As they talked, the young woman could almost smell the purple lilacs (丁香) hanging outside her parents’ back door.Later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed t hose lilacs, he jumped up from his chair. “I know where we can find you all the lilacs you want, he said. “Get the kids and co me on.”So off they went, driving on the country roads of northern Rho de Island. Eventually, he stopped the car.“Come with me,” he said. “Over that hill is an old cave, and th ere are lilacs all around it. Go and pick a few.”The woman wandered among the lilacs. Carefully, she picked some out. She was in no hurry, enjoying each blossom as a r are and delicate treasure. Finally, though, they returned to the ir car for the trip home. When they were almost home, she su ddenly shouted to her husband, “Stop the car. Stop right here!”In a second, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a be autiful spring day, the patients were outdoors.The young woman found an elderly patient sitting in her wheel chair, alone.

Before that, their idea of entertainment involved drivin g to the countryside to see how the neighbors’crops were gro wing.My parents eventually built a fish house and set it up on Woo d Lake, 30 minutes away in Wisconsin. Our favorite fishing sp ot was across the lake. Every time we arrived, somebody had usually made a clear path across the ice. The fish houses were together at the best fishing spots, forming a neighborhood of sorts.Our house was large enough, so all four of us could fish at the same time. You’d think ice fishing would be cold, but we had a small stove inside, and we put snow around the bottom of th e house to keep the wind from blowing underneath.Besides the thrill of watching your bobber (浮标) dip below the water, lunch was always the highlight of the day. Mom would fry pork or hamburgers on a grill. The smell o f cooking meat was the envy of every other fish house in the n eighborhood. Our days passed with a mix of quiet time and fa mily chatter. We talked about the farm or school. And of cours e, we shared fishing advice. My brother and I also took breaks and explored the snow and ice. We were careful not to make much noise on the ice close to the houses, as we all were sur e that it would scare the fish away.Part of the fun of ice fishing was learning to understand and tr ust the sounds of the frozen lake. People who have never trie d ice fishing may not think it sounds very exciting, but it was f or us. Fishing trips were an adventure. We didn’t always catch fish, but we always brought home great memories of a day wi th family and friends28. Why did the author’s parents turn to ice fishing?A.

