He never criticized us, but used 38 to bring out our best. He'd say,“If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don't give them water, they die.” I 39 as a child I said something 40 about somebody, and my father said, “ 41 time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of yourself.” He explained that if I looked for the best 42 people, I would get the best 43 .

I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.” They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?” I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 56. Two children came to the writer’s front door because _________________. A. it was Thanksgiving Day B. they were beggars C. they wanted old papers D. they wanted a cup of cocoa 57. Why did the writer let the children in? A. She showed great pity on them B. She had old papers to sell C. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast D. She wanted them to see how rich she was 58. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ____________. A. how much money you have had B. how you feel about your life C. how you have helped others D. what job your husband is doing 59. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to _______. A. show her husband that someone had come B. remind her that she had helped two children C. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood D. remind her how life should be B Have you ever heard of Angel Falls? It's the highest waterfall in the world, deep in the jungles of Venezuela. Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the northern coast, it would take about four hours. What would it be like to take a trip by plane from Caracas to the falls? For hundreds of miles you would fly southeast over green plains. Then the land would become higher and you see mountains with forests. Soon the land would level out to high plateaus(高原). Finally, you would fly toward a deep valley steep, rocky sides. Suddenly you would see a silver thread in the distance. Then as your plane flew closer, you would see the waterfall more clearly. You would see water falling over half a mile straight down the cliff. It is a sight you would never forget. No one knew about this high waterfall until 1930. In that year James Angel, an American pilot flew over the areas. As he was flying over the mountains and valleys, he suddenly saw a waterfall. It was an unforgettable sight, the water seemed to be dropping straight out of the clouds. In 1941 an American expedition explored and measured the falls. From the top to the bottom, the water falls more than 3,200 feet. These falls are over 1 000 feet higher than any other falls in the world. 60. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world. B. Many people go to see Angel Falls every year. C. Angel Falls is in Venezuela. D. Angel Falls looks like a silver thread in the distance. 61. Angel Falls was named after . A. an American B. a pilot of Caracas C. an American expedition D. a deep valley 62. If you travel to Angel Falls by air, which is the correct order of what you do and see? a. fly toward a deep valley with steep, rocky sides b. the land becomes higher c. take a plane from Caracas d. the water falls straight down the cliff e. fly southeast over green plains f. see a silver thread in the distance A. c, e, a, b, f, d B. a, c, b, d, f, C. a, d, c, b, e, f D. c, e, b, a, f, d 63. The best headline for this passage would be . A. A Trip to Angel Falls B. An Unforgettable Sight C. Angel Falls D. Waterfalls in the World C When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying. Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and according to the study it is found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying. Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them. Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health, studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural---and healthy---emotional response. 64. Why didn’t the author cry when her grandmother died? A.Because her father did not want her to feel too sad. B.Because she did not love her grandmother. C.Because she was too shy to cry at that time. D.The author doesn’t give the explanation. 65. It can be inferred from the text that . A.there are two ways to keep healthy B.crying does more good to health than laughing C.crying and laughing play the same roles D.emotional health has a close relationship to physical health 66. According to the author, which of the following statements is true? A.Crying is the best way to get help from others. B.Fighting back tears may cause some health problems. C.We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry. D.We must cry if we want to reduce pressure. 67. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A.Power of Tears B. How to Keep Healthy C.Why We Cry D. A New Scientific Discovery D Discover Newsmagazine of science devoted to the wonders and stories of modern science, written for the educated general reader.

