leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool．"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．This has been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三项全能）．On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark ofthe morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated（主宰）that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered（克服）that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．Shine on，sweet baby．56．Kelly is nervous

fear．五、阅读理解B（每小题6分）60．（6分）Robotic PuppyRoll over，sit and fetch aren't commands normally given to a robot，but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy．CHIP （Canine Home Intelligent Pet）is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit，shake，dance and make all types of dog noises．It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner．"The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on，"said Sufer，CTO at WowWee．"It has its own life and own kind of intelligence．Even if you're not around，it's always doing something．"CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors（传感器）that give it a 360﹣degree view to find its ball．The pup is Bluetooth enabled，which connects to a wristband worn by its owner．The wristband，similar to a watch，displays icons（图标）for different commands such as a thumb﹣up，which allows you to give your pup a digital belly rub．With its owner wearing a smart wristband，it can even follow him around the room．"We worked on CHIP for about five to six months，"Davin Sufer，told dailymail．com，"We typically come up with a concept，model and product and get it on shelves within a year．"The company plans to start shipping units by next fall，which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per﹣owner interactivity．The high﹣tech toy company made its debut（处女作）in 2004by releasing the 1.5foot RoboSapien，which sold millions of units．MiP，which hit shelves last year，is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents．Users can direct it，change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad．It's loud，fast and active．About 15years ago，a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog﹣﹣﹣Tekno，the Robotic Puppy．The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40million more during its original four years of production．Tekno was built with over 160emotions and instructions，but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future．60．According to Sufer，the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that．A．it is loaded with special sensorsB．it can make all kinds of dog noisesC．it has quick response to the commandsD．it can do something without instructions61．CHIP can follow its owner with the help of．A．a watch B．a smart wristband C．pointy ears D．blue LED eyes62．From the passage，we can know．A．CHIP can be bought in the store nowB．WowWee introduced its first product last yearC．Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppyD．MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppy．63．（8分）Does happiness have a scent？When someone is hapy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstainfrom drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling﹣though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents﹣particularly their facial expressions﹣indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co﹣author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate（分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could beinvented．Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．63．What is the main finding of the new research？A．Men produce more sweats．B．Negative emotions have a smell．C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D．Women have a better sense of smell．64．The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably means．A．avoid B．practice C．continue D．try65．What is the application value of the new research？A．Perfumes could help people understand each other．B．Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C．Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．66．We can learn from the last paragraph that．A．happiness comes from a scent of sweatB．positive energy can deepen understandingC．people need more emotional communiationD．social surroundings can influence our emotions．七、阅读理解D（每小题8分）67．