What can we know about the people around the family’s fi sh house?A. They always envied each other.B. They never talked to each other.C. They shared lunch with each other.D. They shared the hobby of ice fishing.31. What did the author think could be the best part of ice fishi ng?A. Surprise and adventure.B. Exploring the snow and ice.C. The excitement of catching fish.D. Quality time with family and friends.DNext time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partners, friends, siblings (兄弟姐妹) or colleagues, remember they could be helping to make y ou smarter.New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mat es and intellectually challenging (考验智慧的) careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief th at intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.Current scientific consensus (共识) suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with envi ronmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a pa rt up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psycholog y at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that peop le can upgrade their own intelligence throughout their lives. H e believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is important as “the brain seems to be rather li ke a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. How ever, the opposite is also true - so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually disabled risk seein g their IQ levels fall as a result.Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 6 5 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright 10 -year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a 5-10-point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equallybright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ c ould gain 6-8 points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special e ducation treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early lif e experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remai ning 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise th eir IQ, or allow it to fall, by 10 points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with brighter frie nds, and find an intellectually challenging job.32. What did people use to believe according to the passage?A. People’s IQ levels fall as they age.B. It is wise to share family members’ views.C. People cannot improve their intelligence during adulthood.D. Doing something challenging is good for one’s intelligence.33. The underlined word “upgrade” in Paragraph 4 probably m eans “”.A. controlB. trainC. keepD. improve34. Which can help improve one’s intelligence according to Pr ofessor Flynn?A. Making many friends.B. Staying with smarter people.C. Doing exercise every day.D. Learning from brothers or sisters.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To inform.B. To advertise.C. To entertain.D. To persuade.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2018_2019学年高二英语上学期第十五次双周考试题word版本
2018---2019学年高二年级第十五次双周考英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AHave you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music? Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.Depression is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.21.The passage is mainly about __________.A.what meanings music hasB. how we control our moodsC. how music affects our moodsD. what kind of music we listen to22.According to the passage, playing music in restaurants is to __________.A. welcome the customersB. make customers feel goodC. make customers danceD. make customers feel powerful23. From the passage, we can know that __________.A. most of us suffer depression all the timeB. most of us respond to music in different waysC. music can be a good way to connect with othersD. any kind of music will help us improve our moods24. According to the passage, which kind of music can relax ourselves from a long day’s work?A. Soft music.B. Classical music.C. Sad music.D. Rock music.BDid you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson, our computers say something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones. A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people. On the other hand, pictures showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure in your life. Cityscapes, pictures of cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic and happy people who feel even better thinking about the places they’ve visited or they want to visit.Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young. Cartoons or drawings show that you are a multitasker, someone who does many things at once. You have many responsibilities, but you deal with them well. That's one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.Then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? According to Dawson, a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from becoming too personal.25.A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone_______.A. has a strong wish to succeedB. is confident about himself or herselfC. cares only about himself or herselfD. works very well with others26. Those who look on the bright side of things are likely to have wallpaper like_______.A. pictures of nature and natural sceneryB. city views or pictures of animalsC. pictures showing their past successesD. photos of staying with friends27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Where to Look for Your Computer WallpaperB. Computer Wallpaper Shows Your PersonalityC. How to Place Wallpaper on Your ComputerD. Computer Wallpaper Interests EveryoneCIf you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times”that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when theywere all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.28.The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when _______.A.we stay with our family, friends and co-workersB. we hear strangers say something to usC. we get through hard times in lifeD. we make some big mistakes29.The underlined phrase “took heed of”has the similar meaning with “_____.”A.acted according toB. had some doubtC. held on toD. got used to30.The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s because_________.A.he struggled to prove that they were wrongB.he thought they were encouraging himC.he was angry with what they saidD.he didn’t want to let them down31.After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _________.A.we can use encouraging words to help others outB.having a positive attitude is important in lifeC.never give up until we winD.we must believe in ourselves rather than othersDRobert Taylor, who was helpful in creating the Internet and the modern personal computer, has died. He was 85.“Any way you look at it, from kick-starting the Internet to launching the personal computer revolution, Bob Taylor was a key architect of our modern world,”Leslie Berlin, a historian at the Stanford University Silicon Valley Archives project, told the New York Times.In 1961, Taylor was a project manager for Nasa when he directed funding toDouglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute, who helped develop the modern computer mouse. Taylor was working for the Pentagon’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa) in 1966 when he instructed the creation of a single computer network to link Arpa-sponsored researchers at companies and institutions around the country. Taylor was frustrated that he had to use three separate terminals to communicate with the researchers through their computer systems.A few years later, Taylor went on to work at Xerox’s famous Palo Alto Research Center(Parc), where he shepherded a team that helped create the Alto, a pioneering personal computer, which supplied each researcher with an individual workstation instead of sharing time on a room-sized mainframe(主机). It was designed to use a graphical interface, which enabled the user to command the device through icons, windows and menus instead of typing text commands in computer language. The technology inspired Microsoft’s Windows software and the Apple computers.In the 1990s, Taylor ran the Systems Research Center in Palo Alto for Digital Equipment Corporation. The lab helped create Alta Vista, one of the first internet search engines. Taylor retired in 1996.In 1999, Taylor was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. In 2004, he and other Parc researchers were awarded the Draper prize from the National Academy of Engineering for development of “the first practical networked personal computers”.32.When was the creation of a single computer network produced?A.In 1961.B. In 1966.C. In 2004.D. In 1996.33.What can we infer about Alto from paragraph 4?A.It is a leading personal computer.B.It is designed to use a special menu.C.It has many advantages in personal computer.D.It provides each researcher with an individual workstation.34.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shepherded” in Paragraph 4?A.Guided.B. Undertook.C. Developed.D. Motivated.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.The Life of Robert Taylor.B.The Achievements of Robert Taylor.C.Robert Taylor: An Internet and Computer Pioneer.D.Robert Taylor’s Contributions to Personal Computer.笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

