For example, you may be a shy person and you don’t like it; you wish you are an outgoing person. You might then think that you are not smart enough. All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. Fortunately, there are always things you can do to make you like yourself. Here are some tips:1. Write your success storiesOne reason we may not like ourselves is that we are to o focused on what we don’t have that we forget about what we(already) have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.2. Accept thin gs you can’t changeThere are some things you cannot change，such as your background and your past. So learn to accept them. You will feel much relieved if you treat things you can’t change the way they deserve：just accept them，smile，and move on.3. Focus on your strengthsInstead of focusing on your weaknesses，focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique person. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.4. Stop paring yourself with othersYou are unique. You can never be like ___________，and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people. Instead，it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose，so it’s useless to pare yourself with others.1.

Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food.Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), cocoons(茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation—a classic example of “when life gives you lesions make lemonade.”8．How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?A. They fell down there by accident.B. The research team brought them there.C. The storehouse builders left them there.D. They were attracted by the environment.9．What does the underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Rotted.C. Exploded.D. Melted.10．What did the researchers find in the nest?A. Larvae.B. Cocoons.C. A queen.D. Worker ants.11．Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?A. They had enough food.B. They were able to reproduce.C. They adapted to the conditions.D. They had new ers to join them.Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, health, and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals(个人) long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday bees a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth（财富）over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.In recent years, Thanksgiving has bee a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with "matchless savings", businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is being victim to over-mercialized（过度商业化）society—changing from a meaningful time for family to a day devoted to products and shopping.Black Friday has shown that with current mon standards(标准), people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember, Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.12．What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 probably refers to?A. The sign of a shift.B. The true value of Thanksgiving.C. The shopping crowd.D. The material wealth.13．In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving es?A. They’ll visit some newly-opened shopping centers in advance.B. They’ll choose a big store for their first visit.C. They’ll make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.D. They’ll go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.14．In the last paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell us that we should ______.A. appreciate what we've possessed with our familiesB. stay with our families as long as we canC. try to spend less to get low cost productsD. set aside a single day to buy more15．What's the author’s attitude towards the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving?A. puzzledB. unconcernedC. happyD. worried二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（Ａ，Ｂ，Ｃ，和Ｄ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2019—2020学年度高二英语下学期月考试题(含答案)
2019～2020学年度高二英语下学期月考试题第一部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题，每题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AAre you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve got a guide to help you.You’re not alone.Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.The teachers will help.If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students. Pay attention to what your teachers say.Everything changes.There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.Other points.Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on.If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but things will become better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!21. The author says that you’re not alone, because other students ______.A. are polite and friendlyB. will help you if possibleC. feel the same as you doD. will learn the new rules with you22. What does the writer think of moving up to senior high school?A. It is a difficult problem.B. It’s a good chance.C. It sounds simple.D. It’s worrying.23. Which of the following does the writer suggest you do?A. Just act naturally.B. Don’t be shy.C. Change yourself.D. Pay attention to others.24. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. tell students about a new experienceB. help students that are going to senior high schoolC. tell students how to make full use of timeD. teach students how to organize themselvesBAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence(自信).Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback(反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficultie s when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."25. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praiseB. increase self-confidenceC. become strongD. do better in their studies26. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.A. make them live more happilyB. let them do more difficult workC. help them do better in schoolD. encourage them to improve27. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. Children don’t know what they’re really good at.C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.D. Duke thinks praise is more important than fin ding children’s strengths.28. The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to _________.A. the effectB. the praiseC. the advantageD.the confidenceCHi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father isdead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the ma n was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are coincidences(巧合). Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.29．According to the passage, the writer believes that the sixth sense is ________. A. in existence B. imaginative C. not real D. impossible30．ESP lets people know _________.A. about events before they happenB. about events after they happenC. about events that are happening some distance awayD. A and C31．By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.A. learn how people tell liesB. know more about human dreamsC. know more about human mindD. learn how strange things happenDIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a disaster or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages — bread, vegetables and other things — not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on —“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(犁雪车) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.32. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a disasterD. for which snow is a wonder33. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter34. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important35.The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs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。

