第十天一、美文晨读Something wonderful in a disasterOn May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, when my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed from the chest down, unable to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of convenience with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.Yet what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that something wonderful could happen in a disaster. All over the world people cared for Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of mail had been received and sorted.As a family, we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We used them to encourage ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a laugh, or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and successfully.These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you.Dear Chris,My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your riding accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this technical challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you alive.Yours Sincerely,Nancy Reagan二、词汇训练1.

It was in that moment that I felt a deep tension.I realized that even though I had married a man who I absolutely loved and adored, I really didn’t have a clear sense of how he handled money and how the two of us were going to combine our different approaches to handling money in our marriage.I was more organized and detailed, but he was more of a laid-back type. I knew that getting on the same financial page was a key factor in creating a successful marriage and financial future.I asked my husband if he would be willing to set up a time each week to talk about our finances and develop a plan for getting rid of our credit card debt. My husband said he would be willing to do this. Admittedly, he was skeptical — but willing. We came to refer to our weekly meetings as our Financial Dates. We didn’t really have a clue as to what we were doing. All we knew was that we needed to give our finances serious attention. Some Dates were filled wit h tense conversations. Other Dates were filled with laughter, joy and creativity. However, we kept showing up for our Dates and we never gave up. What started out as a means for survival became a powerful connecting thread in our relationship. Something shifted within us.Instead of our finances becoming a source of divisive tension that pulled us apart, they becamethe glue that held us together as we became a unified team.I still recall the day that we excitedly crossed off our last credit card payment on the chart we had created. We had finally arrived. We were free. We had been given wings to fly.Now, whenever I feel huge stress I ask myself, “How am I contributing to what is happening right now?” This gives me the ultimate power to take action. Even though my husband and I don’t have any guarantee against future challenges, I am left with something deep within that is unshakable and that can never be taken away — the memory of our past successes and the power to integrate (整合) these lessons in my day-to-day life.4. Why did the author feel nervous when collecting the afternoon mails? _______A. She was not sure about her marriage.B. She didn’t know how to handle money.C. She could feel the pressure of the huge debt.D. She was reminded of the quarrels in the family.5. Which word can replace the underlined word “laid-back” in the second paragraph?_____A. relaxed.B. skeptical.C. lazy.D. confident.6. What can we learn from the Financial Dates? ______A. They showed the couple clear direction at first.B. They left the couple nothing but deep sadness.C. They were once interrupted but quickly continued.D. They strengthened the couple’s relationship at last.7. We can infer that when faced with stress the author will _______.A. try to change the situationB. focus on what contributes to itC. get power from the memoryD. feel free to do what she likesCSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.”Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.8. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs9. What can we learn from the Florida study? _______A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.10. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?_____A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.11. What is the best title of the passage?______A. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD. How to Org anize Volunteer ActivitiesDMany people rely on a cup of coffee or two to wake them up in the morning or pick them up during the working day, but now a chemist has come up with a speedy alternative to crafting a cup of coffee.U.S. biochemist Ben Y u has created ‘Sprayable Energy,’ which claims to be the world’s first caffeine - based topical energy spray. He said tired workers can spray a ‘shot’ of caffeine onto their skin without experiencing a strong buzz, loading up on unnecessary calories or being stuck with a nasty aftertaste like they might get from drinking energy drinks or coffee.The patent-pending caffeine spray is an odourless liquid that is absorbed through the skin and distributed through the body over a number of hours to deliver a caffeine hit that apparently lasts longer than guzzling a cup of coffee.Each small aluminum bottle of Sprayable Energy contains around 160 sprays - the equivalent amount of caffeine to 40 cups of coffee and the creators say it is a much cheaper way o f getting a caffeine fix than popping to a café. The only active ingredient in the spray is caffeine, which can naturally enter the human body through the skin by passing through cell membranes as it is very similar to nicotine in structure. Each spritz of Sprayable Energy contains around a quarter of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, but apparently has the same effect as a full cup.The website said: ‘The reason for this is our product not being ingested, isn’t almost entirely metabolised（新陈代谢） by the liver before entering your system and becoming available to your body.’‘Thus, a smaller amount of caffeine can have just the same effect as a very large amount of caffeine ingested through an energy drink or cup of coffee. Sprayable Energy`s website recommends that users apply the spray in places where they normally spritz perfume, such as the neck or wrists, but warns users not to exceed 20 sprays a day.It claims that after spraying the product on the skin, users will feel ‘awake and focused without being over-stimulated’, which is common with coffee and energy drinks.12. What can we learn about Sprayable Energy from the passage ?