His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place.Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing (耕) his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (替身) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused.In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it, we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of sociable values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of the family history in his ancestral place (祖籍)”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when herchildren leave to find work in the city. Instead, her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbour and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. Besides, his mission to find the “peace of wild things” is easily completed by spending a few hours in Port William.4．Why did Mr Berry’s friends regard him as mad?A．He moved to live in the countryside.B．He turned down Offerman’s request.C．He wrote most of his novels by hand.D．He gave up his career as a writer. 5．What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply?A．The challenges of farming in old days.B．The harmony between man and nature.C．The real benefits of large agri-businesses.D．The hard lives of his forebears inKentucky.6．What do Catlett and Coulter have in common?A．Both admire harvesting machines.B．Both are from the same novel.C．Both reconnect with the city.D．Both find sociable values again. 7．What would be the best title for the text?A．Wendell Berry: adaptation to new environments B．Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farmingC．Wendell Berry: journey to his shining rural tales D．Wendell Berry: a youngproductive writerZoologists track animals using global-positioning-system(GPS)tags(标签) which then return their data via satellite. Marine(海洋的)biologists have a harder time of it, though, because radio signals can’t pass through seawater. This makes it impossible either to receive GPS signals or to send any data collected back to base.That does not stop people tagging sea creatures. Data collected and stored in a tag can be sent to a satellite in bursts if the species in question is one that comes to the surface from time to time. A tag may also be recovered if the animal carrying it is caught by a fishing boat. Fisherfolk are typically paid a few hundred dollars per tag returned to its home laboratory.None of these methods, though, keeps accurate track of where the animal carrying thetag has been. For these and other reasons, it would therefore be useful to have a marine equivalent of GPS. And one is now being employed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, hopes to fill the seas with sonic beacons(声波信标) that will play the role of GPS satellites.The sea is divided into distinct layers that have different temperatures. During the Second World War, American scientists showed that some of these layers act as sonic waveguides. They called them “sound fixing and ranging” (sofar) channels. Sound sent out in one of these channels echoes(回响) between the layers above and below, thus staying in the channel. Thus constrained(被约束)，a sound wave can travel hundreds of kilometers before it becomes too weak to detect.The sofar transmitters from Woods Hole are usually at an appropriate depth for the channel concerned. Every 12 hours they broadcast a 32-second-long location signal known as a pong. Pongs are so called because they are similar to sonar “pings”, but of lower frequency. In typical conditions a pong can be picked up 1,000 km away. By listening to the pongs from several beacons a receiver can calculate its location. Existing receivers for the two sofar transmitters are currently carried on free-floating instrument packs. But the plan is to have two more transmitters this year, and more in future years.8．Which sea creatures can GPS tags be applied to?A．Those feeding on other sea animals.B．Those following fishing boats constantly.C．Those coming out of the sea sometimes.D．Those swimming deep under the water.9．Why do sofar channels function?A．The echoes among them are weak.B．The water has a high temperature over there.C．The layers among them are quite similar.D．The sound remains there and stays strong for a while.10．What makes pings different from pongs?A．Pings are of higher frequency.B．Pings can travel faster than pongs.C．Pings can be received 1,000 km away.D．Pings are broadcasted every 32 seconds.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Tags for sea creaturesB．“GPS” for the oceansC．Strange deep sea creaturesD．