For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my 21 was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next 22 I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so.

Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creationwill be nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to replacing it."Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful th at he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six work men spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. "The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door," he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxinghotel break. "It's great fun," Bergqvist explains , "as well as a good start in survival training."The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. "You can get a lot of people in," explains Bergqvist. "Thebeds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time."36. Bergqvist designed and built the world's first igloo hotel because ______A. he believed people would enjoy trying something newB. he wanted to make a name for the small townC. an art exhibition was about to openD. more hotel rooms were needed37. When the writer says "the fun will be over," he refers to the fact that ______A. hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard testB. Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of waterC. holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big iglooD. a bigger igloo will replace the present one38. According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ______A. to gather a pool of waterB. to prepare a wooden baseC. to cover the ground with iceD. to pile a large amount of snow39.

Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing or business, the lack of a common language can severely delay progress or can stop it altogether.Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major results, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or deadly accidents--even, at times, war. One reported example of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom.No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Possibly because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated (孤立的) examplesdo not give an impression of the size of the problem--something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 percent were for foreign language journals.The language barrier presents itself entirely to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its assumption (设想) that foreign buyers will be happy tocommunicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a matter to be considered first. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing letters; many had their sales language only in English; and as many as 40 percent employed no one who was able to communicate in the customer's languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, especially the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means free from the same problem--although the widespread use of English as an alternative (可替换的) language made them a bit more able to communicate with other countries.The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training projects have promoted an increase in language and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries (词汇表), to ensure consistency (一致性) when material is being translated. It is now much more readily accepted that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or ruined by a failure to take the language needs of the customer into consideration.46. Communication problems may come to the attention of the public when ______.A. somebody has diedB. a serious traffic accident has happenedC. serious results have been causedD. people have trouble in travelling47. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 2?A. doctorB. mushroomC. poisonD. treatment48. What can we infer about American doctors from the case of the poisonous mushrooms?A. They probably only read reports written in English.B. They hadn’t read that report of the treatment.C. They didn’t know how to treat such a case.D. They were unable to get reports written in other languages.49. Firms of English-speaking countries use English only when marketing their products because ______.A. English is their official languageB. they don’t know their products will be sold abroadC. people in their countries don’t know other languagesD. they think foreign customers will be happy when English is used50.

Setting up their own translation services.C. Providing English training for foreign customers.D. Stopping exporting goods to foreign countries.D．Mo was waiting in the corridor outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had tow exams that day and physics was first .She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Terry Looked back at her from the front of the line, and then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. She didn't have a problem with physics ,She didn't have a problem with anything ...Miss Perfect!"Hi ,Mo,it's your foavourite exam today "said Nima ,laughing as she joined the line .Terry was looking at Mo again ."So what's wrong with her?” asked Nima. “I thought you were friends." " Yes, so did I," said Mo. "I)ut she hasn't spoken to me for two weeks now. She promised to help me review for the physics exam too, but then she's ignored all my calls and texts .And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy. She's forgotten who her friends are!" said Mo angrily. "Are you listening to me?" Mr. Reed was talking to the class and the other students were going into the exam room. Mo gave Nima a worried look and followed them.Mo couldn't answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Mo couldn't believe it! Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got such good grades? She felt really angry at Terry, but she didn't know what to do. She thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? "Stop writing and put your pens down" said Mr. Reed as he started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Mo hadn't answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!Mo wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time, but she couldn't find her anywhere. The next exam was history. That was Mo's favourite subject but she wasn't feeling good. Mo went to the library to study, but she couldn't concentrate. She didn't know what to do about Terry. She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. "It wasn't fair! " she thought. "Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time. " thought Mo. Just then, Mr. Reed walked past her table. "Mr. Reed. . . "Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mo was feeling terrible. Why had she told Mr. Reed? But it was too late now. And anyway, Terry didn't want to be her friend! Mr. Reed wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam. She was working on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table withou t thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was too busy looking at her phone and she didn't hear himas he walked silently up to her table. Mr. Reed didn't say anything. He jus picked up her exam paper, tore it in half and pointed to the door, to tell Terry to leave the room. Terry was crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her and Mo felt really guilty now. Why did she tell Mr. Reed?Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. "Mo, please wait I want to talk to you." Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldn't say a word. “Listen," said Terry. "I'm really sorry I haven’t answered any of your calls, but we're having a terrible time at home. My dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and he's in hospital. He had a big heart operation today and I was very worried about him. I know it was stupid, but I was reading texts from my mum to see how the operation was going, but Mr. Reed caught me with my phone. He thought I was cheating. He believes me now, but I have to take the exam again. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was happening. I haven't forgotten that you're a good friend'. Will you forgive me?“51.