Have you ever been in a taxi when the driver always makes noises with the horn? You probably answer “Yes”, but have you ever tried to stop for a moment and listen to the silence? Probably not. Silence is a thing to which we pay little attention.Today many of us are too busy to appreciate the small things in life, including silence. With the development of economy(经济), we are surrounded (环绕) by noise and sometimes we can’t realize how noise influences us, but it really changes how we talk and listen to each other. Because we are so used to noise, we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise. Even when there is no noise we want to talk to fill up the silence. It seems funny that we are afraid of these moments when there is no talking, and we call for the awkward(尴尬的) noise because we feel unfortable. But in fact silence can be better than noise, and we need to appreciate it.Some of my friends asked why I didn’t talk very much. In fact I like talking, but I don’t like pushing away silence by talking because I appreciate the beauty of silence. I believe in what one of my friends ever said, “ Do not talk unless you can improve upon silence.”So next time when you are on a bus or in a taxi, remember to appreciate the silence you e across later in some day.6. According to Paragraph 1, we pay little attention to _____.A. a telephoneB. a taxiC. silenceD. noise7. What does the underlined word “horn” mean in Paragraph 1?A. 立体声B. 小号C.扩音器D.喇叭8.

Noise can not influence people’s life.D. Noise can bring us a lot of happiness.10. The writer doesn’t like pushing away silence by talking because_____.A. he is on a bus or in a taxiB. he believes in one of his friendsC. he doesn’t like talking very muchD. he appreciates the beauty of silenceCIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds．It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been，and they don't recognize you or any of their friends---every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time．But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them．A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think．In fact，certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago．In the study，researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food．They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again．Researchers used puter software to monitor the fish's movements．They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food．This suggested that they could remember their past experiences．In fact，scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory．An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish，perhaps because they remembered their past "fights"．But until the latest findings，there was no clear evidence．Just as a good memory can make our lives easier，it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild． "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food，they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk，"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science．For a long time，fish were placed far below chimpanzees，dolphins and mice onthe list of smart animals．But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence．11．What is the article mainly about？A．Fish being smarter than we thought．B．Fish having very bad memories．C．How fish improve their memory．D．What we can learn from fish．12．According to the article，people used to believe that __________ ．A．fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB．fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC．a fish's memory lasted for only seven minutesD．fish didn't recognize any of their friends13．How can fish benefit most from a good memory？They can remember _______ ．A．where to get food and surviveB．their enemies and fightC．where to escape to when in dangerD．their friends and help each other．14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Fish don't belong to the list of smart animals.B. Fish can remember more.C. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.15. Which animal is believed to be smart?A. A birdB. A horse.C. A mouseD. A snakeDI went to live with my husband in a desert in California during the war, because his army camped there. I hated the place and I had never before been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty. I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was unbearable. There was no one to talk to. The wind blew non-stop. All the food I ate and the air I breathed were filled with sand, sand, sand!I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was giving up and ing back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I would rather be in prison! My father answered my letter with just two lines--two lines that will always sing in my memory --two lines that pletely changed my life: Two men looked out from prison bars,One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.I read those two lines over and over. I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present situation; I would look for the stars.I made friends with the natives, and their reaction amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had refused to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus(仙人掌). I watched for the desert sunsets, and hunted for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the sands of the desert had been an ocean floor.The desert hadn’t changed me,but I had. I had changed my attitude. And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing adventure of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and found the stars.16. Why did the writer live in the desert?A. Because she liked the desert.B. Because her parents lived there.C. Because the army ordered her to.D. Because her husband’s army camped there.17.How was the weather there?A. WarmB. ColdC. Very hotD.