河南省中牟县第一高级中学2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第十次双周考试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AOnce upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald (绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked.The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last! At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and you’re the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here …”“And why does this happen?” the man asked.“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.21. Why did the man give up his job, home and friends?A. Because he possessed a variety of treasure.B. Because he devoted himself to a great test.C. Because he had to guard the treasure cave.D. Because he wanted to find the treasure cave.22. What did the man find when he showed his cave to the old man?A. All kinds of treasure.B. A chest with jewels and gold.C. A small emerald.D. A handful of jewels.23. What do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?A. They all found the cave empty at last.B. The old man freed them from its spell.C. They all filled the cave with the treasure they had.D. They thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.24. What can we learn from the text?A. Different people have different views.B. Treasure only belongs to those who possess it.C. Some people never learn what is really valuable.D. Purely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.BWalt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But，when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince, “Turn and peep, there’s blood within the shoe; The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.25. What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Such wonderful things.B. Other well-loved characters.C. Old fables.D. Cartoon movies.26. How did Cinderella get her name?A. The birds came up with it.B. It was given by Disney.C. It came from the word “ash”.D. She got it from her mother.27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.28. The moral of the original story is that ____________.A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment.B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.29. What does the author think of the Disney version?A.Excellent.B. OrdinaryC. Dull.D. Ridiculous.CThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. " And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!30. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________ .A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers31. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them32. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephantsDIf doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites”—the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily.Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.33.According to the text we know that______.A. breath varies from person to person based on food.B. your breath may give you away if you are not careful.C. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illness.D. trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers.34. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______.A. comfortable and convincing .B. traditional and reliable.C. accurate and competitive.D. quick and convenient.35. What can we infer from the text?A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases.D. Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第十二次双周考试题
2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第十二次双周考试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AAs you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging d ecisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even ha rder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are calle d peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyo ne’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. F or example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut cla ss with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to b e mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressur e, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the r ight thing to do.You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to“ch oose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why t hey say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do t hese things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it d ifficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.21. For whom is the passage most probably written?A .Students B. Parents C. Teachers D. Doctors.22.

D．Helping others who are in trouble.24. What is the topic of the passage?A．Friendship B．Making decisions C．Self-confidence D．Peer pressureBI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another s hot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from t hose in New York, “I’m having a dinner party” means: “I’m boo king a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.” Worse, i n Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, an d then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even m ore. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout; “Where are you go ing?” And it’s not like I can say I have some where to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not on ly that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went t o one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nige ria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s , a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world me ans Brooklyn and Queens in New Yorkers. But at Mallery’s, w hen I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual club.25. What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean ?A. choiceB. tryC. styleD. goal26. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New Yorkers?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash27. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusualB. Full of tricksC. Less costlyD. More int eresting28. What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from h er experience?A. Easy-goingB. Self-centred. C. Generous D. ConservativeCHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, sc ientists tried to find out how long the human could labor witho ut reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered th at blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows n o fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain o f Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftl y at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the b eginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired. Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from ou r mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes eve n further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satis faction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tensene ss, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itsel f seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions p roduce nervousness in the body.29.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a labour’s blood.B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.30. According to the author, which of the following can make s itting worker tired？A．Challenging mental work. B．Unpleasant emotions. C．Endless tasks. D．Physical labor.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas? A．He agrees with them. B．He doubts them.C．He argues against them. D．He hesitates to accept the m.32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energ eic, sitting workers need to ______.A．have some good blood B．enjoy their work C．exercise regularly D．discover fatigue toxinD“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “som e kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left h ome.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. Wh en Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to i nsects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had a lready created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their l anguage, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someo ne who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan bec ame the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs , baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, abug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from whic h comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that p eople use for listening secretly to others’ conversation. Since t he 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 19 40s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or oth er design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Ed ison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficul ties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in d eveloping a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a b ug’ in his invented record player.”33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.A. Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC. the word bug was still popularly used in English in the ninet eenth centuryD. both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century34. What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean________.A. Explanation.B. Finding.C. Origin.D. Fault.35. The passage is mainly concerned with________.A. the misunderstanding of the word bugB. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bugD. the special characterist ics of the word bug第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you wish to be a little more creative, you can pl ace birds, airplanes, etc., around the clouds.In the image give n alongside, you can see that a yellow clock has been used cr eatively to represent the sun. Similarly, you can use elements of home décor to add to the effect of the wall art.Décor Tip : To keep the look as close to nature as possible, u se shades of blue on your walls.A Portrait of Yourself !If you're fond of personalized coffee cups and key chains, the n a personalized wall is just right for you!

I have just returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has alr eady climbed about the horizon; the birds are busy celebratin g the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. But s ome of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging t he night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortu nate necessity of undertaking a day's work in the fields after a sleepless night.Throughout most of her life, Bridget Mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just l eft.

A big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry(葡萄酒).

