However, when he left home for college, he was able for the first time to start taking his life and weight into his own hands.He started by shopping at a local farmers’ market, an experience that inspired him profoundly. The idea that a farmer’s mark et represents local, sustainable, healthy food with a human connection where you can interact with the people that grow your produce was extremely appealing to him, and he began to think about the food that people at his university were eating. From what h e saw at farmers’ markets, Hai realized that dining hall food was not “rear” food A lot of it is frozen or processed, and has unhealthy additives. His ideas continued to develop as he started taking classes about food sustainability at university, and after the summer of 2014 during which he cooperated with other students9 he launched into his senior year at the University of California full force with the Real Food Challenge (RFC) campaign, a project he co-founded that aims to reinvest university spending in food that is “real”: ecologically-sound, community-based, humane, and fair; as opposed to those traditional purchases with those unhealthy additives and processed products.Not only has Hai started a movement of change across the university dining system, but he has also grown extremely as an individual，now with strong leadership abilities and great vision. In addition, after he started learning about food sustainability and taking action at university, Hai has lost over 100 pounds, and has been able to start enjoying activities such as backpacking and swimming that were not a possibility for him previously. He is confident instead of distraught now.5. When did Hai get the idea of “rear” food?A. When purchasing the locally-made foodB. When reforming the university dining system.C. When reinvesting university spending in food.D. When organizing the Real Food Challenge campaign.6. What benefit has the campaign brought to Hai’s occupational development?A. He has been hired by the university.B. He has become an expert in food fieldC. He has got excellent leading ability.D. He has become much thinner than before.7. According to Hai, “real” food is .A. rich in nutritionB. made by expertsC. frozen or processedD. healthy without additivesCScientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of t he caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts befor e last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologistwith the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?”Noonan asked. “ As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.8. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on ________.A. surrounding insectsB. eating mineralsC. diverse plantsD. absorbing air9. What can we infer about the eaves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The caves have been explored since they were formed.10. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Indifferent.11. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.DIt’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may n ot believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going aro und the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.12. The text is developed by ________.A. giving typical examplesB. following the order of spaceC. comparing and finding differenceD. analyzing a theory and arguing it13. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?A. volcanic eruptionB. floods arid droughtsC. changes in solarD. cycles concerning the Earth’s going a round the sun14. The underline word ‘‘identical” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. exactly the sameB. totally differentC. extremely importantD. partly independent15. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?B. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?C. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?D. What’s the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the p en, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.24. The story took place exactly ______ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab25. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ______ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone26. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ______ .A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam27. The boy knew everything ______ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the roomCCharlotte Hollins faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save a farm that their father worked on since he was 14. Although confident they will succeed, she lists farming’s many challenges:“You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices low. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”Like others around the world, Charlotte’s generation tend to leave the farm for cities.Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land. “I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay,” he said. “I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal to me. For young, ambitious people, farm life is hard”.For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much “in terms of money or lifestyle”. Hollins agrees that economic factors stop people from enjoying the rewards of farming. He describes it as a career that provides “for a vital human need”, allowing people to work “outdoors with nature”.Farming is a big political issue in the UK. The “Buy British” campaigns urge consumers not to purchase cheaper imported foods. The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.Celebrity chef Jam ie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance of the big supermarkets.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything – what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,” said Londoner Michaela Samson, 31.28. What are the challenges that British farmers face according to Charlotte Hollins?a. lonelinessb. thin profitsc. a lack of good equipmentd. long working hours but slow resultsA. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd29. Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?A. He hoped for a simpler life.B. He was fed up with a hard farm life.C. Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.D. He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.30. Which of the following can be Farmers’ Markets’ strong point?A. Lower prices.B. Flexible sizes.C. Convenient location.D. Healthier food.31. What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A. Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.B. Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.C. Most British people now feel doubtful of foods in big supermarkets.D. Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begin to save farms.DIt is important to protect yourself from harmful rays. But if you think a high-factor sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas （黑瘤）and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas – the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection – no sunscreen – seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also don't use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying – recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, use sunscreen and slap on a hat.32.What's people's common expectation of high-factor sunscreen?A.It will protect them from sunburn.B.It will keep their skin smooth ad fair.C.It will work for people of any skin color.D.It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Sunscreen can prevent all kinds of skin cancers.B. The studies are based on direct observation of the subjects.C. The studies may help people select the most effective sunscreen.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.34. What does the author suggest in order to reduce melanoma rates?A. Staying in the shade whenever possible.B. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.C. Using both covering up and sunscreen.D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.35. What is the best title for the text?A. No Way to Stop Harmful Rays!B. Does Sunscreen Prevent Skin Cancer?C. Did You Use Sunscreen In the Right Way?D. Skin Cancer-The Biggest Threat to Human Beings!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。