Data from distant satellites“This is the next revolution in flying,” says Mark Henning, European managing director of AutoFlight, a Chinese firm. Mr Henning is not alone in betting that electric vertical (垂直的) take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have a bright future. The idea is that, being simpler, cheaper, greener and quieter than traditional helicopters (直升机), eVTOLs will be well suited to operate short-range passenger services across large urban areas, such as flying people between airports and city centres.Now, Mr Henning is setting up an operation at Augsburg Airport in Germany to further the development of Prosperity I, the company’s air taxi. Prosperity I can seat three passengers and a pilot. It is a hybrid between a helicopter and a fixed-wing plane. It takes off and lands vertically, using multiple rotors (旋翼), but these are switched off when it is in full flight. At that point a “pusher” propeller (螺旋桨) at the back takes over, to provide forward drive, and thus lift via the wings. This arrangement makes better use of the aircraft’s battery, giving Prosperity I a range of some 250 km.A model will be test-flown in Germany in order to obtain what is known as a type certificate from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This signifies the airworthiness of a new aircraft. Although AutoFlight is also seeking certification in China, the company thinks the addition of European approval will help speed the machine’s entry into service in other markets, too. It hopes to complete the approval process by 2025.There is uncertainty about how the rules will differ from place to place. Nonetheless, enough regulatory progress has been made. In America, Joby Aviation hopes next year to become the first to obtain a type certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In Europe, Volocopter, a German firm, hopes to provide air-taxi services for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.It is not only new firms which are getting into the business. Airbus is developing ideas for eVTOLs. So is Boeing. With so much effort and money going into this new form of air travel, some of these birds will surely be flying soon.12．Which of the following can replace the underline word “hybrid” in Paragraph 2?A．Symbol.B．Mixture.C．Concept.D．Application. 13．What is special about Prosperity I?A．It has no wings or rotors.B．It can hold three people at most.C．It is energy-efficient during its flight.D．It has a top speed of 250 km per hour on land.14．What is AutoFlight trying to do for Prosperity I?A．Obtain a type certificate from the FAA．B．Have it tested across the sky of America.C．Tailor a set of rules as soon as possible.D．Get it approved by European authorities.15．What is the author’s attitude towards eVTOLs?A．Optimistic.B．Concerned.C．Uncertain.D．Tolerant.Have you ever heard of underwater football? Underwater football has been called one ofand can be played under both indoor and outdoor water surfaces. Underwater football shares some common rules and play elements with other underwater sports like underwater hockey. As with those games, it is played in the deep end of a swimming pool with snorkeling(浮潜)equipment.The goal of the game is to score a point by placing a ball on the opponents’ side of the pool. The ball can only be possessed by players who completely stay underwater holding their breath. 17Just like on land, underwater football is a game of control and possession. 18 . When opposing players are in your space, you need to be able to recognize it quickly and take appropriate action.19 . Each team tries to get their ball into one end zone by either passing or running through underwater obstacles. The first team to reach the endpoint wins! Just five players are on the court at one time, despite each team having 13 players.To win the ball back or keep it away from your opponents, you must use all your strength and abilities underwater. 20 .A．To play it you need snorkeling equipment.B．Underwater football involves two teams of five players.C．The equipment necessary for underwater football isn’t very complex.D．The ball must be passed or dropped when players go to the surface for air.E．It is a sport that combines the fundamentals of football with the excitement of diving.F．To play well, you need to master the basics of spacial awareness and decision-making.G．All these skills require practice if you want to become an expert at this exciting sport.二、完形填空You witness a man uses abusive (辱骂的) language towards his mother in a grocery22．A．Hopefully B．Thankfully C．Undoubtedly D．Unfortunately 23．A．knocked B．faced C．suffered D．blocked 24．A．at risk B．in anger C．at a loss D．in a hurry 25．A．all B．either C．both D．neither 26．A．talent B．gift C．ability D．habit 27．A．adopting B．adapting C．replacing D．rebuilding 28．A．artificial B．beneficial C．impossible D．improper 29．A．firmly B．indirectly C．severely D．confidently 30．A．topic B．conversation C．atmosphere D．worry 31．A．cause B．option C．reality D．effect 32．A．blame B．fund C．inform D．post 33．A．help B．confirm C．escape D．delay 34．A．tip B．trick C．cheat D．warning 35．A．careful B．nervous C．scared D．worried三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

