26、ve my Blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere withme. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate wit
27、h others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,
28、 I have a ruleno laptops, iPads, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students ass
29、ume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly en
30、gage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between t
31、he course material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for manyyears and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the cou
32、rse material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.56. Some of the students in the
33、 history class were unhappy with _.A. the course materialB. others misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the authors class regulations57. The underlined word “engage” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject58. According to the author, the use of technology in th
34、e classroom may _.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students concentration on course evaluation59. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _.A. is quite
35、stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classBThere are hundreds of TV channels in the United States. Americans get a lot of entertainment and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. Fo
36、r some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and news together.This new kind of program in the United States is called “infotainment”, which means information (info-) and entertainment (-tainment). These kinds of programs use a
37、ctors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects. An example of infotainment is the show “Americas Most Wanted”. The producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. In most of
38、these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime (犯罪). Sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. They use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. At the end of the story, however, they always show “mug shots”, or police photographs, of th
39、e real criminals.60. The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce _. A. news programs B. “infotainment” C. TV channels D. entertainment programs61. One important difference between an infotainment and ordinary TV news program is that it _. A. reports news from where it happens B. shows the pho
40、tos of real criminals C. use actors to play the role D. announces news for the police62. We can infer from the text that the producers of “Americas Most Wanted” _. A. also work as police officers B. hope to get money from the police C. hope the program will help the police catch the criminals D. oft
41、en find it difficult to persuade people to act as criminals63. In the program title “Americas Most Wanted” (Line 1, Paragraph 3), “most wanted” probably refers to _. A. criminalsB. producers C. police D. actors64. The best title for the text would be _. A. A New Type of TV Program B. TV Program for
42、the Police C. Americas Most Wanted D. Entertainment before InformationCIf you are afraid of the dark，its not a big deal. Its perfectly normal to feel afraid. After all, animals do too. “Fear matters,” says Karen Warkentin, an ecologist. “Its a good thing,” she adds, “because fear makes you do things
43、 that keep you alive.”Like kids, many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in a variety of ways. A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell. A small fish will swim away when a big, hungry fish approaches. Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect.
44、 The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red-eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species, female frogs attach jellylike clumps (果冻一样的块状物) of their eggs to the undersides of leaves. The le
45、aves hang on branches that dangle (悬挂) over ponds. After they hatch from the eggs, the tadpoles (蝌蚪) then fall into the water, where they eventually grow into adult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching. If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack, however, they can h
46、atch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim, by falling into the water early, the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect red-eyed tree frogs from snakes, you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch sooner. It turns out that hatching early brings its own d
47、anger. Once tadpoles land in the water, hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too. Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days, then, allows frog embryos to grow big and strong. This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.65. It can be inferred from the passage that fears
48、 _.A. help animals grow bigger and strongerB. are less common among young animalsC. help animals move a lot to fit the environmentD. are more or less important in order for animals to survive66. We are told in the passage that tree frogs _.A. face danger both inside their eggs and in the waterB. wil
49、l grow fast if they fall into the water laterC. are surprisingly clever when inside their eggsD. stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened67. What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?A. Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule.B. How the unborn
50、frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.C. Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way.D. How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.DLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved t
51、here a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and fe
52、lt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went
53、out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor caf. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed
54、so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many year
55、s, Im at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, Im delighted with my new friend. In his new home in Arizona, my dad is back to me from where he was.68. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C
56、. He did not love his children. D. He expected too much of her.69. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel _.A. nervous B. sorry C. tired D. safe70. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _.A. the authors son B. the authors fatherC. the friend

While we get on well with a number of
58、people, 71 . Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly. At the beginning, muc
59、h depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, 72 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background. Then, 73 . Friends will stand clos
60、er together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an
61、unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become, the more they depe
62、nd on each other. And 74 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.In contrast with marriage, 75 . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create
63、a close and lasting relationship.A. we are usually friends with only a fewB. many factors can affect friendship and relationshipC. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them downD. argument and discussion can improve personal relationshipsE. we consider things like age, race, looks, econo
64、mic and social status, etcF. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaksG. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people昆明市官渡区第二中学2011-2012学年高三下学期第一次检测英 语 试 卷（考试时间：2012年2月22日15:0017:00）第II卷（非选择题，共35分）第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节
