河南省新野县第三高级中学2014-2015学年高二上学期第三次周考英语试题 Word版含答案

高二上学期第三次周考英语试题一、听力:(共20题,每小题1分,共20分)二、阅读理解(每小题1.5分,共22.5分)AWHEN cars drive in a circle,do they go around a “traffi c circle” or a“roundabout”?The first choice sounds strange to me,as we don't say it in Britain.but I've made Americans laugh for minutes at a time just by saying“roundabout”before.Irish author George Bernard Shaw is believed to have said.“England and America are two countries separated by the same language.”This idea might seem strange, but I think of it whenever I have this type of communication problem with my friends from across the Atlantic。

Often,American people simply don't know who I'm talking about.Many times I've had to explain who a British celebrity(名人)is,even though I assume (猜想)that they must be well-known outside of the UK.It's sometimes seems like most Americans don't know who UK Prime Minister David Cameron is,yet in the UK we know all about Paris Hilton and otherunimportant US celebrities—hardly fair!There are also many differences in meaning between words and idioms in our two forms of English.I once tried to break up an argument between two Americans by saying,“Come on,leave it out!”(meaning“stop doing or saying that”)but they just turned to me looking confused (困惑的),wondering what exactly they were supposed to“leave out”.At least the argument finished!Another unexpected problem with the two types of English happened to me when I was a teacher. I realized that sometimes when I wrote a word with a British spelling, such as“colour”with a“u”,my students would think that I had spelled it wrong and try to correct me.Having said a11 of that,I should say that I do really like the way American English sounds,and I've got nothing against people learning it—just “leave it out” if you're thinking of correcting my spelling!21.The author mentions the word“roundabout”in the first paragraph to .A.introduce some confusing English wordsB.show how self-centered Americans areC.give an example of the difference between American and British EnglishD.list a group of words that sounds strange to British people22.According to the third paragraph the author found that .A.American people are more interested in sports than in entertainmentB.American people do not know much about British celebritiesC.British people care 1ess about the life of celebrities than American peopleD.British celebrities are not very well known in other parts of the world23.The author's American friends were confused when he said “leave it out” because_________.A.the phrase doesn't exist in American EnglishB.the phrase does not have the same meaning in American EnglishC.they didn't expect the author to break up their argumentD.they were not sure of the author's attitude toward their argument24.The text mainly makes its points .A.by making contrasts B.by giving examplesC.by explaining famous quotes D.by making classificationsB“IT'S never too late to have a happy childhood,”the author Tom Robbins once said.I think it is never too late to need Dad.When we're little,Daddy is in charge of the world as we know it.Yes,I know we have a president,and some countries have kings or prime ministers,but they are really not in charge of the world.Dad knows everything.he can do anything,and he is always right.“Hey,Daddy! Where is Helsinki(芬兰首都赫尔辛基)?”I would ask when I was younger.My father would reply:“If you put things away where they belong,you would know where they are.”I said:“Hey,Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki.”He replied:“OK,let's get the encyclopedia(百科全书).”“Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?”He replied:“Yeah.Be home before midnight.”When I arrived home at 2:30 am,Dad was up waiting.we don't understand about love and anger when we're kids.Dads yell and shout,and we don't realize that it's because they care.We think it's because they have to be tough.Not this time.He said:“Thank God you're safe.Go to bed,we'll talk about this in the morning.”He always helped.“Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong.My teacher won't listen to me.”“I'll listen.What happened? Is that really what happened?”The next day, Dad was at my school,talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding.I could always count on Dad.Regardless of what he knows or doesn't know, Dad almost always cares,and can be counted on to be on our side.The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.“Hey, Dad! Do you have 50 bucks I could borrow?”He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it.He feels embarrassed when we pay him back.and he says:“You don't have to”, but we do because it is important to do the right thing.Dad taught us that.Dad tells you about traditions.“How is today different from other days?”Of course he knows, and knows how to explain.It is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything.He is the leader, and he is in charge of our world.The captain of the ship,out on the open sea.AnonymousTHE first day of school is always a chaotic(混乱的)time.For many students in the US,this year was even more so.It was all due to one extra school policy.They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(规范).According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown,Pennsylvania,students must wear short- or long-sleeve polo shirts and khaki or black pants.Skinny jeans,leggings(紧身裤),and open toe shoes are not allowed.Allentown schools are not alone.Overall,about 57 percent of American public schools nowhave a “strict dress code”,up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.Some students don't mind wearing a similar attire(服装)every day.“It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing field a little bit with the haves and have-nots,”longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.But others aren't happy, claiming (声称)that uniforms rob students of individuality(个性).While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US.however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition.School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(统治)of King Henry VIII in the l6th century.They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870.The UK Department of Education's website states:“The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can...contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone。

