（每小题2分，共20分）AThere is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave．Moreover，it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of the visual media cannot be ignored.One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces（诱导）people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and，nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted（扭曲的）one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks．It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible（易受影响的）viewers are children，who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies.With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experiences.1．From the passage we know that watching television and movies can ．A. make people live betterB. make people feel pleasedC. make people change their way of lifeD. make people live worse2．The writer holds the view that ．A. people may take no notice of the effects of the visual mediaB. people must pay attention to the effects of the visual mediaC. the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatlyD. the visual media only affect young people3．What would be the best title for this text?A. The Influence of Television and MoviesB. The Reason Why People Watch Television and MoviesC. Television and Movies Induce PeopleD. The Importance of Television and MoviesBMy color television has given me nothing but a headache．I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid．The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night．Fortunately，I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set．When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．4．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.5．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph l ?A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercials D．showed all-night movies6．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it. B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels. D．By having it repaired.7．How does the author sound when telling the story?A．Curious B．Anxious C．Cautious D. HumorousCWhether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years．Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone s happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t ju st deliver general answers to question; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns．But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees．“We havetechnologies to train social robots to do things not for us，bu t with us,” said Breazeal．8．How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions．B. They are more like humans．C. They do the normal housework．D. They respond to users more slowly．9．What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3 ?A. Communicate with you and perform operations．B . Answer your questions and make requests．C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk．D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills．10. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers第二节：七选五（每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。

）1．25℃、101 kPa 时，1 g 甲醇(CH 3OH)完全燃烧生成CO 2和液态H 2O ，同时放出22.68 kJ 热量。
下列表示该反应的热化学方程式中正确的是( )A ．CH 3OH(l)＋32O 2(g)===CO 2(g)＋2H 2O(l) ΔH ＝－725.8 kJ/mol B ．2CH 3OH(l)＋3O 2(g)===2CO 2(g)＋4H 2O (l) ΔH ＝＋1 451.6 kJ/molC ．2CH 3OH ＋3O 2===2CO 2＋4H 2O(l) ΔH ＝－22.68 kJ/molD ．CH 3OH(l)＋32O 2 (g)===CO 2(g)＋2H 2O(g) ΔH ＝－725.8 kJ/mol 【答案】A【考点定位】考查热化学方程式的有关判断【名师点睛】本题考查了热化学方程式的正误判断。
热化学方程式是表示化学反应与反应热关系的方程式。
书写和应用热化学方程式时必须注意以下几点：①明确写出反应的计量方程式，各物质化学式前的化学计量系数可以是整数，也可以是分数。
②各物质化学式右侧用圆括弧（）表明物质的聚集状态。
可以用g 、l 、s 分别代表气态、液态、固态。
溶液中的反应物质，则须注明其浓度，以aq 代表水溶液，(aq) 代表无限稀释水溶液。
③反应热与反应方程式相互对应。
若反应式的书写形式不同，则相应的化学计量系数不同，故反应热亦不同。
④热化学方程式必须标明反应的浓度、温度和压力等条件，若在常温常压时可省略。
2．已知1 g H 2完全燃烧生成水蒸气时放出的热量121 kJ ，且氧气中1 mol O ＝O 键完全断裂时吸收热量496 kJ ，水蒸气中1 molH －O 键形成时放出热量463 kJ ，则1 molH －H 键断裂时吸收热量为( )A ．920 kJB ．557 kJC ．436 kJD ．188 kJ【答案】C【解析】试题分析：反应热就是断键化学键吸收的能量和形成化学键所放出的能量的差值，设1mol H —H 断裂时吸收热量为x，根据化学反应2H2(g)+O2(g)2O(g)，所以有2x＋496kJ－4×463kJ＝－121kJ×4，解得x＝436kJ，答案选C。

ASatellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A．Sending information for weather forecast．B．Taking photographs of the Earth．C．Sending TV pictures．D．Providing food for airplane pilots．2．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A．35,880 kilometers per hour．B．335,880 kilometers per hour．C．11,000 kilometers per hour．D．110,000 kilometers per hour3．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A．In order to take photographs．B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit．C．In order to move away from its orbit．D．In order to send television pictures．4．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A．A satellite．B．A little rocket．C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．5．Which is true of satellites?A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired．C．A broken satellite is never left in space．D．They often crash into each other．BThe most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Su nday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Somepeople hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.6．Easter comes _______.A. on the same date every yearB. on Sunday on March 22C. on Sunday on April 25D. on a Sunday between March 22 and April 257．To celebrate Easter, people ___________.A. go shopping, hide colored eggs and children hunt for themB. give Easter baskets filled candy and goodies to one anotherC. buy new clothes, hide colored eggs and children look for them around the houseD. both B and C8．For Christians the more important thing to do on Easter is________.A. going to chur ch to celebrate Jesus’ resurrectionB. buying new clothesC. eating delicious food and paint color eggsD. exchange beautiful gifts each other9．People from different cultures have different ideas about Easter egg _________.A.

