高一英语下学期期末考试试卷题
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
All over the country many of our native species are in great decline. But many farmers are working hard to restore and increase natural habitats to help bring the wildlife back.
Creating new habitats for wildlife in Wales
Farmer Chris James takes a sustainable(可持续的) approach to farming at Gupton Farm in Wales. Chris has applied a technique called precision farming to the more productive land. This uses detailed analysis of nutrient (营养物质)levels in the soil to target fertilizer more carefully. This means he uses fewer chemicals, which is better for water quality.
Good food and wildlife in Gloucestershire
Jonty and Mel Brunyee believe that good food, native livestock(家畜) and wildlife conservation go hand-in-hand. The couple work at Conygree Farm in Gloucestershire. Their aim is to develop an organic and sustainable farming system that improves soil quality, restores key habitats and builds links with the wider community through education work.
Farming for nature in Yorkshire
Nature is very important to Neil and Leigh Heseltine. The couple are the fourth generation at Hill Top Farm in Yorkshire. They’ve used sustainable ways of farming to protect the area’s scenery. In 2015 they re-introduced Belted Galloway cattle. This helps support the upland ecosystem(生态系统) by making space for native species to develop.
The importance of making space for nature in Sussex
Working with nature to produce high quality meat is the goal for Paul and Madeleine Crawley at Courthill Farm in Sussex. To do this, they are making sure there are areas of wild flowers. These provide food and protection for insects, birds and animals.
1. What benefit can precision farming bring?
A. Protecting water quality.
B. Stopping using fertilizers.
C. Increasing crop production.

Saber Miresmailli was on vacation in London when, caught in a bit of traffic on London Bridge, he decided to take a photo of Tower Bridge.
"I noticed the couple," he said. "At that moment, I did not see anyone from the wedding party or a photographer with the couple, so I took several pictures. Usually, my pictures are not very good given the fact that I don’t use flash and I don’t stop to compose (构图)—so when I got back after two weeks, I was very surprised to find this one turned out so well."
Miresmailli said, "I thought to myself, if it was me getting married, I would have wanted the picture."
So he posted the photo on Facebook and attached a few friends with the hope of finding the couple and passing them the picture. What happened next, he said, "was crazy".
"I received more than 2,000 requests from perfect strangers and lots of positive and negative emails." Until this afternoon, almost 230,000 people had shared his Facebook post on the photo.
There’s also been an uncertain identification of the couple. It’s likely that their names are Laura and James. "If it’s the right couple," Miresmailli said, "they are on their honeymoon in Bali and have no idea about the photo. I believe they will be shocked to find out about their fame."
Miresmailli said he’s been drowned by the interest in the photo.
"I just want to give them their picture and go back to work and tend my tomatoes," he said.
4. Saber Miresmailli is seeking for a couple who ___________.
A. held the wedding party in Bali
B. were looking for their wedding pictures
C. were taken a photo by him without knowing it
D. became famous for their honeymoon experience
5. Why are Miresmailli’s photos usually not satisfactory?
A. They are not developed in time.
B. He is not good at finding views.
C. He doesn’t take enough pictures.
D. He doesn’t care much about photograph skills.
6. What is the right order of the whole story?
a. received requests and emails
b. posted the photo on Facebook
c. noticed a couple
d. took a photo
e. was caught in traffic
f. attached some friends
A. e, d, c, b, a, f B. e, c, d, b, f, a
C. c, d, e, b, f, a D. c, e, d, b, a, f
7. Miresmailli said the words in the last paragraph with a sense of ___________.
A. pride B. duty C. appreciation D. humour
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了Saber Miresmailli无意中拍到了一对新婚夫妇的照片，然后想把照片送给那对夫妇而将照片发到了Facebook社交网站上，引起很多人关注的故事。
6. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章中叙事的顺序可知，作者先是被困在交通堵塞中，然后注意到一对新婚夫妇，于是就拍了他们的照片，作者觉得他们需要照片，就把照片贴在了"脸书"当中，并且联系了一些朋友，最终收到了很多请求得到照片的电子邮件，所以B项正确。
7. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中"tend my tomatoes"可知作者以幽默的语气在说这些话，故答案为D项。
C
You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, VR means simulating(模拟) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airlines pilots and doctors and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules. Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of VR and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired(用线连接) into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What makes VR different from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors(传感器) that find out how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been generally used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the army for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a jump from an airplane, or carrying out a brain operation? All these things are obvious applications of VR.
Like any technology, VR has both good and bad points. Critics always warn that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been aimed at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
8. According to the passage, which of the following is a kind of virtual reality?
A. Flying high in the sky in your dream.
B. Traveling in space by spaceship in a lab.
C. Working out a math problem by yourself.
D. Practicing swimming in a pool.
9. What equipment does virtual reality use for input?
A. A keyboard. B. A speaker. C. A screen. D. Sensors.
10. TV is mentioned in the last paragraph to _____________.
A. prove everything has good and bad points
B. show the difference between virtual reality and other technologies
C. advise us to make use of virtual reality
D. warn people not to be addicted to alternative realities
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The importance of virtual reality.
B. The difference between real reality and virtual reality.
C. The principles and applications of virtual reality.
D. The equipment needed for virtual reality.
【答案】
【语篇导读】文章介绍了虚拟现实的相关信息。
8. B 【解析】推理判断题。由第一段中的"But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, VR means simulating(模拟) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airlines pilots and doctors and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules."可知，虚拟现实是对真实世界的一种模拟，可以用于训练飞行员和医生，还可以帮助科学家弄明白如蛋白质分子结构等复杂的难题，故B选项正确。
10. A 【解析】目的意图题。由最后一段中的"Critics always warn that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been aimed at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet."可知，批评者们认为虚拟现实可能会使人们忽略真实的生活，但是，实际上，不管是电视、收音机、网络游戏，还是网络，都曾经受到过批评。由此可知，作者提到电视等事物，只是想证明虚拟现实这种事物和电视一样，都是既有优点又有缺点，都会受到某些人的批评。故A选项正确。
11. C 【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了VR的概念，并提出问题"Then how does it work?"，下文对这一问题作了回答，故文章主要介绍的是VR的原理和应用。故C选项正确。
D

