AI took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.1. From the passage, we can infer that .A. people always cared about each other on the busB. people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tiredC. smiles can shorten the distance between peopleD. people are not good at communicating in the country2. What are we sure about the old man?A. His name was Charlie.B. He worked at the center for senior citizens.C. He got sick over the weekend.D. He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.3. Which of the following is not true?A. The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.B. People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.4. Which would be the best title for the passage？A. How to Shorten the Distance between PeopleB. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like HomeC. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle ManD. The Key to Friendship — CommunicationBWant to find a job?

If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel, you _________ .A. have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB. should be a university graduateC. have to be taller than 1.72 metersD. should be younger than 30 years oldCThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has clever ly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, indi vidual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one o f the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.8. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers9. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers10. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique11. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable12. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。

AA British shopper, Emma Mumford, who was named “the Coupon(优惠券) Queen” has spent just £350 on a luxury(奢侈) Christmas for her and her family—but got £2,500 worth of food, drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers.Ms Mumford is a so-called “extreme couponer” and spends hours hunting out the best deals and bargains. She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the last one. Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas. After sorting out gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate £1,000 worth of presents to her local hospital.“It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank. I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune. There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a high-end coffee machine.” she explained.She said “What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money. I know what it feels like to struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him. We were in a poor situation where every penny counted. That’s what really inspired me.”She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook Page.“I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off. One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year.”1. How did Emma make the huge savings?A. She compared prices through websites.B. She hunted out bargains in real shops.C. She used coupons and offers worth £3,500.D. She collected more Christmas presents than needed.2. What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?A. Buying presents of low quality.B. Sp ending more money than you have.C. Breaking into the bank.D. Taking out money from the bank.3. What really inspired Emma to help people save money?A. Her addiction to bargain-hunting.B. The financial difficulties she shared with her ex-partner.C. The poor situation people around her were going through.D. Her experience of running an unsuccessful business.4. Which of the following can best describe Emma?A. Ambitio us and creative.B. Sensitive and determined.C. Brave and lucky.D. Careful and caring.BCan you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do. So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the futur e of chocolate!The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties. They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don’t want that, do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985, after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Prof essor Paul Hadley, says, “One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says, “There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”5. What is the text mainly about?A. Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B. Planting cocoa worldwide.C. Keeping cocoa in greenhouse.D. Finding the new market for cocoa.6. The institution’s cocoa project is to_______.A. have cocoa skin removedB. offer more jobs to peopleC. ensure the quality of cocoaD. supply cocoa for two million people7. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The taste of chocolates is changing.B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.C. People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D. Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.8. Wh at’s the purpose of the text?A. To educate.B. To advertise.C. To warn.D. To inform.CThree years ago when I was just a freshman in high school, the busy spring season was approaching quickly. I was already preparing to play the saxophone（萨克斯）in my school's pit orchestra for themusical that year, for state solo and ensemble（合奏）, and softball tryouts（选拔赛）were just around the corner.It was only the second day of tryouts—a Tuesday. Adults were hitting pop-ups in the outfield as a drill （训练）. The drill was poorly set up, however, as two lines were formed in both the right and left outfields as the adults hit fly balls from the line towards center field. When it was my turn, I stepped up and the ball was hit. I turned and started to run back, but soon realized the ball was hit way too hard for me to catch. I turned around to run and get it... Then I recall waking up on the ground. As it turns out, when I turned to retrieve（取回）the ball, I ran into another player, my front teeth piercing her forehead. As one could imagine, I was horrified! My right front tooth was very loose and about to fall out. With the musical only four days away and state solo and ensemble a week away, It was vexatious!After going to the dentist and getting my tooth fixed, I went home and to bed after taking the prescribed painkillers. That Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I performed in the musical. I also went to state solo and ensemble the week after and received a one (the best score one can receive), regardless of the pain and discomfort I endured. I was determined to do what I love—play music... and I did.9. How was the drill place?A. It was not good.B. It was new.C. It was too hard.D. It was too high.10. How were the author’s teeth hurt?A. They were hit by the ball.B. They knocked into the ground.C. They hit a lady’s forehead.D. They were hit by an adult.11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A. there was nothing wrong with the author’s teethB. the accident affected th e author’s performancesC. the author liked and devoted to music very muchD. the author felt a little disappointed after taking medicineDThe poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20,000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhi nos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africa’s environmental issues minister, says, “During 2014, we are sad to say this, 1, 215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying.”The animals are hunted for their horns(犀牛角). Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin. That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails.Ms Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africa’s legal system isineffective. Ms Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year” Molewa said.Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “We’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month. Or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.12. What do we know about rhinos?A. Half of the rhinos live in South Africa.B. Less than 1, 000 rhinos were killed in 2013.C. The killing reached the highest point in 2014.D. There are only 20, 000 rhinos left in the world.13. What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A. To get more keratin.B. To protect the farmland.C. To use them for decoration.D. To make money from horns.14. Jo Shaw thinks that_________.A. many criminal groups are well organizedB. new laws are needed to punish the killersC. rhino protection needs international cooperationD. conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year15. What can we infer from the text?A. Rhino protection has a long way to go.B. No one would like to buy horns in the future.C. The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.D. Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

