During his lifetime, he planted the seeds of the transformation by teaching thousands of people. Therefore, he is thought to be one of the world's greatest teachers today. Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn't working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs of counting their money and keeping track of their crops. Confucius did these until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn't like the way rulers treated theirsubjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline. In the majority of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China's first school to teach both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice. 8.What can we know about Confucius from the passage? A.He once acted as a math teacher. B.He devoted himself to social change. C.He was born into a politician family. D.He was once a farmer guiding people farming. 9.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Tests.　　　 B.Courses. C.Peoples.　　　 D.Themes. 10.According to the author, why did Confucius open China's first school? A.To teach both the poor and the rich. B.To be celebrated all over the world. C.To be accepted by the rulers of China. D.To become famous among China's lower classes. 11.What is the writer's attitude towards Confucianism? A.Doubtful.　　　 B.Uncertain.　　　 C.Disappointed.　 D.Supportive. D Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don't bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated. With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, but we still never get there. We know that if we forgive, we'll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport;trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a more fulfilling, new career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the above results but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful and better life. 32.What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph? A.They are born with virtue. B.They never make a mistake. C.They have a habit of doing good. D.They act on the principle of profit. 33.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.It's hard to practice virtues. B.It's a virtue to forgive others. C.It takes courage to achieve goals. D.Trust is necessary in a relationship. 34.What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in the third paragraph? A.A good greeting. B.A great exchange. C.A good goodbye. D.A close relationship. 35.What is the author's purpose in the last paragraph? A.To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B.To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C.To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D.To encourage readers to develop others' potential. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Expressing gratitude in your daily life sometimes is challenging and annoying. 　16　 Christina Costa, a psychologist who has studied the positive effects of gratitude on the brain, tells us how to be better at showing gratitude.  Start a gratitude journal. Make it a habit to write down the things that you're thankful for. Writing in the morning is a nice choice because that can set your day up best. You can do it on your phone or by hand. 　17　  Write a letter. Think of someone in your life who you have not had the chance to thank. Why are you grateful to those persons? 　18　 Then send them a letter, an email, or even better, deliver the letter in person and read it to them.  If you're having trouble finding someone to thank, think small. The smaller you start, the more you'll start seeing things you're grateful for. Think of the bus driver picking you up. 　19　 Then he is indeed a person that you should be grateful to.  　20　 Look around you, and take notice of everything that makes up your environment: the sky, the cool breeze. The act of simply noticing things is a great way to make the strength of all of the unique connections in your life clear.  A.Notice the world around you. B.Gratitude is a precious virtue. C.Think of a specific moment when they helped you. D.Maybe he's really nice or waits for you for a minute. E.Do you still remember the moment when he helped you?

I was a volunteer fire aide in New York, and was studying at Mission College. As a firefighter, you should always think of other people and try to help other people. One night after class, I was walking home and decided to stop off at a fast food restaurant. I lived in an apartment alone near my college so most of the time I used to get a takeout. I got my food and started to head home when a homeless man walked to me. He looked 20 or so. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the restaurant to order food together. For someone who had been on the fringes(边缘) of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any human being should do or at least offer. He was afraid to go into the restaurant because of shame. But I insisted. When he finally followed me and walked into the restaurant, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After some arguments, they finally let him in and he sat down at the table. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at the table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. He only ordered a hamburger, so I had to encourage him to order whatever he wanted. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: Finally he ordered three hamburgers and we began to talk. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  Paragraph 2: He stood up and looked at me, open-mouthed.　 　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 Morals and Virtues【单元卷•测试卷】 满分120分，时间100分钟 第一部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you want to help others and improve the world, you still can, without leaving the house.

You can do it on your phone or by hand. 　17　  Write a letter. Think of someone in your life who you have not had the chance to thank. Why are you grateful to those persons? 　18　 Then send them a letter, an email, or even better, deliver the letter in person and read it to them.  If you're having trouble finding someone to thank, think small. The smaller you start, the more you'll start seeing things you're grateful for. Think of the bus driver picking you up. 　19　 Then he is indeed a person that you should be grateful to.  　20　 Look around you, and take notice of everything that makes up your environment: the sky, the cool breeze. The act of simply noticing things is a great way to make the strength of all of the unique connections in your life clear.  A.Notice the world around you. B.Gratitude is a precious virtue. C.Think of a specific moment when they helped you. D.Maybe he's really nice or waits for you for a minute. E.Do you still remember the moment when he helped you? F.Whichever way you choose, make it as easy as possible. G.But experts say that it doesn't have to be that complicated. 语篇解读　 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如何更好地表达感激之情。 16.G　过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语义关系为:在日常生活中表达感激有时很有挑战性,也很烦人。→　16　→心理学家Christina Costa研究了感激对大脑的积极影响,她告诉我们如何更好地表达感激之情。G项“但专家表示,事情没必要那么复杂。”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。  17.F　细节句。设空处前一句提到“你可以在手机上做这件事或者用手写。”,F项“无论你选择哪种方式,都要让它尽可能简单。”承接上文,符合语境,且F项中提到的方式就是设空处前一句中提到的“do it on your phone or by hand”。故选F。 18.C　细节句。设空处后一句提到“然后给他们寄一封信,一封电子邮件,或者更好的是,亲自把信交给他们并读给他们听。”,C项“想起一个他们帮助你的特定时刻。”引起下文,符合语境。故选C。 19.D　过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语义关系为:想想接你的公交车司机。→　4　→那么他确实是你应该感谢的人。D项“也许他真的很好,或者等了你一会儿。”承上启下,符合语境。故选D。  20.A　主旨句。根据文章的结构可知设空处是本段的主旨句。根据设空处后面的关键信息“Look around you, and take notice of everything that makes up your environment”“The act of simply noticing things”可知,本段主要讲的是注意你周围的世界。故选A。 第二部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Orion Jean, a boy from Texas, has the same hobbies as other 12-year-olds.

I was a volunteer fire aide in New York, and was studying at Mission College. As a firefighter, you should always think of other people and try to help other people. One night after class, I was walking home and decided to stop off at a fast food restaurant. I lived in an apartment alone near my college so most of the time I used to get a takeout. I got my food and started to head home when a homeless man walked to me. He looked 20 or so. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the restaurant to order food together. For someone who had been on the fringes(边缘) of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any human being should do or at least offer. He was afraid to go into the restaurant because of shame. But I insisted. When he finally followed me and walked into the restaurant, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After some arguments, they finally let him in and he sat down at the table. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at the table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. He only ordered a hamburger, so I had to encourage him to order whatever he wanted. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: Finally he ordered three hamburgers and we began to talk. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  Paragraph 2: He stood up and looked at me, open-mouthed.　 　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  第二节 One possible version: Paragraph 1: Finally he ordered three hamburgers and we began to talk. I asked why he was on the street. He was silent, with his head down. After a while, he said that his parents died in an accident when he was twelve. He had been homeless since then. There was no job he could do to support himself. He had no place to live in and had to hang out most of the time. Hearing his words, I was heartbroken. I asked him if he minded sharing an apartment with me. Paragraph 2: He stood up and looked at me,open-mouthed. I smiled, repeating my words. Suddenly, he grasped my hands tightly, with tears rolling down his face. He couldn't say a word but I knew what he wanted to say. I told him he could find a job near my apartment and start a new life. A bright smile appeared on his face, “I couldn't thank you more. You light up my life!” he said heartily. I felt very happy. After enjoying our food, we headed for the door as well as our new life. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
