2018-2019学年福建省莆田市第二十五中学高二下学期第一次月考英语试题Word版含答案
（考试时间：120分钟）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)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
ABest sellers in children’s activities ＆ crafts books21．Which book is the best choice for bedtime stories?A．Karina Garcia’s DIYB．Peek a WHOC．How to Draw PeopleD． The Wonderful Things You Will Be22．How much should you pay for a suitable gift for a hide and seek lover?A．$ 3.56.B．$14.96C．$ 5.78D．$ 4.0623．What can we learn from Karina Garcia’s DIY?A．How to buy high-quality slime.B．How to keep slime in good condition.C．How to create full-color pictures.D．How to arrange different colors.B“Wars of the next century will be fought over water.” This latest warning comes from the World Bank, the largest internationa l investor in water projects.So, is the world running out of water? No.The total quantity of fresh water on the earth surpasses (超过) all possible human needs.But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the River Jordan.There is no world water crisis, but there are crises of under investment, of political conflict over rivers that cross national boundaries, and of rather foolish water management.The Middle East is the likeliest place for future water wars.A long-term settlement between Israel and its neighbors will depend at least as much on fair allocation (分配) of water as that of land.Iraq and Syria watch and wait as Turkey builds dams in the headwaters of the Euphrates.Elsewhere, India angers Bangladesh by diverting to its fields the thin dry-season flow of the Ganges.Meanwhile, the best places for dams are mostly used up.Engineering and environmental costs of developing new water sources will be much higher than in the past.However, the solution to the world’s water crisis lies in supply than in demand.The World Bank has spent half a century build ing dams, but the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water.Israeli scientists have understood this long since.They have revolutionized their countries use of water, cutting out much of the waste in watering crops, which in many countries accounts for 90% of water use.24.The world’s total fresh water supply .A.is more than enough for human needsB.doesn’t meet human needsC.is likely to run out in the next centuryD.can’t be renewed once it is used up25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There is a world water crisis.B.There is great improvement in the fresh water supply.C.There is local fresh water shortage.D.There is no way to solve the present water problems.26.According to the author, peace between Israel and its neighbors will not come unless .A.the water problem is solvedB.the UN takes part in the talksC.the USA acts as the peace makerD.all Arab countries join in the peace talks27.The chief solution to the water crisis is .A.developing new fresh water sourcesB.building more damsC.co-operation among nationsD.efficient use of waterCAs health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical co sts are going up like crazy, he says. This company spends more than 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is individual fitness.”We have a fitness center, “Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac.,” says, “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol (胆固醇) checks, as well as ‘not to smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy.I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides some type of facility for the employees.”While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. The companies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see those health programs as a valuable benefit.Tom Brook exercises fiv e days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that difficult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom, “So everybody gets a chance to u se it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs, but they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees. 28．What’s the best way to cut the medical cost according to Shawn Flaherty?A．To reduce the number of employees around the country.B．To set up fitness centers of their own.C．To encourage the employees to work out to keep fit.D．To pay membership fees at local gyms for the employees.29．Why does the writer cite (引用) what Rachelle Clark and Tom Brook say?A．To show the employees welcome the health programs.B．To show how effective physical exercise is.C．To explain how to use the fitness centers.D．To persuade more employers to set up health centers.30．Which of the following best expresses the meaning of the underlined part?A．The programs may cure all kinds of patients like magic.B．The programs may keep the health costs rising.C．The programs may not cost a large amount of money.D．The programs may not solve the health costs problem completely.31．What is the text mainly about?A．How difficult it is to reduce health care costsB．What causes the health care costs to rise year by year.C．Why and how companies encourage their employees to keep fit.D．How people keep healthy by doing exercise in their working places.DAt the end of August this year I moved from London, UK, to a small town in Quebec, Canada, called Matane to work as an English language assistant. Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.I don’t see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work. I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of the students turned back and said, “Thank you for your patience.” That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference betwee n building someone’s confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. They repeat things several times andthey are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order. It’s a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous. At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people’s conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent. The key is to be patient with yourself. 32．According to Paragraph 2, what does the writer think is important as a teacher?A．Understanding. B．HelpC．Confidence. D．Patience.33．In a small town called Matane, which language do the local people speak?A．French. B．Spanish.C．English. D．Italian.34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Practice makes perfect for learning a foreign language.B．Doctors in Quebec are good at treating headaches.C．The writer went to Matane to learn the importance of patience.D．The writer first noticed the importance of patience on hearing a student’s appreciation.35．What is the best title for the passage?A．Learn a Foreign Language with PatienceB．Attractions of QuebecC．My Work Experience in QuebecD．Patience Brings a Surprise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。

