A
We considered a list of the best American books —but we’d need a whole issue to
do them justice. Here are 5 that helped define the national character. Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach and inspire American people.
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
First published in 1851, the book tells the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his continuous hunting for the white whale and draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.
The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1918, the book provides insight into Adams’ family, including his experience as a private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil War.
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whiteman
When Whiteman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to define the American experience— sing for the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.
Poems by Emily Dickinson
An enthusiastic poet whose works have had a considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickinson’s frequent use of dashes(破折号),sporadic(零星的)capitalization of nouns, and unusual metaphors(隐喻) has contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative poets of the 19th-century American literature.
The song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
First published in 1855, this is Longfellow’s most popular and most recognized poem, showing the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.
56. If you want to learn about a magic American Indian, you can choose ________.
A. Moby-Dick
B. Leaves of Grass
C. Poems

57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Of the five works, four are poems.
B. Walt Whiteman was an enthusiastic poet and singer.
C. The Education of Henry Adams is a non-fiction book.
D. Of the five books, Moby-Dick was published last.
B
When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself , completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said , “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes . The waitress said ,”Yes , the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you ,honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on ! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
58. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The kindness of strangers.
B. Valuable friendship .
C. Two special experiences .
D. Helping others is worthwhile
59. Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?
A. Because she didn’t like the dishes.
B. Because she quarreled with her friend
C. Because her friend only talked about himself.
D. Because she was sad for her last relationship.
60. The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.
A. being hurt by the wall
B. winning the game
C. taking a deep breath
D. running out of energy
C
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
61. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?
A. Using too much packaging.
B. Recycling too many wastes.
C. Making more products than necessary.
D. Having more material than is needed.
62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A. the tendency of cutting household waste
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets
D. the fact of packaging overuse
63. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D. Other products are better packaged than food.
64. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecting recyclable waste.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
D
Changing technology stimulates(刺激) the brain and increase s intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?
After the Industrial Revolution, machines began to replace manual workers. The process played out in agriculture as well as manufacturing so that groups of agricultural workers were replaced and forced to move to cities to make a living.
When machines took away much of the manual work, people became less physically active and gained weight. The sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle contributed t o a worldwide spreading of overweight and related metabolic disorders such as heart disease, secondary diabetes and kidney disease .
As our bodies rested, our brains were forced to work harder, however. It is much more difficult to drive through an overcrowded modern city than it is to move around in
a small rural village, for instance. Modern jobs are also more complex and urgent and they require more education because employees need to process new information quickly. Even during our leisure time, our brains work harder due to greater availability of books and explosion of audiovisual media, for entertainment, study, music, news, and so forth.
Now in the Internet age, the amount of information grows fast along with the advance of electronic technologies. The number of people with whom we interact electronically grows by leaps and bounds thanks to the ease of use of social media like Facebook and Twitter.
All of this extra work for our brains makes us more intelligent. That helps explain why human intelligence increases steadily from generation to generation in all developed countries, a phenomenon named the Flynn Effect. Of course, there are other reasons, including improved nutrition, better medical practices that reduce brain damage, and improved sanitation and public health that reduce diseases of childhood. In the P.G Wodehouse novels, Bertie Wooster got away with being a fool because Jeeves was there to back him up with superior brain power. Similarly, people of the future are at risk of being less intelligent because machines will do their thinking for them.
Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. Moreover, the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.
Artificial intelligence exists in many fields of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes (天资) which were once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess or recalling details in a game of Jeopardy.
Machine intelligence is increasing much faster than human intelligence. As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. Instead of struggling to identify ourselves to some electronic system via passwords
that are secure only if they are hard to remember, the system will work harder to identify us using biometrics(生物测定学) such as fingerprints or even the individual sound of our hearts. More technologies of the future may also be voice-activated so that we will talk with machines much as we would talk to a friend.
In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point where it serves similar functions as a real living chief male servant of a house, fulfilling requests such as: “Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests .”
At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain—the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will return to an earlier or less advanced form.
The future is still in the fog.
65. According to the author, the Industrial Revolution led to ________.
A. the development of edu cation
B. the spread of diseases in the world
C. a lifestyle of being physically active
D. people’s physical and men tal problems
66. The Flynn Effect refers to the phenomenon that ________.
A. extra work can stimulate our brain
B. humans are becoming smarter and smarter
C. the change in human intelligence is steady
D. people in developed countries have higher intelligence
67. The writer gave the example of Bertie Wooster to tell us ________.
A.the possibility of human s' becoming less intelligent
B.the risk of machines ' destroying the world
C. the end of challenges people face in life
D. the powerful functions of technologies
68. Why is artificial intelligence popular in our life?
A. It can improve and update itself.
B. It can take advantage of humans.
C. It can do much better than humans.
D. It can deal with abstract
information.
69. We can infer from the passage that electronic systems ________.
A. will make trouble in our daily life
B. will function as the master of humans
C. will become more user-friendly in the future
D. will be deserted because of their inconvenience
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The future is bright due to artificial intelligence.
B .Will machines replace manual workers?
C. Humans will develop electronic assistants.
D. Can artificial intelligence make us stupid?

