AA mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learnt first aid skills. Sonya had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly.Sonya, who also has a son Emmen, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children’s Centre. Then she was faced with every parent’s worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s life.Sonya said: “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learnt the day before. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when there’s any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practicingfirst aid. I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”1. What happened to Tilly?A. She fell on the floor and hit her head.B. She was knocked down by her brother.C. She was hit by a toy on the head and felt upset.D. She was hit by her brother and stopped breathing.2.When Sonya found Tilly’s shaking, she thought her daughter must ______.A. be cryingB. be very angryC. pretend to be hurtD. recognize her failure3. When Sonya goes to the first aid class next time, she will feel ______.A. enjoyableB. excitedC. gratefulD. confidentBThere have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today - the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.In the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world. People began to work to make life better.In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light bulbs. There were more great inventions in the early 20th century, such as the helicopters in 1907, movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon （尼龙）came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China, have made their steps into space.In 1969, man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.4. This passage mainly talks about ________.A. why cars were very importantB. when the light bulb was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. the process of inventions5. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _______.A. the helicopterB. the cameraC. jet planesD. movies6. _______ made the first step into space.A. RussiaB. ChinaC. AmericaD. Japan7. Which of the followings is NOT true?A. An American first stepped on the moon.B. The wheel was the first great invention, but it is not very important today.C. In the early 1800s there was little unknown land.D. New inventions will change our lives greatly in the future.CLiving in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes”and “no”.On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes”or “no”.8. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications9.People in Micronesia show “yes”by ______.A. nodding headsB. raising eyebrowsC. shaking headsD. saying “no”10.Tom misunderstood his class at first because______.A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. he didn’t explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn’t understand his questionsD. he didn’t know where the students came from11.The passage is mainly about______.A. body language in foreign restaurantsB. class discussion in Indian schoolsC. miscommunication in different culturesD. English teaching in other countriesDMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering（登山）.Those who have a passion（热情）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 on high mountains? This astonishment is causedprobably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their spare time.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it 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 and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by 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 skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with mere skills and less waste of effort, and they can certainly experience equal enjoyment.12. Mountaineering involves____.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above13. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _____.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants14. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_____.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. How to Climb High MountainsB. Mountain ClimbersC. Challenging Sports ActivitiesD.

