B I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas,and was studying at mission college.One night after going to class,I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito(墨西哥卷饼)restaurant.I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man.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 asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order.He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there.But I insisted.When he finally followed me in, 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 we argued over it for a while,they finally gave in.It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table.I asked him to order whatever he wanted.But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (of society,he was very surprised at my generosity.But to me,it was what any "human being"should do or at least offer.You had to be there to see the look in his face.It reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday,with all the candy,chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat.I think he felt special,like he was getting attention,something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because,to me,it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them.It's more about giving them the respect and dignity (of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 4.Why did the homeless man approach the author?

C.Encouraging acts of kindness. D.Paying attention to the homeless. C A rare tornado warning was issued Tuesday for the New York City area,caused by severe thunderstorms that rolled through the region.While it's uncommon for tornadoes to hit major cities like New York,scientists say that may not always be the case. There's no special reason why tornadoes seem to miss big cities.It just comes down to chance. "Cities are small targets compared to vast stretches of forests,mountains or otherwise rural regions,"said Victor Gensini,a climatologist at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb."It's very rare for a downtown metro business district to get hit."But,as cities grow and developments spill beyond city limits,these areas become part of an"expanding bull's-eye"effect. Though rare,tornadoes have hit big cities.In 1999,a strong tornado blew through Salt Lake City,causing one death and at least 81 injuries.In 2000,a tornado struck downtown Fort Worth, Texas,killing two people.And in 2008,a powerful tornado struck downtown Atlanta,killing one person and becoming the first on record to strike that city center. "These are very low probability events,but if and when they occur,they will likely be devastating."Gensini said.Part of the danger of a tornado hitting an urban area is the huge amount of debris (such a storm would generate."The big thing that you need to worry about is flying glass.There's a lot more glass in New York City than in Shawnee,Oklahoma,where I live," said Patrick Marsh,a meteorologist. In big cities like Chicago or New York City,there's also a lot of tightly packed buildings, which could result in power cuts that affect a greater percentage of the local population,he added. But these increased risks don't necessarily mean urban tornadoes will be more deadly."In big cities,most of the structures are concrete or metal,so you have a lot of structures that the vast majority of tornadoes are not going to be able to break through,"Marsh said. 8.Why is it uncommon for tornadoes to hit major cities? A.It is a matter of choice. B.It is a matter of probability. C.It is due to the efforts of scientists D.It is due to the development of cities. 9.What does the author want to show by giving the examples of tornadoes in paragraph 3? A.Tornadoes can strike big cities. B.Tornadoes can cause deaths in big cities. C.Tornadoes in big cities are quite powerful. D.Tornadoes in big cities are rarely recorded. 10.What does the underlined word"devastating"in paragraph 4 mean? 高二英语 第3页共8页 A.Predictable. B.Regular. C.Destructive. D.Special. 11.What does Marsh think of most of the buildings in big cities? A.They are unsafe to live in. B.They are elegantly designed. C.They are too crowded together. D.They are able to resist most tornadoes. D You want a potential partner to become attracted to you.If asked,should you say you're interested in him or her?Perhaps,the best option would be to let him or her know you are interested.How can they know otherwise?Or perhaps,you should play a form of hard to get and tell him or her that you are not interested.After all,maybe we want more what we can't have. A wide range of research suggests that the better option would be to let him or her know you are interested.In short,we tend to like people who we know like us.But,interestingly,according to a recent research published in Psychological Science,an even better choice might be to not let the other person know one way or the other. In this study,participants viewed Facebook profiles (of several people.Participants were told that the people in the profiles were either interested in them,not interested in them,or that it was unsure if they were interested in them. Results found that people were more interested in the person in the Facebook profile if they thought the person was interested in them,than if they thought they were not.But,the Facebook profiles that were considered most attractive were the ones in which the profile's owner may or may not have been interested in the participant. We have all heard that playing hard to get can work,but we also know that this could backfire. And we all have heard that we tend to like people who like us,but we also know that a little mystery is appealing. I imagine some readers at this point thinking."God,this sounds like playing games.And,I hate that!"I am thinking the same thing,but I think it is important to realize these are first impressions and very early stages of attraction.At some point (dates later),not knowing where the other person stands could be incredibly frustrating.It would be interesting to see the effects of uncertainty on attraction in more long-term relationships. 12.According to the recent research,which is the best option when asked the question in paragraph 1? A.Admit our interest. B.Ignore the question. C.Leave it up in the air. D.Pretend to be uninterested. 13.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.A doubt about the research methods. B.An explanation of the research results. C.The complexity of the research process. D.The application of the research findings. 14.What is the author's attitude toward the research findings? A.Unclear. B.Dismissive. C.Doubtful. D.Approving. 15.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? 高二英语 第4页共8页 A.Uncertainty Fuels Attraction B.Playing Hard to Get No Longer Works C.Tips on Being Mysterious in a Relationship D.Secrets to a Healthy Long-term Relationship 第二节七选五（共五小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5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。 Join the Friends and find the place that's right for you .Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

My mom had a wonderful idea,however,to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile."You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,"my mom suggested brightly.“T'm sure the seniors（长者)there who do not have families visit them that often,would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs." I immediately thought this was a great idea.One of the things I did not like about the recitals 高二英语 第7页共8页 was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs.Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs,but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes. My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform.In the coming days,I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics. When the much-anticipated day finally arrived,my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors,we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room.Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit.At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided.Despite the conversations going on at various tables though,isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room. Almost immediately,we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House.She welcomed me and led me to the stage. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I sat down on the bench,I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound.

