2016-2017学年广东省清远市清城区高三（上）期末英语试卷（B卷）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．A1. Signs of a global economic recovery are glimmering, but are they enough to account for taking a major vacation? Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets． One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasn't yet been hit by the price inflation that comes with mass popularity． To help travelers in search of value, we've assembled, with the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while they're still cheap．UkraineIts name translates as "land on the edge", and this year Ukraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history． Visitors can enjoy its cultural wealth, the warmth of its people, and the fact that their daily spending is below $50 （307 yuan）．The country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars． It's the kind of travel experience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories．South KoreaSouth Korea is a visitor﹣friendly country． Not only can budget travelers find the basics﹣from hotel rooms to great meals ﹣ at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other services, especially for visitors． For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination． A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day．TurkeyTurkey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now． In the last decade, the country's tourism facilities has grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub． This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer．EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, like Sharm El Sherk, are as relaxing as they ever were ﹣and also less stressful for your wallet． "The overall sentiment is that resort areas like Sharm El Sheik are very safe, " said Tony Cardoza, president of a US travel agency, in an interview with CNN． "But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that haven't seen as much civil unrest．" That preference has made Egypt a buyer's market． Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds． "Clients going now have been able to get pictures of themselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocking the view, " Cardoza said．（1）What can South Korea especially provide for the tourists？________A rich historyB free servicesC ancient ruinsD free hotels．（2）If you are interested in history， you can go to________．A Ukraine & EgyptB Ukraine & South KoreaC South Korea & EgyptD Turkey & Ukraine．（3）What is the advantage of Egypt， compared to other three countries？________A lower priceB much saferC fewer touristsD less stressful．2. There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek． Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home． On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed． With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence． So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last． He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes． Please carry them out without fail．""My first desire is that, " said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin．" After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected．" The king continued, "My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin．" Alexander's favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart． "Oh, King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled． But tell us why do you make such strange wishes? "Alexander took a deep breath and said, "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt． I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies． They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death． So let people not take life for granted．""The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me． I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me． Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth．""And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty﹣handed into this world and empty﹣handed out of this world．" With these words, the King closed his eyes． Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last．（1）The first paragraph suggests that Alexander________．A wanted to leave the world as he came empty﹣handedB realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at allC was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealthD regarded his conquests， his great army，his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things．（2）The underlined word "clutches" in Paragraph 3 means "________"．A sentenceB attentionC controlD shadow．（3）The author intends to________．A tell us the story of AlexanderB stress the power of Alexander theGreat C persuade people to realized what Alexander said D introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander．（4）What would be the best title of the passage？________A The Death of AlexanderB The Greed of AlexanderCD The Life of Alexander3. If you look outside, you probably will see some kind of insect． If your first instinct is to kill it, take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment． Entomologists, scientists who study insects, estimate that there are more than 800, 000 species of insects found throughout the world． Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful． Mosquitoes, for example, are considered harmful． They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease． Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year．However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species． Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain． Many differentbirds, reptiles, fish and even plants eat insects． There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat． These insects are considered delicious food and prized for their high protein, mineral, and vitamin content． Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk, wax, and honey．Of all the insects, perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate（授粉） the plants they visit． Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that pollinate many crops． In fact, nearly one﹣third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us, ________． You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings．（1）According to the passage， the most important type of insects are________．A insects that are eaten by birds， reptiles and fishB insects that travel around and pollinate plantsC insects that harm mosquitoes and stop the spread ofdisease D insects that are eaten by people in many countries．（2）According to the passage， insects are eaten in some parts of the worldbecause________．A they are nutritiousB they are available to cookC they are easy tobreed D they are free．（3）According to the author， the sentence in the last paragraph "you should not automatically reach for the bug spray．" means________．A you should not keep insects as petsB you should not breed insects for theirbenefit C you should not catch insects for pleasure D you should not kill insectswithout thinking．（4）The main purpose of this passage is________．A to explain why it is cruel to kill bugsB to convince people that insects are nutritiousC to describe the beneficial contributions of insectsD to make people aware of endangered insect species．4. The name sounds funny but the idea is no joke: it's a personal toilet called the pee﹣pool, Anders Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, is the inventor of the pee﹣pool．He became interested in the idea of sanitation after taking part in a research project on the social and political development of cities, One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets, He wanted to do something to help, So working with others, he started the project in 2005, and the next year started a company called Peepoolple．