AEvery day Lillian weber makes another dress for a small child she’ll never meet .I could probably make two a day，b ut I only make one，” she says . The dresses are collected and sent overseas to little girls in Africa by a Chr istian group called“Little Dresses for Africa”．In the past two years she's made more than 840 dresses and she plans to make 1 50 more by May 6th of next year．You see，by next May，Lillian will turn 1 00 years old and it will be her one thousandth dress．In L illian’s Scott County farmhouse are completed dresses for little girls，made from a pattern，but each with extra individual details，designed to give each child a little extra pride．“She personalizes them all，”says Lillian’s daughter，Linda Purcell．“It’s not like good enough that she makes the dresses．and she has to put something on the front to make it look special , to give it her touch(装饰) .”What started as a hobby has become a daily labor of love．“I just think she’s somebody to look up to，somebody not just sitting around and wasting her life，” says Tonya Urbatsch，who nominated(提名)Lillian for the“Pay It Forward ” award．“I’m amazed at her every day，”adds Linda．“I'm very，very proud of my mother．”Family and friends will continue to be proud of Lillian，well after her 1000th dress．After all，1000 is just a number．“When I get to that thousand，if I'm able to，1 won't quit．I'll go at it again．”When Lillian is finished with her dresses，her daughters deliver them to “Little Dresses for Africa” ，founded in 2008 in Michigan．Its founder，Rachel O’Neill，says 2.5 million dresses have been distributed to orphanages，churches，and schools in Africa．Rachel says she’s traveling to Africa again and hopes to be able to present to a child one of the dresses personally made by Lillian．21．According to the passage，Lillian _____ .A．will have made 990 dresses by May 6th of next yearB．will keep making dresses after turning 100 years oldC．makes dresses to win the “Pay It Forward” awardD． makes dresses to kill the time22．It can be inferred from the passage that Lillian _____ .A．makes only one dress a day because she is too oldB．takes pride in being nominated for the awardC．presents the dresses to African girls personallyD．expresses her love for African girls through every special dress23．The sentence underlined in Paragraph 3 probably shows thatA．Lillian isn't good at making dressesB．Lillian is too old to make the dresses wellC．Lillian isn’t satisfied with the dresses she madeD．Lillian makes the dresses with great enthusiasm and patience24．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Little Dresses for Africa B．“Pay It Forward” AwardC．99-year-old Sewing for Africa Every Day D．1000 Dresses for AfricaBThey are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo,or when sleeping — but a lot less appealing at 30,000 ft, cryingloudly in the seat right next to you.According to a new survey, almost seven in ten Britons dislikeflying with babies so much that they would like to see child-freeareas introduced on planes. As for long-distance flights where peoplewant to sleep, almost one in four British travelers believes thatno-kind-zones should be fixed as required sections.The survey was conducted by bookings website , with 1,108 UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel.And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep, it seems.More than a third of us —35 per cent —woul d pay extra to travel on a childless service.Long-dista nce passengers would be prepared to pay an additional £63 to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board.And on short-distance flights, an extra £28 on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle （走道）.However, screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travellers.In fact, according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers, a crying baby ranks as on ly the fourth.Over half of those surveyed — 58 per cent —selected ‘drunk travellers’ as their pet peeves.People with ‘bad personal hygiene（卫生）’ and travellers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list, causing anger to 48 and 47 per cent of us respectively （分别地）.Crying babies came in at fourth on the list, a pet peeve for 43 per cent of those surveyed.25. Britons dislike flying with babies because they _____.A. get angry easilyB. make too much noiseC. sleep right next to themD. stay in the economy-class aisle26. How many British travellers surveyed would like to have no-kid-zones on planes?A. About 35%.B. About 43%.C. About 58%.D. About 70%.27. What does the underlined phrase “pet peeves” in the last third p aragraph mean?A. Pets on a plane.B. Passengers with a baby.C. People who annoy you.D. People who were surveyed.28. What kind of passengers is most disliked by British airline travellers?A. The crying babies on a flight.B. People with bad personal hygiene.C. Those who have drunk too much alcohol.D. Those who kick the back of the seat in front.CWilliam Saroyan’s book The Human Comedy was published in 1943．The main character of this book is Homer Macauley．He is a fourteen-year-old boy．He comes from a poor but decent(体面的)family．The time is World War II．The place is Ithaca，in California’s San Joaquin Valley．Homer determined to become the fastest telegraph messenger．Love and money brings him face-to--face with human emotions when they are most naked and raw．Daytime Homer is in school and when he is free from school he works at a telegraph office . Besides Homer，the family members are Katey，Marcus，Bess and Ulysses．