AI was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all, and what is more, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly.I stopped to ask afriendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside.The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.21.The writer believed that if you wanted to get to know a strange city, ______.A．you should go everywhere on foot B．you should have a mapC．you should ask people the way D．you should get lost22.The newspaper-seller ______.A．could understand what he said B．didn't know what he saidC．laughed at him D．didn't want to take the money23.The writer's real trouble was that _______.A．he couldn't speak the language B．he followed the policeman's directionC．he took the wrong bus D．he left the town-centre24.The policeman ______.A．didn't help him B．pointed at himC．didn't understand what he really meant D．didn't know the wayBPerhaps you have been told about some habits（习惯）which stop a person reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions:1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently？2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?4. Do you read one word at a time?If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointingwhile reading.If you move your head, place your chin（下巴）in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地，静止地).If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.25. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading__________ .A. to hold a piece of paper between themB. to stop yourself talking to othersC. to tell others to be silentD. to feel whether y our lips move or not26. When you read, ___________ .A. Don’t use your finger to point to wordsB. Don’t hold your books with your handsC. Don’t hold your head stillD. Don’t do any of the things mentioned(提到)above.27. This passage mainly talks about _________ .A. the importance of fast readingB. the bad habits in readingC. the way to read fastD. both A and BCToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes . Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.28. According to the passage , honesty is __________ . .A. as important as moneyB. more important than anything elseC. something countableD. the base of a friendship29. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.B. Always tell your friend the truth.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.30. The best title of this passage is __________ . .A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedB. Honesty Is the Best HabitC. How to Be a FriendD. Three Important Points in Life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。

I went straight to work after graduating from college.Working for customers wholeheartedly rather than grades was a big transition（转变）！I have greatly enjoyed constantly updating my knowledge and skills.After thirty years of working with computers，I have my favorite job，and I can provide support for the company I work in.I was proud of myself for choosing the right major.21．What can be learned from the passage?A．The author's family could afford his schooling.B．The author liked playing computer games in college.C．The author learned more in his work than in college.D．The teacher thought the author had talent for studying computers. 22.．Why didn't the author want to be a teacher?A．The work made him exhausted.B．He found the job boring.C．He wanted an exciting job.D．A teacher got very low pay.23．The author found it was difficult to ______.A．pass on knowledge to those adultsB．provide support for his companyC．pass college examinationsD．decide what major he would chooseB.Having visited museums and churches, visitors will be delighted to try these things which can be done and seen in London. They are well worth visiting.London EyeMake a reservation for London Eye before you leave the United States. The Eye is a huge wheel that takes you up into the sky. It was built to celebrate the millennium(千禧年), and has drawn millions of tourists ever since. Fun for the entire family, the Eye is a great way to see all the spectacular sites, including the RiverThames, Parliament, Leicester Square, and Big Ben.Speaker’s CornerSpeaker’s corner never fails to draw a cro wd. Near Marble Arch in Hyde Park, a group gathers every Sunday to speak their mind. You’ll hear everything from political activities to religious zealous, and all who live between these extremes. Go shopping on Oxford Street afterwards, and walk over to Trafalgar Square to see where people have toured for ages.Kew GardensIf you garden, or appreciate beautiful surroundings, then you will be in heaven wandering the paths of the Royal Botanic Kew Garden, simply known as Kew Gardens. Featuring the world’s la rgest collection of living plants, the collections in the greenhouse and beautiful displays of foliage（树叶）throughout the garden will take your breath away. Walk around on your own, or take a guide and learn about the garden’s secrets.Camden TownCamden Town is well known for its pop culture ways and extensive street markets. Home to many punk performers and artists, Camden Town also hosts amazing markets on the weekends, selling goods of all types including fashion, food, books and even some rather bizarre items.Portobello MarketNestled in the middle of Notting Hill, Portobello Market is one of London’s most popular spots. The market actually has several distinct sections and they are dedicated to antiques, fruits and vegetables, fashion, and secondhand “finds”. Top off a visit to Portobello with a pub lunch, a couple of pints and some lively conversation with the locals.24.Who is the text intended for?A. American travelersB. French visitorsC. The nativesD. Foreign tourists25.One remarkable feature of Kew Garden is that___.A. it is for the royal family onlyB. it helps fight against greenhouse effectC. its scenery is the most beautiful in BritainD. it is home to the largest number of living plants26.If you want to pick up a used bargain, where should you go?A. Oxford StreetB. Portobello MarketC. Camden TownD. Leicester SquareCPhysical fitness refers to good health，and is the result of regular exercise，proper diet and nutrition，and proper rest for physical recovery. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and he or she will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and will not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. The relation between height and weight is called the Body_Mass_Index. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health.Mental health refers to a person's emotional and psychological wellbeing. “A state of emotional and psychological wellbeing in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling) abilities，function in society，and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.”One way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. Feeling capable and efficient，being able to handle normal levels of stress，having good friends and family，and leading an independent life，and being able to “bounce back，” or recovering from hardships，are all signs of mental health.Public Health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community，and does not help in long life or promote your health. This is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society，public and private clubs，communities and individuals.It is about the health of many people，or everybody，rather than one person. Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance (监督) of cases. To prevent being sick，it is good to do healthybehaviors，such as hand washing，vaccination programs and so on. When infectious diseases break out，washing hands may be especially important. 27．What is the best title of the passage?A．Physical，Mental and Public Health B．Something about Health C．Importance of Health D．Three healthy Lives28.

