Most places in the world, however, hav
28、e them regularly (有规律地). Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are
29、 not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died. In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, the Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which
30、followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever recorded was also in China, in which 400,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is tha
31、t we often do not know when they are coming. People can not prepare for it. Although we cannot stop earthquakes, there are things which can be done to protect ourselves during an earthquake.56.

34、e talked about in the paragraph followed?A. How do earthquakes worry people? B. What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C. How can we protect ourselves when earthquakes happen? D. How do earthquakes happen?BIn the past decade, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women
35、. And they all got the same answer: The sexes (性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical (数学的) ideas. Boys also generally are better than
36、girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages. What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The a
37、nswer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve tracks (神经束). The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic (艺术的) creation and the expression for emotions (情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain devel
38、op differently. In boys, for example, its the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a mans brain are connected by fewer nerves than the two sides of a womans brain are.61. Which of the following is best t

41、tter than that in boys.C. Men are better than women in all things.D. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.65. In men and women the number of nerves connecting the halves of brain _.A. is the same B. is different C. is zero D. cant be found outCEveryone has got two personalities
42、 (个性) the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behaviour, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change thei
43、r position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy a
44、nd you arent very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn (顽固的), but you arent very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If y
45、ou sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive (戒备的). Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balance
46、d personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressed.

Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Here
52、 comes the good news! Museums have changed. They are no longer places that one “should” go to but to enjoy.At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Childrens Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are
53、 no “Do Not Touch” sign in some other museums in the USA.More and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so as to discover scientific r
54、ules for themselves.The purpose is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.One cause of all these changes is the increase
55、 in wealth and spare time. Another cause is that the number of young people grow in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.The old museums ha
56、ve been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. In the States and Canada, there are more than 6000 museums, twice as many as there were 25 years ago.Title: 71. _72. _Science Museums & 75. _Changes 76. _Rules Number In the pastNot allowed to touch77. _NowadaysE

58、the following passage carefully and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answer on your answer sheet. What should take the blame for the weight problems? Fast food or too much TV time? Neither of them should take all the blam
59、e for it. A group of researchers say that a number of aspects of modern living from lack of sleep to environmental chemicals and to living with air conditioning may be closely related to the weight problems of many people.Lack of sleep is one of factors. Research in animals and humans suggest that a
60、 lack of sleep over a long time can increase appetite (胃口). Studies also show that many adults and children are sleeping less than they used to. In recent decades (十年), adults have gone from sleeping for all average of nine hours to about seven hours.There is also evidence that industrial chemicals
61、may increase body fat. These chemicals, which are used in products, change hormonal (荷尔蒙) activity when they get into the body. Studies suggest that people have been getting more and more of these chemicals through the food chain in recent decades.Another factor that may be making people overweight
62、is air conditioning. The body burns calories when forced to eat less in hot and wet weather, but air conditioning makes it unnecessary for the body to make any adjustment.Researchers also list other possible risk factors for overweight, including more older mothers, whose children may become overwei
63、ght more easily; a number of medicines which can lead to weight gain; and fewer people who smoke, since people often gain weight when they stop smoking because nicotine can make people eat less.No one is suggesting that people should stop working and sleep more, or keep smoking. When it comes to any
64、 persons weight, what really matters is how much they eat and how much of the food they use every day. That means diet and exercise are still the key. 81. Why does lack of sleep will result in weight problem? (no more than 5 words) 82. How long do adults averagely sleep nowadays? (no more than 3 wor
65、ds) 83. How do the industrial chemicals come into our body? (no more than 4 words) 84. Write a suitable title for this passage. (no more than 8 words) Section C (25 points)Directions: Write an English composition in NO LESS THAN 120 WORDS according to the Chinese instructions given below. 进入高中以后，大家对
66、自己的未来一定有了更加明确的期待和规划。请谈谈今后你想从事的职业及选择这个职业的理由。衡阳市八中2012年高一五科联赛英语试题卷参考答案I.

Its quite difficult to choose from so many jobs in the world, but Id like to be a vet when I enter society. Since childhood, I have had a strong love for pets and want to be friends with them. If I have become a vet, I can not only accompany the lovely pets but also treat them medically when they are ill. In addition, I can also offer professional advice to the pet owners about how to keep their pets in a right way. It sounds like an ordinary job, but it can help people and animals live harmoniously.