30. D 考查介词。由语境可知，那个乞丐亲吻作者的脸颊，故D选项切题。

【答案】
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了开车上班与中年发福有关
44. protects 考查动词的时态。本句话叙述的是锻炼的作用，应该用一般现在时态，从句主语exercise是第三人称单数，故填protects。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Slang (俚语) is very informal language which is often used by young people. It’s hard to keep up to date with it as new words and phrases appear and develop. Living in a multicultural society has an effect on language, especially on the young, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have a big influence. A complete list of slang is difficult to make. By the time it is finished, the list will be out of date. However, here are a few examples:
“Safe”, “ sorted”, “ sound” or “cool” all means “That’s good” or “I understand”.
Instead of using different tag questions (附加疑问句) like “… isn’t it?”, “… can’t you?” or “…don’t they?”, people use “innit”. For example, “He can dance really well, innit?” (=He can dance really well, can’t he?) or “They always say that, innit?” (=They always say that, don’t they?)
Instead of saying “very”, “really” or “completely”, people use “well”. For example, “I’m well tired.” or “You got it well wrong!”
“Whatever” means “I don’t care”. For example, A： “But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.” B: “Whatever. I’m going.”
“He’s fine” or “He’s fit” both means “He’s good-looking”. “Fine” and “fit” can describe a boy or a girl.
Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in the north of England recently told its pupils to stop using slang words such as “hiya” (hello), cheers” and “ta” (both mean “thank you”) if they want to get a place at university or a good job.
When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken around the world today is between non-native speakers of the language.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t see much slang in your English examination, though.
21. Why is it hard to make a complete list of slang?
A. Many slang words are outdated.
B. It is mostly used by young people.
C. Modem slang changes very quickly. ,
D. It is from different cultural backgrounds.
22. Which of the following means “I understand”?
A. Sorted. B. Innit. C. Whatever. D. Cheers.
23. What can be inferred about slang from the text?
A. It prevents language from developing.
B. It is also spread through TV and music.
C. It is more popular in the UK than in the US.
D. It has found its way into formal written English.
24. What can be concluded from the text?
A. Many UK schools are encouraging students to use slang.
B. It is possible for English learners to master some British slang.
C. Knowing little slang doesn’t greatly affect how one communicates.
D. More English is spoken by native speakers than by non-native speakers.
B
It’s a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. It’s a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.
In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination.
My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的) order.
It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone’s imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.
It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.
25. Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”?
A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.
B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.
C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.
D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one another’s performance.
26. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.
A. shy children B. a large audience
C. drama students D. the whole class
27. What do you know about the author according to the article?
A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.
B. He was a star student in the drama games.
C. He was shining in big performances each term.
D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.
28. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the article?
A. A few drama games for fun.
B. How to improve drama skills.
C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.
D. One of his favorite high school courses.
C
From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we’re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the areas that produce cacao — the plant from which chocolate is produced — may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分) loss, “ wrote Michon Scott, the essay’s author.
To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene (基因) editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world’s biggest companies of chocolate products, announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars helping reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