注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down
to study, a variety of other problems can appear.
Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends,
but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments should not be busywork, but should help them build a skill or learn something new.
You can offer help by stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.
Many kids refuse to study by as king why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.
Parents who feel that their kids have too much homework can talk about it with the teachers, but they’re in the minority. A 2007 survey showed that 15 percent of parents said their kids had too much homework. About 60 percent said the homework load was just right, and 25 percent thought their children had too little homework.
If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to determine whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly. One of the things homework is supposed to do is to teach time management.
If your child feels bored while doing homework, consider the following suggestions to make study sessions more enjoyable.
Get help from friends: if your children are struggling with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them. You might also invite neighborhood kids over and let them do homework together. Have them sit around the dining table and help each other.
Add physical activities: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for stretching, ju mping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.
Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a quiz on the things they have just learned.

以Our
Life
Rests
on Our
Choice
为题,用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things.
But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not
to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and
death disease— SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people
remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful
ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean
“SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide
in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected
disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically,
to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that
day.

Our Life Rests on Our Choice
Faced with disasters and adversities, some people choose to stay optimistic and determine to carry on regardless of the hardships. Life, to some extent, rests on our choice.
Life is full of ups and downs. When the time comes for us to make choices, we should
be aware of the importance of a positive attitude. A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship, which offers us the right direction.
As a teenager, it is of great significance to take a positive attitude towards life. To stay energetic, I will stick to an exercise schedule. I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others, becoming socially connected. All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man. Only by doing so can I fit in society more easily and stay motivated towards a better life.

W: Well, as long as it’s to me, I’ve got to have my own room, because I’ve been working at home most of the time, any other information?
M: Yes, it’s got a very big and well equipped kitchen, and I know you like cooking. So that’s another point in its favor, but there is a small sitting room, and not much furniture yet. So let me know quickly if you want it or it will be taken.

M: Hello, Barbara, welcome back. You look great.
W: Rod, it’s lovely to see you again.

M: And Florence, what did you think of Florence?
W: Well, I didn’t go there. Have you been there?
M: No, I’ve never been to Italy. I’d really like to go to Roma. Well, the cars are in the car park. Is this all your luggage?
W: Yes, but the suitcase is very heavy.
M: Barbara, what’s in it? Books or stones?
W: Just 20 pairs of shoes.

