Jason had been watching the X Games on TV. Athletes from all over the world were
competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. “I want
to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety!” said
Jason.
“You will have to follow some rules,” said his grandmother. “You can only ride in the park
—never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet ( 头盔). If you hurt yourself too
much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal?”
“You bet!” Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board
and a helmet.
On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a
grandmother who let him try new things.
Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道). They flew into the air
and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the
tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy.
He felt a little bit scared.
Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on
the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided ( 滑 行 ) along, just
waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen.
Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.
It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because
things had gone wrong, and he was fine!
Next time he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. “Excellent!” said a girl as she
passed him. “Extreme!” laughed Jason to himself. “Not quite.”高一英语（学科） 第 5 页 共 10 页

You can remember the face, but can’t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in
this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone’s name
than what they look like.
Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的)
names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which
they thought they had seen before.
The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the
faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could
recall only 64 percent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York.
That may be because faces are only recognized visually(视觉地), while names can be both
spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown
famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs.
Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university’s psychology department, said, “Our study
suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even
worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial
understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds
work.” Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for
middle-aged people when they run into people they know.
But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings
are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the
participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces.
28. What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3?
A. It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces.
B. Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces.
C. Most participants can remember the face not the name to it.高一英语（学科） 第 6 页 共 10 页
D. The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person.
29. Which of the following will the author agree with?
A. Age will weaken the ability to remember names.
B. Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually.
C. Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory.
D. Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better.
30. What does the underlined word “ initial” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Clear. B. first. C. Unusual. D. Creative.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People can’t remember strangers’ names and faces.
B. Recalling names is more difficult than remembering faces.
C. The researcher uses the same method to study another problem.
D. Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved.
D
Scientist in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help remove landmines from the
countryside. Landmines are small bombs hidden in the ground and designed to explode when
someone steps on them.
When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal to their
human team. Then why use rats for such an important job?
In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can
respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a
chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more,
the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to take
care of one dog as it does 70 rats.
The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African country with many landmines.
Luisa Fernanda Mendez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats.
These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments. “They
even train their babies to perform their jobs, which saves us a lot of time,” Mendez said.
Colombia has the second-highest rate ( 比 率 ) of deaths from landmine accidents in the
world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people—56 of whom were children. A criminal （犯罪）
group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, as well as other
organizations, have placed the mines. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government. The
group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.
In the past, the Colombian government hired peasants and poor farmers to find mines.
Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.
Colombian police official Erick Guzman hopes the team of rats can come to the rescue.
“These rats will be a great help,” he said.高一英语（学科） 第 7 页 共 10 页
32. How do rats help to find land mines?
A. By their excellent hearing. B. By their sense of smell.
C. By their special sight. D. By their light weight.
33. What is the advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs?
A. They are cleverer than dogs.
B. They run faster than dogs.
C. They don’t make mines explode as easily.
D. they have a better sense of smell.
34. Which of the following is not true?
A. In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs.
B. Rats are much lighter than dogs.
C. It costs less money to take care of a rat than a dog.
D. Dogs have a better sense of smell than rats.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new way to clear land mines—specially-trained rats .
B. People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.
C. Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.
D. Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians. 第二节. 七选五（共 5 小题；

Volunteering is a great way to support an organization and make a difference in your
community. It can also be an opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills. 36
And what should we plan for? Here’s a guide for beginners.
Step 1: 37
Do you want to help the world, or your community? Do you want to build your own skills,
make new friends, and learn? Do you love what you do? Do you want to share your gifts with
others or give something back? Think about these kinds of questions. That can help you to
choose the right direction for your volunteer work.
Step 2: Choose an organization that is meaningful to you.
If you feel strongly about literacy ( 读写 ),, volunteer at your local library or find out if
there is an organization of volunteer tutors in your area. There are organizations doing all sorts
of work. 38
Step 3: Start small.
If you already have a busy school life, volunteer your time for an hour or two a week, or
perhaps one day a month. 39 Then, if you find you enjoy the work and have more time
to do it, take on more time by time.
Step 4: Get training.高一英语（学科） 第 8 页 共 10 页
If there is a training course, attend it. If not, talk to the group leaders and other volunteers
about their experiences. 40
Step 5: Try not to give up.
Volunteer work sometimes involves unpleasant tasks, difficult fellow workers, busy days,
or bad management. If you find your work difficult, however, try to work through it before you
decide to quit.
A. Do you love to work with people?
B. Get to know others in the organization.
C. Think about why you want to volunteer.
D. But how do we go about volunteering?
E. It is important that you choose something that you like.
F. You’ll pick up some good tips to make your work there more productive.
G. You might be surprised by how much you can do in even a little bit of time.

Dear Chris,
I am Li Hua. I am writing to keep you informed that there will be a calligraphy class next
week.
As is posted, the class begins at 3:00 p.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. next Friday in Room 301 of
the main building. Following the sign, you can easily arrive there. A very famous professor
from college has been invited to give us a clear introduction to improving Chinese
calligraphy, which I think is of great use to you. Members in the club are welcome to attend
the class and it is an amazing chance to know more about Chinese calligraphy. Finally, you
might as well take an umbrella because there is often a sudden shower in the afternoon
recently.高一英语（学科） 第 12 页 共 10
