Through the years I would    ­­31  ­­­ the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   32   very important to us, so I said, “My ears, mum.” She said, “No, many people are   33   . But think about it and I’ll ask you again.” Since making my first    34  , I had often thought over the question. So the next time I told her, “Mum, it must be our eyes.” She said, “You are    35   fast, but the answer isn’t correct because there are blind people.”    36   the years, mother asked me a couple more    37   and always her response was, “No, but you are getting   38  , dear.” Last year, my Grandpa   39   .

The first name comes from the verb "cop" meaning "to take" or "capture", and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force. An early nickname for the policeman was "peeler", but this name had died out. 　　Visitors to England seem，nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that the visitors to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say，at some point or other, "I think your policemen are wonderful." 　　Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character. 　　A music-hall song of some years ago was called, "If you want to know the time, ask a policeman." Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else! 51. The British policeman has _______ nicknames mentioned in the passage. 　A. five       B. two       C. three           D. ten 52. One of the nicknames for the policeman, "peeler" _______ . 　A. is the name of a politician 　B. is most frequently used sometimes 　C. is not used any more 　D. is still used as much as "bobby" 53. "If you want to know the time, ask a policeman." That means _______ . 　A. the British policeman is friendly and helpful 　B. the British policeman has plenty of time to help people 　C. people usually think that the policeman always knows the time 　D. it is a duty for the policeman to tell people the time 54. Which of the following is NOT true? 　A. The British policeman has some nicknames. 　B. The British policeman is wonderful. 　C. Only the British policeman knows the time very well. 　D. The British policeman is ready to help people. B In China he’s known as “the Flying Fish”; in America they call him ‘the Baltimore Bullet’. Whatever you call him, American swimmer Michael Phelps looks destined (命中注定) to become a household name across the world after breaking the Olympic record for most gold medals in a single Games. Phelps’s total of eight gold medals in Beijing put him one ahead of Mark Spitz’s previous record set in 1972. Now people are already calling him the greatest Olympian of all time. But whether he is or not, what is it that makes Michael Phelps so good? A good place to start might be his physique. Phelps has the perfect body shape for a swimmer: his arm span is longer than his height, he has very flexible joints, huge lungs, and his incredibly large feet (size 14 in the US, size 49 in China) act like flippers in the water. To feed his huge swimmer’s body, Phelps eats an astonishing 12,000 calories a day, six times the average for a man of his age. He then owes it to a swimsuit which has been making waves in the world of swimming. Designed by NASA, the American space agency, the suit is made of a special material which is said to help athletes swim 2% faster. Michael Phelps should spare a thought for his mum, who first pushed him into swimming as a way of making friends, and who believed in him when one teacher said he would never be a success. Whatever the reason for his success, Phelps admits there was perhaps also a bit of luck involved in winning his eight medals. “I guess eight is a lucky number for me, too, now. The opening ceremony started on 8/8/08. Maybe it was meant to be.” he said. 55. How many gold medals did Mark Spitz's won in 1972? A. 6                          B. 7                             C. 8                             D. 9 56. What makes Michael Phelps so popular? A. He has broken the Olympic record for most gold medals in a single Games. B. He is equipped with the best swimsuit. C. He is a very lucky person. D. He has a very good appetite. 57. According to the passage, how many calories does a man need a day on average? A. 4,000                   B. 3,000                      C. 2,000                             D. 6,000 58. Which of the following is the reason for his success, in Phelps’ opinion? a. his physique       b. the swimsuit designed by NASA c. his mother’s encouragement        d. good luck      e. his confidence A. a, c, d, e             B. a, b, c, e                        C. a, b, d, e                 D. a, b, c, d C When Joe Bates was twelve years old, he lost interest in school. He stopped listening in his classes. Some of his teachers began to consider him a problem. But a few of Joe’s teachers thought that Joe might have lost interest in schoolwork because he already understood it. They proposed that Joe try taking a university class in computer science. Joe did. He was the best student in the class. Later tests showed that his intelligence and knowledge were far greater than most children of his age. He entered university when he was thirteen, about four years earlier than most children. And by the time he was in his early twenties, Joe was teaching computer science at a university. Joe’s story shows what can happen when a child’s unusual ability is recognized. Sadly, however, not all gifted children get this recognition. And educational experts say unusually gifted children may waste their abilities if they do not get help to develop them. Studies show that almost twenty percent of students who fail to complete high school in the United States are gifted children. This is because gifted children can have special problems as well as special abilities. Teachers may not recognize their abilities or may not know how to keep them interested. Or they may consider such students to be troublemakers or rebels. Gifted children may feel lonely or different because they do not know other children who share their interests. Educators say there are more than two million gifted children in the United States today.  