W: Yes, of course, just a minute. Now, let’s see, to Jack Cooper from Mike London. M: No, Landon, L-a-n-d-o-n.
W: Sorry, yes, got that, and what’s the message?
M: Well it’s just this: could he com e to a meeting on Monday afternoon at 5:00 pm? W: That’s this coming Monday, October 12th ?
M: Right, it’s to discuss the new factory in France.
W: Fine, I’ve got that. I will see that he gets it as soon as he comes in on Monday. M: Good, thank you, goodbye.
13-16
M: Now, Mrs. Franks, I just like to read your statement back to you, and then you can write your name on it.
W: Fine.
M: I was standing in front of the Second National Bank building at about 8:50 am, I saw a small red car heading for the cross roads of Churchill Avenue, and York Road, it was coming towards me along Churchill Avenue at about 40 miles per hour. The traffic lights on York Road changed to green, and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about 5 miles per hour. The driver of t he car probably didn’t see that his traffic light has changed from orange to red, and ran into the side of the lorry.
W: That’s correct.

高二英语期中考试试卷分析 一、试卷总体情况分析 本次期中考试试卷主要考查英语模块3所学内容,试卷总分150分。试题内容丰富,知识覆盖面广,题型较多,包括听力、完形填空、阅读理解、语法填空、短文改错和作文,和高考题型保持一致。考点知识既源于教材,又聚焦高考,全面考查了学生读、写等方面的能力。试卷以新课程理念为指导,既关注高考,又强调知识与能力并重。总体而言,试卷难度稍微偏大了点,下面以我校英语考试为抽样分析样本,对本次试卷做一个简要的分析。 二、学生各项题型得分情况及主要失分点分析 (一)试卷各大题得分情况统计(如下表): 从表中的数据看,阅读得分相对好一点,但也不是很理想,所以我们平时要重视基础知识;而完形填空、阅读理解这两项综合运用题的得分不高,高一学生语篇语境理解的能力较弱,综合运用能力差在
意料之中,虽然客观上这两项的难度的确大了些,但我们在教学中仍不可忽视这一点,即要在立足课本的同时,应重视学生的课外阅读。短文改错和作文得分一般,这提醒老师在教学中仍要加强课外阅读指导和训练,加强作文和短文改错的训练。 (二)各大题主要失分点及其原因分析: 第一部分:听力 听力既与学生所学教材紧密联系,又聚焦高考,与高考题型保持一致。听力语速较慢难度不大,但得分率不算高。本项失分较多的题目分别为:第3、5、6题,其中3、6题得分率最低。 第二部分:阅读 本次阅读理解包括四篇短文,一篇七选五,体裁涉及议论文和记叙文,所选文章具有一定的思想性和可读性,事实细节题、推理判断题和主旨大意题等各种题型均有涉及,注重考查学生的阅读理解能力。其中16、23、26题得分率比较低。 第三部分:完型填空 完形填空主要考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对语篇、语法和词汇知识的掌握情况,要求学生能够综合运用所学的词汇、语法等知识选出最佳选项,是综合性能力比较强的题型,也是学生难得高分的题型。本篇完形填空选用的夹叙夹议文体,选材精当,内容感人,问题设置非常巧妙。主要考查了三种能力:阅读理解能力;利用上下文线索进行分析和推理的能力;学生语言基础知识的运用能力。总的来说,材料偏难,达不到锻炼的效果。难题占了一半以上,其中41、42、47、50最难。 第四部分:语法填空与短文改错 这两道题考场学生的综合能力,难度较大,也是高考的难点与易错点。得分率非常的低。学生对一些语法点和语言点掌握的不牢固,需要不断加强训练,总结答题技巧。 第五部分:写作和书面表达 本次作文不是很好写,尤其对于刚上高中的学生来说更是很难,甚至出现了很多0分现象。在评卷的过程中我们还发现下面所存在的
高二英语期中考试题 一、阅读理解(共5大题;每小题2分,共40分) A On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man. The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever. Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim(认领)it soon." After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it's you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here." The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?" "It's a lottery ticket (彩票)," said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen. "Is it?" he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist. The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, "At that time you needed money to pay the tuition (学费)and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn't you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?" The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever." Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us. 1.What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday? A. He walked around the New York railway station. B. He waited for the train to Vienna. C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna. D. He played the violin to make some money. 2.Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper? A. The hat belonged to George Sang.