And when the tree heard it, it rustled all over, and sent back word to the leaf, “Do not be afraid; hold on tightly, and you shall not go till you want to.”And so the leaf stopped sighing, but went on nestling and singing. Every time the tree shook itself and stirred up all its leaves, the branches shook themselves, and the little twig shook itself, and the little leaf danced up and down merrily, as if nothing could ever pull it off.And so it grew all summer long until October.And when the bright days of autumn came, the little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, and some scarlet, and some mixed with both colors.Then it asked the tree what it meant. And the tree said, “All these leaves are getting ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy.”Then the little leaf began to want to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it, and when it was very bright, it saw that the branches of the tree had no color in them, and so the leaf said, “Oh branches, why are you lead color and we golden?”“We must keep on our work clothes, for our life is not done; but your clothes are for holiday...”Just then a little puff of wind came, and the leaf let go without thinking of it, and thewind took it up, and turned it over and over, and whirled it like a spark of fire in the air, and then it fell gently down under the fence among hundreds of other leaves, and began to dream—a dream so beautiful that perhaps it will last forever.4．Why was the little leaf anxious?A．It would lose the twig soon.B．It would be blown off by the wind.C．It couldn’t nestle on the tree.D．It would fly away from the tree. 5．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A．The tree taught the leaf to be merry.B．The branches are the nest of the leaf.C．The tree was strong to fight against the wind.D．The little leaf conquered its fear and anxiety.6．What does the underlined sentence probably mean in the passage?A．The leaf was changing its color for holiday.B．The branches were of tired of the leaf.C．The leaf was on the way to falling off.D．The branches were jealous of the leaf. 7．Which saying can best explain the philosophy of this passage?A．Every dark cloud has a silver lining.B．Everything on earth goes with the law of nature.C．The grass is always greener on the other side.D．Life is of high value but freedom is more precious.When you think of the new place for growing food, you might think of Mars. But one Italian family believes one possible place is right here on the Earth: the ocean.Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater cultivation system of terrestrial (陆地的) plants. Located off the coast of Noli, Italy, it consists of several greenhouses called biospheres (生物圈), attached to the seafloor. “The mission of it is to change agriculture, to give it an added possibility for growing produce in the ocean,” says co-founder Luca Gamberini.His father Sergio Gamberini came up with the idea by combining his two passions—diving and gardening. In 2012, the project began with planting basil in a balloon underwater. Now Nemo’s Garden is growing strong.With the global population expected to reach roughly 10 billion by 2050, the UN estimates food production will need to increase up to 60% to feed the population.“We have a limited amount of resources, and our current way of harvesting thoseresources is unsustainable,” Luca says, “and we believe that underwater gives us some advantages over traditional agriculture.Floating six to ten meters underwater, plants in Nemo’s Garden are separated from any outside pathogens (病菌) and pests. Also, the relatively steady temperature of the ocean water is an ideal environment for plant life. Besides, Nemo’s Garden uses hydroponics—a technique that uses water-based nutrients instead of soil. Sunlight does reach the plants, but growing lights are used when needed. “Also, there is little interaction with the marine environment and related ecosystems, which means no harm is caused to marine life,” adds Luca.Everything is monitored on land through cameras and sensors, and settings can be adjusted remotely. When it’s time to harvest, a diver will cut the vegetation, place Different studies have been conducted on Nemo’s Garden. A 2020 study concluded that basil from the garden had a higher essential oil concentration and contained more antioxidants (抗氧化剂).The team at Nemo’s Garden has plans for even bigger biospheres in the future, as well as other locations. Luca believes the future of Nemo’s Garden will be mostly along the coastlines where communities could benefit from the added space it offers.8．What does the underlined word ”it“ in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The biosphere.B．The seafloor.C．Agriculture.D．Nemo’s Garden. 9．Why is the population issue mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To estimate the current situation of food production.B．To address the expansion of global population.C．To add some background information on the project.D．To point out some problems in traditional agriculture.10．How does Luca feel about Nemo’s Garden?A．Cost-effective.B．Energy-saving.C．Multi-functional.D．Eco-friendly.11．Which of the following is the limitation of Nemo’s Garden?A．Its plants are low in nutritious value.B．Its biospheres are not large enough.C．Its biospheres completely rely on antioxidants.D．