" 27 it----go！"The man pushed me 28 the train. I bought a round -trip ticket, and he refused the change I 29 to give him back.

I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable and looked at the collection of unattractive objects: a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens and yellow envelopes. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust (一层尘土)through which I was looking; but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed. 36. The story takes place in the ______. A. late summer B. early spring C. late autumn D. mid-summer 37. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's? A. He wanted to buy some envelopes. B. He was going to Cleveland. C. He was on his way to work. D. He was on his way to school 38. Why does the author mention his niece? A. She likes dolls. B. She lives near Sheftel's. C. The doll looks like her. D. He was looking for a gift for her 39. What made an impression on the author? A. The doll's unusual face. B. A stranger he met at the store. C. The collection of toys. D. The beauty and size of the doll.

人教版高二上学期期中考试模拟测试英语试题第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，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
AIt’s happened to everyone. You run up to someone, thinking it’s your friend, only to realize that the person is a stranger.But there’s something about the curve of their nose or the shape of their eyes that looks strangely familiar. It’s as if your friend had a twin.The Germans invented a word for this phenomenon, “doppelganger”. Literally, it means “double walker”, and it’s come to mean anyone who looks very similar to another person.Doppelgangers pop up in literature and movies, and even in celebrity culture. There are countless Web pages about how celebrities such as US actress Zooey Deschanel and singer Katy Perry look alike.But can you really find a person who looks the same as you? That’s an ongoing debate in the scientific community.After all, humans have a limited number of genes that control how our faces and bodies look. “There is only so much genetic diversity to go around,” the US’ Cornell University professor Michael Sheehan told Live Science. He compared genes to cards in a deck. If the deck gets shuffledenough times, some cards will appear again and again.But forensic scientist Daniele Podini from George Washington University, US is not convinced true doppelgangers exist. Nothing is impossible, Podini admits, but he told the website ScienceLine that most doppelgangers are the result of perception, the way each individual sees the world.We all see faces differently. You might see two people as doppelgangers, but forsomeone else, small differences between the two faces might be much more obvious. Each of us has a different ability to remember faces and their details.There’s even a small group of people who cannot tell between faces at all. They suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness”. They cannot even recognize the faces of their own pare nts or friends.For the people who are very sensitive to differences between faces, the differences can seem never-ending. A single study found 4,000 pieces of DNA that shape our faces, and more have yet to be discovered.Your lifestyle choices can also change your looks. Those choices can be as simple as a haircut, or as serious as bad eating habits. Even identical twins can start to look different, depending on how they live their lives.In other words, your doppelganger may be somewhere in the world, but it’s far more likely that your genes and your decisions have made you one of a kind.21. Which of the following statements would Michael Sheehan agree with?A. People’s perception is similar to each other.B. Genetic diversity is limited, resulting in similar faces.C. Genes are like cards in the way that you never know what you will get.D. It is not possible that there is another person who looks similar to us.22. What does the underlined sentence imply?A. Identical twins are likely to lead different life styles.B. The lifestyle we choose has little to do with our looks.C. Identical twins may not look alike due to different genes.D. Our appearance is in some way related to the way we live.23. The passage is likely to appear in _______ .A. a finance reportB. a newspaper advertisementC. a biological experimentD. a science magazineBJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional (常规的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in themore highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Jobsharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobsby reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom werebetween 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual workquite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partnerbefore applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interestingones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treateach other as equals.24. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.B. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.C. Work sharing requires more working hours.D. Work sharing depends on the employer's decision.25. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-timework mainly because _____.A. they had to take care of both work and familyB. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsC. they were over ideal working agesD. they sought higher social status26. In job sharing the partners should _____.A. enjoy equal social statusB. know each other very wellC. keep in touch with each otherD. have similar work experience27. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A.recommend job sharing to womenB. discuss how to provide more jobsC. describe job sharing in generalD. compare job sharing with work sharingCYou're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:"I can't believe it-----a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the productseems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation---- consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. "Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing." However, one might ask what exactly is "real" of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.28. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _____.A. get the sweater at a lower priceB. decide on buying the sweaterC. be admired by other shoppersD. be heard by people around29. Lorenzo Bertolla is _____.A. a very popular male singerB. an advertising agencyC. the brand name of a sweaterD. a clothing company in Rome30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Traditional advertising will soon disappear in the market.B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.C. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.D. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Two Attractive ShoppersB. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Undercover MarketingD. Ways of AdvertisingDWe've all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal (腹部的) muscles. It's easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products ---- no matter who approved them or how expensive they are ---- shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury ---- like the $518.99 Body Shaper---- Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by theAmerican Council on Exercise.The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominalmuscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of aninch of fat. That's enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the funand easy way without diets." Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuringthe electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report publishedin May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements ---- so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor ---- and exercises performed on the "Captain's Chair", a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.32. Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?A．Torso Track. B．Captain's Chair. C．Ab-Doer. D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.33. According to the author, it's difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominalmuscles mainly because __________.A．how big their muscles will be is determined by birthB．they change their exercise routine regularlyC．injuries interrupt their exercise frequentlyD．they do not put in enough efforts34. The author convinces the readers by ________.A．describing successful casesB．presenting findings of researchesC．offering comments directly from exercisersD．comparing advertisements of products35. What's the main purpose of this passage?A．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.B．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.C．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.D．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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.

