His flat was on the ninth floor and he had to look up to see her. It was half-past six in the morning. He had been awakened by the sound of an aircraft flying dangerously low overhead, and had got out of bed to look. His sleepy eyes, moved from the blue sky which was empty of cloud, empty of anything but the bright disappearing arrow of the aircraft, and then rested on the hanging figure. 21教育网 He really thought he must be dreaming, for this sunrise time was the hour for dreams. Then, when he knew he wasn’t, he decided it must be a scene in a film. There were cameramen down there, a whole film unit, and all the correct safety precautions had been taken. Probably the girl wasn’t even a real girl, but a dummy(假人). He opened the window and looked down. The car park, paved courts, grass spaces between the blocks, all were deserted. On the balcony rail, one of the dummy’s hands moved, desperately. He had to believe then what was obviously happening. The girl was trying to kill herself. She had lost her courage and now was trying to stay alive. All these thoughts and conclusions of his occupied about thirty seconds. Then he acted. He picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number for the police. ‎ 高一英语试卷第19 页（共8页）‎ The arrival of the police cars and the rescue of the girl became the focus of talk for the people of the two blocks. Someone found out that it was he who had called the police and he became an unwilling hero. He was a modest, quiet young man, and was in relief when the talk began to die away. Again he was able to enter and leave his flat without being pointed at as a kind of St George and sometimes even congratulated. ‎ About a fortnight after that morning, he was getting ready to go to the theatre, just putting on his overcoat, when the doorbell rang. He didn’t recognize the girl who stood outside. He had never seen her face. She said, “I’m Lydia Simpson. You saved my life. I’ve come to thank you.”‎ ‎28. What did the man do first after he got up? ‎ A. He looked down from the window. B. He hurried to check who was outside.‎ C. He called the police to save the girl. D. He went to see the noisy aircraft.‎ ‎29. The moment the man saw the girl hanging there, he felt it was _________. 2·1·‎ A. scaring B. unbelievable C. desperate D. dangerous ‎ ‎30. We can learn from the passage that _________ . ‎ A. the police arrived quickly on the scene. B. the girl was unwilling to be rescued ‎ C. the man disliked to be talked about. D. the girl was actually an actress in a film ‎31. What can we know from the passage?‎ A. The girl was determined to kill herself. ‎ B. The man rescued the girl by chance.‎ C. The girl was in danger because of the plane.‎ D. The man helped the girl climb back to her house.‎ D There is a very long list of rules for the New York City subway. Don’t put your feet on a seat, don’t carry open cups of coffee or soda, don’t take more than one seat... Those are just a few of the rules. There are hundreds more. With so many rules, why is it still unpleasant to ride the subway?‎ Some people think that the problem is that no one enforces(强制执行) the rules. Other passengers sometimes try to enforce rules. But you can’t rely on them because New Yorkers have unwritten rules against talking to strangers and making eye contact with strangers. How can you tell 高一英语试卷第19 页（共8页）‎ ‎ someone to take her shopping bags off the seat and throw away her Coke without talking to her or looking at her? It is difficult.‎ There are other New Yorkers who think that the subway is unpleasant because there are not enough rules. One rider wrote a letter to The New York Times a couple of weeks ago suggesting a few more subway rules. Here are some of the rules that she would like to see:‎ ‎—Don’t lean on the poles. You prevent other people from holding on. They can fall down.‎ ‎—Talk quietly. The trains are already too noisy.‎ ‎—Give your seat to elderly passengers or to parents with small children.‎ If those unwritten rules of etiquette are written down, will the rude people be more likely to follow them? It doesn’t make sense to make more rules that no one will enforce.‎ The real problem is that we are forgetting how to be nice to each other. It is embarrassing that we need a rule to tell us to give our seat to elderly passengers. Nobody should need to be reminded to do that.‎ I say we stop talking about the rules and try to remember our manners. Let’s be nice to each other not because a police officer might tell us to get off the train, but because it is the right thing to do. Then New York City would be more civilized —both above ground and below.‎ ‎32. Don’t make eye contact and don’t talk to strangers are examples of .