19、t more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.Most graph
20、s have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data came from(for example,a scientific study of 400 African elephants f
21、rom 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the authors main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs,including b
22、ar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label.The label tells you what each axis measures.A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we see that the x-axis shows gr
23、ades that students earned,and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade.You cansee that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we canget from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1).A line graph looks similar
24、to a bar graph,but instead ofbars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph two labeled axes and can be read the same way.To read a line graph,its important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of g
25、raph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration(See Graph 2).The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that
26、,on the first day,the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down,as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,
27、visual way to tell the reader about the birds migration.A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages;the whole pie represents l00 percent,so each piece is a fraction
28、 of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one months expense,(See Graph 3).Food$25Movies$12Clothing$36Savings$20Books$731.What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?A.4.B.6.C.20.D.10.32.The bird covered
29、the longest distance on _.A.Day 1 B.Day 2C.Day 4D.Day 333.Which of the following cost Amy most?A.Clothing.B.Books C.Movies D.Food.B Papa,as a son of a dirt-poor farmer,left school early and went to work in a factory,for education was for the rich then.So,the world became his school.With great intere
30、st,he read everything he could lay his hands on,listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown.“Theres so much to learn,”hed say.“Though were born stupid,only the stupid remain that way.”He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education.Thus,P
31、apa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day.Though,as children,we thought this was crazy,it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request.And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.We would talk about the news of the day;no matter how insignificant,it was
32、never taken lightly.Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,always to the point.Then came the momentthe time to share the days new learning.Papa,at the head of the table,would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,ready to listen.“Felice,”hed say,“tell me what you lear
33、ned today.”“I learned that the population of Nepal is.”Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said,as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it.“The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well”hed say.“Get the map;lets see where Nepal is.”And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experie
34、nce was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children,we thought very little about these educational wonders.Our family,however,was growing together,sharing experiences and participating in one anothe
35、rs education.And by looking at us,listening to us,respecting our input,affirming our value,giving us a sense of dignity,Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher,I studied with some of the most famous educators.They were imparting what Papa had
36、 known all alongthe value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted,though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.34.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.The poor could hardly afford school education.B.
37、Those born stupid could not change their life.C.The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D.The authors father was born in a workers family.35.The underlined word“it”in the second paragraph refers to“_”.A.one new thingB.a requestC.some comment D.the news36.It can be learned from the passage th
38、at the author _.A.enjoyed talking about news B.knew very well about NepalC.appreciated his fathers educational technique D.felt regret about those wasted days37.What is the greatest value of“dinner time”to the author?A.Showing talents.B.Continual learning.C.Family get-together.D.Winning Papas approv
39、al.C How a Teacher Can Change Your LifeSmiling with satisfaction,Karin Anderson continues to conduct while dozens of students were playing their instruments,and Gustav Mahlers Fifth Symphony fills the hall.The emotional(情感的)drama of conducting an orchestra(管弦乐团)of teenagers is part of a typical days
40、 teaching for Karin.“Teaching is like surfing,”she says.“You have no idea whats going to happen and theres no guarantee that things will go according to plan.You have to be on guard at all times.”But the unpredictability of her students doesnt make her job hard,she says.In fact,working with sometime
41、s difficult teenagers,which she says might exhaust other teachers,is what keeps her coming back day after day.Karin believes music lessons may have unexpected benefits.Research has found that they improve a childs language development,and the reasoning skills extremely important to maths and science
42、.“We cant be sure if music really makes kids perform better academically,or if smarter students just naturally become involved with music anyway,but there might be a connection.Certainly,schools need something for those brighter students.Its not so much giving them a release from studying hard,but m
43、ore that they need to be stretched,and pushed in a different direction.”But the benefits of music education are for everyone,not just the clever kids.Karin points out that there are strong connections between music and the motivation to learn,the ability to focus,and even someones confidence and tol
44、erance.Music can also help to create a positive,supportive learning environment,which Karin always tries to create in her orchestra.Being grouped by age,not ability,makes everyone new feel welcome and part of a family.“In school youre very aware of social classesthe rich kids and the poor kidsand al
45、l the little groups that gossip all the time,”says orchestra member Laura Greene.“But in the orchestra,everyone is part of the group,and equally important.Were all trying to improve together.Weve all got unique talents.”In Karins classroom,there are no awards decorating the walls.She says this might
46、 put the orchestra under pressure or make them worry about competition,though in fact the school has won many prizes,which she is clearly proud of.“Whats most important to me is that everyone works as a team,”she says.“Its a magic moment when theres absolute unity.”Karin wants the orchestra to widen
