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. In this way, jazz continues to grow and change. 60．From the passage we know that created jazz. A．white Americans B．black Americans C．West Africans D．Indian Americans 61．What is the main idea of this passage? A．It mainly tell about the contributions made by Americans to music. B．It is mainly about different kinds of music. C．It is about how jazz bands formed. D．It is mainly about the history of jazz. 62．It can be known from the passage that jazz bands have a history of . A．about 100 years B．around 200 years C．about 150 years D．around 250 years 63．What kind of characteristics does jazz have? A．It is always changing. B．It is only played in the United States. C．It is completely different from other music. D．It is played in bars, clubs and concert halls.

B．Recent Books on Happiness C．Money and Happiness D．How to Keep Yourself Happy D The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It shows the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty-four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun. Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time. This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught! 68．The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______. A in a regular 24-hour rhythm B．in answer to the sun’s rays C．at low tide D．every fifty minutes 69．The crab’s changing colour ______. A．tells the crab what time it is B．keeps the crab warm C．is of no real use D．protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies 70．When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______. A．changed colour on the same timetable B．changed colour more quickly C．changed colour more slowly D．did not change colour 71．The best title for this passage would be ______. A．The Sun and the Tides B．Discoveries in Biology C．A Living Clock D．A Scientific Study E Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty. Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message? 72．It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______. A．are lying on the ground B．have an unpleasant taste C．bees don’t like D．have an unfamiliar shape 73．The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______. A．changing its leaf chemistry B．communicating with birds and bees C．growing more branches D．shaking caterpillars off 74．According to this passage, bees communicate by ______. A．touching one another B．making special movement C．smelling one another D．making unusual sound 75．The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______. A．cannot be taken seriously B．should no longer be permitted C．seems completely reasonable D．must be checked more thoroughly 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.
