2013级高二下学期第二次月考英语试题试卷类型：A 时间：100分钟第一部分：听力（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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWhen Jane put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” “Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?”The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with their peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.1. The author’s purpose in writing the pa ssage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschoolingB. explain what homeschooling isC. share his ways of teaching his childrenD. promote homeschooling2. What is the biggest advantage of homeschooled children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can socialize better.D. They will know how to arrange time.3. What do we know about homeschooled children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activitiesD. They can’t gain enough knowledge....4. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of time.C. By making comparisons.D. By presenting data.【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. C【解析】试题分析：本文介绍了作者的朋友对于孩子教育问题的所采取的的措施，即家庭式教育，并发表自己的观点。

赤峰二中2013级高二上学期第二次月考英语试题试卷类型：A 时间：100分钟第I卷第一部分：听力（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）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ABill Javis took over our village news-agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock. Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile. He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path. For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a momentI had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.1. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he needed the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing2. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business3. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because _______.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat4. what’s the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 2?A. become noisyB. become lessC. become strongerD. become busyBGenetically modified (转基因) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world. From the seed dealer, to the farmer that buys the seed, to the workers that the farmer sells to; all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, the US and the rest of the world. They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product, and anyslight problem with them could affect a whole country, these tests are very necessary.These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997, the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A n ovel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food pr oducts.There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers. They can improve the nutritional (营养的) value or the storage conditions of the food. Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use, these are GM soybean and GM maize.Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.5. What do we know about the novel food?A. It’s very popular in EU.B. It’s bad for people’s health.C. It’s a new kind of food.D. Its story has been published.6. Genetically foods are allowed to be sold if they are .A. tested for safetyB. of high qualityC. more nutritionalD. grown in Europe7. From paragraph 2, we can learn that genetically modified foods .A. do no harm to peopleB. have caused some problemsC. are well received after being testedD. are criticized and attacked by many people8. What’s the writer’s attitude towards genetically modified foods?A. We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.B. We should give people information about them so that they can decide whether to buythemC. We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.D. We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.CIn the last few years the popularity of eBooks has exploded.

学年内蒙古赤峰二中高二月第二次月考英语试题

赤峰二中2014级高二下学期第二次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as ￡600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenagedaughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him2. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.3. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.4. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.BStreet art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It hasbecome part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the citymaking creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.5. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.B. Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.“TAG”was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.B. There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.D. All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.7. The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because ________.A. they caused arguments between peopleB. they were ugly in someone’s eyesC. they were not painted under proper guidanceD. they didn’t express traditional culture8.Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Way to Become a Street ArtistB. What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?C. The History of Street Art MovementD. The Work of Street ArtistsCIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual”world to attract online shoppers.9.The underlined word leery means _________.A. distrustfulB. confidentC. hopefulD. disappointed10. Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.A. shopping freedomB. shopping convenienceC. Internet accessD. Shopping security11.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current onlineshopping?A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unrealB. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenientC. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortableD. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow12.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to thepopularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.A. Internet companiesB. advertising companiesC. courier companiesD. credit card companiesDDear Ms. Wang,I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want themto understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.Yours,Edward Johnson 13. According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1?A. Critical thinking.B. 5-paragraph essay.C. Sentences to paragraphing.D. Writing for TOEFL and CEE.14. We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course______.A. has aroused students’ interestB. enjoys a nationwide reputationC. has won a number of awardsD. benefits anyone who takes it15. Why does Edward write this letter?A. To seek assistance from the administration.B. To inform the school of his course plans.C. To show his achievements in Latin.D.

