【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一部分“While many of the PGC basketball camps are aimed at youth in high school and college athletes, there are also the Skills Academy camps for those as young as the 4th grade.”虽然许多PGC篮球训练营针对的是高中和大学的青少年运动员，但也有一些技能学院的训练营针对的是四年级的学生。可知，PGC训练营不仅仅针对PGC的学生，即不仅PGC的学生可以加入，其他学生也可以加入，故选D项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三部分“These camps are offered across the USA, as well as in Canada and even the UK.” 美国各地、加拿大甚至英国都有这样的夏令营。可知NBC篮球训练营在国内和国外都有。第四部分“It also operates in many other nations around the world such as Brazil, France, Argentina, and Spain.” 它还在世界上许多其他国家开展业务，如巴西、法国、阿根廷和西班牙。可知TNBA在国内外也都有训练营，由此可以推测出NBC和TNBA的共同点就是他们都在国内外有训练营，故选D项。

I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick It could truly be our family’s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn’t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted.
4. What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come
A. To go out to have dinner. B. To order pizza.
C. To show off his cooking skills. D. To cook a big dinner for his family.
5. The text tells us that ____________.
A. the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner
B. Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C. Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D. their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
6. By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means __________.
A. she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B. she was not able to eat a lot of food
C. the Easter dinner made her sick
D. she couldn’t cook the dinner alone
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Cooking in the Kitchen B. Filling Peter’s Shoes
C. Happy Easter Day D. Terrible Cooks
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者接替哥哥为家人做节日盛宴的经过，虽然作者做得没有哥哥好，但她也是和妈妈一起用爱心为家人做饭。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine.( 准备节日大餐是我哥哥的工作，不是我的。)”可知，如果节日来临，作者的哥哥Peter就会为家人准备节日大餐。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.( Peter会不喜欢那样（外卖）。对他来说，没有什么比用爱做的一顿饭更重要了。”可知，作者哥哥Peter喜欢用爱心做饭。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段可知作者要为全家做复活节盛宴，但在这之前作者只会烧开水，并且害怕家人吃了她做的饭会生病，结合画线句后一句“No one could do this half as well as Peter.(这件事没有人有Peter做得一半好。)”可知作者觉得自己不如Peter做得好，因此画线句子应表示作者对做复活节盛宴没有信心，故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要叙述了作者接替哥哥Peter用爱心为家人做节日盛宴的事情。短语fill one’s shoes意为“妥善代职”，此短语出现在文章第二段“I could never fill his shoes.( 我永远也接替不了他的位置。)”以及倒数第二段“I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes.( 我读了标题Filling Peters’ Shoes，差点儿把购物袋掉在地上，)”可知B项标题符合文章想要表达的中心思想。故选B项。
C
Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.
However there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.
8. Which of the following would the author agree with
A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.
B High schools should begin their school day at a later time.
C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.
9. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A. why high school students should get more sleep
B. what’s life like for high school students at present
C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom
D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load
10. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.
A. arrives B. reduces
C. increases D. changes
11. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied.
