But as I built up 21 , my friends encouraged me to try some 22 trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile ride, an annual 23 that raises money to fight cancer.‎ When I registered, the idea seemed excellent – to support a 24 cause while riding for a long distance. But 25 the time for the ride approached, my self-doubt gained ground(优势) 26 my determination. As a matter of fact, though I 27 want to raise money for the charity, I didn’t really want to bike all those miles for two days 28 .‎ The ride began on a Sunday morning, and for the first few hours I felt wonderful. This was just the experience I had imagined, and my spirits were high. But by the end of the day, I felt tired and 29 .‎ If the body is connected to the mind, here is proof in action.‎ Every 30 my brain pushed out seemed to travel right down to my legs. “I can’t 31 this”, “I’ve got a cramp(抽筋)”, and “everyone else is a better rider” 32 into shortness of breath. I was sure I’d have to quit.‎ Then I 33 that the lone rider in front of me looked different 34 . But she was too far away for me to 35 why. And so I pushed myself to 36 . There she was, riding along slowly but 37 , with a slight and determined smile on her face and she had only one leg.‎ My 38 changed in that instant. For a whole day I’d been 39 my body. But now I knew it was the ‎ ‎·11·‎ ‎40 that would help me reach my goal.‎ It rained all the second day. But I pushed on without complaining.

So for three years, I attended a local college. While I still enjoyed having my family close by and eating home-cooked meals, I often found myself wondering what it would be like if I had got that “college experience”.‎ ‎·11·‎ Overall, my most difficult challenge was securing my privacy. If I was on the phone with a friend late at night, I had to leave my room. Each place I could stay in, including my room, was somehow a place that belonged to someone else. Despite the difficulties, though, there was always something to do and someone to hang out with.‎ All in all, I found that my dorm life and my home life had equal pros and cons. And while my short-lived experience differed from that of most others going away for the first time, it became a very real and unforgettable “college experience”.‎ ‎41. Why did the writer choose a local college?‎ A. Because she didn’t want to leave her parents.‎ B. Because she didn’t have many choices as her scores were poor.‎ C. Because her parents didn’t allow her to leave home.‎ D. Because she was too young to live alone.‎ ‎42. We can learn from the passage that the writer ________.‎ A. always wanted to try living in a dormitory B. got used to dormitory life easily C. enjoyed complete freedom in the dormitory D. didn’t get along well with her roommate ‎43. The writer often felt tired when she was living in the dormitory because ________.‎ A. she couldn’t have naps during the day B. she had to do a lot more chores C. she often talked on the phone with a friend at night D. her roommate’s schedule affected her sleeping ‎44. After living in a dormitory the writer thought _________.‎ A. living in a dormitory was better than living at home B. living at home was better than living in a dormitory C. dormitory life was disappointing D. living in a dormitory had many advantages ‎45. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Reasons for living in a dormitory.‎ ‎ B. My first dormitory life experience.‎ ‎ C. Live at home or in a dormitory?‎ ‎ D. Tips for living in a dormitory.‎ B ‎·11·‎ ‎______________‎ Ideally, if one is not employed, then he / she would spend more time watching TV. However, what if the financial state of that unemployed person makes him / her unable to afford to watch TV? That’s the kind of financial state many people are in today. Those who had taken a housing loan and were hit by the economic crisis moved back to live with their families. ‎ A lot of questions have been raised on how the decreasing TV viewership is going to hit the television industry. There has been a shift in television advertisements to other carriers. Restaurants, newspapers and websites are now receiving more advertisements. This will definitely decrease the money earned by the TV industry. But in the long run, because of the increasing competition with the web, there will be more creativity. This will only improve the content seen by the viewers.‎ ‎ However, TV will always remain as a must-have thing in every home. A TV brings people together. A TV will always be preferred for enjoying live soccer matches, new TV series and your favorite movies. A computer may be your personal equipment but a TV serves to be a family attraction.‎ ‎46. It can be inferred in the first paragraph that__________.‎ A. surfing the Internet is more popular than watching TV B. watching TV is harmful to our health C. there are many different creative programs on TV D. TV is losing its popularity ‎47. What’s the best title for the third paragraph?‎ A. There are more choices for entertainment.‎ B. Unemployment is affecting TV viewership.‎ C.

The TV industry loses some money.‎ ‎ B. The TV industry will finally disappear.‎ ‎ C. The Internet becomes the largest medium.‎ ‎ D. Other media become less connected with TV.‎ ‎49. We can learn from the last paragraph that__________. ‎ ‎ A. TV is still the most popular medium ‎ B. the TV industry needs more competition ‎ C. TV won’t be replaced by the Internet ‎ D. the TV industry has more creativity than other media ‎50. In which part of a magazine would you most probably find the passage?‎ ‎ A. Education B. Entertainment C. History D. Figures C Grandpa Nybakken loved life—especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing.‎ Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his ‎·11·‎ ‎ church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His search proved fruitless.‎ Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!‎ The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.‎ ‎“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”‎ Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago．Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation（教堂会众）.‎ ‎“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”‎ ‎“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this．Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”‎ The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses．But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.‎ But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.‎ ‎51. Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage?‎ A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.‎ B. He had a large family to support.‎ ‎ C.

Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Grandfather’s life. B. The Helpful Donation.‎ ‎ C. The Perfect Mistake. D. An Impressive Speech.‎ D ‎·11·‎ Our hair can show physical and emotional well-being, desirability, and even social and financial status. When it becomes dull or brittle, it can communicate emotional and／or physical diseases. But hair can also show unrecognized and often unspoken daydreams about oneself and one’s world. One woman—a successful professional—wore her long hair in a thick bun( 发髻). But one day she showed me that tangled, knotted hair was confined in the bun. She said that she never brushed out the tangles because the hair showed her secret image of herself as a helpless, disturbed woman, like Ophelia in the play Hamlet.‎ Another woman came to therapy in a huge shirt and huge pants that she believed hid the weight she had put on since the birth of her child. She talked about how much she hated her body and how helpless she felt about doing anything about it. But her hair was always beautifully colored and groomed. When I pointed out that she seemed to have a different relationship with her hair from she did with her body, she said that her hair had been thinning sand that she was trying to make it look as good as she could. I pointed out that what she was doing with her hair and her body was kind of contradictory(矛盾的), and wondered if she had any thoughts about that.‎ She was surprised. But as we talked about her contradictory attitudes towards different parts of her physical self, we began to open up all sorts of other thoughts and ideas about her inner self. And interestingly, as we continued opening those internal doors, changes started to happen. She started eating differently and exercising regularly. One day some months later, she appeared in my office in skinny jeans and a tight sweater, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. “I decided to see what would happen if I stopped trying to hide myself,” she said with a big smile. “ And…?” I asked. “People keep smiling at me in the street. My husband hugged me this morning for the first time in ages. And I feel good!”‎ Besides, self-esteem in both men and women can be damaged by thinning hair; they may feel alone even though they are really not. Given our cultural focus on physical appearance, youth, and health, hair loss can be unpleasant for both men and women. The market is filled with hair-enhancing treatments, but there are those who have decided to be against the system and change to the “bald is beautiful” position. But it is much harder for women to take the “bald is beautiful” approach to hair loss. We tend to try to hide it in one way or another.‎ But no matter what approach you use, it is important to remember that the thickness of your hair has nothing to do with your value in the world. Remember that you have nothing to be ashamed of if you have thinning hair. Thinning hair may not be something you can change, but it doesn’t have to control how you represent the person who lives underneath it.‎ ‎·11·‎ ‎55. In the 1960s, long hair represented__________. ‎ ‎ A. freedom B. fashion C. peace D. honesty ‎56. Why does the author ask clients questions about their hairstyle?‎ ‎ A.

Because this is a topic most people are interested in. ‎ ‎57. The author mentioned stories of two women in order to__________. ‎ ‎ A. introduce the topic B. prove her idea ‎ C. make comparisons D. stress the importance of good hair ‎58.

Try to act like the locals as much as possible.‎ ‎62. _________‎ ‎·11·‎ Don’t be distracted as you are traveling.

Thieves may try to distract you by asking for directions while their fellow thieves take your cash. Stay alert when talking with strangers.‎ ‎65. __________‎ Put money in different pockets.

Also consider pinning your cash to the inside of your pockets. Keep large amounts of cash and most credit cards in your hotel when traveling. Avoid pulling out large amounts of cash which may attract attention.‎ 第II卷（共40分）‎ 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节：短文改错（共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 下面短文中有10处语法错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写上该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎ 2.只允许修改10处，多者（从11处起）不计分。‎ A lot of people thought that teachers need to love our students and that they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects. These ideas are, of course, true to a certain degree and they are perhaps a little of too simple. It is impossible for anyone love everyone they know, and teachers deal with the large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers could certainly be able to make their students feel that they are concerning. A good knowledge of the subject is extremely important, but equal important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively—a teacher need to be trained in the skills of teaching.‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分30分）‎ ‎ 假设你是李华。最近你发现你的好友林涛经常不参加学校组织的课间跑操活动。请根据以下要点，用英语给他写封信，交流对体育锻炼的看法。‎ ‎1、表明自己的看法；2、简要说明原因；3、提供建议和帮助。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1、可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ ‎2、词数：100－120。‎ Dear Lin Tao,‎ ‎·11·‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 知恩中学 桃源书院 ‎ 2012学年第一学期第二次阶段性考试 高三英语答案 选择题 单项（每题1分）‎ ‎1-5 DDCAA ‎6-10 BADAC ‎11-15 DCADC ‎16-20CDACB 完形（每题1分）‎ ‎21-25 DCCCC ‎26-30 CCABB ‎31-35 CBACB ‎36-40 ABDDB 阅读（每题2分）‎ ‎41-45CADDB ‎46-50 DBACB ‎51-54 CDCC ‎55-60 ABBCAD ‎61-65 BAFDE 短文改错（10分）‎ 参考范文：（30分）‎ Dear Lin Tao,‎ I’m very sorry to find that you are often absent from the running organized by our school during the break time.‎ ‎·11·‎ In my opinion, it is not good for you to do so.
