The first episode of BBC documentary series ―Are Our Kids Tough Enough?‖ was broadcast for the first time on Tuesday, and soon became one of the top topics on social

2

networks in both China and Britain, with many education specialists commenting on the event.

In the documentary, five Chinese teachers took over a British classroom with 50 teenagers aged 13 and 14 in Bohunt School in Hampshire for one month, and taught them in a typical Chinese way: no talking, no question, wearing special uniform and experiencing the strict classroom discipline within an extended school-hour from 7 a. m. to 7 p.m.

Students in the experimental program had to do morning exercises, took compulsory physical education of long-distance running, and were also required to do eye exercises during breaks. Some of the students were caught on the camera in tears, as was one of the teachers.

At the end of this episode, most of the teens had difficulty in adapting to the Chinese methodologies. Some of them even described their Chinese teachers as ―rude‖ and ―unreasonable‖. Their teachers were not prepared for the stark differences between Chinese and British students as well. One of the teachers couldn’t help but complain that the classroom was always ―messy‖ to the head teacher of the school.

Many Chinese netizens, especially the post-1980 netizens, said that the documentary reminded them of past school-days. Meanwhile, they criticized the British students as ―unmannerly‖ and ―lack of respect to others‖ after watching the documentary.

20. How did most of the British students behave in the Chinese class?

A. They couldn’t understand what the teachers were talking about.

B. They didn’t obey the rule of no talking and no questions.

C. They were moved to tears by their teachers’ kindness.

D. They quickly adjusted themselves to the Chinese classes.

21. Which of the following was not included in the experimental Chinese class?

A. Doing morning exercises. B. Wearing a school uniform.

C. Doing eye exercises in class. D. Running a long distance in PE class.

22. What did the Chinese netizens think of the British students?

A. impolite B. smart C. respectable D. unreasonable

C

Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely strict with us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I

高二第一学期英语中段考

-voice, ―That’s what your legs are for!‖

The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling disappeared one spring evening.

It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then

3

I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.

On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. ―So! My son, it’s you!‖ he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, ―Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.‖

23. What does the underlined word ―grumbled‖ in Paragraph 1 probably mean

A. Accepted happily. B. Explained clearly.

C. Agreed willingly. D. Spoke unhappily.

24. We can infer from the text that_______.

A. the author’s grandfather had a profound influence on his father

B. the author’ attitude towards his father changed one spring evening

C. the author’father knew that his son had found out his secret

D. the author’father often criticized his son for his lack of courage

25. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.

A. he wanted to help his son build up courage

B. he wanted to surprise his son

C. he was embarrassed to meet his son on the way home

D. he wanted to make sure that his son was safe on his way home.

26. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. My Terrible Journey Home B. The Gray Spot Guiding Me Home

C. My Father and I D. A Silly Mistake

D

You have never seen him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand (经受得住)almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They're known as the black box.

When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.

In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device(装置) was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane – the area least affected by impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.

Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When in deep water,

4

they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.

27.In Paragraph 1,the author wants to say the black box_________.

A. comes from a comic book

B. is an necessary device on an airplane

C. can prevent disasters

D. can control the function of an airplane

28.From the black box on the Yemeni airliner_________could be found.

A. the scene of the crash and the degree of the damage

B. the total number of passengers on board

C. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash

D. data for analyzing the cause of the crash

29.Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?

A. The early models often got damaged in the crash.

B. New materials became available by that time.

C. Too much space was needed for its device.

D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.

30.What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?

A. They have stopped sending homing signals.

B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.

C. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.

D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

"So, what do you want to do after graduation?"__31__However, you have to make up your mind as your last high school year begins. Whether your plans include college, heading straight for the workforce, or taking a year off, here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey.

Going to College

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there. _32__ According to a recent survey, 75% of students change their majors after they enter college. After all, school is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation -- it's a place for learning about yourself and the world.

Selecting a School

If college is in your future, you need to plan. Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences. _33_ Once you've narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you literature or visit their websites.

Getting a Job

Maybe you've decided that college isn't for you -- right now, anyway. If you want to join the workforce, opportunities are out there for people who don't have degrees. Some products-selling or service industry organizations offer training programs to high school

5

graduates. Search the classified ads in the newspaper and do some Internet research. __34__ Taking Time Off

What if you intend to go to college but just don't feel ready to start yet, for whatever reason? __35__This practice is common in some countries, like the United Kingdom, where it's called a "gap year". Even if you decide not to apply to college, it can be a great idea to take a year to do something you may not have an opportunity to do again. Lots of volunteer organizations would welcome your time and energy and would provide you with a wonderful learning experience.

A. You might want to get a high-paid job first.

B. Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over.

C. You might want to take a year off to pause.

D. This is the fact that young people have to take into consideration.

E. Ask friends in college about their schools and other schools they're familiar with. F. Most large companies list their job openings on their websites.

G.. Not all of us are so sure of our plans, though, and that's OK too.

A possible version:

Dear Mary,

I’m glad to hear from you again. In your last letter, you said you would like to know

something about my hometown. It’s my pleasure to tell you about it.

You know, Guangzhou is my hometown. Located on the Pearl River, it is the largest

city and an important traffic hub in South China, with fertile land and abundant

natural resources. The climate here is usually mild and wet, quite different from that in

Beijing. Therefore, various plants and flowers grow well here in all seasons, which has

endowed Guangzhou with good reputation of “the Flower City”.

There are lots of tourist attractions in Guangzhou, such as the Guangzhou Tower,

the City Square, the Pearl River Cruise, Chime-Long Paradise, Yuexiu Park and so on. I

know you are interested in history, so if you come here, we can pay a visit to the most

famous museums and hang around the old streets. As for food, I’m sure you’ve ever

heard the saying “Chi Zai Guangzhou”, which means you can eat everything delicious in

Guangzhou. And, of course, Cantonese morning tea is what you can’t miss.

Like you, I love my hometown, too. Besides the above mentioned, what makes me

most proud of is the people in Guangzhou. They are used to living in a friendly and light

way, which has made the city warm, tolerant, and down to earth. It seems a great

privilege in this fast-paced commercial society.

Welcome to my hometown! If you have time, you can spend the Spring Festivals

here with my family. You’re sure to have unforgettable memories. I’m looking forward to

your reply.

Yours sincerely

Li Hua
