Over the course of 40 years in the field, the zoologist learned how to fly airplanes and use some high-tech means to follow their movements. He also learned how to get out of the way fast. "I learned how to climb trees very quickly," says Dr. Douglas-Hamilton, winner of the 2010 Indianapolis Prize. As co-founder of Save the Elephants, he has also learned to be an activist, author, and politician. When Douglas-Hamilton left Tanzania, in East Africa, in 1970 to study at Oxford University in Britain, he left behind "an elephants' paradise (乐园)."But when he returned in 1972, the country's national parks looked more like a war zone. Douglas-Hamilton often found more dead elephants than living ones. Dr. Douglas-Hamilton now lives in Kenya with his wife, Oria, who co-founded Save the Elephants. Together they have written two books, "Battle for the Elephants" and " Among the Elephants". During the height of the ivory poaching (偷猎),Douglas-Hamilton flew in small planes, helping bring back elephants in Uganda from the edge of extinction. He's been repeatedly shot at and has survived plane crashes, floods and diseases. He fought for years for a worldwide ban on ivory sales, which finally took effect in 1989. Douglas-Hamilton pioneered the scientific study of elephant social behavior. Among his discoveries: Elephants have a society controlled by female elephants and travel in families. In 2009， he worked to save a rare group of desert elephants in Mali from the worst dry weather in Mali's history. There have been other successes, particularly in East and Southern Africa. Douglas—Hamilton has proposed (提议) the idea of a mobile national park, where the protected land would follow elephants as they travel. No country has yet accepted it. Even after decades of research, Douglas-Hamilton still enjoys the company of elephants. "I love to sit with them and be with them, "he says. "I have the greatest joy just to be with elephants at peace." 36((本题2分)What is the passage mainly about? A.Douglas-Hamilton's winning the Indianapolis Prize. B.Douglas-Hamilton's devotion to protecting elephants. C.Douglas-Hamilton's research into African animals. D.Douglas-Hamilton's fight for a mobile national park. 37((本题2分)Before Iain Douglas-Hamilton left Tanzania for Oxford University ，________.

A.national park B.protected land C.idea D.elephant 【答案】 36(B 37(B 38(A 39(C 【解析】 36(主旨大意题。本文讲述了 Douglas-Hamilton 在保护非洲大象方面所作出的巨大贡献。 故选B。 37(推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知，在Iain Douglas-Hamilton 去Oxford University之前， 那儿是大象的乐园， 这说明大象获得了很好的保护，狩猎并不严重。故选B。 38(细节理解题。根据文章第五段的Douglas-Hamilton has proposed (提议)the idea of a mobile national park... No country has yet accepted it.可知他只是提出建设流动国家公园的建议，故A 项描述错误。 39(代词指代题。根据第五段倒数后两句可知，Douglas-Hamilton提出了一个，但是目 前没有国家接受这一提案，故C为正确答案。 【备注】本文讲述了一位名叫Iain Douglas-Hamilton的动物学家为了保护非洲的大象辛勤工 作40年的故事。 There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language. When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying ―I want to be friendly‖ , but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying ―Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer‖. Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language. Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C. Today, in the United States,there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen. The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water. How many hand signs do you use every day? 40((本题2分)Which of the following about sign language is TRUE? A.It is a special language used in a few countries in the world. B.It is a way to express one’s ideas without words. C.It is only used by the deaf. D.It can be heard. 41((本题2分)If you want to express the idea that ―I am very friendly‖ to someone, you will . A.raise your hand B.put one hand onto the other C.smile to the person D.make a roof with your hands 42((本题2分)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Hand signs instead of finger signs are used every day. B.There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA. C.The French priest Charles invented sign language. D.Even babies are using sign language. 43((本题2分)The passage is mainly about . A.an introduction to sign language B.an introduction to hand language C.a famous priest in France D.how to use sign language 【答案】 40(B 41(D 42(A 43(D When I paid for the bicycle repair, the repairman told me, ― No change, Professor Pan. We’re friends.‖ ―I’d rather pay,‖ I replied. ―If it’s free, I can’t afford it.‖ Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, ―We’re friends now!‖ But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place. According to the Americans, ―There’s no free lunch,‖ meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. ―Wait until you have something major to fix!‖ he insists. Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t make up for the greatest gift – friendship. When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, ―They must have nothing better to do.‖ ―Actually,‖ I said, ―they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I.‖ And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, ―They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies.‖ How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, ―No charge. We’re friends.‖ I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch. 44((本题1分)Why did the author insist on paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs? A.Because he was an upright man. B.Because he didn’t know the repairman. C.Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service. D.Because he didn’t want to help others in return. 45((本题1分)Generally, the author thinks that ___________ . A.Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends B.Chinese are good at exchange of equal values C.Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends D.Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time 46((本题1分)The best title for the passage should be ―_________ ‖. A.Still No Free Lunch B.A Good Lesson from Chinese C.True Help or Not D.Learn to Both Give and Receive 47((本题3分)Which of the following is TRUE? A.All the Chinese help foreigners on purpose. B.Chinese like to ask for help. C.The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life. D.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life. 【答案】 44(C 45(A 46(A 47(D 【解析】 44(推理判断题。 根据第四段的句子―According to the Americans, ―There’s no free lunch,‖ meaning that there’s a price for everything,‖可知作者坚持要付给修理工钱，因为他认为给别人 的服务付钱是正常的。故选C。 45(细节理解题。 根据第六段的句子―Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me‖可知作者认为中国人是慷慨的，并总是乐于帮助他们的朋友。故选A。 46(主旨大意题。 根据第四段的句子―According to the Americans,‖和最后一段的句子―I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.‖可知作者收到 慷慨的中国人的帮助，当其他人要求他教英语的时候，他认为―天下无免费的午餐‖，后来在 了解了中国文化的时候，他能欣然接受人们的帮助。不过在人们要求他教英语的时候，他会 让人们教他儿子汉语。所以Still No Free Lunch是文章的主题。故选A。 47(细节理解题。 由文章最后一段 ―And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.‖可知中国人足够聪明享受有限的生活。故选D。 【备注】―天下没有免费的午餐‖，作者刚开始生活在中国时并不理解中国人对朋友的―慷慨‖， 慢慢地他理解了这种友谊，也学会了―接受‖和―给予‖。 ―Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.‖ You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh(严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said. We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here’s an example An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone! The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, ―Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!‖ Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it. Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive? People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely. 48((本题2分)The author mentions the story of the ancient king to show that _____. A.one dream sometimes has different explanations B.good words can bring good luck to people C.people should be careful when talking to a king D.different ways of saying things have different effects 49((本题2分)The underlined word ―naysayer‖ in the last paragraph refers to a person who always _____. A.has a negative attitude B.likes to be praised C.talks big D.likes to repeat what others say 50((本题2分)According to the text, how can people understand each other better? A.By sharing different life experiences B.By accepting different habits. C.By properly using words D.By recognizing different values. 51((本题2分)The passage mainly talks about ______. A.the power of words B.the cruelty of the king C.how to understand others D.how to build good relationships 【答案】 48(D 49(A 50(C 51(A 【解析】 48(细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的句子―Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it. ‖两个翻译给出的是同样的翻译，但解释的方 式之间有着很大不同，这是造成国王听完不同的解释后作出不同反应的原因，因此D正确。 49(词义猜测题。根据划线句子下句―They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full‖，他们总是看到事情的阴暗面，他们总是看到杯子 空的那一半而看不到满的那一半，说明他们有着消极的态度。故选A。 50(细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句―Remember words have power. Use them wisely.‖可 知人们要更好地彼此理解，用词要恰当。故选C。 51(主旨大意题。 根据最后一段的句子―Remember words have power. Use them wisely.‖可知 文章主要介绍的是语言的力量。所以A正确。 【备注】作者通过举例:用不同的方式解释同一个梦得到截然不同的结果。说明语言的力量， 告诉读者要聪明地运用语言。 Neither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage (新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news. Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they lose—which is by no means impossible—we all lose. The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet，they haven't figured out a smooth and sure way to do that. So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won't even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too late—too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers. The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent. When experienced staff leave in large numbers—as they often do now—the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见 识) that only the experienced reporters can bring. As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign:intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest (不太高的) pay. 52((本题2分)The underlined word ―deadwood‖ in Paragraph 5 may refer to ― ‖( A.the staff who are going to retire B.people who are no longer useful or needed C.workers who are experienced D.reporters who are tired of covering events 53((本题2分)According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?