C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在高中生课业负担重，导致学生睡眠不足而上课犯困、注意力不集中的现象，建议学校应减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生由充足的睡眠。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.(这些研究的研究人员说，研究结果非常重要，更多的学校应该考虑推迟上学时间)”可推知，作者也会赞同高中应该晚一点开始上课。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段“Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.(今天，大多数高中生睡眠不足。睡眠不足是一个严重的问题，尤其是学生们在时间上做得比以往任何时候都多。他们早早来到学校，花几个小时听老师讲课，参加考试，然后跑去练习和开会，回家后还要面对更多的家庭作业。现在的家庭作业负担不轻，老师们每晚都要给学生们几个小时的作业量)”可知，本段讲述了为什么高中生在课堂上感到困倦——就是因为课业繁重和睡眠不足。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段中划线词所在句后面的“After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m.(进入青春期后，人体内部的生物钟会发生变化，青少年很难在晚上11点之前入睡)”可推知，划线词所在句“Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older.”意为“然而，这9个小时的时间随着孩子长大而改变”。划线词shifts在此处意为“changes(变化)”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧).(在早上8:30以后开始上课的学校，老师们认为学生们已经发生了真正的变化。他们注意到，学生缺课少，在课堂上注意力更集中，在课堂上表现更好，而且抑郁程度较低)”可推知，老师们对推迟上课时间很满意。故选B项。
D
In the mid-1980s, a study compared mtDNA from people around the world. It found that people of African descent (后裔) had twice as many genetic differences from each other than as did others. Because mutations (基因突变) seem to occur at a steady rate over time, scientists were able to conclude that modern humans must have lived in Africa at least twice as long as anywhere else. They now calculate that all living humans descend from a single woman who lived roughly 150,000 years ago in Africa, “Eve”. If geneticists are right, all of humanity is linked to Eve through an unbroken chain of mothers. This Eve was soon joined by “Y-Chromosome (染色体) Adam”, the genetic father of us all, also from Africa. DNA studies have confirmed that all the people on Earth, with all their shapes and colors, can trace their ancestry to ancient Africans.
What seems certain is that at a remarkably recent date—probably between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago—one small group of people, the ancestors of modern humans outside of Africa, left Africa for western Asia, either by migrating around the northern end of the Red Sea or across its narrow southern opening.
Once in Asia, genetic evidence suggests, the population split. One group stopped temporarily in the Middle East, while the other commenced a journey which would last tens of thousands of years. Moving a little further with each new generation, they followed the coast around the Arabian Peninsula, India, and Southeast Asia, all the way to Australia. ''The movement was probably unnoticeable,'' says Spencer Wells. ''It was less of a journey and probably more like walking a little farther down the beach to get away from the crowd.''
Although archaeological evidence of this 13,000-kilometer (8,000-mile) migration from Africa to Australia has almost completely disappeared, genetic traces of the group that made the trip do exist. They have been found in the DNA of native peoples in the Andaman Islands near Myanmar, in Malaysia, and in Papua New Guinea, and in the DNA of nearly all Australian aborigines (土著). Modern discoveries of 45,000-year-old bodies in Australia, buried at a site called Lake Mungo, provide some physical evidence for the theories as well.
People in the rest of Asia and Europe share different but equally ancient mtDNA and mutations. The mutations which they possess show that most are descendants of the group that stayed in the Middle East for thousands of years before moving on. Perhaps about 40,000 years ago, modern humans first advanced into Europe.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Mutations occasionally take place over time
