Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “Itdoesn't matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don't think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I'm very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town，” one of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn't come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.( )15.That day Mark Twain went to the town ________．A. to see one of his friendsB. because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thereC. because he wanted to do something there for his writingD. to see one of his relatives( )16.The waiters felt sorry because ________．A. they did something wrong to Mark TwainB. their hotel was too smallC. the room was not very cleanD. there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twain's room( )17.All the people present laughed heartily because ________．A. the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn't come into the wrong roomB. the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain's room numberC. Mark Twain made a jokeD. Mark Twain gave the waiters some nice presents( )18.From the story we know ________．A. no mosquitoes troubled Mark Twain in the nightB. the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after Mark Twain well at nightC. Mark Twain didn't have a good rest that nightD. there were no mosquitoes in the hotel any longerCHundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.( )19.According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.( )20.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ________．A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country( )21.To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?A. Two.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.( )22.According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?A. You often play football with your friends after school.B. Your teacher has got a cold.C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.D. The bike in front of your house is lost.DAbout five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels (控制板) on the ground rather t han the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of superstrong glass tha t would offer vehicles the tractions (牵引力) they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway c reates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roadsto driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100，000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smartroad parking lot in the coming spring.( )23.In the inventors' opinion, the Solar Roadway ________.A. is too expensive to build at presentB. costs no more money than current roadsC. can provide as many data as present computersD. will bring them a large sum of money( )24.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________”．A. the panelsB. the inventorsC. the researchersD. the vehicles( )25.It can be inferred from the text that ________．A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB. $100，000 is only enough to build a smartroad parking lotC. the Solar Roadway is not available for gaspowered carsD. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere第二节、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省东莞市南开实验学校高二英语上学期入学考试试题(无答案)
广东省东莞市南开实验学校2016-2017学年高二英语上学期入学考试试题（无答案）第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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。
AThere seems to be some truth in the old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. "A new study in the Chinese population said Wednesday that people who eat fresh fruit on most days are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than people who rarely eat fresh fruit.The findings, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, came from a seven-year study of half a million adults in China, where fresh fruit consumption is much lower than in countries like the U.K. or the United States.Researchers from the University of Oxford and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a large, nationwide study of 500,000 adults across Chin a, tracking health for seven years through death records and electronic hospital records of illness. The partici pants did not have a history of cardiovascular （心血管）diseases oranti-hypertensive （抗高血压）treatments when they first joined the study. The study found that eating a 100-gram portion of fruit per day was associated with about one-third less cardiovascular mortality（心血管死亡率）."The association between fruit consumption and cardiovascular risk seems to be stronger in China, where many still eat little fruit, than in high-income countries where daily consumption of fruit is more common," study author Huaidong Du of the University of Oxford said.Also, fruit in China is almost exclusively consumed raw, whereas much of the fruit in high-income countries is processed, and many previous studies combined fresh and processed fruit, said Du.Senior author Zhengming Chen, professor at the University of Oxford, noted that it's difficult to know whether the lower risk in people who eat more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect. "If it is, then widespread consumption of fresh fruit in China could prevent about half a million cardiovascular deaths a year, including 200,000 before age 70, and even larger numbers of non-fatal strokes and heart attacks," Chen added.21. According to the passage, we can learn that __________.A. The study was conducted internationally among 500,000 adults.B. Daily consumption of fruit is less common in low-income countries .C. Chinese will not die of cardiovascular disea ses if they eat enough fresh fruit.D. It knows for sure that the lower risk in people eating more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect.22. What’s the main idea of thi s passage?A. It is suggested to eat processed fruit rather than raw fruit.B. Male are more likely to suffer from heart attack and stroke than female.C. Research findings link lower heart diseases to more fresh fruit eating.D. The government needs to prevent people from heart attack and stroke .23. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A book review. B .A health report.C. A class presentation.D. A medical advertisement.BA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “Ido n ot want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one –in France and another –in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man.However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It‘s just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”24. The man ordered three beers all the time because _______.A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub.B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much.C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond.D. this would help him become a local celebrity.25. We can infer from the passage that______.A. news traveled fast in the town.B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinkerC. the man’s brothers liked drinking beer very muchD. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking26. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because ________.A. he would earn less moneyB. he thought the man should order three beersC. he thought one of the man’s brothers had passed awayD. the man decided to drink two beers27. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.A. gratitudeB. appreciationC. surpriseD. sympathyCMany fruits and vegetables would disappear from grocery store shelves if it weren’t for honeybees. Almonds, for example, are a $2.5 billion industry in California, and almond growers depend on honeybees to pollinate(授粉） the crop. No honeybees would mean no almonds. Many berries (like blackberries and strawberries) need bees, as do vegetables like cucumbers and squash. And don’t forget tree crops like apples, oranges and peaches. Watermelon and cantaloupes depend on bees, too. In fact, approximately 15 percent of the food Americans eat comes direct ly from honeybee pollination. Another 15 percent comes from animals that eat foods that bees pollinate. In other words, close to a third of the food that Americans eat currently requires honeybee pollination. Honeybee pollination is so important that bee farmers actually truck their bees from orchard to orchard and farm to farm to help pollinate crops.A honeybee starts the honey making process by visiting a flower. With luck, the flower contains nectar, and the bee sucks some of the nectar up with a little straw built into its mouth. Most flower nectars are like sugar water; there is a little sugar mixed with water. Nectars can contain other beneficial substances as well. To make honey, two things happen.The first thing uses enzymes. One enzyme that bees produce turns the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose. Another enzyme turns some of the glucose into an acid and hydrogen peroxide. By making honey acidic, it kills any bacteria that get into the honey.The second thing uses evaporation to get rid of the extra water. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, so that honey is only about 18 percent water. Bees evaporate the extra water by putting little drops of nectar in the hive and fanning it with their wings.Honey is a very stable food. It naturally resists molds, fungi and other bacteria, allowing it to last for years without refrigeration.28. Bees are always trucked between different places in order to _____________.A. lay eggs in all the orchards to farmsB. mate with bees living in different zonesC. help bee farmers deal with harmful insectsD. to pollinate flowers or plants grown in different places.29. How does a honeybee suck the nectar from flowers?A. through a little straw built into its mouth.B. with the help of the bee farmer.C. by drinking the water that contains nectar.D. by fanning it with the wings.30. Which one is the way mentioned in the passage to make honey?A. to evaporate most of the moisture in the nectar.B. to kill all the bacteria in the nectar.C. to expose it to sunlight for some time.D. to mix the nectar with some sugar.31. Why honey can be kept for a long time without being cooled?A. Because there is no bacteria in it.B. Because it can stand bad weather conditions.C. Because it protects itself against bacteria naturally.D. Because it is well-preserved in containers.DWhen Andrew was born in Jiangsu, China, his father opened Panda Inn, a sit-down restaurant in Pasadena, California, serving family foods fast and hot.Andrew’s father had taught him to take on a new challenge only after mastering the previous one. It took ten years before Andrew felt he was ready to deal with the all-American challenge: the fast-food industry.The first Panda Express opened in a S outhern California mall in 1983. As Pandas began to increase, Peggy, who has a PhD in electrical engineering, gave up her career to join the company full-time, first as president, then as CEO. Today, Peggy and Andrew share the title of chairman.They are big fans of Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book they require all job applicants to rea d before their interview. “Success is a byproduct of our habits,”says Andrew. “We’re very focused on learning how to do the right things well and completely so that what all of us do actually makes an Impact.” Doing the right thing includes paying more than the minimum wage and part of health care for all 17,300 employees, including part-timers. Some warned that this would cause financial problems. But not for the Panda Express. “If you’re too focused on the results and try to develop shortcuts, you’re going to have to pay it back later somehow,” Andrew says.They take seriously the concept that to lead is to serve. It means helping employees improve their livelihood and, in the process, learn to live a fuller life. In the end, Andrew says, “They are better off financially, but they’re also smarter because they’re curious and learning. They take care of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When all of us do these things well, there’s a better chance that we will treat the cust omers better.”32. The writer mentions Peggy, who has a PhD, in order to show that Panda Express______.A. needed support from AmericansB. was increasing very rapidlyC. needed wise leadersD. attracted a lot of talented people33. We may infer from the passage that______ .A. Focus on doing the right thing and the results will take care of themselves.B. Chinese food is becoming more and more popular in AmericaC. Panda Express has never met with financial problemsD. Andrew and Peggy are good examples of companies in the US34. Andrew and Peggy share the same idea that ______.A. the habit of reading Stephen Covey’s book leads to successB. they focus on the results and developing shortcutsC. a good leader must be a good servant as wellD. the employees should help their customers improve their livelihood35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Panda Express’s success in fast-food industryB. the effect that Stephen’s book has on Panda ExpressC. the challenge of the fast-food industry in the USD. Panda Express’s philosophy of management第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and boosts our physical health in surprising and astonishing ways. ___36___Here are some amazing scientifically-proven benefits of being hooked on music.Music reduces depressionMore than 350 million people suffer from depression around the world.