Katey is a very understanding mother and she stands in close relation toher four children．Marcus，who is the eldest son，is a soldier in the War and he gets killed in the end of the book．Bess is the only daughter and she studies at the University．Ulysses is the youngest in the family and he is a curious little boy．He is four year s old and his own adventures are humorous and comical plots in the book．Matthew，the father died two years ago，when Homer was twelve．The family bonds are very strong and the relations in the book are characterized by mutual(相互)consideration，understanding and kindness．The Human Comedy is gentle and richly autobiographical(自传)．This delightful novel shows a boy becoming a man in the world that even during the war appears sw eeter，safer，and more livable than our own．The book is lovely and there are lots of humanism in it and t he characters act in an unordinary and unexpected way．Sometimes you wonder if is a bit overstated．I think that’s why the book is called The Human Comedy．The humanity，the consideration and the emotional feelings are some of the important thoughts in the book．The book also says that you won’t be cruel，small and mean．29．The Human Comedy mainly deals with ____ .A．Homer’s school life B．Homer's growthC．Homer's life as a messenger D．Homer and his family30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The novel was set in World War II．B．A decent family was usually poor．C．The father got killed in the war．D．Homer was a full—time telegraph messenger．31．How many Characters in the novel are mentioned in the passage?A．4．B．5．C．6．D．7．32．According to the passage，the author holds the view that _____ .A．The Human Comedy is a book full of delightful storiesB．The Human Comedy is written in a serious styleC．10ve and．humanity affects the growth of a childD．a boy will become a man after experiencing the warDAbout 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.When in the teacher's office，an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？No，no，it can't be.What a helpless，lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class.Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry，“Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？”No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well， wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times？“Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？”Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.As I had expected，my son learned t o speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well adjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.33．The teacher asked the author to his office ________.A．to discuss Scola's in class performanceB．to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC．to find a language partner for ScolaD．to work out a study plan for Scola34．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Breaking. B．Following.C．Attending. D．Disturbing.35．The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as ________.A．critical B．casual C．positive D．passive第二节（共5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，选项中有两项是多余的选项Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time. __36__ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：1．Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? __37__2．Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __38__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3．__39__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. __40__ And don't let a busy schedule discourageyou from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A．Try new things.B．Ability is easily improved.C．Make three or four instead.D．Understand your food better.E．Cooking is a burden for many people.F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡将该项涂黑。

2018-2019学年福建省莆⽥市第⼆⼗五中学⾼⼆下学期第⼀次⽉考英语试题Word版（考试时间：120分钟）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)阅读下列短⽂，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
ABest sellers in children’s activities ＆ crafts books21．Which book is the best choice for bedtime stories?A．Karina Garcia’s DIYB．Peek a WHOC．How to Draw PeopleD． The Wonderful Things You Will Be22．How much should you pay for a suitable gift for a hide and seek lover?A．$ 3.56.B．$14.96C．$ 5.78D．$ 4.0623．What can we learn from Karina Garcia’s DIY?A．How to buy high-quality slime.B．How to keep slime in good condition.C．How to create full-color pictures.D．How to arrange different colors.B“Wars of the next century will be fought over water.” This latest warning comes from the World Bank, the largest internationa l investor in water projects.So, is the world running out of water? No.The total quantity of fresh water on the earth surpasses (超过) all possible human needs.But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the River Jordan.There is no world water crisis, but there are crises of under investment, of political conflict over rivers that cross national boundaries, and of rather foolish water management.The Middle East is the likeliest place for future water wars.A long-term settlement between Israel and its neighbors will depend at least as much on fair allocation (分配) of water as that of land.Iraq and Syria watch and wait as Turkey builds dams in the headwaters of the Euphrates.Elsewhere, India angers Bangladesh by diverting to its fields the thin dry-season flow of the Ganges.Meanwhile, the best places for dams are mostly used up.Engineering and environmental costs of developing new water sources will be much higher than in the past.However, the solution to the world’s water crisis lies in supply than in demand.The World Bank has spent half a century build ing dams, but the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water.Israeli scientists have understood this long since.They have revolutionized their countries use of water, cutting out much of the waste in watering crops, which in many countries accounts for 90% of water use.24.The world’s total fresh water supply .A.is more than enough for human needsB.doesn’t meet human needsC.is likely to run out in the next centuryD.can’t be renewed once it is used up25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There