辽宁省沈阳市2016-2017学年高一英语6月月考试题第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）1-20题 (略)第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）AThere is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.21. Before the man had the accident, he __________.A. had toured around the worldB. had visited local prisonsC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been friends with the prison minister22. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ________.A. receive the school educationB. write to other people who needed encouragementC. meet the people who were depressedD. help other people who lost arms and legs23. From the officer’s short note we are told that __________.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the manD. his letters were very popular among the prisoners24. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Humorous PersonB. Popularity of Special LettersC. Special Letters of EncouragementD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersBTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Res earchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded the most earned about twice as much i n the game as the groups that rewarded the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at aconference on violence and abuse（虐待）. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?A. Children’s IQs have much to do with physical punishment.B. The study is about violence and cooperation of children.C. The children tested were divided into groups of four.D. Child ren’s mental development only relies on their IQs.26. What does the underlined word “spanked” refer to?A. punishedB. blamedC. testedD. praised27. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Best Way to Correct MisbehaviorB. Punishment Is the Best Way of EducationC. Cooperation Is the Most Successful BehaviorD. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?CCar companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets, ust like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and Mp4 do. Called “plug-in vehicles”, these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won't have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot ofgreenhouse gas, which causes global warming.The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world，Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are g etting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. Li-ion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving. What's more, the batteries are much expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,”says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn't pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“The answers don't exist yet, ” Bohn says, “As a kid, I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven't been decided. That's what engineering is about-making a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”28．According to the passage, the main problem of the new car is ______________.A．the developing B．the speed C．the appearance D．the batteries 29．Which is true according to the passage?A．The “plug-in vehicles” will use electricity completely as driving power．B．The new technology will help protect our environment．C．The technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical now．D．The biggest challenge of the ne w technology is that it will cost us more energy．30．How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?A．Confident B．Puzzled． C．Worried． D．Disappointed．31．According to the passage, the new technology is facing the problems except that_______．A．the new technology cannot come into use at presentB．the cost of the new technology is quite highC．the government won't support the technologyD．the size of the batteries is too big at presentDLook and feel better in 30 days, guaranteed!Our proven workout system helps you reach your goals fast.Many Americans are overweight for lack of physical activity.

Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 37 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.38Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of th ose they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 39 In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 40A. Family and FriendsB. How Big Dreams DieC. Does a big dream show one’s future?D. They simply fail until they succeed.E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrongF. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I 41 across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other.