The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language. But “father” failed even to make it on to the list of the 70 best words complied(汇编) in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the globe. From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love”, “smile” and “blossom”. “Mother-in-law” was also nowhere to be seen. Funny that maybe the hyphens(连 字符) disqualified it. In second place was “passion”, followed by “smile”, “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic”, “destiny”, “freedom”, “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10. The results were revealed by the British Council which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non- English speaking countries. The study was undertaken to celebrate the group’s 70th anniversary — and it threw up a few surprising entries to the list. “It’s interesting that ‘mother’, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll( 投 票 )” ， said British Council spokesman Greg Selby. “It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council’s purpose — words such as ‘freedom’, ‘liberty’, ‘peace’, ‘renaissance’ and ‘destiny’.” Those surveyed were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr. Selby. This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce, like “flip-flop”, made the list. Famous mothers like Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular. The mood was added to by Britney Spears, yesterday as she expressed her love for her mother.She said: “My mom was and still is a supermom. She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I relate to her so well is because she’s a young mom.” She added: “Mom, thanks for being the best role model — you rock.” 72. Which of the following is true? A. “Father” was on the list of the 70 best words in the survey. B. “Mother-in-law” wasn’t on the list of the best words. C. Only in Ankara and Zurich, “mother” was voted the first beautiful word. D. “Mother” is not the only word of the 70 that shows a direct relationship between people. 73. Which of the following shows the correct order of the first five words? A. Mother, smile, passion, love and eternity. B. Mother, passion, smile, love and eternity. C. Mother, smile, love, eternity and passion. D. Mother-in-law, passion, smile, love and eternity. 74. What do the underlined words “you rock” mean? A. You are fantastic. B. You like rock and roll. C. You are hard to deal with. D. You shake. 75. What can we learn from the passage about the word “flip-flop”? A. Famous people like the word “flip-flop”. B. The word “flip-flop” is not included in the best words list. C. The word “flip-flop” is not a commonly used word. D. The pronunciation of “flip-flop” is not attracting. 第二卷（共 45 分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节：单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 76.She was the first to realize the _______________ ( 潜 在 的 ) danger of our situation. 77.The (满是尘土的) road made the travelers dirty too. 78.I ( 坚 持 要 求 )that you take immediate action to deal with the problem. 79.Marriage is, first of all, a contract which must be governed by (公正). 80.Woman is physically but not (智力上) weaker than man. 81.Never pay the advertised price for a car; always try to (讲价). 82.The new method didn't have much (效果)on results. 83.The (平均)age of the boys in this class is fifteen. 84.Generally speaking, the body can quickly (调节)itself to changes in temperature. 85.

From my point of view, the English Summer Camp is of great importance for every summer because it can improve our interest in learning English and also promote the friendship between readers and editors. All the activities are so attractive that I have made up my mind to take part in all of them. My favourite activities are communicating with the Australian students and serving as an English guide to the Great Wall. The reason is that I can make many foreign friends and practise my oral English. And I’m sure this English Winter Camp will be benefical to many middle school students like me and I hope it will be held successfully. Thank you very much.

He didn’t come home at lunch time, phoning 36 to tell me he was fine and had found a few days’ work 37 out at an exhibit. However, after he finished work he 38 for supper as usual. I asked him how he had 39 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 40 at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had _41_ him a few dollars and invited him for lunch 42 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to 43 the next day to help with other chores(杂务). I was glad he had found new friends but a little 44 about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, these are just 45 everyday people like anyone else. They 46 work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and 47 them yourself,” he said. So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had 48 me to. The twin brothers 49 out to be Siamese(连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this 50 was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “yes, I 51 that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes 52 it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good 53. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.” What others see first in a person is not what a child considers 54. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a 55 I have thought about many times over the years. 36.