Its plants are too weak to fight pathogens.Professionals use the word “amateur” as a disapproving term for those who lack formal training and qualifications. I think such prejudice is a mistake. One day that amateur might just create a new industry.Typical amateurs are free to invent as they please, try new ideas, fail, and get up and do it all again—but better. As Marshall McLuhan, the media theorist, said: “Amateurs can afford to lose.” They are self-improvers, chasing a dream rather than a laborious, life-long career within a group. Amateurs can do it part-time, for charity or for fun.Thanks to the Internet, we can all be competent amateurs at almost everything. Now everyone can DIY and experiment—from blogging to film-making to online advice shops. The mysteries, terms and exclusiveness of the self-satisfied old crafts are revealed online for all to see. Besides, the world is vastly more complex now, but that means even the most respected professional needs expert help. The end of the age of authority means we no longer hold elites (精英) such as judges and bankers in such awe. For centuries the club-like professional bodies have taken society in their control, a form of freemasonry (互助协会) for the well-educated and connected.Charles Leadbeater has written persuasively about the importance of serious amateurs, or “professional amateurs”, who have helped introduce innovations to the mainstream. These passionate amateurs cooperate to give disruptive ideas (颠覆性的观点) possibility. Their constructive ideas contribute to the improvement of mountain bikes. Social enterprises are dominated by enthusiastic amateurs whose priority is to improve the world rather than bill clients. Among the greatest cooperative achievements of the Internet Age have been Wikipedia and Linux. It is surprising there haven’t been more crowded-sourced successes. Perhaps business projects have been too chaotic and lacked the leadership necessary for any complicated project to come to fruition.Nevertheless, I show my admirations for the armies of gifted amateurs. I don’t deny the importance of education, but I place greater emphasis on results and originality, which are the highlights of amateurism.12．The advantages of amateurs are listed below except ______.A．they enjoy more freedom in creation.B．they can afford the cost of failure.C．they are the fruit of the Internet Age.D．they have a wide range of choices. 13．What can be seen in Paragraph 3?A．The influence of professionals are being challenged.B．Public opinion is influenced by the small group of elites.C．Only the competent amateurs can make crafts revealed.D．Human society has been governed by well-educated groups.14．How does the author present his point in Paragraph 4?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By explaining causes.D．By giving examples.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．The Evolution of Amateurism B．A New Industrial RevolutionC．A Salute to the Amateur D．The End of Authority AgeHow to prepare for a new semesterIf you’re a newbie in your final year, it’s a good idea to go into the new semester with a plan. Why? 16 . If you start your semester disorganized and out of your depth, it will be challenging to get a grip on things once classes and other commitments pour in.17Realistically, you’d need little more than a pen and paper to take notes in class. However, your courses may require special supplies. Make sure you make a list and gather your essentials first. Then you can let your creative juices flow. Markers, glitter pens, sticky notes—it’s up to you.Set up your study spaceA clean, well-organized, and non-distracting workspace is essential for productivity. Set up your study space to be most beneficial to you. 18When choosing your study space, make sure it has enough natural light, or a good light source. Make an estimate of how much surface area you’ll need and organize your space accordingly. You’ll be spending a good part of your week in your study space so make it as comfortable and functional as possible.Know your class schedule19 . Check who your teachers are and find out what they expect from you regarding class participation, attendance, absence, late assignments, etc. Important things to include in your class schedule: course title, teacher, time, location.From the above we can know that there’s a lot that goes into preparing well for a new semester. 20 , and won’t get caught off guard by important dates, difficult lectures orlong assignments.A．Prepare yourself wellB．Gather your suppliesC．You should check your class schedule to see your tutors’ namesD．Besides, think about what worked during your previous semester and what didn’t E．The first few days back at school will set the tone for the rest of the semesterF．It’s important to be well prepared so that you can manage your time wellG．You must keep your class schedule somewhere easily accessible二、完形填空Chris Alsgree, an undergraduate at Princeton University, was recently wondering:22．A．Consequently B．Undoubtedly C．Apparently D．Additionally 23．A．devotion B．commitment C．enthusiasm D．sympathy 24．A．ignored B．noticed C．overlooked D．admitted 25．A．capable of B．content with C．responsible for D．bored with 26．A．lining B．standing C．flooding D．crowding 27．A．appointments B．encounters C．discussions D．interviews 28．A．greeting B．teaching C．guiding D．caring 29．A．rang B．stuck C．arose D．sought 30．A．turned out B．figured out C．worked out D．handed out 31．A．small B．big C．happy D．sad 32．A．picked B．forced C．awarded D．ordered 33．A．encouragement B．energy C．spirit D．creativity 34．A．ambitious B．reliable C．cautious D．precious 35．A．convinced B．pretended C．declared D．required三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