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.

AAs a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal（肠的）disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In time Al became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed -- his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al's death, I thought, “What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure!”As time went by, I began to reevaluate my earlier rough judgment. I knew Al’s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most lovingmen I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “A s a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, “love you, son.”Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.21. Why did Al turn to alcohol for help?A. He felt guilty for his older son’s death.B. His wife left him a short time later.C. He couldn’t stand what he suffered.D. He lost everything he possessed.22. What can we learn from the passage?A. Al’s older son died of a deadly disease.B. Al became an alcoholic, thus ignoring his son.C. Ernie’s performance left a deep impression on the author.D. Ernie hated his father because of his brother’s death.23. Ernie became so special a person mainly because________.A. his father left him no possessionsB. his father showed love to himC. his father is an alcoholicD. his father divorced his mother24. What does the author think of Al?A. He was a total failure.B. He was a skilled artist.C. He was a born alcoholic.D. He was a kind loving father.BDo you want to get more sleep? Do you wish you had extra time in your day? Interested in generally enjoying the world around you? Then turn off your smartphone for a day. That’s what I did this week, and let me tell you, giving up your security blanket - I mean iPhone - is free.At 7:15 a.m. my alarm went off. Usually this would be my signal to grab my phone and start my morning Internet routine: Check work email. Reply to urgent work emails. Check personal email. Reply to urgent personal emails. Read morning news digests (摘要) sent to my inbox. Check Facebook. Check email one more time. Force myself to get out of bed. Sound familiar?Instead, it went something like this: Get out of bed. Take a shower. Get dressed. Make coffee. Open laptop. Read email, social media, and news while leisurely enjoying my coffee. Head to the office. Get there 20 minutes earlier, since I got out of bed 20 minutes earlier. Thanks to giving up my phone, my morning way felt longer and more relaxed.But let's get back to that journey to work. My phone usually plays a big part in it. I call my mom on my 15-minute walk to the subway or listen to the phone player or music. This day I was faced with a single walk, free of distractions (分心). And I liked it! I let my mind wander. I noticed the architectural details on the homes I passed. I discovered that on a clear day, you can see the very tip of the Golden Gate Bridge peaking out above the homes on my hilly street. My basic reaction: quick, where's my phone so I can take a picture for instagram? But instead, I had to enjoy it all by myself. The walk through my San Francisco neighborhood felt like my little secret.Once on the subway train, the five-stop journey seemed surprisingly faster, since I wasn't frustrated with a phone player.The workday was pretty uneventful without a phone. I'm stuck to my computer anyway and hurried over to the restaurant across the street for alate lunch. It didn't give me much time to wait for my food without anything to distract me. Getting through the day without phone wasn't as hard as I expected.25. According to the passage the author thought that __________ .A. switching off your phone might help you sleep moreB. it was quicker for people to get up without phonesC. people were often addicted to phones so that they didn’t workD. the five-stop journey must be faster with the phones off26. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means________. .A. the workday was peaceful without a phoneB. you can’t work without a phoneC. you can work effectively without a phoneD. the workday can’t be finished on time27. The fourth paragraph is used to show_________.A. you can enjoy the benefit of the phoneB.you can’t take a picture without a phoneC. you can have all kinds of views by using phone all the wayD. you can get another new experience without a phone28. What’s the author’s suggestion for the readers?A. Keep off the computer and the phone.B. Try switching off the phone for a day.C. Listen to the music with your phone when you read news.D. Force yourselves to turn off the phone when you sleep.CWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by CornellUniversity suggests how lifestyle and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as highquality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, dec ided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity —or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.29．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.30．The text is mainly developed _________ .A．by contrast B．by space C．by process D．by classification31．Where does this text probably come from?A．A TV interview. B．A food advertisement.C．A health report. D．A book review.DA worldfamous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first longdistance signing device (装置), the LongPen.After many tiring booksigning tours from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet (手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams (网络摄像机) and computer screens.Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement (地下室). At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The inventing finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to signcontracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“It’s really fun，” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing.”The re sponse to the invention hasn’t been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it.”32．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?A．To set up her own company. B．To win herself greater popularity. C．To write her books in a new way. D．To make book signings less tiring. 33．How does the LongPen work?A．It copies the author’s signature and prints it on a book.B．The fan uses it to copy the author’s signature himself.C．It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature.D．The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city.34．How could the LongPen be used in the future?A．To draft legal documents.B．To improve credit card securityC．To keep a record of the author’s ideas.D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos.35．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?A．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.B．Atwood doesn’t mean to end book tours.C．Bookstore owners don’t support the LongPen.D．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.第二节七选五（共5 个小题，每小题2分，满分 10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

