As we walk ed up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and m edical equipment.

Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from ea ting crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of s etting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the b ees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burs t into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry b ees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reser ve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only o ne group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported th at all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hi de under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall inst ead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, th e animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avo id the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.

高中英语真题:学2013-2014学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题（考试时间120分钟，满分150分）一．阅读理解（共两节，满分60分，每小题3分）第一节（共15小题，满分45分）AMistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a par t of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. W hen you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, y ou are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it . Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have rea ched 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a re ward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever re ason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually hap piness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new motherhappiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness fo r a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So ha ppiness for you is really something simple that you want for you rself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every g iven situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means tryin g harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Do n’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.1.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifeD. human beings m ake mistakes easily2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missi ng your points.3. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. examplesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories4. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedBI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about t he power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple trut nguage is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in , I’ve b een giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speak s. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me t hat I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”, as if i t were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for e xample. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, in cluding people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my moth er’s“limited” English limited my perception of her. I was asham ed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the qualit y of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at resta urants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did no t hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into t oday, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term mi ght be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her tran slation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch w hat language ability tests can never show:her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the n ature of her thoughts.5. The author used to think of her mother’s English as .A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author’s mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.7. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is .A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The change of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.CThe Amazing Kids!

PenPals Program was s et up for the kids who ______.A. suffered from the hurricanesB. were willing to make pen palsC. were good at writing lettersD. wanted to help hurricane survivorsDCities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the ai r.Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 201 5, according to the latest plan released by the State Council.Besides the existing pollution control program for SO2, region al emission caps (区域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three k ey air polluting areas— the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, accordin g to the plan.“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent yea rs and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Mo nday.“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because poll utants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Scien ces.“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a cer tain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent yea rs.”These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 perce nt of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according t o official figures.Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km com pared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution c ontrol programs, according to the plan.The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, w hich will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, whic h only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.12. It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city b ecause .A. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in re cent yearsB. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s h ealthC. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areasD. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities13. Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 k m in the early 1960s, the visibility there nowadays is . A. 123 to 115 km B. 137 to 145 kmC. 123 to 145 kmD. 115 to 137 km14..