We will travel for about two months but will tour the United States and parts of the Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not spend as much as vacationing in hotel, but we had to plan carefully. I think the car what we are going to drive is very small, so we decide to take only one small suitcase for both of them and as few camping things as possibly. We will take some medicine with us prevent insects from hurting us, and also some food for picnics. I’m sure that we will have fun. 【答案】My father and I taking a camping trip in July and August. We will travel for about two months will tour the United States and parts of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not as much as vacationing in , but we to plan carefully. I think the car we are going to drive is very small, so we decide to take only one small suitcase for both of and as few camping things as . We will take some medicine with us prevent insects from hurting us, and also some food for picnics. I’m sure that we will have fun. 【解析】第一处:考查be动词。句子的主语是my father和I两个人，二者由and连接，所 以be动词要用复数形式。根据语境可知，句子时态是一般现在时，所以要把am改为are。 第二处:考查连词。句意:我们准备旅游大约两个月，准备游览美国和加拿大的部分地方。 句意前后没有转折关系，句中不能用连词but;句意前后是顺承关系，要用连词and。把but 改为and。 第三处:考查定冠词。Canada表示―加拿大‖这个国家，是专有名词，词前不需要加定冠词 the。去掉Canada前的the。 第四处:考查动词辨析。句意:宿营的花费不像住宾馆花费那么多。动词spend的主语必须 是人，动词cost的主语可以是物或某种活动，而句子的主语it指的是宿营，把spend改为 cost。 第五处:考查名词。根据句意，此处的hotel不是特指的旅馆，而应该是泛指的旅馆。可数 名词用泛指表示类别时，要用复数形式。把hotel改为hotels。 第六处:考查动词时态。根据前后文的时态和―it does not spend as much as vacationing in hotel, but……‖可知，but是并列连词，前后句子的时态要保持一致。把had改为have。 第七处:考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词是the car，what不能用做关系代词，要使用表 物体的关系代词which或that在定语从句中做drive的宾语; which或that在定语从句中做 宾语时亦可省略。所以把what改为which或that，也可去掉what。 第八处:考查人称代词。前文作者提到了他和父亲两个人去旅游，从作者的角度来说，应该 使用人称代词us，而不是them。句意:我们决定为我们两个人只带一个小手提箱。把them 改为us。 第九处:考查形容词。句意:带尽可能少的宿营物品。―尽可能……‖在英语中表示为―as …as possible‖，是―as … as it is possible‖的省略形式。把possibly改为possible。 第十处:考查不定式。句意:我们准备随身带些药物用来防止昆虫伤害我们。句中动词prevent 不能做谓语，要改为非谓语形式;因为非谓语形式要做目的状语，所以改为不定式to prevent。 在prevent前加to。 五、语法填空:共10题 每题2分 共20分 M: Maria, what can you tell us about your plans for the future? W: Well, I 57 (consider) taking a year out after I graduate. You know, I maybe travel around the world and see some different countries. M: 58 do you hope to gain from traveling? W: I’ve always been interested in seeing different places and 59 (experience) different cultures, so it will give me a chance to experience these things first-hand rather than read about them in a book. But I also think that the experience I gain will help me find a good job when I come back. M: Can you explain 60 you think traveling will help you find a job? W: Well, the modern business environment is changing. Therefore, to be 61 (success) in one’s life, it is important to be able to accept changes. M: What do you mean? W: I mean that you 62 change your attitudes and even working habits to suit the ever-changing environment. And 63 you’ve spent some time traveling, it means that you have to get used to different ideas and ways of doing things as well as simpler things, such as food and climate. M: Er...It sounds reasonable. W: I also believe that traveling will teach 64 (my) to be independent as well as value other people. M: Why do you believe traveling will help you to value other people? W: As you know, when you’re traveling you can’t get help from your family, 65 you have to depend on your friends, or even turn 66 strangers. M: Oh, I see. You’re right, Maria. 【答案】 57(have been considering 58(What 59(experiencing 60(why 61(successful 62(should 63(if 64(me 65(so 66(to 【解析】 57(考查时态。根据语境可知,consider这一动作从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在并且有可能继续下去,故用现在完成进行时。 58(考查疑问词。根据本句中及物动词gain可知,此处疑问词需要作宾语,故应用What。 59(考查动词-ing形式。根据句中and可知,空处所填词应与seeing并列,共同作介词in的宾语,故应用其动词-ing形式。 60(考查连词。根据语境可知,此处是让Maria解释原因,故用why。 61(考查词形转换。根据to be可知,空处应填形容词,因此填successful。 62(考查词形转换。根据to be可知,空处应填形容词,因此填successful。 63(考查连词。根据上下文可知,此处是if引导的条件状语从句。 64(考查代词。语境意为"我也相信旅游将会教我独立并且珍惜别人"。teach后常跟人称代词作宾语,再根据空前的I可知,此处应填me。 65(考查连词。上文"当你外出旅游时,你不能得到你家人的帮助"与下文"你必须依靠你的朋友,或者甚至求助于陌生人"之间构成因果关系,故用连词so。 66(考查介词。turn to...为固定搭配,意为"向……求助"。 【备注】本文是两人谈论未来的对话。旅游有许多好处,可以让人参观不同的地方,体验不同的文化,适应不同的观念,学习做事的方式,也可教人独立,珍惜他人。 六、书面表达:共1题 每题25分 共25分 67(在2015年1月9号上体育课时,高二(1)班的李英不小心摔伤,一位名叫李刚的同学立刻把她送到了校医院。作为校报记者请你就此写一则英文新闻发表在校报英文版上。 注意:1.词数100左右; 2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 【答案】On January 9th,2015,Li Ying from Class 1,Grade 2 got injured in the PE class.