_______.A. A bottle of Sprayable Energy is cheaper than 40 cups of coffee. .B. Sprayable Energy lets users not worry about taking in unnecessary calories..C. Sprayable Energy can be used at least 20 sprays a dayD. The caffeine spray is a colorless liquid that is absorbed through the skin..13. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us ?____A. Sprayable Energy is taken by mouth...B. Before Sprayable Energy is absorbed by body, the liver entirely metabolizes itC. How Sprayable Energy acts on user’s body and how users use the product.D. Sprayable Energy is convenient but expensive.14. We can conclude from the passage that ____A.Sprayable Energy can not be permitted to be used by people now.B. Sprayable Energy has not already gone into mass productionC. Each spritz of Sprayable Energy has the same effect as a full cup of coffeeD. Sprayable Energy is well received by flagging workers.15. The writer’s attitude towards Sprayable Energy ______A. negative.B. positiveC. uncertainD. indifferent第二节（共5小题海小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have thepotential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential ofself-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.1.What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.2.What is the modified Ford Fusion?A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.B.A fleet of driverless taxis.C.A road for driverless cars.D.A retirement community.3.What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A.Driverless cars’disadvantages.ernments’right decisions.C.Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D.The regulations are forward-thinking.4.What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A.The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B.Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C.The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D.The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.7、Since so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(单词首字母) both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed “LOL”in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BFF”? Exclaimed, “OMG!”during a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as “text talk”have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With thechange of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL,”“BPB,”“OMD,”and “BFF”were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.1.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Social Media and the English LanguageB.The Use of New Internet LanguageC.The Internet and Social MediaD.The Change of the Internet and English2.What is one reason for people’s use of acronyms?A.The decrease of physical and traditional booksB.People’s need for quick response to different messagesC.The lack of people’s interaction with technologiesD.People’s need to meet word limits on social media3.The “new terms”are considered to be part of a passing trend because_________ .A.they are not published in a traditional wayB.they are not used as formal languageC.they’ll be replaced by even newer onesD.they are not supported by dictionary writers4.The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages ________.A.have positive influenceB.should be properly usedC.are getting more popularD.are useless for interaction完形填空8、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A, B, C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Firstly, some women worked as nurses in the field hospitals, taking care of wounded soldiers; some wo rked as cooks in the army; many women acted as water carriers. When necessary, all these women, who had many chances to see how the men fired guns, could take the place of the wounded men.The second way that women served in the Army was to fight side by side with their men comrades. Although women were not supposed to fight as soldiers in battles, when the Army was badly short of soldiers and when women were really good soldiers, who would be against women fighting in battles? Thirdly, from city streets to country villages, many able women were in charge of the work to supply food, clothing and medicine for the Army, and when the situation was dangerous, they called on all the women to take up arms to defend their own homes.1. What is probably the main reason that women were permitted to fight in the war?A. Women were braver than men in battles.B. They were badly needed to act as cooks.C. Women of that time were particularly healthy and strong.D. Soldiers were badly needed to fight in battles.2. A field hospital is a hospital _________.A. that is built in an open fieldB. that is on or near the front of battle and gives the wounded soldiers quick treatmentC. where wounded soldiers are operated onD. where soldiers can be taken good care of3. What is the main idea in this passage?A. Women played an important part in the field hospitals during the War of Independence.B. The Army was successful in teaching women to fight as soldiers.C. Victory lay in the services of women.D. Women were active in the struggle against Britain during the War of Independence.BHotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in t he talk shows.That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is some people do nothing but break the whole programme.Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知).Then the host has to answer and explain－how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.I’m totally bored(厌烦) by those people. It’s necessary for radiostations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if the caller doesn’t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.4. The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme.” may tellus____A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong wayB. it is a factC. it is a good ideaD. some people have unclear thoughts5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some people know little about the topic under discussion.B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about.C. Some people do not know what the show is about.D. The writer tells us that the host i s silly.6. The host has to answer and explain,_________.A. for the host works hardB. because of the caller’s ignoranceC. for the host likes talking to the callerD. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller7. The passage do esn’t tell us the idea _______.A. that some listeners phone the hotlines in funB. that some people just want to be heard by othersC. that some people who don’t care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be sillyD. what the hotline programmes are8. The word “operator” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. hostB. listenerC.doctor D. both A and B。

