27、y night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at
28、 the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very f
29、ew people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me
30、 nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I s
31、earched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man kno
32、w my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also
33、 had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.61.

36、job at the bankBSome of Mans closest relatives in the animal kingdom are under serious threat because of human activity, according to a recently published report.Almost one in three of all apes and monkeys are now considered to be in danger of dying out and disappearing from our planet, if action is
37、 not taken soon.The report, which was produced for the World Conservation Union (WCU), shows that 114 of the worlds 394 kinds could be lost forever, and the main reason they are threatened is the continuing loss of forests where most of these animals live. In addition, illegal wildlife trade, climat
38、e change and commercial（商业的）hunting for meat are also endangering them.Whats more, the problem is getting worse. The number of species on the organizations Red List has increased by 3 to 25 since 2005.Russell Mittermeier, the main researcher of the WCU report, said, You could fit(安置) all the survivi
39、ng members of these 25 species in a single football stadium. So the problem is obviously urgent.The scientists, who drew up the Red List, believe that the situation is now so bad that if action is not taken immediately, it will result in primate(灵长目动物) species dying out - something which has not hap
40、pened in over a century.The loss of habitat caused by the clearing of forests for wood, farmland and fuel continues to be the main reason for the decreasing number of primates, according to the report, and the problem was most severe in Asia.The loss of forest trees is also responsible for 20 percen

44、el R. Bloombergs ban on cellphones in schools by e-mail messages. There was a 13-year-old student who was shot with a gun after school, unable to call his mother for help. There was a high school student robbed three times last year, twice in her school building. There was a girl who got a piece of
45、glass placed in her eye during school and was saved from a possible cornea transplant (角膜移植) only because, having disobeyed the cellphone ban, she was able to call her mother and get an operation on time. The ban has been on for years, but it set off a widespread parental outcry only in April, after
46、 some headmasters sent home letters reminding parents that cellphones are not allowed to be brought into school. Mr Bloomberg has defended the ban, saying that cellphones are bad and often used to cheat or call in friends for fights. If something is important, he says, parents can call schools direc
47、tly. On the other hand, many of the e-mail messages from parents described the ban as “cruel and heartless”, “absurdly(荒谬地) wrong-headed”, “anti-parent”, “ridiculous”. “We respect the fears that parents have,” David Cantor, a spokesman for Schools Minister Joel I. Klein said, “but after all the fact
48、 is that having phones in schools always leads to more problems.”69.

50、D“Soon, youre going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its
51、 way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new grow
52、th appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施
53、肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and
54、 once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced
55、 with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, Ill think about that tomorrow.72What are the requirement
56、s for the healthy growth of rose?A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.B. A lot of care and the right soil.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.73The writer planted the tomato because _.A. there was room for it in the gardenB. the soil was just right for itC. it cost only
57、$1.25D. the roses branches needed to be covered74This year the writers roses were _.Aremoved from the rose bed Blargely hidden under the tomato plantCmostly damaged by too much sunlightDpicked along with the tomatoes75By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to _.Aexpress
58、 her liking for the rosesBshow the hardship of growing the rosesCshow the difficulty in picking the tomatoes Dexpress her care for the tomatoes76In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that _.Athe writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesBthe roses cost the writer little moneyCsomeone
59、 will help the writer make the decisionDthe writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoesEAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. L
60、ewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the par
61、ents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general, the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. ” The study also provides a
62、n explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attent
63、ion. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner
64、 is a non-event.”77. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _. A. report on the findings of a study B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C. show the relationship between parents and children D. give information about family problems78. Parents with large families ask fewer
65、questions at dinner because _. A. they are busy serving food to their children B. they have to pay more attention to younger children C. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family79. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in par
66、agraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _. A. have to help their parents to serve dinner B. find it hard to keep up with other children C. are often kept away from the dinner table D. get the least attention from the family80. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? A. Parent
67、s should talk to each of their children frequently. B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. C. It is important to have the right food for children. D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.莆田一中2012- 2013 度上学期期末考试试卷高一 英语必修2 第II卷五、短文填词（满分5分，每小题0.5分）When I found out that m
