民乐一中2015—2016学年第一学期高二(4)部寒假作业 ‎ 英语（四） 2016年 月 日 第一节 (共15小题；每小题 2 分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A It was the end of my junior year. I was riding around that night with some friends. There happened to be a bottle of alcohol in the car. Everyone was taking swigs (一大口). Then the bottle got to me. With the bottle in my hand, I wondered what I should do. I hesitated for a while but finally I took a swig. That was the biggest mistake in my life—I had to drive home later that night. ‎ We arrived at my friends’ house and watched a movie. About an hour later, I got into my car and drove home. It was not long before I saw a stop sign. I pulled over and a policeman went to me. He said, “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” He took them, and then he asked me to step out of my car. ‎ ‎“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot and lift my right foot six inches off the ground, and hold it for thirty seconds. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not the most coordinated (协调性好的) person. So, needless to say, I didn’t do the best in that test. Then he had me look right while he shone a bright light in my eyes. Finally, he asked me to take a breathalyzer (呼吸测醉器) test.‎ That’s where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to. The policeman asked me three more times, but I continued to refuse. ‎ He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. I thought that he was going to pat me down, but I was wrong. All of a sudden I felt cold metal on my wrists. He arrested me right then and there! If only I had known what would happen!‎ Two months later, I went to court. I was charged with a refusal. I got $‎700 in fines, forty hours of community service. I would have to take the driving test again. And I lost my license for a whole year! ‎ This has been an impressive learning experience for me. Now I realize that it’s not right to drink and drive, and it definitely isn’t worth losing my license. I will never forget the painful lesson.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is the right order of what the policeman asked the author to do?‎ ‎ a. standing on one foot b. taking a breathalyzer test ‎ c. walking down the white line ‎ ‎ d. looking right with a bright light in the eyes ‎ A. a b c d B. c d a b ‎ C. d a b c D. c a d b ‎2. The author refused to ______.‎ ‎ A. take a breathalyzer test B. take a driving test ‎ C. get out of her car D. turn in her driving license ‎3. We can infer that when the author was arrested on the spot, she felt very ______.‎ ‎ A. annoyed B. shocked ‎ ‎ C. frightened D. excited B When most people talk of a classroom, they think of older people teaching younger ones. But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices, the opposite can often be true. That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia, Maryland. The 50 Plus‎ ‎Center provides free technology classes for adults aged 50 and older. The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children.‎ Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad. Ms. Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device and that she enjoys learning from younger people.‎ Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms. Stafford. He says, “You have to be really, really patient because some of them might not accept the knowledge as smoothly as others.” Meridy McCague, director of the 50 Plus Center, says, “As people are aging, their worlds get a little smaller. Some of them can no longer drive; some of them don’t get out to make long trips to visit their relatives. The program brings them back into Facebook and Skype. Now, they can do everything from ordering things from Amazon to ordering groceries or meals. Teaching senior citizens about technology can prove helpful for the economy. As seniors get more excited about using the technology, they’re going into the market place and buying some products. So that’s a boom in economy right there.”‎ Madison Lam is a 17-year-old teacher of the technology workshop. She says she also learns a lot from helping seniors.‎ Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen‎ ‎Center that operates the program. She says young people gain social skills from teaching older residents. This is something they need.‎ ‎4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Only older adults can be outstanding teachers.‎ ‎ B. Providing free classes for adults is an urgent need.‎ ‎ C. Learning high technology is necessary for children. ‎ ‎ D. The classes’ difference mainly lies in the teachers’ age.‎ ‎5. What is important when the young teach older adults?‎ ‎ A. Responsibility. B. Experience. C. Patience. D. Interest.‎ ‎6. Which of the following statements about the 50 Plus Center is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. The 50 Plus Center may bring benefits to the local economy.‎ ‎ B. There’s a strict limit to the teachers’ age in the 50 Plus Center.‎ ‎ C. The 50 Plus Center was founded to relieve the employment stress.‎ ‎ D. Low fees can offer the participants access to professional training. ‎ ‎7. What can be the best title of the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Older people’s worlds get a little smaller ‎ ‎ B. It’s wonderful learning from younger people ‎ C. Teens help seniors bridge technology gap ‎ D. Seniors get excited about using high-tech devices C Social media has become part of all our lives. It is a communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page. ‎ At our school, I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate appropriately and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet (转发) their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style. Students will learn a lot from the process.‎ Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.‎ So is the social media age restriction necessary? Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10, and 43 percent have sent messages to people they didn’t know by the age of 12. ‎ Of course, primary schools should be aware of dangers of social media. Measures should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school, we have a social media platform with a teacher’s dashboard (信息窗) where all activities can be monitored. