（A）

In 1608an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy．He liked the country and noted down every interesting thing he found．But there was one thing which he found more interesting than the others．In his diary Thomas wrote，“When the Italians eat meat，they use small forks．They do not eat with hands because，as they say，people do not always have clean hands．”

Before leaving for England，Thomas Coryate bought a few forks．

At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends．When the servants brought the steak，he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy．

Everybody looked at him in surprise．When he told his friends what it was，they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing．All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient．

Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite．He said it was not nice to eat meat with one's fingers because they were not always clean．

Everybody got angry at that．Did Mr Coryate think that people in England always had dirty hands？And weren't the ten fingers we had enough for us？

Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork．But the first piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor．His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away．

Only fifty years later did people in England begin to use forks．

21．Why did Thomas Coryate bring forks to England？

A．He wanted to make his friends surprised．

B．He believed it was not nice to eat meat with fingers．

C．Forks were beautiful．

D．He wanted to make business selling forks．

22．Why did everybody look at Thomas when he began to eat like the Italians？

A．They believed that was bad manners．

B．Nobody ate meat with hands in England．

C．Everybody thought it was an amazing invention．

D．Nobody had seen a fork before．

23．Why did the first piece of meat fall to the floor when Thomas took it with the fork？A．The fork was very inconvenient to use．

B．The fork was bad．

C．Thomas was not used to eating with a fork．

D．The steak was too tough．

（B）

Every year more and more plants and animals disappear never to be seen again．Strangely，it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is causing most of the problems — man．Nature is very carefully balanced and if this balance is disturbed，animals can disappear

alarmingly（令人担忧地）fast．Every day，thousands of species of animals draw closer to extinction．There are countless numbers of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered．

In many lakes the fish are dying．Fishermen are worried because every year there are fewer fish and some lakes have no fish at all．Scientists are beginning to get worried too．What is killing the fish？

The problem is acid rain．Acid rain isa kind of air pollution．It is caused by factories that burn coal or oil or gas．These factories send smoke high into the air．The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories．Some of the harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of miles away．

The rain in many places isn't natural and clean any more．It's full of acid chemicals．When it falls in lakes，it changes them too．The lakes become more acidic．Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice．It hurts when it gets in your eyes．It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water．That is why the fish are dying in lakes．

But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem．Scientists are finding other effects of acid rain．In some large areas trees are dying．Not just one tree here and there，but whole forests．At first scientists couldn't understand why．There were no bugs or diseases in thesetrees．The weather was not dry．But now they think that the rain was the cause．Acid rain is making the earth more acidic in these areas．Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very acidic．

Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger animals．For example，they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy because of acid rain．If deer are hurt by the rain，what about people？This is the question many people are beginning to ask．No one knows the answer yet．But it is an important question for us all．

24．Every year thousands of species of animals _______ ．A．are hunted for their meat and skins

B．migrate to other places

C．starve to death

D．die out

25．Acid rain is caused by _______ ．

A．natural gas

B．the ozone（臭氧）layer depletion（损耗）

C．acidic lake water

D．emissions of industrial enterprises

26．Which of the following is true？

A．Dead fish in lakes is the only problem caused by acid rain．

B．Scientists are sure that acid rain is not harmful for mankind．

C．If we don't make an attempt to stop acid rain we may never see some animals again．

D．There's no reason to worry about several trees that died of some unknown disease．

27．What is not mentioned in the text？

A．Acid rain is capable of dissolving（分解）some rocks and stones．

B．Fish are unable to live in the water containing acidic chemicals．

C．Coal，oil or gas form dangerous combinations after being burnt．

D．Scientists think that if some larger animals can be affected by acid rain，people may be in great danger．

28．Factory smoke _______ ．

A．stays over the factories

B．is usually clean now C．turns into air

D．can travel hundreds of miles

29．Scientists think acid rain _______ ．

A．is killing people

B．helps kill bugs

C．fertilizes the soil

D．is killing trees

30．The word bug in this context means _______ ．

A．an infectuous disease

C．a dangerous bird

D．a small plant

34．Who will also receive this letter？

（D）

Everyone worries about their health．For some it's about losing a bit of weight，others that they'll inherit（遗传得到）diseases which afflicted（使……苦恼）their parents．But what if someone told you in just two short months you could be feeling on top of the world？That's exactly what Andrew Weil has to say in his latest book，8Weeks to Optimum Health．Weil—a doctor and bestselling author of Spontaneous Healing—believes we can all be optimistic（乐观）about the functioning of the body's natural healing system，not just on a day-to-day basis but also in responding to everyday illnesses and more serious medical conditions．He has drawn up a programme which makes simple changes to our lifestyle in terms of diet，exercise，supplements and mental and spiritual development，inturn prompting“long-lasting and dramatically beneficial effects for our health”．Of course，everyone is different so Weil also provides specific guidance for men and women，pregnant women， people under 20，over 50and over 70，those who are overweight，people at risk from

cardiovascular（心脏血管的）disease and cancer and those who have young children．There are even sections devoted to the health of those who live in big cities and who travel frequently．