C．Increasing emotional demands and psychological wellbeing.D．Living an independent life and own good friends and family.30．Once Bird Flu takes place，that refers to__________.A．the problem of physical health B．the problem of public healthC．the problem of mental health D．the importance of washing hands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。

AIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me Iwas safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someon e for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is s till the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.21.

When can students enjoy a party in residences?A. 7:00 am, Sunday.B. 7:30 am, Thursday.C. 11:30 pm, Monday.D. 00:30 am, Saturday.CFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That iswhy many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this c an result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”28. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. They can easily tell two different songs apart.B. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.C. Their situation is well understood by musicians.D. They love places where they are likely to hear music.29. According to paragraph3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who __________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system30. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics’ strange behaviours.B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.DI have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania (罗马尼亚) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “James Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, don’t come back. When I write to you in pen, it’s safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed —illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the mannersof a prince.With seven years’ experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He h adn’t seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city o f Romania, his family was waiting outside his sister’s house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the family’s stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses, the brothers loved the radios, and the children loved the candy. We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains. Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor, but nothing was as special as family dinners.Romania didn’t have many dry cleaners. Most homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers, and it was a hot summer. M y husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simpleas it was shocking: the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (衬裙) at dinner table. The men were eating without shirts. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes —at least in my husband’s home, perhaps all across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. All men and women applauded for my action. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying, “She’s part of our family now.”My children were 4 and 5 at the time, but they still have memories of that trip. They know how to say, “Good morning.” and “There are apricots (杏子) on the tr ee.” I can still say, “Do you speak Romanian?”and “I swim in the Black Sea.” But most of all, I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra, enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic (大蒜).31. From Para.1, we learn that ________.A. a trip to Europe would be dangerousB. the mother didn’t want to see her sonC. Romania might be unsafe at that timeD. the mother didn’t like to write in pen32. The writer’s husband became an American citizen through ________.A. experiencesB. applicationC. illegal stayD. marriage33. What made the writer feel special about the family dinner in Romania?A. The way people dressed .B. The way people spoke.C. The fantastic violin music.D. The fancy food flavor.34. The writer was complete ly accepted by her husband’s family when ________.A. she offered gifts to the whole familyB. she spoke her husband’s languageC. she washed all the clothes by handD. she had dinner in bra like other ladies35. The writer shared her story to say ________.A. “East or west, home is the best”B. “W hen in Rome do as the Romans do”C. “M arry a dog and follow the dog forever”D. “T he course of true love never runs smooth”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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