（8分）Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co﹣founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation （DEC），stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his hoe．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．People seem to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no inovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．Ted Turner （founder of CNN）knew little，if anything，about the news business，but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour，as was common before CNN．Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24hours a day．The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day．However，it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work．Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．Due to conventional thinking，the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted．They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future．Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk﹣taking，so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it．To survive，thrive and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change．67．DEC has disappeared probably because．A．the consumers didn't like its productsB．the leaders lacked the sense of securityC．the CEO stuck to the conventional ideasD．the employees took many risks with changes68．The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove．A．missing opportunities could lead to failureB．changing could contribute to business successC．watching news at the dinner hour is convenientD．conventional wisdom influences business success69．What does the underlined part probably mean？A．Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．B．Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．C．It's necessary to understand when people watch the news．D．It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time．70．The passage is mainly written to tell us that．A．old methods are changing with timeB．opportunities lead to business successC．conventional wisdom limits innovationD．successful companies need wise leaders．八、（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）71．（10分）Lost in the PostHow would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin？That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville．（71）Swift's management said it was an accident，but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures．According to te BBC reporter Jon Kelly，at the height of his fame，Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10，000letters a week．（72）The dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier．The White House says it deals with 20，000messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day．Some celebrities don't want letters．In 2008，Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy．（73）Robert Pattinson，star of the Twilight films，claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans，which takes up almost all his free time．Many artists，however，outsource（外包）the task of opening，reading and replying．Sylvia"Spanky"Taylor，58，has run a service in California that does just that since 1987．（74）Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration，she says．A few ask for money．A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity's security team and law enforcement．The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence（通信）．Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals，and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled．（75）For some，this is enough，according to Lynn Zubernis，an expert at West Chester University．She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply﹣rooted human need for community．A．Others do attempt to get through it themselves．B．In fact，there is no alternative to deal with the problem．C．How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one？D．Typically，correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed"signature"．E．Accordingly，the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate．F．She and her staff deal with up to 20，000items of mail a month on behalf of 26celebrities．G．This incident has caused a wide public concern about how the public figures deal with the letters or mails from the fans．九、书面表达一（15分）76．（15分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的班长李华，你们班的外教Lisa已经结束本学期的教学工作回到美国，请代表你们班给她写一封邮件．邮件的内容包括：（1）询问她的近况；（2）回顾在外教课上的收获；（3）表达对她的感谢和祝福．注意：（1）词数不少于50．（2）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．Dear Lisa，Yours，Li