But, providing electricity is not the major advantage ofwaste-to-energy plants. In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at awaste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant.The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills. The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year. If all this waste were landfilled (在垃圾填埋地上处理), it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space. That’s the volume of a box three feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high. If that waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high!Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills. And, since most people don’t want landfills in their backyards, it has become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills. Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill.TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment. Like coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity. Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste. Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they are not properly controlled.Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍，阻碍) recycling programs. If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle. Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place. Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first.So, what’s the real story? Can recycling and burning waste coexist? At first glance, recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds (不一致), but they can actually complement (弥补) each othe r. That’s because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others.Let’s look at aluminum, for example. Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself. Burning it produces no energy. So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn.Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycled—it all depends on the price the used paper will bring.Plastics are another matter. Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas, they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants. This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper. Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials.To burn or not to burn is not really the question. We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling.Waste to Energy—JUST BURN IT!WHY BURN WASTE?Advantages ofwaste to Energy◆Though at a high (56) _______,waste-to-energy plants can produce enough electricityfor 2.4 million UShouseholds.◆Burning waste can (57) _______ a considerableamount of trash going to landfills.(58)_______ forlandfilling◆Some communities (59) _______ land for newlandfills.◆Most people refuse to build landfills around.◆Building landfills in far-away areas willincrease the cost of (60) _______ garbage.TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?

The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quality as her sisters'.Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interestin drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing forincome. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne,Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (第一版商 ), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. (It was not published until 1869. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once； Thus each of the sisters bad a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful ； The other two, however, did not do. so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But graduallyit came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only ashort while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1863. In 1854 she married ArthurBell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis ( 肺结核 ) as her sisters had.66.What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?A.Help him write stories.B.Help him get trained in art.C.Teach him how to draw well.D.Teach him how to educate himself.67.We know from the text thatA.Jane Eyre was published in 1847B.Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in allC.the Bronte sisters received good educationD.Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writing68.Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?69.The underlined words "the other two" in the 5th paragraph refer toA.Shirley and VilletteB.The Professor and Agnes GreyC.Agnes Grey and Wuthering HeightsD.The Professor and Wuthering Heights70.What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?A.Their novels interested few publishers.B.None of them had more than two books published.C.None of them lived longer than 40 years old.D.Emily was the least successful of the three.BHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes － is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain“ collections of ”interesting “ things rather” than protective habitats(栖息地 ). Zoos teachpeople that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim( 宣称 ) to educate people and save endangered species(物种 ), but visitorsleave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’natural behavio intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs onlymention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(散布区). The animals’ normal behavior isseldom noticed because zoos don’ t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity formental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior calledzoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept insmall spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their timemaking repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of theirtime walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养生殖) ofendangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sentback to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do notwant people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot ofpaying customers. Haven ’ t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an endto the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups thatwork to protect animals’ natural habitats.71．How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A ．Dangerous.B ．Unhappy.C． Natural.D． Easy.72．In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A ． remain in cages B． behave strangelyC． attack other animals D． enjoy moving around73．What does the author try to argue in the passage?A ． Zoos are not worth the public support.B ． Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C． Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D ． Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.74．The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.A ．pointing out the faults in what zoos doB ． using evidence he has collected at zoosC． questioning the way animals are protectedD ．discussing the advantages of natural habitats75．Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that __________.A ． zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB ． most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC． some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD ． it ’ sceptableac to keep animals away from their habitatsCA university graduate described as a “ respectableand intelligent woman” is seekingprofessional help after being convicted of（明有⋯⋯ 罪）shoplifting for the second timein six months.Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind barsunless she can control the desire to steal from shops.Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealingclothes worth￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting （起） ,said Luz selected some clothes from a display andtook them to the ladies’ toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one ofthe skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms （防盗警装置）.She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges lastOctober, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the policebefore that.“ She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’ t really have any explanation why she didthis, ” Miss Duff said.“ She didn’ t intend to stw e alnt whenintotheshestore .She is at a lossto explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to herdoctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular thatcaused her to do this.”Judge David Azan fined Luz￡50,and warned :“ You’ ve got a criminal record .Ifyou carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future youmay have. ”Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain ,went on to a famousuniversity in Berlin , Germany for her master ’degrees and is now studying for a PhD atCambridge University ,UK.76．What is Ana Luz’ s nationality?A ．American.B ．British.C． Spanish.D． German.77．What does the underlined sentence“ She is at a loss to explain it” mean?A ． In her opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she stole things .B ． She doesn ’ t have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops .C． She thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops.D ．Personally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actions.78．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word“ shoplifting”used i passage?A ．Carrying goods in a lift for a shop.B． Taking goods to the ladies’ toilet.C． Selecting some goods from a display.

