"Bill, you never miss!" Joe said admiringly. "Unless I'm in a real game," Bill complained. "Then I miss all the time." Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd. "Maybe you just need to practice more," Joe suggested. "But I practice all the time with you!" Bill objected. He shook his head. "I just can't play well when people are watching me." "You play well when I'm watching," Joe pointed out. "That's because I've known you since we were five years old," Bill said with a smile. "I'm just not comfortable playing when other people are around." Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself. "Practice without me," Joe said to his friend. "I'll be back in a minute."

Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school's basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
"Hey, Bill!" Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face. "I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you," Joe said. "Now you'll have nothing to worry about for the next game!"

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals achieved a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or going on hands and knees into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are hardly recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
25. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Wild Animals in Art
B. Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C. Exploring Caves

D. Determining the Age of French Caves
26. What does the underlined phrase “pays heed to” in paragraph 2 probably means?
A. discovers B. watches C. notices D. buys
27. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?
A. It was completely dark inside.
B. The caves were full of wild animals.
C. Painting materials were hard to find.
D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.
28. According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPT _______.
A. temperature changes B. air movement C. water D. light

England's highest main-line railway station is in serious trouble, deserted and unmanned since it was officially closed in 1970, Dent, located high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up on six summer weekends each year, when a special train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who simply want to catch a train from the highest station to its platforms.
But even this limited being may soon be brought to an end. Dent station located on the Settel to Carlisle railway line, is said to be surrounded by the most beautiful scenery in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line because of the British Rail's money problems.
It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridges, built a century ago, are falling down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is an old system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting（腐烂） and engines and coaches(车厢) are getting old.
On main lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. There lines still make a profit and cash can be found to keep them in good condition. But on the country branch line, the situation is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer than necessary and discouraging travelers.
If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another places. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridling station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were calculated at 200,000 pounds just for one bridge, so British Rail was pleased, and rather surprised when two local councils(理事会) offered half that amount of money.
32. Of all the railway routes in Britain, the one which passes through Dent
A. is the most historic.
B. passes through the most attractive countryside.
C. is the most expensive route for tourists.
D. carries the greatest number of tourists.
33. What is the most urgent（ 迫切的）problem for many country railway lines ?
A. Rebuilding bridges.
B. Repairing engines.
高一英语

C. Renewing coaches.
D. Replacing stations.
34. Who would appear to be the people most affected by the difficulties facing the British Rail?
A. The people who do much business.
B. The groups who are organized .
C. Large city people and local people.
D. The people who want to have holidays for touring.
35. How should British Rail improve the financial situation of the country railway lines?
A. By bringing in speed limits
B. By decreasing preserving costs.
C. By increasing train fares
D. By asking local councils for help

根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Why Don’t Students Like School?
Most of the teachers I know entered the job because they loved school as children. ___36______ However, they are understandably discouraged when they find that some of their students don’t like school much, and that they, the teachers, have great difficulty inspiring them. Why is it difficult to make school enjoyable for students?
As a matter of fact , the brain is not designed for thinking. It’s designed to ask you not to have to think, because the brain is actually not very good at thinking. Thinking is slow and unreliable. ____37_____People like to solve problems, but they do not like to work on problems that cannot be solved. If schoolwork is always just a bit too difficult for a student, it should be no surprise that he doesn’t like school much. __38____
What is the nature of being human? ____39____ Many people would answer that it is our ability to reason that makes us different—birds can fly, fish can swim, and humans can think . (By thinking I mean solving problems, reasoning, reading something complex, or doing any mental work that requires some effort.) Shakespeare thought highly of our cognitive(认知) ability in Hamlet: “What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason!” Some three hundred years later, however, Henry Ford came up with a quite different opinion, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few people
高一英语
高一英语
are interested in it.” They both had a point of view. Humans are good at certain types of reasoning, especially compared to other animals, but we hardly often exercise those abilities. ___40_____Thinking is not only painful, as Ford noted, it’s also slow and unreliable.
A.A cognitive scientist would add another point of view, “Humans don’t think very often because our brains are designed not for thought but for escaping from thought.”
B. What sets us apart from other species?
C. Of course you could make each decision with care and thought.
D. However, people enjoy thinking if it is successful.
E. Therefore, teachers should reconsider how they encourage their students to think, in order to make thinking enjoyable enough for students to go after.
F. If we are all so bad at thinking, how does anyone get through the day?
G. They want to help their students feel the same excitement and passion for learning that they felt.

Dear Lucy，
How are you? My name is Li Hua, whom you taught oral English when I was in
Senior 1. Now our school asks me to invite you to come to our school to be an oral English teacher for the English Winter Camp during the winter vacation. Here are some
details about the activity.
The camp will start from January 10 to 25,2017. You can come a few days before January 10. In the morning you will give three oral English classes so you are expected to get ready for different topics to communicate with the students. In the afternoon there
are mainly outdoor activities such as having some picnics and visiting parks and museums, etc. You can also take the chance to travel more in China.
I hope you will accept the invitation and have a happy winter holiday.
Yours sincerely，

W: We all like our parents, because they give us too much love and care.Now I’d like to talk about my dear dad.My dad is a “Mr.Mom”.He was 50 years old when I was born.I didn’t know why he was at home instead of mom, but I considered myself very lucky because I was the only one of my friends who had dad around.
Dad did so many things for me during my elementary school years.He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at our house instead of the usual bus stop two blocks away.He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little older and tried to gain my independence, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love, but he wouldn’t give up.In high school I was no longer able to go home for lunch, so I began taking my own.Dad would get up a little earlier and prepare it for me.
However, when I left home for college, I missed my dad every day after school.At that time I called him a lot.It didn’t matter what he said; I just wanted to hear his voice.
