Nothing is more satisfying than finding a perfect item - and when I m bored with shopping for clothes I move on to make-up and shoes. I never shop in sales - the reason the items haven t sold at full price is usually because they are badly made or horrible colours.-BlancaI hate shopping and it bores me enormously. I really cannot understand such a useless and expensive habit. I only shop for clothes when I can t get out of it and when I do, I make sure I buy good quality and as much as I can afford, to put off having to go again for as long as possible. I have friends who will spend a Whole day going from shop to shop trying on lots of different clothes and not buying anything. Thats really stupid.-PamI can t see the point in spending a lot of money on clothes, when they are so much cheaper abroad. I do most of my shopping when I go on holiday, and get great clothes for half the price. I love finding bargains! I also buy a lot in sales. The clothes may be out of fashion a bit, but they re good quality, and if you wait long enough, they come back into fashion!-MeghanI personally still spend half of my wage on clothes. I usually only ever wear something three times before I throw it in the back of my wardrobe (衣橱). I never wear a party dress more than once. If I lost my job and couldnt afford to buy lots of clothes, I would never be able to go out of the house again.-Shelly21. What does Pam focus on when shopping for clothes?A. Price. B. Brand.C.

Shelly.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。由第三段中的“I love finding bargains! I also buy a lot in sales”可知，Meghan喜欢寻找便宜的衣服，她经常买促销的衣服。故C选项切题。23. Which of the following can best describe Shelly?A. She has no taste for clothes.B. She is addicted to shopping.C. She is always leading the fashion.D.

Because this doesnt happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. Its time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and its time to keep our children from watching violence.24. What experts really worry is that .A. children spend too much time watching TVB. TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC. children become addicted to TV programsD. children have less time to do their homework【答案】B【解析】细节推断题。由第一段最后一句话“many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.”我们可知专家们担心的是电视暴力会对儿童有不好的影响；故选B。25.

What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Explain. B. Copy.C. Ignore. D. Avoid.【答案】B【解析】细节推断题。由第四段最后一句话“Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.”我们可知，儿童看电视可能会开始变得更加暴力，因此我们可以推断，儿童看到电视暴力，往往会模仿、“复制”电视上的暴力行为；故选B。27.

Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili-red pepper-in their dinner while others cant get enough of it.Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds too. But the latest study has found that a persons love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.We have always assumed that liking drives intake-we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits with intake of chili peppers, said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by peoples longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “Its not that it doesnt burn as badly, its that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained.28. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?A. dislike B. fearC. put up with D. adapt to【答案】A【解析】考查词义推测。根据句中Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili and others loathe it，loathe应该与love 想对应，所以dislike“不喜欢”符合。故A正确。29. What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalitiesB. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than femalesC. Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy foodD. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling【答案】C【解析】考查细节推理题。根据his got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by peoples longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.喜欢刺激，观看动作片或是坐过山车的人会更喜欢吃辣食，和倒数第二段中Researchers found that those who most tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water在研究中，发现那些倾向于看动作片和冒险的人有更大的可能性喜欢这种辣味的水，可以推测C符合，故选C。30. Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitiveB. Because they love the burning sensationC. Because they want to challenge themselvesD. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns【答案】B【解析】考查细节理解题。根据第四段的描述，辣味的食物会带来舌头燃烧的感觉和文章最后一句，人们喜欢吃辣食是因为人们喜欢燃烧的感觉。故B项正确。31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personalityB. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personalityC. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personalityD. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality【答案】B【解析】主旨大意题。文章讲的是通过研究表明，人们喜欢吃辣食跟一个人的个性有关，是因为喜欢刺激和舌头燃烧的感觉。故选B。D（辽宁省鞍山一中2016-2017学年高一下期中试题）The most exciting storms are the ones with flashes of lightning.Unfortunately,those are scarce,unless you are near the Catatumbo River in Northwestern Venezuela.Here,natures grandest sound and light show is often seen, because it happens about 160 nights a year.And it lasts for as long as 10 hours at a time.And unlike other lightning storms that cause just one or two flashes,this one is with as many as 280 per hour.It is the highest in the world. Besides,each one of them is so powerful that each can power every light bulb in South America.Not surprisingly,they can be seen for almost 250 miles.Fishermen and sailors often use them to guide them across the waters during dark nights.Whats even more surprising is that the lightning has been happening above the same spot where the Catatumbo River meets Lake Maracaibo for thousands of years.The best part is that the show is different every night.Thats because the color of the lightning changes,depending on the amount of water in the atmosphere.On dry nights,the lightning appears white.When the air is not dry,it helps split up the bright light into red,orange and even purple.Strangely enough,though this has been going on for centuries,scientists have still not been able to figure out the cause of this phenomenon.Some say that the storms are the result of the interaction of the areas unusual topography（地貌）,wind and heat.Others,however,believe that the storms are caused by a kind of gas in the area.The locals simply think that it is the spirit of Catatumbo that lights up the night sky.32. According to Paragraph 1,if we say something is scarce,we probably mean .A. it is far away B. it is very terribleC. it can be hardly seen D. it can be very dangerous【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段unless you are ear the Catatumbo River in Northwestern Venezuela可知这种闪电只有在这里才能看到，故相当“罕见”。故选C。33. We know that in Northwestern Venezuela, .A. people darent go out at nightB. it rains heavily almost every dayC. lightning is used to power light bulbsD. storms with flashes of lightning are common【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的Here, natures grandest sound and light show is often seen because it happens about 160 nights a year.可知这种带着闪电的暴风雨在这里非常频繁。故选D。34. What has the greatest influence on the colors of the lightning?A. The spot of the lightningB. The air of the lightning spotC. The color of the environmentD. The level of water in the Catatumbo River【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的On dry nights, the lightning appears white. When the air is not dry, it helps split up the bright light into red, orange and even purple.可知主要是由那里的空气决定的。故选B。35. From the last paragraph,we learn that .A. scientists will no longer study the lightning storms thereB. locals know about the lightning storms better than scientistsC. heat in Northwestern Venezuela is different from any other placeD. the reason why such lightning storms happen there is still unknown【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的Strangely enough, though this has been going on for centuries, scientists have still not been able to figure out the reason of this phenomenon.可知那里为什么有这种闪电还是个未解之谜。其他选项都属于对文章的错误判断。故选D。 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。 （吉林省实验中学2016-2017学年高一下期中试题）When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” _36_ Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves.

I had to be lying in order to _41_ home. My parents used to say that they were teaching me how to have a _42_ work ethic (职业道德). I didnt see the _43_ until last week.I was on the train and sat behind a young man who was _44_ to his friend about his life. His dream in life was to make movies but he wouldnt _45_ it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didnt want to _46_ time because it probably would take months or years to make it _27_. He then admitted to thinking about becoming a(n) _48_ because he thought he could easily make six figures within one year. His _49_ agreed because as he put it, “I have no _50_ to work long hours and not make much money. Besides, defending cases in court is good because you can make a lot of money and only work short hours.”Many people these days dont _51_ that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of _52_, determination and time have _53_ into it. It wasnt due to some unbelievable _54_. Someone once told me that you may know _55_ someone is an expert in his given field or not by how easy he makes it look. The _56_ it looks, the more hours go into it.There is no excuse for _57_. In the television show Fame, the dancer teacher told her students, “If you want fame, fame _58_ and heres how you start paying for it, in sweat.” Every time I watch that show, my dad would state how _59_ she was because in order to _60_ you have to work hard.
