AListed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world.The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, SpainBuilt in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers’ desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.The Louvre in Paris, FranceProbably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the "Mona Lisa". The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, AmericaJust opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man’s private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, ItalyWalking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace-like structure with frescoes（湿壁画）decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over（印象深刻） by the works by Botticelli, such as "The Birth of Venus". Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.21．Which of the following is the most popular？A. The Louvre.B. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.C. The Barnes Foundation.D. The Uffizi Gallery.22．What makes the Barnes Foundation particular？A. Its structure.B. Its collection.C. Its location.D. Its history.23. Where can we enjoy the classic artworks from 1000 years ago？A. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.B. The Louvre.C. The Barnes Foundation.D. The Uffizi Gallery.24．What type of writing is this text？A. An activity poster.B. An news report.C. An art show review.D. A travel guide.BRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know. Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note："Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce （加强） your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.25. How many ways are mentioned in the text to help remember other s’ names？A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.26. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _____.A. all their namesB. just their last namesC. as many names as possibleD. a couple of names first27. If you can't remember someone's name, you may _____.A. tell him a white lieB. tell him the truthC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you28. What’s the main idea of this passage？A. How to make use of associations.B. Importance of attending parties.C. Tips on an important social skill.D. How to recite and repeat names.CSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past？When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often--only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realizethat life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.29. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history30. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary？A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.31. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itDNoticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill. Here are some tips for you to learn to read body language.Pay attention to how close someone is to you. The closer he is, the warmer he is thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less he actually cares of the situation or person. Ifyou move a little closer to them, does he move further away？ If he doesn’t move further away, he is receptive（易接受的）. And if he responds by getting even closer to you, he probably really likes you or is very comfortable around you. But please keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another!People who look to the sides a lot are nervous or lying. If someone looks down at the floor a lot, he is probably shy. It is believed that in some cultures looking at someone in the eyes is anot listening.People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may suggest that they are uncomfortable or just trying to hide something on their shirts. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, he is open to what is being discussed.During a talk, if a person who wears is pushing them up onto his nose again, with a slight frown（皱眉）, that may also suggest he disagree with what you are saying.A. he is a receptive personB. he wants to tell you some secretsC. he feels nervous about your meetingD. he likes you or feels comfortable around youA. suggestsB. producesC. expectsD. believes35. What can we know from the passage？A. Being close to others always means kindness.B. Your gestures may tell others how you feel.C. People will look at your eyes when lying to you.D. Wearing glasses can help you hide your feelings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

At the time, women generally did not have careers, for they were expected, instead to focus fully on marrying and raising families. Sophia Behrs was one such young woman. When Sophia married Leo Tolstoy(列夫·托尔斯泰), he was already a well-known author. Both the couple were literary in their interests: Sophia had been a gifted student and, even at a very young age, was a keen and sensitive reader.Sophia's marriage to Tolstoy gave her the opportunity to put her abilities as a good readerto use, often advising him on his work throughout the writing process. She served as her husband's copyist, writing out multiple copies of his novels by hand. She made suggestions for and edits to his work, many of which were incorporated into the final product. In addition, she served as his manager, publicist, and agent, keeping track of the financial and legal sides of her husband's writing career. If Sophia were alive today, she might have found her calling at a publishing house or literary-agency.She wrote her own Russian-language grammar textbook and translated texts from German and English. She also wrote fiction, including a revision of Leo's novella The Krcutzer Sonata. In that story, a man recounts the dramatic breakdown of his marriage; Sophia retold the narrative from his wife's point of view. The famous writer was impressed by his wife's literary talents. “What force of truth and simplicity!” he wrote in his diary upon reading one of her stories.However, Sophia never sought publication for her own work. Writing was not a fantasy that she took seriously; rather, she regarded it with “a certain contempt(轻蔑) and irony.” Limited by personal modesty, her domestic duties, and the expectations for women in her lifetime, Sophia never even considered seeking fame of her own. Yet Tolstoy would never have been able to produce the work he did without Sophia's vital contributions.4、What advantages