Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout (辍学者).She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now tryin g to bring up my three children.

They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hours because the park is huge.In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every type of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild beast to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has to prove the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.【1】What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The gun is given to a traveler by the government.B．The gun can be used to hunt.C．The gun is given to a traveler to defend himself.D．A traveler may fire at a wild beast.【2】Which is the thing people have to do while traveling in the park?A．Carry a gun with him.B．Drive around in a car.C．Look at the animals.D．Purchase food for the animals.【3】What is the passage mainly about?A．Some information about traveling in a safari park in South Africa.B．A brief introduction to wild animals in a safari park.C．A brief introduction to a safari park.D．Some information about traveling in South Africa.4.Most episodes (片段) of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention.” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remem ber something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.”“Encoding”, Schacter explains, “is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major effect on remembering it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜).” “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment. And memory depends on just that. “Reminders can help prevent absent-mindedness,” says Schacter. “But be sure the reminder is clear andavai lable,” he says. If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch, put it on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room an d wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.【1】Why does the writer think that encoding is important?A．It helps us understand our memory system better.B．It enables us to remember something from our memory.C．It expands our memory ability greatly.D．It slows down the process of losing our memory.【2】Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder?A．Because it will easily get lost.B．Because it’s not clear enough for you to read.C．Because it’s out of your sight.D．Because it might get mixed up with other things.【3】What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．If we pay more attention to one thing, we might forget another.B．Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C．Doing something again helps improve our memory.D．If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．The process of gradual memory loss.B．The causes of absent-mindedness.C．The influence of the environment on memory.D．A way of encoding and remembering.二、其他After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.1. Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. As a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. 【1】2. Take good notes.

Take part in class discussions..【4】Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation(参与)and your focus during the class discussion.

His passion for music was suddenly rekindled (重新点燃).“My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame or money,” Chou told Teens. “So I askedmyself, ‘why not start all over again?’”That's how we luckily regained this music genius, who has since then composed lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜). His emotional voice is enthralling (迷人的).

Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mo ther put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alo ne and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung....”My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled (愤慨地说出) those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy... I am so sorry....”“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal.

As he walked up the front path of our home, he saw Mum and me and he dropped the suitcase.I was only five years old so Dad made a fuss of me, then began making an even bigger fuss of my mother. This left me free to examine all the stuff lying around the broken suitcase, and I was quick to notice a newspaper advertisement displaying a new piano. When Dad saw me holding up the newspaper cutting, he smiled. “Yes, that’s right,” he said. “I bought your mum a piano for ten pounds down and two pounds a week.”A few moments later, a horse pulled a cart with a piano on top. Soon we all stared at it in our small lounger room. Mum had never been close to a piano before, except at the kindergarten I attended, and she used to say how wonderful it would be if the teachers could teach her