AWhen it was announced that Patrick Modiano had won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Oct.9, the Swedish Academy had not yet managed to reach the writer himself to tell him the news. as the Telegraph put it, “It was a curious case of missing personhood in an author whose career had been spent in searching others, within the confines (界限) of a single city.”Though the 69-year-old French author has had a successful writing career, only six of his books have been translated into English. One reason for this might be that “Modiano’s storylines are as slim as the books themselves”, said the BBC.While most of Modiano’s works don’t r un for hundreds of pages, they explore serious subjects. The author’s signature themes are Germany’s occupation during World War II and the evolution of Paris over the past century.Modiano’s life has been greatly affected by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war, and his family’s connections to it. According to New York-based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably. When Paris’s Jews were rounded up for deportation(驱逐)to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.“The novelist has a duty to record the traces of the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish Studies, told The New York magazine.In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and to the same themes: Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.Paris is another recurring(重复的)theme in Modiano’s works .Most of his novels are set in the city , from the rich parts of downtown Paris to more remote suburbs where the characters try to live anonymous protect lives.Anne Ghisoli, the director of Librairie Gallimard, a bookstore in Paris, concluded, “Modiano is a master of writing on memory and occupation, which haunt(萦绕)and inform his works. He is a chronicler(年代记录者)of Paris ,its streets, and its present.”21.According to the article, Patrick Modiano ____________.A. likes to involve his his memories in his writingB. usually writes stories with disappearing peopleC. is so popular that post of his works are on saleD. didn’t suffer much during World War II thanks to his father22.The underline word “slim” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.A. thinB. hardC. simpleD. dull23.Which of the following can be the best title?A. French Author’s SurpriseB. Modiano’s Life and His BooksC. World War II and the NazisD. Memory Author Wins the NobelBR.U.Darby and his uncle were digging for gold in the West. After weeks of labor, he was rewarded when he discovered shining ore(矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So he borrowed money from his relatives and neighbors and went back to work on the mine.The first car of ore was mined and sent to a smelter. The gold that they got in return proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big profits.Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened! The vein of gold ore disappeared! The pot of gold was no longer there! They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again, but they found nothing.Finally, they decided to quit. They sold the machinery to a man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. That man asked a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer said that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines(裂纹线)”. His ca lculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where it was found.The man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to ask for expert advice before giving up.R.U. Darby was struggling for years to pay back the money from his relatives and neighbors. He went into the business of selling life insurance.Remembering that he lost a huge fortune because he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited from the experience in his chosen work, by the simple method o f saying to himself , “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say 'no' when I ask them to buy insurance.”Darby is part of a small group of fewer than 50 men who sell more than a million dollars in life insurance every year. His “stick-ability” comes from the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.24.Darby and his uncle stopped digging for gold because___A. They didn’t have the machinery to dig for the oreB. They didn’t have enough money to man age the mineC. They had already had enough gold and made big profitsD. They had tried to find the vein of gold again, but it was in vain.25.What was a good quality of the man who worked on the mine after Darby and his uncle?A. He knew the machinery better than the Darbys.B. He knew the importance of seeking expert advice.C. He had very strong stick-ability and never gave up.D. He was good at calculations and familiar with fault lines.26.What happened to Darby in the end?A. He became a very successful businessman.B. He worked as an ordinary salesman selling life insurance.C. He struggled for the rest of his life to pay back the money he had borrowed.D. He lived an easy life with all the money he had earned from the gold.27.What is the main message that the author intends to convey with the story?A. One is never too late to start a new career.B. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you are in need.C. Never give up and you will succeed eventually.D. It is important to have knowledge about everything.CVisitor Guide to Birch Aquarium General InformationThank you for respecting the health of our animals and the experience.◆Keep voices low in exhibit areas.◆No tapping on marine life displays.◆As a courtesy, please silence cell phones.◆Please use trash and recycling bins.◆Birch Aquarium is smoke-free facility.PhotographyFor the safety of our live animals, please do not use flash photography.

ScienceDPolar bears are one of the most popular animals for people. Polar bears are different from every other bear in the world. This is because polar bears have white fur. However, there are many facts about polar bears that people might not be aware of .年The skin of polar bears is black, which according to allows them to absorb more heat from the sun. Polar bear fur is transparent , because it is made up of hollow guard hairs. explains that the reason polar bears display white fur is that when the sun hits the fur ,the hollow spaces in the hair scatter the light. Since none of the light is absorbed, the light reflected back appears white to human eyes.Polar bears’ conservation status is considered close to extinction. Global warming is considered the main cause of the decline in polar population. Polar bears use ice floats to hunt for their food.However, these ice floats are melting so polar bears are starting to drown in the search for food ,and the food is becoming more difficult to get. Contrary to popular belief, polar bears do not eat penguins ,because polar bears are not found in the Antarctic region of the world. Polar bears are only found around the Arctic Circle. Polar bears do not drink water. They get all the water they need from the prey they eat.FES. Gov specifies that polar bears are considered the largest land carnivores(食肉动物) in the world. The polar bear weight ranges between 700--1,500 pounds. Since the polar bear habitat is melting away, their main evolutionary advantages are fading. Polar bears are not able to use their camouflage(伪装) to find prey in habitats not covered with snow. Polar bears do not hibernate(冬眠). However, when the weather gets uncomfortable, or mothers give birth, polar bears will dig themselves a hidden home.What can we do to help save the polar bears? We can donate to organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, reduce our carbon footprint, and send letters to politicians explaining to them that we need to set up more preserves to help save the polar bear habitat.32.What do we know about the fur of the polar bears?A. It absorbs more heat from the sun.B. It is black and hollow.C. Light can pass through it.D. It is white actually.33.What does “main evolutionary advantages” in Paragraph 4 refer to？A.

