Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom. The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids. Each of the guests made a particular fuss over (对…关爱倍至)Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smiles. They said she was an unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age. I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions (意图). But we seldom think of how it might affect (影响) the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was ignored. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing, my dear?” She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?” I tried to explain to her, kissing her to make her feel better. Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first. 56．The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” (in paragraph 4) means _______. A．show much concern about B．have a special effect on C．list jobs to be done for D．do good things for 57．The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs for her _______. A．pretty clothes B．lovely smile C．young age D．beautiful hair 58．Kristen felt sad and cried because ______. A．the guests gave her more coats to carry B．the guests praised her sister more than her C．her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests D．she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly 59．We can conclude from the passage that _______. A．parents should pay more attention to the elder children B．the younger children are usually more easily hurt C．people usually like the younger children more D．adults should treat children equally B Americans have contributed to many art forms, but jazz, a type of music, is the only art form that was created in the United States. Jazz was created by black Americans. Many blacks were brought from Africa to America as slaves. The black slaves sang and played the music of their homeland. Jazz is a mixture of many different kinds of music. It is a combination (合并) of the music of west Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious music. Improvisation(即兴创作)is an important jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played. Jazz bands formed in the late nineteenth century. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially in New Orleans. New Orleans is an imitational seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz. Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent.

The Native Americans came to North America thousands of years ago. Some of them built villages and stayed there, but many moved from place to place. The first travelers from Europe came to live in an unknown land. At first, they stayed near the coast, but then a few brave men went west, far into the country. Two of them were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. In 1804, they started on their long journey from St. Lois, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They followed the Missouri River west, went across the Rocky Mountains, and followed the Columbia River to the Pacific. Then, they turned around, and traveled back to St. Louis. During the next 150 years, millions of poor people came from the old cities of Europe. They built the new cities of US, and farmed the land. But they did not always stay in their new cities or on their farms. Many people moved on, deeper and deeper into the new land. Some followed religious leaders like Joseph Smith. He and his followers the Mormons(摩门教徒), built Salt Lake City in Utah. Others went to look for gold. After the California Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco grew from a village to a city in only a few years. People are still moving to the US and finding new homes there. Up to 1 million people come into the United States from Mexico in one year. At the same time, many more arrive from the Pacific nations and regions—from the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and also from Central and South America. The history of the US is still on the move. 68．Which of the following is NOT true about settlers from Europe? A．They came to North America thousands of years ago.

There are hundreds of kinds of sharks. Most are about two meters long. The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimeters in length. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean. Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over – fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal. Sharks are important for the world’s oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans. People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins. Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth. If too many sharks in one area are killed, that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels. 72．Which of the following words best describes the situation sharks are in? A．Good. B．Endangered. C．Powerful. D．Expensive. 73．The population of sharks is becoming smaller and smaller as a result of . A．hunting B．lack of food C．diseases D．degeneration（退化） 74．Sharks eat other fish . A．which is a threat（威胁）to other forms of life in the oceans B．which is a protection for other forms of life in the oceans C．which helps prevent diseases from spreading D．which helps the number of other fish to grow 75．The author thinks that . A．sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them B．oceans will become safer with fewer sharks swimming around C．measures should be taken to protect sharks D．the shark population is increasing slowly 08－09年度高一（下）英语期中考答题卷 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：短文填词：(共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边想对应的横线上。所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确。 About three years ago，something terrible happened to me.