It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable (令人敬畏的)，but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are. Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere. Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with 10 minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms. Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1,500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects. Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as a teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students’ ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for students’ use. 56. At the beginning, Special English program was ________. A. well received B. rejected by native people C. doubted by some professionals D. intended for teaching English 57. What kind of English is spoken on Special English? A. British English B. American English C. Both British and American English D. Not certain 58. Which of the following are the elements that make Special English unique? a. limited vocabulary b. short simple sentences c. good communication method d. slow speed e. interesting feature programming A. a, b, e B. a, c, d C. a, b, d D. b, d, e 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Special English has been founded for less than 50 years. B. Native English speakers don’t go in for Special English much. C. Special English usually starts with 20 minutes of the latest news. D. People can learn some idioms from Special English. 60. From the last paragraph we can infer that ________. A. Listening to Special English can be a student’s homework B. Listening to Special English can improve the content of the program. C. Some students record the Special English material for sale D. Learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learners. B On August 15th, in the women's individual all-around final of gymnastics of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Chusovitina is a shining star although she failed to win a medal eventually. When 33-year-old Oxana Chusovitina competes in her fifth Olympics (Beijing Olympics), she is twice the age of most of her competitors. In addition, she has also competed in ten World Championships, three Asian Games and three Goodwill Games. Chusovitina holds the record for the most individual World Championships medals on a single event. She won an Olympic team gold medal as a 17-year-old in 1992. Since then she has won a record of eight world titles. Her long career owes something to fate. In 2002, when her son Alisher, now aged nine, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病), she moved to Germany so that he could get the best possible treatment. To help in those difficult times she kept up her training. It has paid off. But saving Alisher’s life is not her only motivation. As she recently told German media, “There is nothing in the world I enjoy more than gymnastics.” Chusovitina was born on June 19, 1975 in Uzbek USSR. She was formerly a citizen of, and a competitor for, the former Soviet Union (before 1993) and Uzbekistan (1993-2006). She has competed for Germany since 2006. By the year of 2008, Chusovitina’s career in gymnastics had been twenty years. She is one of only a handful of women to return to high-level gymnastics and international competition after becoming a mother. Chusovitina is remarkable in her ability to remain competitive for so many years, often in the face of great difficulty, and has been considered as a role model and an inspiration by many people in the gymnastics community. 61. When she was 17 years old, Chusovitina won an Olympic team gold medal for ________. A. the former Soviet Union B. Uzbekistan C. Germany D. Russia 62. Chusovitina might begin her career in gymnastics in _______. A. 1975 B. 1988 C. 1992 D. 1992 63. Chusovitina left her homeland because _______. A. she wanted to compete in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games B. she wanted to serve for Germany C. she wanted her son to get the best treatment D. she had to face great difficulty in her homeland 64. According to the passage, Chusovitina is different from the other competitors in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games because_______. A. she is the best competitor in the games B. she is much older than other gymnastics girls C. she won an Olympic team gold medal when she was very young D. she competes in order to earn money 65. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Chusovitina? A. Kind-hearted. B. Lovable. C. Tough-minded. D. Serious-minded. C A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃 ) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. 66. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease. B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland. C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America. D. Heart doctors won’t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day. 67. The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connection between _______ and the incidence of heart disease. A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different regions 68. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the changes in people’s diet in the United States C. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures D. the effect of fish-eating regularly on people’s health 69. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States? A. The author doesn’t give a definite answer. B. Because American people drink too much spirits. C. Because there are a great number of fat people there. D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish. 70. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study? A. 550, 000. B. 110,000. C. 275,000. D. 852. D The United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June. Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law. Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance. But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day. 71. What does this passage mainly tell us? A. High fuel prices’ influences on school buses. B. New measures to transport school students. C. The safest form of student transportation. D. The origin of Walk to School Day. 72. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph? A. There are too many school buses in the United States. B. There are too many students in the US. C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US. D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US. 73. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results. B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services. C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means. D. Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment. 74. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____. A. changing some bus routes B. stopping some bus routes C. asking parents to drive children to and from school D. using other types of fuels 75. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____. A. save more fuels and diesel for the country B. keep the children safe on their way to school C. make the children live a simple life D. keep the children healthy and the environment clean 2009—2010 学年度第一学期高二年级期末考试 英语试题 第 II 卷（共三节 满分 45 分） 第一节： 根据下列各句句意及所给单词的首字母或汉语意 思，在句首写出该单词的正确形式。 (每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 76. _______ I’ve always been very _____ (谨慎的) about giving my address to strangers. 77. _______ Fold the letter and put it in an _______ (信封). 78. _______ Any creature who ________ (拥有) one of these rings has great power. 79. _______ He considered that the change could be _______(有益的) to her health. 80. _______ I was ______( 享有) with a happy childhood, one that most people would want to have. 81. _______ The man was one of the s______ from the earthquake. 82. _______ Whenever you are in trouble, don’t h______ to ask me for help. 83. _______ The situation at Omaha Beach was so bad that the US army commanders thought about a_______ the invasion. 84. _______ Please don’t i_______ me when I am talking. 85. _______ In Haiti, new difficulties have a_____ after the earthquake. 第二节：阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。 [1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “ Information Age” demands people who are flexible ( 灵 活 的 ) and who have good______________. [2] There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. [3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social 得分 评卷人 得分 评卷人 science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions. [4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study. 86. What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) _____________________________________________________________ 87.