Some readers even jumped to an absurd conclusion that “EI accounts for 80 percent of success.”I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” areas, where intelligence matters relatively little for success.IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter —whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.4. The author writes the passage to ________.A. state his new opinion on IQ and EIB. explain the importance of IQ and EIC. argue for his study into school learningD. clear up some misunderstandings of his book5. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for ________.A. winning a quiz; becoming a star performerB. being a leader; receiving an MBA degreeC. family relations; being promoted at workD. becoming an accountant; getting an interview6. The author might agree that ________.A. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain fieldB. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstoodC. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievementD. success has everything to do with intelligence7. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. the two same studies have opposite findingsB. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EIC. students’ school performance is decided by their EID. the SEL programs im prove students’ scores rap idlyCHave you ever noticed tiny raised areas on the branches of a tree? These may have been insects. These small insects feed on tree sap (汁液). Insects on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees. As a result, urban trees suffer from heavy infestations (害虫横行), and are often unhealthy or die. To protect and restore urban trees’ health, we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.Living organisms interact closely with their environment. The warmer, more drought-stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler, less drought-stressed trees. As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier, damaging insects will become more abundant on urban trees.Trees within urban forests are valuable economically and for the environmentalsustainability (可持续性) of the region. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Across the globe, people are moving into cities at a faster rate than ever.Rapid growth may turn cities into places with harder conditions. Although cities are primarily made of buildings, roads, parking lots, and vehicles, there are still plants in them. The trees within a city are referred to as the urban forest. Urban forests offer very big benefits to human and environmental health. They improve air and water quality, provide habitat for wildlife. cool down temperatures air and water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, cool down temperatures and beautify our environment. They make cities livable.However, being a city tree is not easy. Heat released by human activities is trapped in cities. As a result, temperatures in urban areas are often warmer than their surrounding rural areas. We call this urban warming or the urban heat island effect. Urban habitats are mostly made of surfaces of asphalt (沥青 ) and concrete. These surfaces reduce the amount of rainwater that reaches tree roots. As a result, urban forests may suffer, which can negatively affect people and the environment. What can we do to restore urban forests? Regular irrigation when possible may help keep pest populations under control. Planting tree species that are suitable to handle heat and drought stress would also reduce the occurrence of insect pest outbreaks.8. Why do urban trees suffer from heavier infestations?A. Because urban insects are more abundant.B. Because more people have come to cities.C. Because cities become hotter and drier.D. Because more tree sap can be fed on.9. What causes the urban heat island effect according to the text?A. The use of asphalt and concrete.B. The heat that is trapped in urban areas.C. The lack of unban forests.D. The lower temperatures in rural areas.10. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5?A. Watering.B. Inspection.C. Pest killing.D. Tree planting.11. What would be the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. Show how to solve the urban warming.B. Display the importance of urban trees.C. Tell us methods to protect urban trees.D. Call for people to protect urban trees.DChildren of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a c hild’s emotional intelligence.Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center.PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durán direct s the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence•” he said Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.12. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?A. By playing the role of a companion.B. By giving direct guidance.C. By taking photos with a camera.D. By presenting visual images.13. What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?A. It is programmed to replace teachers.B. It may be good company for kids.C. It can get started automatically.D. It is intended to design games.14. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?A. They are quite easy to operate.B. They can teach children numbers.C. They help kids express themselves well.D. They can show their emotions clearly.15. What is the best title of the text?A. Toys help to build emotional intelligenceB. Educational toys sell well in the Toy FairC. Toymakers are making profits in educationD. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair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。