29. What will make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future?
A. The increasing heat. B. The higher humidity.
C. The moisture loss’ in the soil. D. The decrease in rainfall.
30. The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A. make up B. add up C. dry up D. use up
31. What will Mars do to help cacao survive?
A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.
B. It will use the gene editing technology to plant cacao.
C. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.
D. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.
32. What is this article mainly about?
A. Some new research and findings about growing cacao.
B. The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.
C. Problems cacao plants could face and the possible solutions.
D. The significance of working together to fight climate change.
D
British readers prefer fiction to any other type of book. Some authors are as successful today as when they were alive. Take Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities for example, which has sold 200 million copies since 1859. His books have been made into films, television series and even musicals. So why is he still so popular? Dickens was an expert in observing human beings — Ebenezer Scrooge in A
Christmas Carol or Miss Havisham from Great Expectations, for example. His characters are often based on real people. Like Dickens’ own father, Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield went to prison for debt. Dickens cared about poverty and injustice- think of the story of Oliver Twist. He also described London well, where he lived most of his life. There is a memorable description of fog at the beginning of Bleak House. Interestingly, Dickens wrote and published many of his novels in parts-people read a new chapter of the story every week.
Another master of language was JRR Tolkien. He was professor of Old English and used it for the names of his characters. He created a whole world from his study of Germanic mythology, first in The Hobbit and then in The Lord of the Rings trilogy (三部曲). You can see his influence in modem fantasy kooks and computer games.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about Sherlock Holmes are famous, but the most successful writer of crime novels was Agatha Christie. Her best-loved character was Hercule Poirot. Christie worked in n pharmacy (药房) for a time 一 this gave her a useful knowledge of poisons. Several books were set in the Middle East after she travelled there with her husband. She was good at creating suspense (悬念)- people always wanted to read more.
Dickens died in 1870. JRR Tolkien and Agatha Christie passed away in the 1970s. But Marley’s Ghost, Bilbo Baggins and Miss Marple live on.
33. Why has Dickens always been popular?
A. His novels are based on true stories.
B. His characters are familiar to readers.
C. He was an expert at creating suspense.
D. He described humans and society vividly.
34. Which will you probably choose if you are a fan of fantasy books?
A. Great Expectations. B. The Hobbit.
C. A Christmas Carol. D. Bleak House.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Many famous writers live a long and healthy life.
B. Most character in literature share common features.
C. Many characters in literature can stand the lest of time.
D. Some authors become more successful after their death.

Dear Tony,
I’m so grateful for the birthday blessing and gift you sent to me.
As you know, it’s a challenge for me to learn English well, so I turned to you for help. You advised that I should read more and enlarge my vocabulary. While reading English stories, I came across some new words, so a dictionary was exactly what I needed. It was then that I received your gift, an English dictionary. What a timely help! Encouragingly, I have made some progress in a recent exam. I’ll go on working hard and do better.
With the summer vacation approaching, I hope you can come to my city for a visit and we can have fun together.

W: No! The last time you borrowed it, you returned it with the gas tank empty.
M: Did I? I’m sorry, baby. I promise to fill the tank this time.
W: What do you need it for?
M: I want to take my mom out to dinner.
W: And I’m not invited?
M: You can come if you want. I thought you’d probably have plans with your friends. (7)
W: I do. But I’d rather go with you. Don’t you think it’s time for me to meet your mother?
M: OK, sure. Just don’t expect her to love you right away. She never thinks any girl is good enough for me.