重庆高一高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
重庆高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras that my folks couldn’t really afford, I lost my wallet.My old car needed putting gas in the back. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杆), and droveoff . I hadn’t even had time to miss it when our phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my wallet and to my surprise, I didn’t find it. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车)and the ramp(斜坡)going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck , though. I didn’t want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. so I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said “Just pass it on”. I said I would be cert ain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance(状况) and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.【1】What did the man ask the writer to do?A．He asked the writer to be carefulB．He asked the writer to pass his kindness onC．He asked the writer to repay his kindnessD．He asked the writer to be honest【2】What can we learn from the man’s action?A．Where there is a will, there’s a wayB．A friend in need is a friend indeedC．Good is rewarded with goodD．Help others, but not ask for anything【3】Which of the following can best describe the man who picked up the writer’s wallet?A．Loyal B．Honest C．Noble D．Promising2.Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Haveyou noticed it tastes different?Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire(获得) off taste. Many peoplethink that this is because of microorganisms. But that's not what makes old watertaste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water startsto go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pHand giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there ismore of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share theglass with another mouth as well. But assuming(假设) you use a fresh glass every few days, youprobably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, andespecially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step awayfrom the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University WaterInstitute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to makeplastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains.BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease tocancer.Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed orrefilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable waterbottles instead.【1】Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of______ .A．BPA B．carbon dioxideC．the glass D．the microorganism【2】According to Paragragh 2 , tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours____.A．is still safe to drink B．tastes betterC．contains few microorganisms D．is most likely undrinkable【3】What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?A．Throw them away.B．Clean them and use them again.C．Use them after they cool down.D．Refill them with fresh water.【4】Which of the following is true about BPAA．It is safe for people to use.B．It is a kind of new material.C．It can cause great harm to people.D．It is the main material to make plastic.3.It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most comment ators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that” To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to hi m, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.【1】The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to sho w that________.A．most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC．the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD．English conversations usually start with the weather【2】What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A．A social trend.B．An emotional state.C．A historical concept.D．An unknown phenomenon.【3】According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB．there is nothing special about the English weather]C．the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty【4】What is the author’s ma in purpose of writing the passage?A．To explain what English weather-speak is about.B．To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.4.Summer Surfing USA15-Day Tour for Beach LoversVisit these beautiful Southern California surfing beachesEl Capitan in Santa Barbara, Surf Riders in Malibu, the Wedge at Newport Beach, Doheny at Dana Point.

