AA British man has been reunited with his leather wallet (钱包)—nearly twenty years after it was lost during a train ride across Switzerland.It appears no one stole anything during the 18 years that Colin Mendoza’s wallet was missing as it still contains the passport and his credit cards (信用卡), driving license, receipts (发票) and an identification card from an old job. But where it was all these years and how it was discovered remains a mystery.Colin still isn’t certain how he lost the wallet while traveling by train from Zurich Airport to Geneva in 1996. He fell asleep on the train and didn’t realize it was missing until he was getting into a car in Geneva. He reported it missing to the police.Years passed and Colin forgot about the incident until he received an e-mail from a police officer in the tiny Swiss mountain town of Chur. It turns out someone found the wallet on the floor of a shopping centre in Chur and handed it in to the local police. After a quick search online an officer found his e-mail address.Colin, 50, said: “When I received the e-mail I thought that was unexpected and happened suddenly. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it.” Colin said the wallet itself－a birthday gift from his wife－is in good condition and showing few signs of additional wear and tear. “I’m amazed at its good condition and that it had my entire old ID－my passport, driving license, old company ID and all my credit cards.” Colin said the police haven’t figured out how the wallet ended up in Chur.A police spokesman said: “We have no idea how it found its way from the train to a shopping centre. But the man was happy to have it recovered.” (318 words)21. Colin Mendoza lost his wallet when he ____________.A. went shopping in a shopping centre in ChurB. was traveling by train in SwitzerlandC. was celebrating his birthday with his wifeD. was working with his workmates in the company22. What do you know about Colin Mendoza’s wallet?A. It was made by his wife.B. It was broken completely.C. It was empty when found again.D. It was a birthday gift for him.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The thief put Colin’s wallet on the floor of a shopping centre.B. Until now no one knows how the wallet was recovered.C. The police found Colin’s address by communicating with his company.D. When Colin found his wallet was missing, he telephoned his wife at once.24. The underlined words “the man” in the last paragraph probably refer to __________.A. Colin MendozaB. the police officerC. the person who found the walletD. the car driverBNow satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make correct forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather fora week or even more ahead. (190 words)25. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________.A. taking pictures of the earthB. weather forecastingC. receiving pictures of the atmosphereD. doing other work in many ways26. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _________.A. clouds form thereB. the pictures can forecast the change of weatherC. the weather satellites can do it easilyD. the pictures are very beautiful27. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier onesB. without studying satellite picturesC. before they receive satellite picturesD. when they have received satellite pictures28. Maybe we’ll soon be able to know about the weather __________ ahead.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longerCDogs need time to stay with their human friends. Surely, we are very busy, so it may be difficult to give our dogs as much attention as they need. When you’re feeling like this, spendingtime with your dog will be more than like a relaxation.Dogs sometimes take on their owners’ feelings. If you’re in low spirits or anxious all the time, your dog can be anxious and sad as well. Similarly, if you are happy, your dogs can be happy, too.Here are a few things that you can do to make time for your dog so that he or she is not lonely!Take your dog with you when you are out doing the normal daily tasks. However, you should never leave your dog for more than half an hour in the car and you should never leave your dog in the car on a hot day. This could result in fatal injuries due to the heat.Let your dog sleep in the bedroom with you at nigh t, but he or she doesn’t have to sleep on the bed. This helps them feel safe.Try exploring different areas with your dog. Although dogs like familiar surroundings, they also like to explore new areas and see new things.Encourage the other members of your family to play with your dog.To conclude, you need to spend a good amount of time with your dog, giving him or her attention and making sure that he or she is healthy and happy. (252 words)29. People sometimes do not give enough care to their dogs because they _________.A. want others to do thisB. think dogs hate thisC. don’t have the timeD. don’t know the right ways30. What can we learn about dogs from the second paragraph?A. Dogs’ mood is easily affected by their owners’ feelings.B. Dogs get anxious and depressed easily.C. Dogs are happier with their owners.D. Dogs seldom understand people’s feelings.31. Which of the following will probably be good for dogs?A. Leaving dogs in the car on a hot day.B. Keeping dogs out of the bedrooms.C. Finding unfamiliar ways to play with dogs.D. Playing with dogs without anyone else.32. What is the topic of the passage?A. Dogs get annoyed easily.B. Prepare enough food for your pet dog.C. Leave your dog in a car alone on a hot day kills.D. Spend time with your close friends—your dogs.DHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) withlight cheek kisses. Schedules (日程表) tend to be flexible (灵活的), with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency (效率)is the goal, so meetings are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank (等级) is important and authority (权威) is respected. People avoid disagreeing outright (直率地) with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab Emirates (阿拉伯联合酋长国)In the UAE, status (地位)is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They are also respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时)is important, so arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows (肘部) off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate. (354 words)33. The passage mainly deals with __________.A. various types of communicationB. the atmosphere in workplaceC. living conditions and standardsD. customs and social manners34. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They regard efficiency as the most important.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.D. They are used to having a fast-paced and direct talk.35. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.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，并在机读答题卷上将该项涂黑。

