11、A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项AAmazing Facts About Elf OwlsBrief IntroductionThe elf owl (a kind of owl) is mostly found in the southwestern parts of the United States and Mexico. During the spring and summer seasons, it moves to Arizona and New Mexico. It returns to Mexico for the winter. The elf owl doesnt buil

12、d its nest. It lives in tree holes.FeaturesThe elf owl is a yellow bird. Its wings are dark and about .48-61 centimeters long. Its eyes are bright yellow. Its feet are large. It is the smallest owl of the species. It is about 12.5-14.5 centimeters long. It is also the worlds lightest owl, weighing n

13、ot more than 40 grams. In general, female elf owls weigh more than male ones.The female usually lays three eggs at a time. After the young elf owls are born,their mother will feed them with worms(蠕虫) for up to 3-4 weeks. After 10 weeks, the young ones are fully grown and ready to take flight.Living

14、HabitsThe elf owls are not aggressive birds. When danger comes, they will fly away in the other direction, rather than stay and fact the danger or the enemies. Besides flying,the elf owl can also walk and climb like a parrot. The elf owl is most active after dusk,during the night, and just before da

15、wn. It can produce many different kinds of sounds. It can live for 3-6 years in the wild. If they are kept in cages, they can live for 10-14 years. The elf owls are now in danger because of the loss of habitat. Cutting down trees will result in lack of places for them to live in.21. According to the

16、 first and second paragraphs, an elf owl may .A. build its nest in trees B. have yellow wingsC. have big and dark eyes D. live in Mexico in winter22. What can we learn from the text?A. The female elf owl takes care of her children for about four weeks.B. The elf owl sleeps at night and looks for foo

17、d during the daytime.C. The female elf owl lays one egg at one time.D. The elf owl can live no longer than six years.23. What is the character of the elf owl?A. Shy. B. Peace-loving.C. Hard-working. D. Selfish.BParents are warned not to smack(用巴掌打)their children because h may teach children that vio

18、lence can be an acceptable way to solve problems. However, a recent survey showed 92% believed that smacking was “sometimes” necessary.Ive never been involved in by any of the fashions in the extreme sport or parenting. Dont get me wrong; my kids annoy me as much as the next person does. But I dont

19、hit them. There have been moments when I have thought, 44Ah, this is when parents hit. M But I havent, because they are children and I am an adult. I pick on people of my own size.Im not the perfect parent. I give the three kids two Freddo frogs and tell them to fight ii out between them. Every nigh

20、t I kiss them good night and whisper to each of them. “You are not my favorite, but youre getting pretty close.” I often respond to the question “why cant you lake me to the park? with “because I hate children; I have the park and I am tired of reading New Weekly”.However. I wouldnt kick a kitten so

21、 why would 1 hit a kid? I love the response “It didnt do me any harm.” Well, yes, it did, because you are now using violence on children instead of seeing it as abuse(虐待), Smacking kids is wrong. Violence or the threat of violence is an abuse of the responsibility we have as parents and humans. Why

22、are children not protected in the same way as adults? An adult hitting another is considered assault, but an adult hitting a child is considered reasonable parenting.Smacking children makes us small. Its time to break the cycle with some re-education and realistic alternatives. If you are proud of h

23、itting your kids, hit them harder and hit them in front of other people. Thatll prove me wrong.24. According to the passage, what do most people think?A. Children need smacking.B. Smacking children is of no use;C. Smacking children can be a way to educate them.D. Smacking may teach children violence

24、 is a necessity.25. What can we infer about the author from the passage?A. He is a perfect father.B. He never takes children to the park.C. He educates children by encouraging them.D. He is an editor of New Weekly.26. What does the underlined word “assault” (in Paragraph 4) probably mean?A. the unac

25、ceptable behaviorB. the good manners to othersC. a kind of reasonable parentingD. the action suitable for children27. What is the writer attitude toward smacking children?A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent.C. Neutral. D. Sarcastic(讥讽的).CUsing a mobile phone during a meal is impolite. However, a new stu

26、dy found that texting or answering a phone call is regarded as less rude than using Facebook. It also said that peoples attitude towards whether or not you should be using a mobile phone at mealtimes depends heavily on what you are doing and who else is at the table.Researchers from the University o

27、f Michigan (UM) carried out the study. They studied how people use mobile phones during mealtimes and how they fee! about other people doing so. M63 people aged from 8 to 88 English-speaking countries took part.The researchers found that not ail phone use is thought to be the same. For example, text

28、ing and answering a phone call are both less rude than using Faeebook. They think this might be because texting and talking on the phone are both brief activities, while using Facebook can take much longer. This was at least true for the adults in the study, researchers said. However, childrens text