They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.We all know that it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking on the phones. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something including their secrets. Generally speaking, these things are difficult to say to their family members.However, some parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends or making friends. I think such parents are not right. I think parents shouldn’t prevent teenagers from making friends.Have you ever thought of the following questions?Do you have a few good friends or many good friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?Do your parents often stop you from meeting your friends?What do you do when your parents don’t let you make friends with others?Your answers are welcome.【1】When teenagers have something difficult to say to their parents, they usually______.A．stay alone at homeB．fight with their parentsC．discuss it with their friendsD．go to their brothers and sisters for help.【2】The underlined sentence “Your answers are welcome.” in the last paragraph means “_________”. A．You are welcome to discuss the questions with us.B．We’ve got no idea, so your answers are welcome.C．Your answers are always right.D．You can give us all the right answers.【3】Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?A．Parents should choose friends for their children.B．Children should choose everything they like.C．Parents should understand their children better.D．Teenagers should only go to their friends for help.【4】Why is it important for teenagers to have some good friends? Because _______.A．they have no friends at home.B．the friends can help each other when they are beaten.C．they are easy to have a talk together.D．the parents don’t like to communicate with them.2.Sharks have been swimming in the ocean for millions of years. They were on Earth even before dinosaurs! At the top of the world’s ocean’s food chain, sharks help keep the population of other ocean animals in balance. A large drop in the number of sharks can cause serious problems for all ocean animals. Saving sharks makes sense!Many people are afraid of sharks. But most sharks are harmless. Only a small percentage of sharks are known to attack humans. It adapt(适应) well to new habitats and eat whatever is available. However, today, sharks are in trouble. Nearly one-third of the 400 shark species are in danger of extinction, largely due to over-fishing. Each year, tens of millions of sharks are caught and killed just for their fins(鳍). The fins are used to make shark fin soup.Humane Society International (HSI) joined with the Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program and Beijing Zoo to protect sharks. An exhibit at the zoo, “the Price Behind the Taste-----Protect Sharks. Don’t Eat Shark Fins”, was designed to tell people that shark finning is cruel and unnecessary. It’s hoped that the activity will help put an end to the practice.Shark fin soup is also eaten in the United States. In fact, the numbers of some shark species in US waters have dropped 90 percent in the last 30 years. To slow the fall, laws against the sale of shark fins have been passed in several states, including Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and California.【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．Ocean animals are at the top of the food chain.B．Sharks play an important role in the oceanC．Sharks are an old species in the ocean.D．Sharks are being caught and killed.【2】According to paragraph 2, sharks are in trouble because ______.A．they often attack humans.B．their food is being polluted.C．they are being caught for food.D．their habitat is being destroyed.【3】The underlined part “the practice” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.A．shark finning B．shark protectionC．the program of HIS D．the exhibit at Beijing Zoo【4】What do we know from the text?A．There are 400 shark species in the United States.B．It’s illegal to eat shark fin soup in the United States.C．Most sharks are not interested in a human for dinner.D．Sharks are very particular about their habitats and food3.HOTEL INFORMATIONBaymont Inn uderdaleLowest Prices 110% GuaranteedRoom Information：Rooms are equipped with Double, Queen , or King bed (s) , smoking or non-smoking based on location and availability.

And while more and more French people prefer fast-food chains these days or wolf down a sandwich at their desk, they still spend more than two hour’s a day eating.That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican, who spends just an hour a day on food，the OECD’s “Society at a Glance” report on work, health and leisure(休闲) in Asia, Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese manage to spend close to 2 hours a day eating and drinking, placing them third behind New Zealanders．Despite the limited time, Americans spend eating each day---about an hour and a quarter---U.S．obesity(肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD. The Japanese like to spend their rare free time watching TV or listening to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at leisure，just over a quarter of their day，while at the low end，Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun．The OECD has 30 members. The survey covers only the countries for which proper figures were available. 【1】As to eating time，the CORRECT order is______.A．The French > New Zealanders> Japanese> MexicansB．Mexicans> The Japanese > New Zealanders > The FrenchC．The French > The Japanese > New Zealanders > MexicansD．New Zealanders > The Japanese >Mexicans> The French【2】In the 30 members of OECD，U.S ranks first at______A．sleeping time B．leisureC．eating time D．obesity-rates【3】The main purpose of the text is______．A．to show which country spends the least time on sleepingB．to tell us the French is leisure-loving gourmetsC．to show a survey about the time of leisure，sleeping，eating in some countriesD．to make a comparison to find out the best living styles of OECD countries【4】How does the author develop the whole text ?A．By analysing cause and effect.B．By making comparisons.C．By making predictions.D．By following the time order.5.