The time printed on theinvitation was 7.30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine,food, and song.By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and Davidwere restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no onewanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food,and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be madeclearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00pm or 8.30pm meanspossible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6.30pm, it is normal forguests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive-looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6.30, she likes to bethem, if not on lime, then no later than seven. My age group（late thirties）falls somewherebetween the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer tostudent-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing（杂乱的）, sometimes annoying, and itoften means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element（成分）of surprise.81. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean______.A. tiredB. crazyC. curiousD. hopeless82.Jane and David' s story is used to show that______ .A.petty-goer8 usually get hungry at partiesB.party invitations can be confusingC.people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull83.For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably beconsidered_______.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD.socially unacceptable84.According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.A.are likely to arrive late for a partyB.care little about the party timeC.haven' t really grown up yetD.like surprises at parties85.What is the general idea of the text?A.It' s safe to arrive late just when food is served.B.It' s wise to eat something before going to a party.C.It' s important to follow social rules of party-going.D.It' s necessary to read invitations carefully.II卷部分第四部分：单词拼写（共 10 小题；每题 1 分，满分 10 分）86．She felt g________ about leaving her sick child and going to work.87．I must a________ for not being able to meet you at the airport on time.88．Whenever I get into trouble, he comes to my help without h_________.89．In order to avoid the p_________ for the wrong that he had done, he went to a European country in 1981.90．He was too s__________ to admit that he was wrong and refused to say sorry to his girl friend.91．If you want to pass your exams, you ’d better change your a__________ toward study. 92．She was a________ to graduate from college and get a well-paid job.93．You’ve put me in a very a_______ position and now I don ’t know how to deal with the matter.94．I tried to p__________ him to change his mind but he refused to follow my advice.95．I am sorry that I was a______________ just now and didn ’tquite catch what you said.第五部分：对话填空（共10 小题；每题 1 分，满分10 分）A:Hello.How are you today?