M: What’s up? Are you still studying?
W: Yeah, I’ll be at it all night.
M: When’s the big test?
W: Not for three days. But I have too many things to remember before then.
M: You’re taking this Spanish class so seriously. Don’t you think you should lighten up (放松，别紧张) a bit?
W: I can’t. Not only do I need to get good grades, but I also have to actually learn this stuff. Next year, I’m applying to a nursing program, and they give special financial help to students who speak two languages. (8)
M: Come on. You’ll do fine. You always do fine.
W: Only when I study hard.
M: OK. But can’t you take a little break? Hey, you should come get some fish with me. (9) You know, fish is actually very good for your brain.

M: How can I help you, ma’am?
W: I was hoping you could look at my car today. For the past few weeks, it has been making very strange noises.
M: What kinds of noises?
W: It sounds as if something is being damaged in the wheels. It only happens when I’m slowing down.
M: Whoa… It sounds like you need new brakes. (10) You’ll have to leave the car with us until tomorrow.
W: Gosh, I was thinking you’d be able to get it back to me this afternoon.
M: Unfortunately, we need to order the parts, and we can’t get started until they arrive. (11) If I order them now, they’ll be here this afternoon, or tomorrow morning at the latest.
W: I see. Well, why don’t I just bring my car back in the morning? There’s a show I really want to see downtown tonight.
M: I don’t think that’s a good idea. You’re risking your life by driving this car. If I were you, I’d check the bus schedule. (12)

W: Hey, Paul. You’re still having Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Thursday, right? (13)
M: Yeah. Thanks again for the invitation. I was worried I’d have to spend it alone after my parents announced they’d be in Finland.
W: I think it’s strange that you’re not going with them. Is it because of the cold weather in Northern Europe? (14)
M: Not exactly. I have a lot of work to do next week. (14)
W: Well, I’m glad you won’t be alone on a holiday. It’ll be great to have you celebrate with us. The more the merrier!
M: Exactly. How many people will be there?
W: Let’s see…my parents, my grandpa, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, and my two cousins…plus us. (15) So, ten people altogether.
M: Should I bring anything?
W: Nope. We’ve got it covered.
M: Come on. I hate to show up empty-handed. You are being so generous to have me. I know! I’ll bring pie. I’ll make a great pumpkin pie.
W: Sounds delicious, but my sister has already volunteered for dessert. Look, don’t worry about it. There will be tons of food: turkey, stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes…
M: Wow, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. How about this — I’ll bring a nice bottle of wine. (16) You can never have too much of that.
W: Well, isn’t that the truth? Sounds good to me. (16)

Although her name makes most people think of food and home decorating, Martha Stewart is an extremely successful American businesswoman whose talents have made her famous and rich. As a child, she was taught how to cook and sew by her mother, and how to garden by her father. As a teenager, she gained experience in event planning by organizing birthday parties for younger kids. However, it was not until she was thirty-five years old that she opened her own small business. The business was a food service company that prepared food for local parties and events. (17) A few years later, she published a cookbook featuring these recipes. The cookbook was a huge success, which led to her making television appearances. (18) Soon, Martha Stewart was a household name, and she eventually established a much larger company called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
In 2002, Stewart got herself into trouble, and she was sentenced to five months in prison. (19) Some thought that this would ruin her career, but they were wrong. Since her release from prison in 2005, she has been remarkably successful. Her projects have included more cookbooks and television shows, and she has also developed and sold her own lines of home furniture, carpets, food, and wines. (20)

A
Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.
In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木)to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.
At last -- she never knew how long it had taken her- - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.
She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.
The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.
21. What did Kate decide to do?
A. Stop the express train. B. Check the signal light.
C. Meet the passengers. D. Visit the station-master
22. Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey?
A. Fruitless. B. Boring.
C. Well-planned. D. Risky.
23. Why did the station-master turn pale?
A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.
C. He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.