Recently, we often have to buy presents for our classmates’ birthdays, and sometimes, we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays. About this there are two different views. Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school. However, some other students think it’s a waste of money and time and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education. We must treasure our parents’ labor and put our hearts into our studies. What do you think about it? I’m expecting your reply.

Although he was twice as 33 as his professors, he loved going. He said, “You can never 34 too much, no matter how old you are.” He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion. My grandfather’s will to learn was a great 35 for me to do my best in school. We were always 36 with each other, trying to bring home the better grade. When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on the 37 .

They are very much like people who once lived in Peru on the west coast of South America. There is a legend that, when their country was attacked and conquered, these people left Peru on rafts and set off across the sea to the west. The legend was that they were taken across the sea by one of their ancestors, Tike, son of the sun. A Norwegian, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they may have reached the South Pacific islands. He noticed that they would have been taken in that direction by strong winds and currents, even though they had only simple rafts made of very light wood called balsa-wood. His idea was laughed at but he decided to prove it. With five other brave men, he built a raft just like the one Tike would have used, and they set out to repeat the great voyage across 4,000 miles of open sea, which they believed Tike’s people once made. Heyerdahl’s raft was made of nine balsa- wood logs tied together with ropes. The longest log was 45 feet long. No nails were used, for nails would not have been used by Tiki’s men, and the raft was called“Kon-Tiki”. They took on board such food as fruit and dried food and coconuts, but they expected to live mainly on fish. They took a parrot as a pet. When all was ready, the raft with the six young men aboard was towed out from Callal harbor in Peru, and cast off at the mercy of winds and currents. Their greatest danger was of falling overboard, as they realized too well when their precious parrot was blown overboard in a storm and lost. The light raft was driven along at so great a speed by the wind and current that it could not possibly be stopped, so whatever went overboard was almost certain to be lost. After three months at sea they saw their first island and smelled smoke from a fire. They had reached the Pacific islands of Tuamotu, just as Heyerdahl had hoped. 46．According to the passage, it is still unknown . A．in what way people came to live on the South Pacific islands. B．how people live on the South Pacific islands C．whether the people living on the South Pacific islands are like the people living in Peru D．how many islands there are in the South Pacific Ocean 47．Heyerdahl decided to prove that A．Tiki was son of the sun B．the South Pacific islands were once part of South America C．Tiki was one of the ancestors of the Norwegians D．people from Peru reached the South Pacific islands on rafts 48．Falling overboard was most dangerous because A．none of then could swim B．they could not stop the raft C．two of the men had fallen into the sea D．there was only one lifebelt on board B Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（抽奖）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as saying, “During Government Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net(净余的)gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(丘疹).”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 49．Which statement is true according to the article? A．Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying. B．You can’t trust gamblers(赌博的人) C．All governors help their states. D．The truth can be used in dishonest ways 50．The author clearly wants people to . A．think carefully about what they read and hear B．know that lies are lies C．never trust anyone D．vote for females candidates 51．Which of the following would be the best title? A．Yucky Corporation B．Everyone Lies C．Lying With the Truth D．Nose Pimples C In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect”, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earth’s climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2°Celsius. Although a temperature rise of 2°may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10°by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4°. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century, But how does the “greenhouse effect”operate and why should such a tiny proportion（比 例）of CO2 have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen. However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2-18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year. 52．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Professor Bolin’s predictions were taken seriously in the first place B．Only a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide C．No changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more D．The rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world. 53．The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because . A．Carbon dioxide is produced when we breathe B．Carbon dioxide is produced when we burn things C．More forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned D．The global temperature keeps rising 54．The “greenhouse effect”refers to A．the problem of the rising global temperature B．the problem of increasing population worldwide C．the problem of increasing population worldwide D．the problem of air pollution 55．The underlined word“operate”in the third paragraph most probably means“ ”. A．play B．move C．manage D．function 第二节：五位学生打算选择适合各自情况的文学课程。第 56 至 60 题是学生对课程要求的 介绍。阅读下面六个课程简介（A、B、C、D、E 和 F），选出符合各人需要的最佳 选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 56． Tommy has the basic knowledge of American literature.

