安阳市二中2015-2016学年上学期期中考试高二英语试题命题人：于莉审题人：苏冬梅第一部分：听力理解(共两节，满分30分)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）AWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.21. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming22. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by_____.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe23. The author made the gift by_____.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures24. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBBucks CountyIf ancient shops, covered bridges, and historic B&Bs are your idea of a charming way to spend a summer weekend, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is perfectly suitable for you. If you’ve got the kids with you, head to Sesame Place in Langhorne or take them to the Delaware River; be sure to have a bite at the River Hot Dog Man for a special lunch at an in-the-water picnic table.ChicagoChicago’s our kind of town all year long, but the city really comes into its own in the summer months, when visitors enjoy the city’s finest season. Besides the sweet jazz and blues clubs, more than 7,000 restaurants and world-class museums, the onset (开始) of summer means enjoying Chicago dogs at Wrigley Field, sunning yourself on man-made Oak Street beach, and enjoying concerts in Highland Park during the Ravinia Festival.JacksonLying close to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, this Wyoming town’s wild- -west reputation is growing for an international film festival, and a 500-seat performing arts center that opened in March.ReykjavikIf you’re always saying that there just aren’t enough hours in the day, head to Iceland this summer, when the sun shines at midnight —you’ll have no excuse but to get out and explore Reykjavik and its unique natural surroundings. Once you’ve arrived in this Nordic capital, spend the weekend discovering hot springs, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers (冰川).25. If you want to listen to music in summer, you should visit _____.A. ReykjavikB. Bucks CountyC. JacksonD. Chicago26. From this passage we can know that Jackson _____.A. is surrounded by Yellowstone National ParkB. is becoming a famous arts centerC. holds international book festival every yearD. belongs to one part of Grand Teton National Park27. If you are interested in mountain-climbing, you can travel to _____.A. JacksonB. ChicagoC. ReykjavikD. Bucks County28. We can know from this passage that _____.A. you’d see many dogs in JacksonB. it’s interesting to travel to Bucks County in winterC. you can travel to Reykjavik to visit some ancient shopsD. you can enjoy sunshine on the beach in summer in ChicagoＣA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were o ur age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I ---“Generation Y”—still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re h appy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to anther until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(傲慢自大的), “ impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children, we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--- starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.29. When the author walked through her parents’ house, she ______.A. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from lifeB. started to think about her own lifeC. realized she had to buy a houseD. wondered why her parents had settled down early30. What is the main “Generation gap” between the a uthor and her friends and their parents according to the article?A. Their attitude toward high technology.B. Their ways of making their way to the top.C. Their attitude towards responsibility.D. Their ways of gaining experience.31. Which of the following might the author agree with?A. It’s all right to try more before settling down.B. It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier.C. It involves too much effort to rise vertically.D. It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.32. What is the main theme of the article?A. The sudden realization of growing up.B. A comparison between lifestyles of generations.C. Criticisms of the young generation.D. The factors that have changed the young generation.DAt exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival,” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released(免除）from ray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”“Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”“A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. “There is a change in me.”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things,” he said. Then he l ooked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,” she added quietly.“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.33.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. AngryB. Calm.C. Nervous.D. Excited.34.We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Laura had once promised to marry PercivalB. Laura's father wished to end her marriageC. Percival had been married to Laura for two yearsD. Percival asked to be released from the marriage35.The passage is probably taken out of_________.A. a novelB. a reportC. a diaryD. an essay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。

Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night.

With the exception of using a small microwave oven (微波炉) to heat food, students are not permitted to cook in their rooms. Pet PolicyNo pets except fish are permitted in student rooms.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave —and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potentialpowers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,〞said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) — and stopped him cold.〞Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.5. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.6. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.7. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.8. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.CAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, andtold them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).〞According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.9. The passage begins with two questions to ______.A. introduce the main topicB. show t he author’s altitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information10. In transactive memory, people ______.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information11. What is the effect of the Internet accordin g to Sparrow’s research?A. Weare using memory differently.B. We arebecoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.DPapa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,〞he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.〞 He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.“Felice,〞he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.〞“I learned that the population of Nepal is ...〞Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . 〞he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.〞And the wholefamily went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.12. The underlined word “it〞in the second paragraph refers to “________〞A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment13. It can be learned from the passage that the author ________.A. enjoyed talking about newsB. knew very well about NepalC. felt regret about those wasted daysD. appreciated his father’s educational technique14. What is the greatest value of “dinner time〞 to the author?A. Continual learning.B. Showing talents.C. Family get-together.D. Winning Papa’s approval.15. The author’s father can be best described as________.A. an educator expert at training future teachersB. a parent insistent on his children’s educationC. a participant willing to share his knowledgeD. a teacher strict about everything his students did第二节〔共5小题，每一小题1.5分，总分为7.5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优选项。
大连市第24中学2015-2016学年度高二上期中考试英语试卷
2015-2016学年度上学期高二年级期中考试英语科试卷命题人：唐丽丽校对人：陈莹AWhy was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall NO talking was allowed Worst of all，a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day，a week，a year，or forever. Only the King’s letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪污腐败)of the government V oltaire，the famous French writer，spent a year there in 1717～1718，and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking，the Bastille stood for everything evil.