immediately""我们必须掌握技术"可知，"or"意为"否则的话"符合题意．"but"表示转折，so意为因此，and并列连词．22．【解答】答案是A．考查动词的时态，由于这是一个由since引导的时间状语从句，故主句用一般过去时，从句用现在完成时．根据句意，可知答案选A…23．【解答】答案C．because"因为"，引导原因状语从句．when"在…时候"，引导时间状语从句．although"尽管，虽然"，引导让步状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．分析可知前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"让步"关系，再结合句子所表达的意思可知答案选C．24．【解答】答案：B．根据时间状语Yesterday可知，是指过去的事实，而图书馆关门应该是在我们去之前，所以为过去的过去，应该使用过去完成时，而it与close之间我逻辑上的动宾关系，需要使用被动语态；故选B．25．【解答】答案：D．根据no one knew 说明后面整句是宾语从句，结合句意，海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．因此宾语从句she was so sad缺原因状语，故选D26．【解答】答案是D．本题考查被动语态．根据句意判断，"Subway Line 16"和"put"之间是被动关系；由主句的将来时判断，Subway Line 16是将被投入使用，排除A和B；该句是when引导的时间状语从句，时间状语从句中往往用一般现在时表示将来，故选D．27．【解答】答案：D．根据I will give the ticket to，说明后面整句是介词后的宾语从句，而宾语从句wants to enjoy it 可知句子不完整，缺主语成分，whomever无论是谁，作宾语，排除B，选项AC后应加who，定语从句，故选D．28．【解答】答案A根据句子分析可知，___theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace是非限制性定语从句，可知在从句中缺少定语，故用whose，表示"…的"，根据句意，可知选A．29．【解答】答案是B．本题考查动名词做主语．分析句子结构发现，谓语动词is前______ your own needs 在句中充当主语，而动词能充当主语的形式是动名词和动词不定式，A是动词原形，C是过去分词或过去式，都不能做主语，所以排除A和C；D项可以是动名词的完成式，动名词的完成式要强调动名词的动作在谓语动词之前，而本题中没有时间上的先后关系，所以排除D；由此分析得出答案是B．30．【解答】答案：C．根据选项since自从…，unless除非…，once一旦，until直到…，再结合句意，一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然，可知此处缺少了一个引导时间状语从句的连接词，故C正确．31．【解答】答案是B．本题考查wish引导的宾语从句．wish引导的宾语从句往往用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反的愿望用过去时，be 动词用were；与过去事实相反的愿望用过去完成时；与将来事实相反的愿望用could/would+do；根据本题题干中的now可知是与现在事实相反的愿望，所以答案是B．32．【解答】答案是A．本题考查不定式做定语．题干中名词desire后面的escape充当定语，表示"渴望做…"，常常用动词不定式短语做desire的定语，构成"a desire to do"；过去分词做定语表示被动，不符合句意，所以排除B；现在分词完成式不做定语，所以排除D；现在分词一般式做定语表示"正在进行"，且单个的分词做定语必须放在被修饰的词的前面，所以排除C，答案选择A．33．【解答】答案是C．本题考查情态动词的辨析．should应该；must必须；may也许；would会．根据句意，"也许"有孩子在附近玩，所以驾驶员开车要限速，所以答案选C．34．【解答】答案：A 句中fix作keep的宾语补足语，fix与them之间构成动宾关系，要用表示被动的过去分词．故选A．35．【解答】答案是C．本题考查定冠词的用法．第一空特指真人秀"奔跑吧，兄弟（3）"，所以用the，排除A和B．第二空考查"the only"表示"仅有的，唯一的"；所以判断答案是C．三、完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）36．【解答】36﹣40 CADAC 41﹣45 ABCAB 46﹣50 CDBDC 51﹣55 DDABB36．C 结合下文we had to take the girls to their next activity 可知在送女儿们去下一个地方之前（before），"我们"只有二十分钟吃饭．though 意为"尽管"；unless 意为"除非"；while 意为"当…时"；均不符合文意．故正确答案为C．37．A 结合下文的dinner was not

2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高三（上）期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________I、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)1.We need to master this technology immediately，______ we will fall behind．（）A.butB.orC.soD.and【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据句意，"We need to master this technology immediately""我们必须掌握技术"可知，"or"意为"否则的话"符合题意．"but"表示转折，so意为因此，and并列连词．我们需要立即掌握这个技术，否则我们会落后．考查连词，考生需联系上下文做出判断．2.---Jack，you look so great！---Thanks!I have lost 20pounds since I ______ my personal trainer six months ago．（）A.hired B.have hired C.hire D.had hired【答案】A【解析】答案是A．考查动词的时态，由于这是一个由since引导的时间状语从句，故主句用一般过去时，从句用现在完成时．根据句意，可知答案选A…-Jack你真棒．-谢谢！自从六个月前我聘请了我的私人教练，我已经见到了20磅了．高考题目对时态的考查是重点，谓语动词要与时间状语保持一致，时态与时间是密不可分的，各种时态却要受到时间和语言环境的限制，根据题干提供的时间或者时间状语体现的时间来判断句子的时态是最直接的解题方法，扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解至关重要3.______ my father doesn't say a lot in daily life，he gives me much love and affection．（）A.BecauseB.WhenC.AlthoughD.If【答案】C【解析】答案C．because"因为"，引导原因状语从句．when"在…时候"，引导时间状语从句．although"尽管，虽然"，引导让步状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．分析可知前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"让步"关系，再结合句子所表达的意思可知答案选C．虽然我的父亲在日常生活中言语不多，但他给了我很多的爱和关怀．本题考查从属连词的用法．连词的用法辨析，要注意分析主从句之间的逻辑关系，再确定相应的连词，同时注意不同的连词的语义及用法区别．4.Yesterday we went to the library to do some reading，only to find that it ______．（）A.had closedB.had been closedC.wil closeD.will be closed【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据时间状语Yesterday可知，是指过去的事实，而图书馆关门应该是在我们去之前，所以为过去的过去，应该使用过去完成时，而it与close之间我逻辑上的动宾关系，需要使用被动语态；故选B．昨天，我们去图书馆读书，却发现图书馆早已经关门了．过去完成时态表示过去的过去，时间状语是过去的参照时间．和现在完成时态不同的是，现在完成时态的参照时间是现在．学习时，要注意区分．5.Helen ran out of the classroom in tears，but no one knew ______ she was so sad．（）A.whenB.whetherC.thatD.why【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据no one knew 说明后面整句是宾语从句，结合句意，海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．