人教版高二上学期期中考试模拟测试英语试题本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分, 共150分，考试时间120分钟。
第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWe’re always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book ReviewsDiscuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some h old up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.21. When writing a review, you ________.A. cannot refer to any previous reviewB. must express your own views and opinionsC. must provide some information about the authorD. needn’t give any examples to support your views22. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?A. Strengths and weaknesses.B. Plot and character.C. Programs and scenes.D. Location and description.23. Where can you probably find the passage?A. In a personal diary.B. In an official report.C. In a tourist guidebook.D. In a popular magazine.BA study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线），draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them theimage again.It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.24. What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is notimportant”?A. Handwriting is not very important to children.B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.25. What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.B. How we write is as important as what we write.C. Children create ideas and remember information.D. A group of students should know what to write.26. Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.C. Type the image directly on a computer.D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.27. According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.A. is forB. is againstC. is responsible forD. doesn’t care aboutCAnimals are a favorite subject of many photographers. Cats, dogs, and other pets top the list, followed by zoo animals. However, because it’s hard to get them to sit still and “perform on command,” some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.One way to get an appealing portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The animal’s longing look toward the food will be captured by the camera, but the treat won’t appear in the picture because it’s out of the camera’s range. When you show the pi cture to your friends afterwards, they’ll be impressed by your pet’s loving expression.If you are using fast film, you can take some good, quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name. You’ll get a different expression fr om your pet using this technique. Depending on your pet’s mood, the picture will capture an interested, curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance, especially if you’ve awakened it from a nap.Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more p atience. After all, you can’t wake up a lion! You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot. When photographing zoo animals, don’t get too close to the cages, and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage. Concentrate on shooting some good pictures, and always respect the animals you are photographing.28. Why do some professional photographers NOT like to take pictures of pets?A. Pets may not follow orders.B. Pets don’t want to be bothered.C. Pets may not like photographers.D. Pets seldom change their expressions.29. What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet?A. To capture a cute look.B. To create a special atmosphere.C. To arouse the appetite of the pet.D. To keep the pet from looking at the camera.30. What is the advantage of calling your pet’s name when taking a shot of it?A. To help your pet look its best.B. To make sure that your pet sits still.C. To keep your pet awake for a while.D. To catch a different expression of yourpet.31. In what way is photographing zoo animals different from photographing pets?A. You need to have fast film.B. You need special equipment.C. You need more time to watch and wait.D. You need to stay close to theanimals.DCompared to high heels(高跟鞋), they don’t lookdangerous, but flip-flop wearers should think twice beforeslipping on a pair. The National Health Service spends £40million a year treating injuries caused by wearing thecasual footwear. More than 200,000 people end up inhospital every year after suffering falls or developinglong-term problems.Mike, a spokesman, warned wearers of the damage done by flip-flops. He said, “They land on the outside and then roll the foot inwards putting all the pressure on the big toe.” This constant rolling puts pressure on the ankle joint, causing it to weaken. The lack of support of the flip-flop also causes pain on the inside of the foot and lower leg. And if you’re not used to wearing them, they can cause blisters (水泡), he added.Doctors say flip-flops cause far more damage as they are worn for longer periods of time. Emma Supple, consultant podiatrist (足科医师), said, “Flip-flops are universally popular. They are easy to put on and easy to wear but women do need to be mindful that wearing on hard flat surfaces can cause considerable foot and leg problems.” She encouraged women to wear suitable shoes to help recover from summertime injuries. 32. What is the text mainly about?A. The benefits of wearing high heels.B. The dangers caused by wearing flip-flops.C. The advantages and disadvantages of wearing flip-flops.D. Some advice on how to avoid injuries caused by wearing high heels.33. Injuries caused by wearing the casual footwear include the following EXCEPT _______.A. Twisted ankles.B. Joint pains.C. Aching toes.D. Broken toes34. What is the Emma Supple’s attitude to wearing flip-flops according to the text?A. Cautious.B. Unclear.C. Regretful.D. Positive.35. What can we infer from the text?A. A number of women like to wear flip-flops regularly in summer.B. Wearing high heels is no more dangerous than wearing flip-flops.C. Flip-flops are only worn by people at the beach in the summertime.D. It’s better to wear flip-flops on hard flat surfaces than on uneven ground.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。

AOn a stormy day last August, Tim heard someone shouting. Looking at the sea carefully, he saw that two kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, had rowed out in a boat to recover a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The boys were terrified and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew that it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls. “I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,”he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to shout to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”“Let’s aim for the pier (码头),”Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you swim?”he cried. “A little bit,”the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.1. When did the story happen?A.On a holiday.B. On a stormy day.C. At a weekend.D. After a football match.2. What does the underlined word “recover” in the second paragraph mean in Chinese?A. 找回B. 修补C. 恢复D. 盖上3. What do you think of Tim?A.Strong.B. Proud.C. Shy.D. Brave.BThe first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public place. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波斯顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻). It sells more than eleven million copies every day.4.