(10)Unit 1 The mass media 高二英语牛津译林版 寒假作业(含答案)
（10）Unit 1 The mass media一、阅读理解1. Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $ 25 a night, and for that, you'll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It's affordable, and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it's close to the main train station. Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests, like free shots, bar crawls, and karaoke. There's also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer. Youth Station HostelIf you're looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too: it doesn't charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you have to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1.What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?fort.B.Security.C.Price.D.Location.2.Which hostel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?A.Yellow Hostel.B.Hostel Alessandro Palace.C.Youth Station Hostel.D.Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.3.What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?A.It gets noisy at night.B.Its staff is too talkative.C.It charges for Wi-Fi.D.It's inconveniently located.2. For several months, Cara has been trying to work up courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Weibo. Not long ago, the 11-year-old girl, like most of the other kids, discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life. "I've wanted to bring it up. It's strange to see myself up there, and sometimes there are pictures of myself I don't like," she said.Like most other modem kids, Cara grew up immersed (使深陷于) in social media. While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their parents, schools, and sports teams have been building the online presence for them since their birth. The shock of realizing that details about your life have been shared online without your permission or knowledge has become an important experience in the lives of many teenagers. Recently a parenting blogger wrote in an essay that despite her 14-year-old daughter's horror of discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about her online, she simply could not stop posting them on her blog and other social media. The writer said that promising her daughter that she would stop posting things about her publicly on the Internet would mean shutting down a vital part of herself, which wouldn't be necessarily good for herself or her daughter.But it's not just crazy mommy bloggers who construct their children's online identity; plenty of average parents do the same. There's even a special word for it: sharenting. Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their photos to the Internet, according to a study. The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own unique digital identity.1.How does Cara probably feel about her mom's behavior?A. It's joyful.B. It's appropriate.C. It's annoying.D. It's favorable.2.Why did the parenting blogger post things about her daughter online?A. Because it could fill up her blog.B. Because it meant a lot to her.C. Because it was to record her stories.D. Because it was to show off her success.3. Who are fond of sharenting?A. A quarter of children.B. Most ordinary parents.C. Kids above the age of 14.D. All crazy bloggers.3. Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.1.Why does the author like rereading?A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B.It's a window to a whole new world.C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend.D.It extends the understanding of oneself.2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feasts?A.It's a brief account of a trip.B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.C.It's a record of a historic event.D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.3.What does the underlined word "currency" in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Debt.B.Reward.C.Allowance.D.Face value.4.What can we infer about the author from the text?A.He loves poetry.B.He's an editor.C.He's very ambitious.D.He teaches reading.4. As global temperatures rise, trees around the world are experiencing longer growing seasons, sometimes as much as three extra weeks a year. All that time helps trees grow faster. For the past 100 years, trees have been experiencing fast growth in mild areas from Maryland to Finland, to Central Europe, where the growth rate of some trees has even sped up by nearly 77% since 1870. Supposing wood were just as strong today, those gains would mean more wood for building, burning, and storing carbon captured from the atmosphere. But is wood really as dense(茂密的) as it used to be?Hans Pretzsch, a forest scientist at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, and his colleagues wanted to find an answer. They carried out a study of the forests of Central Europe. They started with small pieces of experimental land in southern Germany, some of which have been continuously monitored since 1870. Pretzsch and his team took core samples (样品) from the trees — which included Norway spruce, sessile oak, European beech, and Scots pine — and analyzed the tree rings using a high-frequency probe.They found that in all four species, wood density had decreased by 8% to 12%. "We expected a trend of the wood density like this, but not such a strong and significant decrease," Pretzsch says. Increasing temperatures, and the faster growth they spur, probably account for some of the drop. Another factor, Pretzsch says, is more nitrogen in the soil from agricultural fertilizer and vehicle exhaust. Previous studies have linked increased fertilizer use to decreased wood density. Above all, the study suggests that the higher temperatures — combined with pollution from car exhaust and farms — are making wood weaker, resulting in trees that break more easily and wood that is less durable."I am getting worried," says Richard Houghton, an ecologist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts, who was not part of the new study. As the density of the samples dropped, so did their carbon content. That means forests may suffer more damage from storms and may be less efficient at soaking up(吸收) the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than scientists think, Houghton says.1.Paragraph 1 is written to _________.A.prove an ideaB.introduce the topicC.give an exampleD.describe a fact2.What does the study show?A.Farming slows trees' growth.B.More areas are covered with forests.C.Climate warming changes the quality of wood.D.Pollution leads to higher temperatures.3.What does Richard Houghton mean?A.Great loss might be caused.B.Storm damage can be prevented.C.The size of forests might be increased.D.Less greenhouse gases can be sent out.