to play.After tea that night, Mum began to teach herself to play. She plinked the keys for about two hours and drove everybody in the street mad, until Dad gently said, “Enough is enough.”From that day on, she would plink between doing the cooking and housework. Three months went by and Mum was now a skilled pianist, holding parties with all the neighbors gathering around to sing.Although we were poor, Mum felt like a princess and was delighted at all the attention she was receiving.At the height of Mum’s happiness, I began to notice that Dad was looking increasingly worrie d. It turned out that since returning from the war, he’d been unable to find a job. Then, a few weeks later, I observed two men taking Mum’s piano away. Mum sobbed in the kitchen. Suddenly, it all became clear to me: no job, no money, no piano. Dad finally got a job. Mum was happy again as if he’d just win the lottery(彩票). Dad had to study to qualify as an account. Every night after dinner he’d place a stack of books on the kitchen table and study late into the night. Mum didn’t say much but I could tell sh e was proud of Dad.Two years later, Dad bought Mum another piano. This time he paid cash for it.【1】How did the author’s Dad buy the piano for his mum?A．He paid part of the bill regularly.B．He earned it by winning a bet.C．He paid cash for it.D．He bought it as a big bargain.【2】By saying “Enough is enough”, the author’s dad meant_______.A．practice makes perfectB．it was time to stop practicingC．he couldn’t bear being troubledD．his wife played the piano well enough【3】What happened to the author’s mum’s first piano?A．It was lost.B．It was broken by one neighbor.C．It was sold by his dad.D．It was taken away.【4】What made the author’s mum proud of his dad?A．His dad’s willingness to help cook.B．His dad’s winning the lottery luckily.C．His dad’s loyalty to his motherland.D．His dad’s determination to rebuild his life.2.Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015，according to the latest plan released by the State Council.，regional emission caps(区域排放上限) for other certain Besides the existing pollution control program for CO2chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas—the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing--Tianjin-- Hebei region. Coal--consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas，according to the plan.The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people’s health，Zhang Lijun，vice-minister of environmental protection，said in an interview on Monday.The air quality in a city affects the areas nearby because pollutants can travel in the sky，said Chai Fahe，vice--director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city，targeting a certain pollutant(污染物) will not be enough，” Chai said.Zhang said the country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing--Tianjin--Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.These three regions，home to at least 200 million people，occupy only 6.3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 percent of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel，according to official figures.Studies also show that the visibility(能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s，as a result of air pollution.Liaoning province，the Shandong Peninsula，Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area，the Changsha--Zhuzhou--Xiangtan region in Hunan province，the Chengdu--Chongqing region，and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs，according to the plan.The new plan also requires an improved air quality system，which will measure the pollution levels. “The current system，which only measures some major pollutants，cannot reflect the_truepicture.” said Chai.【1】It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because ________.A．air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent yearsB．air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s healthC．air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areasD．air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities【2】Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s，the visibility there nowadays is ________.A．123 to 115 km B．137 to 145 kmC．123 to 145 km D．115 to 137 km【3】The main purpose of the passage is ________.A．to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollutionB．to introduce the new plan to control air pollutionC．to provide official figures of air pollution levelsD．to point out the regions affected by air pollution【4】What does the underlined phrase “the true picture” in the last paragraph mean?A．The major pollutants.B．The key polluted areas.C．The major polluted cities.D．The pollution levels.3.Today, Friday, December 14JAZZ with the Mike Thomas Jazz Band at The Derby Arms.