So how does it work？Weil says it has much to do with the body's own healing system．“Health is wholeness and balance，an inner resilience（恢复力）that allows you to meet the demands of living without being overwhelmed．If you have that kind of resilience，you can experience the inevitable interactions with germs and not get infections，you can be in contact with allergens （过敏原）and not suffer allergies and you can sustain exposure to carcinogens（致癌物质）and not get cancer．”

Week one begins with a general cupboard clearance—out must go all unhealthy foods like oils and artificial sweeteners—and an introduction to vitamin C，walking and eating more broccoli （椰菜）—a nutrient and fibre-rich vegetable．Breath observation—pay attention to your breathing patterns—also starts now．

As the weeks progress，so Weil steps up the demands．Week two calls for an increase in your consumption of whole grains and an end to drinking chlorinated（经过氯处理的）water．He also suggests attempting a one-day“news-fast”． With each week comes the adoption of new supplements and fresh dietary habits．Exercise is increased and more mental and spiritual tasks are set．Alongside each chapter he includes true stories of those“healed”by the plan，plus various healthy recipes．But he warns：“Perfect health is not possible—beware of persons and products that promise it．Health is not static（静态的）：it is normal to lose it periodically in order to come back to it in a better way．”

Weil says the eight-week programme gives users the information needed to keep their healing system in working order．“It shows you how to build a lifestyle that will protect you from premature （过早的）disability and death and it teaches practices and skills that will enable you to prepare body，mind and spirit for any eventual health crisis you may face．Start it now and reap the benefits for the rest of your life．”

35．People are concerned about _______ ．

36．Dr Weil believes that everyone should _______ ．

37．Dr Weil believes that everyone can _______ ．

38．Following Dr Weil's methods over the weeks _______ ．

39．Dr Weil's programme will be effective if you _______ ．

40．What have we learned from the passage？

（E）

On a cold winter night，I know that there are lots of reasons to stay home and watch videos，but I love to go out to the movies．The films look better in the theater．The screen is so wide

that it seems to surround you．You really get the feeling that you are closer to the action．The costumes and the settings look so much more beautiful on the big screen．And，of course，because of the equipment and the acoustics（音响效果）in the theater，the sound is so much better，too．The special effects don't look or sound as good at home．Plus，I like seeing amovie with other people in the theater．The reaction of the crowd can intensify（增强）my feelings．I like noticing the parts of the movie people laugh at or cry over．I like listening to the reaction of people after the movie is over．I even like watching the previews and the special messages before the movie starts．The previews can be really funny，and they help me to decide whether I want to see the film when it comes out．Last，I love the popcorn．

Seeing a movie is a social event．I enjoy going out and making an evening out of it．If I'm with a friend，we'll go and have coffee either before or after the film．It's really my idea of a good date．If there's a film I especially like，I'll invite someone out and see it again．If the film is very moving or extremely well done，I might go back two or three times．If I'm alone，I usually go during the week when the ticket price is lower．On the weekend，the tickets are more expensive and the lines are very long．I like going with friends to theaters．You can see some of the old classics or movies by a well-known director．The theater gives a special student rate，so we don't have to pay much to go．In some cities，there are film festivals that show new and experimental films．At the festival，there are a lot of people who come to see these films．There is often a lot of excitement at these events．41．What do people usually do on a cold winter night？

42．Why is the sound better at the movies？

43．How does seeing special effects at the movies compare to seeing them at home？

I sat and waited in silence．I saw the stranger look at me．（71）But as soon as he saw that I had noticed him，he looked away quickly．After I had waited for about ten minutes，the maid returned with one fried egg and two very small pieces of ham．I sat down and ate the very poor meal in silence．

When I finished eating，I suddenly realized how cold I felt．It was a rather cold night．（72）The people in Algeciras have long hot summers and they forget how cold it can be in the few short weeks of winter．In these weeks it can be very cold at night．I moved my chair towards the fire where the stranger was sitting．He was sitting huddled over the very small fire．The fire was hardly big enough to give warmth to two people， but as soon as I moved my chair towards the fire，the stranger moved his chair to one side．

“Don't move，”I said．“There's plenty of room for two．”

I took out a cigar and lit it．（73）Then I turned to the stranger and gave him a cigar．They were very good cigars and people did not often refuse one．

“That's very good of you，”the stranger said and took the cigar from my hand．

（74）From the way he spoke，I realized that he had been born in Glasgow．A person from Glasgow speaks in a kind of singing way．

When you give someone a cigar，it is usually an invitation to talk．But apart from these few words of thanks，the stranger said nothing．He huddled over his half of the fire and returned to his thoughts．

I tried to start a conversation about the weather but he simply answered“yes”or“no”．（75）I stopped speaking to him and tried to get as warm as possible before I went to bed for the night．

2013-2014高二英语期末考试试题

哈尔哈四十中学2013-2014学年度下学期期末考试 高二学年英语学科文理共卷试题 卷面分值：150分答题时间：120分钟 命题人：许冰洁蔡平平姚瑛审核：许冰洁 一. 阅读理解(共两小节,共40分) 第一节(共15题, 每题2分, 共30分) A Do dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 1. From paragraph 2 we know that __ . A. animals are as clever as human beings B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children 2. Both experiments show that . A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right B. Rico can recognize different things including toys C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities. B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands. 4. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog. C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog. B NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible 班级姓名
