三、阅读理解 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Last year, I was invited to participate in a carnival for Tuesday’s

Child, an organization that helps children with AIDS. All the

children who had gathered at one particular stall (小房间) could

paint a square. Later the squares would be sewn together to make

a quilt. The quilt would be presented to a man who had devoted

his life to the organization and would soon be retiring.

The kids were given paints in bright colors and asked to paint

something that would make the quilt beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts and blue clouds, orange sunrises and green and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright, positive and uplifting (令人振奋的). All except one. One boy was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty and lifeless. It lacked the vibrant (明亮的) colors that his fellow artists had used.

When I asked him about it, he said the heart was that color because his own heart felt black. He told me that he was very sick, and his mom was very sick too. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and neither was his mom’s. He looked straight into my eyes and said: “There is nothing anyone can do to help.”

I told him I was sorry and I could understand why he had made his heart a dark color. I told him that even though we couldn’t make him or his mom better, we can give hugs, which can really help when you are feeling sad. I told him that if he would like, I would be happy to give him one so he could see what I meant. He crawled into my lap. I thought my own heart would burst for this sweet little boy.

He sat there for a long time. Finally he jumped down to finish his coloring.

As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug (猛拽) on my jacket. Standing there with a smile on his face was the little boy. He said: “My heart is changing color. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really do work.”

On my way home I felt my own heart. It too had changed to a brighter color.

36. The children who gathered there could .

A. make a quilt to thank God B. make donations to an organization

C. paint pictures to put on the wall D. paint pictures for a quilt

37. The boy painted his picture black because .

A. he didn’t like bright colors B. he wanted to express his sad feelings

C. he couldn’t find any other colors D. his heart had turned black due to his sickness

38. What was the effect of the author’s hug on the boy?

A. He was cheered up. B. It gave him hope of becoming an artist.

C. He learned the importance of hugs. D. He learned to use bright colors in his painting.

39. The story is intended to tell readers that .

A. hugs help children who lack love

B. children are lovely and bring people joy

C. giving love to others can make a person happy

D. children with AIDS need to be independent.

B

Something landed in my e-mail inbox this year that filled me with

horror. It wasn’t a virus. It was a little dancing snowman. The friend

who had sent it had written “Merry Christmas, everyone!” at the

bottom.

I love the Internet. I would post on someone’s micro blog to say

“happy birthday”. I would send an e-mail congratulating someone on

his or her new job. But Christmas e-cards? No way.

There are some things you just don’t do via (通过) e-mail. I would always handwrite letters to say “thank you” to someone for having me stay at their house, for example, or to express my sadness if someone had died. Sitting down with a pile of at least 50 Christmas cards every year is part of that whole “Christmas spirit” tradition. It shows you can be bothered to actually put pen to paper, buy a stamp, and post a letter.

But cards play even more of a special role at Christmas. At home, my family has special card display frames (框架) for our Christmas cards, and we hang red and green ribbon (彩带) across the tops of doors and drape (悬挂) cards over them. Along with the tree, the candles and the tinsel (闪闪发亮的小装饰品), cards become Christmas decorations.

At the end of the holiday, my grandma and I sit together and cut away the pictures from the front of the cards to use as labels for presents next year.

Most importantly, there’s the fun of remembering the people you’re writing to. Each year I’ll sit down with my address book. With each “Dear so-and-so” that I write, I remember the good times I spent with that person. More often than not, I’ll let them know what I’ve been doing this year, before ending with: “We really must meet up some time.” Would this happen if I just selected their e-mail from my contacts list?

40. Why was the author horrified at what she found in her email inbox?

A. She thought her friend must have sent the same e-mail to many.

B. She thought it was too early for a Christmas card.

C. She considered it silly to send a dancing snowman.

D. She couldn’t believe someone would send Christmas wishes in an e-card.

41. What does the author usually do via email?

A. Say happy birthday to friends.

B. Write thank-you letters to friends.

C. Express sadness when someone dies.

D. Say sorry for being late for an appointment.

42. What does the author’s family usually do with cards they receive at Christmas?

A. Put them in a pile of at least 50 cards. B. Hang them on the Christmas tree.

C. Display them in frames and on ribbons. D. Store them in a special box.

43. What is the most important reason why the author writes Christmas cards?

A. It is part of the Christmas spirit.

B. It is fun to choose which friends will receive cards.

C. It is her family tradition.

D. It is a good way of renewing a friendship.

C

Anyone for kimchi (韩国泡菜)? Around 2,000 women made the

traditional dish last week in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of

Korea (ROK).