Little Pear is a 5-year-old naughty boy living in a Chinese village, and each short chapter brings a new adventure in his family's life. The series offers children a window into a different world, described in language perfectly fit for a young child's sense of curiosity, excitement, and danger.We're Going on a Bear Hunt（Classic Board Books）, by Michael Rosen and Helen OxenburyNow young readers can join in the fun with this Classic Board Book edition of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Full of delightful comedy, this tale of a brave family's joyous journey is sure to win new fans.The Wayside School series, by Louis SacharThe Wayside School series attracted me a lot when I read Mrs. Gorf turned all the children into apples. These books might be my all-time favorites to read aloud. Are they inspiring stories or morality tales（道德故事）or just comments on the educational system? Thanks to the gift of Louis Sachar, they're all three. The fact that he based the characters on actual students he taught at a California public school makes children love reading these stories more.The Tashi series, by Anna FienbergWho is Tashi?

An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook—a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on, but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War Ⅰ.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War Ⅰ, honours were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble（谦逊的）manners. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.（1）The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.A.the difficulty of Einstein's thought to othersB.the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC.the difference between science and historyD.the change in human thought produced by Einstein（2）From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein ________.A.enjoyed world popularityB.became head of a schoolC.was popular with his studentsD.enjoyed studying wars（3）Which of the following statements about Einstein is TRUE?A.He achieved more than other scientists in history.B.Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.A.Einstein's theory was soon accepted even by ordinary peopleB.more and more honours went to EinsteinC.Einstein almost had no chances for his researchD.Einstein was not honoured in Germany until the rise of NazismD.The delivery of the printer cost much time.（4）What does Ascione think of the new printed house?A.It is much cheaper than a brick house.B.It benefits a lot from the C3PO project.C.It is well received in construction industry.D.It is an inspiration for the construction industry.D.Suspect.（3）We can conclude from Paragraph 6 that pet cafes may ________.A.change our views of animalsB.teach us how to look after pets betterC.show us the importance of having petsD.remind us to value our family and friends（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Cafes Enjoy Great PopularityB.Ideal Shelters for Lovely AnimalsC.Animals Turn into CompanionsD.Animal Lovers from Different Cities三、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）6. （5分）第一节假定你是李华，你校上周六在南山社区进行了义务劳动。

AGoing green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little thing counts.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websit es. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something un-green might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.1. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Keeping Open-MindedB. Protecting the PlanetC. Going GreenD. Celebrating Our Green Year2. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because _____________.A. they were expected to follow the green fad.B. they didn't know how to educate other people.C. they needed to perform unusual green tasks.D. They were unwilling to reduce their energy.3. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They sold their home-made food.B. They ignore others' un-green behavior.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They tried to get out of their un-green habits.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green project.B. Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.C. The couple may continue their project in the future.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.BLast month, the president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, held an underwater meeting. The purpose of the ocean floor conference is to highlight the effects of global warming on his island nation.The Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean, is the lowest-lying country on Earth. Melting glaciers and polar ice are causing sea levels to rise, putting the Maldivesand other low-lying areas at risk of being swallowed by the sea within the next 100 years.What can be done? Scientists and leaders from 190 nations will try to figure that out at the United Nations climate change conference next month. The main goal of the meeting is to come up with a new climate agreement for 2012 and beyond. That is when the existing plan, the Kyoto Protocol will expire. The agreement was created in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997. Since then, it has been ratified(正式批准) by 190 nations. The countries promised to limit the amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dio xide, which they produced each year.The debate over who should cut greenhouse emissions has been going on for years. The US has been hesitant to reduce emissions unless fast-growing nations such as China and India also reduce their use of fossil fuels. In recent months, China has taken steps to be greener. But India has been unwilling to change. It argues that it is unfair for rich nations to ask poorer countries to cut down on emissions.While world leaders work on a plan in Copenhagen, there are many things you can do to help the planet. You cansave fuel by walking or biking instead of riding in a car. You can start a recycling program in your community. You can plant trees.

According to the passage, limiting greenhouse emissions_____________.A. will make poor countries poorer.B. is well performed in the Maldives.C. has been a controversial question.D. means banning carbon dioxide emissions.7. What does the author suggest?A. Like the Maldives, other island countries should take action.B. Both the US and India should cut greenhouse emissions.C.

Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence —other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very importantfertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine(露天矿). When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. S oon people realized that they had a terrible problem —their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.8. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerfulB. Peaceful and attractiveC. Modern and openD. Greedy and aggressive9. The ecological disaster in Nauru resu lted from _____________.A. whale huntingB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. soil pollution10. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts’words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.11. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.B. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.C. To show the importance of money.D. To give a warning to other countries.DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now reali ze that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its sup ply of natural resources. Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent yearsthe markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.12. The traditional business model is h armful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____________.A. it consumes natural resources.B. it makes the world warmer.C. it brings severe damage to forests.D. it makes growth hard to continue.13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.14. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _____________.A. make full use of natural resources.B. explore new natural resources.C. develop sustainable products.D. deal with the major challenge.15. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advocate sustainable development.B. To compare two business models.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. To introduce a new business model.第二节阅读下面的文章，从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1？A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Creatures forced out of their homes.D. Feeling uncertain about his future.13. Why was the author called to Muttontown？A.To look at a baby owl.B. To cure a young owl.C. To rescue a woman.D. To take care of a woman.14. What made the chick calm down？A. Its parents.B. A recording.C.Some food.D. A new nest.15. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event？A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s humorous.C. It’s beautiful.D. It’s discouraging二、阅读七选五（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。

五高2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题
五高2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）1. 阅读理解As a five-year-old, I didn't know how poor we were. My father would not be home that Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. "How much is your cheapest tree?" My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. "Thirty dollars, miss."Her smile disappeared, "Nothing for less?" The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. "I just work here. I can't change the price."The sudden melancholy (忧郁) in my mother's face made me sad. The man looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches inthe corner. "Behind it is a tree that we can't sell. You can have it for free.""Thank you, sir," I said.There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branches—almost a ghost (幽灵) of a tree. My mother asked, "Can we take some of these branches?" He waved his arm. "Take it all if you want to, miss."We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldn't imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, "Go to sleep now, son. Santa will decorate the tree for us."I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier.Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.1.（1） Why did the mother decide to get the tree in theevening?A . She wanted to buy it at a lower price.B . She was fully occupied during the day.C . She was waiting for the father topick it up. D . She had made an appointment with the seller.2.（2） How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behindthe branches?A . Disappointed.B . Delighted.C . Frightened.D . Relieved.3.（3） What brought the father to tears?A . The pain of his war wound.B . The efforts his wife put into the tree.C . The reunion with his family.D . The decorations his son made for the tree.2. 阅读理解Exactly five years ago, on New Year's Eve, I was invited to a children's ball by a man high up in the business world, who had his connections, his circle of acquaintances, and his close friends. So it seemed as though the children's ball was merely an excuse for the parents to come together and discuss matters of interest to themselves, quite innocently and casually.I was an outsider, and, as I had no special matters to air, I was able to spend the evening independently of the others. There was another gentleman present who like me had just stumbled upon this affair of domestic happiness. He was the first to attract my attention. His appearance was not that of a man of noble birth. He was tall, rather thin, very serious, and well dressed. Obviously he had no heart for the family celebration. The instant he went off into a corner by himself thesmile disappeared from his face, and his thick dark brows knitted into a frown. He knew no one except the host and showed every sign of being bored to death, though bravely keeping the role of thorough enjoyment to the end. Later I learned that he was a provincial, had come to the capital on some important business, had brought a letter of recommendation to our host, and our host had taken him under his protection, not at all with love. It was merely out of politeness that he had invited him to the children's ball.They did not play cards with him. They did not offer him cigars. No one entered into conversation with him. Possibly they recognized the bird by its feathers from a distance. Thus, my gentleman, not knowing what to do with his hands, was compelled to spend the evening stroking his whiskers. His whiskers were really fine, but he stroked them so eagerly that one got the feeling that the whiskers had come into the world first and afterwards the man in order to stroke them.1.（1） According to the author, the real purpose of thechildren ball was that ________.A . the parents wanted to make their children happyB . the parents had a chance to meet and socializeC . the host hoped to make the guests happyD . the host wanted to give a welcome to an important guest2.（2） The gentleman was unhappy because ________.A . he was one of the poor relatives of the hostB . he was from the countrysideC . he was trying to do some business with the hostD . he was not really welcome in the ball3.（3） The gentleman touched his whiskers eagerly justbecause ________.A . he liked his whiskers very muchB . he had the habit of doing soC . he was embarrassed in the ballD . he felt uneasy wearing whiskers3. 阅读理解Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚) in which students either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform (符合) to a stereotype, a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it hadbecome too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern style in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the studyreported.1.（1） What does Tony Little say about the British educationsystem?A . It makes girls less emotional than boys.B . It fails more boys than girls academically.C . It fails to give boys the attention they need.D . It places more pressure on boys than on girls.2.（2） According to Abigail James, boys perform better insingle-sex schools because ________.A . boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB . boys focus more on their lessons without being disturbedC . teaching quality is relatively higher than in mixed schoolsD . teaching can be designed to suit the characteristics of boys3.（3） Which of the following is NOT characteristic of boys?A . Boys have sharper vision.B . Boys enjoy being in charge.C . Boys like “hands-on” lessons.D . Boys prefer physical activities.4.（4） What is mainly discussed in the passage?A . Problems boys may have in mixed schools.B . Boys' physical and mental growth in school.C . Advantages of single-sex education for boys.D . Boys' disadvantages over girls in mixed schools.二、任务型阅读（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）4. 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。