History of newspapersC. History of daily newspapersD. On reading newspapersCGood afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol (酒) in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings (人行横道) and do not take any risk when crossing the road.My next point is about litter (throwing away wasted material in a public place). It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco (烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.Now, are there any questions?8. The main purpose of this speech would be to ____.A. prepare people for international travelB. declare the laws of different kindsC. give advice to travellers to the countryD. inform people of the punishment for breaking laws9.

You'll be living in a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly parents in your home. You'll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science. And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before—youwill be living on the moon or Mars.How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future."I'm looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life," says John Searle, a professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, "because I think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer."Hugh Herr, at MIT's Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives."Machines taking over what humans do is not a good thing," Herr says.That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. "I am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings," says Cerqui. "The main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks."12. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. how science will develop in the next two centuriesB. how people will live in a modern societyC. what life would be like in the futureD. what computers will bring to our society13.

AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business (宠物护养业务) earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and“click”sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t knowwhat had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,“Am I going to die?” He replied,“Finally.”21.What did the author often do during her work?A.Cleaning the customers’ house.B.Sending a photo of pets to the owners.C.Bringing the pets to her own house.D. Walking the pets outside.22.The doctor’s answer gave us a sense of ___________.A. carelessnessB. angerC. humorD.patience23.It can be inferred from the text that the author was attacked because__________.A. the author treated Hercules badlyB.Hercules feared the sound and the flashC.the author attacked Hercules firstD.Hercules was very hungry thenBMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountain eering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this.There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linkedby a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.24. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf.B. Skiing and skating.C. Cycling and hockey.D. Mountaineering.25. The underlined word “passion”in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.A.strong emotionB. better feelingC. good wayD. enough affection26. We know from the passage that _______.A. mountaineering has no appeal for peopleB. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps27. What is the best title for the passage?A. MountaineeringB. Sports in winterC. Team work in climbingD.

In which column of a newspaper can we find this article?A. CultureB. EntertainmentC. PeopleD. SportsDCould cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods (洪水) and provide food for the world?Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says:“We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”32. What can we learn about the Netherlands?A. It has found many fossil fuels recently.B. Two thirds of its land is covered by water.C.There are floating homes in one of its cities.D. Its population is increasing quickly.33. Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?A. Satisfying more people’s housing needs.B. Providing more jobs for people.C. Supplying enough water to people.D. Making travel in space possible.34. What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?A. He doubts them.B. He has no idea about them.C. He is uncertain about them.D. He is hopeful of them.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Will there be enough water?B. Will sea cities save the world?C. Is it possible to live in the desert?D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?第二小节，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。

AThis was Larry’s another underwater expeditions(探险). However, this time, it was quite different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he wa s his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Lorry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.21. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His daughter would dive with him.D. His father would dive with him.22. What can be inferred from Paragraph2?A. Larry was lucky to have got such a chance to dive.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.D. Divers had to buy diving equipment.23. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To take photos more conveniently.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To protect himself from danger.24. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.B. Larry enjoyed the adventure.C. Larry had a poor memory.D. Larry was not good at math.25. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Make a good diving guide.B. Have longer hours of training.C. Take a lot of photo underwater.D. Become a successful diver.BTeachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says rese arch suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR--- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print--- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.26. What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?A. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.B.Teachers prefer to talk about the organization of the print.C. Parents focus on bringing children up to be good readers.D. More attention is paid to the pictures, with words and letters being ignored.27. What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?A. Use different methods according to the students’difference in reading skills.B. Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.C. Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.D. Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.28. What put more than three hundred children at risk for reading problems?A. They were poor and lacked language skills.B. They were four and five.C. They were forced to leave school.D. They were observed.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?A.Project STAR aims to find the results of reading to pre-school children in the classrooms.B. Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.C. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.D. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.30.Adults can talk to children about print in the following ways except________.A. Discussing the meaning of the print.B. Showing them all kinds of pictures.C. Talking about the organization of the print.D. Tracing the shape of a letter with a finger.CIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spr ead over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walkedlight-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.31. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to________.A. make a comparisonB. describe a sceneC. introduce a topicD. offer an argument32. In the write r’s opinion, his neighbor was________.A. not helpfulB. not considerateC. friendlyD. warm-hearted33. From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________.A. was reminded of the cruel pharaohB. was mad at the sales agentC. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night34. Which of the following is true?A. The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.B. From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.C. If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.D. When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.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。