因此宾语从句she was so sad缺原因状语，故选D海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．本题考查宾语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型基础上便能选出正确答案．6.The traffic in Beijing will be better when Subway Line 16 ______ into service．（）A.would be putB.was putC.will be putD.is put【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查被动语态．根据句意判断，"Subway Line 16"和"put"之间是被动关系；由主句的将来时判断，Subway Line 16是将被投入使用，排除A和B；该句是when 引导的时间状语从句，时间状语从句中往往用一般现在时表示将来，故选D．当16号地铁投入使用后北京的交通将会好转．本题考查被动语态，要分析主语和动词之间的关系，联系动词本身的特定用法；在掌握被动结构的基本形式"be/get+过去分词"的基础上理解不同时态的被动语态的结构，最后进行综合判断．7.---Henry，can you go to the concert tonight？---I'm afraid I can't．I will give the ticket to ______ wants to enjoy it．（）A.someoneB.whomeverC.everyoneD.whoever【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据I will give the ticket to，说明后面整句是介词后的宾语从句，而宾语从句wants to enjoy it可知句子不完整，缺主语成分，whomever无论是谁，作宾语，排除B，选项AC后应加who，定语从句，故选D．---亨利，你今晚去听音乐会吗？---我恐怕不能．我将把票给无论是谁想要欣赏音乐会的人．本题考查宾语从句，在在充分分析句型基础上，同时熟知疑问词加ever及定语从句的基础上便不难选出此题答案．8.In December of 2015，the Second World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen，______ theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace．（）A.whoseB.whichC.whenD.where【答案】A【解析】答案A根据句子分析可知，___theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace是非限制性定语从句，可知在从句中缺少定语，故用whose，表示"…的"，根据句意，可知选A．2015年12月份，第二届世界互联网大会在温州举行，它的主题是维护网络安全和稳定．本题考查非限制性定语从句．考生需掌握非限制性定语从句的特征并结构具体语境做出判断．9.______ your own needs is as important as learning to express your emotions．（）A.UnderstandB.UnderstandingC.UnderstoodD.Having understood【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查动名词做主语．分析句子结构发现，谓语动词is前______ your own needs 在句中充当主语，而动词能充当主语的形式是动名词和动词不定式，A是动词原形，C是过去分词或过去式，都不能做主语，所以排除A和C；D项可以是动名词的完成式，动名词的完成式要强调动名词的动作在谓语动词之前，而本题中没有时间上的先后关系，所以排除D；由此分析得出答案是B．理解你的需要与学习表达情感一样重要．对于非谓语动词的选择，首先要根据句子的结构判断句中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词；如果是非谓语动词，在理解非谓语动词的基本用法的基础上再根据句子的结构做出判断．10.It takes a long time to restore nature_______ it is damaged．（）A.sinceB.unlessC.onceD.until【答案】C【解析】答案：C．根据选项since自从…，unless除非…，once一旦，until直到…，再结合句意，一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然，可知此处缺少了一个引导时间状语从句的连接词，故C正确．一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然．本题考查时间状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结合语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项的意思，11.It has been foggy for five days．How I wish it______ sunny now!（）A.would beB.wereC.had beenD.is【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查wish引导的宾语从句．wish引导的宾语从句往往用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反的愿望用过去时，be 动词用were；与过去事实相反的愿望用过去完成时；与将来事实相反的愿望用could/would+do；根据本题题干中的now可知是与现在事实相反的愿望，所以答案是B．已经连续五天多雾了．我多么希望现在是晴天．在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上，判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟，然后根据语境，选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟．12.When someone turns away his body，it means impatience and a desire ____ a conversation．（）A.to escapeB.escapedC.escapingD.having escaped【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查不定式做定语．题干中名词desire后面的escape充当定语，表示"渴望做…"，常常用动词不定式短语做desire的定语，构成"a desire to do"；过去分词做定语表示被动，不符合句意，所以排除B；现在分词完成式不做定语，所以排除D；现在分词一般式做定语表示"正在进行"，且单个的分词做定语必须放在被修饰的词的前面，所以排除C，答案选择A．当某人转过他的身子，那就意味着不耐烦以及想逃避一个对话．首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．13.Drivers are supposed to limit the speed in neighborhoods because children ____ be playing there．（）A.shouldB.mustC.mayD.would【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查情态动词的辨析．should应该；must必须；may也许；would会．根据句意，"也许"有孩子在附近玩，所以驾驶员开车要限速，所以答案选C．在附近开车应该限速因为小孩子们也许会在周围玩．要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上，整体理解语境中的情感态度，做出合理的判断．14.It's bad for your eyes if you keep them ______ on the screen for a long time．（）A.fixedB.fixC.fixingD.having fixed【答案】A【解析】答案：A 句中fix作keep的宾语补足语，fix与them之间构成动宾关系，要用表示被动的过去分词．故选A．你如果眼睛长时间盯着屏幕会对眼睛有害的．过去分词是非谓语动词的一种，用法很灵活，分为简单式done（表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作）；完成式having been done（表示先于谓语的动作）．学习时，要把握其用法特征：表示被动和完成．同时还要注意区分现在分词和不定式．15.In ______ hottest reality show Running Man III，Luhan is ______ only new member．（）A.a；不填B.a；anC.the；theD.the；不填【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查定冠词的用法．第一空特指真人秀"奔跑吧，兄弟（3）"，所以用the，排除A和B．第二空考查"the only"表示"仅有的，唯一的"；所以判断答案是C．在最热的真人秀奔跑吧，兄弟（3）中，鹿晗是唯一的新成员．掌握冠词要关注两大方面：一是积累有关不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词的相关的规则；二是积累特掌殊的短语．II、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共30.0分)A eed a DayIt was a busy day as usual．I was making sandwiches and