【配套K12】内蒙古包头市第四中学2018-2019学年高一英语上学期期中试题

包头四中2018-2019学年度第一学期期中考试高一年级英语试题第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，共20题，每题2分，满分40分）第一节：（共15题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项AMeganI' m based in Bahrain, and I have a small apartment there. The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning！FrankI enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and was really surprised when they asked me for more. I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it's great because I’m just doing what I like.GemmaI love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging(慢跑). As for my job—you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practise for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.RaoulMost people think I spend my day chopping(切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it's not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss —he shouts at me all the time — even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don't get much time off.21. What’s the biggest attraction of Megan’s job?A. The long holidaysB. Handing out food to peopleC. Getting to know different peopleD. The pleasant working environment22. Who loves working with words?A. MeganB. FrankC. GemmaD. Raoul23. What problem does Raoul face?A. His strict bossB. He is carelessC. His terrible cookingD. He fails to get enough sleepBIn 1909, when Tatiana was just 11 years old, her parents and older brother traveled to the United States. Because the family could not afford to buy her a ticket, she had to remain in Russia. She had lived with her uncle for almost a year in a small house before the special letter arrived from her father. “Dear Tatiana,” he wrote. “At last we have earned enough money to pay for your ticket. After you join us in New York, we will travel by train to a place called South Dakota where we have bought a farm.”A week later. Tatiana’s uncle used the money her father had sent to buy her a ticket for the Louisa Jane, a steamship that was leaving for America. Although she was lonely and missed her family, Tatiana quickly made friends with the other children on the Louisa Jane. Together, they invented games that could be played on the ship, and they ran around the decks(甲板).The next day, as Tatiana was walking along the deck, she heard some of the passengerstalking about the Statue of Liberty(自由女神像).This conversation made her puzzled(困惑的)because she knew that liberty was an idea. No one could see or touch it, so how could liberty? When she asked her friend’s father, Mr Dimitrivitc, he ex plained that the statue looked like a woman, but it stood for freedom. This explanation just made Tatiana more interested in the statue.One morning, Tatiana woke up to the sound of wild shouting. She ran upstairs and found all the passengers were crowded onto the deck. The shouts were really cries of excitement because the Louisa Jane had finally reached the United States. When Tatiana realized that she would soon see her family again, she joined in with shouts of her own. Mr. Dimitrivitch had told her that the statue stood for freedom, and she finally understood what he meant.24. Why did Tatiana stay in Russia?A. She loved her motherlandB. She needed to take care of her uncleC. Her parents wanted her to manage the farmD. Her parents were too poor to buy her a ticket25. What happened to Tatiana on the sea?A. She had a good timeB. She missed her life in RussiaC. She killed time by watching the seaD. She was looked after by Mr. Dimitriviteh26. How did Tatiana feel when she saw the statue?A. Proud.B. ExcitedC. Puzzled.D Surprised27. What s the best title for the text?A. The value of freedomB. The Statue of LibertyC.Journey to a new lifeD.Tatiana’s life in AmericaCI was asked by a reader recently why so many animals seem to have pink ears, when their bodies are all different colours? The truth is that most animals actually don’t have pink ears. Let us explain.Near the equator (赤道), where the climate is hot, animals are likely to have darker skin including on their ears. Think of the African elephant, which has quite dark ears. In colder climates, skin colour is usually lighter and often pink.Why is skin colour different in different climates? Skin pigmentation(染色), which is what gives skin its colour, can protect against sunburn and skin cancer(癌症). When animals live in colder parts of the world, they don’t need it as much to survive. Light-coloured skin also helps animals stay warmer because it reduces heat loss, which is useful if you re in a colder climate.For most animals, the colour of their fur or other body covering has generally developed as camouflage. That allows animals to mix into the background and avoid being eaten, or for predators(捕食者) to remain hidden during hunting. One example is the sandy-coloured coat of the desert fennec fox, which uses camouflage for both hunting and hiding.By the way, in many animals, ears come in many different shapes and sizes. For example, in bats, the serval (a type of African wildcat) and the fennec fox, the ears are large compared to their body size --- this helps them hear better because it allows them to sense more sound waves. Naked mole-rats have tiny ears because they need to dig a lot. Big ears would get in the way. The other downside of big ears is that you can lose a lot of body heat. That s why animals that live in really cold places, like the Arctic fox, have quite small ears.28. Who is the author most likely to be?A. A teacherB. A librarianC A zoo worker.D A science writer29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. SunlightB. Camouflage.C. Skin pigmentationD. Light-coloured skin30. Which animal uses its skin colour to protect itself from being eaten?A. The Arctic foxB. The naked mole-ratC. The African elephantD. The desert fennec fox31. What do we know about animals living in cold places?A. They usually have small light-coloured earsB. They know ways to store body heatC. They need big ears to keep warmD. They usually have good hearing.DWe often play tricks on each other on April Foo’ s Day. However, it’s not just friends and family you have to be careful of---some big companies also do their best to fool the public.In 2002, the British supermarket chain, Tesco, advertised a ‘whistling（吹口哨）carrot’. The advertisement explained that the carrot had been genetically engineered （转基因)to grow with air holes down the side so that it would start whistling when it was fully cooked.Another famous April Fool’s Day joke, this time from 1962, comes from Sweden. It was reported on the news that it had become possible to watch colour programmes on black and white TVs because of some new technology the TV station had invented. People were told to pull a nylon stocking(尼龙长袜) over the screen so they would be able to watch the programmes in colour. Since almost everyone in Sweden had a black and white TV in those days, hundredsof thousands of people tried to do this, even though the news came on the morning of April 1st.While many of these jokes are limited to one country, Google went global with its first April Fool’s joke in 2000. They said that you could use your mind to control the search engine. The Mental Plex could read your mind to know what you wanted to search for! Another Google April Fool’s joke was Gmail Motion, which was introduced on You Tube on 1st April 2011. They said that because of a new technology, you could now control emails with your body. For example, pointing your thumbs(拇指) backwards over your shoulders would signal ‘reply all’. As people were already familiar with games which are controlled by body movements, Gmail Motion seemed quite believable.We may all like to think that we couldn’t be fooled by tricks like these. But, be careful, next year’s April Fool just might be you!32. According to the text, the carrot would whistle___________.A. when it was heatedB. because it was full of holesC because it grew upside downD. when it was completely cooked33. What was people’s reaction to the colour TV trick?A. Most people were doubtful about itB. Some people replaced their black and white TVsC. Quite a lot of people tried to follow the directionsD. Some people called the TV station for more information34. What’s special about Google April Fool’s jokes?A. They failed to fool the publicB. They reached the whole worldC. They combined games and body movementsD. They were designed to help people deal with emails35. How does the author develop the text?A. By giving examplesB. By stating argumentsC. By explaining scientific knowledgeD. By providing research results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。