Teddy and he dropped to the ground,….When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the grassland, flames(火焰)were shooting more than five meters into the air.Kathy couldn’t believe what she was seeing. One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately. She questioned Justin, “ Is there anyone in the plane?”“No,” he said.“Where are you able to radio for help?”“There was no time.”“ I’m a distance runner.” Kathy said, “I’ll go for help.” Looking at the seriously injured men, she said, “It may take me several hours to get out.” She started out.When she was 23, Kathy set a women’s-course record in a Marathon. She had run 42 kilometers. But now she was running the race of her life. She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help.Kathy had been running for two hours. This was far back into the wilderness. The trail(小径) grew unclear. She stopped to take a quick compass(指南针) reading. She had run for more than 20 kilometers. Her heart fell, her muscle(肌肉) aching. Finally she saw her car in the distance.She jumped into the car and sped away. She reached a holiday house and called the police.During the wait she walked around, relaxing her legs and drinking water. It took almost two hours for a helicopter to reach her.

Worldwide this question is being discussed as an interestingly large number of married women enter the workplace. Take the United States for example. Since 1960, the percentage of married women in the work force has jumped from 31.9 per cent to 59.4 per cent.American women first moved into the paid labour force during the World War II, when men left their jobs to fight. In the last fifty years, more and more women have worked outside the home. And over these years of developing, Americans have changed their social values as a result. In 1975, women aged 35 and above made up half of all working women. And by 1980, 60 per cent were women at the age of 45 and above.Now in Japan, women’s work group is M-shaped with middle-aged women and those aged 20-25 at the two peaks. According to statistics(统计)， 37.7 per cent of Japanese women at childbearing age(25-29) still engaged themselves in work in 1980. and the number reached 50 per cent the next year.Being a housewife has always been regarded as a “graceful occupation” in Japan. Some young Japanese women believe it is good to be a “ professional housewife”. However, old att itudes have been changing everywhere, and sometimes just out of economic necessary. In recent years, a great number of city housewives have poured out of homes to take part time jobs. Even the UN has given its support.. The 34th Congress of the United Nations in 1979 put forward the decision for formal agreement on the getting rid of discrimination(歧视) against women.So far, most UN members have agreed on it, but some still haven’t, including the United States.【1】From the first passage, we can learn that ________________.A．experts encourage women to take paying jobs.B．men encourage women to take paying jobsC．government encourage women to take paying jobs.D．more and more people begin to care about women’s life【2】In the United States _________________.A．married women are lazier than their husbands.B．Husbands are lazier than their wivesC．Few married women used to work outsideD．More married women used to work outside【3】Married women in Japan________________.A, all work outside their homesB. seldom work outside their homesC. have different opinions on their working outsideD. all do housework at their homes【4】More and more women have taken jobs outside for the reason that ____________.A．they have no children to take care ofB．they have no housework to doC．they want to make more friendsD．they want to improve their living conditions四、阅读填空Stephen Covey’s book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is very popular among business people who want to improve their careers, but its rules can be applied to any area of life. For example, Covey’s rules can be used to improve relationships between parents and children or to improve the way you manage your time. Covey begins by discussing habits and effectiveness, and why they are both important to success. According to Covey, for an action to become a habit, you must know what to do and why should do it. However, you also must want to do it. On the other hand, effectiveness means having a balance between success and a good relationship with the people around you. In order to be successful, you must have habits that make you able to deal effectively with others and your own personal life.Next, Covey introduces the seven habits of highly effective people. The first three habits focus on personal growth. The next three habits are about how to get along with others. The seventh habit shows how to achieve physical, emotional and mental health.Covey includes exercises to help you analyse your life. He challenges you to decide what you want to contribute to society in your lifetime. He does this by asking you to think about what people to say about you after you die. Your answer to this question will help you make better decisions about how to spend your time. In this way, you can challenge yourself to make your dreams and ambitions come true.The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has the potential to really improve your life.五、书面表达假定你是我校英语报的小记者；以下漫画内容是你的所见所闻,请根据要求写一篇英语短文投稿。

you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．1．Do lessCut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．2．Have fewer meetingsMeetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．3．Give yourself time to get ready and get thereIf you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配）enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothingWhen people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．【1】Which can be the best title of the passage?A．How not to hurry in our life?B． How to give out our life?C．What to do with our life?D．How to change our life?【2】If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______．A．you don't have to put on makeupB．you'd better squeeze about 35 minutes out for itC．you should arrange 10 minutes for itD．you should rush there【3】According to the passage, we can know_______．A．even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anythingB．if we follow the author's advice, our life will be betterC．we should try to do all the things better on our task listD．there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow【4】The underlined word "collapse" has the similar

where more and more people come to look and increasingly to buy．Alice Wu is an editor at a Chinese Internet publication．She takes the subway to work, but she is certain she can cut her commute time if she drives herself．Wu says it takes her three hours to get to work now．If she had a car, she says, the same trip would only take her two hours．The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing．General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than two thousand cars each week．Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now．In the past, it would take them several years to earn enough money to buy a new car．Now, he says, many people only need to save for one year．Also, the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars．For decades, most Chinese city residents got about by bicycle or public buses and trains．Now, in many areas, the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system, leaving city streets jammed with traffic．Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade, and he will be the first in his family to own one．He is not deterred by Beijing's traffic jams．Guo says if the traffic is too bad, he will use the car for leisure or holidays with his family．Another customer, Zhang Menxin, works in Beijing, but is from Xi'an, more than 900 kilometers away．Zhang says it is very difficult to get a train ticket to return home for Chinese New Year．She adds that train is not convenient．If she had her own car, she says, she could go anytime she wanted to．World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says, “Getting a car makes people fee l like they have arrived to the middle class, and it's got a huge status associated with it．It's a fantastic thing to have．”【1】The underlined word "deterred" in the 4th paragraph probably means .A．encouraged B．attracted C．astonished D．discouraged【2】The reason why Zhang Menxin wants to buy a car is that .A．it is hard

