I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!　　Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.　　Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.　　Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.56. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.　　A. to get close to a butterfly　　B. to escape a sudden attack　　C. to look over the bad situation　　D. to avoid getting his shoes dirty57. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.   A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurt   B. paused until the author took a step backwards   C. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mate   D. attacked the author for his mate’s safety and to accompany her for the last moments of       life58. From this experience the man learned_____.　　A. butterflies are brave insects　　B. the small can defeat the large 　　C. how to deal with challenges in his life　　D. people should try their best to fight for everything59. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?　　A. caring     B. ambitious     C. courageous       D. aggressive B       A victim of climate change A polar bear's dead body found on the Arctic island of Svalbard, the northernmost part of Norway, has shocked experts who say climate change may be to blame for the death. The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good bones by the time a group of explorers came across its body in July．The bear is thought to have been heading north in a desperate search for sea ice that would allow it to hunt for seals．"From his lying position in death, the bear appears to simply have starved to death in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined and labeled it． However, the animal was reduced to skin and bones and died where he dropped," polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling, a professor at the University of Alberta said, "He had external suggestion of any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone．"Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals．That may also explain why the 16-year-old male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April．Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that pointed to continued signs of climate change．The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently classifies polar bears as vulnerable on its Red List of Threatened Species．60.How did Stirling know the reason for the death of the polar bear? A．By the food he ate．                B．By doing further experiments． C．By observing other polar bears．     D．By his lying position in death．61.The underlined word "vulnerable" probably means _____． A．easily hurt        B．difficult to hunt  C．dangerous        D．amazing62.What is the author's attitude to the incident? A．Favorable．        B．Uncaring．           C．Doubtful．        D．Concerned．63.Where does this text probably come from? A．A novel．          B． A guidebook．        C．A news report．   D．An advertisement．C    There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.    By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts (路标)or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles(阻碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.    In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential(基本的) to our ability to grow.     These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal(内部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease（停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.64．A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______..  A．he has given up his smoking habit   B．he has made great efforts in his work          C．he is interested in making anything new     D．he has tried to determine where he is on his journey65．In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______.  A．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements  B．succeed in climbing up the social ladder  C．face difficulties and take up challenges   D．aim high and reach his goal each time66．When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to _____.   A．a new way of taking risks            B．a new approach to experiencing the world    C．a new system of adapting to change    D．a new method of finding ourselves67．For personal growth, the author may not support __________.       .  A．curiosity and more chances             B．being quick in self – adaptation  C．open – minded to new experiences       D．avoidance of internal fears and doubts D    It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating — a dozen long-stemmed red roses.    As I was cleaning my office,  I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband — a prisoner in a nearby prison — was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.    A short time later, her husband arrived — with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.    At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.    I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy — the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.68. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. The writer was a newcomer to her office. B. A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present. C. She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas. D. She was at work with a light heart.69. The young woman came to the writer’s office for the purpose of         . A. having her baby examined     B. giving her husband a chance to make his escape C. having her husband examined D. getting a chance for her family to get together70.The underlined part in paragraph3 most probably means_____________.   A.to be sent to hospital           B.to be separated from his family.   C.to be comfortable             D.to become a prisoner.71.What does the writer learn from the story?   