2016年东北三省四市教研联合体高考一模英语试题答案
AIn his new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey's Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated（截）below the knee.Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, "The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: V olume 3",explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a "stubborn" patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor."It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, 'You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, "' Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. "Tap dancers-they're always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, " he said.Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won't shy away from the physical "weakness" his performance shows because of his condition."A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, 'You're such a role model and an inspiration, ' "he said. "I'm honored when people say that, of course, but I'm just trying to get on with my life."21. What makes Ruggiero's new show unusual?A. One-legged dance.B. His own artworks.C. The use of instrument.D. Songs of pop standard.22. According to the passage, it is true thatA. Ruggiero is a tough person with a strong willB. the setback has ended Ruggiero's dance careerC. Ruggiero is dancing relying on others' supportD. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying23. When audience attend his performance, they may noticeA. Ruggiero plays piano, sings and dancesB. Ruggiero is a dancer with the help of a peg legC. there are many tap dancers in the performanceD. Ruggiero pretends to be a physically normal person24. What's the author's attitude to Evan?A. WorryB. SympathyC. EncouragementD. PityBFour Must-See Route 66( 66号公路) AttractionsThe United States is full of odd roadside attractions. Route 66 is home to some of the oldest and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road:1. Paul Bunyan and a Hot DogRoute 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants(巨人) right along the road. These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s. Many of them stood in front of service stations. They held car parts, such as mufflers. The collection of Route 66 giants became known as "Muffler Men". Businesses hoped the strange statues would get travelers' attention.The first fiberglass giant was a "Paul Bunyan" figure, built in the early 1960s. It's said that Paul Bunyan is a famous wood worker.2. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica RayCrown Candy Kitchen has been serving Route 66 travelers from the very beginning. It is just a few short blocks from the 66 path through St. Louis, Missouri. The family-run soda fountain shop opened more than 100 years ago, and has been making candies and meals ever since.On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, creates unusual sculptures.3. The World's Largest Rocking ChairFanning, Missouri, is home to one of the strangest Route 66 attractions. Just off the road sits an almost 13-meter-tall rocking chair.The structure was completed in 2008 0n the first of April, or April Fool's Day.At one time the chair actually rocked. But officials decided it had to be still to be safe for ever. People are not permitted to climb the chair. We think, however, that it probably happens once in a while when no one is watching.4. Big Texan's Steak ChallengeFew places better represent the common expression "Everything's Bigger in Texas" than the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Since 1960,it has appealed to travelers with big appetites and a big love of beef.It is hard to miss the huge yellow restaurant-or the giant cow statue that sits out front. The cow advertises Big Texan's special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famous: a "free" 72-ounce(英两) or 2-kilogram steak. There is one trick: the steak is only free if you can eat the entire thing in one hour.A special table is in the middle of the restaurant for the daring diners who accept the challenge. Since 1990,more than 9,000 diners have eaten the entire 2-kilogram steak.25. What was considered as "Muffler Men"?A. Hot DogB. Jamaica RayC. Car partsD. Paul Bunyan26. Where will you maybe wait in line on weekends?A. Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog.B. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray.C. The World's Largest Rocking Chair.D. Big Texan's Steak Challenge.27. If you visit The World's Largest Rocking Chair, you have toA. get there in AprilB. climb up and rock itC. see it 13 meters awayD. travel to Fanning, Missouri28. What is Big Texan's Steak Challenge?A. The giant cow statue sits out of the huge ranch.B. Diners eat up the entire 72-ounce or 2-kilogram steak.C. The Big Texan Steak Ranch is the biggest restaurant in Texas.D. The daring diners sit around at a special table in the restaurant.CThe following simple exercise routine works as well as prescription medication (药物治疗) without the side effects.A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay: Regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines (偏头痛) , a growing body of research suggests.Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40-minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months, according to a Swedish study.The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migraine-preventing drugs-topamirate but without the side effects of depression and tremors(刺激).Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches, too, says Alexander Mauskop,M.D. ,director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan.There are a couple of theories on how it works.Breaking a sweat may relieve stress, says Dr. Mauskop. Headaches are often triggered byThe feel-good chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors, acting as a natural painkiller.Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics (遗传),lack of sleep, or certain foods, cardio won't be the solution for everyone, Dr. Mauskop says. But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients, which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market.Dr. Mauskop recommends his patients do a half-hour reasonable intensity (强度)cardio, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week. These workouts are meant to be slow and steady, as opposed to high-intensity intervals that alternate between all-out runs and rest.Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people, so make sure your heart rate doesn't jump above 150 BPM. If you don't have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose. You 'Il know you're going too hard if you can't keep up that breathing pattern.Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks, Dr. Mauskop says.29. According to the passage, the author may agree thatA. jogging, swimming and fishing are cardio workoutsB. neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effectsC. migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workoutsD. cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines30. The underlined word "triggered" in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by _A. curedB. releasedC. causedD. monitored31. The feel-good chemicals produced can help with regular headaches becauseA. it eases the stressB. it breaks a sweatC. it prevents migrainesD. it blocks your pain sensors32. What would be the best title?A. A cure for headache.B. Side effects of migraine.C. The causes of headache.D. Advantages of cardio workouts.DTry rubbing (摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together tomake them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called "friction"(摩擦力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石),but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous (磷),a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match, on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole(底)of a shoe.At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852,the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the match head-it was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.33. Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood?A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight.B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well.C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat.D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match.34. What did the chemists make the match of in 1827?A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves.B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper.C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper.D. Phosphorous , sandpaper and flint.35. If we used the safety match, we could seeA. loose matches could catch fire fiercelyB. phosphorous wasn't needed inside matchboxesC. there were matches and sandpaper in matchboxesD. the special surface containing sandpaper and phosphorousC笫二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Clones in fictionStories featuring clones always draw me in. I've read enough fiction books about clones over the years. 36The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna37 Eva is Amarra's clone. She learns what Amarra learns in school, eats what she eats, and studies every last detail of her life. The trouble is, no matter how hard she studies, outside of their appearances Eva and Amarra aren't that much alike. To make matters more complex, she learns Amarra has a boyfriend she must learn to love as much as she does when her own heart secretly belongs to someone else.When Amarra is killed in a car crash just after their 16th birthday, Eva has to pick up her life where she left it off. Her life depends on convincing Amarra's loved ones that she is Amarra.38The House of Scorpion, by Nancy FarmerThis is not just one of my favorite books about clones, but one of my favorite books. Between the border of the United States and Aztlan, which was once Mexico, lies Opium, a land ruled by drug lords（毒枭）.El Patron is the most powerful drug lord in Opium, a man almost 20 years old. 39Matt is El Patron's clone. El Patron has been using clones like Matt to keep himself alive. But before he is needed, the drug lord treats him like a prized pet. El Patron's family dislikes him, thinking him inhuman and a possible threat（威胁）to their inheritance（遗产）．The older he gets, the more Matt feels trapped at every turn. 40A．Can they accept that?B. They are very fearful and tiresome.C. Cloning is considered to be criminal.D. Is there any way he can be free to make his own life?E. Can you be attracted by the rich imagination of the stories?F. Everyone is struck with fear in the heart when hearing the name.G. It's unbelievable that a person has to spend the whole life learning to be someone else.第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分）My husband and l were enjoying wandering through the stores in a shopping center.

