ASydneyPass FaresThe value-packed, all-inc lusive sight-seeing package that combines the best ofSydney’s harbour, city, bay and beach highlights.A SydneyPass gives you unlimited and flexible travel on the Explorer Buses:the ‘red’ Sydney Explorer shows you around our exciting city sights while the ‘blue’ Bondi Explorer visits Sydney Harbour bays and famous beaches. Take to the water on one of three magnificent daily harbour cruises(游船). You can also travel free on regular Sydney Buses, Sydney Ferries or CityRail services (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city.Imagine browsing at Darling Harbour, sampling the famous seafood at Watsons Bay or enjoying the city lights on an evening ferry cruise. The possibilities and plans are endless with a SydneyPass. Wherever you decide to go, remember that bookings are not required on any of our services so tickets are treated on a first in, first seated basis.SydneyPasses are available for 3, 5 or 7 days for use over a 7 calendar day period. With a 3 or 5 day pass you choose on which days out of the 7 you want to use it. All SydneyPasses include a free Airport Express inward trip before starting your 3, 5 or 7 days, and the return trip is valid for 2 months from the first day your ticket was used.*A child is defined as anyone from the ages of 4 years to under 16 years. Children under 4 years travel free.**A family is defined as 2 adults and any number of children from 4 to under 16 years of age from the same family.1. A Sydn eyPass doesn’t offer unlimited rides on ______ .A. the Explorer BusesB. the harbour cruisesC. regular Sydney BusesD. CityRail services2. With a SydneyPass, a traveller can ______ .A. save fares from and to the airportB. take the Sydney Explorer to beachesC. enjoy the famous seafood for freeD. reserve seats easily in a restaurant3. If 5-day tickets were to be recommended to a mother who travelled with her colleague and her children, aged 3,6 and 10, what would the lowest cost be ?A. $225.B. $300.C. $360.D. $420.BTransportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freelywi thin certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.4. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that ______.A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the countryB. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasonsC. travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visasD. customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries5. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because______.A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to othersB. they think such freedom will lead to warsC. they often disagree with each other on important mattersD. they want to show their authority over communication6. We may learn from the passage that ______.A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countriesB. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselvesC. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural onesD. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist7. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Barriers Made by PeopleB. Functions of CommunicationC. Restrictions on TransportationD. Progress of Human SocietyCEngineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality（理智）, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mi x as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.8. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he ________.A. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals9. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can ________.A. balance engineering and the liberal artsB. receive guidance in their careersC. become noble idealistsD. broaden their horizons10. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected ________.A. to have an excellent academic recordB. to be wise and matureC. to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD. to be a technical genius with a wide vision第二节（共5小题；每题两分，满分10分）根据短文内容。

甘肃省兰州第一中学高一英语下学期第一次月考试题
甘肃省兰州第一中学2017-2018学年高一英语下学期第一次月考试题第I卷I.阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，共30分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
（每小题2分，满分20分）ADo you like air travel with a service dog? Air travel makes some people very nervous. The crowds, the noise and flying itself can cause unease. But there are classes people can take to help them defeat their fear of flying. And, let me introduce similar training for service dogs that suffer the same problemService dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for. You will see them working on buses, trains and other public transport systems. But the busy environment found at an airport can trouble even the best trained working dog.People with disabilities depend on their dogs. They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas. They also need the dogs to remain calm on duty on the plane, even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training. The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found.The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight. It is called a flight simulator, which was built for filming airplane scenes in movies.Sandy Alexander has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog, Doc, to be always at his side. Mr. Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips. He says Doc did not like the bumpy part of the flight simulation( 模拟).Dog trainer Mary Segall is with Canine Companions for Independence. It providesdogs for people with disabilities. Ms Segall says successful training is based on a simple rule: preparation." Dogs need to be exposed gradually and repetitively to stimulation, to the environment, to loud noises, to sounds and to other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis, they are able to act in a way that they're used to acting and that they don't get excitable."Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flight. Their dogs also seem ready for take-off.1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By asking a question.B. By introducing a novel.C. By comparing fear of flying.D. By giving an example.2. Why is Sandy Alexander's example given in Paragraph 5?A. Because he likes dogs.B. Because his dog is clever.C. Because he will play a role in a film.D. Because the author wants to develop the following paragraphs.3. From the last paragraph we can draw a conclusion that ________.A. the training is very easyB. service dogs don't like flying with their ownersC. service dogs adapt themselves to the stimulation slowly.D. dog owners are satisfied with trainingBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-hearted drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave, or thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical example is the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time that all of us took this message to heart.4. According to the writer, a good driver should __________.A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feelD. encourage children to cross the roads whenever they want to5. Troubles on the road are often caused by _______.A. great speedB. traffic jamsC. terrible road conditionsD. the behaviors of the drivers6. It is not always right for drivers to ________.A. master roadmanshipB. create atmosphere of good willC. encourage old ladies to cross the roadD. give a friendly nod to show politeness7. What's the best title of the passage above?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic JamsC. Good MannersD. Modern DriversCParents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn. Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand thetasks."They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."8. The underlined expression "parental involvement" in paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. parents' participation in children's educationB. parents' expectation on children's healthC. Parents' plan for children's futureD. parents' control over children's life9. What is the major finding of Robinson's study?A. Parents are not able to help with children's homework.B. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.C. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.D. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.10.The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should _______.A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. take a more active part in school managementC. set a specific life goal for their childrenD. spend more time improving their own lives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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AAsking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter(骗子) you really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs said.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. What key American values are.B. Why Americans refuse to ask for help.C. Asking for help is a sign of strength.D. Americans are responsible for their life.2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?A. impoliteB. identicalC. incompetentD. inappropriate3. What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?A. Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust.B. Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.C. Americans should learn to build up confidence.D. Americans lay emphasis on individual values.4. What can we learn from Jobs’ words in the last paragraph?A. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.B. Be brave to try whatever you want.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. Learn to cooperate with others.BThroughout my educational years, despite the kind teachers I had met, I never felt interest in writing until I met her, Mrs Kelley. At first, I believed that writing would still be my worst class. Gradually, my fondness increased. She taught the lesson in such a lively way and her word choice impressed me. But that was not what made her my favorite. Unlike other teachers, after instructions, she gave an enormous amount of freedom in what we wrote, allowing us to create our own stories using our imagination. And that mattered most.There was one really revolutionary event: the historical fiction unit. We were to invent out own stories using the period we were given. World War II was mine. At that point, I was just looking for a good grade. Rather than creating a mundane (平淡的) story, I wanted to make a story that I felt was meaningful. As I progressed, I was pulled further and further into the reality that I had made. Grammar no longer existed, as my hands gained acceleration. When I typed the final word, my hands trembled with excitement. Briefly, I read it over and then submitted the draft. In the midst of anxiousness, Mrs Kelley responded. She pointed out some mistakes and gave some suggestions. Sadly, there were no comments of recognition. I fixed the errors and moved on. But when waiting for the final grade, i erased all the unrealistic thoughts that wandered in my mind.In the next class, surprisingly, after handing back my paper, Mrs Kelley mentioned that my story was very good. I looked at her in confusion. Soon excitement stirred inside me. I found a “+5” attached to the score. She had given an extra point in “Plot”,adding an “Excellent!”No other teacher had done this. On that day, I felt what it means to be a writer. Mrs Kelley introduced me to the beauty of literature and made writing so enjoyable.5. What made Mrs Kelley so special according to the author?A. He patience and kindness.B. Her confidence in students.C. Her creative teaching style.D. Her professional knowledge.6. How did the author feel when Mrs Kelley responded at first?A. Excited.B. Worried.C. Surprised.D. Disappointed.7. What was the biggest benefit the author got from Mrs Kelley’s class?A. Recognizing his talent.B. Finding the joy of writing.C. Determine his lifetime career.D. Acquiring practical writing skills.CThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.8. What can laughter increase according to the author?A. Cognitive abilityB. Good relationshipsC. A sense of humorD. Happiness and trust9. What does the author think the old should do?A. They should have a good rest.B. They should play like children.C. They should prevent cognitive falling.D. They should take part in physical play.10. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Humor, Laughter and Play for HealthB. Always Keep Our Body HealthyC. Have an Active and Happy LifeD.