Imagine you could design(设计) your ideal(理想的) school. What would it be like? We wanted tofind out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is some designing from four children of different countries.31. Ma thinks his dream school should provide for students.A. more enjoyable thingsB. a comfortable computer roomC. a place to switch off from the lessons32. Sonia thinks students should share a room where they can .A. play sportsB. play instrumentsC. play computer games33. Richard wants to have off every week.A. two daysB. three daysC. four days34.

We can infer(推断) that in the four children's opinion, the ideal school should be a place where .A. students can learn more knowledgeB. students can get on well with their teachersC. students' wishes and interests can be respectedBLet's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010s. At a number of scenery spot (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.36. What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?A. Many green plants.B. Many wild animals.C. Many interesting places.37.

People run the farms by using high technology.39. Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?A. Because they want to be healthier.B. Because vegetables can make the patients well.C. Because there will be more people and fewer animals.40. What attitude(态度) does the writer have about the future life?A. He feels pretty hopeful about the future.B. He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.C. He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.COld Dawson had the best apples in town, but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because Dawson, a bad-tempered(坏脾气的) man, they said, would come after you with his gun.One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a big smile changed his whole face as he said, "Hello, Miss Amy. I see you've got a little friend with you today."Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.As they walked on, Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he's the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?"Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.We're always trying to achieve so much, and it's so easy to get caught up in (被卷入;陷入) everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let's smile to others.41. Kids were afraid of Dawson because .A. he disliked childrenB. he was a bad-tempered manC. he always took a gun with him42. On that day, when Old Dawson saw Amy getting close to his house, he was .A. very madB. quite happyC. really scared43. From the passage, we can know that .A. Amy wasn't afraid of Dawson beforeB. Janet never heard about the stories of DowsonC. Dawson offered each of the two children an apple that day44. The underlined sentence "he started smiling real smiles" means "Mr. Dawson ".A. got to like Amy's smile day by dayB. didn't know how to smile until he met AmyC. started to accept Amy as a true friend with real feeling45. The best title for the passage may be .A. Smile Brings a Big SuccessB. Smile Improves the RelationshipC. Smile Changes the Environment四、对话7选5（共5小题；共10.0分）(Alex meets Cindy at school on Monday morning.)A: Hi, Cindy! How was your last weekend?B: Awful.

She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of himand so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. S mith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!28.

What if the rain forests and all of the plants and colorful animalssuddenly did not exist(存在)? In 1962, Gaylord Nelson decided something needed to be done toprotect the environment. The work that he began led to what we now know as Earth Day, which iscelebrated each year around the world.Nelson realized very few people were concerned(关注) about environmental problems. He thenwent to Washington, D.C., where he hoped to persuade President John F. Kennedy to take a standon environmental problems. It wasn’t long before President Kennedy agreed that action should be taken. The President set out on a five-day, eleven-state environmental protection tour in September1963. Although Kennedy’s tour was not a success, Nelson was not ready to give up.Nelson continued to speak to audiences across 25 states about the importance of the environment.Although his point of view began to be accepted among most people, politicians were still notlistening.It was September of 1969, at a meeting in Seattle, when Nelson announced that he would holda nationwide demonstration(游行) for environmental protection the next spring. On April 22, 1970,more than 20 million Americans took part in Nelson’s demonstration. It made people sit up and pay attention to environmental problems. One year later, that day was set up as an official internationalholiday by the UN. Each year on Earth Day, people plant trees, clean up rubbish, and do other thingsto care for the environment.24.

