Built in2011 ina small village of Huairou on the outskirts(郊区(jiāoqū)) of Beijing,this beautiful nature inspired library was designed by Li Xiaodong.The 170 square meter building’s interior is spatially diverse by using steps and small level changes to create distinct places.The wooden sticks temper the bright light and spread it evenly throughout the space to give a perfect reading environment.The library closes at dusk because there is no electricity in it.
The story took place at a lunch counter〔柜台〕, where I dreamed of ordering abanana split〔香蕉甜点〕. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said, “Pop(使爆裂) a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split！〞 As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse,I didn’t dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work. So I kept my wish to myself.

B
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction fromseeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of picturesand notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.25. What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A.A dull night on the journey.B.The beauty of the great valley.C.A striking quotation from a book.D.Her concerns for future generations.26. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A.observing her school routineB.expressing her satisfactionC.impressing her classmatesD.preserving her history27.What does the author put in her diary now?A. Special thoughts and feelings.B. Notes and beautiful pictures.C.Detailed accounts of daily activities.D.Descriptions of unforgettable events.28.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.A. to live the present in the futureB. to experience itC.to make memoriesD.to give accurate representations of it

领兑市安插阳光实验学校一中高三第二次月考英语试卷时间：100分钟满分：120ｘ1.25＝150分第一听力第二阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）AWhen Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.21．When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.A．proud and happy B．supportive but concernedC．fearful and nervous D．excited but puzzled 22．The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probablymeans “______”.A．having great helpB．using high technologyC．ending up in failureD．starting from the beginning23．What would be the best title for the text?A．Volunteering helps students grow and develop.B．School trips make parents worried about their children.C．Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.D．Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.BIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.24. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food.D. To sell them at discount prices.25. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customersto buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.26. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.D. A good first impression increases sales.27. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.CDo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life?If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!Position: Volunteer Social Care Assistant(No Pay with Free Meals)Place: ManchesterHours: Part TimeWe are now looking for volunteers to support people with learning disabilities to live active lives!

Asking about a homework assignment in class or complaining about your painful legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident.“Small talk is where all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let’s have a look.①Getting startedBegin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in(“It’s cold in here, isn’t it?”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.②The personal introductionYou should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.③Looking for topicsAt this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things you’ve said or heard earlier. Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.④Expanding the topicThe goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.⑤A polite endingWhen ending a conversation, let the person know you’ll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here’s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”32. According to the article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to ______.A. find common groundB. impress the other personC. make a conversationD. make the room warmer33. Which tip is about dealing with silent moments?A. Tip①.B. Tip③.C. Tip④.D. Tip⑤.34. When ending a conversation, you’d better ______.A. talk about how much you want to keep talkingB. show that you’ve not enjoyed the talkC. mention a specific movie that you loveD. give your opinion about the other person’s earlier comments35. The main purpose of the article is to ______.A. encourage students to make more friendsB. give students tips on making small talkC. introduce popular topics for studentsD. teach students how to create their friendships第二节七选五（共５小题；每小题２分，满分10分）36 Half a minute? A few seconds?Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds—as short as the blink of an eye—is too long for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. 37 you can get digital "traffic jams". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. 38 Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of theInternet.In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular,39 people called it the "World Wide Wait". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. 40 But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of internet users. A. Internet is becoming faster and faster.B. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations,C. We can not expect a faster speed about the internet.D. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft's Bing usually find search results in less than a second.E. How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience?F. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.G. it was very crowded and slow; 第二 (共两节 满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—60各题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和D ）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2 } 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◇Continental Breakfast◇Breakfast and Dinner◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.21. The passage is probably written for_.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. English learners applying to live in English homesD. travelers planning to visit families in London22. According to the passage, what does continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Bread and fruit juice.C. Fruit and vegetables.D. Cereal and cold meat.23. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.BMillions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests"，as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions P'. Here, they learn about the company's history,how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.After passing "Traditions I"，the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party."Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车)，and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, "How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his great success. I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis successfully. It is what Disney does best."24. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees_______.A. begin by receiving on-the-job training B .must learn several jobsC .begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University25.Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to______.A. set a good example for employeesB .remind themselves of their beginnings at DisneyC .gain a better view of the company's objectivesD .replace employees on holiday26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.B .Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.C .Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.D·Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.27 .This passage is mainly about_______.A. how Disney employees are trainedB .the history and traditions of the Disney enterprisesC .why Disney enterprises make a lot of moneyD .the importance Disney places on serving people wellCFred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out a new field or gain expemence.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries--- no longer just service, office and sale jobs."Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes a frequent change in moonlighting."As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures.Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance."The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,"' says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you're burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job."It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."28. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that_______.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time jobB .he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC .he feared he would lose his present job one dayD. he felt more and more pressure from his employer29 .Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraidA. their workers can not do extra-hour work for themB .their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC .their workers will one day turn to some other different jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time30. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraphmeansA. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don't enjoyB .moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC .moonlighting strengthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different31 .What is the article mainly about?A. The ways of moonlighting. B .The reasons for moonlighting.C .The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight.DOceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book ---The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At theearly attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.32.
