Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read a book on tape. But it 36 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered(口吃) so badly that I was completely 37 to speak in public. 38 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and 39 was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a diamond necklace, 40 pages as if uncovering treasures.

One day he 47 me. After handing in a poem, I waited for his 48 . It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students gathered together, he 49 me, “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this poem.” I stared at him in 50 . “Why,” I started, anger 51 me. “of course I did!” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it 52 memory.” By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there, 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 54 !

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home! （ ）56. The writer of this passage must be ______. A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student （ ）57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. （ ）58. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______. A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home C. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant （ ）59. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. A. strict with time B. serious with time C. careful with time D. willing to spend time （ ）60. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between Americans C. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships B Students’ Insurance What Is Covered under Contents?

According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman. There are many reasons for this, typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor. “Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.” Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago, Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. “When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.” According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group. “A lot of men think they are invincible(不可战胜的),” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, “Geez, if it could happen to him, __________.” Then there is the ostrich approach, “some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill. “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. “Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain(紧张) on the public purse,” Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.” ( ) 65..Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage? A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today. B. Their average life span has been considerably extended. C. They have lived long enough to read this article. D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life. ( )66. What is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women according to the author? A. men drink and smoke much more than women B. men don’t seek medical care as often as women C. men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger D. men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases ( )67. Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him, _______”? A. it could happen to me, too B. I should avoid playing golf C. I should consider myself lucky D. it would be a big misfortune ( )68. What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”? A. a casual attitude towards one’s health conditions B. a new therapy for certain psychological problems C. refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved D. unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear 第二卷(三部分，共 39 分) 第一节 任务型阅读(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格 1 个单词。 Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (营养学家) for advice. Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About 100 cardiac ( 心 脏 病 的 ) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second. “Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,” the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said. “We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem.” Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get further information. Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them. “Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估 ) their portions (份 ),” Kimura said. “Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results.” As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help. New function of cellphones Reasons Cellphone cameras help Japanese lose (69) _____. There is a growing concern about health and (70) _____ slim. Obesity may result (71) _____ diseases such as high pressure, heart disease, type II diabetes and so on. They hope the cellphone programme will help to (72) _____ the number of people who are at the risk of these diseases. Ways The service on a trial basis has been started to solve the problem of (73) _____ fat. A system has been developed in which the value in (74) ______ is told 3 days later according to the photos of meals (75) _____ with cellphones. Another system has also developed in which advice is (77) _____ to patients after a nutritionist gets (78) _____ amount of nutrition from the photographed meals over the course of three to seven days. Further information can be got by (76) _____ on a website. 第二节 完成下列句子（9 分） 1. 假如你找到不确定的信息，你可以向专家咨询确定。 If you find information you are not 79 about, you can 80 experts to 81 it. 2. 我突然想起，我们可以求助于网络来解决给我们带来许多不便。 It suddenly 82 to me that we can 83 to the Internet to 84 some problems which bring us a lot of 85 . 3. 难怪盘尼西林在世界上被大量使用来治疗各种由细菌引起的炎症。 86 87 that penicillin is used in large 88 all over the world to cure various kinds of diseases. 4. 她是一个习惯于用努力工作来发泄感情的人。 She is a person 89 to 90 her feelings by working hard. 5. 手术已经把他心脏周围被堵塞的通道打通了。 The operation has 91 92 the 93 passages around his heart. 6. 我们老师说过：勤奋是成功的根本。 Our teacher said that hard work 94 95 96 success. 第三节 书面表达 （20 分） 下图描述的是全球环境问题。请仔细观察这幅漫画，用英语写一篇短文，阐明漫画中所反映的问题，并提出解 决此问题的方法(至少三点)。 注意： 1.仔细品味图中文字的韵味，可以适当发挥想象，不要做简单描述; 2.词数 150 个左右。开头已经写好，不计入总词数; 3. 作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。 From the picture, we can see that pollution is posing a threat to our earth, which comes in many ways. ▲ _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 江都市仙城中学高二年级英语期中考试试卷 答 题 纸 第一节 任务型阅读 69． 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 第二节 完成句子 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 第三节 作文 答 案 1-5.

Millions of chimneys of the factories are pouring heavy smoke into air, which causes serious air pollution. A large amount of waste water from the factories pollutes water, making our rivers fishless and our water unfit to drink and swim in. Furthermore, a lot of trees have been cut down without proper plans, which contributes to the soil being washed away. It seems that we really have no clean place to live. The pollution is so serious that we have to find effective solutions to it. As far as I am concerned, the government should pass laws to reduce polluted air. Some measures should be taken to purify the water before it is poured into the rivers or the seas. We should plant more trees to keep the soil in place. What’s more, people should be further educated to realize the importance of environmental protection. Thus, we will have a clean and tidy environment.