The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.4. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.5. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.6. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.CIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research cantransform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.8. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.9. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.10. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.11. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.DWhen I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every nowand then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.12. How did the author's dad react to the burnt biscuit?A. He set it aside for breakfast.B. He ate butter and jelly instead.C. He uttered his complaints loudly.D. He ate it up as if nothing happened.13. Which of the following words can best describe the author's dad?A. Caring.B. Determined.C. ProudD. Hardworking.14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A. Show understanding to imperfect things.B. Ask the children to respect their parents.C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.D. Make important decisions on your own.15. In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?A. History and culture.B. Family and relationship.C. Cuisine and health.D. Entertainment and sports.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Try some of these places:Visit art museums.They of fer a variety of activities to excite your kids’ interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings (签名) by children’s favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special eventsthat are coming up.Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet (木偶) making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They’ll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.29. If a child is interested in the universe, he probably will visit ________.A．an art museum B．a hands-on science museumC．a Youtheater D．a natural history museum30. What can kids do at a Youtheater?A．Watch puppet making. B．Give performances.C．See dinosaur models. D．Look at rock collections31.

D．A news report.D.Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way. Eyes do speak,right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intention is obvious; that is, he wishes to attract her attention and to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is saying, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.33. Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage?A．To the opposite, stare at him or her.B．To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.C．In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.D．Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situation. 34. How can we tell if someone possibly lying?A．If he looks at you directly in the eye for too long. B. If he looks honest.C．If he looks at you occasionally. D．If he looks attentive.35. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Body language is important.B. Eye can tell a liar.C. Eye can speak.D. Eye contact benefits you.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。

If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intention is obvious; that is, he wishes to attract her attention and to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is saying, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.33. Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage?A．To the opposite, stare at him or her.B．To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.C．In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.D．Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situation. 34. How can we tell if someone possibly lying?A．If he looks at you directly in the eye for too long. B. If he looks honest.C．If he looks at you occasionally. D．If he looks attentive.35. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Body language is important.B. Eye can tell a liar.C. Eye can speak.D. Eye contact benefits you.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。
