AA poor boy was selling goods from one door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had almost no money, and he was hungry. So he decided to ask for a meal.But when a woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. To his s urprise, she gave him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he should pay her. She said, “You don’t have to pay me anything. Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He was deeply moved and was determined to help those in need. The boy’s name was Howard Kelly.Many years had passed. One day that woman became seriously ill. The local doctors could not help her. So they sent her to a big city where her rare disease would be studied by specialists. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for advice. When he entered her room in the hospital, he immediately spotted the woman. Howard Kelly was determined to do his best to help her.The struggle was long, but together they succeeded in the end. After some time the woman received a bill for her treatment. She was worried that the amount would be so large that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it. However, when she looked at the bill, she found wor ds on the side of the bill. They were, “Paid in full with a glass of milk.”1．The woman went to a big city because .A．she wanted the poor boy to return her milkB．a group of specialists wanted to perform an experiment on herC．no local doctors could cure her diseaseD．only Dr. Howard Kelly could cure her for free2．The underlined word “spotted” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “”.A．comforted B．recognized C．found D．appreciated3．What can we know about Dr. Howard Kelly according to the passage?A．He was wealthy and smart.

D．He was experienced and kind.BWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.“It shows what a mainstream the Intern et is becoming”, said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004.They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, and then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,”said Dan Hess, vice president of Comscore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable,” sai d Hess.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．More than half of the online shoppers were women in 2004.B．Internet users aged between 18 and 29 were women.C．People shopped online to buy better goods.D．The majority of Internet users bought holiday gifts online in 2004.5．From the passage we can infer that .A．men were responsible for earning moneyB．goods sold online are of higher qualityC．all shops have websites to help shoppers choose goodsD．women usually act as decision makers on home buying6．According to Dan Hess, shopping online .A．saves money B．wastes money C．saves time D．lacks safety7．What is the best title for this passage?A．Changes of Shopping Online B．Characteristics of Shopping OnlineC．Benefits of Shopping Online D．Problems of Shopping OnlineCTable manners are very different in every country. For example, when you are in England you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite. But when you are in Japan this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of drinking your soup. And also in Japan you don’t ha ve to worry about making a noise when you drink it. It just shows that you really like the food! But it is not the same in Britain, so you shouldn’t make a noise when eating there.In Britain, people don’t put their hands or arms on the table during the me al. But in Mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. In fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. In Arab countries, it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it!In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating. In Ukraine you should not start eating first; you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. You also have to say “please” and “thank you” every time you ask for and get something. If you don’t like some food, don’t make faces and don’t say: “Yuk! I hat e that!”The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.8．It is normal to lift the soup plate to your mouth in .A．Japan B．England C．Ukraine D．Mexico9．When you are eating in Japan, making a noise means that .A．you feel sick B．you enjoy the foodC．you dislike the food D．you are starving10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．It’s polite to keep your hands on the table in Britain.B．In Arab countries you should eat with your left hand.C．Speaking while eating is polite in some cultures.D．In Ukraine, guests had better eat after hosts.11．How is the text developed?A．By following time order. B．By explaining reasons.C．By raising examples. D．By following space order.DChocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:A happier heartScientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa（可可）— the main ingredient（成分）in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation（炎症）.Better blood pressureIf yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly.Muscle magicChocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout（锻炼）. In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.Better for your skinGerman researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister（滑润的）and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.Brain gainsIt sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain.12．Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A．Chocolate may benefit your heart.B．Chocolate may help to lower your blood pressure.C．People used to consider chocolate harmful.D．Chocolate may improve your IQ.13．According to the German researchers, chocolate can make the skin smoother because chocolate helps to .A．increase blood flow to the skin B．change and replace the cells of the skinC．reduce the wrinkles of the skin D．strengthen the top layer of the skin 14．What’s the meaning of “bite their tongues” in Paragraph 1?A．Stop thinking. B．Stop talking. C．Stop listening. D．Stop moving. 15．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Suggestions on Eating Chocolate B．More Chocolate, No DiseasesC．Chocolate, a Junk Food D．Chocolate, a Healthy Food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。