An official report.D. An announcement.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot“greener”towards the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grassroots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many, many times,”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking”has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. Until we do that, nothing else will change!”says Bruce Anderson.24. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________.A. the importance of Earth DayB. environmental problemsC. recycling techniquesD. the social movement25. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. Government officials.B. The business circle.C. The grassroots level.D. University professors.26. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have settled their environmental problems.27.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.Green living.B. Planning.C. Education.D. CO reduction.CIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a brilliantly（精彩地）written book. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day's“Report on Guilty Secrets, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984. I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).28. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By discussing the book it self.C. By mentioning a famous name.D. By looking into his background.29. Which of the following is a“guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.30. By lying about reading, a person hopes to ______.A. control the conversationB. make more friendsC. learn about the bookD. appear knowledgeable31. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. DoubtfulB. UncaringC. FavorableD. FriendlyDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 —7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations —UNESCO and National Geographic among them —have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes —which had remainedunstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded —the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project —Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.A. promote global languagesB. search for language communitiesC. rescue disappearing languagesD. set up language research organizations.33. What does“that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Writing books on language teaching.B. Having full records of the languages.C. Telling stories about language users.D. Living with the native speaker.34. What is Turin's book based on?A. The cultural studies in India.B. The documents available at Yale.C. His personal experience in Nepal.D. His language research in Bhutan.35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repair and reward.C. Design, experiment and report.D. Collect, protect and reconnect.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。

AI sometimes feel left out with my friends at the party.What can I do?—Susan Alice: Speak to your best friend before you arrive and ask her to make sure you don’t get left out of the group. That way, she’ll know to include you in all the fun. Make the effort to speak to some other people at the party. You might even make a new friend or two.Sometimes I think parties get boring and I want to go home!—Jenny Alice: Even a great party will drag if you’re not enjoying yourself. Making the effort todance and have a chat wit h your friends will beat the boredom! You don’t have to stay to the very end of the party.Our school is having a Christmas dance party but I’m really shy. Shall I go or not?—Emma Alice: Part of you would like to go to the party, so give it a try. Let good friends know how you feel and make sure you’ll have people to dance with when the evening comes.

I always have to leave earlier than the rest of my friends and I get really angry with my dad.—Anny Alice: Talk with your dad and let him know how you feel.

In a famous novel.D. In a popular magazine.BCold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything t o drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.24. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They build their own shelter.C. They like to stay in warm places.D. They are used to living outdoors.25. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelter.D. To keep them company.26. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ________.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild27. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give some practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.CWe often think that plane crashes are catastrophic (灾难的). But thankfully, that isn't the case. The National Transportation Safety Board found that the survival rate of crashes was 95. 7%. Sure, there are some accidents where everyone, or nearly everyone, died, but those are much rarer than you'd guess based on what you see in the news. We're going to offer some advice on what you can do to make it out of a plane crash alive.You've only got 90 seconds to get outIf you’ve survived the crash landing, you only have 90 seconds to do so.You see, the thing that kills most passengers in a plane crash isn't the actual impact(撞击). It's the fire that typically consumes the plane afterwards. Surveys show that most people think they actually have about 30 minutes to get out of a burning plane. The reality is that it takes, onaverage, just 90 seconds for a devastating (毁灭性的) fire to burn through the plane and consume everything and everyone in it.Don't sleepDon't drink before getting on a plane. You have to be fully present in the event of a crash. You don't need to be paranoid(多疑) during this time, just vigilantly(警惕地) relaxed.Remember the Plus 3/Minus 8 ruleIn the air world, Plus 3/Minus 8 refers to the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. According to fight crash investigators, close 80% of all plane crashes occur during this timeframe, and great importance should be attached to it. In between those times, the chances of a plane crash occurring drop dramatically.Forget your carryon luggage, remember the kidsAfter the plane has crash landed and you're still alive, you only have 90 seconds to get to those exits as fast as you can. You need to be reminded to forget your carryon luggage! It will slow you down and block others' escape, and it may injure you or someone else. Your brain does stupid things in disasters. If your kids are in the plane, keep reminding yourself, "I have kids.”28.
