But did you know that besides them, only a small percentage of the world’s animals keep cool by sweating? In fact, animals have a variety of ways to beat the cruel heat, some of which you might say are even a little bit strange. Giraffes We know that giraffes live in a particularly dry, hot environment, but they don’t sweat. How do they stay cool? The answer lies in their beautiful skin pattern, which is like a large network with a very complex vascular (血管) system under each patch (斑块). A giraffe’s special blood flow can force heat out of its body. Because of their rather large skin surface, this is a more-than-effective way to escape the heat. Elephants As the largest land animal on earth, elephants rely on their huge pair of ears. Simply by tapping their ears, elephants can lower their body temperature by 12℃ or more. Moreover, elephants often open their ears when facing the wind to reach this cooling effect. Dogs The dog’s way of escaping the heat is probably the most common in our daily lives--sticking their tongues out. By breathing heavily, dogs quickly force the heat from their body and breathe cooler air in, which enters their lungs and cools their entire body. Koalas Koalas are well-known for their “laziness”, so it’s natural to see one lying on a branch and think it’s just being its lazy self, but that’s not the case. Researchers say that the koalas select their trees very carefully, looking in hot weather for tree bark（树皮） that is cooler than the air temperature. By getting into the cool surface of the bark, koalas can stay relatively comfortable during Australia’s powerful heat waves. 21．How do dogs beat the heat? A. By choosing the suitable tree skin. B. By putting their tongues out. C. By moving their ears. D. By flowing blood. 22．Which of the following animals uses their habitats to cool? A. Giraffe. B. Elephants. C. Dogs. D. Koalas. 23．What do four animals have in common? A. They live lazily. B. They don’t sweat. C. They don’t stay cool. D. They live comfortably. 高一英语科试题（长中）（第 4页 共 10 页） B Did you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone” regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, some of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there’s even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an aim of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe. This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they more as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator, in Paris they take it as it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands - not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling, or an arm him in sympathy; they pat an arm in reassurance (放心) or stroke a child’s head in fondness; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people — especially those from Asia or the Moslem (穆斯 林) countries - such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if done with the left hand. The left hand carries no special significance in the US. Many Americans are simple left and use that hand more. 24．What would most probably happen when a Greek meets a North American? A. The Greek keeps 12 inches apart from the North American. B. The Greek can keep comfortable distance with the North American. C. The North American accepts the Greek distance when they become friends. D. The North American keeps backing away while the Greek keeps moving closer. 25．Which of the following statements is true about the people in the United States? A. They tend to keep the bodily space unconsciously. B. Their sense of distance has nothing to do with dignity or respect. C. They avoid any bodily contact in communicating. D. Their communication cannot be carried out without hand gesture. 26．It can be inferred from the passage that the Frenchmen prefer ______. A. to move closer when they communicate B. to use more body language to interact with others C. to sit farther apart when they talk in a large room D. to have physical contact in a crowded elevator 27．Touching with the left hand is regarded as ______ in the Moslem countries. A. a meaningless gesture B. an offensive(无礼的) act C. a sincere greeting D. an incomprehensible joke 高一英语科试题（长中）（第 5页 共 10 页） C When you’re walking your dog in the park, he comes across another dog. The dogs look at each other, sniff each other, and walk circles around each other. And then the fight begins. But is it really a fight, or is it just play-fighting? It’s very important for you to know whether he’s in any true danger. Dog owners everywhere like to take their dogs to the park to play. But is their behavior best described as “play”? Scientists have used the word “play” to describe any behavior that does not have any obvious purpose. The natural world is filled with examples of such “purposeless activities”. Bernd Heinrich and Rachel Smolker describe a common activity among ravens( 乌 鸦 ): snowboarding. Ravens in Alaska and Northern Canada are known to slide down steep, snow-covered roofs. When they reach the bottom, they walk or fly back to the top, and repeat the process over and over again. In Maine, ravens were observed sliding down small hills of snow. “We see no obvious practical function for sliding behavior,” they write. Anyone who has spent time in a school playground will recognize that ravens and children both like this type of sliding activity. It is easy to see that play may sometimes have a purpose. Given that young animals borrow actions from fighting, hunting, or other behaviors, play may serve as a for m of practice. Playmight help animals becomemore flexible and prepare better for their future life. So next time you walk by a playground or a schoolyard, take a look around. The kinds of games that young children play may look like simpler forms of play seen in animals. Some children may remind you of the snowboarding raven, just trying to have a good time. Other games, though, might have a deeper purpose, helping children learn their place in the social world within which they live. 28．