is a world water crisis.B.There is great improvement in the fresh water supply.C.There is local fresh water shortage.D.There is no way to solve the present water problems.26.According to the author, peace between Israel and its neighbors will not come unless .A.the water problem is solvedB.the UN takes part in the talksC.the USA acts as the peace makerD.all Arab countries join in the peace talks27.The chief solution to the water crisis is .A.developing new fresh water sourcesB.building more damsC.co-operation among nationsD.efficient use of waterCAs health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical costs are going up like crazy, he says. This company spends more than 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is indiv idual fitness.”We have a fitness center, “Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac.,” says, “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol (胆固醇) checks, as well as ‘not to smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy.I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides s ome type of facility for the employees.”While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. Thecompanies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see those health programs as a valuable benefit.Tom Brook exercises five days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that diffic ult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom, “So everybody ge ts a chance to use it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs, but they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees. 28．What’s the best way to cut the medical cost according to Shawn Flaherty?A．To reduce the number of employees around the country.B．To set up fitness centers of their own.C．To encourage the employees to work out to keep fit.D．To pay membership fees at local gyms for the employees.29．Why does the writer cite (引⽤) what Rachelle Clark and Tom Brook say?A．To show the employees welcome the health programs.B．To show how effective physical exercise is.C．To explain how to use the fitness centers.D．To persuade more employers to set up health centers.30．Which of the following best expresses the meaning of the underlined part?A．The programs may cure all kinds of patients like magic.B．The programs may keep the health costs rising.C．The programs may not cost a large amount of money.D．The programs may not solve the health costs problem completely.31．What is the text mainly about?A．How difficult it is to reduce health care costsB．What causes the health care costs to rise year by year.C．Why and how companies encourage their employees to keep fit.D．How people keep healthy by doing exercise in their working places.DAt the end of August this year I moved from London, UK, to a small town in Quebec, Canada, called Matane to work as an English language assistant. Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.I don’t see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work. I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of the students turned back and said, “Thank you for your patience.” That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference betwee n building someone’s confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. They repeat things several times andthey are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order. It’s a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous. At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people’s conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent. The key is to be patient with yourself. 32．According to Paragraph 2, what does the writer think is important as a teacher?A．Understanding. B．HelpC．Confidence. D．Patience.33．In a small town called Matane, which language do the local people speak?A．French. B．Spanish.C．English. D．Italian.34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Practice makes perfect for learning a foreign language.B．Doctors in Quebec are good at treating headaches.C．The writer went to Matane to learn the importance of patience.D．The writer first noticed the importance of patience on hearing a student’s appreciation.35．What is the best title for the passage?A．Learn a Foreign Language with PatienceB．Attractions of QuebecC．My Work Experience in QuebecD．Patience Brings a Surprise第⼆节 (共5⼩题；每⼩题2分，满分10分)根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos(标识) in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I like the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonald’sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were co mbined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, arainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.AdidasThe Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.21．What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A．They are boring. B．They are out of date.C．They are practical. D．They are attractive.22．We can learn that Apple’s present logo is.A．a bitten apple with only one color.B．the religious story of Adam and Eve.C．Newton’s sitting under an apple tree.D．the rainbow-colored bitten apple.23．Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A．Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s - Nike - Apple.B．Nike - McDonald’s- Apple- Mercedes Benz.C．McDonald’s– Apple- Nike- Mercedes Benz.D．Nike- Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s- Apple.BBuying new clothes isn’t an easy matter for everyone, here are some tips(建议) for you .When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes.Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions(说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.24．If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that .A．can be washed B．don’t last longC．need to be dry cleaned D．don’t fit you25．The labels inside the clothes tell you .A．how to keep the clothes looking their best B．how to save moneyC．whether the clothes fit you or not D．where to get the clothes dry cleaned26．We learn from the passage that cheaper clothes .A．are always worse made B．must be dry cleanedC．can sometimes fit you better D．cannot be washed27．The best title for the passage should be .A．