I 语言知识及运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I 1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and 2 it carefully.The form turned out to be a 3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their 5 and figured:no one would throw this out, 6 if it was current.Although the form had been blown here, where in the busy, 7 parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the 8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to 9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and 10 it by post. So I did it.On the weekend, a 11 couple called at my house and brought me a big 12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据) 13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone 15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.1. A. set B. glanced C. went D. broke2. A. saw B. read C. cleaned D. touched3. A. receipt B. report C. decision D. message4. A. plan B. development C. payment D. permission5. A. shirt B. clothes C. hat D. shoes6.

A. defeat B. avoid C. meet D. overcome第二节语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)The only survivor of an accident in which a ship was sunk at sea was washed up on a small island where nobody lived, He prayed excitedly that God would come to 16 rescue, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.17 (disappoint), he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after searching for food, he arrived home, only 18 (find) his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened-- everything was lost. He was filled 19 grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that 20 (approach) the island. 21 had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked 22 weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.It is easy to get 23 (discourage) when things are going bad. 24 we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that tells God to give love and kindness. For all the negative things 25 we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.Ⅱ.阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Pity, no!”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.26.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Does cups and saucers match well? B.Lady, are you rich?C.A story of Thanksgiving Day D.Don't forget how rich you are 27.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________.A.she had the same experience as them in the pastB.she wanted to sell old papers to themC.she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving partyD.she showed great pity and care on them28.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.B.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.C.The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.D.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. 29.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to_______.A.prove that she had understood what meant being richB.show that she was a kind-hearted ladyC.remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasD.leave room for readers to think about what being rich is30.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A.your social relationship B.how much money you have made C.what attitude you have had towards life D.the way you help othersB"No air-conditioning? How can you sleep?" a friend asks, horrified. I've just told him that my family has decided to shut the air-conditioner off, and cut our electric bill.On this first night of our cost-cutting adventure, it's only eighty-five degrees. We're not going to suffer, but the three kids grumble anyway."It's too hot to sleep." my thirteen-year-old daughter complains."I'm about to die from this heat." her brother says."Just try it tonight." I tell them. In truth, I'm too tired to argue for long. My face is sweaty. But I lie quietly, listening to the cricket (蟋蟀) choirs (合唱) outside. That reminds me of childhood.I think about grandma, who lived to ninety-two and was still in charge of my mother's garden until a few weeks ago before she died. And then I'm back there in her house and the summer heat of my childhood. I moved my pillow to the foot of my grandmother's bed, and angled my face toward the open window. I turned the pillow over, hunting for the cooler side.Grandma saw me struggling, "If you just watch for the breeze (light wind)," she said, "you'll cool off and fall asleep."She cranked up (拉起) the Venetian blinds (百叶窗). I stared at the white curtain, wishing it to move. Lying still in waiting, I suddenly noticed life outside the window, the bug (虫子) choruses, neighbors, porch-sitting late, speaking in soft words that comforted me."Mom, did you hear that?" my seven-year-old asks, "I think it's an owl (猫头鹰)family.""Probably." I tell him, "Just keep listening..."Without the noisy air-conditioner, the house is strangely peaceful, and the night noises seem close enough to touch. I hope I'm awake tonight, when the first breeze sneaks in.31. What does the underlined word "grumble" mean?A. lose temperB. shoutC. complainD. give up32. The author mentions her childhood to_____.A. convince the readers of the possibility of life without air-conditioningB. memorize her considerate and kind grandmotherC. suggest a way of handling a night without air-conditioningD. share her childhood experience of going without air-conditioning33. How did the author's grandmother help the author