辽宁省大连市第十一中学高二语文上学期期中试题
大连市第十一中学2016—2017学年度上学期第一学段考试试卷高二语文时间：150分钟分数：150分一、现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成l～3题。
美学在中国文化史上的缺乏独立性，源自传统诗学追随儒家的政治功利主义和伦理实用主义。
代表作是南朝刘勰的《文心雕龙》，此书以治国平天下式的雄心壮志，建立一个包罗万象的诗学体系。
开篇《原道》一章，便确立了“原道心以敷章、研神理而设教”的道统原则。
这种道统诗学上承曹丕《典论•论文》所主张的经世致用文学观，即所谓“盖文章，经国之大业，不朽之盛事”；下开文以载道之先河。
唐代，韩愈提出“文以明道”；白居易提出“文章合为时而著，歌诗合为事而作”；宋儒周敦颐明确“文以载道”的宗旨，都不过是《文心雕龙》顺理成章的延伸。
由此可见，王国维和陈寅恪之于中国诗学缺乏独立的美学原则的感慨，洞见到了中国文化的核心部分：非功利、非实用的审美传统始终阙如。
正是这种阙如，导致中国的诗学传统和文学传统总是无法进入精神层面，仅止于世俗的功用，越来越滑入俗世的纷争、功利的得失。
“诗言志”沦为诗人得意或失意的宣泄；评话衍生出的小说，或聚焦于庙堂纷争的计谋较量如《三国演义》，或忘情于江湖造反的草莽传说如《水浒传》；更不用说《隋唐演义》《封神演义》之类的演义小说，既没有《山海经》神话中的阳刚，也没有《诗经》三百篇中的清纯。
人的尊严、悲悯的情怀、君子有所不为有所必为的底线，在这类文学中被小不忍则乱大谋、无毒不丈夫的厚黑原则取代，这种审美趣味造就一代又一代的草莽，制作出一个比一个暴虐的帝王，进而滋生出民族诸多难以治愈的心理疾病：诡计崇拜、暴力崇拜、权力崇拜等等。
在这样的美学背景下，《红楼梦》的问世是一场审美革命：从容推出女性崇拜、悲悯崇拜，拒绝功名崇拜。
《红楼梦》的问世使这个民族的审美趣味，不再纠缠于生存博弈而具有纯粹精神的存在意味，从而在美学上回归《山海经》式的混沌和《诗经》国风所具的清纯，达成名副其实的文艺复兴。

ABig messaging apps abroadWhile WeChat is China’s biggest mobile messaging app, there are many equivalent apps in other countries that offer similar features.WhatsApp (US)Users: more than 600 millionPlatforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerryFeatures: text chat, push-to-talk, file sharing, location sharingWith more than 600 million active users, WhatsApp is one of WeChat’s biggest competitors. Developed by two ex-Yahoo employees in 2009, WhatsApp originally focused on text chat, but on Aug. 6 it also started push-to-talk service. It’s noted for its accessibility, ease of use and the absence of advertisements. The service is free for the first year, after which $0.99 (6.06 yuan) is charged for a one-year subscription.KakaoTalk (South Korea)Users: more than 100 millionPlatforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Bada (an operating system developed by Samsung)Features: text chat, group chat, push-to-talk, group calls, file sharingWith more than 100 million users in more than 230 countries, KakaoTalk is a multi-platform texting application that allows users to send and receive messages for free. With KakaoTalk, users can message each other one-on-one or in group chats with unlimited numbers of friends. You can also choose from many animated emoticonsand share them with friends.Line (Japan)Users: more than 600 millionPlatforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and PCFeatures: text chat, group chat, push-to-talk, file sharing, location sharing, gaming, stickersLine tops the list of the most downloaded free apps in 52 countries. Apart from text and voice messaging, Line provides its users with more than 250 original stickers and emoticons to buy from its own shop. In the first quarter of 2013 alone, it made $17 million just from stickers. The popular app also allows friends to battle each other in the LINE GAME.21. Compared with the other two apps, which of the following features makes Line stand out?A. Group mobiles games.B. Free emoticons.C. Free downloads of the app.D. Text and group chat.22. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Users can always send and receive messages for free with WhatsApp.B. Users can share files with any of the three apps.C. KakaoTalk frees users from unwanted advertisements.D. Line is the most popular one of the three apps.23. In which part of the newspapers may this article be found?A. Advertisement.B. Economy and Finance.C. Entertainment.D. Science and Technology.BWhat happens inside the head of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball？ That question inspired a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults，men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer sincechildhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions（脑震荡）in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complex new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month，the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic （外伤的）brain injury ”, like that after a serious concuss ion, the researchers reported，even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.24. The passage is most probably a __________.A. news reportB. research reportC. medicine instructionsD. text for doctors25. What was used to find the structural changes in the brain?A. Learning skills.B. Advanced computers.C. Special questionnaires.D. A new technique M.R.I.26. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have __________.A. a significant effect on one’s brainB. little effect on one’s brainC. nothing to do with the brain injuryD. one’s memory improved27. What do we know about the volunteers?A. They were all researchers about soccer.B. They had serious injury on the head.C. They were adults who still played soccer.D. They all head children who played soccer.COne of the main creators of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet, "A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths, or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way." In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging. Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information. However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog. This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources. Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge. It's interesting to note that Wikipedia（维基百科）has had to take steps to prevent false information being added to the biographies of living people. It's easy for anybody to edit the open source. However, some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials. In seeking to raise standards, Wikipedia has sought to stop publishing the false material.At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work. The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet. There appears no slow-down in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries. Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody. Sir Tim was recently launching a new joint initiative（倡议）between Southampton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science. The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.28. What is the especially serious problem that Sir Tim refers to?A. The growth of the Internet is too fast.B. The Internet has a side effect on young children.C. The false information spreads rapidly on the Internet.D. The Internet companies compete against each other in an unfair way.29. What causes the biographies to have false information?A. Anybody can easily edit the biographies.B. Wikipedia doesn't take any steps.C. The Internet users refuse other users to correct it.D. Wikipedia attempts to publish false materials.30. According to the last paragraph, the purpose of the joint initiative is to_________.A. enlarge the use of the InternetB. create the first degree in science and technologyC. provide free Internet access to the poor countriesD. improve the reliability of online content31. We can learn from the text that __________.A. Sir Tim has built two schools recentlyB. Sir Tim hopes everyone can use the Internet for freeC. the Internet is harmful to the people's healthD. the Internet develops slowly in the developing countriesD.In the dead of winter, we don’t typically think about spending time outdoors, but according to many physicians we should. The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health – Vitamin D.This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease, cancer and any other life-threatening diseases. The recommended daily requirement is 400 –600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.Even during winter, just a 10-minute walk at midday can keep the body’s VitaminD at healthy levels. During brief winter walks, we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods. Salmon (三文鱼) is one of the best sources of th Vitamin. Egg yolks (蛋黄) , cheese, mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers, food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products. The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s. At that time, many children were suffering from rickets, an illness that is caused by a shortage of Vitamin D. It made the children’s bones soft and w eak. Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option: Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物). These products are widely sold in stores. However, anyone considering talking supplements should consult a physician first.32. During the winter months, people ________ .A. aren’t able to meet their deadlines.B. often don’t dress warmly enoughC. generally like to remain indoors.D. Leave lots of work for others to do33. According to the text, Vitamin D _________ .A. can be obtained by being exposed to the sunB. can be used to cure life-threatening diseasesC. can be mainly found in some milk products.D. can make the children’s bones soft and weak.34. Why is salmon mentioned in this article?A. It’s seldom prepared in the correct way.B. It’s a useful addition to a person’s diet.C. It has a huge impact on the environment.D. Its advantages have been overvalued.35. The main purpose of this article is _______.A. to introduce a valuable nutrientB. to advertise Vitamin D supplementsC. to note risks associated with a nutrientD. to explain how a nutrient was discovered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 sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health – Vitamin D.This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease, cancer and any other life-threatening diseases. The recommended daily requirement is 400 – 600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.Even during winter, just a 10-minute walk at midday can keep the body’s Vitamin D at healthy levels. During brief winter walks, we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods. Salmon (三文鱼) is one of the best sources of th Vitamin. Egg yolks (蛋黄) , cheese, mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers, food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products. The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s. At that time, many children were suffering from rickets, an illness that is caused by a shortage of Vitamin D. It made the children’s bones soft and weak. Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option: Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物). These products are widely sold in stores. However, anyone considering talking supplements should consult a physician first.32. During the winter months, people ________ .A. aren’t able to meet their deadlines.B. often don’t dress warmly enoughC. generally like to remain indoors.D. Leave lots of work for others to do33.

