More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.‎ Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.‎ Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.‎ ‎24. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that . ‎ A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervous ‎ C. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down ‎25. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?‎ a. send the cooled blood back to the brain ‎ b. stop the blood to the brain ‎ c. have the blood cooled down ‎ d. operate on the brain A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, b, d C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a ‎26. What mainly makes the brain operation possible?‎ A. Taking the blood out of the brain. B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.‎ C. Having the blood go through a machine. D. Lowering the brain’s temperature. ‎ C Twelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.‎ Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.‎ For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.‎ Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.‎ With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.‎ My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.‎ ‎27. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?‎ A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.‎ B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.‎ C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.‎ D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.‎ ‎28. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?‎ A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.‎ B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.‎ C. Because he went there to help the poor.‎ D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.‎ ‎29. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .‎ A. had lived with his relatives happily B. had won his degree in a university C. had been struggling financially D. had lost hope of facing the future ‎30. From his experience, the author learns that .‎ A. people can learn a lesson from difficulties ‎ B. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar city C. people should not give up even in trouble ‎ D. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others 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。 ‎ Avoid Internet Addiction ‎ 31 Many people suffer from addiction to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them. How can we prevent ourselves from going online too much?‎ Admit you have an addiction. 32 Realize more and more people in the world are becoming addicted. You are not the only one with this problem. Do not be embarrassed; find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.‎ ‎ Limit your computer time. Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. 33 Try using the computer at the library.

Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.‎ This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean, the children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.‎ The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband ’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight（武士） in shining armor（盔甲）.” He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”‎ The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn’t have enough money.‎ How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus? Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语：‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ That day my father and I went to our car and drove home without any tickets. ______________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 高一英语期中答案 ‎1—20 ACBCA BBACA ACCCB ABAAC ‎21-30 CBD；ABD；BBCD ‎ ‎31-35 EBGCD ‎36-55 ADBBC DCBBC DBDAB DACAA 56. kinds 57. seasons 58. to honor 59. belief 60.as 61. when 62.over 63. coming 64. renewal 65. a ‎ 作文范文 Dear Mike, ‎ ‎ How is everything going?. June 5th is World Environment Day, so our school organized the voluntary activity. Let me tell you about it.‎ ‎ On the morning of June 5th, we gathered in the People’s Square. Then, we carried out many activities. First, we performed a play about our environment, which attracted a lot of audience. After that, we gave out leaflets to passers-by to arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection. In the end, we picked up the litter and cleaned the chairs in the Square.‎ In my opinion, the activity is really meaningful. On the one hand, all of us have learned the importance of protecting the environment. On the other hand, we have not only done our part, but also encouraged other citizens to protect it.‎ Do you have such voluntary activities? Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Li Hua Paragraph 1‎ Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.’ The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on, he looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”‎ Paragraph 2‎ That day my father and I went to our car and drove home without any tickets .We didn’t go to ‎ the circus that night, when I asked dad why he did so, Dad said, “My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young.” He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we didn’t go without. Now, who wants an ice cream?”‎