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.We only have one earthB.Trees — our best friendsC.The influence of climate changeD.Trees are growing faster, but weaker七选五5. Our habits are what shape us —our words, our behavior, and even our life itself. ①________• Pity yourself.All bad habits start with never-ending pity for your unhappy self and talking endlessly about your bad luck. Your figure, income, education, apartment, the weather, and even the tiniest inconvenience can become a cause for feeling upset. Those who develop the habit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy (同情) of people around them. ②________• Assess everything in terms of money.Some people think that happiness can be achieved by having lots of money and that you cannot really enjoy life if you don't wear fancy clothes, live in a big house or drive an expensive car. ③________ Instead, they develop their ability to attract it. A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money.•④________Scientists say that people who don't feel they belong in their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty. The reason for this is their feelings that make them do what they don't want and don't like to do. To get rid of this habit for good, you should put your strength and energies into something satisfying. This is the only way to achieve excellent results.• Stay away from your relatives.⑤________And that's obvious, because it's the only place where you can find relief and support when everything comes crashing down around you.A. Do what you don't like.B. Try your best to improve your work.C. It's time to change your living pattern!D. Nobody wants to be around those people.E. Most successful people love and value their family most.F. And among them are some habits that should be avoided at all costs.G. However, wise people do not refer to wealth as the amount of money they get.三、完形填空6. In my life everything was going well until recently.

高二英语寒假作业 第天高二全册英语试题
得夺市安庆阳光实验学校第十二天一、美文晨读My painful small decision“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.二、词汇训练1. Disabled visitors are welcome；there is good wheelchair________（通道）to most facilities.2. He can’t buy gun________（火药）anywhere, so his gun is useless now.3. At the left of the opening was a dark and deep________（角；角落）4. Draw a figure as accurately as possible representing the________（三角形）in question.5. The________（原子）bomb is of catholic concern.6. The water is boiling hot.________（倒；灌）it from one cup to another repeatedly to cool it.7. A hot________（火焰）licked up from his belly to his chest. 8. He is good at his job but he seems to________（缺乏）confidence. 9. You will be fined if you________（吐痰）on the streets.10. He tried his best, but he still can’t________（拖；拉；拽）the heavy box.三．语法填空Many students may feel 1 (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions, 2 some of them are not very helpful withthe problems their sons and daughters have in 3 (adjust) to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their wa y to add to their children’s 4 (difficult).For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the 5 （ compete ）isstronger, that the required standards of work are 6 (high), and that their children may not be prepared for 7 change. They may be upset bytheir children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may 8 (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is tryingas hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten 9 (take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses.Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 10 their children do with their lives. They forget that every one isdifferent and that each person must develop in his or her own way.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10 四、阅读理解 AHawking has left much for Chinese to think about. British physicist Stephen Hawking, possibly the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein, gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except forthree fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol （偶像）.His books, such as A Brief History of Time become bestsellers inChinese bookstores. Hawking helps people expand their horizons and become interested in science, said Pan Yunhe, president of ZhejiangUniversity.Indeed, experts don’t think it is likely that Hawking’s lecturesand far-reaching ideas will be easily understood by the common people. But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many youngpeople. And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask：How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking? “Training top scientists will take as much work to change societyas to educate the scientists th emselves,” said Zhang Fan. Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and was a sophomore（大学二级学生）at Trinity College in 2002.In Britain, Zhang said, teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in. And they encourage students to develop new ideas, which helps them to nurture（培养）their creativity.In China, the Ministry of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to develop students’ potential.“I hope teachers will pay more attention to helpin g us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own,” said Lu Jie, a junior student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.1. From this essay, ______have made young people take Hawking as their idol.A. the fact that Hawking is a famous physicistB. Hawki ng’s lecture in Zhejiang and BeijingC. Hawking’s continuing efforts in scienceD. the fact that Hawking can just move three fingers2. In Paragraph 3, what’s the meaning of “horizon” from the context？