Many people will travel great distances in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air.‎ One of these is a condition called hypoxia (缺氧症). It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground. Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues (组织) in the lungs and reach the bloodstream.‎ The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body.‎ One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache. When this happens, the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can make the traveler feel tired.‎ These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems. They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.‎ Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body’s ability to use oxygen. So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying.‎ 1. The author writes the passage mainly to ___.‎ A. warn people in airplanes of possible dangers B. offer some advice on avoiding health problems C. explain the causes and effects of hypoxia D. advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol 2. According to the passage, what leads to hypoxia?‎ A. The brain lacks enough oxygen.‎ B. The air pressure in a plane is too high C. Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff.‎ D. The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules. 3. The underlined part “fix the situation” means “___”.‎ A. use more oxygen it needs B. increase the air pressure C. reduce the amount of blood D. bump more blood to the brain ‎4. Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying? A. They weaken the body’s ability to use oxygen.‎ B. Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane.‎ C. Drinking alcohol may raise one’s blood pressure.‎ D. Drinking is forbidden at the airport.‎ B Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.‎ No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.‎ There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if they don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.‎ 5. The first paragraph tells us __________.‎ A. none needs friends B. we always need friends around us C. making friends is the need in people's life D. we need to be alone 6. Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage? A. People are happy when their friends leave them.‎ B. People may never see their friends after their friends move away.‎ 南木林高中高二英语考试试卷 第 1页/（共 8页） 南木林高中高二英语考试试卷 第 2页/（共 8页）‎ C. People having friends can live longer than those who don’t.‎ D.

One day , Mrs. O’Neil gave a maths test to our class . When the papers were marked , she found that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test .‎ There is nothing new about cheating in exams . Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neil didn’t even say one word about it . She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class . I was one of the twelve .‎ Mrs. O’Neil asked no questions , and she didn’t scold us , either . Instead , she wrote the following words on the blackboard : On your way home you find some money and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out .

What will you do ?‎ She then ordered us to write down the question , and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own answer to it .‎ I don’t know about the other eleven children . Speaking for myself I can say : it was the most important single thing of my life. From then on , I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a decision .‎ Because of this , Mrs .

It's an excellent Chinese cartoon, which tells the stories of happy sheep and gray wolf. The poor gray wolf is always trying hard to catch the sheep, but the sheep could always run away from the danger. The sheep are so clever and lovely that the cartoon gets all the children's love. At the same time, the cartoon is full of humor. The children could learn more knowledge and enjoyment from it.‎ The cartoon is shown repeatedly on many TV channels.The Zhejiang Channel broadcasts the cartoon on weekends and the vacations; the Sichuan Channel broadcasts the cartoon for an hour in the evening; the Shandong Channel broadcasts it in the morning, while CCTV-3 broadcasts it at noon every day.‎ On one hand, the cartoon gets the children's love because the happy sheep is really clever. He always has a way to work out any problem and save his friends. What’s more , there're many things about happy sheep and gray wolf, such as the books, the toys, the pencil-box, the clothings, and so on. Children are happy to buy them. On the other hand, many adults (大人) also like the cartoon, for the gray wolf is regarded as the perfect husband with skills and effort. He invents many things just to catch a sheep for his wife. Though he is often hit by his wife, he always makes her happy without complaining (抱怨).‎ We can learn more from the cartoon, including the skills, the stories, the details, the humor, and so on. We could see the humor of Chinese type during the cartoon. But I don't like its being shown so often. It may make the children spend more time on watching TV and it is bad for their health and study.‎ 13.