Feeling as if the whole world was watching me,I was struck dead with embarrassment.How could I perform the song without the piano?I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone,"This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous."Almost immediately,there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone.With everything ready.I took a deep breath and commenced my performance. Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old.One woman got up and began to animatedly dance about the room.Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes.The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd.I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I'm proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them.It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled,leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most. 阅读A篇【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了瓦尔登大学本科生的学术表彰制度。 【l题详解】细节理解题。根据文章Undergraduate Latin Honors部分提到“Latin Honors are awarded to graduating seniors with a GPA of3.5 or higher(拉丁语荣誉称号授予平均绩点(GPA) 达到3.5及以上的应届毕业本科生)”可知，平均绩点(GPA)为3.65的本科生可以获得 “Undergraduate Latin Honors(本科学位荣誉称号)”。故选A. 【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Undergraduate Honor Society部分“Honor society invitations are extended to eligible(符合条件的)students twice a year..(本科荣誉学会的入会邀请一年会向 符合条件的学生发出两次)”可知，瓦尔登大学的Alpha Sigma Lambda分会一年邀请符合条 件的学生两次，也就是一年接收两次新成员。故选B。 【3题详解】推理判断题。通读全文以及标题“Undergraduate Academic Recognition(本科学 术表彰)”可知，文章主要介绍了瓦尔登大学本科生的学术表彰制度，包括本科生荣誉榜、 本科荣誉学会、本科学位荣誉称号以及校长对本科学生学术成就的表彰等相关内容，这些信 息最有可能出现在学生手册上。故选C。 阅读B篇：这是一篇记叙文，作者通过讲述自己请流浪汉吃饭的故事说明要给予别人尊重。 【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man.He was very dirty and obviously very hungry.He asked me for some change to buy a little food.(我拿了我的是西哥卷饼，正要向我的车走去， 这时一个无家可归的人向我走来。他很脏，显然很饿。他向我要一些零钱去买一些食物。)” 可知，那个流浪汉接近作者是为了乞讨一点钱，故选B。 【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“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 we argued over it for a while,,they finally gave in.(当他终于跟着我进去时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进去，但我 告诉他们我是请他吃饭，他有权进去。我们为此争论了一会儿之后，他们终于让步了。)” 可知，上文提到餐馆工作人员不让他进去，但作者坚持要让他进去，故此处指两人为是否允 许流浪汉进入餐厅争论，故选D。 【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“You had to be there to see the look in his face.It reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday,with all the candy,chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat.I think he felt special,like he was getting attention(你必须在场才能看到他脸上的表情。这让我想起了我小 时侯，我妈妈在我生日那天给我带来了一个大生日蛋糕，里面有我们要吃的所有糖果、巧克 力和好东西。我觉得他感觉很特别，好像他得到了关注。”可知，作者看到流浪汉的表情 想起了自己小时侯过生日的场景，故作者提起自己的生日是为了描述流浪汉的高兴之情，故 选D。 【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ir's more about giving them the respect and dignity(尊严)of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.(更多的 是给子他们作为人的尊重和尊严，让他们自我感觉良好。)”可知，作者认为真正值得做的 是尊重别人，故选A。 阅读C篇：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了纽约市地区发布罕见龙卷风预警的情况， 并解释了龙卷风袭击大城市虽不常见但并非不可能，同时分析了龙卷风袭击城市可能带来的 风险和影响。 【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“There's no special reason why tomadoes seem to miss big cities.It just comes down to chance.(龙卷风不光顾大城市并没有什么特别的原因。一切都 取决于运气)”可知，龙卷风很少袭击大城市是一个概率问题。故选B项。 【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Though rare,tornadoes have hit big cities..nl999,a strong tomado blew through Salt Lake City,causing one death and at least 81 injuries.In 2000,a tornado struck downtown Fort Worth,Texas,killing two people.And in 2008,a powerful tomnado struck downtown Atlanta,killing one person and becoming the first on record to strike that city center.(虽然罕见，但龙卷风也曾袭击过大城市。1999年，一场强烈的龙卷风席卷了盐湖城， 造成1人死亡，至少81人受伤。2000年，一场龙卷风袭击了德克萨斯州沃斯堡市中心，造 成两人死亡。2008年，一场强大的龙卷风袭击了亚特兰大市中心，造成一人死亡，成为有 史以来第一次袭击市中心的龙卷风)”可知，作者在本段中给出龙卷风的例子想要说明龙卷 风可以袭击大城市。故选A项。 【l0题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Part of the danger of a tornado hitting an urban 2