A message I needed."Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass," the plaque said," It's about learning to 50 in the rain."How often in our daily lives have we put 51 on our happiness? When we get the house _52 , then we can be happy. When things 53 down with the kids, then we'll be able to do more together. There is so 54 joy for the here and now in the uncertainties of the whens and thens.Looking at the plaque, I found myself unknowingly live the plaque's message. I 55 off my shoes and stockings in a light 56 and began walking 57 through the water. Maybe my neighbors thought that I had lost my 58 wisdom, but I don't care. For in that moment, I was alive.I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares.The plaque now hangs in my living room. I walk past many times each day and frequently pause to ask myself " So, am I dancing in the rain?"I think I am, I know I try to. I'm _59_ taking time to pause and recognize and be grateful for the blessings that are all around me.One step 60 ,I am learning to dance in the rain.41.

As a result, found that we seldom had a chance to get together, then we decided we would set aside three evenings the week for a sit-down dinner. First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment-Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. After a couple of week of trying this plan, almost everyone was unhappy. For a while, the kids began to resist the idea. They said they would rather to spend the time with their friends or take part in some activities. Gradual, though,they began to see these evenings together for a very different way. We laughed a lot and we discussed about each other's problems. Since a few months, we all felt that we had been able to build much strong relationships with the family than we had before.笫二节书面表达（满分25分）假设你是李华，你中国的好朋友开了一个网站提供个人闲置物品交换( exchange)服务。

AMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty- three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-- through the boot(行李箱)。
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤)，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.1.