B. Modern humans probably have only one ancestor.
C. Modern humans must have lived in Africa for a shorter time than anywhere else.
D. Scientists confirm all of humanity is linked to Eve with physical evidence .
13. What happened to the first group of humans that moved from Africa into Asia
A. Most of the migrants turned back into Africa.
B. They separated into two groups.
C. Most of the migrants moved directly into Europe.
D. They stayed in the Middle East for tens of thousands of years.
14. Which of the following is cited as evidence for the great migration to Australia
A. Discovery of human remains in Australia B. DNA of people in Southeast Africa
C. DNA of immigrants to Australia D. Discoveries from modern societies in Asia
15. The title for this reading could be _______.
A. Finding Y-Chromosome Adam B. Who were the First Humans
C. The Discovery of DNA in Africa D. Migrating Out of Africa
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个研究发现讲述了现代人类的祖先很可能从非洲迁出，同时，还介绍了一些人类从非洲迁出的过程，以及证据。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“They now calculate that all living humans descend from a single woman who lived roughly 150,000 years ago in Africa, “Eve”. If geneticists are right, all of humanity is linked to Eve through an unbroken chain of mothers.(他们现在计算出，所有现存的人类都是大约15万年前生活在非洲的一位单身女性“夏娃”的后代。如果遗传学家是对的，所有的人类都是通过一个完整的母亲链与夏娃相连的。)”可知，现代人类可能只有一个祖先。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once in Asia, genetic evidence suggests, the population split. One group stopped temporarily in the Middle East, while the other commenced a journey which would last tens of thousands of years.( 基因证据表明，一旦到了亚洲，种群就分裂了。一群人暂时停留在中东，而另一群人则开始了长达数万年的旅程。)”可知，第一批从非洲迁移到亚洲的人类分成了两组。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Modern discoveries of 45,000-year-old bodies in Australia, buried at a site called Lake Mungo, provide some physical evidence for the theories as well.(在澳大利亚发现的45000年前的遗体，被埋葬在一个叫做 Lake Mungo 的地方，也为这个理论提供了一些物理证据。)”可知，在澳大利亚发现人类遗体是大移民到澳大利亚的证据。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤根据第一段中“DNA studies have confirmed that all the people on Earth, with all their shapes and colors, can trace their ancestry to ancient Africans. ( DNA研究已经证实，地球上所有的人，无论他们的形状和颜色，都可以追溯到远古非洲人的祖先。)”和第二段中“What seems certain is that at a remarkably recent date—probably between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago—one small group of people, the ancestors of modern humans outside of Africa, left Africa for western Asia, either by migrating around the northern end of the Red Sea or across its narrow southern opening.( 可以肯定的是，在最近的一段时间——大概在5万到7万年前——有一小群人，也就是非洲以外的现代人类的祖先，离开非洲前往西亚，他们要么沿着红海的北端迁徙，要么穿过红海狭窄的南口。)”可知，本文通过一个研究发现讲述了现代人类的祖先很可能从非洲迁出，同时，还介绍了一些人类从非洲迁出的过程，以及证据。选项D“迁出非洲”突出主题，简洁明了，适合做标题。故选D项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一所学校木匠班的特色实践项目的相关内容。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：4月2日下午3点左右，美国哈佛ET高中的木匠学生在东北就业服务中心的一个残疾人坡道上做最后的工作。由时间状语“At about 3 p.m. on April 2”可知，此处表示过去正在发生的事情，应用过去进行时，主语students为名词复数。故填were putting。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：这是一个美丽的事情，连接着一个大楼外的平台和新社区教育中心的入口。空处应用名词形式，作介词of的宾语，故填beauty。
【38题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：学生们是在一年前开始这个工程的。分析句子结构，去掉It was和该空，该句结构完整，语义清晰，可知该句为强调句，强调句的基本结构是“It is / was+被强调部分+that +句子的其他成分”，如果被强调的部分是人，可以用who代替that，这里被强调部分是时间状语one year ago，故填that。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：花了很长时间，因为ET高中有一个轮流的安排——两周的学术工作之后是两周的商店工作。空前的followed是过去分词，此处表示被动意义，应用介词by。故填by。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他们的课程表使他们很难快速完成这项工作。分析句子可知，it是形式宾语，此处应用动词不定式作真正的宾语。故填to finish。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：来到ET，Gabe Martel一开始并不知道他想成为一名木匠。动词arrive和逻辑主语Gabe Martel之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语，首字母应大写。故Arriving。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他很快就发现实践活动对他有好处。空处应用形容词作表语，beneficial意为“有益的”。故填beneficial。
【43题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：他们必须遵守建筑规则，并迅速适应。adapt oneself to…适应，是固定短语，此处应用反身代词，故填themselves。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：下一个项目将在Brooklyn游乐场，学生将在那里重建主舞台的一部分。空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是Brooklyn Fairgrounds，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用where引导。故where。
【45题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：人们相信他们将工作几个月，为残疾人打开一个新的生活维度。It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句，和谓语动词believe之间是被动关系，且此处表述一个一般性事实，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是It，be动词用is。故填is believed。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150 左右。
Kent was a manager of a furniture agency. His establishment nearly went bankrupt (倒闭）because of the wrong decision he had made. He was so regretful and depressed that he planned to drive to a bar alone to release his emotions.