内蒙古赤峰二中高二英语上学期第二次月考试题

内蒙古赤峰二中高二6月第二次月考英语卷

2020-2021学年内蒙古赤峰二中高二6月第二次月考英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1．The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A．most families chose to go car-free B．the cost of a new car was too much C．he was hurt in a terrible car accident D．the traffic jam was unbearable for him 2．What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A．Disapproving. B．Supportive. C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned. 3．What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A．Argue against it. B．Take their advice. C．Leave it alone. D．Think it over. 4．What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．Life cannot go without a car. B．Life without a car is a little bit hard. C．His life gets improved without a car. D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression. Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.5．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.B．Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.C．Many people are beginning to learn street art.D．Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.6．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists. B．There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art. C．The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.D．All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.7．The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because ________.A．they caused arguments between peopleB．they were ugl y in someone’s eyesC．they were not painted under proper guidanceD．they didn’t express traditional culture8．Which is the best title of the passage?A．The Way to Become a Street ArtistB．What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?C．The History of Street Art MovementD．The Work of Street ArtistsIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a littleleeryof the security levels.Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get themwhat they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.9．The underlined word leery means _________.A．distrustful B．confidentC．hopeful D．disappointed10．Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.A．shopping freedom B．shopping convenienceC．Internet access D．Shopping security11．Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping? A．Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unrealB．Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenientC．Safe, convenient, fast, comfortableD．Reliable, popular, convenient, slow12．The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.A．Internet companiesB．advertising companiesC．courier companiesD．credit card companiesDear Ms. Wang,I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.Yours,Edward Johnson13．According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1?A．Critical thinking.B．5-paragraph essay.C．Sentences to paragraphing.D．Writing for TOEFL and CEE.14．We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course______.A．has aroused students’ interestB．enjoys a nationwide reputationC．has won a number of awardsD．benefitsanyone who takes it15．Why does Edward write this letter?A．To seek assistance from the administration.B．To inform the school of his course plans.C．To show his achievements in Latin.D．To apply for the teaching position.二、七选五Third-Culture KidsDid you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 16．About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.17．In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 18．While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for athird-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 19．She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.20．As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.A．Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.B．In general, they often reach excellent academic results.C．This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D．However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E.Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.F.Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G.Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.三、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。