Automobile ExchangeD．China is developing rapidly in the past few years．【4】According to what Shomik Mendhiratta in the last paragraph, the car is ____ for the person who owns it．A．of little value B．a means of transportationC．a status symbol D．a heavy burden3.Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin．One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the

the age of fifty．It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels．Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s．It included 22,000 healthy men doctors．Ail were between the ages of forty and eighty-four．More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug．The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking．The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill．139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Ten of them died．239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Twenty-six of them died．The researchers said the doctors' study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men．They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the mage of fifty should take aspirin．They said aspirin couldn't help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat．The researchers said men who think they wou3d be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first．【1】We may learn that the new use of aspirin is ______．A．to treat heart diseaseB．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old menC．to protect old menD．to reduce the blood cholesterol levels【2】Aspirin can help those who ______．A．are older and healthyB．know how to keep fitC．are fat and smoke cigarettesD．are suffering from heart attack【3】At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin _____.A．as we like B．with care C．every day D．if we are over fifty 【4】From the experiment we can conclude that about ______ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died．A．7%B．19%C．11%D．44%4.There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns．It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either．What it does is to offer help in applying for a job．“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed．The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment．It is also an indication of the growing importance of the CV, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right．There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application．“Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school．The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview．And in those days of full employment the technique worked．The letter proved that you could write and were available for work．Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest．There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the CV．【1】The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper column ．A．informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB．informs employers of the people available for workC．divides available jobs into various typesD．promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment【2】Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because .A．there are so many people out of workB．there are so many top level jobs availableC．there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleD．the CV is considered to be a work of art【3】In the past it was expected that first job hunters would ．A．write an initial letter giving their life historyB．keep any detailed information until they obtained an interviewC．have no qualifications other than being able to read and writeD．pass some exams before applying for a job【4】The CV has become such an important document because ．A．there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesB．there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedC．jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD．the other processes of applying for jobs are more difficult to do5."If I rest, I rust"——would be an excellent motto for those who are troubled by the slightest bit of idleness．Even the most hard-working person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his abilities to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, eventually, cannot do the work required of them．Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must- keep their ability polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture—every department of human endeavor．Industry keeps the key bright that opens the treasury of achievement．If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist．The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer．Labor defeats all—not inconstant, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, persistent, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose．So industry is the price of noble and enduring success．【1】What may be the meaning of the underlined word "rust" in the 1st paragraph?A．生锈B．成长C．进步D．快乐【2】Why does a hardworking person even use the motto? Because ______．A．he wants to remind himself that he is a hardworking man．B．he wants to remind himself to rest from time to timeC．he is afraid that he may idleD．he feels he can do the work required of them．【3】By saying "Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their ability polished by constant use", the author means_______．A．great men keep their ability polishedB．those who use their ability constantly would attain the great heightC．those who want to get great achievements must practice their ability constantlyD．great men polish their ability to reach their height【4】The main point of the 3rd paragraph is that ______A．industry is more important than agriculture．B．giving some examples of how industry works in achieving great success．C．what industry really means hereD．industry can keep the keys bright6.阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填人最恰当的单词。

One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.“My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame or money,” Chou said. That’s how we luckily have such a music genius, who has since then composed lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜). “Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow,” he said.Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis. In this album he explores human relationships in the Internet age.“Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you’re going to use it,”is Chou’s advice to teenagers.Chou often gets his music ideas from trips.

Some of the historical travel packages are:Forts and PalacesThe rich cultural past of India is reflected in the countless forts and palaces across the country. Most of the forts were constructed as a defense device to keep the enemy away and palaces were made on the names of the kings and queens.