A.The wife experienced the most joy in receiving.   B.An act of kindness can mean a lot.   C.The prisoner was treated with mercy.   D.Whoever breaks the law should be punished.                                     EThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.     I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.     It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.     From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.     The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.     I looked forward to the return journey.72. The author expected the train trip to be _________.    A. adventurous            B. pleasant               C. exciting               D. dull73.What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?    A. The friendly country people.            B. The mountains along the way.    C. The crowds of people in the streets.     D. The simple lunch served on the train.74.Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph?    A. choose                       B. enjoy                 C. prepare for              D. carry on75.What can we learn from the story?    A. Comfort in traveling by train.    B. Pleasure of living in the country.C. Reading gives people delight.     D. Smiles brighten people up.  第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（35分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节 任务型读写 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。     There is a kind of shopping that is called compulsive（强迫性的） shopping. Compulsive shopping is usually described as out of control and not reasonable.How can we know whether we are one of compulsive shoppers? Compulsive shoppers go out and buy things much more often than other people do.They often buy things they do not need.Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble.While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing，compulsive shoppers will have no awareness of the boundaries of a budget.They also often hide the things they have bought in order not to be blamed by other family members.They often refuse to admit their problem and cover up their debts with cheat.Compulsive shopping usually occurs when a person feels sad，lonely or angry. Shopping will not guarantee more love，or cure the hurts，regrets，stress，and the problems of everyday life. Just the opposite, it eventually may make these feelings worse because of the increased financial problems the person has got from this addiction. Some families even lead to a divorce as compulsive shoppers spend a lot of time away from home.Treating a shopping addiction requires various approaches.The best thing to start with is to recognize the problem by compulsive shoppers themselves. First of all，don’t use their credit cards，and instead， start paying by cash. It might be useful to make a shopping list in order to buy strictly what is needed.And if there is a chance to get attracted, it might help to have just some small money and leave the wallet at home.It is also good to ask family and friends for support.And if after all these people still feel out of control，then it is recommended to seek professional advice or a self­help group to deal with this problem.     Title              Compulsive shopping       76          Uncontrollable and unreasonable shopping.  Features of     compulsive     shoppers ●Going shopping more often and buying  77   things.●Spending over their budget limits without being  78  of the boundaries of a budget.●Keeping what they have bought 79   to avoid being blamed.●Denying their problem and  80   to cover up their debts.Possible harmful   81   ●  82   people's feelings worse because of the increased financial problems.●Causing a divorce.__83__ ● Recognizing the problem and __84_ using their credit cards.●Making a shopping list.●Taking along just some small money.●Asking family and friends for support.●Seeking  85   advice or a self­help group.第二节.书面表达(满分25分)  最近我们发现，虽然学校反复强调考试诚信的重要性，但是仍然有不少的同学在月考中作弊，这对学生今后的学习有很大的危害。 作弊原因：1. 分数太低会很没面子，也可能会让家长老师失望。       2. 有时候老师不是很严格，使得我们有机会可以抄袭       3. 本不想抄袭，但是控制不住自己。作弊坏处：1. 严重影响了考试的公平性。       2. 作弊让分数来的非常容易，这会让人变得懒惰。从而让班级的学习氛围变差。你认为能改进的建议有那些（提一两条建议）。参考词汇：   强调：stress            月考：monthly exam ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________             2013--2014学年度五河县高考辅导学校第二次月考                   英 语 试 题  参考答案第一部分：听力 、第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节:单项填空 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节.任务型读写76.Description  77.unnecessary   78.aware    79.hidden   80.cheating81.effects      82.Making    38.Treatments  84.avoiding  85. professional第二节:书面表达  第二节:完形填空 36-40 ACBBA   41-45 DDBAD   46-50 CBDCA   51-55 CDCBA   作者通过讲述在商店里帮助一位穷顾客的故事，说明了两个道理：第一，做人应该有一副热心肠；第二，人无论贫富，都是平等的，都应享受同等的权利和地位。 36.A。根据第三段中she purchased the item可知，她买的这件商品本来是为女儿买的。37.C。根据下文“exchange the item for something else”，应该是他的女儿已经有了类似的东西。如果选A项的话，要将“a”改成“the”。38.B。因为女儿已经有了类似的东西，所以这位妇女想换一件另外的商品。 manage to do是“成功做了某事”的意思。39.B。根据下一段的内容可知，调换商品需要有ID卡（商家发放的一种顾客身份标识卡）才可以，否则无法调换。  40.A。作者决定帮助这位妇女，于是和她一起走到商店的柜台处。41.D。根据全文语境可以看出，这位黑人妇女在商店受到了不公正的待遇，被拒绝调换商品。售货员看到她找到作者帮助，十分不礼貌地指责她不应该随便找个人来帮忙。42.D。参见41、43题的解析。43.B。这位妇女并不认识作者，找到她属于随机行为。因此售货员的话符合事实。 44.A。售货员所指责的情况属实，但作者不明白随便找个人来帮忙就有那么值得关注吗（有什么值得如此大惊小怪的呢）。matter意为“关系重大”。45.D。毕竟不是所有的人都有机会获得到ID卡的。 46.C。根据下文“then went on to say the woman could not   47   she purchased the item.”说明经理要设置退换商品的门槛。经理解释说即使有了ID卡，如果没有收据的话，也是没有办法退换商品的。47.B。接着上面的话，经理顺水推舟说这位妇女不能证明该商品是在他这里买的。48.D。经理的这种无赖的行为激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的经历为例来进行反驳：如果我，一位白人女性，到这里要求换货，没有收据，照样我是不会被（你们）拒绝的。因为我有过去的经历为证。  49.C。参见48题的解析。50.A。从语境可知，经理意识到自己的言行失当，因此同意换商品。  51.C。根据句中but后面的内容可知，作者在妇女请求帮助时，一开始也犹豫过。52.D。但她很快地调整心态，扪心自问：“为什么不帮她，我有不帮她的正当理由吗？” 53.C。参见52题的解析。54.B。从下文可知，这位妇女看起来非常穷。售货员和经理的无礼行为可能与此有关。作者想要表达的是，我们不应该以貌取人（不能通过书的封皮确定一本书的质量）。 55.A。人虽然穷，但有资格和别人享受同等的待遇。