Here I wish you a lot∧ fun on your really of birthday and many happy return of the day ! returns One possible version: Dear Sir or Madam: I’m writing to express my attitude towards the topic “whether teenagers’ secrets should be kept from their parents”. As a teenager, I don’t see anything wrong in keeping secrets to ourselves. We teenagers are going through a special period of development both physically and psychologically. Exposed to a world of adults, it is only too natural for us to begin imitating adults’ behaviors in secret. That’s just part of growth. Keeping our secrets from our parents can provide us with a chance to experience the world on our own, which will surely exert a positive effect on our future development. As for me, I do have my little secrets and rarely share them with my family. My parents are very understanding. They say they are glad that I’m beginning to have my own world. Instead of building a generation gap, this makes us feel even closer to each other. 云南省楚雄一中 08-09 学年高二下学期期末考试（英语） 考试时间 120 分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 7. 5 分） What are the two speakers talking about?

Tricks are hard to resist. No one is ever too old to enjoy them or too young either. In fact, many of the most successful tricks are really quite simple. They don't require special equipments or hours of practice. For example, you tell a friend “Pick a card”, then you surprise him by telling him which card he picked. Here's how it is done. Take a pack of cards and secretly look at the bottom card. Put the cards facedown on a table, and ask your friend to pick a card. Then place the card at the bottom. Has your friend picked the cards by taking part of the cards from the top and putting it at the bottom? Start turning the cards up one at a time. You can pretend to think hard about each card. Look for the bottom card at the beginning which you have remembered. The cards that come after it will be the one your friend picked. Also, a mind-reading trick is fun to do at a party. You leave the room, and while you are gone, a tea cup is placed upside down over a penny, nickel（$0. 05）, dime（$0. 1）or quarter（$0. 25）. When you come back into the room, you can tell which coin the tea cup is hiding. To do this trick, you only need a helper, or partner. Before hand, you two work out some signals. If he looks up. it's a penny; if he looks right, a nickel. You see, they are all very easy. Why not have a try? 56. “ Trick” in the passage means_________. A. a clever act or plan to fool somebody B. clever actions done to people by using skill to confuse them C. a strange habit D. the cards played or won in a game of cards 57. The most important thing for a successful trick of cards is to_________. A. put the cards facedown on a table B. keep your eyes on the card your friend has picked C. remember the bottom card D. pretend to think hard while turning the cards up 58. You can know which coin the tea cup is hiding because_________. A. a helper tells you by doing some actions B. it's very easy to guess C. you can take a look at it when no one is looking at D. your helper can guess the right answer and tells you secretly 59. The author's main purpose to write this passage is_________. A. to tell the readers tricks are done to fool people B. to give the readers knowledge about all kinds of tricks C. to tell the readers how to do some easy tricks to enjoy themselves D. to say tricks are very popular B Good health is the most precious thing in the world. When you have got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible, diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation. Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee. So far so good. The danger is when these innocent pleasure run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures. All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying: “It’s all very well for him to talk, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pressures that I can’t manage without them. ” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend. 60. In the writer’s view, the most precious thing in the world is ________. A. time B. work C. friendship D. good health 61. This passage is mainly about _________.