South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can play 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually groom our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions,” said Burger.South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the country to teach children to play golf. Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing (挥棒) with a coach.When the children are good enough, they can practice at a regular golf course, and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Development Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said, “The game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette (礼仪); it teaches them values; it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. They’re doing something worthwhile that they can actually pursue (追求) once they become an adult.”And there are benefits for those young players who do not become professionals. “To play golf, they also have to go to school. They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to get a job, especially in the golfing industry,” said Ostle.In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years. The future of South African golf is already in good hands.36. The reason why South Africa produces top golfers is that .A. the government pays much attention to itB. children of South Africa are very cleverC. the weather there is quite good for golfD. they play tournaments all over the country37. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us .A. how South Africa discovers and develops golfersB. how South Africa trains teenage golf playersC. the golfers come from all social backgroundsD. children learn to play golf for free in South Africa38. What does the underlined word “groom” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Clean.B. Arrange.C. Attend.D. Train.39. According to Andy Ostle, the game of golf .A. is the best sport in the worldB. intends to teach children etiquetteC. is not really their original sportD. helps children grow healthily40. What can we learn about the young players according to the text?A. They are tired of playing football and turn to golf.B. About a quarter of them will become professional players.C. They go to learn playing golf in order to find a good job.D. Most of them play golf in order to get rid of school exams.BPaul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. “Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sailor who’s now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission (使命). “A large part of this boat is flying,” says Larsen. “When it’s going at high speed, it’s like a well-built pa per airplane.”The record is open to any craft (飞行器), as long as it’s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots —a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.41. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to .A. set a new world speed sailing recordB. design a craft which can fly and sailC. win a gold medal in the Olympic GamesD. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market42. To challenge the record, a competitor must .A. make a boat of special paperB. sail the boat designed by himselfC. go through half a kilometer courseD. make use of the latest technology43. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith?A. He was a professional sailor himself.B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then.C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen.D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.44. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat .A. reaches the highest speedB. gets into water from the airC. starts to fly into the airD. slows down in the air45. What would be the best title for the text?A. The world speed sailing competitionB. A flying boat is coming into our lifeC. Rocket scientist Bernard Smith’s dreamD. Newly-designed boat challenges the recordCHippies (嬉皮士) were part of a youth movement, made up of young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. These youngsters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own.The 1960s’ hippies fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today are interested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art. Not much of this was ever appreciated by the older generation. The men wore long, loose hair like the women. They tried to show off themselves and didn’t care about what others thought about them. In the 1960s’, the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look.The fashion clothing was a form against traditional cultures. The personal expressions of people resulted in the styles that had great influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses. Short skirts were worn with knee-high boots, while the long skirts were considered better matched with sandals (凉鞋). They were used to represent peace and love. Artificial flowers and real flowers were worn in the hair.During the hippies movement, men and women grew their hair long, contrary to popular belief. Usually hair was parted in the middle. During this time period, long sideburns (鬓角) were the thing for men. Fashionaccessories (饰品) for women during the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Women’s jewelry was mostly influenced by Native American or any similar handmade designs. Sporting any necklace with beads was hugely popular. Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was a basic part of the hippies scene. Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot (赤脚的).Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion industry in a major way. The hippies fashion keeps changing with time, but women who found their own individuality and style in the 1960s have never let it go and passed much of their own hippies influence on to their daughters.46. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. The hippies fashion in the 1960s.B. The hippies dress and hair styles.C. How hippies movement came about.D. People’s ideas about hippies.47. What is the hippies’ attitude towards the political systems at their time?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Subjective.48. Which one is TRUE about the hippies fashion?A. The hippies didn’t share the same ideas with the older generation.B. The hippies were interested in large and comfortable clothing.C. The hippies didn’t want to follow their parents’ ideas about dressin g.D. The hippies wanted to create something new to attract the world.49. In the 1960s, women’s accessories included all the following except.A. headgearB. bandanasC. sideburnsD. scarves50. What part did the youth movement play in the fashion industry?A. It had a great effect on the whole fashion industry.B. It had little influence on the fashion industry.C. It had a strong influence on the women fashion industry.D.