It was near midnight in an extremely cold winter, and the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam entered his line of sight. She was standing sideways near a platform, dressed in a plain coat, dragging a suitcase, and holding a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam's disturbing，he wouldn't like to leave her in the cold night. He noticed she coughed violently and thought that she might be ill and really needed help. So he braked near her.
The madam said, "Would you please take me for a ride I can offer double fare. . . " Kent interrupted her, "I will charge you nothing! Come on!" The madam pointed to her luggage and said, "Could you put my suitcase into the car " Kent stepped out and put it in the trunk.
Kent proceeded to drive. He stopped at a petrol station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline (汽油). During the interval they waited in a queue，the madam began her narration, "Could you please send me to the charity house in the suburbs I want to send them something. I had been given help there 50 years ago. The president and workers were all good guys." She burst into tears，"Now they've all passed away. The life was tough at that time, but we all loved and cared about each other. I've held a desire to be back there again for long." Kent realized the madam was recalling a section of the good missing days. A complicated feeling surrounded him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
Paragraph 1 ：
After a two-hour drive，they came to the gate of their destination.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 ：
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1 ：
After a two-hour drive, they carne to the gate of their destination. It was quiet and dark. The door of the charity house was closed and a weak light went through the guard room. Kent got off the car and rang the bell. An old doorkeeper came out. Making clear why they came, they were invited in. The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected. Then they looked round the house and left. On the way back, the old madam asked for another ride, "Please send me to the rest home in the town. sir."
Paragraph 2 ：
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases. "I have been seriously ill for a long time and will soon die of lung cancer. I come out to say goodbye to my life. Now I will have no regrets before death. Thanks for your help!" The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face. Kent remained silent for a while. He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了Kent在寒冷夜晚遇到了一个老人，并同意带她郊区慈善机构的故事。
【详解】续写分为两段。第一段的开头是：两小时车程后，他们到达了目的地的大门。所以可以接着写：天色很暗，到处都很安静，大门里的建筑里透出了微弱的光。Kent下车给门卫说明情况后，门卫让他们进去。老人把装满衣服和玩具的箱子交给门卫。他们围着建筑四处转了一下，然后离开了。路上，女士要求Kent把她送到市里的疗养院。
第二段的开头是：听了女士的话Kent陷入了沉思，因为他知道疗养院是专门为那些有不治之症的病人准备的。看到Kent的样子，女士说:“我生了很严重病，已近是癌症晚期，很快就到生命的尽头了。今天我是去和从前的生活说再见的，现在，我没有遗憾了。非常感谢你。”女士说话的时候面带笑容，丝毫看不出悲伤。Kent此刻觉得很感激，感激他能有机会帮助这位女士实现最后的愿望。
续写时需注意情节要符合逻辑，基础时态为一般过去时。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达，例如：The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected.中使用了独立主格；The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face.中使用了with复合结构；He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.
中what引导宾语从句。这些表达的使用使文章色彩纷呈。2022学年第一学期开学测试高二英语

I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick It could truly be our family’s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn’t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted.
4 What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come
A. To go out to have dinner. B. To order pizza.
C. To show off his cooking skills. D. To cook a big dinner for his family.
5. The text tells us that ____________.
A. the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner
B. Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C. Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D. their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
6. By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means __________.
A. she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B. she was not able to eat a lot of food
C. the Easter dinner made her sick
D. she couldn’t cook the dinner alone
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Cooking in the Kitchen B. Filling Peter’s Shoes
C. Happy Easter Day D. Terrible Cooks
C
Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.
However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.
8. Which of the following would the author agree with
A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.
B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.
C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.
9. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A. why high school students should get more sleep
B. what’s life like for high school students at present
C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom
D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load
10. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.
A. arrives B. reduces
C. increases D. changes
11. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied.