did Sophia's marriage bring to her?A.A chance to put her literary gift to use.B.A strong interest in literature.C.A superior sense of gracefulness.D.A career at a literary agency.5、What can be inferred about Sophia from paragraph 3?A.Her grammar textbook was easy and simple.B. She almost went through a marriage breakdown.C.Her revision of The Kreutzer Sonata was admirable.D.She had a dramatic and imaginative writing style.6、Which of the following words best describe Sophia according to the last paragraph?A.Responsible but proud.B.Thoughtful but strong-willed.C.Loving and ambitious.D.Talented and selfless.7、Which might be a suitable title of the text?A.Sophia,a Born Publisher.B.The Marriage of Tolstoy and Sophia.C.Sophia,the Other Tolstoy.D.Literature on Russian Women.According to a recent study by Keith Robinson, children’s school grades may be brought down by their parents who help their children with homework. Other forms of parental involvement(参与), including volunteering at school and watching a child's class carefully, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents pay too much attention to their kids’ education, which leads to declines(下降) in their performance at school. One of the things that was consistently not beneficial was parents' help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks. “They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learn it themselves, but they're still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant. Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”, admitte d Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. “A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school are hardly involved. In a more reasonable way, they made their children know how success at school could improve their lives.”8、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To present the finding of a recent study.B. To discuss how to improve children's grades.C.To tell what kind of parenting is good.D.To show different parenting involvements.9、What kind of role should parents play in children's education according to Keith Robinson?A.Partners.B.Trainers.C.Monitors.D.Standers-by.10、What is the major finding of Robinson's study?A.Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B.Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.C.Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.D. Parents are not able to help with children's homework.11、Which of the following might Robinson agree?A.Children with good academic success do not have involved parents.B.Parental involvement was the root cause of academic success.C.Parents should let children know the importance of success at school.n-American parents are hardly involved in children's education.As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don't exercise, the changes can start even sooner.“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That's what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven't been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic(无氧) exercise-balance training and weight training-three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30- or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump(泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts ofthose who participated in less intense exercise didn't change, he says.“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven't already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine's findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.12、What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?A.The right way of exercising.B.The aging process of the heartC.The causes of a heart attack.D.The difficulty of keeping fit.13、In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?A. Diet plan.B.Previous physical conditionC.Professional background.D.Exercise type14、What does Levine's research find?A.It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.B.Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.C.High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.D.The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.15、What does Dr.Nieca Goldberg suggest?A.Conducting further research.B.Making use of the findings.C.Interviewing the study participants.D.Clarifying the purpose of the study.二、七选五16、 Recent years, studying groups has been becoming more and more popular in class, for its advantages are as following.Understand information faster. Students will learn faster working in a group than working alone. When working on your own, lots of time can be wasted thinking over difficult problems. ①_____ You can also help others when they have difficulties understanding something that you have understood.Help with procrastination(拖延). ②_____ When in a study group, meeting at a certain time can keep you from procrastinating. You are less likely to put off your tasks because otherpeople are depending on you.Have different ways of thinking. Each group member has different ideas to offer to the study group. Studying by yourself will always lead to one way of thinking. ③_____ Listening and asking questions will provide more food for thought and help develop your thinking skills.Deal with test anxiety. Test anxiety is an uneasiness experienced before, during, or after an examination because of worry or fear. Some students find that anxiety influences their learning. Being in a study group with classmates is often helpful. ④_____⑤_____ Study groups can help you develop as a student, person, and professional. They encourage members to think creatively and build strong communication skills. It has been proven that those in study groups feel more confident and comfortable about reaching their learning goals. Most jobs require working with others, so study groups are excellent practice in preparation for the work world.A.Join a study group makes learning fun!B.Improve your personal or professional skills.C.You will learn actively by taking part in learning activities.D.Many students are likely to study the night before the exam.E.Instructors agree that study groups improve students' performance on tests.F.However, working in groups, you can learn quickly by simply asking a question.G.Yet, in groups, you receive different opinions that help you reach your own ideas.三、完形填空（15空）Like many young people, Jessica wants to travel the globe.