Shea was born with a partial right hand, which restricts her ability to do things that other kids take for granted.“My mom went online”, says Shea, who lives in Muknowango, Wisconsin. Shea’s mother, Ranee, soon learned about a com munity of artists, designers, and scientists who are making big breakthrough with artificial hands.Frankie Flood, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Mi lwaukee, was among the designers who saw Ranee’s online r equest. Flood obtained help from fellow professor Adeam Blai r and their students, who were learning how to make designs using a 3-D printer. “We made a mold(模子) of Shea’s hand out of plaster(石膏), and then we 3-D scanned her hand,” Flood says.While being fitted in Flood’s laboratory, Shea got to choose th e color of her new hand. She went with bright pink. She now h as a pink hand, a purple hand, and a purple and pink one, an d can do things that she couldn’t do before, like peeling potato es, picking up objects, and catching a ball.Flood and his team have since built hands for six other local c hildren. Indirectly, they have helped dozens more by posting t heir designs online so that people around the world can print t hem out. Flood is also working on artificial legs for military sol diers who were injured on the battlefield. “Without a covering, the artificial leg is kind of ugly and plain,” Flood says. “Soldier s want something that will restore the shape of their legs and make them look cooler when they’re playing sports.”As for Shea, the aspiring musician can now play her violin wit h the help from an adaptive device that Flood’s team created. “Nothing is ever going to hold her back,”Shea’s father, Steve, told a local reporter.24.What do we know about Shea from Paragraph 1?A. Her left hand is weakB. She is eager for many giftsC. She was born with a disabilityD. She comes from a poor family25.What can Shea do with the help of her new hand?A. She can do simple things easilyB. She can play different kinds of sportsC. She can build hands for other childrenD. She can make designs using a 3-D printer26.What can we infer from the passage?A. Flood made Shea’s new hand aloneB. Shea has hands of different colours nowC. Soldiers like artificial legs though they are uglyD. Ranee made big breakthroughts with artificial hands27.What do Steve’s words suggest in the last paragraph?A. Shea is a determined girlB. Shea has an advanced deviceC. Shea is a famous musician nowD. Shea gets much help from her familyCThere are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all t he positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would b e more likely to enjoy them.Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an or derly learning environment. Having students dressed in unifor ms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the opportunity to learnhow to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can f ocus their attention on academics rather than style. Purchasing(购买) school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation and con sideration. No matter what the school’s policy is, there are onl y specific essential(基本的) pieces to the wardrobe(服装) that are necessary, so it won’t break the bank. A few ward robe items can last a long time. Parents could also enjoy an e asy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothe s for the school day.Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what t o wear or not to wear when their classmates are dressed simil arly. Getting dressed before school becomes less of a chore(琐事) when students are limited in their choices, so there should n’t be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and gett ing ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of indiv iduality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may o ffer them the opportunities to show their unique styles. Uniforms today are also becoming trendier and can be seen i n many areas of pop culture. Celebrities(名人)and fashion designers are using uniforms as inspiration fornew looks which also appeal to students.28.What would be the best title for the text?A. How to dress properlyB. The history of school uniformsC. The advantages of school uniformsD. How to deal with pressure in school29.Teachers think that wearing school uniforms .A. is just a tradition that students should followB. makes students feel less pressure in studyC. helps students put more effort into their studiesD. makes students lose their independence and identity30.The underlined part “it won’t break the bank” in Paragraph3 probably means “”.A. a school uniform doesn’t cost a lot of moneyB. a school uniform should be worn every dayC. parents will have to go to the bank many timesD. parents who work in a bank can afford the uniform31.We can infer from the text that school uniforms .A. are not popular with fashion designersB. were not accepted by parents in the pastC. will be designed by students themselvesD. will be more fashionable in the futureD“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor u pon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at l east known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken o ver much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and i s well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren't for the ple asure they give, it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomat o plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with ful l sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I plac ed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared un der the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I ha ve to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almo st have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I foun d two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for la ck of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wo nderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between te n and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I'll think about that tomorrow.32.What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?A. A lot of care and the right soilB. Frequent pruning and fertilizingC. Tomato plants grown alongsideD. Cages placed around the roots33.The writer planted the tomato because .A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil was just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses' branches needed to be covered34.This year the writer's roses were .A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant35.By saying "the prize so dearly won" in paragraph 5, the wri ter wants to .A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes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。

Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls within oneor two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.9.Many plants may survive in deserts when_____________.A. it is dry all the year roundB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. the rain is spread out in a year10.Sand dunes are formed when_____________.A. sand piles up graduallyB. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller11.It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heatDWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused t o take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of hel p to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.12. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.13.Which statement is true about “a girl—the author’s enemy” mentioned in the passage?A. The girl was fond of pointing out my shortcomings.B. The girl thought I was foolish in my life.C. The girl was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. The girl thought my shortcomings grew more and more serious.14. Why did her father listen to her daughter quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.15. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had.C. MyFatherD. My Childhood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人空白处的最佳选项。