高二下学期第二次(6月)月考英语试题

【全国百强校】内蒙古赤峰市第二中学2020-2021学年高二下学期第二次（6月）月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择When Jane put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” “Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?”The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with their peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.1．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A．express his views on homeschoolingB．explain what homeschooling isC．share his ways of teaching his childrenD．promote homeschooling2．What is the biggest advantage of homeschooled children?A．They will become braver.B．They can be more popular.C．They can socialize better.D．They will know how to arrange time.3．What do we know about homeschooled children?A．They don’t interact with their peers often.B．They have more spare time to play.C．They are restricted to certain activitiesD．They can’t gain enough knowledge.4．How does the passage mainly develop?A．By following the order of importance.B．By following the order of time.C．By making comparisons.D．By presenting data.A new study reported in a medical magazine concludes that even smokers who reach their 70s are likely to live longer if they stop smoking. Researchers say that they have got some of the strongest evidence (证据) that it's never too late to stop smoking.The study was based on a five-year follow-up of 7, 178 people over the age of 65 who lived in Boston, New Haven and Washington counties in Iowa. The report showed former smokers ran about the same risk of death from heart disease as those who never smoked. Women who stopped smoking faced about the same cancer-death risk as those who never smoked, but men who gave up smoking still had a 50% higher risk. The men's extra risk of cancer largely disappeared if they had not smoked for more than 20 years. The discovery does not agree with the widely-known belief that by the time smokers reach old age, their habit has already hurt them, and those who continue to live healthily are probably immune (有免疫力的) to the dangers of cigarettes.5．The conclusion of the new study is that _________.A．one can plan to give up smoking at any age for the sake (理由) of one's healthB．it's late to stop smoking when one is getting oldC．it's no use for young people stopping smokingD．smokers over the age of 70 are expected to live longer6．A former smoker is a person who _________.A．smokes once in a whileB．is going to give up smokingC．used to smokeD．smokes a lot7．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Women who stop smoking face about the same cancer-death risk as non-smokers. B．Men who stop smoking are facing the same risk of death from cancer as non-smokers. C．Women who stop smoking face about the same cancer-death risk as men who gave up smoking 20 years ago.D．Men who stop smoking face about the same risk of death from heart trouble as non-smokers.We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward.Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits (胳肢窝) or around their neck? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?But it isn’t just people from cultures that emphasize a reservedness in expressing physical intimacy(亲密) who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture —“more physically demonstrative(公开表露感情的) than Japan, where a bow is the all-purpose hello and goodbye, but less demonstrative than Latin or Eastern European cultures, where hugs are strong and can include a kiss on both cheeks”, Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities, hugs are given willy-nilly (不管愿意不愿意的）to friends, strangers and enemies alike; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England, on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.But not all are grateful to be hugged, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere.Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely close power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance (统治力）over those in their grasp.Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already em bracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.8．From the first four paragraphs, we can see that ___________.A．we Chinese people don’t know how to hugB．people from European countries often get puzzled about huggingC．people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness D．hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly9．The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________. A．Americans hold a “medium touch” cultureB．public figures know hugging functions well in publicC．she is much liked by American peopleD．hugs are forbidden in England10．“Power-hugging” in the last paragraph actually means that _________.A．hugs are only used sincerely by some people with powerB．hugging is powerful to bosses in USC．public figures sometimes use hugging just for a show of powerD．public figures can hug anyone in their grasp freely11．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Hugs, vital or not?B．Hugs, tricky affair?C．Hugs and public figuresD．Hugs and powerCheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport.A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. "Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滚) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear (特定活动的服装、设别）. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, andeven appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.12．What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Strength and cooperation.B．Lifts and tosses.C．Supporting teammates.D．Physical activities13．Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _________.A．explain the dangers of cheerleadingB．show their similarities with cheerleadersC．suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnasticsD．present the guidelines of gymnastic movements14．It can be learned from the passage that cheerleading ________A．is a good sport for all peopleB．lacks necessary guidelines to followC．is more than a form of entertainmentD．enjoys greater popularity than other sports15．This passage is written mainly toA．attract more girls to cheerleadingB．draw people's attention to cheerleadingC．call for more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sportD．criticize some Americans who do not think cheerleading as a sport二、七选五With the development of society，it is common that many people are rushing all the way and all day，tired and subhealthy．16．She described all the things she had to do—one was to make her bed—from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work．I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks．She was shocked，probably thinking I’d been brought up by wolves in a forest．17．Two weeks later she went into my office merrily．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what?”she said．“I don’t dry my dishes anymore，either．”18．One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect．This story shows an important principle about managing time：No one can do it a11．Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs(利弊权衡)．The problem is that many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves．19．So what is the solution? There’s an ea sy way．Decide what you want in your life，and put that first．On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．20．The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers．Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos．A．Most people do not take time to relax themselves．B．The point is to do something for yourself every day．C．A patient came to see me about the stress in her life．D．This woman had made two major breakthroughs．E.Above all，you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly．F.They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own．G.However，she went along with my idea．三、完形填空Somebody Loves YouOne miserable rainy night, a man named Mark decided to end his life.

AI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him2. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.3. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.4. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.BStreet art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others seethis art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.5. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.B. Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.B. There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.D. All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.7. The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because ________.A. they caused arguments between peopleB. they were ugly in someone’s eyesC. they were not painted under proper guidanceD. they didn’t express traditional culture8.Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Way to Become a Street ArtistB. What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?C. The History of Street Art MovementD. The Work of Street Artists CIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels. Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power! There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.9.The underlined word leery means _________.A. distrustfulB. confidentC. hopefulD. disappointed10. Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.A. shopping freedomB. shopping convenienceC. Internet accessD. Shopping security11.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe currentonline shopping?A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unrealB. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenientC. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortableD. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow12.The following companies are thought to have made contributions tothe popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.A. Internet companiesB. advertising companiesC. courier companiesD. credit card companiesDDear Ms. Wang,I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my compositioncourse and Latin course next year.I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin,they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.Yours,Edward Johnson13. According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1?A. Critical thinking.B. 5-paragraph essay.C. Sentences to paragraphing.D. Writing for TOEFL and CEE.14. We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course______.A. has aroused students’ interestB. enjoys a nationwide reputationC. has won a number of awardsD. benefits anyone who takes it15. Why does Edward write this letter?A. To seek assistance from the administration.B. To inform the school of his course plans.C. To show his achievements in Latin.D. To apply for the teaching position.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。