牛津译林版高中英语必修五高二上学期B1U1阶段测试Ⅰ
14-15学年牛津高二上学期B1U1阶段测试ⅠClass: Name: Marks: 满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AMaking choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is “Hobson’s choice”. It is often used to describe a difficult choice. But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge. Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson’s choice was really no choice.Another expression for having no real choice is “between a rock and a hard place”. It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good. For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends. If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are “caught between a rock and a hard place”.Another expression —“between the devil and the deep blue sea” — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology (词汇学) say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship. If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak (漏), then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working “between the devil and the deep blue sea”.There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —“on the horns of a dilemma” (左右为难). The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices. When your dilemma has horns(角), making a choice becomes impossible. When you are “on the horns of a dilemma”, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.1. We could learn from Mr. Hobson’s story that he .A. wanted to teach the students a lessonB. liked to make things difficult for the studentsC. didn’t permit the students to ride his best horsesD. didn’t know the students were good at riding horses2. The underlined word “seam” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A. the line where two pieces of wood meetB. the piece of wood which begins to leakC. the side of the ship which was being hung overD. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship3. Which of the following expressions doesn’t mean bad choices?A. Between the devil and the deep blue sea.B. Hobson’s choice.C. Between a rock and a hard place.D. On the horns of a dilemma.BThe bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins — lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety (焦虑) builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There’s hardly room for the question, “Will you save me a seat?” at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned (指定的) tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and mi nds to a new friend. The school’s president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that’s linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn’t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity (包容) and friendship.People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.4. What inspired the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system?A. Students didn’t speak to friends at a table.B. Students didn’t manage to get a seat in the cafeteria.C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.5. Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?A. Because students were tired of them.B. Because they didn’t work out as ex pected.C. Because they were replaced by something else.D. Because there was no need for them any more.6. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A. The benefits of the system.B. The disadvantages of the system.C. The wider use of the system.D. The lessons learned from the system.CGood luck symbols and their meaningsRich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that holds us together is luck. Let’s have a look at the meanings of some luck symbols.Bamboo is often connected with growth not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of relationships, careers and life in general. That is why people believepresenting bamboo to another person is akin to presenting the person with good luck.Considered to be one of the gods of wealth by the Buddhists, the Buddha is connected with prosperity(繁荣), success and financial gains. Placing the Buddhadiagonally (成对角线地) opposite the main door activatesand greets the good energy entering the house. While the Buddha is admired for hishappiness, completeness and wisdom of contentment, rubbing his stomach is believedto bring good luck.A symbol of fertility and rebirth, presenting someone with eggs is consideredlucky. A brown egg is connected with not just luck but also happiness. Eggs are alsoused to encourage the growth of crops, protect young children from misfortune andalso as a means to keep away from the evil eye.A ladybug is a symbol of patience, good health and wealth. A ladybug that landson a person is said to take away the illness. A ladybug landing herself on a recentlymarried woman brings happiness and joy.Call them the luck bringers, for spotting a penny lying on the floor is indeed your luck. You know the saying, “Find a penny, pick it up, and all that day you’ll have goodluck!”There are many more symbols of good luck. However, one should never rely completely on these symbols for success, and should view them as just confidence boosters. Good Luck!7. The underlined word “akin” probably means .A. dueB. usefulC. similarD. harmful8. Which of the following can bring us good luck?A. Keeping a ladybug as a pet.B. Rubbing the Buddha’s stomach.C. Dropping a penny to the floor.D. Placing the Buddha against the main door.9. According to the text, a brown egg .A. may invite the evil eyeB. is not a sign of good luckC. can bring people happinessD. is more delicious than ordinary ones10. What does the author tell us in the last paragraph?A. Learn how to get good luck.B. Learn more symbols of good luck.C. Try hard to build up our confidence.D. Rely on ourselves rather than the luck symbols.DWhen people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That’s a hard one, don’t you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred(仇恨), it’s definitely not possible. Well, that’s what some people say.But you know what I think? There is hope. And you find happiness everywhere —old couples who’ve been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties —just to gain attention. We’re so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life’s all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry. And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.Most of us are always depressed and unhappy. Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely. All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations (挫折). And maybe, just maybe, they’ll turn into your best friends. They’ll make you stronger, they’ll help you face reality and they’ll teach you to value the little things in life.Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can’t find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on.“FIND” happiness —we all think it’s some sort of destination. We keep “looking” for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn’t really something that we can “find”. It’s not a destination, it’s not something you find along the road of life; it’s a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality.So here are your questions:Are you happy?Have you found what you are looking for?Do you think life is hard?Have a great day, and I hope you’re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, but I hopeyou find the strength to face whatever it gives you.11. What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?A. Hard.B. Easy.C. Possible.D. Impractical.12. According to the third paragraph, many of the author’s peer s .A. are popular and admiringB. have a bad attitude to lifeC. suffer from extreme povertyD. are very generous and wealthy13. Why do most people feel very unhappy?A. They might live a poor life.B. They have difficulty getting best friends.C. They fail to value friendship with others.D. They lack the courage to face difficulties.14. Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?A. Happiness is an attitude.B. Happiness is too unreal to feel.C. Happiness is a kind of destination.D. Happiness means that everything goes right.15 The author’s purpose in writing this article is to tell us .A. what happiness isB. where happiness isC. why we feel unhappyD. who controls our happiness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。