My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼) to my grandmother.x k b 1 . co m We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled(编辑)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.【1】How did the author's family celebrate Grandmother's birthday ?A．They took her on a trip across the country.B．They gave her a memory book of friendship.C．They invited all her friends to her birthday party.D．They asked all her friends to send her cards.【2】When receiving her birthday gift, the author's grandmother probably felt _____.A．disappointed and lonely B．sorry and sadC．surprised and pleased D．nervous and excited【3】The underlined word “bonds” in the last paragraph probably means_____.A．relationships B．works C．Successes D．celebrations【4】According to the passage, the author probably agrees that _____.A．the more friends you have, the betterB．friends are more important than familyC．understanding leads to greater successD．true friendship is very important to us5.We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the r oof rack(行李架), I’ve always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 pounds poorer, and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack. It was six inches long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”He was staring at our car: first at the flowers, and then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s acu pboard you’ve got there! We thought it was, something else.”My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.【1】It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．other drivers let the couple go first, because the husband did not drive fastB．the cupboard cost less than 20 poundsC．the husband, in fact, would rather not buy the cupboardD．all the cars followed the couple’s【2】The police will be more polite to those who are______.A．in great sorrow B．driving in the gathering darknessC．driving with wild flowers in the car D．carrying furniture【3】What did the police officer think of the cupboard?A．It was so expensive that it needed their helpB．It was a box for a dead person to be buried in.C．There might be something stolen in it.D．It was a big box with some bomb in it.【4】What did the husband think of the whole matter?A．It was very strange.B．He took great pride in it.C．He was puzzled at it D．He felt embarrassed.四、其他Day after day you are glued to your computer screen. You cannot get enough of online games, net shopping or cyber surfing. Your social life gets worse, and so does your health. Chances are that you are addicted to the Internet and you need counseling.On November 8, an Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) diagnostic manual（诊断手册）was approved by a group of psychologists in China, who agreed that Internet addiction is a mental disease. According to a report on , the manual for the first time gives a clear time standard for diagnosing IAD, saying that surfing the Internet for more than six hours a day, not for the purpose of studying or working, and having done so for less than three months, might be a symptom of IAD.Addiction symptoms varyBesides the long online time, some other symptoms would also help doctors diagnose IAD patients, such as having a strong desire for the Internet and feeling physical discomfort, becoming easily angry, being unable to concentrate on things or finding it difficult to sleep if unable to get online.Apart from these conditions, other symptoms are also listed in the manual. If a net surfer cannot get out of the virtual world of Web games, which has already affected his/her capability to study or work, or he/she feels little interest in doing anything but jumping online or is afraid to communicate with others, he/she is also considered to be an IAD sufferer.According to the World Health Organization, mental disease sufferers have two major characteristics: they bring suffering to both themselves and their families, and their abilities to be involved in social activities are affected. Mental illness stigma（污名）However, it has resulted in a backlash（反对）from the public, due to the fact that mental disease is a very sensitive term to Chinese.Many netizens dropped comments expressing their doubts about the manual, saying that they could not accept they might be suffering from mental illness just because they spent too much time on the Internet.Experts said there is a misunderstanding of the manual. Explaining that IAD sufferers are not “crazy people”, they call on society at large to change their understanding of mental disease. Mental disease covers a wide range of psychological or behavioral problems, such as depression.五、书面表达近来你们学校正准备创建和申报“省绿色学校”请你据此给某英文报写一篇短文。