‎ A. New York subway rules B. behavioral habits in New York City C personal preferences on the subway D. unpleasant experiences on the subway ‎33.In the writer’s opinion, what measures should be taken?‎ A. The government should set stricter rules.‎ B. The government should employ more police.‎ C. Everyone should take better care of their behavior.‎ D. The citizens should ride the subway less.‎ ‎34.The underlined word “etiquette” is closest in meaning to .‎ A. moods B. phenomena C. festivals D. manners ‎35.The author wrote this article in order to .‎ A. introduce an unwritten rule for New Yorkers B. describe an unpleasant ride on the subway C. describe a real problem of disorder in the New York City D. give a civilized suggestion on improving the riding environment 高一英语试卷第19 页（共8页）‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ You are out of work. You hate your job. 36 You are looking for your first job. Where do you start?‎ If you are like most Americans, you’ll probably email your resume to a lot of companies. You might search for job postings on the Internet. But experts say you won’t have much luck.‎ One thing you can do is read Richard Bolles’s What Color Is Your Parachute? This book is different from other job-hunting manuals. Bolles helps you find your ideal job: a job that fits you, a job that makes you happy. What kind of job is ideal for you? You need to have a clear picture in your mind of the job you want. 37 Bolles says that you must think about three things before you can find your ideal job:‎ ‎1.Your skills. What do you like to do? What do you do well? Are you good at talking to groups? Growing vegetables? Teaching? Drawing on the computer? 38 For example, a mother of four children is probably good at managing people (children!). This woman may be a good manager.‎ ‎2. 39 Where do you like to work? Do you like to work outside? At home? In an office? Alone or with others? What kinds of people do you like to work with?‎ ‎3. Job rewards. How much money do you need? How much money do you want? Do you need a lot of vacation time? 40 What makes you feel good about a job?‎ So, if you are looking for a job or if you have a job but want a new one, remember: Don’t just email your resume out to every company. Don’t just answer Internet job postings. And don’t wait for friends to give you a job.‎ A. Job description.‎ B. Job setting.‎ C. You aren’t satisfied with your career.‎ D. What else do you want from a job?‎ E. The book was first written in1970.‎ F. Bolles asks you to think about all your skills.‎ G. The book has many exercises to help you draw this picture.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 高一英语试卷第19 页（共8页）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I still remember an old lady, a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was 12 years old.

The son thought to himself: If I am old, how will my son look at me? Will they think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?‎ Feeling ashamed, the son looked at his father and held his hands gently. He made an apology, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said: “I am sorry, father. It is you who have cared me ever since I was a child, showing your selfless affection on me. Now it’s my turn to look after you.” With tears in the eyes, they hugged each other tightly. ‎ 附1.应用文评分标准：‎ ‎ 二、读后续写评分标准：‎ ‎ (1)评分原则 ‎ ①总分为 25 分，按 5 个档次给分。各档次的给分范围和要求见表1。‎ ‎ ②评分时，先根据所续写短文的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。‎ ‎ ③词数少于130的，从总分中成去2分。‎ ‎ ④评分时，主要考虑以下四个维度：与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；内容的丰富性和对所给关键词语的覆盖情况；应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性；上下文的连贯性。‎ ‎ ⑤书写与标点符号是语言难确性的一个重要方面。评分时，应视其对文际的影响程度予以考虑。不同英、美拼写相同汇用法均可。‎ ‎ ⑥如书写较差以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。‎ ‎（2）表1. 高考“读后续写”题各档次给分范围及要求 第五档（21-25分）‎ ‎1.与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理；‎ ‎2.内容丰富；‎ ‎3.所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达；‎ 高一英语试卷第19 页（共8页）‎ ‎4.有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第四档（16-20分）‎ ‎1.与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理；‎ ‎2.内容比较丰富；‎ ‎3.所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达；‎ ‎4.比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第三档（11-15分）‎ ‎1.与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接；‎ ‎2.写出了若干有关内容；‎ ‎3.应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义的表达；‎ 第二档（6-10分）‎ ‎1.与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接；‎ ‎2.写出了一些有关内容；‎ ‎3.语法结构单调、词汇项目有限，有些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的表达；‎ ‎4.较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性。‎ 第一档（1-5分）‎ ‎1.与所给短文和开头语的衔接较差；‎ ‎2.产出内容太少；‎ ‎3.语法结构单调、词汇项目很有限，有较多语法结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达；‎ ‎4.缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。‎ ‎0分 白卷、内容太少无法判断或所写内容与所提供内容无关。‎ 听力材料 Text 1‎ M: Hello.