of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as

then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated （主宰）that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered（克服）that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．Shine on，sweet baby．36.Kelly is nervous when A．A.situations are new to herB.boys are around herC.she changes into a

have a scent？When someone is hapy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can youalso smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests thathappiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstainfrom drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co-author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate（分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented．Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．43.What is the main finding of the new research？______A.Men produce more sweats．B.Negative emotions have a smell．C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D.Women have a better sense of smell．44.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably means ______ ．A.avoidB.practiceC.continueD.try45.What is the application value of the new research？______A.Perfumes could help people understand each other．B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．46.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______ ．A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat。

Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his af ternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,” l ike we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressedBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old f riend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s –much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the wo rld, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Pr ocrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects. Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. Youmay be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop ma gically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their_______.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this culturaldecline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. A t American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’ desire for achievements七选五Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satis fied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options, – sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decis ion, and there are only bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happierwith your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs. WRITING 1 你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school. At the end of one class, I chatted with David Gale, a senior high jumper, about how to improve his 1 and how motivation played an important role in one's achievement. He, out of the blue, asked me what would happen if he broke the school record.Not 2 of his passion and determination, I paused for a moment, but then promised that I would paint his name on the wall of our classroom. He was very excited and suggested that I go purchase the paint.Nothing more was mentioned about the 3 until two weeks later, the young warrior ran into the classroom with a huge smile on his face. "I did it! I broke the record!" he shouted as I was still gathering information to 4 what I had promised him. I joined in with the high-fives and fist bumps 5 him.The next day, it was done! G-A-L-E. Huge blue letters with white edges, the school colors. I could see his excitement even surpassed the success itself. Actually, his coach said the wall was part of the 6 to break the record.What happened next was totally amazing. Many students, even from other classes, saw the name on the wall and 7 how they, too, could be considered for the wall. With the enormous 8 , I had to add more names to the wall, and more than 100 names appeared there in the following 10 years.Many folks admitted they would not have 9 what they did if the wall hadn't been part of the reward.