More than 20 million people joined in Nelson’s demonstration.A．c,a,d,b B．a,c,d,b C．c,d,b,a D．b,c,a,d27．The best title for the passage could be “________”．A．Gaylord Nelson’s life B．A great environmentalistC．Demonstration on April 22, 1970 D．History of Earth DayCTo me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. Butmusic plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, forexample, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot,and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music wehear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life，too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So musicsurely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning forthose who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makeshis body strong.”28. What dose the writer say more about in the text?A. Life full of music.B. Life without music.C. The importance of music.D. The development of music.29. From the text, we learn that many people________.A. don't realize the importance of musicB. get along quite well without musicC. go to the concert instead of enjoying musicD. think music would be less exciting than films30. What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?A. flyingB. lookingC. singingD. living31. From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.A. is very important, especially for childrenB. is very necessary for our everyday lifeC. can make our life exciting and dramaticD. can enter into another beautiful worldDWhat is courage? It is the choice to do what we think we should do. It is the choice to ignorethe worries and fears. It is the choice to do right, to realize our dreams, to be successful people andto lead the way for others.Courage can change lives. The day you begin to stare down your fears and worries, and insteadact bravely, your life will change. You will be set free to fly high. You will finish things you once only dreamed of. You will realize that you fears are just paper tigers. You will begin to fullfill your dreams. You will also change the lives of others. Simply put, courageous people pull others along with them. Everybody benefits from courageous people.I have a friend whom I admire greatly. A few year ago he decided to leave a well-paid career and run after his dream. All difficulties then appeared. The day he left his company, he found out thathis wife had cancer. He went into a great deal of debt. But he never lost heart. He managed to raise some money and acted courageously, putting his name and reputation(名声) on the line. He finally made it. A year later, he had a company with over fifty employees. Those employees got benefitsfrom his courage and his wife, who beat cancer and was acting bravely with him!How to be courageous?Be clear about your dream.Do not worry. Worry is just thinking about all the bad possibilities. Courage is just thinking aboutall the great possiblities and then acting upon them!Do your homework. It helps you get the facts. It helps because you can make an informed decision. Then act. No action, no success. Yes, courage does change lives, and the key lies in your action.32. In the writer’s opinion, courage is the choice to.A. do what others think we should doB. ignore our dreamsC. be a successful businessmanD. to lead the way for others”．33. The underlined phrases “stare down”(paragraph 2) probably means “A. overcome by staringB. fell or realizeC. look for a long timeD. give in to or accept34. The writer uses the case of his friend to .A. prove anyone can succeed if he runs after his dreamB. prove people who have courage can beat cancerC. tell readers how his friend succeeded by having courageD. show doing own business is better than working for others35. What can we do to be courageous？A. Do not dare to have many dreams.B. Think about the great possibilities instead of bad possibilities.C. Finish all of your homework that teachers give you.D. Make a quick decision and then insist on it.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容选出最佳选项：Advice for new studentsStarting your university career can be one of the most exciting times of your life.

You may not believe that such a town has shops car parks, hotels, restaurants, cafes and much more. Well, Coober Pedy in Australia is just such a place.Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for --- opals(蛋白石). Living underground is the only way to be away from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground. Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19℃ and 20℃ and life is cool.Mary Deane and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a home, built with money from the opals Jim has found. “Whenever people hear we live underground, they al ways imagine a dusty cave,” says Mary, “but they are amazed at my clean kitchen, our furniture and electrical appliances in here.”However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is five times more expensive underground than it is overground. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usuallywashes his car with bath water and they have a special system to reuse the water from the dishwasher and washing machine.Even so, most families enjoy life in Coober Pedy. The children can make as much noise as they want and there are no complaints from the neighbors because the thick walls stop sounds from traveling. Adults enjoy the peace and quiet away from the world above.21. People in Coober Pedy live underground______.A. because of their secret identitiesB. because it is warmer undergroundC. so that they can save some moneyD. due to the terrible natural environment.22.