（This selection was originally published in 1992. Pluto （冥王星） is no longer classified as a planet.）Pluto is in many ways the strangest of the planets. It is small and has a large moon（called Charon）. Its orbit （轨道） is unusual, which may cause it to have seasons in the sense that when it is close to the sun, the liquid （液体）methane（甲烷）on its surface boils to form a kind of atmospheric haze（烟雾）. When the planet moves farther away from the sun, it starts to snow solid（固体） methane.Pluto is not dark. Despite its great distance from the sun, the surface of Pluto is probably as bright as a moonlit night on Earth. The reason is all that methane, which is as white as newly fallen snow.The discovery of Pluto was more accident than design. The American astronomer Percival Lowell had predicted the existence of a ninth planet（he called it Planet X）based on what he took to be irregularities in the orbit of Neptune. Today astronomers argue that these "irregularities" weren't real, but the result of instrumental error. Nevertheless, Lowell produced predictions about where Planet X ought to be（although, to be honest, the predictions changed occasionally when he redid the calculations）.In any case, in 1930 Clyde Tombaugh, doing a systemic sky survey that would have found the planet no matter where it was, discovered the planet we now call Pluto. By coincidence, its position was pretty close to where Lowell's last prediction said it should be. Was it just luck? We'll never know．【1】On Pluto's surface, liquid methane boils to form an atmospheric haze, which would be most similar to ____. A．light B． darknessC．liquid D．steam（水蒸气）【2】What effect is produced by including the question "Was it just luck?" at the end of the text?A．The question encourages the reader to think about why Pluto is a strange planet．B．The question encourages the reader to think about how planets are discovered．C．The question suggests that all discoveries are luck, not just design．D．The question suggests that other planets were found in different ways．【3】What contributes to the brightness of Pluto?A．Methane on its surface.B．Its great distance from the sun.C．Light from its moon, Charon.D．Its closeness to the sun.【4】The text mainly wants to ____．A．give a brief introduction of PlutoB．talk about the discovery of PlutoC．prove the exact position of PlutoD．describe the strangeness of Pluto四、其他【1】White has always been a s_________of purity in western cultures.【2】He made every e_________to prevent his son from playing computer games.【3】After g____________from college , she went to a small village.【4】Don’t t_______ that machine!

AIt was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court.Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China. For those who don’t, it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:Dear son,The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn’t want to bathe. When you see my knowing little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄). I taught you how to do so many things: to eat food, to dress well, to confront life...When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not becomenervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my tired legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I did when you gave your first step. And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you. Please be next to me, try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.I love you, son.21.

Ever since the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations，human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far，we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying to progress.The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word，if we want to explore space more，the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money，it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so，but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Th ough it is still extremely expensive，it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone's effort and will benefit everyone.But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA，it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world，it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance，and try to find a balance in all these issues.28. From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowB. many experiments have been done in the international space stationC. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space moreD. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station29. In the process of building a space station ,which statement below is correct ?A. America is not willing to c ooperate with other countries to build a space station .B. America united other countries to build a space station together.C. Other countries scolded America for not working on building a space station together.D. Other countries are forbidden to build a space station alone because only America has such an ability.30What is the author's attitude towards building and developing the international space station?A．Doubtful. B．Critical. C．Supportive. D．Indifferent 31. Which of the following aspects about building the international space station is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Difficulties. B．Cooperation. C．Significance. D．Specific arrangementDThe largest land animal remaining on the earth, the African elephant is of much importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a giant plant-eater, it significantly shapes the forest-an d-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it both a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, as well as pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forest s but also the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth, which attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants create open spaces, allowing ne w plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large-hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well.Scientists are worried now that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant dies out, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disappearance of African elephants.B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C. The effect of African elephants' search for food.D. The eating habit of African elephants.33. The African elephant influences the ecosystem in the following ways except that .A. it creates open areas in deep tropical forests as well as woodlandsB. it pul ls off the branches and leaves, shutting out the sunshineC. its eating habit can be made use of by large-hoofed and small-sized animalsD. it encourages some kinds of plants growing in an indirect way34. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A. Deciding the conditions.B. Worsening the state.C. Improving the quality.D. Fixing the time.35. The passage is developed mainly by .A. presenting the changes in time orderB. making comparisons and giving examplesC. classifying similarities and differencesD. showing the effect and then explaining the reasons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。