(+9111) 42661122BThe Tower of London was first built by William the Conqueror for the purpose of protecting and controlling the city. Today it is one of the most popular tourist attractions and attracts over three million visitors a year.It was occasionally used as a Royal Palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James I but is best known as a prison and an execution(死刑) place. Within the walls of the Tower, princes have been murdered, spies shot, and Queens of England beheaded. One of the most famous executions was that of Anne Boleyn in 1536. She was the second wife of Henry VIII. He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son. She was tried and found guilty. The sword and the executioner were brought over specially from France and with one stroke the executioner cut off her head.The Tower was also the scene of one of London’s most famous mysteries, known as the mystery of the Princes in the Tower. King Edward IV died in 1483. He had two sons, Edward and Richard, and the elder, Edward, became the king on his father’s death. As he was only 12 years old, his uncle (Richard, Duke of Gloucester) became his Protector until the time of his coronation. Young Edward lived in the Tower, and the Duke persuaded Edward’s brother to come and live there as well so that they could play together. But then the Duke announced that he was the new king, and he, not Edward, was crowned(加冕), calling himself Richard III.After that, the boys were seen less and eventually disappeared. It is believed that Richard III ordered their deaths, although it has never been proved. Today, the Tower where the boys were imprisoned(囚禁) in the Bloody Tower.4．The Tower of London was first intended________.A. to attract touristsB. for the conqueror to protect and control the city of LondonC. for William the Conqueror to protect the people from invasion(侵略)D. to defend the country from invasion5．The Tower of London became_________.A. a place for the rulers after James I came to powerB. a place for execution of common people at the time of James IC. a place of attraction for tourists right after it was builtD. a place to imprison and execute people after James I was crowned6．Anne Boleyn _______.A. was executed because she had committed a crimeB. was beheaded because she had lost the king’s favourC. was imprisoned in the Tower of London for lifeD. was sentenced to death after she had given birth to a child7．After the death of King Edward IV_______.A. Duke of Gloucester came to power according to the lawB. his brother became the Protector until Edward was crownedC. Duke of Gloucester took over the crown by cheating his nephewsD. his son was beheaded in publicCA girl was having problems with her old boyfriend. Even though she didn’t want to see him any more, he seemed to turn up everywhere she went. By “coincidence” he went to the same movies, the same restaurants and the same shops. When she went on a date with a new guy and the old boyfriend just happened to appear, she became suspicious(怀疑的). Police found a global positioning system(GPS) device(设备) in her car that the old boyfriend was using to follow her.New communication technologies always have a combination of benefits and problems. GPS allows hikers and people in boats and cars to avoid getting lost; GPS can also help police track stolen cars. Because GPS systems are built into cell phones, police and others who help in an emergency(紧急情况) can more easily locate someone who calls for help.A new form of identification is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID uses tiny microchips(芯片), the size of a grain of sand. They are used like bar codes on products, but nothing has to be scanned in; walking past a detector(检测器) is enough. RFIDs are now being sewn into clothing. This is fine when you are paying, but when you wear your clothes and walk back into the store, the store will know exactly what you bought when you bought it and how much you paid for it. Moreover, based on what you are wearing, the store advertisements may change just for you as you walk by. Is this the end of privacy?These concerns also expand to new video telephones. Lots of kids will use them to see their friends as they talk, but parents may like them for another reason. Kids who claim to be studying with a friend may answer the phone and find themselves caught at a movie or shopping mall.8．RFID may soon __________.A. track all your movements in storesB. help you buy new clothesC. replace GPS totallyD. create new kinds of advertisements9．One concern about the new technology is________.A. the priceB. detectorsC. privacyD. the shape10．The main purpose of the passage is to tell people _______.A. we will soon see RFIDS on video telephonesB. the advantage of GPS is tracking stolen carsC. new communication technologies are bad for peopleD. technology has strengths and weaknesses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。