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the victim. ‎ Over the past 28 years’ teaching, I have focused on computing. I am therefore very aware of the negative effects of social media on primary school students. However, social media offers learning ‎ and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we can not ignore the fact that elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grown-ups in the future. ‎ ‎8. The underlined phrase “sharpen up” can be replaced by “_____”.‎ ‎ A. prevent B. keep C. improve D. use ‎9. How does the author support his/her argument in the fourth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. By quotation. B. With proverbs. C. By comparison. D. With statistics.‎ ‎10. What message is implied in the fifth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Because of the dangers of social media, students should leave it aside.‎ ‎ B. Primary school teachers have priority to monitor their students’ behavior.‎ ‎ C. The primary students tend to send some harmful comments about their classmates.‎ ‎ D. The students’ access to the social media should be encouraged but the proper guide is necessary.‎ ‎11. The author believes that exposing students to the social media is _____.‎ ‎ A. harmful B. beneficial C. unnecessary D. wrong D Your every significant choice — every important decision you make — is determined by a force operating deep inside your mind: your perspective on time — your personal time zone. This is the most influential force in your life, yet you are almost unaware of it. Once you become aware of your personal time zone, you can begin to see and manage your life in new exciting ways. ‎ In The Time Paradox, Drs Zimbardo and Boyd cite thirty years of pioneering research to show, for the first time, how your individual time zone shapes your life and is shaped by the world around you. Further, they prove that your and every other individual’s time zones interact (相互作用) to create national cultures, economy, and personal destinies (命运).‎ You will discover what time zone you live in through Drs Zimbardo and Boyd’s revolutionary tests. Ask yourself:‎ ‎• Do you believe that nothing will ever change in your world?‎ ‎• Does the smell of fresh-baked cookies bring you back to your childhood?‎ ‎• Do you believe that life on earth is merely preparation for life after death?‎ ‎• Do you believe that the present is all and the future and past are mere abstractions (抽象概念)?‎ ‎• Do you wear a watch, balance your checkbook (支票簿), and make to-do lists every day?‎ These statements are the five most common ways people relate to time. The Time Paradox is a practical plan for optimizing your use of time in order that you can get the most out of every minute in your personal and professional life. If you make the best use of the book, you will be able to ‎ overcome the mental prejudices that keep you too attached to the past, too focused on immediate satisfaction, or unhealthily concerned about future goals. Time passes no matter what you do. It’s up to you to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. There are related discussions in the middle part of the book, which provide valuable suggestions about how to manage your time in a wise way.‎ ‎12. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the book The Time Paradox _____.‎ ‎ A. cites some numbers to support its point ‎ B. is the first book to introduce what the time zone is ‎ C. proves the great effects of individual time zones on one’s life ‎ D. explains how cultures, economy and personal destinies interact ‎13. Why does the author raise the five questions in the passage?‎ ‎ A. To explain how people use their time.‎ ‎ B. To provide some bases for self testing.‎ ‎ C. To show how to make the best of our time.‎ ‎ D. To support Drs Zimbardo and Boyd’s new finding.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined word “optimizing” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Examining thoroughly. B. Practicing frequently.‎ ‎ C. Improving greatly. D. Choosing wisely.‎ ‎15. What is most probably to be talked about in the paragraph that follows?‎ ‎ A. Answers to the above-mentioned questions.‎ ‎ B. The shortcomings of the book The Time Paradox.‎ ‎ C. How people’s time zones interact with each other.‎ ‎ D. Methods of spending time wisely mentioned in the book.‎ 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最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ While it’s wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, travelling alone is another experience. 16 ‎ ‎1. Meet new people People who are travelling alone appear more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk café or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach. 17 ‎ ‎2. Do everything you want and nothing you don’t want Have you ever been hesitant to enjoy a half-day spa you were longing for because you felt bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? 18 If you want to “waste” the day sitting ‎ at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won’t have to offer any explanation to anyone.‎ ‎3. It’s refreshing If traveling makes you a better, and smarter person, traveling alone makes you super-better and super-smarter. 19 However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you’ll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.‎ ‎4. Great service For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you’re traveling singly. 20 And it’s possible that when you make it known, you might get a better room or a free cocktail.‎ A. People tend to admire those who travel alone.‎ B. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening.‎ C. Here are four good reasons why you should try it.‎ D. The key is to keep an open mind and keep safety in mind.‎ E. Travelling alone makes you truly focus on your inner thoughts.‎ F. When you travel alone, you don’t need to entertain anyone but yourself.‎ G. If you find a favorite place when you’re alone, you can bring your partner along next time.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 (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)‎ We will welcome the summer solstice (夏至).