The toilet is a single﹣use bag made of environmentally friendly plastics, The inside is treated with urea （尿素）, a chemical commonly used as fertilizer, The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants The sanitation process can be as soon as a couple of hours or as long as two to four weeks , You can just bury it in a pot and grow whatever you like．The company expects to start selling the bags in August in Kenya and Bangladesh, but it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now, Full production could reach about half a million bags a day and people may be able to buy the pee﹣pool in countriesVietnam, Bangladesh, etc．The United Nations says more than two and a half billion people around the world do not have good sanitation, Many have no choice but to use the outdoors, which is not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to people's health, Each year, poor sanitation leads to three fifths of those people getting an infectious disease which on average causes one out of 1, 000 patients to die．Jack Smith, the founder of the World Toilet Organization, says " ________is quite an unacceptable situation given the fact that we are living in the modem world, and strangely, many of them own televisions, phones but have no toilet．"（1）What was the original purpose of Anders Wilhelmson in starting the company？________A To protect the local environmentB To earn a lot of money from the projectC To do research on the social developmentD To help solve the problem of lack of toilets in developing countries．（2）What can be learned about the pee﹣pool from the passage？________A It can be used over againB Its sanitation process doesn't last longC It works better in summer than in winterD It should be buried in a pot after being used．（3）The fifth paragraph is written mainly to tell us that________．A poor sanitation may cause many problemsB many people don't care for the environmentC many people get ill from using the outdoorsD quite a number ofpeople die from poor sanitation．（4）The underlined word "This "in the last paragraph probably refers to________．A the outdoors being damagedB many places being short of toiletsC many people having TVs and phonesD many people getting an infectious disease．第二节：（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）5. During a research experiment a marine（海洋）biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small fish into the tank．（1）_______The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass（玻璃纤维）into the tank， creating two separate parts． She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of small fish on the other．Again， the shark quickly attacked． This time， however， the shark hit the fiberglass divider and bounced off．（2）_______ Meanwhile， the small fish swam around unharmedin the second part． Eventually， about an hour into the experiment， the shark gave up．This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks．（3）_______ Eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether．The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider， but the shark didn't attack．（4）_______ So， they swam wherever they wished， free from harm．Like the shark in the story， many of us， after experiencing setbacks and failures，emotionally give up and stop trying．（5）_______ In other words， we continue to see a barrier in our heads， even when no 'real' barrier exists between where we are and wherewe want to go．A． At the same time， the shark tried again and again．B． We believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past， we will always be unsuccessful．C． The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the small fish．D． It kept repeating this behavior every few minutes fruitlessly．E． We should keep on trying even if we meet obstacles．F． Each time， the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the small fish．G． As you would expect， the shark quickly swam around the tank， attacked and ate the smaller fish．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）6.

She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three- and four-year-olds spend the next hour dancing to “La Vaca Lola”, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets (木偶) to voice what they like and don’t like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (gran de) or small (pequeño).She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about £9) but then I show her “La Vaca Lola” on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent.The wish to enroll (使……加入) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when.Then I read Edward Luce's The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy combined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally (理想地), immediately.I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council (others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes —the number-one language on the list. When she started to sing “Incy Wincy Spider” in Spanish and English — helped by a Spanish nursery worker — our decision was made.4. What c an we learn about the author’s daughter from the first paragraph?A. She has learned Spanish for one month.B. She learns Spanish by dancing to songs.C. She is the oldest student in her Spanish class.D. She uses finger puppets to make her voice heard.5. How did the author feel about her daughter’s class at first?A. Proud.B. Doubtful.C. Delighted.D. Surprised.6. Why did the author ask her daughter to learn a foreign language?A. To equip her for her future.B. To develop her interest in singing.C. To encourage her to have belief in herself.D. To prepare her for the coming school education.7. What made the author decide to enroll her daughter in Spanish lessons?A. Her daughter’s great interest.B. Her daughter’s perfo rmance.C. The fast-growing economy.D. The nursery worker’s suggestion.CAbundant evidence suggests that sitting down for long periods is bad for health, and that working standing up is thus better for you. But is it better for the job? A piece of research just published in Psychological Science by Yaniv Mama of Ariel University and his colleagues, suggests it might be.Standing takes more effort than sitting does, and might therefore be expected to require more mental attention. The muscles involved have to be monitored constantly by the brain. Psychological experiments suggest that attention is finite (有限的). Standing might thus be expected to reduce the amount of it available to be given elsewhere. Another view, though, is that standing creates mild stress — and experiments have also shown that, when people are under stress, their cognitive (认知的) performance improves.To distinguish between the two, Dr Mama put some volunteers through what is known as the Stroop test while they were standing or sitting. The Stroop test requires participants to state the printed colour of words that are themselves the names of colours. In some cases, the meaning of the word and the colour in which it is printed are the same. In others, they are different. Decades of experiments have shown that it takes a volunteer longer to state the colour of the ink when it is different from the meaning of the word than it does when they are very similar, and that the gap (差距) can be increased still further by imposing (施加) other mental demands at the same time.The result was that those who were standing when they took the test did a lot better at it than those who were sitting. The gap between the two scores of the standing volunteers was about 100 milliseconds. Between those sitting, it was about 120 milliseconds. The old army order of “stand to attention” thus seems true. And office workers who choose to stand may be increasing their output as well as their health.8. What does the research published in Psychological Science focus on?A. Standing up is good for health.B. Sitting down for long damages health.C. Sitting down slows down people’s mind.D. Standing up improves people’s productivity.9. What have experiments shown about people under mild stress?A. They think more clearly.B. They can’t stand for long.C. They can’t focus on their work.D. They have more mental problems.10. What can be learned about the Stroop test?A. The participants had to write.B. The participants had to stand all the time.C. The participants had to identify some colours.D. The participants had to match colours with words.11. W hy does the author mention the old army order of “stand to attention”?A. To explain its origin.B. To express his doubt.C. To praise the old army.D. To stress its truthfulness.DOn April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend. Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave. When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested. It was not until later that day that they were let go.The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral. People across the US were outraged. Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today. This incident is just one example of implicit bias (内隐偏见), something that is part of human nature.Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race. Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences.Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society. There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago. Implicit bias affects the justice system and our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities.Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day. However, critics and experts have said that such training is done “for show” rather than to promote change.To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause. It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures.12. What does the underlined word “outraged” in Paragraph 2 probably m ean?A. Very angry.B. Quite curious.C. Quite puzzled.D. Very delighted.13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The nature of implicit bias.B. The examples of implicit bias.C. The basic concepts of implicit bias.D. The negative effects of implicit bias.14. What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?A. It will be a shame for Starbucks.B. It will be a meaningless practice.C. It will raise the police’s reputation.D. It will raise public awareness of anti-bias.15. What might many experts agree with?A. Starbucks should be closed.B. Implicit bias should be ignored.C. Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias.D. Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen.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。

Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge（报仇）.He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”41. What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?A. He remained hanging helplessly on the tree.B. He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.C. He was climbing down quickly but carefully.D. He shouted loudly for help but no one helped.42. How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?A. He was nervous.B. He kept silent.C. He was angry.D. He felt surprised.43. What do you think motivated the man to climb down?A. Courage.B. Assistance.C. Carefulness.D. Revenge.44. From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one .A. on the tree for the longest timeB. hidden in the middle of a treeC. on the very top of a treeD. exposed to sunlight less often45.The best title of this passage will be _______.A. Anger saves one’s life.B. Wisdom does count.C. Skill and strength count.D. Anger is the biggest enemy.BDear Alcohol,You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.Do y ou remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” th ey said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him a gain. And it’s all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous46. What is author’s purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readersB. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The researchers considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.51. What is the best title of the passage?A. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.B. The more lighthearted a person is, the happier he is.C. The older a person is, the more clever he grows.D. The older a person is, the happier he grows.52. We can learn from the research that ________.A. only when people get older, will they feel happierB. older people usually have no worries in their lifeC. stress levels among the youngest are the highest of allD. older people are more likely to be thankful in life53. According to the researchers, what is probably the reason why people grow happier when theyget older?A. When people get older, they can’t remember bad experiences.B. When people get older, they have no young children to care about.C. When people get older, they learn to adjust their feelings.D. When people get older, they don’t care about their feelings.54. What do you think the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is?A. A Gallup organization.B. A popular science magazine.C. A university in New York.D. A research institution55. What would the writer probably deal with in next paragraph?A. Advice to the young people on how to keep happy.B. Advice to the old people on how to live longer.C. Why women at all ages are more sad, stressed and worried.D. Why people will grow happier with their ages.DThree boys and three girls were going to Lauderdale, Florida, dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New Y ork was left behind them. When the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice a man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age.Shortly after a snack at the Howard Johnson’s outside Washington, they went back to the bus, and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“We’re going to Florida,” she said brightly. “I hear it’s really beautiful.”“It is,” he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.“Want some wine？” she said.He smiled and took a full glass. After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. His name was Vingo and had been in jail in New York for the past four years. Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.“When I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, she could just forget me; I’d understand. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and there’s a big oak tree just as you come into town. Last week, I wrote her again. I told her that if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I’d go on through.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Now they were 10 miles from Brunswick, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.56. What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey?A. The Howard Johnson’s.B. A poorlydressed man.C. Golden beaches.D. A mysterious man with a mask.57. It can be inferred from the short conversation between the girl and Vingo that ________.A. he had forgotten all his pastB. he hated talking with strangersC. he was a dangerous prisoner escaping from jailD. he was a man of few words but kind of friendly58. Vingo wrote a letter to his wife before starting off to ________.A. ask for her forgivenessB. beg her to allow him back homeC. tie a yellow handkerchief to the oak treeD. make sure if she was still in love with him59. Why did all the young people shout with joy when they arrived in Brunswick?A. They were only 5 miles away from their destination.B. They were surprised to see so many welcoming people.C. They were sure that Vingo’s wife was expecting him home.D. The oak tree was still standing there welcoming Vingo back home.60. What can be the best title for the story?A. Going HomeB. An Oak TreeC. Yellow HandkerchiefsD. A Bus TripEIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.61. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Students buy the time of their showers.B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.62. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means _________.A. faultB. advantageC. pityD. perfection63. Since the new system has performed, ________ of water can be saved.A. a quarterB. one thirdC. one halfD. two thirds64. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. t he new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessB. the new operation can solve the water crisisC. a similar operation will be set in other universitiesD. most students spend less than half an hour showering in the bathhouse.65. In which column can you find this passage?A. Culture.B. Society.C. Campus Life.D. Lifestyle.第II卷（共50分）第一节阅读表达（共7小题，70题2分，其余各题每题3分，满分20分）阅读下面短文并用英语回答问题, 然后将答案写到相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）（1）Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. Your active vocabulary contains the words you understand and use in speech and in print, and your passive vocabulary includes the words you do not use but understand. Although children learn more new words than adults, the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased. Improve your language skills with daily exposure to new words, their pronunciations and meanings.（2）________. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.（3）Find a new word every day. If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.（4）Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word you encounter. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.（5）Explain the meaning of the word so that you can connect it to something memorable. Use imagery and personal relevance(关联). If you have just learned that the word “obstinate” means stubborn and unyielding, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as obstinate in his refusal.（6）Use your new word in speech and in writing. Tell a friend about your boss obstinately refusing to reschedule your vacation time. E-mail your sister about how your cat is obstinate about sleeping on your pillow. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem clumsy and forced, but the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.（7）Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is, or to ask for the definition of a new word you have used. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.66. What is the passage mainly about? (no more than 6 words)_______________________________________________________________67. Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 3 words).We can improve our language skills by________ to new words, their pronunciations andmeanings every day.68. Fill in the blank in paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)________________________________________________________________69. What should we do if there is no unfamiliar word in our daily reading? (no more than 7 words)________________________________________________________________70. What does the underlined word “it”in paragraph 4 probably refer to ? (no more than 3words )___________________________________________________________________71. What’s the purpose of the example of the word “obstinate”( no more than 20 words)___________________________________________________________________72. Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 in English.第二节书面表达（共30分）假如你叫李华，打算毕业后到美国留学，请给你的美国朋友Tom写一封英文电子邮件，内容主要包括：1. 留美原因—增长见识，体验文化。

ASigns of a global economic recovery are glimmering, but are they enough to account for taing a major vacation? Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets. One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasn’t yet been hit by the price inflation that comes with mass popularity. To help travelers in search of value, we’ve assembled, w ith the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while they’re still cheap.UraineIts name translates as “land on the edge”, and this year Uraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history. Visitors can enjoy its cultural wealth, the warmth of its people, and the fact that their daily spending is below $50 (307 yuan).The country’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars. It’s the ind of travel eperience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories.South oreaSouth orea is a visitor-friendly country. Not only can budget travelers find the basics —from hotel rooms to great meals — at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free pars, discounts and other services, especially for visitors. For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination. A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day. TureyTurey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now. In the last decade, the country’s tourism facilities has grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub. This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beconing beaches is a destination to watch this summer.EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, lie Sharm El Sher, are as relaing as they ever were — and also less stressful for your wallet. “The overall sent iment is that resort areas lie Sharm El Shei are very safe,” said Tony Cardoa, president of a US travel agency, in an interview with CNN. “But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that haven’t seen as much civil unrest.” That preference has made Egypt a buyer’s maret. Low demand also has another benefit smaller crowds. “Clients going now have been able to get pictures of themselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocing the view,” Cardoa said.21. What can South orea especially provide for the tourists?A. rich historyB. free servicesC. ancient ruinsD. free hotels22. If you are interested in history, you can go to ______________.A. Uraine & EgyptB. Uraine & South oreaC. South orea & EgyptD. Turey & Uraine23. What is the advantage of Egypt, compared to other three countries?A. lower priceB. much saferC. fewer touristsD. less stressfulBThere is a very instructive incident involving the life of Aleander the Great, ing of Gree. Aleander, after conquering many ingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it too him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Aleander realied his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”“My first desire is that,” said Aleander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The ing continued, “My third and last wish i s that both my hands should be ept hanging out of my coffin.” Aleander’s favourite general issed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, ing, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you mae such strange wishes?”Aleander too a deep breath and said, “I would lie the world to now of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realie that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not tae life for granted.”“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard isto tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot tae anything with me. Let people realie that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to now that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the ing closed his eyes.

Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful. Mosquitoes, for eample, are considered harmful. They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause sin pain and spread disease. Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species.