But they say fewer than half are taking part in special education programs designed for them. One of the most successful programs is held every summer at John Hopkins University in the state of Maryland, where Joe Bates went to school. It started in 1980 when educators saw that there must be many children like Joe. At first, only 100 children took part in it, and now more than 1,000 children between the ages of nine and sixteen are students in the summer program. The John Hopkins program provides studies in math and science. It also has classes for children with unusual ability in language and writing. The children study the same subject every day for several weeks. It could be biology, or history, or English literature. In those few weeks, they learn as much as in a normal nine-month school year. William Durden, the director says the program succeeds because it permits children to make progress more quickly than in a traditional program. And the children get to meet others like themselves. 59. Joe Bates stopped listening in his classes because________. A. he lost interest in school B. he hated those teachers who considered him a problem C. he had already understood what he was taught D. he wanted to take a university class 60. When a child’s unusual ability is recognized,__________. A. he can do whatever he likes B. he will no longer be considered to be a troublemaker or rebel C. he may have more success than most children of his age D. he will certainly take part in a special education program 61. According to the passage, the most important thing is to__________. A. recognize and develop gifted children’s unusual abilities B. design and support special education programs for gifted children C. help gifted children get to meet others who share their interests D. encourage gifted children instead of treating them as a problem when they lost interest in school 62. Quite a lot of gifted students fail to complete high school in the United States because______. A. they take part in traditional education programs B. their unusual abilities are not recognized     C. their teachers don’t know how to keep them interested in schoolwork D. they have special problems as well as special abilities. D How the iron of tomorrow (the first Self Cleaning Iron) can change your lifestyle today? General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself every time you empty it. How? With a push of a magic blue button. The magic blue button The first thing you’ll notice that’s different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It’s marked “Self Clean”. Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits(沉淀物) that remain and block up inside. Push this button, and you’ve made life a lot easier. Less chance of brown spots Sure, the Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots (those ugly spots that happen on nice, cleanly pressed clothes) because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue button. Steam better longer Common sense tells you that if you’ve got an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long, period of time. In other words, it steams better longer. That’s another joy of owning General Electric’s Self Cleaning Iron. What does it mean to you Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids. You’re working. You’re going to school. It’s all part of your lifestyle. The iron can change that lifestyle by giving you less trouble before you iron. If we can make it easier for you to be a better wife, a better mother, a better homemaker, we want to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric. 63.

Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships travelling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such message. 　　Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of Earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise. 　　Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life. 　　However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely. Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking. 67. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?    A. 5 billion   B. 10 billion    C. 15 billion    D. 200 billion 68. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _____.    A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets    B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets    C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets    D. When scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets 69. The underlined word “ monitor” in Paragraph 2 means “_______”.    A. find       B. follow      C. check       D. form 70. Which of the following is TRUE based on the information in the passage?    A. The earth is the oldest planet in our galaxy.    B. All scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.    C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.    D. Scientists will give up the search for signs of life on other planets.                                                        2009-2010学年高二调研考试 英语试卷 第II卷（非选择题）（II卷答案请全部答在答题纸上） 第三部分  写作（共五节，满分50分） 第一节  单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 1.They are ______ (毕业生) of Tangshan No.1 High School..                  2.He saw himself ______ (映现) in the water.                   3.Will it be _____(方便) for you to start work tomorrow? 4.Mike’s______(缺席) from the meeting surprised us. 5.When you read, there are pictures ______(形成) in your mind. 6._______(有希望), we will be there by dinnertime. 7.Though ______ (缺乏) money, his parents managed to send him to college. 8.The dog ______ (咬) him and made his leg bleed.  9.The suggestions don’t seem to be in ______(和谐) with the aims of the project. 10.Many soldiers lost their lives in wars and were _______ (埋葬) near the village. 第二节 句子填空（共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）（每空一词）。 11.The tasks our teacher assigned to us for the winter holiday _______ _______(结果) more difficult than we had expected. 12.The world of artificial intelligence in my mind is that house can move ____ ___(任意). 13.Lots of her time is ______ ______(占用) by looking after her naughty children. 14.As we all know, eating a lot of food _____ _____ _____(高脂肪) is not good for teenagers. 15.He never did anything that was not ______ ______(赞成) by his parents and grandparents. 16.We should _____ _____(旨在) doing something useful to the society. 17.________ _______(卷入) in the case, he was questioned by police. 18.I never imagined he would sacrifice her life _____ _____ _____ _____(为了) my son! 19.The key to solving the problem mainly _____ _____(在于) who should shoulder the responsibility. 20.It ______ _______(行得通) to consult others if you cannot work out the problem by yourself. 第三节 短文填空（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）（每空一词）。 As a single mother, Cordia Harrington 21______ business that would support her children and let her spend more time with them.