29、ing is regarded as less proper. This is because kids are thought to be largely getting together to chat or play, rather than talking with their friends on the phone. And they do it a lot more than adults.However, both adults and children agree that it is more proper for adults to use a phone at meal

30、s than for children. “People have done other activities during meals like reading a newspaper or watching the television for years. But smartphones introduce a new challenge,” said one researcher from UM.“You dont know what your friends are doing on their smartphones. So you have no idea if they are

31、 ignoring you in order to reply to an urgent email or play games,” she said.28. What can we learn about the new study from the text?A. Some students in the US did the study.B. People in the study all spoke English.C Thousands of children took part in it.D. It wanted to find out why people use phones

32、 at mealtimes.29. Why are most people against using Facebook at mealtimes?A. Because it is bad for health.B. Because it takes too much time.C. Because it leads to a waste of food.D. Because it hurts the feelings of adults.30. According to the third paragraph, children should .A. use FacebookB. never

33、 play games on phonesC. talk with their friends by phoneD. communicate with their friends face to face31. What does the researcher from UM think about people using their phones at mealtimes?A. She is strongly against it.B. She encourages people to do it.C. She thinks it is similar to reading a newsp

34、aper.D. She thinks that people might misunderstand others.DThe invention of trains enabled modern industries to suddenly grow at an incredible speed, enabling us to travel with incredible ease. Finding out who created the first modern examples of trains is easy enough, but exactly pointing out their

35、 predecessors(前辈)who formed the first basic ideas about train transport is much harder.The first example of the simple “wagonway” train system dates all the way back to the 2nd and 1st millennia(千年)BC, when the Assyrians(亚述人)and Persians(波斯人)built roads with specific wheel-ruts cut into rock. This r

36、oad design enabled them to more easily transport wagons that were pulled by horses or bulls, without any need for controlling the direction of the wagons. Because of this, many of (hose civilizations developed wagonways that connected their main cities with their nearby trading posts or sacred place

37、s The Greeks especially adopted this type of transport, even managing to build very impressive wagonway called Diolkos in ancient Corinth around 600 BC, which may today call the first railway in history.With the fall of Greece, wngonways disappeared from Europe and they only managed to resurface in

38、the 16th century, when increased trading during the Renaissance brought them back into the public eye. Powered by horses, wagonways enabled much faster and safer travel than on dirt roads, but industrialists and inventors were not satisfied. They wanted a more automated(自动化的)way of transferring good

39、s, and several small advances in regular wagonways produced only a more modern way of travel, but nothing in the way of true revolution.And that revolution came in the late 17th century with the introduction of the first stationary steam engine by Thomas Savery. This invention from 1968 was extremel

40、y simple and low-powered, and because of that,steam engines took over 60 years to come to the point where they could be useful for powering trains. This moment came in 1763, when James Watt took the simple designs of Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen and introduced a crankshaft(机轴)that could transfo

41、rm the power of steam into circular motion(圆周运动). This invention finally enabled inventors all around the world to start adapting the steam engine into a machine that could power cars, trains and boats of all types and sizes.32. Which of the following is NOT true about the “wagonway”?A. It is a hist

42、oric invention. B. Its power came from horses or bulls.C. The Greeks invented it. D. It made travelling easy.33. What does “them” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Europeans. B. Wagonways.C. Horses. D. Trading posts.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Gars were invented in 1763.B. Thom

43、as Newcomen helped the train industry a lot with the steam engine.C. It was James Watt that invented the crankshaft.D. The steam engine was a great contribution to trains.35. What is the main topic of this passage?A. The history of the train. B. The person who invented the train.C. The usage of the

44、steam engine. D. The power source of the train.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空向处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most people believe that positive thing is just something that helps us achieve our goal. 36. A 30-year study of 447 people found optimists(乐观主义者) had around a 50-percent lower risk of early

45、death than pessimists(悲观主义者). 37. So why do positive people live longer? 38. Less stress means less anger, which in turn makes their lives longer. When something doesnt go according to plan, different people have different attitudes. 39. A person with a negative attitude will complain or get angry.

46、As a result, a negative attitude, causing stress and anger, can speed up the process of aging.How can we turn our mind to more? positive things? 40. Do them every day for a month without complaining. These simple things dont sound like much, but if they become a habit, they will be some of the best

47、habits you have ever developed, because they might add years lo your life.A. This is likely why positive people live longer.B. It is because they get less stressed in day-to-day life.C. Make a list of five to ten things that you are thankful for.D. People who have negative attitudes will waste a lot

48、 of energy.E. A person with a positive attitude might look for another solution.F. Therefore, it is believed that attitude has a big effect on peoples lives.G.