GaryBThe last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello，” said Bunny. “Is somebody there？”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny-looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have m istaken it for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)？” asked Bunny.“Yes，” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Father Christmas’ sled？”“I was until I got airsick，” replied Ralph, “I’m afraid I wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend，” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!4．Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A．He had a lot of things to do. B．He was disturbed by a big noise. C．He was thinking of what gift he would get. D．He wanted to have a look at the reindeer.5．As soon as Bunny came downstairs, he ________.A．was probably very sad B．found what he wantedC．ran into a reindeer D．heard a loud cry6．The underlined part “cut out for” in the text probably means “________”．A．fit for B．afraid of C．proud of D．interested in7．What would be the best title for the text?A．A strange Christmas tree B．A special Christmas giftC．A quiet but smart boy D．A lovely reindeerCEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world —Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey —rats will soon be man’s best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why？Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big a nd they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal．This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christia n Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need e lectricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course)．8．In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can ________.A．replace man’s rescue jobsB．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD．get into small spaces9．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by ________.A．the noise made by the rat B．the rat’s unusual behavior C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back D．the smell given off by the person10．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ________.A. they are more fantastic than other animalsB. they are less expensive to train than dogsC．they don’t need electricity D. they are small and can get into small places11．After reading the passage we know ________.A．at present rats have replaced dogs in searching for peopleB．the “rat project” has been com pletedC．people are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescuesDSeverely disabled people may soon be able to use their noses to write, drive a wheelchair or surf the Internet, thanks to a device developed by doctors in Israel.The device will be used by breathing in and out through the nose, according to a study. Healthy people who tested the device quickly learned to play computer games and write sentences by sniffing. Encouraged by the results, the researchers decided to test their device on people who are paralyzed (瘫痪) but whose intelligence remains normal. Ten paralyzed who tested the device quickly learned to use their noses to write words, open a webpage, copy words and put them into a search engine.With their success in helping severely disabled people to communicate, the researchers decided to make use of the new technology to design an electric wheelchair to be driven by sniffs.Ten healthy people easily mastered sniff—driving a wheelchair through a maze (迷宫), and a 30-year-old man who had been paralyzed from the neck down for six years was as good a sniff-driver as the healthy participants at his second attempt. In other words, a paralyzed person could use the sniff controller to drive an electric wheelchair.At the moment, sniff-controlled technology is still in the stage of development,and the Weizmann Institute has already made a request for a patent(专利) on the device. “I’ll be very happy if it can help us to make money, but the real problem is that I hope someone will develop it, because this would help a lot of people,”said Sobel, one of the lead researchers of the study.12. What’s the purpose of t he passage?A. To introduce a new invention.B. To equip the disabled with life skills.C. To show the nose's special functions.D. To instruct doctors to demanda patent.13. In the test, the paralyzed people with normal intelligence can use their nose to ______.A. type long sentences quicklyB. play computer games easilyC. enter a website without much difficultyD. communicate with others successfully14. With the help of the sniffing device, a 30-year-old disabled man ______.A. spent six years learning how to drive a wheelchairB. failed to drive through the maze at his first attemptC. took the wheelchair controlled by healthy participantsD. managed to drive an electric wheelchair by sniffing15. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the sniff-controlled technology ______.A. will be applied to other fields of researchB. needs further developing to serve more peopleC. has become an important patented inventionD. shows the wisdom and talents of Israel doctors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人空白处的最佳选项。
英语二(00015)2017年10月真题和答案
My Writing TeacherEnglish writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson’s class. Before that, I’d heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous.The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new “tools”and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was different, and that we would not see high scores soon. “Everything you do in class matters,”she said. “As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.”Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn’t follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and how to use the “tools” in my writing. As I still didn’t dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person, I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.1. I was worried when I was in Mrs. Johnson’s first class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Mrs. Johnson used the same grading system as other teachers.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3.