辽宁省大连市第十一中学2016_2017学年高二英语上学期第二次月考试题
辽宁省大连市第十一中学2016-2017学年高二英语上学期第二次月考试题第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共 2 节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21. The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that .A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him22. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D. Lying on the ground.23. We can infer from the text that .A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recoveryB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery24. What's the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable ExperienceBWant to live longer? Win an Oscar.A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks. So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”, she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手). Actors who have won more than once, like Hepburn, live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.“We found that they died from the same things we a ll die from—cancer, heart disease, but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr. Donald Redelmeier, the leading author of the study. Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one’s soul become more full of lif e.“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier, “or that people should go out and take acting courses. Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study’s implied conclusion, he says, is that doctors should ask about their patients’ personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespear e in Love. Redelmeier says, “She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”“We found, too, those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.25. Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either. We can tell__________.A. Tom probably will have a longer life than Peter.B. Peter probably will have a longer life than TomC. Both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancyD. Both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life.26. According to the passage, we know __________.A. When Katharine Hepburn was 94, she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizesB. In general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person’s life expectancy.C. That Gwyneth Paltrow’s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the study.D. If you want to live a happy and long life, you should take acting courses and win Oscars.27.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Most Oscar Winners Live Longer LivesB. How to Live a Long LifeC. A New Study about LongevityD. An Amazing FindingCWorld leaders arrived at the G20 summit in Australia this weekend to help resolve serious global crises - but they stayed for the koalas.All heads of state at the summit, from the ‘leader of the free world’ President Obama to the ‘Iron Chancellor’ Angela Merkel, proved powerless against the lovely animals.Even the usually stone-faced Vladimir Putin, was pictured cracking a rare smile while embracing a koala, who appeared to be trying to escape the Russian president’s iron grip.President Obama was equally overjoyed to spend some quality time with a koala named 'Jimbelung.' But Obama's new furry friend did not seem very much impressed with the UScommander-in-chief, and instead focused his attention on the koala in the arms of Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott.At one point, the two furry creatures even exchanged a kiss, to the obvious delight of Obama and Abbott.Meanwhile the ladies of the G20 were also treated to the unique Australian experience and were led by Mr. Abbott's wife, Margie, through Brisbane's Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on Saturday.The G20 leaders' wives also got chances to hug some koalas and feed some Kangaroos. Chinese President Xi Jinping's wife Peng Liyuan and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's wife Laureen were among the first ladies who laughed nervously as a couple of large kangaroos sidled(慢慢走近) up to help themselves to the offered food.But the “ Koala diplomacy(考拉外交)” could only carry the western leaders so far.28.Where can we most probably find this passage?A. In a magazineB. In a newspaperC. In a science bookD. In a travel journal29.What does the underlined part “ Obama’s new furry friend” in Para. 4 most probably mean?A. Angela MerkelB. PutinC. Tony AbbottD. Jimbelung30.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. The purpose of the G20 summit is to solve serious global crises.B. Not all heads attending the Summit loved koalas.C. The G20 leaders’ wives didn’t love koalas at all.D. Putin loves smiling from time to time.31.What is the best title for the passage?A. The G20 SummitB. Leaders Gathered in AustraliaC. Koala DiplomacyD. Lovely KoalaDModern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered(干预) with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction.The harmfulness of man’s interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau （凯亚巴布高原） of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large-sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most enchanting（迷人的）region it has ever been our privilege to visit. "This was also the living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing o ff the deer’s enemies. In 25 years’ time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd，but a far greater loss resulted from starvation and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.32. The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from ________ .A. turning the forest into cultivated landB. interfering with natural cycle of forest lifeC. forest fires caused by man’s carel essnessD. cutting the trees for building materials33. "Engelmann spruce"（Para. 2）is most likely the name of ________ .A. a treeB. an animalC. a mountainD. a game34. The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in ________ years’ time.A.25B.6C.18D.1235. Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of _______.A. the coldB. the organized killC. the shortage of foodD. the poor management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填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答通卡上将该项涂黑。

AOur library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the wi-fi specially prepared for notebook computers, your can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.Group-study placesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people.All rooms are marked on the library maps.There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website.