High living expenses.B. The awfully dusty environment.C. Shortage of water and greenery.D. The extremely high temperatures24. Children enjoy the life in Coober Pedy mainly because they _____.A. enjoy traveling around with their parentsB. can get many expensive toys from their parentsC. enjoy the peace and quiet while doing their homeworkD. can enjoy themselves without disturbing their neighborsBVolunteer Day schedule:7:30 a.m.: Meet at the Community Center for breakfast.8-8:30 a.m.: Visit with people from the many participating organizations.

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）AWhat is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. As Bernard Shaw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. Pe ople not only make h istory, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo it. They should put communication first. 1．Language is used to ________.A. practice grammar rulesB. express oneselfC. talk with foreigners onlyD. learn lists of words2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he or she________.A. never makes mistakesB. often makes mistakesC. can't avoid making mistakesD. always makes mistakes3．In the passage, the word “those” underlined refers to ________.A. languagesB. rulesC. speakersD. mistakes4．If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.A. what they use will become rightB. they are against the lawC. they should say sorry to othersD. they will become heroesBWill it matter if you don't have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school , he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.5. During the test, the people were given __________ .A. no breakfast at allB. different breakfasts or sometimes noneC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast6. Scientists wanted to know whether __________.A. breakfast had any effect on work and studiesB. people were interested in breakfastC. breakfast did harm to people’s healthD. people would work better without breakfast7. Ac cording to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will __________.A. lose weightB. get a good result in their workC. gain weightD. not be hungry at all8. Which of the following sciences is not right?A. It is bad for your health to h ave no breakfast.B. No breakfast and more lunch may make you fatter.C. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.D. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weightC"Let's go Dutch, shall we?" Jim said after a dinner to his friends in a restaurant.What does Jim mean?Long ago, there was a kind of dinner called Dutch treat. At a Dutch treat, the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his or her own share.There are many other expressions related with "Dutch" in American English. However, most of them were first used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So when British people talked about something wrong or bad, they would like to use the word "Dutch ".A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you, "You are in Dutch. The teacher is angry with you. Be careful!" When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission. Dutch courage is the false courage that a person gets from drinking wine. When someone has just said something you don’t believe is true, you c an say “I ‘m a Dutchman.”There is one expression that did come from the Dutch. That is to talk like a Dutch uncle. The Dutch were known for the strict and serious way they educated their children.9.From the passage we can know the Dutch means the people or the language of __.A. NetherlandsB. BritainC. EnglandD. America10. What did people mean by saying “Let’s go Dutch”?A. The guests should leave first.B. The food should be better next time.C. Each person should pay his or her own bill.D. People should go to another restaurant.11. When you hear some one says “I’ve got a date with Cindy.” you may answer like this:A. Oh, you talk like a Dutch uncleB. Aha! You are in DutchC. Go Dutch with meD. Oh yeah, and I’m a Dutchman12. The passage is mainly about __________.A. language and historyB. some expressionsC. the Dutch and historyD. idioms about DutchDIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange, and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spent time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not wanttime to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.13. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A. Yellow, greenB. Brown, whiteC. Blue, violetD. Black, blue14. Which of the following statement is not true?A. Sociable people like warm colors.B. People who like to be with others don’t like red.C. Warm colors can make people excited.D. Where there are warm colors, People want to be active.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Warm colors remind people of warm days.B. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are coolC. Cool colors remind people of cool days.D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