Foreign students’ situationLife in space will certainly take some getting used to! In a typical workday, crew members in the space station will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals, and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station:FoodSpace food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food. But now the station is equipped with microwave ovens and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables and ice cream!SleepEach crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away! That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!ExerciseExercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscl es and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.ClothingAstronauts will have to wear special space suits while travelling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed, pressurized space suit is required for space walks.Personal CleanlinessBrushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water.11. How many hours does astronauts keep awake in the space station?A．14 hours. B．12 hours. C．8.5 hours. D．15.5 hours.12. What do astronauts eat aboard the space station nowadays?A．More freeze-dried food. B．More like food on Earth.C．More adjust astronauts’ taste.D．More frozen food and ice cream.13. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Astronauts brushing teeth can’t be a challenge.B．Astronauts wear special space suits in space station.C．Astronauts take some measures to guarantee daily life.D．Astronauts’ muscles have to work much in space.Several years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. The single factor contributing to this change is undoubtedly the internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.“In years that have gone by, the biggest stars were recommended and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an idol,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release. “From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars document their hobbies to an adoring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful gain fame and fortune. For every success there are a hundred others who never get off the starting block. This is why despite the popularity of vloggers, some young people chose to follow careers that do n’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He told the career website Zippia that his job allows him to express his passion, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.14. What helps create pop stars of today?A．The computer. B．The mobile phones.C．The Hollywood studios. D．The internet and social media.15. What does the Tesco Mobile spokesperson’s words mean?A．The vloggers cover quantities of fields.B．The vloggers have achieved fame soon.C．The vloggers must be trained by the studios.D．The vloggers are popular for their unordinary life.16. According to the passage, why does David Leshaw create his online platform?A．To earn fame. B．To make money.C．To pursue his dream. D．To share his hobbies.As a short-distance track and field runner at high school and college, I often found myself wondering which of the eight or sometimes nine lanes (跑道) on the track was the fastest. It was conventional wisdom that the middle lanes — lanes three through six — were the best.This idea, in a way, is baked into the rules of track and field. In events with multiple heats — from the college level all the way to the Olympics — the people who run faster times in earlier heats are assigned to middle lanes in later heats. In other words, the fastest runners are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment (分配).Using 20 years of track and field data from the International Association of Athletics Federations, I found that the long-held beliefs about lane advantages are not supported by the data. And in fact, for the 200-meter sprint (冲刺), the evidence suggests that lanes often regarded as the least desirable are actually the fastest.In most races, the fastest runners are assigned to the middle lanes according to the competition rules. Not surprisingly, the fastest runners — who are in the middle lanes — often win. Are these racers winning because those lanes are the fastest or because those runners tend to be the fastest?Next time you're watching any of the shorter track and field events in the Olympics, listen and see if anyone repeats the old adage that the middle lanes are the fastest. The data shows this isn't true, so if someone in the outside lanes takes a surprise gold, you'll know it is not because of their lane assignment, but because they were a slow qualifier (入围者).17. What was the traditional belief in the track and field lanes?A．All lanes were the same.B．The inner lanes were the best.C．The middle lanes were the best.D．The outside lanes were the best.18. How did the author get his finding?A．By referring to long term data.B．By using other research results.C．By watching the latest sprinters' competition.D．By experimenting which lane was the fastest.19. What does the underlined word “adage” probably mean in paragraph 5?A．Saying. B．Style.C．Package. D．Stage.20. Which of the following does the author approve of?A．Losing racers tend to be in the slowest lane.B．Winning racers tend to be in the fastest lane.C．Winning racers often run fastest.D．Racers win because their lanes are the fastest.Recent months has seen the topic of AI Chatbots rushes into the forefront of the news and other media. But one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations. 21 . Don’t use chatbots for factual answersGoogle and Wiki pedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time. 22 .That average might be correct or massively wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might create a plausible-sounding answer.23When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had taken in a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before.Do know what chatbots are best atChatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrency(加密货币) as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed information from Reddit, including a forum ca lled “Explain Like I’m Five.” 24 . That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner.Don’t get frustrated and give up25 . The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have came up some ideas for you to research further.It was a bright May afternoon along the coast.