You can use a room three hours per day,nine hours at most per week.Storage of Study MaterialThe library has lockers for students to store course literature, When you have obtained at least 40 credits(学分),you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.Rules to be FollowedMobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library..Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library,but you are allowedto have drinks and sweets with you.21.The library’s upper floor is mainly for students to .A.read in a quiet placeB.have group discussionsC.take comfortable seatsD.get their computers fixed22.Library computers on the ground floor .A.help students with their field experimentsB.contain software essential for schoolworkC.are for those who want to access the wi-fiD.are mostly used for filling out application forms23.What condition should be met to book a group-study room?A.A group must consist of 8 peopleB.Three-hour use per day is the minimumC.One should first register at the universityD.Applicants must mark the roomon the map24.A student can rent a locker in the library if he .A.can afford the rental feeB.attends certain coursedC.has nowhere to put his booksD.has earned the required creditsBDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the questionof how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day —which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’ s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency — writing without having to thinkabout it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(书写体), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.25.We can learn from Paragraph 1.A. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingB. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingC teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching jobD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely26.Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.B. The letters are repeated many times.C. Handwriting includes two skills.D. To write in cursive is taught first.27. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. unexpectedB. easy to readC. complexD. unreadable28. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Right or wrong: the death of handwritingB. How to improve handwriting in schoolC. Handwriting involves two skillsD. Handwriting lessons are on the way outCJohn H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.29. John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because ________.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown30. John’s mother ________.A. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard31. The story mainly tells us ________.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental (心理的) support John’s mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacksDSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendlyequipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.32. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Motor racing in the desert.B. Cycling around a lake.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D. Swimming in a sports center.33. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortages around the world.C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D. It needs water and much energy to keep its courses green.34. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because________.A. it uses fewer resourcesB. it improves our healthC. it is an outdoor sportD. it is recommended by experts35. The author writes the passage to_________.A. show us the function of major sportsB. introduce different types of sports sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. encourage us to go in for green sports第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读七选五：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。

I almost laugh out when I see you in myself, from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things. It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart. It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character, honesty, integrity(正直) ,and self-respect. You taught me to enjoy my work. You taught me to share, for only by giving something do I truly receive something. You taught me about love, as you loved all seven of us children so much. You set a good example to us by being at church each time the door was open. I was watching you as you led our family in prayer（祈祷）each night before going to bed. Through you Dad, I learned what is truly important in life. I now know that you continue to live with me and I hope I have passed the valuable traits down to my kids. You lost your father when you were only two years old. Your mother fell ill when you were 13 years old. You knew that dropping out of middle school and helping provide for your mother were necessary. So you did three jobs a day to support your mother and after you got married you worked even harder to support your family. So, parents ,especially fathers, remember that you do make a difference by what you teach your children. You can make a difference to the world. Children, now is the right time to express your love and thanks to your dads for what they do for you. A big hug, a warm thank-you, and living a life of purpose will give them more joy than you can imagine. 1. What makes the author laugh out loud is that ______. A. his dad stays with him most of the time. B. he is like his dad in appearance and behavior. C. His dad’s way of teaching children is out of date. D. His dad pays too much attention to unimportant things. 2. What can we know from the text about the author’s dad? A. He also learned a lot from his father. B. He lived a difficult life when young. C. He earned his living by working hard at a local church after getting married. D. He started supporting his mom upon graduating. 3. The underlined word “traits” in para.1 probably means “__________”. A. information B. standard C. advice D. qualities
B The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used 2
words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights. The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform（改革）. Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student’s performance in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) or Martin Luther King’s work, or anything else that might be tested. Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT. 4. What will be removed from the new SAT? A. Words that are often used. B. Words that are seldom used. C. Passages about human rights. D. Material about American historical documents. 5. What will be tested in the new SAT? A. All the different meanings of a word. B. The rare usage of the common words. C. The difficult words for foreign students. D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages. 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Eddie West is against the changes to the SAT. B. The SAT is an entrance test just for foreign students. C. The SAT is the only entrance test to American colleges. D. The foreign students should make great efforts to pass the SAT. 7. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How to prepare for the new SAT. B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT. D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.