Buy Less Expensive Clothes B．Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC．Being a Clever Clothes Shopper D．Choosing the Labels inside New ClothesCLast week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying carsto reality very soon.Imagine never having to worry about traffic, stop lights, or road construction. A flying car would get to a place much faster than one travelling by road. On the other hand, imagine having to avoid drones (无人驾驶飞机) and other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?Kitty Hawk is a start-up tech company supported by Google co-founder, Larry Page. According to the Kitty Hawk website, its car will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour in the air. It says under US aviation law such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncongested (不拥挤的) areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of US$100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive US$2, 000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Kitty Hawk expects its first flying cars will go on sale by the end of this year.At a conference last week, Uber announced plans for flying taxis to begin carrying passengers. Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Instead, it will use the resources of partner companies.Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company said that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from two hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel. 28．What could the main problems for flying cars be?A．There is not enough space for them to land.B．They may hit other flying cars or have a dead battery in the sky.C．Sky transportation would cause more traffic jams.D．They travel much more slowly than travelling by road.29．According to the passage, the pilots of flying cars ____________.A．must be professional pilotsB．are required to fly in crowded spaceC．are not required to have a pilot’s licenseD．are not only allowed to fly in urgent situations30．What is Kitty Hawk doing to attract customers?A．Reducing the price for all customers.B．Giving rewards to those visiting its website.C．Advertising its first flying cars on public media.D．Offering a discount to those paying a deposit early.31．What is the difference between Uber and Kitty Hawk in the flying car market?A．Uber’s flying taxis will use electric power.B．Uber intends to build its flying cars to fly very fast.C．Uber prefers to use the resources of partners rather than build its flying cars.D．The trips made by Uber’s flying taxis are much cheaper than road taxis.DMuch information can be clearly conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze（注视）, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker willonly look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar（说谎者）usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ideas that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.32．What may a person usually do on a bus?A．Glance at a stranger with eye contact.B．Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.C．Glance at a stranger without eye contact.D．Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.33．What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?A．He likes her eyes. B．He admires her.C．He knows her well. D．He makes contact with her.34．Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?A．He thinks that he is honest.B．He wants to control the victim.C．He feels uneasy about others’ eye contact.D．He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.35．What may be the best title for the text?A．Eyes Can Speak B．Eye Contact MattersC．Don’t Stare at Others D．Use Your Eye Contact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。

AYou might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China. Here, we list several of the most beautiful ancient villages in China.Baoshan Stone City, Yunnan ProvinceBaoshan Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, and only has about one hundred houses. The houses are laid out in an orderly way, built on the rock, and linked by stone steps. The Naxi people there still lead an original life and grow crops in terraces (梯田); you can experience the colorful culture of the Naxi ethnic (民族的) group there.Tuvas Village in Kanas, XinjiangKanas Tuvas Village is near the mysterious Lake Kanas.

Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to take on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on August 21, 2010. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf and scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn't spend all of her time at sea －she stopped at ports along the way －she did spend her 16th birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn't sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for "youngest" sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children from attempting such dangerous feats（壮举）. But that didn't stop Dekker, who was born on a yacht（大游艇）during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn't mind that she won't hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it."I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Records won't recognize my attempt," Dekker wrote on her website, "I did not start on my trip to achieve any record… I did it just for myself."28．Dekker wasn't allowed to sail at the age of 13 because ________.A．people were concerned about her safetyB．she didn't learn the sailing skills wellC．she had to continue her study at schoolD．she didn't have enough patience for long trips29．What does the underlined word "accomplished" in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Failed.

However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild Euro pean birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It, s a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”32．Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?A．To observe geese along their migration routes.B．To follow geese through safe migration paths.C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.D．To guide geese fly safely during the migration.33．What do we know about “Birdman”？A．He is a nature lover.
