Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title. These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on womens looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride. And in Venezuela, they are almost a national obsession（狂热）. Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “Its just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.” Preparing for a contest is a full-time job that involves sixteen-hour days for six months. Many of the women take a leave of absence from their jobs during the training period“If you dont take this seriously, you dont have a chance.” Selena says. The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?” They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply makeup. Most of them grow their hair long and diet to lose at least 10 pounds. Many of them have their teeth straightened or have plastic surgery（整形外科手术）to straighten or fix other body parts. It isnt easy, and the contestants give up a lot for the contest. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. The training for the Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe contests can cost up to 60,000Fortunately the television station that sponsors the contest pays the costs of training the finalists. Yet most of the contestants say its worth the effort.36From the above passage we can infer that Venezuela is probably _.Aa place where contestants from all parts of the world gather togetherBa city in America where beauty contest is heldCa country in Latin AmericaDa world beauty center37Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?AContestants have to stay away from their work for a period of time before the contest.BOnly a few women won the contest without being trained.CBeauty isnt the only factor for a contestant to win the contest.DIts too much expense for individual to pay for the training for the contest.38Which of the following might not be done before Venezuelan women take the beauty contest?AThey have to go on a diet.BThey might have a physical operation. CThey have a lot of training both in walking and speaking.DThey have to pay a large amount of money for the contest.39What is the best title for the passage?ABeauty Means Money.BVenezuelan Womenthe Most Beautiful Women in the World.CHow to Succeed in the Beauty Contest.DTrainingthe Only Way to Success.

In her first year, she collected 80 pounds of food in the undeveloped neighborhood, and 214 pounds the next year. The food helped feed many poor families.

CIn todays world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to peoplehealth. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and this is harmful to peoplehealth, too. People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf today. However, scientist believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise, Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people ill or even drive them mad. It is said a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness. Now the government in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels. In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise problems.44. The text is mainly about _.

To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill. Ecopassages may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!48. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_.Aan increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents Bthe driving conditions have improved greatlyCthe measure for protecting wildlife fails to workDwild animals have become more dangerous49. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_.Aan underground path for cars Ba fence built for the safety of the areaCa bridge for animals to get over a river Da pass for animals to cross the road 50. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _.Awild animals may attack cars Bwild animals may jam the roadCthey may see wild animals in the park Dthey may see wild animals on ecopassages 20132014学年度第一学期期中考试高二年级英语试题第卷 （ 共45分 ）第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题 1 分，满分10分）1.Taking enough exercise is quite _（有益的） to our health, especially in spring. 2.Many students are fond of _ ( 政治)，because Teacher Gao is so interesting.3.It seems that the two countries are going to _( 宣布 ) war against each other.4.Ma Yili put forward _ ( 离婚 ), when Wen Zhang had an affair with Yao Di.5.Ma Yil