A. The line at which the earth and sky appear to meet.B. Sight.C. The range of one’s knowledge.D. Mind.3. From this essay, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Hawking brought a fever to China.B. Hawking’s lectures and ideas will not be easily understood by the average people.C. In order to nurture top scientists, teachers should solve all the problems for the students.D. In China most schools provide quality education to develop students’ potential.4. The last three paragraphs mainly tell us_______.A. we should reform our education in order to nurture more top scientistsB. we have to do a lot of work to educate the scientists themselvesC. in order to nurture many top scientists, schools should provide quality educationD. teachers should help students use their imaginations and solve problems on their own5. In the writers’ opinion, Hawking’s visit will NOT_______.A. expand many people’s horizonsB. help people become interested in scienceC. do good to the education of ChinaD. help average people understand his profound ideas wellBOne of the best ways to learn a foreign language is to follow the method you use to learn your native language. As a child you hear the sounds of your own language and you repeat it. You see the written form of the language around you and little by little you are taught to link the two forms of the language. The BBC uses this method in many different ways.English teaching radio programmesWith explanations in 37 languages as well as completely in English, these programmes are broadcast to most areas of the world from London and by some 300 overseas radio stations in more than 100 countries.Courses of textbooks and audiocassettesThese audio courses are for people who wish to learn English at home or in the classroom. They can all be used for studying English from beginners’ level to advanced.Video coursesBBC English programmes have been broadcast successfully on television in more than 100 countries. They can also be got on video, with supporting textbooks and audiocassettes; they form complete courses for home study or teaching.A magazineThe BBC English magazine is a bi-monthly publication and is a companion to BBC English radio broadcasts. It is written by the programme makers and includes programme details, practical home study exercises and features, as well as items of general interest from BBC programmes dealing with science, medicine, technology, etc.English language summer schoolThis popular course for learners and teachers of English is held in London every summer.For information on any of the above, please write to：BBC English, PO Box 76, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1.In London, personal callers can see BBC English courses on display at the BBC World Shop, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1.6. The underlined sentence “The BBC uses this method in many different ways.” means_______ .A. the BBC only helps children to learn EnglishB. the BBC has programmes for you to hear and watchC. the BBC only gives you programmes to listen toD. the BBC helps you to learn your mother language7. English teaching radio programmes are broadcast with explanations in______ languages.A. 37B. 38C. 100D. 3008. Audiocassettes are things that you can_______.A. look atB. readC. watchD.listen to9. If you write to BBC English, you can get information about_______.A. textbooksB. video coursesC. the magazineD. all the aboveCIn most cultures, when you meet acquaintances for the first time during a day, it is normal to greet them. The main purpose of this greeting is to build up a good relationship between the people concerned, and each language usually has a number of set phrases which can be used for this purpose. Sometimes there are considerable differences in the type of phrases which can be used and cultural misunderstanding can easily result. The following is a true example.A young British woman went to Hong Kong to work, and at the time of her arrival she knew nothing about the Chinese culture or language. On her way to school one day she went to the bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had her lunch. She was extremely surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would be regarded as an indirect invitation to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also indicate the young man’s interest in dating the girl; so since this bank clerk was a complete stranger to the British girl, she was very much surprised and hastily commented that she had eaten already.After this she proceeded to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question. By now, she realized that it could not be an invitation, but was puzzled as to why they asked it. In the following days, she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this.Eventually she came to a conclusion: the people must be concerned about her health. She was somewhat underweight at the time and so she concluded they must be worried that she was not eating properly! Only much later did she discover that the question had no real significance at all—it was merely a greeting.10. The main idea of the first paragraph is_______.A. cultural differences can be the main reason for misunderstandingsB. differences in greetings may lead to cultural misunderstandingsC. different people should use different greetings in order to avoid misunderstandingsD. greetings are a number of set phrases which can be used to build up a good relationship between thepeople concerned11. When the British woman was asked if she had had her lunch, she was surprised because________.A. she bad already eaten her lunch at homeB. she didn’t want to have lunch with the bank clerkC. she regarded it as an indirect invitation to lunchD. she didn’t know why the bank clerk was so warm-hearted12.The British woman misunderstood the question again by thinking that people were concerned about herhealth because________.A. she was in poor healthB. she was not eating properlyC. she was a person of significanceD. she was somewhat thin13. “The question” that people kept asking the British woman should be understood as_________.A. “Are you hungry?”B. “Have you eaten your lunch?”C. “May I invite you to have a lunch?”D. “How are you?”五、句子翻译1. 他除了鼻子外，哪儿都好看。

第十天一、美文晨读Something wonderful in a disasterOn May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, when my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed from the chest down, unable to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of convenience with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.Yet what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that something wonderful could happen in a disaster. All over the world people cared for Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of mail had been received and sorted.As a family, we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We used them to encourage ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a laugh, or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and successfully.These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you.Dear Chris,My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your riding accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this technical challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you alive.Yours Sincerely,Nancy Reagan二、词汇训练1. I shall take _______（文学）2.
