The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.‎ ‎ The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.‎ ‎ In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.‎ ‎ Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻).It sells more than 11 million copies every day. ‎ ‎53.

The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam.‎ B. English language newspaper sells more than 11 million copies every day.‎ ‎ C. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper in 1608.‎ ‎ D. The first daily English newspaper came out in March 1702.‎ B Imagine a worker who never gets tired. This employee needs no lunch hours or holidays. Working 24 hours a day is no problem. Best of all, he or she is both accurate and ‎ efficient. There are few mistakes and tasks are finished quickly.‎ Any manufacturer would want a worker like this in a factory. Many more products could be made and sold if workers never stopped. That’s why there are more and more robots at work today. Robots do a wide variety of tasks. They weld (焊接), drill, and paint new cars. They locate underwater pollution sites. Robots handle poisons. Most of their work is too dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant for people to do. By doing the dirty work, a robot is a worker’s helper, or aide.‎ Few robots look anything like people. They are machine. Like other pieces of machinery, they come in different shapes and sizes. The way they are built depends on the jobs they do. Most have a single arm that can lift things. Most are built to handle tools.‎ Each robot has a computer inside it. The computer tells it what to do. Skilled technicians enter directions into this computer. They are trained for this job.‎ The years ahead may be the era(时代) of robots. People are using them more and more. Already robots have explored active volcanoes and the ocean floor. Modern robots can maneuver in space. With their skillful movements, they can serve satellites that cannot be reached by humans. Some new uses will include harvesting crops and working in open pit mines. Robots can help us to live better and learn more about our world.‎ ‎57．What mentioned in this passage is really .‎ A．a hard-working worker B．a day-dreamer C．an advanced machine D．a manufacturer ‎58．Robots can do everything accurately and efficiently because .‎ A．they have brains 　　B．there are computers in them C．they are technicians D．the manufacturer is helping them ‎59．Why do we regard the years ahead as the era of robots? Because .‎ A．no human beings will live on earth B．robots will dominate the earth C．robots will do more and more jobs which people aren’t supposed to do D．humans needn’t do anything that robots can do ‎60．The underlined word “maneuver” means .‎ A．to move skillfully B．to sleep carefully ‎ ‎ C．to keep still D．to do everything perfectly ‎ C Smile, when making an introduction.‎ Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations. And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to ‎ each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.‎ ‎◎Always stand when making an introduction. When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.‎ ‎◎Always maintain eye contact while making an introduction. Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.‎ ‎◎Always introduce a person of lesser authority to one of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person’s name first. For example, when introducing your supervisor to a job candidate, you would give your supervisor’s name first. "Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?"‎ ‎◎In a situation where rank is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age. A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman. What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.‎ However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.‎ ‎61. The article gives you advice on _________.‎ A. how to make a self introduction B. how to make a proper introduction C. how to leave a good impression on people　 D. how to greet people in social situations ‎62. According to the passage, people will think you are ______ if you don’t make eye contact with them.‎ A. not honest B. not confident C. shy D. unfriendly ‎63. What should you do when you introduce a new worker to your boss?‎ A. You should not give your boss’ name. B. You should give the new worker’s name first.‎ C. You needn’t give your boss’ name. D. You should give your boss’ name first.‎ ‎64. If you forget the other person’s name, you’d better ________.‎ A. ask him / her directly B. apologize first and then ask him / her C. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourself D. consider his age first D Do you think that day dreaming is a waste of time? Probably so.‎ ‎“On the contrary.” says L. Giambra. an expert in psychology (心理学).　“Daydreaming is quite ‎ necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a consciousness (有意识). Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”‎ Early psychology experts paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. In the past daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980’s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book DAYDREAMING. Klinger says. “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures... Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”‎ Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in our life and find out a possible way of dealing with them.‎ Daydreams cannot be predicted. They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy. ‎ ‎65. What’s the writer’s opinion of daydreaming?‎ A. He agrees with the early experts in psychology. ‎ B. He agrees with L. Giambra and Eric Klinger.‎ C. He doesn’t prefer either side. ‎ D. He hasn’t formed his own idea yet. ‎ ‎66. Which of the following can lead to daydreams according to the text?‎ A. Absence of attention. B. Illness in mind. ‎ C. Lack of sleep at night. D. None of the above.‎ ‎67. Daydreams can be described as ______.‎ A. the mirror of one’s worries and wishes in life B. the unconscious state of mind C. some mental illnesses D. unusual thinking and feeling ‎68. After reading the passage we can conclude that _______.‎ A. daydreaming is neither harmful nor useful to daydreamers B. daydreams are not the same as, but similar to sleep dreams C. daydreaming is the result of dialogues between two persons.‎ D. daydreams are of great help to us in solving problems 厦门湖滨中学2010---2011学年第一学期期中 年段____ ____班级____ __座号__ ___姓名_____　　_ ____考试座位号_　　　　　　___‎ ‎_------------------------------------------------- 密　封　线 　内　不　要　作　答 ----------------------------------------------‎ 高二英语试卷　　答题卷 ‎　　　‎ 请将1-68题的答案填涂在答题卡上 题 号 第I卷 第II卷 总分 ‎150分 听 力 ‎30分 单 选 ‎12分 完 形 ‎20分 阅 读 ‎32分 选 词 ‎6分 完 完成 句 子 ‎15分 短文 填词 ‎10分 书 书面 表达 ‎25分 得分 V. 选词填空(选出适合的词完成句子，其中两项是多余的)：6分，每题1分 ‎（答案直接填在横线上）‎ put forward; lost sight of; concentrate on; 　supposed to; 　sped up; ‎ break down; leave out; 　　 so as to ‎ ‎69.

Most of us agree that music should be played. As is known to all, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, it can bring us relaxation after a busy class, which reduces tiredness. Listening to music makes us feel happy and nice as well.‎ On the contrary, some students are against it. In their opinion, they can’t get the expected result by playing music, for the break between classes is too short. What is needed during the break is peace instead of noise produced by the music. What’s worse, in class some students are still lost in the music they have heard during the break.‎ In my opinion, it’s good to play music during the class break. Whether it brings benefits to us depends on what kind of music is chosen.‎