Afghanistan is rated the worst. The rankings appear in the new Global Age Watch Index. Help Age International published the index of 96 countries that are home to 790-million people 60 and older. Chief Executive Officer Toby Porter said, ―For t oo long, older people have been excluded(排除) from international and national development planning. We have a world which is ageing fast. And what the index does is to compare and rank countries from best to worst countries in the world to grow old,‖ he sai d. The Global Age Watch Index rates countries in four categories. ―Health, income, what we call capability - ability to carry on contributing employment. And then the final one about enabling environment - what do older people think about the environment t hat they live in.‖―The focus on the report this year is on pensions - on retirement income that older men and women can expect.‖ The index reports only one in four older people over 65 in low and middle income countries have any kind of retirement saving. Norway gets the highest ranking in the index. Rounding out the top 10 are Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Iceland, the United States, Japan and New Zealand. Afghanistan is at the bottom of the list following many years of conflict. There are 10 African countries on the index - all near the bottom. South Africa ranks the highest among them at 80. However, Porter said South Africa is doing some positive things. ―We’ve seen some very encouraging public statements from some senior politicians in South Africa that they recognize the contribution and the importance of supporting their older population. South Africa is one of the so-called BRICS nations - countries with strong emerging economies. Other members include Brazil, ranked 58 - Russia, ranked 65 - India, 69 and China, 48.25.

According to Toby Porter, he does not agree that______.A. older people have not been included in the developing plan for a long timeB. it makes little sense to rank countries from best to worst in the world to grow oldC. more attention should be paid to older people in a world that is ageing fastD. South Africa is doing lots of positive things to improve the older people’s conditions28. The purpose of The Global Age Watch Index is to______.A. warn governments of the severe environmental problems in their countriesB. tell the difference between developing countries and developed countriesC. get governments and people to care more about older people in the worldD. urge governments to take measures to stop political and military conflictsCWhen Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing．His mother took him to see the famous showman, P．T．Barnum, and thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show．He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together．He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb．He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes．When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads．To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money．By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich．He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five．Fortunately for Tom, Mr．Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well．One of the little people was Lavonia Warren, a school teacher．Tom was able to win her love, and they married．The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town．They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about, two thousand guests．Crowds filled the．Street of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding carriage．The．couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom's house in Connecticut．Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war．Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country sponsored(发起) Tom Thumb' s weddings．In these weddings, small boys and girls, all dressed up, went through marriage ceremony for fun．29．"the talk of the town" means _______．A．they were in the newspaperB．it was the most popular topicC．people spread bad rumors about itD．it was discussed in a city meeting30．What does the author think about Tom-Thumb’s wedding?A．Tom and Lavonia were stupid．B．People gave it too much of their attention.C．It was funny and ridiculous．D．It helped people cheer up in a dark time．31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A．Weddings always make people feel full of sunshine．B．People are always disappointed during wartime．C．Entertainment can serve an important purpose．D．People should be married even if they are small．DTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study．They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma．The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four．Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally．But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players．Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings．The study appeared last month in the journal Science．The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine.The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not．The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in othernations and found them lower where spanking was more common.32．Which could be the best title of the passage?A. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on BehaviorB. The Best Way to Influence Behavior.C. PunishmentD. Two Recent Studies.33．The under lined word ―spanked‖ probably means______.A. wonB. punishedC. testedD. praised 34．According to the passage, the researchers may agree the best way to influence behavior is______.A. rewarding good behaviorB. correcting bad behaviorC. punishing badly-behaved childrenD. praising well-behaved children35. The author develops the passage________.A. in order of timeB. in order of importanceC. by describing his experiencesD. by using quotations and statistics第二节As an old Spanish Proverb goes, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week". ___36___ I’d say, way too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.1. ___37___Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is–everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.2. The world is waiting on your giftI know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! ____38____.Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.3. ____39____You can dream about writing the great A merican play all you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to becomeequipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. ____40____.They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!第三部分第一节完形填空One day as I was doing her housework, I noticed my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in 41 a toy broom.

After the speeches, students walk to the front of the room to receive their diplomas from the headmaster. Students start preparing for graduation a long time 63 it happens. They order rings designed 64 (especial) for their class.65 tradition is to have their photographs taken. These photographs are used for the class yearbook, which is a 66 (print) book about all the students in the school. Students have special cards called 67 (announce) printed to send to friends and relatives to tell them about their graduation. The cards often include 68 invitation to the ceremony. If you receive it, you should send a present 69 money to the graduate. A few weeks before the ceremony, the students 70 (measure) for the cap that they will wear at the ceremony. After the ceremony, families usually have graduation parties for friends and relatives. It’s a day and a night that high school seniors remember for a long time.第四部分写作第一节短文改错As is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tiring.There are many reasons about this. First of all, some of the students complained that they have too much homework, results in less time to take exercise. Besides, some of whom think that it is very difficult for them to keep doing exercise, so it is a very hard thing.Because lack of physical activities, many students are in a poor health.