feel cooler?A. She persuaded the author to listen to the noise outside.B. She opened the windows and drew the curtains.C. She asked the author to observe the soft wind.D. She found the cooler side of pillow for the author.34. Finally, the children feel ________ without the air-conditioner on.A. unimaginableB. peacefulC. intolerableD. bored35. What is the best title of this passage?A. A childhood memoryB. Life with no air-conditionerC. A night full of memoryD. Waiting for the breezeCThe government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadlypunch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.36. The main idea of the first sentence in the passage is that ______.A. the command post is stationed with people all the time.B. the command post is crowded with people all the time.C. there are clocks around the command post.D. the clock in the command post is taken care of by the staff.37. The favorable breeding ground for the locust is ______.A. rich soil.B. wet landC. paces covered crops and vegetationD. the Red Sea38. People are alert at the threat of the locust because ______.A. the insects are likely to create another African famine.B. the insects may blacken the sky.C. the number of the insects increases drastically.D. the insects are gathering and moving in great speed.39. Which of the following is true?A. Once the pesticides are used, locust will die immediately.B. Relief efforts are proved most fruitful due to the effectiveness of certainpesticides.C. Dieldrin, the most effective locust killer, has been widely accepted in manycountries.D. Over 10 million acres of affected area will have been treated with locust-killing40. The purpose for affected nations to meet in Algiers on May 30 is ______.A. to devise anti-locust plans.B. to wipe out the swarms in two years.C. to call out for additional financial aid from other nations.D. to bring the insects under control before the plague gets worse.DWhen you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do?No two faces look exactly alike, making a human face as unique as a fingerprint. Genetics obviously play a major role---no two faces share the same DNA. But even in identical twins, who have the same DNA, there are still small differences in their appearances. So what is it that makes each face different?The answer lies in a small piece of you NDA called a "gene enhancer", according to a study published in the journal Science. "There are thousands of enhancers in the human genome (基因组)," study leader Axel Visel, a research with Berkeley Lab, US,told Discovery.According to Visel, these DNA pieces act like switches, turning genes on and off and therefore determining whether a certain facial feature develops in a fetus (胎儿) while it is still in the womb (子宫).What's interesting about gene enhancers is that they don't have to be found anywhere close to the genes they affect. They are able to control their targets from far away, which makes them even more influential.To test how powerful these special DNA pieces are in shaping the face, researchers deleted three of the gene enhancers in mice and compared them with normal mice at 8 weeks of age. The results showed that each enhancer deletion caused a distinct set of differences in the shape of the face---for example, causing an increase or decrease in facial length or width.In fact, scientists first noticed the existence of gene enhancer long ago, but they called them "junk DNA" back then because they didn't produce proteins and were thought to have no biological function. But now "it's increasingly clear that important functions are deeply and firmly fixed in this 'junk'," Visel told New Scientist.Understanding this may help scientists learn why and how things go wrong as a fetus develops, leading to facial defects (变异) such as cleft lips (唇腭裂). While some of these defects are caused by genetic mutations (变异), researchers want to study whether gene enhancers also play a role.41. The main purpose of the first paragraph is _______.A. to remind the readers that everyone's face is differentB. to arouse reader's interest to go further readingC. to encourage readers to look at himself in the mirrorD. to invite readers to answer a scientific question42. Which of the following, statement is True according to the passage?A. People with the same DNA have the same faces.B. A human's face is determined by his fingerprints.C. No identical twins have exactly the same appearance.D. It's unknown what makes each face different.43. According to the passage, gene enhancers________.A. are not found by scientist until recentlyB. play an important role in shaping one's faceC. can only affect the genes they are close toD. are not so powerful as the scientists expected44. Why are gene enhancer called as "junk DNA" ?A. Because they didn't produce proteins.B. Because they had no biological function.C. Because they looked like the "junks".D. Because they only affected the facial characteristics.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How facial feature develops in a fetus in the womb.B. Development of solving problems of facial birth defects.C. A new discovery of genetics is found by the journal Science.D. Gene enhancers determine facial characteristics.第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)首先请阅读下列警方通报查找人员的信息:goods.以下是相关事件及人物的描述,请把描述与相关插图及提示性文字匹配起来。

