24、tle dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.”“I waited and waited.

28、oliceReading BWhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do
29、a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become nearsighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they mu
30、st get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, howeve
31、r, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will
32、find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.55. We should take good care of our eyes _.
33、A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are56.

Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for _.A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide area D. judging distances59. People who suffer from asti
35、gmatism have _.A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesReading CMy father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without education.
36、 He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went
37、beyond “reading, writing, and adding.” If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write,
38、and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.60.

41、y dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光芒) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I neednt have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway- unless he had fallen
42、 asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, then I opened the door quietly and went to Jacks room. He was in bed awake but he didnt even turn towards me.“Whats up, Jack?” I said.“For Gods sake(看在上帝面上), dont make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain w
43、ho is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury. “Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humor him to keep him happy, “Theres a snake here” he explained, “Its asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.
44、I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to.” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasnt bitten me yet but I darent do anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this,” he

48、ck _.A. asked Neville to take off his shoesB. made a gesture to show the presence of the snakeC. was afraid to upset the snake sleeping between the sheetsD. behaved strangely as if he was badly hurtReading EDisposing(处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more
49、 people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rub
50、bish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on
51、 rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated are
52、as. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking dist
53、ance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling effort
54、s have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.67. The most suitable title for this passage would be _.A. Places for Disposing Waste B. Waste Pollu
55、tion DangersC. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D. Waste Disposal Problem68. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _.A. burying it B. recycling itC. burning it D. throwing it into rivers69. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Farm areas accept waste f
56、rom the city in modern society.B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.D. Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.70. The main purpose of writing this article is to _.A. draw peoples attention to waste manag
57、ementB. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC. call on people to take part in recycling programsD. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste十堰市郧阳中学高一年级下学期期中考试（英语科）第二卷（40分）V、完成句子（共10小题； 每小题1.5分，满分15分。请结合英汉提示完成句子。）71.

B这是一道细节理解题。recycle意为“循环利用”。对于垃圾的循环利用是最近才开始的一项技术，18世纪的时候是没有的。文章二、三段明确提到其余三种垃圾处理方法。69. D这是一道细节理解题。文章第四段提到landfills(垃圾掩埋法)和long-dista

65、g along or crossing the road. Another reason is that drivers often drive too fast, without noticing people around. Some drivers even drive after drinking alcohol and break traffic rules. Seeing so many people killed or injured in car accidents, I strongly suggest our government take measures to teach our pedestrians about road safety. We should also tell our drivers about what to do and not to do while driving. The traffic police should take severe actions so that our drivers dare not violate traffic rules. I hope we can have a much safer traveling everyday.