AOnce upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years．”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him．Then one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer．”The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply．The old man came，took out the arrow and said, “I knew that some day or other you were going to do this．That’s why I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My Master is still alive，and I’m nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is very old，so go fast! Find the old man!”1．The young archer wanted to kill the old man because _______.A．he had nothing more to learn from himB．he could then become the greatest archerC．the old man refused to teach him everythingD．the king’s old servant ordered him to do so2．The following sentences show what happened between the young archer and his master．Which is the right order of the events?a．The old man wounded the young man.b．The young man learned from the old man.c．The young man wanted to kill the old man.d．The young man asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer.A．abcd B．dcba C．dbca D．dbac3．What do you think would most probably happen next?A．The young archer died from the wound soon after．B．The king declared the young man the greatest archer．C．The young archer found the old man’s master and killed him．D．The y oung archer set off to look for the old man’s master．4．What lesson can you learn from the story?A．There’s always someone better than you in this world．B．You must never try to become better than your teacher．C．The older a man is，the better archer he usually becomes．D．Always use a piece of wood to protect yourself from an arrow．BNearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.5．Where would this article probably appear?A．In a popular magazine. B．On the front page of a newspaper.C．In a science textbook. D．In an encyclopedia(百科全书).6．The main purpose of the article is to __________ .A．explain how shyness developedB．recommend ways of dealing with shynessC．persuade readers that shyness is naturalD．prove that shyness can overcome7．Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?A．Shy people never have any fun.B．Entertainers choose their work to fight shyness.C．The attempt to overcome s hyness is always successful.D．The attempt to overcome shyness is always worthwhile.8．What is the source of the suggestions for fighting shyness?A．The author of the article. B．Shy men and women.C．doctors and psychologists D．Popular entertainers.CCycling for AirTed Shred doesn’t like cars. He wants people to stop driving because cars make the air dirty. Ted had an idea.

She has a lot of fanancial difficulty. She told me some things in her life: She could n’t get milk for her little boy since it is too expensive. She was so happy to find $2 jeans(工装裤) at a shop even though it couldn’t really fit her, she was worried about the long drive to my grandparants’house, beacause she had no food for the next day and no money to buy gas on the way as she had spend her last $20.I had saved some money . After hearing about her troubles, I went downstairs and put a note of $50 in the front pocket of the handbag in secret. I didn’t want to give her money directly, because I knew it would embarrass（使难堪）her and that she would refuse it since I’m a kid and don’t have a job.However, I’m very happy with what I did. Although I do not know whether she can find who has given her the money, I know it is of use to her. She is raising a family and has large medical needs!

What if the rain forests and all of the plants and colorful animals suddenly did not exist(存在)? In 1962, Gaylord Nelson decided something needed to be done to protect the environment. The work that he began led to what we now know as Earth Day, which is celebrated each year around the world.Nelson realized very few people were concerned(关注) about environmental problems. He then went to Washington, D.C., where he hoped to persuade President John F. Kennedy to take a stand on environmental problems. It wasn’t long before President Kennedy agreed that action should be taken. The President set out on a five-day, eleven-state environmental protection tour in September 1963. Although Kennedy’s tour was not a success, Nelson was not ready to give up.Nelson continued to speak to audiences across 25 states about the importance of the environment. Although his point of view began to be accepted among most people, politicians were still not listening.It was September of 1969, at a meeting in Seattle, when Nelson announced that he would hold a nationwide demonstration(游行) for environmental protection the next spring. On April 22, 1970, more than 20 million Americans took part in Nelson’s demonstration. It made people sit up and pay attention to environmental problems. One year later, that day was set up as an official international holiday by the UN. Each year on Earth Day, people plant trees, clean up rubbish, and do other things to care for the environment.24.