河北省承德市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期第三次月考英语试题

河北省承德市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships. The Alcindor decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skilful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a chewing gum, Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were aneasily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “But because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”1.Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because ______.A.he was young B.he was hardworkingC.he was tall for his age D.he was skillful at playing basketball 2.Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?A.Serious, popular and slow B.Tall, skillful and successful C.Kind, powerful and undefeated D.Well-known, strict and experienced3.Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up? A.Their teams refused to play against Power B.Their teams feared to see Alcindor C.Their teams would lose courage D.Their teams would lose interest 4.What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A.How Donohue protect Alcindor from the press B.How Alcindor disliked meeting reporterC.Why the press followed Alcindor closely D.Why the public wanted Alcindor badlyIn 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?"H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be u sed for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?5.The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moonpeople”____________.A.knew so much about the earth B.understood their languageC.lived in so many underground cities D.were ahead of them in space technology 6.What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?A.Discovering the moon’s inner space.B.Using the earth’s inner space. C.Meeting the “moon people” again.D.Traveling to outer space.7.What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A.Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B.Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. C.Gardens, car parks, power stations. D.Tunnels, gardens, offices.8.What would be the best title for the text?A.Alice Cities –- cities of the future B.Space travel with H. G. Wells C.Enjoy living underground D.Building down, not up二、完形填空From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch, I9 a note.

AThe Healthy Habits Survey(调查)shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush your teeth yesterday?Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Findings: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week .And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number doctors recommend.Step: We touch our faces around 3,000times a day ---often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?Findings: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.21. What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.22. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands ________.A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. eight times a day23. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.24. The text probably comes from ________.A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. an official documentBWhen I was 12, all I wanted was a signet(图章)ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母)carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any othergift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.25.The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".A.fashionable B.available C.practical D.renewable26.When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.A.13 years old B.15 years old C.26 years old D.28 years old27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer's family moved several times.B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.28.What would be the best title for the passage?A. My New RingB. Lost and FoundC. Lost and ReplacedD. An Expensive RingCAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmac roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.29. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.B.

Each of these deals replaces the morals(道德) of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals (道德)of the market (paying a price for faster service).Markets and queues — paying and waiting — are two different ways of allocating (分配)things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First com e, first served, have an egalitarian (平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets.The principle(原则) seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern (管理)all occasions(场合). If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it’s the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards(标准).Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply(应用). Think of the recorded message(录音信息)you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold (等候接听)when calling your bank: “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the moral s of the queue. It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.But don’t take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people’s calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incomi ng calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we allocate(分配) by merit(通过成绩), others by need,still others by chance. However, the tendency ofmarkets to replace queues, and other non-market waysof allocating goods is so common in modern life thatwe scarcely (几乎不)notice it anymore. It is strikingthat most of the paid queue-jumping schemes(计划)we’ve considered — at airports and amusement parks,in call centers, doctors’ offices, and national parks —are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered.33.According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come, first served”?A. Taking busesB. Buying housesC. Flying with an airlineD. Visiting amusement parks34.The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 shows ______.A. the necessity of patience in queuingB. the advantage of modern technologyC. the uncertainty of allocation principleD. the fairness of telephonic services35.The passage is meant to ______.A. justify(证明是正当的) paying for faster servicesB. discuss the morals of allocating thingsC. analyze the reason for standing in lineD. criticize the behavior of queue jumping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。