My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun. She 39 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.42 she asked me, “What if we 43 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 44 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 45 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 46 with beautiful images of s miles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 47 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.All that seemed 49 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 52 to help clean cars. Passers-by were 53 a nd one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 54 !I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.【1】A．drying B．washing C．repairing D．decorating【2】A．quiet B．dirty C．different D．hot【3】A．continue B．avoid C．suggest D．practise【4】A．therefore B．further C．already D．hardly【5】A．choose B．serve C．buy D．enjoy【6】A．confused B．worried C．popular D．difficult【7】A．Finally B．Simply C．Luckily D．Then【8】A．show B．leave C．make D．order【9】A．challenged B．encouraged C．invited D．expected【10】A．creative B．ready C．changed D．familiar【11】A．board B．picture C．idea D．car 【12】A．purpose B．trouble C．secret D．theme 【13】A．need B．imagination C．duty D．sense 【14】A．important B．disappointing C．hopeful D．natural 【15】A．matter B．mean C．belong D．refer 【16】A．relax B．try C．smile D．help 【17】A．food B．money C．rags D．fruit 【18】A．interested B．amazed C．bored D．frightened 【19】A．story B．scenery C．scene D．view 【20】A．surrounded B．understood C．refused D．supported三、阅读理解1.Light for the CityEdison and his assistants came to New York to set up an electric power system. They hoped it would provide enough electricity to light up a part of the great city.They bought several machines with them. These were called generators(发电机), which produced electricity power for lamps in Edison’s building.Soon there were lights for the building. Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night. The light burned brightly and steadily and he often worked over night. People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look. Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.First, the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators. A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the city. Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets, and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches. The wire connected each building to a generator.Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job. It took a year and a half. In September, 1882, the job was finished.A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house. The big moment came at last. The inventor, taking a deep breath, pulled a switch. The electric lights flashed up.“Very good! Very good!” a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.“Sir,” said Edison, “this is only the beginning!” And Edison was right. Soon Edison’s lamp were lighting up cities all over the world.【1】The generators they brought with them could produce as much as electricity as ______ needed. A．Edison’s building B．a small part of the cityC．the whole city D．the world【2】Trenches were dug to ______.A．set up generators B．lay wires C．built city streets D．build a power house 【3】It took a year and a half to ______.A．set up the electric systemB．produce several large generatorsC．dig the deep trenchesD．lay fourteen miles of wire into the trench【4】Edison took a deep breath before pulling a switch, which showed that he was ______.A．excited B．frightened C．uneasy D．light-hearted2.King’s College Summer SchoolKing’s College Summer School is an annual(每年的) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On M other’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.【1】Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A．Parents bring up children.B．Parents give love and care to children.C．Parents educate children to be good persons.D．Parents pass away before children grow up.【2】Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A．It has only two kinds of colors.B．It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C．It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D．People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.【3】What do you know from the passage?A．Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C．Not all the children respect their parentsD．Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.【4】On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, _______.A．people usually have family partiesB．everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC．children always go to parents’ homeD．hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts4.By 2050Futurologists（未来学家）predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.TV channels（频道）will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed andthere won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway aroundthe world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours. Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big computers prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. B y 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices（设备）that connect directlyto the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again. Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones（克隆）of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?【1】According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.A．reading newspapers on a computerB．making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth againC．creating cloned animalsD．choosing TV programs freely from a “menu”【2】We can learn from the passage that some big companies prefer robots to human workers, because human workers __________.A．can work 24 hours a dayB．often ask for more payC．are not clever enoughD．are often late for work【3】From Paragraph 5 we can infer that __________.A．there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050B．few diseases will attack people by 2050C．devices are connected directly to the brain to help people hearD．medical technology will be more effective by 2050【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the cloning technology?A．The author does not support the use of cloning technology.B．The author thinks human cloning is impossible.C．The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.D．The author is quite excited about human cloning.5.A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was hard for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty .”says Dave. But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alt o and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase. Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches gave away their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that theirlegacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.【1】According to the text, the Fusses __________.A．were employed by a truck company B．led a difficult lifeC．worked in a school cafeteria D．lost their home【2】What can we learn about the Hatches?A．They had their children during the Great Depression.B．They left the old house to live on their family farm.C．They gave away their possessions（财产）to their neighbors.D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.【3】Why would the Hatches go from store to store?A．They decided to open a store.B．They wanted to save money.C．They couldn’t afford expensive thi ngs.D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.【4】What Sandy Van Weelden said mainly tells us that the Hatches were __________.A．understanding B．kind C．childlike D．