What does “play” refer to according to scientists? A. Children’s activities. B. Walking dogs in the park. C. The fighting between animals. D. Activities without obvious purpose. 29．How is Paragraph 3 developed? A. Giving an example. B. Providing a way. C. Offering a reason. D. Asking for advice. 30．What does the underlined word “snowboarding” mean in the third paragraph? A. Flying to the top of snow-covered roofs. B. Hiding in the snow hole. C. Sliding down roofs covered with deep snow. D. Walking on the snow-covered ground. 31．What is the advantage of young animals’ playing? A. Learn some living skills. B. Get along well with others. C. Be the ruler of the animal world. D. Practice sliding and running. 高一英语科试题（长中）（第 6页 共 10 页） D In American English, when someone says he has to “face the music”, it does not mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car. She says, “Please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you want to pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. When you friend returns, you must “face the music”. It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both. In 1851, the writer James Fenimore explained “face the music”. In a theater, the orchestra (管弦乐队) sits in front of the stage. So,the actors on stage face the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. They may want to run away. “Facing the music” means accepting it and not surrendering (屈服) to it. Word experts say “face the music” may come from the army. A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团) because of the serious mistake in the war. The army drummers would play a sad beat. The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums. To “take your medicine” is to accept the bad result from something you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it. But it's fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”. “Pay the piper” is also similar to “face the music”. 32．In the situation of Para. 2, “you must face the music” means________. A. you can go to a concert B. you can refuse to repair the car C. you can pretend the car is yours D. you have to accept the bad result 33．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 3 refer to? A. Theater. B. Stage fright. C. The stage. D. The orchestra. 34．According to the text, the soldier________. A. wanted to be a cavalry officer B. would play the drum in the army C. must have done something terrible D. would be punished by the army drummers 35．Which of the following is different from the other three expressions? A. Pay the piper. B. Take your medicine. C. Lie in the bed and enjoy music D. You made your bed. Now lie in it. 高一英语科试题（长中）（第 7页 共 10 页） 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。 At VOA Learning English, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence?” __36___ No matter what language we are learning, we would all love to speak more confidently. So today, we have three pieces of advice to help you gain confidence in your English-speaking ability. Use positive self-talk Believe it or not, the most important person you talk to every day is yourself. In other words: ___37___ So our first piece of advice is to use positive self-talk.

So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones. Don’t worry too much One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes. Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. ___39___ And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. Mistakes can be a good thing. The more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make.

As he stopped to pet her, he noticed that she was not wearing a collar. She rubbed her head against his hand and began to purr (发呼噜声). She reminded Jonathon of Smoky, the cat he had when he was younger. Smoky’s fur had been long and gray too. Jonathon petted the cat for a while. Then he said, “I have to go,” and continued home. To his surprise, the cat followed him. When Jonathon was home, he walked up the porch steps and went in the kitchen. The cat followed him up the steps and sat quietly outside the door, watching him closely. Jonathon made a sandwich. The cat continued to stare at him. Jonathon sighed. “I know it’s not a good idea to feed a stray cat,” he said, “but you look so hungry! I can’t sit here and eat without feeding you too!” Jonathon put some turkey on a plate for the cat. As Jonathon watched, she ate every scrap of turkey and then began to clean her face and paws. “Wow!” Jonathon said, “You must have been starving. I wonder how long it has been since someone fed you.” Jonathon finished his sandwich and looked at the cat. Her long fur was matted (乱蓬 蓬的). Jonathon remembered that Smoky’s brush and toys were stored in the garage. “I’m going to clean you up a little,” Jonathon said to the cat. Jonathon found Smoky’s brush and got to work. As the dirt came out, the cat’s fur began to get lighter. “Hey!” Jonathon said, realizing the truth. “You’re not gray—you’re white!” After her brushing, the cat climbed onto Jonathon’s lap and purred. “You’re so friendly, you probably belong to someone,” Jonathon said. “I bet you’re just lost.” When Jonathon’s father came home, Jonathon showed him the cat that had stretched out in a patch of sun on the porch. “Why don’t you make some signs to place in the neighborhood,” his father suggested. 注意： 1．续写字数应为 150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 His father said that if no one called about the cat after a week, Jonathon could keep her. “Okay,” Jonathon’s father finally said, “I think you’ve waited long enough.”