TrueB. FalseC. Not GivenThe KiltWhenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked: “Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts?” The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish” skirts.The “skirt”that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子)sometimes wear is called a kilt.It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.People ’s knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson’s film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programs about Scotland. These programs always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colors.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funerals and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt, he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit (全套服装) costs around £500.11. According to the text, Scotsmen .A. like foreign cultureB. sometimes wear kiltsC. enjoy talking about kiltsD. often visit foreign countries12. Mel Gibson is probably a .A. painterB. musicianC. movie starD. fashion designer13. In Scotland, kilts are more often seen .A. in tourist shopsB. in public schoolsC. on the stageD. at local markets14. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their .A. funny designsB. dull colorsC. poor qualityD. high prices15. This text is mainly about the .A. history of kiltsB. production of kiltsC. myths of kiltsD. styles of kiltsA Fighting Lady①Deborah Sampson was born in 1760. There were many children in her family and they were poor. When Deborah was just a young girl, her father left and went off to sea. Being in poor health, her mother could not care for her children. So she sent them to live with different relatives, hoping these people would take care of her children.②Young Deborah, less than seven years old, had to work for a farmer. On the farm, she learned to ride and hunt. She did housework as well. Life was difficult, but Deborah worked hard and grew strong. The farmer had ten sons, and Deborah helped to take care of them. In the evening, she had the boys talk about their lessons with her. By this she learned what they learned. She also borrowed their schoolbooks to read every night. When she was 18, Deborah became a teacher.③Soon after she started her new career, the American revolution began. She wanted to fight for her country, but women could not be soldiers at that time. Deborah had a plan. She was tall for a woman of that time. She made herself a man’s suit and secretly practiced walking and talking like a man. Finally, she joined the army using the name Robert.④“Robert”was a brave soldier. He fought with courage in every battle, and other soldiers respected him. They never suspected that their fellow soldier was a woman. Once he caught a fever and had to go to the hospital. There a doctor found out that Robert was actually a woman. Deborah then had to leave the army but she was not punished. Some people said she even met General George Washington before she left.⑤Later, Deborah married a farmer and had three children. She taught in school and gave lectures about her time in the army till retirement. Deborah died at the age of 66. She was a true American hero.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19.

But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased. 27. I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure ( 鲜为人知的) major. I realized I couldn’t just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, “I want to major in business”, I could feel “liar” written all over my face.28. I felt ashamed. “Why couldn’t I have said that?” I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people were uncertain. That was why students have to decide until the end of the second year.I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don’t want to do anything that involves blood. 29. T his isn’t really narrowing it down I’ve been told many people start college with one major, and graduate with a degree in something totally different.After my experience at the information session, I’ve learned not to be afraid of saying I’m “undecided.”I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I’m still experiencing a “major” problem. 30.A. Everyone before me had declared a major.B. So I’ve narrowed my list down to anything but medicine.C.

Sometimes it’s just circumstances that bring two individuals together who then become friends.Whatever prompts a friendship, developing one is a very 36. e xperience.

And I learned it in theback of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We w ere driving in the right lane (车道) when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes (车闸), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch (英寸) from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. I couldn’t believe it!And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call: “The L aw of the Garbage Truck (垃圾车).” He said: But then here’s what really blew me away. My t axi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said: “Why d id you just do that? This guy could have killed us!“Many peopl e are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As thei r garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.“So one day when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me.You’ll be happier.”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run ri ght over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spre ad it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said: “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carr ying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I d on’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.28. What happened to the author on his way to Grand Centra l Station?A.

Dump it on someone elseDMore and more people are taking their iPads to bed with th em to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warni ng that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getti ng a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is si milar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Bl ue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called mel atonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, p erhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day ends.Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep--- they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by natu re portable --- not to say addictive --- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also t end to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer o r television screen.Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels a s the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the dev ices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation(刺激，激怒) of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before b ed.”They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(应用人类工程学) that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribu tion(光谱功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of use rs less.It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by t oo much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of o besity and even cancers.32. Why does Blue light prevent iPad users from sleeping well ? .A. Because it can help decrease the production of melatoninB. Because it is the same as daylight which keeps people aw akeC. Because it makes the brain more activeD. Because it is brighter than light that is more orange or red33. What does the underlined phrase “dim the display” mean? .A. turn off the displayB. keep away from the displayC. make the display less brightD. clean the display carefully34. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ________ .A. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too muchB. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleepC. call on researchers to study sleep patternsD. show the danger of obesity and cancers35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleepless ness.B. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health.C. People should limit the use of electronic devicesD. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

B Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee. When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate. I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt angrier. I thought, well, I should have the last piece. And I got it. The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There is something wrong with the woman,” Everybody looked at me. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that I had eaten. There was mine, just under my newspaper. ( ) 6. Last Friday the writer ____.
