According to the text, Panama is a destination which .‎ A. is not as famous as the other three B. you can go to for enjoying surfing C. offers an option to hike in the park D. takes the most time of the four tours B My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious people. We switched our light bulbs to CFL(compact fluorescent light)bulbs to conserve energy. We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances that weren’t in use. But the rate of global warming exceeded our snail’s pace transition to greenhood. So I pressed onward．‎ I decided to put veganism(素食主义)at the top of our agenda. Vegans refuse any animal flesh or commercial goods made from any animal byproducts such as milk or fats. All the family applauded this option except for my husband. Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it wasn’t dinner. I cooked up a storm，struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not-so-obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos and high-fiber vegetable stir-fry．It took a few days before he realized that he hadn’t been eating any meat．‎ ‎“I feel like eating beef.”he announced. So that night, I took full advantage of a zucchini (一种南瓜)，cut it into chunky(粗大的)pieces and cooked them. Then I covered them with spices. My beef-starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face．‎ ‎“Where’s the beef?”‎ ‎“Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs．”‎ ‎“I knew it”he whispered. “You’ve surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle.”His taste buds were developed completely around the flavor of every kind ofanimal: cattle, pigs, deer, lamb, chickens and ducks. Transforming him was like feeding grass to a lion．‎ I’m all for preserving our planet, but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrow’s generation if today’s died of starvation? The next day, we went out for burgers. I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin．‎ ‎24．Which of the following best explains“exceeded”underlined in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Defeated． B. Absorbed． C. Bound． D. Distributed．‎ ‎25．What do we know about the author’s husband from Paragraph 2?‎ A. He supported the meat-free diet． B. He was a preserver of animals．‎ C. He was regarded as a meat Lover． D. He played a dominant role in cooking．‎ ‎26．What do we know about the author?‎ A. She had a good sense of humor． B. She successfully transformed her husband．‎ C. She advocated raising more cattle． D. She had a perfect recipe for cooking meals．‎ ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Hunger or Anger? B. Discrimination or Appreciation?‎ C. Vegetables or Marbles? D. Greens or Lions?‎ C The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills. Rather, it's their enormous capability for joy. A friend told me a story. One day, when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice, her kid greeted her with舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页)‎ a sad face. The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sadness. But before reaching the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk. “Mom, come here! This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen. It has ,like, a million legs. It’s amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitement．‎ Nowadays, however, when we walk into a classroom, especially in a high school, we’ll be choked by towering books and papers, and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures, pens in hand, minds dry, just as the hollow men portrayed by T. S. Eliot. Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades. Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．‎ Although joy is an unaffordable luxury in today’s increasingly fierce competition, administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities, like perseverance and obligation. The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．‎ Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine: unpleasant, but necessary and good for you. Why not think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?‎ ‎28．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?‎ A. By describing a procedure． B. By analyzing the process．‎ C. By giving an example． D. By collecting data．‎ ‎29．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? ‎ A. Summarize the previous paragraph． B. Provide some advice for the readers．‎ C. Introduce the main topic for discussion． D. Clarify some puzzling questions．‎ ‎30．What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do?‎ A. Stop giving students homework．‎ B. Involve students in meaningful activities．‎ C. Supply students with luxuries．‎ D. Arouse students’fond memories．‎ ‎31．What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Joy is the spokesperson for learning． B. Pleasure is the enemy of progress．‎ C. Education is the paradise for parents． D. Exams are a never-ending war．‎ D London (CNN) There is no God -- that's the conclusion of the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking, whose final book is published Tuesday. The book Brief Answers to the Big Questions, which was completed by his family after his death, presents answers to the questions that Hawking said he received most during his time on Earth.‎ Other bombshells the British scientist left his readers with include the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans and time travel can't be ruled out.‎ ‎"There is no God. No one directs the universe," he writes in the book."For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse by God," he adds. "I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature."‎ While Hawking spoke of his lack of belief in God during his life, several of his other answers are more surprising."There are forms of intelligent life out there," he writes. "We need to be cautious about answering back until we have developed a bit further."‎ ‎"Travel back in time can't be ruled out according to our present understanding," he says. He also predicts that "within the next hundred years we will be able to travel to anywhere in the Solar System."‎ In remarks prepared by Hawking and played at the launch of the book in London on Monday, the scientist also turned his attention to the world he was leaving behind. His greatest concern, his daughter said, "is how divided we've become," adding ,"He makes this comment about how we seem to have lost the ability to look outward, and we are increasingly looking inward to ourselves."‎ Hawking's final message to readers, though, is a hopeful one. Attempting to answer the question "How do we shape the future?", the scientist writes, "Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet."‎ ‎32. Which question is NOT probably included in the book Brief Answers to the Big Questions,?‎ A. Is there Alien life? B. Does the solar system exist?‎ C. Is time travel possible? D. Does anyone direct the universe?‎ ‎33. Hawking mentioned his disability in his book to________.‎ A. show his confidence. B. complain of God.‎ C. tell readers about his hardship. D. support his disbelief in God.‎ ‎34. What was Hawking most concerned about?‎ A. Artificial intelligence will outsmart humans. B. Allen life will come to the earth some day.‎ C. Technology will destroy the world. D. Human beings are not united.‎ ‎35. What did Hawking suggest human beings do?‎ A. Contact alien life. B. Explore the universe.‎ C. Develop the earth. D. Respect artificial intelligence.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的舒中高二统考英语 第5页 (共10页)‎ 最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? ____36____‎ You know that there’s always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. ____37____‎ To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.‎ ‎____38____ The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy high-quality fresh food regularly.‎ ‎____39____ If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food, they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.‎ In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. ____40____‎ So, if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.‎ A. Cooking skills may be another factor.‎ B. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.‎ C. Living with a roommate could be a good thing because a roommate can share your expenses and contribute to your home’s maintenance.‎ D. For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.‎ E. What could explain these findings?‎ F. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t grate on your nerves, has a similar cleanliness level as you and goes to bed at the same time.‎ G. However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The room in the workhouse where the boys were fed was a large stone hall, and at one end the master and two women served the food.
