山东省泰安市2014届高三上学期期末考试
As a little boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania . 16 by miles of winding stonewalls, the house and barn provided endless hours of 17 for a city kid like me.
I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I’d wanted more than anything to be 18 to climb the stonewalls surrounding the farm. My parents would never 19 . Still, my desire to climb across those walls grew so 20 . One spring afternoon, I picked up all my 21 and entered the living room, where the adults had 22 after dinner.
“Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked 23 , Instantly the women in the room cried. “Heavens, no!” You’ll 24 yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the 25 was just as I’d expected. But 26 I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather. “Hold on just a minute.” I heard him say, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls, He has to 27 to do things for himself.”.
“Scoot(快走), ” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back ” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the 28 of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my 29 . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a 30 day just by being yourself .

江西省宜春市上高二中2013-2014学年高二上学期第二次月考试题
Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.
Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can you’re your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means b eing afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
1. The passage is intended to tell us that ______ .
A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
B. many English expressions contain the word “cold”
C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions
D. the word “cold” has many different meanings in English
2. The underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.
A. impolite B. illegal C. cruel D. extreme
3. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer
anything to others?
A. Cold-blooded. B. To get cold feet. C. A cold shoulder. D. A cold fish.
4. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.
A. is given the cold shoulder B. is left out in the cold21世纪教育网
C. has got cold feet D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer
5. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______ .
A. all the expressions containing the word “cold” have a negative meaning
B. all the expressions containing the word “cold” have something to do with cold
C. people who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood
D. many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold

江西省宜春市上高二中2013-2014学年高二上学期第二次月考试题
Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone’s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:”60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
6. Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?
A . To introduce the topic for discussion.
B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C. To warn us that we should be careful.
D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
7. The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means “ ” .
A. habits of using mobile phones B. fear of losing mobile phones
C. eagerness for new mobile phones D. independence of mobile phones
8. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A. Avoiding using a phone for some time
B. Learning more about modern technology
C. Protecting one’s phone against any damage
D. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work
9. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.
C. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintances.
D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Attitude toward mobile phones B. New mobile phone technology
C. Disadvantages of mobile phones D. Solutions to nomophobia

【参考范文】
Last Sunday I paid a visit to my cousin, who has a six-year-old son. Though I stayed with them only a short time, I found that every time my nephew made a mistake, my cousin would scold him, which reminded me of the Pygmalion Effect. Anybody, young or old, adult or child, can perform better when they are given more love and care, when they are expected to do so. Give children encouragement instead of scolding them and give them praise instead of criticism, because if you believe they can achieve greatness, then they will indeed achieve greatness.

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.
Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can you’re your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means b eing afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

江西省宜春市上高二中2013-2014学年高二上学期第二次月考试题
Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone’s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:”60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
6. Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?
A . To introduce the topic for discussion.
B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C. To warn us that we should be careful.
D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
7. The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means “ ” .
A. habits of using mobile phones B. fear of losing mobile phones
C. eagerness for new mobile phones D. independence of mobile phones
8. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A. Avoiding using a phone for some time
B. Learning more about modern technology
C. Protecting one’s phone against any damage
D. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work
9. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.
C. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintances.
D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Attitude toward mobile phones B. New mobile phone technology
C. Disadvantages of mobile phones D. Solutions to nomophobia

Last Sunday I paid a visit to my cousin, who has a six-year-old son. Though I stayed with them only a short time, I found that every time my nephew made a mistake, my cousin would scold him, which reminded me of the Pygmalion Effect. Anybody, young or old, adult or child, can perform better when they are given more love and care, when they are expected to do so. Give children encouragement instead of scolding them and give them praise instead of criticism, because if you believe they can achieve greatness, then they will indeed achieve greatness.