AAn eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All s he knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. O nly a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully .She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my li ttle brother.” The girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want tobuy a miracle.”“Pardon?” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So ho w much does a miracle cost?”“We don’t sell a miracle here, c hild. I’m sorry.” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard this and asked, “What kind of miracle doe s your brother need?”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He ’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my da ddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have?’’ asked the man. “$1.11, but I ca n try and get some more.” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a mir acle for your little brother.” He took up the girl’s hand and said , “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.How much did the miracle cost?21. What was the trouble in the little girl’s family?A. Her brother was seriously ill.B. They had no mon ey.C. Nothing could save her brother.D. Both A and B.22. In the eyes of the little girl, a miracle might be ______.A. something interesting.B. something beautiful.C. some wonderful medicine.D. some good food.23. What made the miracle happen?A. The girl’s love for her brother.B. The medicine fro m the drugstore.C. The girl’s money.D. Nobody can tell.24. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.A. the doctor didn’t ask for any pay.B. a miracle is sure to happen if you keep on.C. the little girl is lovely but not so clever.D. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought.BWhat is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job ? The ability to read well. And that goes for your kids, too. The poor literacy (读写能力) of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now, and yet things are not getting better.In most cases, how well we learn to read will depend largely o n our exposure (接触) to language as children. If we hear people around us talki ng about all kinds of subjects as children, we naturally pick up the words and phrases they use. If we pick up a lot of words, we will learn to read better.Here are my several suggestions for reading improvement. Read about things that interest you. If you are interested in w hat you are reading about, the words will come alive, and you will understand better. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started and it will become a habit, as long as you are interested in what you are reading.Read something that is at your level or just a little difficult for y ou. Read material that you find easy to read, or just a little cha llenging. Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is d ull, and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotte n.If you have trouble reading, listen first. If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an e asier time understanding and remembering them. Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading. Don't worry about what you don't understand. Most of your re ading should be for pleasure. You can enjoy reading without u nderstanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way.25．If we want to succeed at school, we should ________. A．develop good reading abilityB．hear people around us moreC．remember more new wordsD．write more books26．The underlined word “challenging” in Paragraph 5 probab ly means “________”．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．dull 27．What is the purpose of the writer in writing the passage? A．To tell us some ways to improve reading ability.B．To show that the poor literacy has been a main concern of educators.C．To teach us how to find fun in reading.D．To tell us some ways to pick up new words and phrases.28．Which of the following statements about the suggestions is NOT true?A．Read more about things that interest you and you'll beco me better at reading.B．While reading, look up every new word in a dictionary. C．Listen to what you are reading can help you understand a nd remember new words.D．When you can't understand all of what you read, you nee dn't feel worried.COne afternoon after school had finished, Peter and Jane were walking along the street. Suddenly they heard a big noise.“Come on！” shouted Peter. “That sounds like an accident. Le t's see what's happened.” They ran to where the noise came f rom. As soon as they got there, they could see what had happ ened. A small car had knocked into the side of a truck. The ac cident had happened in a quiet street with only four houses in it. Peter and Jane were the first ones to reach the site. No oth er people came. “We must be the only ones who saw the acci dent，” said Jane. They found that both the car driver and the truck driver were hurt.“Peter，” said Jane, “run back down the road to Mrs. Day's house. Ask her to call the policemen and the ambulance. Hurry up. I'll stay he re.”Off went Peter as fast as he could. There was nothing Jane c ould do but wait. She knew that when people were hurt in an accident, they shouldn't be moved. It wasn't long before the p olice car and the ambulance arrived. The policemen got the c ar door open and they carried the man out. Then they got the truck driver out. The men weren't seriously hurt, but they were both taken to the hospital. The policemen thanked Peter and Jane, “You were very good to act so quickly when you saw th e accident. Thank you for all your help.”29．The accident happened ________.A．in a quiet street one school day afternoonB．in a busy street one school day afternoonC．in a quiet street one Sunday afternoonD．in a busy street one Sunday afternoon30．________ called the policemen.A．Jane B．The drivers C．Mrs. Day D．Peter 31．Jane did nothing before the policemen arrived because _ _______.A．she was too frightened to do anythingB．she was alone after Peter leftC．she was waiting for PeterD．she knew she shouldn't move the two driversDA group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their wo rk, got together to visit their teacher. Their conversation soon t urned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress (压力) in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of th e cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the cof fee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teac her said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if y ou’re very successful now.”“All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you ch ose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and posi tion in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. Th ey do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”32. The students who visited the teacher ______.A. are satisfied with their workB. are successful in their studiesC. are strict with each otherD. are successful in their work33. The teacher noticed that the students ________.A. liked the cheap cupsB. only took the best cupsC. were drinking coffeeD. preferred the coffee to the cups34.

Because they didn’t have money to buy coffee and cups.35. From the story, we know the teacher wanted the students to enjoy ______.A. the cupsB. the coffeeC. lifeD. money and position第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A．He got lost.