When was the American Museum of Natural History founded?A. in 1869B. in January,1869C. in 1689D. in the winter of 1869BThe greatest artistic creative geniuses I've ever seen, have been those who can turn garbage into art. Not just gluing together junk, but really making waste into something unique, cool, and well, something you'd put into your home for instance. There's something to be said about recycling of those items we commonly throw away.The ability to take trash and garbage and turn it into art, or something intriguing that is fascinating to look at is a skill all of its own. I have often said that the tree geniuses of our time, that is to say the creative genius artists of our era are those who can do this, create art that can command a high price tag from junk. Over the years while traveling through the United States I had stopped into museums in many parts of the country.Some of the best art I've ever seen in my life has come from garbage, trash, or junk that has been reworked and recycled into something spectacular. Best of all the artists don't spend much on material costs, therefore it is mostly profitable. In fact they are using their minds to do a lot with very little. Just think if we all used our minds to do this, how little we might actually throw away, and how more efficiently we could run our factories, production, and even households.After all, anything that is not used is waste, and it is thrown away. It ends up in a landfill, or a dump somewhere, and eventually it decays in the soil, causing perhaps ground water pollution. However, if we can rework these items for a couple of more rounds, and waste less, then we are providing efficiency for our civilization, and that's a good thing. Any artist who can do this is not only one caring the environment, but he is also one with humanity, and using his brain power and creative genius to make us all better.26．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Garbage in art outB. Recycle garbage in a new wayC. A new kind of artD. A new way to protect the environment27．The author believes the art work created from junk________.A. is not suitable to be put in our homeB. is of little valueC. can be of great valueD. will end up in landfills28．What do we know about the author from the third paragraph?A. He can't afford good art from garbage.B. Art made from garbage doesn't cost much in material.C. He collects a lot of art from garbage.D. He thinks it's easy to make art from garbage.29．We learn from the last paragraph that________.A. real artists are those with humanityB. creating art from garbage can also help the environmentC. there is no good way to deal with waste todayD. a great amount of waste has been reused by artists30．What's the author's attitude towards the artists who turn garbage into art?A. Neutral.B. Pitiful.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.CA powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2：46 p. m. local time on March 11th, 2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.There are over 4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters(地震烈度测量仪) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes. There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.Castas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles. He says, “Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.”He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last 150 years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.The 9. 0-magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like Japan, where the center of the earthquake struck so close to the coastline. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these_facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted.31．From the second paragraph we can infer that________.A．Japan is an island countryB．the center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coastC．the meters in Japan have dropped behindD．many measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan 32．The underlined word “anticipated” in the third paragraph probably means“________”．A. predictedB. measuredC. countedD. prevented33．The underlined words “these facts” in the last paragraph refer to the following EXCEPT________.A. the concrete sea walls can't control the waveB. it is the worst earthquake happening in Japan in the historyC. the speed of the tsunami is frightening and quickD. there are many earthquakes in Japan34．Which may be the best title of this passage?A. Earthquakes and tsunamis can be predictedB. A 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit JapanC. Japan's concrete sea wallsD. A report about Japan's early warning systems35．On which column of China Daily can you find the passage?A. TechnologyB. Culture discoveryC. TravelD. HistoryDTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York －he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，”Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk as a reminder.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda.The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die，” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”36．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A．His health problem.B．His love for teaching.C．The influence of his wife.D．The news from the Web.37．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A．Give out brochures.B．Do something similar.C．Write books for childrenD．Retire from being a teacher.38．According to the text, Dollly Parton is________.A．a well-known surgeonB．a mother of a four-year-oldC．a singer born in TennesseeD．a computer programmer39．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A．To avoid signing up online.B．To meet Dollywood board members.C．To make sure the books were the newest.D．To see if the books were of good quality.40. What did Linda teach in New York?A. libraryB. special educationC. computersD. politicsⅤ. 新题型（每小题1.5分，共15分）要求：题中会出现三种形式：1. 用所给单词的正确形式填空；2. 根据单词的首字母提示填空；3. 根据文章的上下文填空。