2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高一(上)英语期末考试
2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高一（上）英语期末考试一、阅读理解（共10小题；共20分）AThe Corn PlantingHatch is nearly seventy. He and his wife had a son, Will, who was a fellow always cheerful, bright, alert and a great favorite with all of us.After high school, Will went to Chicago, where he became a student in the art Institute. Another young fellow, Hal, from our town was also a student at the University in Chicago. They got together and had a good many long talks. I got it from Hal that in Chicago, Will's straightforwardness made him popular with all the young fellows.After Hal graduated, he came home and got a job. He used to go quite often to see Will's father and mother. The talk was always of Will. Hal said Will's parents were like two children wanting to know every little detail Hal could remember about their son's life in the big city.It was a spring night when Hal got a wire. Will had been killed in a car accident. We went along to take the message to Hatch and his wife. Hal did knock and old Hatch came to the door. Hal told him everything right into old Hatch and his wife. Old Hatch didn't say a word and stood there. The door went shut again with a bang. Suddenly, after a long time, the old man got a hand corn-planter and his wife got a bag of seed corn, and in the moonlight, that night, after they got that news, they were planting corn. They did a row across the field, and then at the end of each row they knelt side by side by the fence. The whole thing went on in silence.It was the first time in my life I ever understand something about the connection between certain people and the earth—a kind of silent cry, down into the earth, of those two old people, putting corn down into the earth. It was as though they were putting death down into the ground that life might grow again.1. What made Will popular in the Art Institute?A. His artistic talent.B. His good character.C. His family background.D. His friendship with Hal.2. According to paragraph 3, Will's parent .A. were very childrenB. were very talkativeC. were eager to know about their son's lifeD. were fond of the life in the big city3. On hearing the news of his son's death, Hatch .A. planted cornB. pushed Hal outC. burst into tearsD. fell on the floor4. According to the last paragraph, the old couple's behavior was to .A. reduce their painB. have a better harvestC. memorize their sonD. pray for their son's rebirthBThe Importance of After-school ProgramsIn the old model of teaching and molding the behavior of youngsters and teens, the home and the school had always been the two institutions tasked to provide counseling, support, learning and providing avenues for character development. With the increasing number of kids who are not able to go to school for various reasons from poverty to disenfranchisement, the need for alternative methods to help children outside schools is being brought into the spotlight. In this article, we explore some of the methods of after-school education and character building that is pivotal to mold in young minds despite the inadequacy of education institutions to open its doors to everyone.Here are some of the more common after-school and beyond-school activities that can be found in many communities all over the world.Sports Clubs. Sports has long been known as a key vehicle for molding minds and teaching them the value of teamwork, sacrifice, determination, hard work and many other important values. Beyond school, there are many sports clubs that offer an avenue for kids to bond together doing things that they are passionate about. Common examples in this area cover sports such as basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming, and more recent trends like skateboarding and surfing to name a few.Performing Art Clubs. While some kids easily gravitate towards sports, there are others who feel more at home on-stage or in a performing arts training room. Common examples include drama, ballet, dance, The Glee Club, painting classes, piano and violin lessons and many others. These classes hammer home the importance of being confident in your talents and taking pride in being able to perform in front of a crowd. Many of the best Hollywood actors and actresses that we know today started in school and community plays where they discovered their calling for the performing arts.Remedial Classes. While these are not necessarily considered to be part of school, these are intended to provide extra classes to help kids with their lessons. Common examples are those in difficult subjects like literature and reading, or sciences and mathematics.After School Nutrition Programs. Especially in impoverished communities where nutrition is a major problem, there are many organizations that provide students with warm and nutritious meals before they are allowed to go home. These supplementary feeding programs are essential activities to ensure that proper nutrition is maintained despite the tough financial standing of families in a specific neighborhood.5. If you are confident in yourselves, you can participate in .A. Performing Art ClubsB. Sports ClubsC. Remedial ClassesD. After School Nutrition Programs6. The After-school Programs now are intended for .A. body buildingB. character buildingC. helping kids in neighborhoodD. helping kids outside school7. Where can most probably we find the passage?A. On a notice board.B. On a university website.C. In an educational magazine.D. In an English teaching book.CReading books has always been regarded among the charms of cultured life and is respected and envied by those who rarely give themselves that enjoyment.This is easy to understand when we compare the difference between the life of a man who does no reading and that of a man who does. The man who doesn't have the habit of reading is imprisoned in his immediate world, in respect to time and space. He is limited to contact and conversation with a few friends, and he sees only what takes up a book, he immediate neighborhood. From this prison there is no escape. But the moment he takes up a book he immediately enters a different world, and if it is a good book, he is immediately put in touch with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him on and carries him