第Ｉ卷第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AThomas James Hanson will remember for a long time the snowstorm that hit the state of New York on November 22. The 47-year-old man from Niagara Falls was stuck in his car on the highway for almost eight days after his vehicle was accidentally pushed to the side of the road and covered with snow by workers employed to remove the snow from the streets.Driving on the Interstate Highway 190 during the worst of the snowstorm, Mr. Hanson decided to pull over his old 1993 V olkswagen Passat to the side of the road and wait for the weather conditions to improve. He remained motionless for approximately five hours before a snow plow arrived to clear the way. Unfortunately for the poor man, the driver of the gigantic snow removal vehicle did not see the small car, pushing it into the ditch and covering it with more than 2 meters of snow.Fortunately for the father of two children, the snow that was stacked over his vehicle was not very dense and allowed for enough fresh air to get through to enable him to survive. He was able to drink water that he obtained by melting snow with his lighter in an aluminum coffee cup, and he ate the few items of groceries he had bought before going home.“If I had known I would be stuck for eight days, I would have bought more than a jar of dill pickles(咸菜), a bottle of ketchup and two sticks of beef jerky(牛肉干),” said the survivor with a smile.Thomas Hanson had almost lost all hope of being rescued when his car was hit once again this morning by another snow plow, which revealed the poor man’s location.1. What caused Thomas James Hanson to fall into the ditch according to the passage?A. His drunk driving.B. The strong wind.C. The slippery road.D. A snow removal vehicle.2. What can we learn from the passage ?A. Mr. Hanson had bought some food before the accident.B. Mr. Hanson got rescued on November 22 eventually.C. Mr. Hanson had enough bottled water to drink in the car.D. Mr. Hanson was stuck in the car with his children.3. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Heavy Snowstorm Caused Disaster to New YorkB. Man Found Alive after Being Stuck 8 Days under SnowC. Thomas James Hanson — a Black Sheep in the SnowD. Wonderful Eight Days of Experience in the SnowBI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.”Worse, in Ma nhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout “Where are you going?” And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s, a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.4. What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Choice.B. Try.C. Style.D. Goal.5. What does the author dislike most about dinner parties in New York?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash.6. What is the aut hor’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?A. Easygoing.B. Self-centred.C. Generous.D. Conservative.7. What can we infer from the text?A. The author preferred dinner parties in London to those in New York.B. Mallery invited the author to a party.C. The difference between London and New York.D. The author hated dinner parties.CWhat will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively ashort period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.8. What does the passage mainly tells us?A. Man’s life will be different in the future.B. Future man will look quite different from us.C. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.D. The functions of ma n’s organs will change.9. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man’s h air is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.10. Why does man’s size of the forehead probably change?A. H e makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacity.B. His brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. He will use his brain more and more as time goes on.D. The other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.11. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.DSpeaking on the phone or being contacted online with the elderly was not enough to replace seeing them face-to-face — as these forms of contact did nothing to cut their depression risk. A recent study found that older people who saw their family or friends at least three times a week were half as likely to develop depression as those who did not.The study is thought to be the first to examine the impact of different types of social contact on the elderly. It also highlights just how important it is to spend time with our oldergeneration — among whom there is said to be an “epidemic” of loneliness in the UK.The scientists, from the University of Michigan in the US, looked at 11,000 adults aged 50 or over, examining how often they were contacted in person, by telephone and by email or social media. They then looked at the risk of depression two years later.Those who were visited three times a week had a 6.5 percent chance of developing depression, compared to an 11.5 percent risk in those who saw friends and family just once every few months. Frequent phone calls, written or email contact did nothing to reduce the risk of depression.The study also found that younger participants, aged 50 to 69, suffered less depression if they socialized with friends, while those aged over 70 benefited more from contact with family, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reports.Lead author Dr. Alan Teo, who is based at Oregon Health and Science University, said, “Research has long supported the idea that strong social bonds strengthen people’s mental health. But we found all forms of socialization aren’t equal. Phone calls and digital communication do not have the same power as face-to-face social interactions in helping to prevent depression.” Further study needs to be done to explain why.12. Seeing relatives regularly can help older people _____.A. avoid becoming depressedB. live a more independent lifeC. reduce the use of smart phonesD. strengthen their physical health13. What does the study advise the young to do?A. To email their parents often.B. To phone their parents daily.C. To visit their parents in person.D. To contact their parents online.14. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The effects of frequent phone calls on the mental health of the elderly.B. The effects of face-to-face contacts on the mental health of the elderly.C. Ways to help the elderly live more happily.D. The impact of social contact on the mental health of the elderly.15. In which part of a website can you probably find the text?A. Science.B. Technology.C. Fashion.D. Health.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。

ANearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.1．This article is most probably written for .A．people in general B．parentsC．enter tainers D．teenagers2．The main purpose of the article is to .A．explain how shyness developed B．suggest ways of dealing with shynessC．persuade readers that shyness is natural D．prove that shyness can be overcome 3．Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?A．Shy people never have any fun.B．Entertainers choose their work to fight shyness.C．The attempt to overcome shyness is always successful.D．The attempt to overcome shyness is always worthwhile.BYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should beat a 90° angle （角度） to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap （摆动）. It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.4．What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors’ strength. B．Wave levels.C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.5．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle. 6．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.7．Where can you probably find the text?A．In a sports magazine. B．