TV movieD. cartoon showCMy best friend and I were in the shop that she owns. It was the middle of the afternoon; we were both pretty happy and making plans for the weekend, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, almost lazy. Suddenly a man entered the shop. We knew, somehow, that he didn’t look like one of our usual customers, but we welcomed him politely anyway. Without any hesitation he pulled something out of his coat that we did not recognize immediately, but when he ordered us to go into the back with him, there was no doubt that this “something” was a gun.Giving us precise orders, he offended us and kept reminding us that he could shoot at any time. He looked for the money in the register, from our wallets, and then he asked for our jewelry and we gave him all he wanted. Finally he brought his “job” to conclusion and left.When I was a child, I felt safe with my parents in my home or wherever I was not alone. Then I began to understand the news and I learnt that horrible things were happening “out there”, but I still kept thinking that those events were just other people’s worries, not m ine. From the precise moment the guy walked out of the shop. I completely changed my way of relating to the world. I always look around to see which kinds of people are possibly following me. Now I usually double check everything: If I’ve locked myself in the car or in the house. I am always careful not to wear any jewelry. Whenever an unknown guy is getting too close or is trying to get information from me, I tighten up. I know that it is wrong, that not everyone is looking to attack me again.After all, I consider myself lucky, since nothing really bad happened to me or to my friend, but what affects me is the thought of what could have happened. We could have died or he could have beaten or rapedus! I know that I have to work on it because since that day I haven’t felt safe anymore. What I don’t know is where to start. Now I am sure only of one fact, that I blame this guy, not for having taken my jewelry, but for having deprived （剥夺）me of my innocence.8. Which of the following statements best describes the main idea of the passage?A. A joke that a stupid friend played on the writerB. Terrible things can happen to anybodyC. A car accident and other bad things that happen to peopleD. A robbery and its effect on the writer’s life9. Which is true according to the passage?A. The man in the shop was one of the usual customersB. The robber took money and jewelryC. The writer knew immediately that the robber had a gunD. The writer was in the shop alone when the robber entered.10. How is it that the author considers herself lucky?A. She did not lose all her money.B. She has never been robbed again.C. She has only injured slightly.D. She could have been hurt or killed, but she wasn’t.11. What was the most serious result of the robbery to the writer?A. She doesn’t trust others or feel safe.B. She and her friend were beaten and raped.C. Her friend closed the store after the robbery.D. The robber was still at large.DMany Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic(学术的) achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.Like in America, there is diversity(多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential(潜力的) development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several moreprogressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.12. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________.A.Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parentsB.Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC.Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD.Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs13. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ________.A.preparing children academicallyB.developing children’s artistic interestsC.teaching children mathematicsD. shaping children’s character14. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?A. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can make more group experience grow there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D.They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.15. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to ________.A. broaden children’s knowledgeB.train children’s creativityC.lighten children’s study loadD.enrich children’s experience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。

I picked it up and saw the words”FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION” at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject,History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.One day of the History exam of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling.”My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades,but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise.” I thought.When the teacher said we could start,I turned the paper over.To my surprise,all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous.In the end, I almost left the paper undone.After the exam,I ran to the toilet,took out the paper and carefully read it from the top.Oh!It was last year’s exam paper.I read all the questions but I hadn’t read the date.This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground.I regretted doing such a silly thing.

Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives, These days,shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.It is possible to be born shy?Many scientists say yes.They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly,these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetle. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children.They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result,they became shy.At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.Growing up alone,they often play by themselves.They are not able to learn tha same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences. In Japan,most people said they were shy. But in Israel,only one of three people said so. What explains the difference?One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure(失败）.In Japan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about themselves.They blame(责备）themselves for their failure.In Israel,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.In Israel,freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported.This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job.But scientists say you can get over your shyness.They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don’t forget - if you are shy,you are not the only one.31.What is the passage mainly about?A.HappinessB.LonelinessC.kindnessD.shyness32.What does the underlined word”genetic”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.:Learned from friendsB. Passed down from parentsC.Taught by teachersD.Made up by brothers33.What can be learned from the passage?A.Most little babies are born shy and quiet.B.If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.C.Most Israelis people are shy of expressing opinions.D.Many shy children have older brother brothers and sisters.34.We can learn from the passage that _____ may cause shyness.A.genetics,family size and birthplaceB.genetics,grown-ups and birthplaceC.family size,grown-ups and failureD.genetics,family size and freedom35.Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by ______.A.blaming their failure on outside reasonsB.Getting themselves away from their shy parentsC.Trying new things and practicing conversationsD.Trying to understand reasons for their shyness36.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(P=paragraph)CWhen children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children.So that we can be sure they”know” all the words they are reading.This means that when they don’t know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.Mistakes make them embarrassed and they soon lose interest in reading.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all cost to get rid of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more bravely.One day soon after school had started,I said to them,”Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that’s enough for me.Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”The children sat surprised and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,”Mr.Holt,do you really mea that?”I said just as seriously.”I mean every word of it.”During the spring she really surprised me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From the illustrations(插图）I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself.”It can’t be.”and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick.I said.”Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?”She answered,”Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”This is exactly what reading should be find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,and go on to something else.37.According to the passage,children’s fear and dislike of books may result from______.A.being made to read aloud beforeB.reading often and bravelyC.being made to read too muchD.reading little and thinking little38.The teacher told his students to read ______.A.for knowledgeB.for enjoymentC.for informationD.for higher scores39.After hearing the teacher’s talk,the children probably felt that _____.A.it sounded stupidB.it sounded too good to be trueC.it was not surprising at allD.it was the same as other teacher’s talk40.In the teacher’s opinion ________.A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB.Reading means understanding every little piece of informationC.Reading is never a pleasant and exciting experience in schoolD.Children should be left to decide what to read and how to read.四、回答问题AI am a plastic bottle.A week ago,I was on a supermarket shelf.I had a normal life,the same as all my brothers and sisiters-other bottles full of water.I felt really happy.Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket!The woman took me home and put me in the fridge.It was cold,but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it.However, only a few hours later,she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me.Then she threw me into a dustbin.I have never felt so empty and alone in my life.Early the next morning,a man took me out of the dustbin.He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck.There were so many horrible smells.Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish.Soon I was completely flat.I cannot believe how thin I became.I slept for a while.When I woke up,I found myself in a terrible place.Everything around me was ugly and had horrible smells.I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a layer of soil.I asked another bottle what would happen to us.He said that we would never leave this horrible crowded place,but would have to stay here for thousands of years.“Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?”I cried.41.Was the bottle happy at the beginning of the story?42.When did the bottle feel empty and alone?43.Why did the bottle feel afraid after sleeping for a while?44.What will happen to the plastic bottle?45.How should people deal with the empty bottles according to the writer?BThanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.So where does the name “Black Friday” come from It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick.

They are both the world’s best boarding schools.23. In which section of a website can we probably read this passage?A. LifestyleB. OpinionC. International NewsD. Culture ExchangeBIt was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept marching.I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on marching.The incident both ered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I could n’t help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Café, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted t o Bean’s?Before long my idea took off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, many companies gave free seedsto customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”.It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America—and we’re seventy million strong—plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don’t have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.24. Why did the author turn down the beggar’s request?A. He was previously reminded not to do so.B. He was eager to march back to the hotel.C. He thought that it was beyond his duty.D. He was short of money at that moment.25. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took off” (Paragraph 6)?A. We eventually took off at 11 o’clock and landed in Seattle safely.B. To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.C. On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.D. His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.26. What did the author do after the beggar’s incident?A. He felt guilty but couldn’t help him.B. He started a project to help the hungry.C. He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.D. He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Plant a Row for the HungryB. Lend a Hand to BeggarsC. Never Hesitate to Help OthersD. Plan a Gardening ProjectCIn 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles—and the world’s most trafficked mammal (哺乳动物)—pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales (鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps wewill take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fueling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.28. How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?A.4.B.5.C.6.D.7.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.B. Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.C. The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.30. What can we know about the plan released by the US?A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B. Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C. The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.31. What is the author’s intention of writing the passage?A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.DWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you’ve ever experience d a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you changes as well.Most people don’t make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There’s no “getting rid of people”.People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into as sociations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends? Once y ou have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by sm oking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can't have you in my life anymore." But eventhough this might seem like a selfish act at times, it's often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it s also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.32. When experiencing major life changes, people may_________.A. join a new social communityB. influence their friends aroundC. choose their friendships purposelyD. have their people environment changed33. What docs the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Everyone has at least one friend.B. It is unnecessary to make new friends.C. Friendship still exists though there’s less connection.D. You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.34. What is the author's opinion on the loyalty to friends?A. Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B. Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C. Stick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.D. Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.35. How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?A. We should accept what we are told to do.B. We should stay silent and be in favor of it.C. We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.D. We should give our boss courage to continue.第二节（共5小題；毎小題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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