President Kennedy set out on a conservation tour.d. More than 20 million people joined in Nelson’s demonstration.A．c,a,d,b B．a,c,d,b C．c,d,b,a D．b,c,a,d27．The best title for the passage could be “________”.A．Gaylord Nelson’s life B．A great environmentalistC．Demonstration on April 22, 1970 D．History of Earth DayCTo me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life，too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”28. What dose the writer say more about in the text?A. Life full of music.B. Life without music.C. The importance of music.D. The development of music.29. From the text, we learn that many people________.A. don't realize the importance of musicB. get along quite well without musicC. go to the concert instead of enjoying musicD. think music would be less exciting than films30. What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?A. flyingB. lookingC. singingD. living31. From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.A. is very important, especially for childrenB. is very necessary for our everyday lifeC. can make our life exciting and dramaticD. can enter into another beautiful worldDWhat is courage? It is the choice to do what we think we should do. It is the choice to ignore the worries and fears. It is the choice to do right, to realize our dreams, to be successful people and to lead the way for others.Courage can change lives. The day you begin to stare down your fears and worries, and instead act bravely, your life will change. You will be set free to fly high. You will finish things you once only dreamed of. You will realize that you fears are just paper tigers. You will begin to fullfill your dreams. You will also change the lives of others. Simply put, courageous people pull others along with them. Everybody benefits from courageous people.I have a friend whom I admire greatly. A few year ago he decided to leave a well-paid career and run after his dream. All difficulties then appeared. The day he left his company, he found out that his wife had cancer. He went into a great deal of debt. But he never lost heart. He managed to raise some money and acted courageously, putting his name and reputation(名声) on the line. He finally made it. A year later, he had a company with over fifty employees. Those employees got benefits from his courage and his wife, who beat cancer and was acting bravely with him!How to be courageous?Be clear about your dream.Do not worry. Worry is just thinking about all the bad possibilities. Courage is just thinking about all the great possiblities and then acting upon them!Do your homework. It helps you get the facts. It helps because you can make an informed decision. Then act. No action, no success. Yes, courage does change lives, and the key lies in your action.32. In the writer’s opinion, courage is the choice to.A. do what others think we should doB. ignore our dreamsC. be a successful businessmanD. to lead the way for others33. The underlined phrases “stare down”(paragraph 2) probably means “”.A. overcome by staringB. fell or realizeC. look for a long timeD. give in to or accept34. The writer uses the case of his friend to .A. prove anyone can succeed if he runs after his dreamB. prove people who have courage can beat cancerC. tell readers how his friend succeeded by having courageD. show doing own business is better than working for others35. What can we do to be courageous？A. Do not dare to have many dreams.B. Think about the great possibilities instead of bad possibilities.C. Finish all of your homework that teachers give you.D. Make a quick decision and then insist on it.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容选出最佳选项：Advice for new studentsStarting your university career can be one of the most exciting times of your life.

1 2015—2016学年度高一年级升学考试 英语试卷 2015. 8
时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第I卷 第一部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共 15小题；每小题3分，满分45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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Dear Sir, I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it. The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day? The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop? The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them. It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better? Yours, Tired passenger 1. The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because______. A. it arrives on time B. it is not always full C. it travels faster D. it has fewer seats on it 2. The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most. A. 20 B. 40 C. 60 D. 129 3. From the passage we can infer that the writer of the letter is probably ______. A. an airport worker B. a bus driver C. a very tired traveler D. an English teacher 4. What kind of letter is this passage? A. It’s a letter of thanks. B. It’s a letter of apology. C. It’s a letter of introduction. D. It’s a letter of complaint. B One morning in midsummer, I headed out to have a good time by myself on the paths of Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue Nebraska. It was a typically warm and wet summer day in Nebraska. The bugs were 2
everywhere: mosquitoes, flies, bees, you name it. I followed the stream path, which made its way through four-foot high grass. I tried to enjoy the beautiful scenery but had to constantly fan away the bugs in front of my face. I grew increasingly upset. Eventually becoming angry with the bugs, I stopped and waved my arms all round while turning around in a circle. At the very moment, I saw what I had missed the moment before. It seems that a deer had been hidden in the tall grass just one foot away from where I stood. I missed it because of my concentration on the bugs. When I was ready to watch it, the deer was forced to abandon its spot. It leaped in the air right before my eyes and rushed off for better cover. It was too late. I missed it. Now I was attentive and ready to see what was around me, but the sight that might have been seen was gone. I missed the enjoyment of being so close to wildlife! Immediately I wondered what else I was missing, and not just there on the path. I wondered how the bothersome bugs of my life kept me from noticing really important stuff. Maybe it is very useful for my life. This has become a life lesson that I’ve remembered often. It’s affected my visits with my grandma, the time alone with my husband, and get-together with friends. I’ve learned from my mistake. 5. The author went to Fontenelle Forest to __________. A. get close to wildlife B. explore the paths C. search for deer D. enjoy herself 6. How did the author probably feel when she missed the deer? A. Surprised. B. Cheerful. C. Regretful. D. Pleased. 7. What does the underlined word “stuff” in the last paragraph mean? A. Things. B. Problems. C. Lessons. D. Moments. 8. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To describe an unusual experience. B. To tell us a serious mistake she made. C. To share a lesson she learned. D. To show her dislike for bugs.
C Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day Gift No. 1 Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.