A. At the age of 16, Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she beganto cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped working to protect the environment.21. Julia Butterfly Hill traveled to California _____.A. to find a new jobB. to build a tree houseC. with the hope of joining Earth FirstD. in expectation of doing something meaningful22. The redwood trees were cut down mainly _____.A. because they might fall over at any timeB. because they had great economic valueC. to protect other trees in the forestD. to make space for constructions23. Julia Butterfly Hill’s living conditions in the tree were _____.A. comfortableB. coolC.tough D. satisfying24. What can we learn about Julia Butterfly Hill from the text?A. She has a sense of social responsibil ity.B. She failed to protect the redwood tree.C. She built a new house in the forest.D. She is a self-centered womanBClara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school wh en most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learnedhow to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night —her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.5.

Some, however, are a little sillier than others —so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.Sleep PhonesIt’s hard to imagine something sillier than a m usic-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist —and are quite popular. Sleep Phones won’t give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, they’re far more comfortable than normal headphones. While they’re a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. There’s also a wire less version (版本) if you prefer.Onion GogglesIf cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, it’s time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and awesome goggles.Lock LacesThere’re some great ways to tie your shoes better, but if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. They’re basically elastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you can make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing.2D-GlassesHate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D. Now you have a pair of glasses that can save you from the headachecaused by wearing 3D-glasses which are popular in our movie theaters. You can buy them or make a pair for yourself.9. What do we know about Sleep Phones?A. There are two versions.B. They’re comfortable but unhealthy.C. They give you the best quality sound.D. They’re ch eaper than other headphones.10. The underlined part “brings on the waterworks” in the text probably means _____.A. makes your eyes waterB. makes your fingers hurtC. destroys your water pipesD. adds to your washing work11. What is the advantage of Lock Laces?A. They are strong and lasting.B. They help you walk comfortably.C. They are stylish and eco-friendly.D. They save you from tyi ng your shoes.12. Compared with 3D-glasses, 2D-glasses _____.A. are cheaper and thinnerB. won’t give you a headacheC. let you see a different pictureD. are more popular in movie theatersDDarek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralysed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and does so throughout life, and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka’s spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge acrossthe damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn’t control its hand put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt —it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realised.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What you’ve got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.13. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B. Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.C. Cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.D. He just wanted to give it a try.14. What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His study on animals.B. His operation on a paralysed patient.C. His sudden thoughts about Christmas.D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.15. David Nicholls’ words suggest that _____.A. the world is becoming better and brighterB. paralysed people have the hope of recoveryC. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the globe will carry out the operation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。

第二部分 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Collections were the inspiration for a project at Thomas Tallis School, which formed part of the Imagine Children’s Literature Festival last autumn. Each child (aged 12-13)beautiful a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it. The boxes were spread within the Royal Festival Hall’s Ballroom. Some were left empty to encourage visitors to write their own stories. The subject chosen by Lauren was an imaginative one. “It’s a sort of Cinderella story,” she told me, inspired by a collection of letters from her cousin. In the story these become love letters, burned by a cruel stepmother. Lauren’s best friend Charlotte is the stepmother. “I’m in Charlotte’s story too,” says Lauren, “and I get run over.” Charlotte’s tale was inspired by the girls’ coin collection. “We’ve collected foreign coins for years ---since our families went on holiday to Tenerife,” she explains. “That was before the Euro, so we put pesetas in.” Lauren continues, “I find a coin in the road, go to get it and get run over, I’m in hospital and then I die.” Charlotte adds, “Or she might not die. I haven’t decided yet.” Millie Murray, who is a teen-novel author, thinks that setting the subject of collections was a useful inspiration to their creativity rather than a restriction. “ In the beginning I thought, ‘Will the children be able to do it?’ ” she says, “ But it’s been fruitful. Some have their own collection, some have parents who do, and some have written complete stories. It’s made them think about something they wouldn’t have otherwise, which can only be a good thing.”