2020-2021学年高二英语下学期开学考试试题 (IV)
2020-2021学年高二英语下学期开学考试试题 (IV)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每题2分，共30分）Most students spend their school days sitting at desks learning. Aurelious Woolfolk, however, does a lot more than sit at a desk when he is in school. He scrambles up high ladders, walks down the sides of buildings, and rides in a fire engine. He is learning to be a firefighter at the New Haven Fire Academy.Woolfolk and 28 other students are currently learning what it takes to bee a firefighter. Classes at the fire academy, which is in Connecticut, last for about 22 weeks. For two days each week, the students sit in a classroom to learn science, math, and emergency medicine. They learn the science of fires, how to calculate water pressure, and how to treat medical emergencies. During the other three days, the students go outside and learn how to hook hoses to fire hydrants(消防栓), climb buildings, rescue people trapped in burning buildings, and many other things.“Firefighters have to know lots of different things,” said Pablo Menendez, an i nstructor at the school. “We have to treat medical emergencies, know how to handle dangerous chemicals, and rescue people who have fallen from cliffs.”Teamwork is one of the most important lessons students learn at the school. “Working together saves lives,” said Capt. William Seward, the director of the academy. “Students need to learn that they are part of a team.”Fighting fires is not easy. The suits and equipment a firefighter wears weigh about 40 pounds.Firefighters are very busy. In New Haven, they respond to 32,000 emergency calls a year Each time firefighters go out, they know they might not e back. Across the United States about 100 firefighters die each year. “That’s whythe lessons learned here at the academy are so important,” said Seward. “Wha t they learn here can save their lives.”Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs are. Their training helps them overe their heights and fires. “When you’re up there on the ladder looking down, it’s scary,” said one student. “To do this job, you’ve got to wipe out the fear.” Firefighters overe their fear for one reason. “I wanted to help other people,” said Leah Harwin. “I think it is important to help other people whenever you can.”（）21．According to the passage, which activity must a student at the Fire Academy plete?A. handling dangerous chemicalsB. swimming under pressureC. jumping from a buildingD. sitting in the classroom（）22．Why is it important for students at the Fire Academy to have lessons inside and outside the classroom?A. Firefighters need to practice emotional skills to calm people down.B. Firefighters need to practice mental and physical skills to succeed.C. Firefighters need to practice wearing heavy gear to get used to the weight.D. Firefighters need to practice climbing a ladder to overe a fear of height（）23．What is the purpose of the passage?A. to describe the activities at the New Haven Fire AcademyB. to inform the reader of the dangers of being a firefighterC .to pare the New Haven Fire Academy to public schoolD. to force students to attend the New Haven Fire AcademyBSome colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical(临床的)depression(沮丧). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals(个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight(整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness(不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He sa ys there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.（）24．Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.A.they are similar to humans in dealing with colorsB.they are easy to observe and studyC.they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD.they are active at night and sleep during the day（）25．What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A.They drink less sugary water.B.They don’t sleep well.C.Their eyesight bees worse.D.Their energy level bees low.（）26．__________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.A.Dim lightB.Red lightC.Blue lightD.Darkness（）27．What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?A.Not being exposed to dim red light when using puters.B.Equipping their puter screens to put it more in the reddish light.C.Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D.Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.CAlmost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them how they should behave. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure thatthey know you expect them to follow those rules, too.Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt —physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”（）28. The second paragraph tells readers that ________.A. children should be trained to be more independentB. adults should tell children some safety rules firstlyC. adults should set a good example to behave well in a theme parkD. there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park（）29. Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?A. They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.B. They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.C. They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.D. Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.（）30. If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________.A. tell him to be relaxedB. make him share your interestC. give up the present activityD. encourage him to be brave（）31. We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ________.A. he doesn’t lik e to visit a theme park with his childrenB. parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme parkC. not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme parkD. visitors should arrange everything carefully before startingDWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasin g an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements e from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used indeveloping countries，especially in India and rural China.（）32. What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 2 me an?A produce B. hold C. prevent D. copy（）33.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA．c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b（）34.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process（）35.The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poorD．an invention copying photosynthesis第二节七选五（共5题每题2分共10分）How to FocusImproving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to acplish a task. 361. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothingbut work on a certain task. 37 It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.2. Meditate. Meditating is more than a great way to relax. 38 When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.3. Read more. 39 Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.4. Multi-task less. 40 However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you’ll see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half.A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus.B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to acplish goals more quickly.F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook?G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.第二部分完形填空（每小题1.5分）Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and instantly became the world’s most recognizable and popular theme park.

As she once said to herself, “I would never sit back in rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more active old age.She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12, she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery（刺绣) pictures as ahobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it,” she said.4．What can we learn about Grandma Moses?A．She painted oils as a child.B．Her marriage life was not happy.C．She still led an active life when she was old.D．She stopped painting in her late seventies.5．Which of the following words can best describe her life?A．Easy-going& active.

