s the adult ladybug that eats most of the harmful insectsB．ladybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birdsC．ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselvesD．the baby ladybug mainly eats mites, aphids, mealy bugs, and oranges【3】The underlined phrase “stand up to” most probably means .A．watch B．support C．save D．fight【4】Which of the following may the author agree with?A．Ladybugs do harm to nature.B．Ladybugs are unusual insects.C．Ladybugs are dangerous insects.D．Ladybugs eat more than they should.4.Few kids today are taught the value of empathy (同感；同情心). It seems so hard for people to show their love and care toward others and to actually understand what they are going through.As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone el se every day. I admit that it wasn’t very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of gratitude (感激) in that person’s eyes, you just want to do as much as you can.I had an experience with a guy that people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was really making a difference in his life.After a while I realized that he wasn’t the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still really good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What had changed was the attitudes of others toward him.From this experience I’ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day.I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.One kind word could make someone’s day brighter.【1】We can learn from the fourth paragraph that .A．one’s attitude to others can be changedB．one’s nature can be changed as time goes byC．everyone can have a good friendshipD．people shouldn’t make fun of others【2】The last two paragraphs suggest that _______.A．saying a kind word will give you friendship and funB．it is really a hard thing to say a kind word to othersC．having a lot of fun in life will help to make a good lifeD．a kind word may benefit both the speaker and the listener【3】What does the writer focus on in this passage?A．Understanding.B．Friendship.C．Kindness.D．Fun.二、完形填空The other evening we had a knock at the door. It was a new _______ who introduced himself and his boys to us. He also ________ us to a block party as a way to know the people in the neighborhood as well as celebrate the first anniversary of his two adopted sons (养子) coming to ________ with him.We've lived here almost six years and __________ has ever come to introduce themselves. I ________ we should have taken it on to introduce ourselves to people moving_________，but we haven't.

I have many ________ friends but I have to admit that I haven't usually been the one to develop the ________ in my own neighborhood.This experience ________ me of one of my favorite quotes: “When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was ________ to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to __________ my town. I couldn't change the town and as a(n) ________ man, I tried to change my ________ . Now, as an old man, I ________ the only thing I can change is myself, and________ it occurred to me that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have had an influence on my family and ________ on my town.

As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren't written until the final threat.I've been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter has finished university and is working toward her master's degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a "vo-tech" student（技校学生）. They're called "motorheads" by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him "motorhead", I was shocked. "Hey, he's a good kid," I wanted to say. "And smart, really."I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don't often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. "Hey, I can fix it," said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was 25insteadof800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.l have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most importantly, I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.（1）What used to be the author's hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author's unachieved goals.（2）What can we learn about the author's children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master's degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn't write his book reports.（3）The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ________.A. his son had the ability to fix itB. it would save him much timeC. it wouldn't cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help（4）In the author's eyes, motorheads are ________.A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude（5）What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.3. Once an Englishman named Larry Belmont went to Russia for a holiday． After he got back, some of his friends came． "I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia, " Larry said． "I went to see a friend in the country when the sun went down, I was still travelling through a forest in a sleigh（雪橇）． It was a long way from my friend's house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh．""It was very dark in the forest． There was thick snow on the ground． First I heard the wolves． The noise was terrible!

" one of Larry's friends asked．"When the wolves got very near, " Larry answered, "I put up my gun and shot the first wolf dead． Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so my sleigh got away from them for a few minutes． Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again． The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more． They came nearer again, and then I shot another one ofthem, and the others stopped once more to eat it． The same thing happened again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following me．" "Wasn't it too fat to run?

As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought tea drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th century. The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day. Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the "tea break" However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people. It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.Around 1 800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anne Maria, began the popular practice of "afternoon tea", a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock. Until then, people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner. At approximately the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread-in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them. Before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon,involving tea and sandwiches, had become part of the British way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain's favorite drink. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day's labor. This meal has become known as "high tea". Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day, and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain-with the exception of water.（1）What is mainly discussed about tea in the text？A.Its development in Britain.B.Its traditional ways of drinking.C.Its influence around the world.D.Its popularity in Europe.（2）What does the underlined words "the beverage" probably refer to？A.Tea.B.A small meal.C.A way of eating bread.D.A choice of drinks.（3）Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century？A.It was merely served in London.B.It was taxed as an alcoholic drink.C.It was forbidden in business settings.D.It was too expensive for most people.（4）How is the text organized？A.By cause and effect．B.By comparison.C.In time order.D.In space order.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
