A

Have you ever been to the world’s smallest bookstore?

The World’s Smallest Bookstore，whose official name is just these three words，sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto．

The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet，so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is．The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’ works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．

Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．

In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．

21．What’s the passage mainly about?

A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．

C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．22．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?

A．Books on popular science．B．Literary books．

C．The year book of a university．D．Books on economic control．

23．How could you buy a book from the store?

A．The salesman will help you find the book．B．The salesman will get the money for the book．C．Choose the book(s）and leave the money there．

D．Pay on the net and then get the book(s）in the store．

Wake Up，Sleep Gene

Some people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day．I’m not one of t hem．After a night without enough sleep，I feel bad-tempered．I have trouble remembering things．And all I want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep．

How do you feel after you’ve stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes．

New research suggests that a gene called period 3 affects how well you function without sleep．The period 3 gene comes in two forms: short and long．Everyone has two copies of the gene．So，you may have two longs，two shorts，or one of each．Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you．

Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of period 3．Study participants had to stay awake for 40 hours straight．Then，they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when number flashed on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers．

Results showed that the people with the short form of period 3 performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did．In both groups，people performed worst in the early morning．That’s the time when truck drivers and other night-shift workers say they have the most trouble concentrating．

After the first round of experiments，participants were finally allowed to sleep．People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off．

People with the long period 3 genes，by contrast，fell asleep in just 8 minutes ．They also spent more time in dip sleep．That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form．

I think I must have the long form of period3．What about you?

24．The purpose of this passage might be________．

A．to tell us the importance of plenty of sleep B．to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene C．to inform the harm of lacking sleep D．to announce the sleeping rules of humans 25．What kind of people need less sleep according to the research?

A．Those with two short copies of the gene B．Those with two long copies of the gene C．Those with one short and one long copies of the gene

D．Those with three short copies of the gene．

26．If one lacks enough sleep，one should avoid doing important or dangerous things________．A．at noon B．at night C．in the afternoon D．at dawn 27．Why did the writer suppose he or she had a long form of period 3?

A．Because the writer could remain energetic without enough sleep．

B．Because the writer could do things correctly at dawn．

C．Because the writer needed more sleep to keep energetic

D．Because the writer recovered quickly after sleep．

Being an astronaut sounds cool，doesn't it? In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravity．

However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment，and that's very sad．What's worse，they can't even let their sadness show – because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity．

Of course，astronauts can still produce tears．But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January．Without gravity，tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth．This means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes．

In May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks．"Tears," he said，"don't fall off your eye．．．They just kind of stay there．"

Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain．Back on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes．But that's not the case in space．The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort．"My right eye is painful like crazy．" Feustel told his teammate during the walk．Since gravity doesn't work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears．Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away．Another choice is to just wait – "When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic．

There are lots of small things – things like crying – that we are so used to on Earth．We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space．There，astronauts can't talk to each other directly．They also can't eat or drink in normal ways．They can't even burp（打嗝），because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach．If they do burp，they just end up throwing up（呕吐）everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center．

Thus，perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity，you're the best．" 28．What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space．

B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space．

C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly．

D．Tears produced in space don't flow downward．

29．What effect do tears have on astronauts?

A．They cause physical pain．B．They bring comfort to them．

C．They make their vision clearer．D．They float around and cause trouble．30．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?

A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward．

B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around．

C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes．

D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes．

31．What's the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?

A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space．

B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space．

C．Why burping is impossible in space．

D．Things that humans can't do without gravity．

D

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty．In fact，they say by the age of eighty-five，people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old．

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study．His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five．The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties．Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies．The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties．

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older．One theory is that，as people grow older，they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions．They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences．

The researchers considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single．But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age．

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older．However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men．

32．We can learn from the research that ________．

A．only when people get older，will they feel happier

B．older people usually have no worries in their life

C．stress levels among the youngest are the highest of all

D．older people are more likely to be thankful in life

33．According to the researchers，what is probably the reason why people grow happier when they get older?

A．When people get older，they can’t remember bad experiences．

B．When people get older，they have no young children to care about．

C．When people get older，they learn to adjust their feelings．

D．When people get older，they don’t care about their fee lings．

34．What do you think the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is?

A．A Gallup organization．B．A popular science magazine．

C．A university in New York．D．A research institution

35．What would the writer probably deal with in next paragraph?

A．Advice to the young people on how to keep happy．

B．Advice to the old people on how to live longer．

C．Why women at all ages are more sad，stressed and worried．

D．Why people will grow happier with their ages．

Dear Mr．Smith,

Recently, our class had a heated discussion about the keys to success．Here are the results.

35% of the classmates hold the view that luck, talent and the environment play an important role in the keys to success．However, the majority argue that to succeed in life, we first need to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical．In addition, we must make every effort to study hard．To our surprise, 10% of them haven’t expressed their opinion.

I wonder if you would like to speak out your opinion about it．Your early reply would be highly appreciated.

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。

If you are hungry，what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that．36__ But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop．This might be the r eason why we all sometimes think “What happens next? ” “Why can’t I think? ”

37Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to get help from reading．

Once you read a book，you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．38Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity．39Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

So guys，do give food for your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading．40Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．

B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C．Just like your stomach，your mind is also hungry．

D．Now what are you waiting for?

E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading．

F．Reading can help you make more friends，too．

G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary．

Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom. According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus. To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 21 The writer usually rideshares with _____. A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows

2017-2018学年高二年级周练二英语试卷

江西省安义中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第二次周练试卷 第一节阅读理解 Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams. From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found. Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) d epressions”, a study has reported. The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy. The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food. The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure. Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug. One s ign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless. Humans have a long histor y of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt. 1. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean? A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty 2. The major role of salt is to ____________. A. help the body work well B. help fight against depression C. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs D. help people enjoy sugary substances 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it. B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt. C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there. D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 4. What kind of food should people eat more of? A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low--salt food 第二节：七选五 Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒)．__5__ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green－eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.__6__ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others— but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. __7__. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either. “It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” _8__ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.__9__ It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them. A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