Mike Hayes of Rochelle, Illinois, proved he was smart in his first year at college. In 1987, while he was a student in the first year of the University of Illinois, he had gotten $2, 500 from a job working at a store, but that money would not go far to pay the four years of tuition(学费)and college expenses that added up to around $28,000. His middle-class family had already put his older brothers through college. While Mike’s parents would have helped him to pay, Mike decided he did not want his parents going into debt(债务)for him. He came up with an idea to solve this problem. [来源:学+科+网]
Mike wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene. He wanted each of the newspaper’s readers to send him a penny (分). Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it. He shared Mike’ s letter with his readers on September 6, 1987.
“Just one penny,” Mike said.“A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone. If everyone who is reading your reports looks around the room right now, there will be a penny on the corner of the desk, or on the floor. That’s all I’m asking. A penny from each of your readers.”
In less than a month, the Many Pennies for Mike fund(基金)had around $ 23，000 . Donations
(捐款) were received from every state in the United States, and even Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas. So, Mike achieved his $ 28,000 goal and went on to learn food science from the University of Illinois.
In the end, Mike had this to say about the whole thing, "I just want to express my thanks to everyone... right now I’m feeling that the world is a pretty great place.”
24. What troubled Mike when he was in his first year at college?
A. He couldn’ t afford his tuition. B. He failed to find a part-time job.
C. His parents were unwilling to help. D. His parents had huge debts to pay off.
25. Why did Mike write to Greene?
A. To ask for help. B. To send his greetings.
C. To express his thanks. D. To introduce himself.
26. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Mike?
A. His fund needed more donations. B. He became rich and successful.
C. His plan really worked. D. He asked for too much.
27. What's the best title for the text?

Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You are becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.
The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure(结构)of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations(目的地).

You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.
This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them ifyou think they’re us eful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.[

Canada, the second biggest country in the world, has an area of about ten million square km, covering most of the northern part of the North American continent and with an area larger than that of the United States. Canada lies to the southwest of Greenland. To the south, it reaches to the same latitude(纬度) as southern France. The distance from the Pacific coast in the west to the Atlantic in the east is greater than that from North America to Europe. But in spite of(不顾,不管)its size, two-thirds of the population of Canada live in a narrow belt of land no more than 200 km from the U.S. border. In the east are the Great Lakes that lie on the border with the United States. These huge inland seas empty into the St Lawrence River, which links them with the Atlantic Ocean. The centre of government and finance(金融,财政) is in Ontario(安大略). So are many of Canada’s industries.
Canada is a country of ten provinces and three territories(地方). The first inhabitants(居民) of Canada were North American Indians and Inuit. France and Britain each governed Canada in the past. At that time the population of Canada was almost entirely the French, but in the next few decades(十年), thousands of British colonists emigrated(移民) to Canada from the British Isles and from the American colonies. In 1849, the right of Canada to self-government was recognized. Today, 18 percent of Canadians still speak only French.
Canada is often called “A Land of the Future”. The country’s rich oil and mineral resources have hardly been touched. It is among the ten leading industrial nations of the world. Its capital is Ottawa and the largest city is Toronto. Other important cities include Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The history of Canada B. The geography of Canada.
C. The industry of Canada. D. All of the above.
33. What does the underlined word “links” in the first paragraph mean?
A. connects B. starts C. collects D. begins
34. According to the passage, Canada’s industries are mainly located in .
A. Ottawa. B. Toronto C. Vancouver D. Ontario
35. Why is Canada called “A Land of the Future”?
A. Because it’s a developed country. B. Because its future is very wonderful.
C. Because its rich resources haven’t been developed. D. It’s not mentioned in the passage.

【答案】书面表达：
Always Be Grateful
As is known to all, it is one of the Chinese traditional virtues to be grateful to whoever has been kind and helpful to us.
In my opinion, our gratitude school first g o to our parents because they not only provide us food and clothing but also care for us in many ways. They are always willing to do whatever they can to ensure our happiness. Second, we should thank the teachers who are making every effort to give us wisdom and knowledge and help us become useful persons.
As the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” Therefore, we are supposed to devote ourselves to studying so that we can live up to their expectations. It’s also important to express our gratitude whenever we get help from them. In short, we should strengthen our sense of gratitude and take actions to repay their love and kindness.