In a science journal.C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.CCold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter （住所） as they are. Some owner s will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as mu ch as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelters. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.8．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A．They are often forgotten by their owners. B．They are used to living outdoors.C．They build their own shelters. D．They like to stay in warm places.9．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside. B．To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters. D．To keep them company.10．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may .A．run short of clean water B．dig deep holes for funC．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice.C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.DA farmer had some puppies to sell. He painted a sign advertising them on the edge of his yard.One day, a little boy came t o buy one of the puppies. With a whistle（口哨）, the farmer called, “Here,Dolly!” Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stood against the fence. His eyes danced with delight.As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, something wrong with its legs, doing its best to catch up.“I want that one,” the little boy said.The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so, he showed a steel brace（固定器）running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”12．How did the farmer advertise his puppies?A．He advertised them in the newspaper. B．He put up a sign in his yard.C．He showed them to his neighbors. D．He sent pictures to a magazine.13．The underlined words “four little balls of fur” refer to “ .”A．four toy balls B．four balls made of furC．four lovely dogs D．four puppies with no fur14．The boy chose the last dog because .A．they had something in common B．he didn’t have enough moneyC．it was the most lovely one D．the farmer wouldn’t sell other dogs15.

高中英语真题：中学2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usuallythey have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.21. Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.A. he can’t read or writeB. he doesn’t use his memory oftenC. his parents haven’t a good memoryD. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time22. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Your memory doesn’t work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to ha ve a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.23. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents’ faultC. his teachers’ faultD. his g randmother’s fault24. The writer of this passage wants to tell us ________.A. how to use our arms or legsB. how to read and writeC. how to have a good memoryD. how to learn from the peoplest July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there.Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.25. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. Bus.B. Ship.C. Train.D. Airplane.26. Why did they pay a fine?A. Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t w ait in line.C. Because they came to the airport lateD. Because their bag was overweight.27. What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A. The flight to Seattle.B. The breakfast in the airport.C. The visit to Mount Rainier.D. The discovery of a small stream.28. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlife.B. To take a shortcut to save time.C. To avoid the snowy road.D. To avoid being attacked by animals.3.In 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 themoon 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 "Channel", a tunnel 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 used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?29. The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people" .A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology30. 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.31. 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.32. 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 up4.On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13, 000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights.Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldn’t go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving（跳伞）. At first, I didn’t think I could, but I finally made it.I don’t think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yodel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldn’t jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us-- a special bond.I made a reservation（预定）to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didn’t feel any fear (I)just jumped! That was wonderful! Wonderful!There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world! First, I felt an awful acceleration（加速）and then I felt like I was lying in the air…like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds free fall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me.33. What would be best title of the passage?A. Overcoming fear of heights.B. Not daring to go up the Eiffel Tower.C. Jumping from a planeD. A special bond with friends34. By saying “I finally made it”, the author means _________.A. he gave up going skydiving in the endB. at last he succeeded in skydivingC. he made up his mind in the endD. he finally made a reservation35. Why did the author feel a lack of oxygen when he was landing on the ground?A. Because he was falling for about a minute.B. Because it was his first time to do so.C. Because people breathe in less air when falling freely.D. Because the wind was blowing him strongly.二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (适应) teens’ needs for more sleep. 36 However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 37 So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends.Exercise regularly. 38 Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime. Many sleep experts believe that exercising in late afternoon may actually help a person sleep.Avoid stimulants (刺激物). Don’t drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 pm. 39 And drinking alcohol in the evening can make a person restless and interrupt sleep.Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.Create the right sleeping environment. 40 So close your curtains(and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒温器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.A. Waking up at the same time every day also helps establish sleep patterns.B. People usually sleep best in a dark cool room.C. Light signals to the brain that it’s time to w ake up.D. Try not to exercise right before bedtime as it can make it harder for you to fall asleep.E. Nicotine is also a stimulant, so quitting smoking may help you sleep better.F. Naps too close to bedtime may keep you from falling asleep.G. Some schools have carried out later start times.2.A fifteenyearold boy named Justin Foster in Dover, New Hampsh ire went ____61____ (miss) two days ago. _____62___ was not until the lunchtime the next day that he was found missing.