into a different country or age, or unburdens to him some of his personal regrets, or discusses with him some aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about.But there is more to it than this. The reader is always carried away into a world of thought and reflection. Even if it is a book about physical events, there is a difference between seeing such events in person or living through them, and reading about them in books. The best reading is therefore that which leads us into deep though, and not that which is merely the report of events.The great are mainly concerned with getting reports about events and happening without value for further thinking.The poet Huang Shanku said, "A scholar who hasn't read anything for three days feels that his talk has no flavor, and his own face becomes hateful to look at in the mirror." What he means, of course, is that reading gives a man a certain charm, which is the entire aim of reading, and only reading with this purpose can be called an art. One doesn't read to "improve one's mind," because when one begins to think of improving his mind, all the pleasure of reading is gone. He is the type of person who says to himself, "I must read Shakespeare, so I can become an educated man". I'm sure that man will never become educated. Anyone who reads a book with a sense of obligation does not understand the art of reading.8. According to the passage, what is the advantage of reading?A. We can escape from our immediate world.B. We can experience the same feeling as the author.C. We can be led to thinking and reflecting.D. We can reduce our own regrets in life.9. The poet Huang Shanku is quoted to explain .A. the main pleasure of readingB. the status of reading as an artC. the importance of improving one's mindD. the influence of reading on one's appearance10. The author wants to show the importance of reading for .A. mastery of skillsB. enrichment of soulC. improvement of mindD. collection of information二、阅读与表达(混合式)（共10小题；共20分）The classroomAt the sight of my old professor, I froze.I had not seen him in sixteen years. I suddenly felt unprepared for this meeting—I hoped that he hadn't noticed my arrival. But Morrie was smiling at me, waiting for me to go inside.The sun beamed in through the window, lighting up the floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours. The phone rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper, Connie, to get it. She had been writing the callers' names in Morrie appointment book. People who wanted to have a talk with him. A discussion group.It was clear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the Morrie hotline "Nightline" had made him well-known—but I was impressed with all the friends that Morrie seemed to have. I though about my friends in college. Where had they gone?"You know, Mitch, now that I'm dying. I've become much more interesting to people.""You were always interesting.""Ho," Morrie smiled, "You're kind."No, I'm not, I thought."Here's the thing," he said, "People see me as a bridge. I'm not as alive as I used to be, but I'm not yet dead. I'm sort of ……in-between."He coughed, then smiled again. "I'm on the last great journey here-and people want me to tell them what to pack."The phone rang again."Morrie, can you talk?" Connie asked."I'm visiting with my old friend now," he announced, "Let them call back."I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the best student ho had left him sixteen years earlier. Had it not been for "Nightline", Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again. I had no good excuse for this. I had become too wrapped up in my own life. I was busy.What happened to me? I asked myself. Morrie's voice took me back to my university years, when I though rich people were evil, a shirt and tie were prison clothes, and life without freedom to travel around the world was not a good life at all. What happened to me?I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck and I never even realized I was doing it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if I'd simply been on a long vocation."Have you found someone to share your heart with?" he asked."Are you giving to your companies?Are you at peace with yourself?""Are you trying to be as human as you can be?"I hesitated, wanting to show I had been struggling with such questions. What happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money, that I would live in beautiful and inspirational places.Instead, I had been in the same city for ten years now, at the same workplace, visiting the same shop. I was thirty-seven, tied to computers and cell phones. I wrote articles rich athletes who, for the most part, could not care less about people like me. I was no longer young. I did not have long discussions about the meaning of life.My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.What happened to me?任务一：根据短文内容，判断正误，正确的为T，错误的为F。

Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding hi m a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting t eachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,”like we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around witha depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has notime to get dressed BEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought. Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve lea rned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off –big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate inorder to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved wi ll help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a sp eech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more tha n we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percentof seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.T o prevent the death of man’s character, Bro oks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. I n Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’desire for achievements七选五Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when sh opping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead? Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of option s, – sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.WRITING 1 你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。
