25、cond year in high school, I finally had the opportunity to live with my super-cool sister in San Diego for three weeks. It was going to be great! I would lie on the beach in the sun. Perhaps I would surf a little or ride my bike around Coronado Island. Meanwhile, I would spend every morning, Monday
26、through Friday, teaching YMCA (Young Mens Christian Association) kids how to play tennisfor FREE. Since college wasnt too far off, and since I had practically zero hours of community service, my volunteering at the YMCA was smart. I like tennis and I even kind of like little kids. Anyway, life was g
27、oing to be amazing for those three weeks. On my first day at the YMCA, I was shocked by the smallness of the children. The kids could barely grasp a racket(球拍), let alone swing one. This is when it occurred to me how potentially terrible the situation wasa group of thirty small children with rackets
28、 in hand and only four coaches. The odds were definitely against us. Luckily, the kids did not have blood on their minds, and they were relatively obedient and cooperative. It soon became painfully obvious that I was the only “coach” actually coaching. Rather ironic when one considered that I was th
29、e only one of the four NOT being paid. I must admit, however, that despite all of my efforts these children were not getting much. I had to keep telling myself that while I couldnt enjoy the fruits of my labor at the moment, I would be reveling in the benefits once college application time came. Thu
30、s, I soldiered on. As I returned home the day before the opening of school, I had complete peace of mind. Although I did not spend every day at the beach as I had initially hoped to do, I did accomplish several things and I felt as if I were a better person because of my three weeks in San Diego. 56
31、. Before going to San Diego the author was full of _.A. expectation B. confidence C. doubt D. curiosity 57. The author taught YMCA kids to play tennis because she _. A. loved small children and was active as a volunteer B. must do community service to be admitted to college C. wanted to earn some mo
32、ney to pay for her college fees D. would like to do something for others as a sincere Christian58. The underlined words “I soldiered on” reflect the authors _. A. desire to join the army B. love for teaching tennis C. control for young learner D. determination not to give up59. According to the last

A. become a teacher B. move to the beach C. play tennis professionally D. help others more willinglyB LICENSE AGREEMENT By installing(安装) the software, you acknowledge that you have read all of the terms and conditions of this agreemen

42、twater aquarium(水族箱) fish all over the world, especially in the United States. Nowadays, they also live in Atlantic waters off the East Coast of the United States. These lionfish are what scientists call an invasive(侵入的) species(物种) or an “alien invader.” Local divers off the coast of North Carolina
43、 were not expecting to see what they found one day in August 2002the beautiful lionfish, common to the warm waters of the western Pacific, but unknown of the Carolina coast. They provided the first solid evidence that lionfish were in the Atlantic. A year later, scientists documented 19 lionfish sig
44、htings at eight locations along the North Carolina continental shelf. Then, lionfish were observed off the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, and even as far north as Long Island, New York! Between 2000 and 2003, lionfish sightings were reported at 16 different shipwrecks and natural ha
45、rd bottom locations. During a summer 2004 research expedition, NOAA(The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) scientists collected 155 lionfish at 19 different locations off the North Carolina coast alone. The jump in numbers and distributions over such a short time strongly indicates tha
46、t the lionfish is reproducing in the Atlantic Ocean. If this is true, its the first time that a western Pacific fish has populated the U.S. Atlantic coast.These lionfish were likely released on purpose when people no longer wanted them! The swift and warm Gulf Stream, which transported the floating
47、lionfish eggs from Florida northward, helped the lionfishs Atlantic journey. In Florida waters and along the continental shelf near the Gulf Stream the temperatures are very similar to the lionfishs native waters. However, from north Florida upward, the waters along the coastline are too cold in the
48、 winter for lionfish to survive. Scientists expect them to survive the winter only at water depths greater than 120ft because this is where the Gulf Stream has influence all year long. Very importantly, the types of predators(食肉动物) and competitors present in the Atlantic are very different from the
49、native range of the lionfish. Generally, the lionfish have not been found to endanger marine ecosystems because they were not likely to survive long. 63. Scientists call the lionfish an “alien invader” because the lionfish _.A. have damaged the native species B. are able to live in a new environment
50、 C. came from one place and spread to anotherD. will attack other species with their poisonous teeth64. How does the author support the reproducing of lionfish in the Atlantic in Para.3? A. By analyzing causes. B. By providing figures. C. By raising questions. D. By expressing opinions.65. Which of
51、the following is the main idea of the passage? A. Lionfish got into the Atlantic Ocean in 2002. B. Lionfish will not live long in the new environment. C. Lionfish is a popular aquarium fish in the United States. D. Lionfish has been populating the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.66. What is the authors
52、 attitude towards the lionfish invasion? A. Serious. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.DWhy Laughter MattersAlthough most people believe that laughter is one of the natures great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that
53、researchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist, Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “All laughter groups laugh ha-ha-ha basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand l
54、aughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 perc
55、ent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isnt dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not ju
56、st a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickledthey return again and again to the hands of rese
57、archers tickling them.By studying rats, scientists can figure out whats going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing
58、 probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped pati
59、ents. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, largely because its hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesnt really
60、 matter: “Isnt the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?”67. The most important finding of Robert Provines research is that _. A. laughter makes a person feel good B. laughter depends on different senses C. laughter is a quality people are born with D. laughter is a social response sh
61、ared by all creatures68. According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find _. A. if they can laugh B. if they like laughing C. what laughter in rats produces D. how rats react while being tickled69. What can we learn from the passage? A. Patients will recover if they laugh enough. B
62、. Laughter is a means of communication as well as language. C. A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research. D. Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs.70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CPA. P3P2P1CB. CPP1P3SpCSpP2CPC. P1P

64、earch Laboratories in the Netherlands, has developed a new system called the vOICe. The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh, I see.” Meijers groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired (视力障碍) people all over the world.A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a hea
65、d-mounted camera, stereo headphones and a notebook PC. The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds. _72 The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images. Everything has its own unique sound. 73
66、The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调). And a built-in colour identifier speaks out colour names when it is turned on. What the vOICe users had to learn is which sound went with which object. Meijer says that he is counting on the brains ability to adapt. _74 Within two w
67、eeks, most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors. They are also able to identify certain situations, including whether the lights in a room are on or off. 75 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of t
68、he vOICe, bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time. A. Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas. B. It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones. C. However, they are not learning to see with their eyes; they are learning to see with their ears. D. The vOICe system
69、 is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals.E. Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”, but not the information “carrier”.F. To evaluate the new systems effectiveness, a number of visually impaired people were chosen to test
70、the vOICe. G. Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk. 第四部分：书面表达 (共两节，35分)第一节 情景作文 (20分) 假设你是红星中学高二（1）班的学生李华。你校英语报正在开展以“人间真情”为主题的征文活动。请根据图片的先后顺序，将2012年7月21日北京暴雨当晚父亲和你开车回家时发生的故事记述下来，向校报投稿。词数不少于60。 （请务必将情景作文写在答题卡指定区域内）第二节 开放作文 (15分)请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim.