wealthy四、信息匹配阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! S pinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable. People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.【1】A good title for this reading passage is______.A．Popeye the Sailor B．The Truth About SpinachC．A Mistake with Numbers D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A．They thought spinach made them strong.B．They thought Popeye was funny.C．Spinach had a lot of iron.D．People liked folic acid.【3】A research group told people that spinach______.A．made Popeye strongB．was a green vegetableC．had less iron than other green vegetablesD．had more iron than other green vegetables【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A．iron B．folic acid C．spinach D．exercise【5】Folic acid is ______.A．something in food B．a vegetable C．dangerous D．a certain kind of spinach2.If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives.To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脉搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.【1】If you want to save someone drowning, you __________.A．have to pull off his clothes first .B．should try to get him out of water as quickly as possible.C．should first make out who he is.D．ought to throw a life coat to him first .【2】Once a person stops breathing, it means ___________.A．you have no more than 4 minutes to bring him to life again .B．his brain is completely damaged .C．he has passed away.D．there is no way to save his life .【3】To press his chin upwards is a way to _____________.A．keep the tongue from blocking the airway in the throat .B．prevent the tongue from stopping the airway in the throat .C．wipe the tongue out of the throat .D．see if he can possibly be saved .【4】If the drowning boy has no pulse,_____________.A．press his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing .B．blow air into his mouth is sure to save his life .C．press his nostrils together with your fingers can work .D．press is the last chance of saving his life .【5】Which of the following statement is true?A．Don’t stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.B．If you see someone drowning, you must give him mouth-to-mouth breathing.C．If a man does not breathe for four minutes, his brain will be completely destroyed.D．When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.3.Louis Pasteur, one of the world's great scientists, was born in 1822, and died in 1895.While still a young boy, Louis Pasteur made his decision to become a scientist. He spent much of his life time studying the diseases of cattle, chickens and other tame animals. His wife learned to help him with his work. Almost everyone knows that Pasteur is the man responsible for finding a way of preventing milk from spoiling (变质). Not many people know he was the first to imagine and to prove that air we breathe is full of germs (细菌). One of his greatest successes was finding a treatment for people and animals to prevent a disease called rabies (狂犬病). Louis Pasteur won many honors and could have got large amount of money. But Pasteur preferred to live simply. The real happiness of this unusual man came from his work. Louis Pasteur did so well in his life that the French government took up his work and created the Institute Pasteur in the year 1888.【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Pasteur was a scientist and doctor as well.B．Pasteur lived for less than seventy years.C．Everybody knows that Pasteur succeeded in finding a way of preventing milk from spoiling.D．Pasteur's wife was of some help to him in his work..【2】From the passage, we know that Pasteur lived a simple life. This is because ________.A．he earned little money.B．he cared much about money.C．what he really enjoyed was a simple life.D．of all mentioned above.【3】Why were many honors given to Louis Pasteur?A．Because he was the greatest scientist in the world.B．Because he spent much of his life time studying the diseases of people .C．Because he lived simply.D．Because he was a great success as a scientist.【4】Pasteur could have got large amount of money if he had___________.A．cared much about it.B．made more discoveries.C．lived a better life.D．achieved more successes.【5】To Louis Pasteur the real happiness in his life was to __________.A．study B．workC．get large amount of money D．raise tame animals4.While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany."We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic（乐观）that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to areceiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.【1】Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.A．football fans are angry with refereesB．their new product can satisfy football fansC．their new product will have a good marketD．they can sell a lot of football in the future【2】In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.A．Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their productB．Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisementC．Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their productD．Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product【3】The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.A．information given back by a user B．advice given by someoneC．supplying food to customers D．food given back by consumers【4】The new product has drawn attention from some _________.A．famous people B．referees C．big companies D．countries【5】According to the passage , the following are true except _______ .A．The chip sends 2,000 signals a secondB．The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air.C．The chip will be used at the game in Japan.D．The chip will also be used at the games in Germany next year."四、单词拼写阅读下面对话，根据首字母提示，在横线上写出一个英语单词的完整.正确的形式，使对话通顺。
安徽高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
安徽高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present, do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others? Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.When you are at the event, don’t worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them.When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show you’re listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.After the event is over, take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people. Tell yourself exactly what you did very well at the event. For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with,or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking. By doing so, your conversation confidence will gradually improve.【1】What should you find out before attending a social event?A．how other people will be dressing.B．a few professional magazinesC．some conversation ideasD．reasons to like other people【2】What should you avoid in a social event according to the 4th paragraph?A．Attending a party with your good friendsB．Ignoring eye contact with othersC．Wearing informal clothes and shoesD．Caring much about what others think of you【3】After coming back from a social party, we need to form the habit of _____.A．Looking for the positive things in our performanceB．Calling the host to show that we are thankfulC．Communicating with the people we met once againD．Thinking about how to improve our social ability【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．How to take part in social events.B．How to believe in ourselves in daily life.C．How to be more confident at social events.D．How to get along with others at social events.2.Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when younormally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you mi ght like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity. 