A. ￥594 B. ￥534 C. ￥592 D. ￥832 D My friend Jennie gave her bone marrow （ 骨 髓 ） to a 50-year-old woman, a woman she has never met. At the end of March, the Red Cross called back. Six different blood elements were tested ; Jennie matched five completely and was about a 3/4 match of the six. So she was the best match. In April, Jennie went for a complete physical exam by one of the doctors who would perform the surgery. The doctor had to make sure that it would be no tread to her. The doctor told her that the surgery would need to have two quarts of bone marrow from her hip bones. Jennie would probably be released the same day the surgery took place and should expect to be painful for a couple of months. “I didn't think it was that big a deal until I realized I was a match,” Jennie said. “There was not a question in my head. It didn't seem like something that was going above and beyond. ” Jennie was left with two very small scars on her lower back from the surgery and was giving medication to help reduce the pain. She still felt a great deal of pressure on her lower back. “Being only 21, I felt like I am not old enough to significantly impact someone's life,” Jennie said. “ It seems strange to me that I could possibly save this woman's life which was being cut short by cancer. ” Three weeks after the surgery, Jennie received a car from the Red Cross representative who told her the transplant was successful. “I feel good, and I think it will actually work for her. ” She said, “So many people say that they'd only donate if it was for a family member or close friend. This woman was someone's family and someone's friend. Obviously no one she knows is a match, and the fact that you'd be able to help a perfect stranger is greater. ” 68. Jennie gave her bone marrow to ______. A. a close friend B. a stranger C. a classmate D. a relative 69. Before Jennie knew she was the best match, her feeling could be described as "______". A. frightened B. nervous C. calm D. excite 70. According to the last paragraph, Jennie would probably agree that ______. A. more people should donate their bone marrow B. there is no need to help a relative or close friend C. everyone should donate their bone marrow to a stranger D. a family member is more important than a close friend 71. The best title of this passage should be ______. A. A Great Woman B. To Save a Stranger C. My Good Friend D. Jennie's Life Blood E Anger is good for you, as long as you control it properly, according to a new psychology research. The new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier. “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger.” Said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon, “The more people show anger, the lower their stress responses.” Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every 13th number. Researchers interfered with（扰乱，妨碍）them by asking them to count faster or asking them other questions. If they made any mistake, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers described their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure and production of high-stress hormone. （荷尔蒙） People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, depression and weight gain. When people feel fear, negative effects increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening situation, Lerner said. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear. 72. The passage mainly wants to tell us . A. people should be angry all the time B. anger does no harm to people C. what the effects of anger are D. anger can be good for you 73. In the test given by Lerner, if the students made mistakes, they were asked to . A. take the next test B. say out loud the number 13 C. count back from 6,200 again D. answer some other questions 74. From this passage we can infer that . A. if people often get angry they will probably have higher blood pressure B. higher blood pressure may have something to do with weight gain C. when people feel fear, they will probably have lower levels of the hormone D. those who have heart disease will surely suffer from depression 75. The underlined word “maddening” in the third paragraph probably means . A. very annoying B. rather difficult C. extremely dangerous D. quite different 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节．短文改错（10 分） Like most my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor 76. ______ sisters--in any other words, I am an only child.