A1. What is the advantage of Fineways’ new food labels?A. They provide extra nutritional information.B. They warn customers about unhealthy foods.C. They show different customers’ nutritional needs.D. They remind customers of the harm of unbalanced nutrition.2. According to the passage, the new labelling system can help to ______.A. reduce the amount of food you takeB. follow GDAs by mixing various foodsC. make your choice of more delicious foodD. satisfy the growing demands for nutrition3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A dinner menu.B. A research report.C. A fashion magazine.D. An advice brochure.BOn September 10, 2024, Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, announced his successor(继任者)at the company he founded 19 years ago. Jack Ma will quit his role as chairman on September 10, 2024. Surprisingly, in a country where 70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run, Mr. Ma did not name a family member. Rather, one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel Zhang, an 11-year Alibaba old h and chosen only for his “professional talent.”The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business, or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines. Ma is a true innovator(创新者)in many ways, most famously for building an innovative online shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries. But his legacy(遗产)may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce founders of successful organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives.“Alibaba was never about Jack Ma,” he stated in announcing his succession plan. Instead, the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company culture based on innovation, transparency, and responsibility. “For the last 10 years, we kept working on these ingredients,” he stated.The company’s future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation, he said. And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust toward those outside the family circle, Ma has built an “architecture of trust” with customers, who number over half a billion. Chinese now readily rely on Alibaba’s online payment system, its ratings of products and services, and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company.China’s rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day. Many of them, like Ma, have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty. As many countries have discovered as they progress, it is better to swim in a talent pool, not a gene pool.4. What do we know about Daniel Zhang from the passage?A. He’s a talented professor.B. He’s an experienced employee.C. He’s a success ful founder.D. He’s Chairman of Alibaba.5. Where does Ma’s legacy lie in?A. Becoming a successful innovative founder.B. Casting doubt on traditional succession plan.C. Providing creative answers to succession problems.D. Representing trends towards non-family-run companies.6. What seems to be the recipe for the company’s future success?A. Trust-building methods.B. The “architecture of trust”.C. A culture of talent development.D. The latest successful innovations.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Prefer Qualities to Blood.B. Train a Potential Successor.C. Favor Genes over Talents.D. Provide New Management.CIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her brown hair and big, innocent eyes, I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I touched her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.8 What is the author's wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.9. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.10. How to get happiness in author's opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C Get rid of those disturbing things. D. Take charge of your life independently.11. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughter's growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young father's experience.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says,“ Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are.”The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communicationsystems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate(协调) complex actions and accomplish survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.12. What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.13. What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.14. In paragraph 4, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.15. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labor among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.其次节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依据短文内容，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。

ALife in space will certainly take some getting used to! But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as fortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 21°C. It’s important the crew members are fortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：Foode mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn’t require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!SleepEach crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away！That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!ExerciseYou might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sitdown or wal k in space, so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.ClothingAstronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from -84 °C in the shadow of the station to 121°C in the hot sun.Personal CleanlinessSimple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo，and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space? Witha special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.21. The text is mainly about ___________A.ways to get used to life in spaceB.fun facts about life in spaceC.temperature changes in spaceD. a typical workday in space22. What do we know about space food from the text?A.Astronauts could eat apples in space in the pastB.Astronauts eat only fruit, vegetables and ice cream now.C.Space food is getting better now than before.D.Fresh food isn’t available to a stronauts in space.23. Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth?A. Because it can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.B. Because it can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.C. Because a stronauts’ lives are more importa nt in space than on Earth.D. Because it can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.24. What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”?A. The temperature is quite different in different places in space.B. Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.C. Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.D. Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.BIt's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works pare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more plex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a xx study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting orrestricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the moreyou deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fastingis a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain maybe more to blame than your stomach.25. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______.A. remind readers of their own special food.B. deepen the understanding of hunger.C. report the discovery of craving study.D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.26. What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings.B. It ensures a person survives hunger.C. It means the stomach functions well.D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.27. What's the likely result of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals.B. Theincrease of food desire.C. The refusal of fat and sugar.D. The disappearance of appetite.28. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage?A. EducationB. EntertainmentC. ScienceD. EconomyCNASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it willbe more famous for making your next holiday e more quickly.The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problemsof supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. Ifsuccessful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde（协和客机）. That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground—disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be mercially used.In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to mercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.“As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be something that's acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA's mercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use.”29. Why does the author mention Concorde?A. To suggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.C. To introduce how a mercial plane is designed.D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be mercially used.30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the new plane.B. The working principle of the new plane.C. The problems of the new plane.D. The potential market of the new plane.31. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean?A. responseB. mitmentC. investmentD. agreement32. Why does the author write the passage?A. Because he wants to inform people of NASA's new plane.B. Because he wants to prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.C. Because he wants to explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.D. Because he wants to clarify some misunderstandings about mercial planes.DOf all natural disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year, with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭) enriches soil and some plant species grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.33. Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use ofB. huge walls of flames can burn acres of landC. they make the greatest loss of all disastersD. they spread too fast and do great damage34. Almost 25% forest fires are set_____.A. unexpectedlyB. bylightingC. on purposeD. naturally35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The advantages of forest fires.B.

I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more thana “yes”or “no”response such as“What do you like about this place?’rather than “Do you like this place?”Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?”Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.21. The author didn’t pay attention to what the girl was saying because .A. her voice was very lowB. he was shy and nervousC. he was attracted by her appearanceD. he wasn’t interested in her topic22. To get rid of your shyness, you should .A. pay much attention to yourselfB. find a beautiful girl to talk withC. learn to talk to others in a relaxing wayD. ask people some interesting questions23. It can be inferred from the text that .A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looksB. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselvesC. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happyD. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys24. Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isn’t it?B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam?D. Why do you find that English is difficult to learn?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。