【1】What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?A．You will feel upset.B．You will behave normally.C．Your body will not know what time it is.D．You will probably get hungry more easily.【2】Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer? A．Both should see a doctor..B．Tom should see a doctor.C．Both should take it easy.D．Mike should have a watch.【3】How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?A．By seeing what happens when they are messed up.B．By asking questions and collecting answers.C．By studying people traveling across time zones.D．By programming people with man-made clocks.【4】What will the writer most probably talk about next?A．Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.B．Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.C．Why it is important to have a normal body clock.D．What circadian rhythms are.3.Each year, we are exposed to ten thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art, videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is that scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man did not know the answer and since that day, whenever I see a famous company logo I try to find the meaning of it.Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War I, a pilot, Count Francesco Baracca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron（空军中队）. Baracca’s mother then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930’s to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.Starbucks started in 1971, in Seattle. The mermaid（美人鱼）represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female, the only difference being that they havea tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed that mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships. In the 1500s, spices, tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.【1】The writer became interested in logos of some famous brands after _______.A．he watched an attractive movieB．he saw a scene in a movieC．he walked up to some guy with a BMWD．he noticed some famous logos【2】Many companies use logos because _________.A．people enjoy beautiful logosB．people are more likely to buy their productsC．people can recognize the products more easilyD．people are interested in the meanings of the logos【3】Which of the following is true according to Paragraph3?A．Starbucks was once a company trading spices, tea and coffee.B．Hearing mermaids sing, sailors would know the right direction.C．Starbucks has a history of more than five hundred years.D．The logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business years.【4】The underlined word “incorporated” in the third paragraph probably means _____.A．included B．abandonedC．corrected D．designed4.What’s the biggest online shopping day in the world? Not Valentine’s Day. Not Cyber Monday or Black Friday. The winner is China’s Singles’Day, celebrated on November11, or 11.11.Singles’Day began as a day for unmarried or uncoupled people to celebrate the ir lives. Single students, looking for an excuse to buy themselves presents, started it on November11,1993, reported The Guardian. It is symbolized by the four mumber ones in the date of November11 and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC. It became a major shopping day in 2009. The CEO of an online shopping site --Alibaba-- tried to increase sales at the e-commerce company. The CEO, Daniel Zhang, launched an annual online sale on that day, said Fortune. When it first began, “Sigles’Day was very much an offline comfort to actual single people,”noted the website atlas Obscura.”A small group of students at Nanjing University are said to have chosen 11.11 as a day that singles could do activities like karaoke togeth er.”It quickly became a cultural phenomenon.Last year, Alibaba sold more than $1 billion worth of products inthe first three minutes of the sales, reported Bloomberg News. Total sales on Singles’Day soared to $9 billion within 24 hours. That’s four times bigger than Cyber Monday in the U.S., which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally a big shopping day. By comparison, online sales in the U.S. last year on Black Friday were just $1.5 billion, reported TechCrunch. Today, Singles’Day is very successful. Analysts say that this year, sales on China’s Singles’Day will increase to a new high. In the U.S., Jennifer Wang, a co-founder of a company targeting Chinese-Americans, said, “We expect to have 3 million people coming to click Dealmoon for the Si ngles’Day launch.” Some observers thinkSingles’Day could catch on globally.【1】How did the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By describing a holiday.B．By asking a questionC．By making a list.D．By telling a story【2】What’s the second par agraph mainly about?A．How Singles’Day came into being.B．Why Singles’Day became popular.C．When Singles’Day was started.D．Who first celebrated Singles’Day.【3】Why did China’s Singles’Day become a major shopping day?A．Because singles celebrated their happy lives on November11.B．Because students at Nanjing university took part in activities together.C．Because an annual online sale was started on that day by Alibaba.D．Because single students chose that day to buy themselves gifts.【4】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “soared”in Paragraph3?A．Increased sharply.B．Decreased quickly.C．Returned gradually.D．Appeared suddenly.5.English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary--perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes（自相矛盾的说法), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese--so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. Tha t’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.【1】What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A．English has a long history.B．English is widely spread.C．English makes a great difference D．English is used to translate books.【2】Which of the following includes two items that have the similar meaning?A．A wise man and a wise guy.B．Overlook and oversee.C．Quite a lot and quite a few.D．Hot as hell and cold as hell.【3】The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “__”.A．blow B．roll upC．get hurt D．finish【4】What does the last paragraph want to show?A．Human beings are very clever.B．English is difficult to learn.C．There are too many words in English.D．The same words have different meanings.二、信息匹配Everyone wants to perform well at school.Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!【1】I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worth adding.

I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was gone one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last part of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently(天真地) in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”21.What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probabl y mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Spoke unhappily.22.What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bus home23.The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayB. he was concerned about his son’s safetyC. he wanted to help his son build up courageD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he bounced(跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “ This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see on the faces of the people you meet?32. Why was the first dog surprised when he entered the house?A. Because he was always in a mixed mood.B.