Some people think it is necessary to do this in order to meet the needs of China’s reform and opening up and the international developing trend. While on the other hand, some people think it’s not necessary to learn English because English is only learnt for passing examinations. Most people don’t use English at all after they graduate. In my opinion, we must strengthen English teaching. First, we can communicate with foreigners more easily if we learn English well. Second, only through English can we get a chance to learn the advanced science and technology from foreign countries. 2008/2009 学年度(下)高二期末考试 英 语 试 卷(选修 8) Jun.10, 2009 命题教师：樊华 第一卷 （共 85 分） Ⅰ 听力 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A B C 三个选项中选出最佳选 项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅 读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like ‘ I was wrong about that.’and it is even harder to say “ I was wrong ,but you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（纸板盒）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely(模糊地) the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it looked as though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. 56. How old was the author when he wrote this article? A. About 8 B. About 18. C. About 23. D. About 15 57. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager. B. The author was severely criticized by the manager. C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons. D. It was the author who put the display back together. 58. The tone of the article expressed the author’s _________. A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation.(指责，谴责) C. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons D. regret for the mistake he made in the store. B One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from raising a family in a foreign country is that the generation gap is sometimes just a matter of language. I am an American living with six children in Israel. Our children speak Hebrew, Arabic. I can speak a bit of Hebrew and a little Arabic. The gap between us, therefore, is not a matter of age, sports heroes, or musical tastes. It is simply my lack of ability to master languages that they picked up in no time. To our kids, I will forever be the foreigner, the greenhorn. I remember one of my most amusing mistakes that I made one bright and early school-day morning. A school friend had slept over, and everyone was eating breakfast, I cheerfully asked the boy what I could give him for his lunch. “What about some fruit?”I asked. “ How about some rocks with your lunch?” “ Mommy!”The kids all shouted in horror. “ Mommmmmmy! I had wanted to say “anavim”, which are grapes( 葡 萄 ) in Hebrew. Instead I said “avanim” -----plain, ordinary rocks. To this day, my children remind me again and again of the countless mistakes I made. At a school meeting, I told the father of one of their friends that I’d sat on top of his wife the day before, when I meant to say that I’d sat next to her. Languages always provide opportunities for foreign speakers to please natives. I find my language mistakes entertaining at times, and they’ve never stopped me from trying to make conversation. On a family outing the other day, we stopped to buy fresh pita from an Arab woman. I spoke to the woman in a mixture of Arabic and Hebrew and then we stood with her, eating the warm freshly baked pita. After we finished, I called out, “Shookran”-“thank you,” in Arabic--- and we drove away. “That was fun.”said my 16-year-old son，Ari. “And she gave me extra pita for free!” my 14-year-old daughter, Amalia, said. “ Why do you think she did that?” “Because we were friendly and made an effort to talk to her,” I said. For once, my kids did not even point out any of the errors I had made as I spoke to the woman. 59. The kids shouted when their mother used the word “avanim” because ______. A. they always regarded their mother as a foreigner B. she misused the word for a kind of fruit as the one for rocks C. their mother only gave grapes to one child D. one of the kids got up late 60. Why didn’t the kids point out their mother’s mistakes while she spoke with an Arab woman? A. Their mother’s conversation with the Arab woman brought a good result. B. They used to their mother’s language errors. C. They were moved by the Arab woman. D. They were pleased with the delicious meal. 61. What would be the best title of this passage? A. How to Learn Foreign Languages B. How to Live Abroad C. Sometimes It’s just Words D. My Boring Children C Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “ You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “ not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 62. The passage is meant to _______. A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame D. encourage young people to be after a writer career 63. What can be concluded from the passage? Ａ.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. B. Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.(隔离) D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small. 64. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book. B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better. C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. D. He found his dream would never come true. 65. The underlined words＂．．．people who die wondering, “What if?” refer to “those ___” A. who think too much of the dark side of life B. who regret giving up their career halfway C. who think a lot without making a decision D. who are full of imagination even upon death 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，选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Only a few weeks ago, they were waiting for their exam results.

Was she just acting and happy or should I smooth away my past misunderstanding ? 作文范文 Dear Ann, I’m sorry to hear that you have suffered from sleeping problems recently due to the study pressure. The following methods may help you have a sound sleep. First, have a relaxing walk for 10-20 minutes before sleep. Second, you’re advised to comb your hair before going to bed,which can eliminate your tiredness and help you fall asleep quickly. Last but not least, it’s helpful to drink a cup of milk one hour before you go to bed. As for my personal experience,I think you’d better stop studying at least half an hour before sleep or else you will be in a nervous state when sleeping. Besides, I strongly recommend you to listen to some soft music before sleep if possible. May you have a sound sleep every day! Yours, Li Hua