More than 270 tons of kimchi were produced and handed out to

needy neighbors.

In the ROK, kimchi is more than a dish to be eaten with every

meal, even though Koreans are said to eat about 40 pounds (around 18kg) of kimchi per person each year.

According to korea.net, the country’s official multilingual (多语种的) website, kimchi represents “the spirit” of the Koreans.

Kimchi traditionally has a rosy color. Korea.net says: “The color red wards off (避开) evil spirits. The color represents the spirit of the Korean people and kimchi is more than just a food. It’s a culture.”

A meal without kimchi is unthinkable. So what is kimchi?

Joan Raymond, food writer for US website health.com, writes: “It’s a reddish (淡红色的), fermented (发酵的) cabbage dish (and sometimes radish (小萝卜) dish), made with a mix of garlic (大蒜), salt, vinegar, chili peppers and other spices (香料).

It is served at every meal, either along with or mixed with rice and noodles. It is part of a high-fiber, low fat diet, which hasobesity (肥胖)”

Kimchi is used in everything from soups to pancakes and as a topping (配料) on pizza and burgers.

Health.com named kimchi in its list of the world’s top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins, aids digestion (消化) and may even reduce the risk of cancer.

A study conducted by Seoul National University claimed that chickens infected with the H5N1 virus (bird flu) recovered after eating food containing the same bacteria found in kimchi. When Koreans pose (摆姿势) for photos, they say “kimchi”, instead of “cheese”.

44. From the first two paragraphs, we can conclude that A. kimchi is mostly eaten by poor families

B. kimichi is usually made in winter

C. kimichi is very common in ROK

D. every Korean woman knows how to make kimchi

45. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Each person eats 40 pounds of kimchi per month.

B. Kimchi is a cultural treasure for Koreans.

C. Kimchi is rated as the healthiest food in the world.

D. Doctors use Kimchi to cure the patients infected with H5N1 virus.

46. What does the underlined phrase “keep… at bay” mean?

A. affect B. develop C. predict D. prevent

47. What does the article mainly talk about?

A. The origin of kimchi. B. Ways of making kimchi.

There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.

Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.{2017兴化市高二年级英语寒假作业答案}.

Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”

And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”

One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”

Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

C. show off its beautiful looks D. praise the gardener’s kindness

39. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?

A. Because it was used to keep a balance B. Because it stayed in its best condition

C. Because it was taken as a treasure D. Because it had its own function

B

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills ( 疾病 ) in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, clothes ever softer,

surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

40. The kings of France and England in the 16 century closed bath houses because A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in

C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

41. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?

A. Afraid. B. Curious. C. Approving. D. Uninterested.

42. How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.

43. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To call attention to the danger of dirt. D. To present the change of views on dirt.

I got my first driver’s license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.

I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?” Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.

I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.

44. Susan got her first driver's license A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old

C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland

A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law

B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland

A. American males should serve in the army

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.

Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.

He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet Auden wrote, among others, the following liners:

Earth, receive an honored guest:

William Yeats is laid to rest.

Let the Irish vessel (船) lie

Emptied of its poetry.

47. Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?

A. It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.

C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere.

48. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life?

A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater.

B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.

D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.

49. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?

A. Envy. B. Sympathy. C. Emptiness. D. Admiration.

50. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Yeats’ literary achievements. B. Yeats’ historical influence.

C. Yeats’ artistic ambition. D. Yeats’ national honor.

A both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account(考虑) the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade.

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects(方面) of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them

the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate(评估), and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to reach this goal.

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want－an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong – even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture（培养）.

During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of man were injured, he would lose the power to do something. And so people thought that each part of the brain did a different job. But modern research has found out that this is not so, for it is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.

In the past fifty years, there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have discovered that the way the brain works was not so simple as people in general may thin