AA Language Programme for TeenagersWelcome to Teenagers Abroad! We invite you to join us on an amazing journey of language learning.Our CoursesRegardless of your choice of course, you’ll develop your language ability both quickly and effectively. Our Standard Course guarantees a significant increase in your confidence in a foreign language, with focused teaching in all 4 skill areas----speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing(确保) the fastest possible language learning (see table below).EvaluationStudents are placed into classes according to their current language skills. The majority of them take on online language test before starting their programme. However, if this is not available, students sit the exam on the first Monday of their course. Learning materials are provided to students throughout their course, and there will never be more than 15 participants in each class.Arrivals and TransferOur programme offers the full package—students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end. They are collected from the airport upon arrival and brought to their accommodation(住宿) in comfort. We require the student’s full details at least 4 weeks in advance.Meals / Allergies(过敏) / Special Dietary RequirementsStudents are provided with breakfast, dinner and either a cooked or packed lunch(which consists of a sandwich, a drink and a dessert). Snacks outside of mealtimes may be purchased by the student individually. We ask that you let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements as well as information about any medicines you take. Depending on the type of allergies and/ or dietary requirements, an extra charge may be made for providing special food.1.How does Intensive Course differ from Standard Course?A. It is less effective.B.It includes extra lessons.C. It focuses on speaking.D. It gives you confidence.2. Before starting their programme, students are expected to _____.A. take a language testB. have an online interviewC. prepare learning materialsD. report their language levels3. With the full package, the programme organizer is supposed to_____.A. inform students of their full flight detailsB. offer students free sightseeing tripsC. collect students’ luggage in advanceD. look after students throughout the programmeBOf cou rse, she wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work thename into as many conversations as possible.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe(食谱) with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.4. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?A. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.B. She enjoyed her parents’ reactions.C. She liked Aunt Fannie’s recipe.D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie”.5. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A. Aunt FannieB. the author’s grandmotherC. the author’s motherD. Aunt Fannie’s grandmother6. In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to______.A. hold onto the first coin in lifeB. make as many friends as possibleC. spend more time with family and friendsD. make money with their own hands7. What could be the best title for this passage?A. The Key to SuccessB. A Fortune Built from a CoinC. Blueberry Jam RecipeD. A Relationship of TrustCIt is widely acknowledged that nearly every kid might come across some kind of school bullying(欺侮), however, the age at which kids were first bullied could influence how strongly they are affected, suggests a new study. And, surprisingly, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in adolescence(青春期), the researchers say. people subjected to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children who were bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive(富有攻击性的) or are more likely to turn to drinking as a means of coping with it. These are the conclusions of psychologists Matthew Newman and colleagues of Texas at Austin, US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students about their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence- before high school- and in late adolescence- at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, judging by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all showed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽动), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time duringadolescence: females are more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to drinking to escape bad situations. The best solutionin all cases was strong social support, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman, “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”8. What determines the degree of bullying’s effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The person who first bullies them.D. The age at which they are first bullied.9. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and his colleagues?A. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.B. Some are likely to be more aggressive.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.10. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflected in _______.A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to provocationD. the type of bullying they receive第二节阅读补全 (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填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMother Teresa (August 26, 1910-September 5, 1997) was a great woman, who did a lot to improve the social condition of mankind. Due to her contribution in serving the society, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize aged 69.She was brought up in a Catholic family. When she was only seven, she lost her father. Even as a young child, she was interested in the life of missionaries (传教士). At the age of 18, she decided that she would become a nun. She left her home and went to join the Sisters of Loreto. It was the first step that she made towards providing services for mankind.On the 7th of October in the year 1950, Mother Teresa received Vatican permission to start the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, the mission of which would be to take care of the needy, the homeless, and people who were shunned by the society. Then it had a number of branches all over the country. The journey o f Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity started with the setting up of homes for "the Dying".In the year 1983, Mother Teresa suffered from a serious heart attack, while she was in Rome. However, she recovered. But, later in 1989, she again got an attack. Her health went worse and in the year 1991, she suffered from pneumonia. Taking her health problems into consideration, Mother Teresa decided to resign (辞职) from the post of head of the order.A secret vote was conducted in which all the nuns voted for the stay of Mother Teresa except herself. So, she agreed to continue serving as head of the Missionaries of Charity. Day by day her health was getting worse. On September 5, 1997, exactly nine days after her 87th birthday, this great soul departed for heaven.1．