B One weekend in May 2015,over 48 centimeters of rain fell in Houston,Texas,USA.Soon the city was covered with water.The rising water rushed into the cars on the roads.There were 16 deaths that weekend. Changing Weather The weather is changing.Over the last few years,heavy rains have caused floods in Brazil,Pakistan, and Thailand.Droughts have struck Russia and Australia.Heat waves have killed thousands in Europe. There are more different kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world.In 2011 alone,the bad weather caused the world to lose 150 billion dollars. Warmer and Wetter As more wild weather events happen,a worried world is beginning to ask questions like:What is going on with the weather?And why?Many also want to know:Is this natural,or are we to blame The answer seems to be:a little of both.Wild weather is natural.This global warming makes heat waves more likely to happen.The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air. This causes much more rain.Some scientists also believe global warming makes some storms stronger. 高二英语试题第3页（共8页） This means we're likely to see more wild weather."But we don't have to just stand there and take it," says Scientist Michael Oppenheimer.He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer.We also need to be prepared,to do things that will help save lives. 24.What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A.To give examples of wild weather events. B.To guess how the weather will change. C.To explain why the weather is changing. D.To describe the weather events in 2011. 25.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A.And wild weather happens more and more. B.And nature also influences human activity. C.But humans have already paid enough attention to the wild weather. D.But most scientists agree human activity has made the Earth warmer. 26.Which of the following would Oppenheimer probably agree with? A.It is too late to stop global warming. B.Humans have nothing to do with global warming. C.The weather will get better if we can stop global warming. D.To find ways to keep our things safe is the most important. 27.What is the main idea of the passage? A.In May 2015,there was a deadly flood in Houston,Texas,USA. B.There are more kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. C.Many scientists believe global warming makes some storms stronger. D.Global warming causes wild weather events and that makes people worried. There are many colors in nature.But do you think that a color has weight?I think you'll say "no". But I'm afraid you are wrong.If you don't believe it,you may do a small experiment. First,put two objects with the same weight into two boxes.Then cover the boxes.Third,wrap one box with a red piece of paper,the other one with a white piece of paper.OK.Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one.It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so?A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say,every color has its own weight in our mind. The scientist told us that colors also have smell.Can you smell the color?Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength.It reaches our brain through sense organs. According to this discovery,scientists say that people accept the colors they like,and refuse the colors they hate.So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like.Or you'll be nervous or even get ill.For example,you like blue and hate red.If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours,you'll feel you have been there for four hours.But if the room is blue,you'll feel you have been there for only an hour.And,if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room,his temperature will rise.That means our body temperature will change with different colors. 高二英语试题第4页（共8页） 28.From the experiment,we know that. A.the two boxes have the same weight B.colors can change the weight of an object C.the red paper is heavier than the white paper D.colors have different weights in people's mind 29.From the fourth paragraph,we can infer A.the smell of colors is changeable B.people can sense the light from colors C.people can smell the colors through the nose D.all the colors have the same smell for the blind 30.We can infer from the last paragraph that A.red color is bad for our health B.people may get nervous in a red room C.blue color can raise our body temperature D.colors can influence our mood and health 31.The passage is probably. A.a short novel B.a news report C.a science report D.an advertisement D Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life.So,choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life. For my job,there are three important things that I will consider: The first one-that I must work in an area I like-is most important to me.Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy,then you won't have to work another day.I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative.I would like to be the most valuable member there.All this is possible only if I like what I do. The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems.I would like to stay in the same area for a long time.In order for this to happen,the work must provide enough problems.More than just working to live,I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress.I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work,so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money.Then I can provide the best for my family. The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people.The work in my mind is in fields such as the army,training or management.In such areas,I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best.It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be.When I become old,I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work. I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly.He should decide what he wants to be in the long run.Then,he should decide how he works towards it.He should study the proper courses,read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice.A good choice will most probably lead to a better life. 32.According to the passage,a good job choice probably makes people A.solve fewer problems B.choose a good life C.be good family members D.provide hard things 高二英语试题第5页（共8页） 33.The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because A.he has to bring out his best B.it can make him more creative C.he will have to work another day D.it is possible for him to live better 34.The underlined word"remunerated"in the passage means"" A.trained B.praised C.accepted D.paid 35.What is the best title for the passage? A.My Job Choice B.My Favorite Job C.My Comfortable Life D.My Sense of Satisfaction 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。 Kids'Health:Four Steps for Fighting Stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time.36Some ways,like screaming or hitting someone, don't solve much.But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead to you solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed: Get support.When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to trusted adults, such as parents or other relatives.37They might have had similar problems,such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet. Do not take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves.In fact,that's not a good idea.Remember that there are always people to help you.38 Try to solve the problem.After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends,it's time to get down to business.39 Even if you can't solve it all,you can solve a piece of it. Be positive.Most stress is temporary.Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic,but they do work.And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a hard time,you will help yourself feel better even faster.40So,remember the above ways when you are stressed. A.Then,find a way to calm down. B.You need to figure out what the problem is. C.Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone. D.Different people deal with stress in different ways. E.Chatting with your friends is also a good choice. F.Notice your friends'feelings and find a way to help them. G.You'd better turn to them to get you through the difficult situation. 第三部分：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。 One Thanksgiving Day,my best friend,Jane,and I found out our teacher Edward was having some financial difficulties,we decided to help.

Carefully placing the coins back in the box,she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall's Drug Store which was six blocks away.
