But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.‎ During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8～12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.‎ Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.‎ Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global ‎ warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.‎ Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.‎ Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.‎ ‎1．The text is mainly about___________.‎ A. rapid changes in earth’s temperature?‎ B. bad effects of global warming C. moving of a country to a new place D. reasons for lowland flooding ‎2．According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.‎ A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea C. continuous global warming D. rising sea levels ‎3．Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.‎ A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real ‎4．The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.‎ A. Australia B. New Zealand C. the Maldives D. the United States B ‎（本题8分）Attitudes to AIDS Now Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.‎ The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.‎ ‎"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.‎ The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.[]‎ Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:‎ ‎52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting th e message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs of complacency.‎ ‎5．What do activists worry about?‎ A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.‎ B. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.‎ C. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.‎ D. People may stop worrying about AIDS ‎6．According to the passage, people's attitude toward the cure of AIDS is A. optimistic. B. hopeless[]‎ C. pessimistic. D. realistic ‎7．The Gallup Poll shows that the number of people___________.‎ A. who suffer from the worst disease -- AIDS has fallen.‎ B. who think AIDS is the country's top health killer has fallen.‎ C. who worry about AIDS and health problems has fallen.‎ D. who think AIDS threatens the countryside has fallen.‎ ‎8．According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?‎ A. The country is making progress against AIDS.‎ B. More and more people die of AIDS now.‎ C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.‎ D. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.‎ ‎ C ‎（本题8分）A man who failed to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was pu t into prison. Yesterday he was set free after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (担保金) of $1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”‎ When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became friends to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”‎ He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.‎ ‎“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now.”‎ ‎9．Why was the man put into prison?‎ A. Because he refused to return the books that he had borrowed.‎ B. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.‎ C. Because he stole 700 children's books from the five different libraries.‎ D. Because he wanted to publish his story.‎ ‎10．How did the man treat books?‎ A. He treated them as his furniture.‎ B. He treated them as his own children.‎ C. He treated them as real people.‎ D. He treated them as his job.‎ ‎11．From the passage we can learn that the man is _____.‎ A. a thief B. crazy about books C. a writer D. unfortunate ‎12．What might happen after the man was set free?‎ A. He might stop borrowing books from libraries.‎ B. He might start a library of his own.‎ C. He might go on borrowing books from libraries.‎ D. He might return all his books to the libraries.]‎ ‎ D ‎（本题8分）Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she ‎ had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤）her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.‎ Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue（组织）taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植）to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.‎ When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her. "I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”‎ Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.‎ She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity's first summer camp. “ I will show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too.“ I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “ I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”‎ ‎13．What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?‎ A. They were friendly to her. B. They showed sympathy to her.‎ C. They were afraid of her. D. They looked down upon her.‎ ‎14．Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to .‎ A. face others' unkindness bravely B. hide their scars by proper dressing C. live a normal life D. recover quickly ‎15．What does the underlined word "permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?‎ A. necessary B. life-long C. difficult D. important ‎16．What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B. Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares C. Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl D. A seriously burned angel of Hope ‎ E ‎（本题8分）You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking.‎ ‎"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed," says a psychologist, "In order to take action, you have to work against them." Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.‎ ‎●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.‎ ‎●What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.‎ ‎●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.‎ ‎"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, 'It looks like we should do something.' Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you."‎ ‎17．According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?‎ A. They will call 110. ‎ B. They will offer help.‎ C. They will go on walking.‎ D. They will laugh at him.‎ ‎18． Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?‎ A. I'm not the very capable person. ‎ B. It looks like we should do something.‎ C. No one else is concerned. ‎ D. He doesn't really need my help.‎ ‎19． In order to offer your timely help, you need to .‎ A. go directly to the police station B. get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble C. ask others for help and call the police D. work against the first thoughts that stop you from offering help ‎20．The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers .‎ A. to give others a hand B. to be more able C. to explain their inaction ‎ D. to evaluate the situation 二、完形填空 ‎（本题30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A poor farmer had a friend 21 was famous for the 22 apple he grew. One day, his friend gave the farmer a(n) 23 and told him to 24 it home. The farmer was 25 with the gift, but when he got home he did not know 26 to plant it.‎ He was 27 that if he planted the tree 28 the road, the fruit would be stolen. If he planted the tree in one of his field, his neighbors would come and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take ‎ the fruit.‎ ‎ 29 he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. The farmer was very 31 of what he did. However, as time went on, he found that the tree didn’t 32 any fruit. He didn’t know without 33 and good soil, the tree soon 34 after he planted it. ‎ Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a 35 place. "What's the difference?" the farmer said 36 . "If I had planted the tree near the road, 37 would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my field, my neighbors would have come and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit."‎ ‎"Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have 38 the fruit. Now you not only have robbed every one 39 the fruit, but also you have 40 a good apple tree!"‎ ‎21．A. who B. whom C. which D. whose ‎22．A. beautiful B. wonderful C. bad D. usual ‎23．A. apple B. tree C. book D. shovel ‎24．A. bring B. fetch C. take D. reach ‎25．A. careful B. sad C. pleased D. busy ‎26．A. what B. how C. why D. where ‎27．A. confused B. happy C. afraid D. puzzled ‎28．A. near B. on C. in D. down ‎29．A. at night B. during their spare time C. at their convenience D. at noon ‎31．A. worried B. concerned C. embarrassed D. proud ‎32．A. take B. develop C. bear D. get ‎33．A. air B. sunlight C. water D. rain ‎34．A. ruined B. stopped C. destroyed D. died ‎35．A. strange B. special C. poor D. ill ‎36．A. angrily B. confidently C. seriously D. happily ‎37．A. neighbors B. strangers C. children D. farmers ‎38．A. got B. taken C. enjoyed D. owned ‎39．A. with B. of C. for D. off ‎40．A. destroyed B. stopped C. planted D. created 三、七选五 从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎（本题10分）“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation.41．Let’s cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.‎ ‎1. When you are receiving praise.‎ We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(谦逊的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something.42．‎ ‎2. When you are running late.‎ It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, I’m late.”43． Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.‎ ‎3. When you’re comforting someone.‎ When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say.44．‎ ‎4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反馈）.‎ Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 45．‎ A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.‎ B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.‎ C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.‎ D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.‎ E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.‎ F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.‎ G. That’s a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.‎ 四、单词拼写 ‎（本题20分）根据所给的中文或首字母提示，按照句子的要求填写适当的词，每空一词。‎ ‎46．After the match ,the judge _______ （宣布）that our team won the title.‎ ‎47．He thought it is his duty to help ordinary people _______(暴露) to the disease.‎ ‎48．His first speech as president made a strong _______（印象）on his audience.‎ ‎49． In the crash he suffered severe _________（伤） to the head and arms.‎ ‎50．We must ________ （致力于）our efforts on improving education.‎ ‎51．You task will be to examine the _______（可能）of constructing a new factory in China.‎ ‎52．Animals in zoos are not in their natural s_________.（环境）‎ ‎53．He had a badly s_______ （肿胀）ankle after falling down from the stairs.‎ ‎54．My brother a______ （获得）a knowledge of computers by careful study.‎ ‎55．I’m d______ （高兴）to hear of your success.‎ 五、书面表达 ‎（本题20分）在学校，对于我们学生来说，与老师建立良好的关系非常重要。请就“‎ 师生关系”这一主题用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，谈谈你的看法，内容包括：‎ ‎1. 良好的师生关系的重要性；‎ ‎2. 怎样培养良好的师生关系。‎ 注意：可适当发展，以使行文连贯。‎ 高二英语参考答案 ‎1 B 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 6．D7．B 8．B 9．A 10．C 11．B 12．C 13．D 14．A 15．B 16．D17．C ‎18．B 19．D 20．A 21．Ａ 22．Ｂ23．Ｂ24．Ｃ25．Ｃ26．Ｄ27．Ｃ28．Ａ29．Ａ31．Ｄ ‎32．Ｃ 33．Ｂ 34．Ｄ 35．Ｃ 36．Ａ 37．Ｂ 38．Ｃ 39．Ｂ 40．Ａ ‎41．C 42．F 43．E 44．D 45．G ‎46．announced ‎47．exposed ‎48．impression ‎49．injuries ‎50．concentrate ‎51．possibility ‎52．surroundings ‎53．swollen ‎54．acquired ‎55．delighted 书面表达 ‎ Good relationships between our teachers and us play an important part in our study and life.

On the other hand, our teachers should not only be kind, friendly and patient to us, but also treat each student fairly and equally. They must be responsible for their teaching and ready to help us when we are in trouble. In a word, if teachers and we are willing to do their best, the relationship between us will be quite beneficial.‎