47、 the horizons of everyone who joins.When some parents werent able to afford certain trips of the orchestra,Karin surprised everyone by organizing what she called“scholarships”,with the school paying part of the money to students who had been positive and cooperative.They werent awarded on the basis
48、of who had a special gift for music.In her office,Karin proudly displays a picture of another student.Karin says,“Thomas was smart,but he hated school,and he seemed cut off from his peers,alone in a world of his own.The orchestra made him come out of his shell.”After graduating,Thomas wrote to Karin
49、,“Im so grateful to you for allowing me to play the most beautiful music in the world,even though I never took it up professionally.I understand now that music educates the mind and the heart,and helps you to connect with others.”38.What is Karins attitude to teaching music?A.It is emotionally tirin
50、g.B.It is about controlling the class.C.It requires careful preparation.D.It gives wonderful surprises.39.What does Karin think of music lessons?A.They serve the needs of problem students.B.They are more beneficial for smart students.C.They are more rewarding than people thought.D.They mean a lot fo
51、r students academic work.40.Which of the following would Karin agree with?A.Teamwork is important in music lessons.B.It is not worth making efforts for prizes.C.Teachers should not ignore social classes.D.Gifted students should have more chances.41.What point does the example of Thomas support about
52、 music education?A.It builds up self-confidence.B.It changes ones attitude C.It presents new challenges.D.It reduces academic pressure.DIf humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number o
53、f nocturnal(夜间活动的)species on this planet.Instead,we are diurnal creatures,with eyes adapted to living in the suns light.This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night:Weve engineered it to
54、 receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences called light pollution whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward
55、into the sky.Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels and light rhythms to which many forms of life,including ourselves,have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world,some aspect or life is affected.In most cities the sky looks a
56、s though it has been emptied of stars,leaving behind a vacant haze(霾)that mirrors our fear of the dark.Weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night,dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth is wholly beyond our experience,beyond memory almost.Weve
57、lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country,when nothing could be further from the truth.Among mammals alone,the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force,and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁).The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of son
58、gbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night,birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brigh
59、ter than normal,throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,including their nighttime breeding choruses.Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures,we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare,to our internal clockw
60、ork,as light itself.Living in a glare of our own making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritagethe light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe,to forget the scale of o
61、ur being,which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Waythe edge of our galaxy-arching overhead.42.What does the underlined word“it”(Paragraph 1)most probably refer to?A.The moon.B.The night.C.The sky.D.The planet.43.The writer mentions birds and frogs to _.A.show ho

64、文内容，从短文后的七个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。You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place.46 “They”are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as“they”are around.Or you may blame yourself for all you
65、r problems,thus internalizing(内化)your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.47They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they dont let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknes
66、ses,yet they dont blame themselves when they fail.48 They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with
67、 many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish(沉溺)in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but al
68、l around them.49 In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.50 He may choose to first experience
69、 the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.A
70、.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.B.Compared with victims,creators are more emotional.C.Ones experiences determine his attitude toward life.D.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.E.Another with the same experience may choose to be a creator.F.“They”did things
71、 to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.G.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35 分）第一节（15 分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国好友 Jim 正在准备题为“保护野生动物”的演讲稿，发来邮件咨询相关信息，请你给他回复邮件，内容包括：1.野生动物生存现状；2.保护野生动物的措施。注意：1.词数不少于 50；2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。Dear J

74、om your email I have learned that you are preparing for the speech about wildlife protection.I think you choose a good topic and Id like to share what I know with you.The number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller.Some of them are endangered and even dying out.The reasons are as follows.
75、To start with,people have been cutting down trees for building materials,causing some animals to lose their habitats.Besides,to make money,some people have been killing rare wild animals.They use wild animals like elephants,tigers,antelopes and bears to make handicrafts and medicine.Some wild animal
76、s are even hunted and killed to satisfy peoples desire to taste new and novel flavor,such as shark fin soup and even bat soup.In my opinion,its time that we took immediate measures to change the situation.First,we should not cut down trees without the governments permission.Instead,we are supposed t
77、o plant more trees to protect the animals living conditions.At the same time,more nature reserves are expected to be set up.Last but not the least,laws to protect wild animals should be made and the people who kill,sell and buy wild animals should be punished seriously.I believe as long as we take a
78、ction immediately,we will live in harmony with animals and life will become better.I hope what I said will be of help to you.If you have any questions,please write to me.Im looking forward to your reply Yours Li Hua 第二节（20 分）52 Possible version:This week,I took part in the knowledge competition on g