Why did Mother Teresa devote her life to the religious life?A．Because her parents had a deep influence on her.B．Because she wanted to provide services for others.C．Because she thought the life of missionaries simple.D．Because she came to know the Sisters of Loreto.2．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "shunned" ?A．Cared. B．Concerned.C．Ignored. D．Affected.3．Why did Mother Teresa decide to resign from her post?A．She realized she couldn’t fully serve the people in need.B．She was only worried about her health condition.C．She wished to lead a more comfortable life.D．She knew a heart attack would take her life away at any time.BGenetic engineering, in its broadest definition, means to control a species so that a particular trait is increased in the population. A trait is how an organism (有机体) looks oracts or what it does. Having brown eyes is a trait. Flying in circles is a trait. Climbing trees isa trait.The earliest forms of genetic engineering occurred on farms. People selected seedsfrom plants that had more fruit production or tastier leaves than other plants of their types. Then they chose to save the seeds from the best of that group to sow the next year. So, year by year, the farmers produced better and better crops. This type of activity probably hasbeen going on since mankind first settled in villages and began making a life for themselvesin one location, about 12,000 years ago!The same sort of thing would have also happened with animals. For example, people chose to eat the animals that didn’t have favorable traits and let the animals with the favorabletraits reproduce. It was thousands of years before mankind figured out how plants and animals reproduce themselves. With this knowledge, people could pollinate (授粉) plantsby hand or keep a pair of animals together in order to deliberately cause an increase in afavorable trait.It was only in the last 250 years that scientists began figuring out chromosomes (染色体) and genes and the role they play in the way one generation passes its traits on to thenext. And it’s only been in the last 30 years that scientists have been able to cut out specific genes from one organism and put them in another. It is this 30- year-old technology that is described by the narrow definition of genetic engineering. Mankind has long been able tohave a deliberate impact on the world around him. He now possesses the tools todeliberately impact himself. Some people are afraid of what might be done with that power. 4．The text is mainly developed by ______.A．asking questionsB．examining differencesC．making comparisonsD．giving examples5．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ______.A．the spread of genetic engineeringB．the advantage of genetic engineeringC．the original application of genetic engineeringD．the popularity of genetic engineering6．The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A．specific genes B．special traitsC．chromosomes D．scientists7．What can we learn about genetic engineering from the last paragraph?A．It has a history of 250 years by the narrow definition of genetic engineering.B．Scientists don’t know how to make good use of it.C．People have a misunderstanding of it in the past 30 years.D．It is becoming a powerful tool of mankind.CAmerican high school students are terrible writers, and one education reform groupthinks it has an answer: robots. Or, more accurately, robot-readers—computersprogrammed to scan students’ essays and spit out a grade.Mark Shermis, professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron, ishelping to hold a contest, set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (WFHF),which promises $ 100,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automateda high school teacher and you give a writing task, you’re walkin grading software. “If you’rehome with 150 essays,” Shermis said. “You’re going to need some help.”Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s, but computers back thenwere not up to the task. In the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbooks andtesting companies jumped into the field. Today, computers are used to grade essays onSouth Dakota’s student writing assessments and a handful of other exams, including theTOEFL test of English fluency, taken by foreign students.The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as Englishteachers—only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. “Automateddiately. If students finishessay scoring is objective,” Shermis said. “And it can be done immean essay at 10 pm, they will get a result at 10: 01 pm.”Take, for instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessor, a web-based tool marketed by Pearson Education, Inc. Within seconds, it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization,and help students to make revisions. The program scans for key words and analyzessemantic (语义的) patterns, and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of textmuch the same as a human reader.8．The text is written to introduce ______.A．education reform in AmericaB．robot-readersC．Hewlett contestD．William and Flora Hewlett Foundation9．From Paragraph 3, we know that in the 1960s ______.A．Computers were not easy to getB．Automated grading software was popularde essays automaticallyC．Computers couldn’t graD．People refused automated essay grading10．The Intelligent Essay Assessor can ______.A．Rewrite essaysB．Underline the mistakes in red inkC．Correct key words and patternsD．Understand the meaning of text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。