One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.Katherine Roboff is the group’s executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the group’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade—in US, that is usually age 11 or 12.Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade—around age 13—they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student’s future more than anythingthat happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer, when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.The purpose of the program is to help them those after-school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high schools.”8．What can we know from the second paragraph?A．Higher Achievement works with college students.B．Many students have doubts about the organization.C．Higher Achievement has spread throughout the world.D．Higher Achievement has helped many students.9．If students are doing well academically in eighth grade, _________.A．they are certain to go to collegeB．they are to succeed when they grow upC．they are more likely to finish high school on timeD．they don’t need any help in their studies10．Who are the working targets of Higher Achievement?A．Those students in higher school.B．Those students in middle school.C．Those students who don’t work well.D．Those students whose family can’t afford.11．Which of the following could be the title of the text?A．Higher Achievement Helps StudentsB．Public School Students Need HelpC．Katherine Roboff Works with StudentsD．Higher Achievement Looks After StudentsIf you expect to work in the future in the travel industry, you should begin learning Chinese.That's because Chinese people spent nearly $258 billion in total on international travel last year. That's more than twice the combined amount spent on international travel by people from the United States and Germany, the next two biggest-spending nations. The Chinese are relative（相对的）newcomers when it comes to traveling beyond their nation's borders and only a small percentage of them travel outside of China each year. Given the size of that nation's population, even that small percentage represents well over 100 million Chinese travelers to foreign destinations.Yet Chinese citizens flew, on average, just 65 miles last year versus（与......相对）the 227 miles flown on average by US residents（居民），the 285 miles flown on average by Germans, the 271 miles flown on average by those from the United Kingdom, and the 632 miles flown by the average Canadian last year.China's high total spending on international travel and its low average number of miles flown on international travel may show that while only a small percentage of China's residents actually travel outside their homeland, those who do spend a lot of money don't go that far. But there are reasons for China's low average of miles travel on international trips. A small percentage of Chinese now have enough money to travel internationally, while the number of people who do travel outside of China is growing fast every year. Besides, a large percentage of Chinese people traveling abroad stay close to home.However, as more and more Chinese gain the financial ability to travel internationally and as Chinese become more and more interested in visiting destinations farther and farther away from home, their spending on international travel and the average distances flown will both rise rapidly.12．Why is it important to learn Chinese for the future work in travel industry? A．Because being good at Chinese is a must for future work.B．Because Chinese is most commonly used in travel industry.C．Because, travel industry requires employees to learn Chinese.D．Because China will probably be a big-spending nation in international travel13．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．There is indeed great potential in Chinese travel market.B．People from different countries have different preferred destinations.C．Chinese people are more willing to travel abroad compared with Canadians. D．People going on a journey around the world hate taking international planes.14．In what countries may many Chinese people choose to travel at present?A．North America. B．Developing countries. C．Southeast Asia. D．European countries.15．Which of the following words can best describe the future of Chinese people's traveling abroad?A．Hopeless. B．Promising.C．Confusing. D．Unclear.二、七选五How to Solve Worry ProblemsThe Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel once sai d, “Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young.” 16．Then how can we find a quick, surefire recipe for handling worry situations? Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries.Get the factsWhy is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we can't possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently. 17．This is the chief cause of worry. Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge.Analyze the facts.However, getting all the facts in the world won’t do any good until we figur e out what these facts mean and interpret them. 18．In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensibledecision. Therefore, when we are worried, sit down and write down two questions-and the answers to these questions, “What am I worrying about?" and "What can I do about it?”Arrive at a decisionWorry is killing. So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps, we could take and then writing down the probable results of each step and calmly coming to a decision. 19．It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad.Act on that decision20．Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate and retrace our steps. Don't lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don't look back our shoulders. A．Write down our worries.B．There comes a time when we must decide.C．Once we have made a decision, go into action.D．Without the facts, we will be left in confusion.E.And so do housewives, horse doctors and bricklayers.F.It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down.G.Experience has proved the enormous value of arriving at a fixed decision.三、完形填空My sister is nine years old, a little bit fat and doesn’t 21 really well at school.