C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
D
In the mid-1980s, a study compared mtDNA from people around the world. It found that people of African descent (后裔) had twice as many genetic differences from each other than as did others. Because mutations (基因突变) seem to occur at a steady rate over time, scientists were able to conclude that modern humans must have lived in Africa at least twice as long as anywhere else. They now calculate that all living humans descend from a single woman who lived roughly 150,000 years ago in Africa, “Eve”. If geneticists are right, all of humanity is linked to Eve through an unbroken chain of mothers. This Eve was soon joined by “Y-Chromosome (染色体) Adam”, the genetic father of us all, also from Africa. DNA studies have confirmed that all the people on Earth, with all their shapes and colors, can trace their ancestry to ancient Africans.
What seems certain is that at a remarkably recent date—probably between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago—one small group of people, the ancestors of modern humans outside of Africa, left Africa for western Asia, either by migrating around the northern end of the Red Sea or across its narrow southern opening.
Once in Asia, genetic evidence suggests, the population split. One group stopped temporarily in the Middle East, while the other commenced a journey which would last tens of thousands of years. Moving a little further with each new generation, they followed the coast around the Arabian Peninsula, India, and Southeast Asia, all the way to Australia. ''The movement was probably unnoticeable,'' says Spencer Wells. ''It was less of a journey and probably more like walking a little farther down the beach to get away from the crowd.''
Although archaeological evidence of this 13,000-kilometer (8,000-mile) migration from Africa to Australia has almost completely disappeared, genetic traces of the group that made the trip do exist. They have been found in the DNA of native peoples in the Andaman Islands near Myanmar, in Malaysia, and in Papua New Guinea, and in the DNA of nearly all Australian aborigines (土著). Modern discoveries of 45,000-year-old bodies in Australia, buried at a site called Lake Mungo, provide some physical evidence for the theories as well.
People in the rest of Asia and Europe share different but equally ancient mtDNA and mutations. The mutations which they possess show that most are descendants of the group that stayed in the Middle East for thousands of years before moving on. Perhaps about 40,000 years ago, modern humans first advanced into Europe.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Mutations occasionally take place over time
B Modern humans probably have only one ancestor.
C. Modern humans must have lived in Africa for a shorter time than anywhere else.
D. Scientists confirm all of humanity is linked to Eve with physical evidence .
13. What happened to the first group of humans that moved from Africa into Asia
A. Most of the migrants turned back into Africa.
B. They separated into two groups.
C. Most of the migrants moved directly into Europe.
D. They stayed in the Middle East for tens of thousands of years.
14. Which of the following is cited as evidence for the great migration to Australia
A. Discovery of human remains in Australia B. DNA of people in Southeast Africa
C. DNA of immigrants to Australia D. Discoveries from modern societies in Asia
15. The title for this reading could be _______.
A. Finding Y-Chromosome Adam B. Who were the First Humans
C. The Discovery of DNA in Africa D. Migrating Out of Africa

Kent was a manager of a furniture agency. His establishment nearly went bankrupt (倒闭）because of the wrong decision he had made. He was so regretful and depressed that he planned to drive to a bar alone to release his emotions.
It was near midnight in an extremely cold winter, and the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam entered his line of sight. She was standing sideways near a platform, dressed in a plain coat, dragging a suitcase, and holding a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam's disturbing，he wouldn't like to leave her in the cold night. He noticed she coughed violently and thought that she might be ill and really needed help. So he braked near her.
The madam said, "Would you please take me for a ride I can offer double fare. . . " Kent interrupted her, "I will charge you nothing! Come on!" The madam pointed to her luggage and said, "Could you put my suitcase into the car " Kent stepped out and put it in the trunk.
Kent proceeded to drive. He stopped at a petrol station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline (汽油). During the interval they waited in a queue，the madam began her narration, "Could you please send me to the charity house in the suburbs I want to send them something. I had been given help there 50 years ago. The president and workers were all good guys." She burst into tears，"Now they've all passed away. The life was tough at that time, but we all loved and cared about each other. I've held a desire to be back there again for long." Kent realized the madam was recalling a section of the good missing days. A complicated feeling surrounded him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
Paragraph 1 ：
After a two-hour drive，they came to the gate of their destination.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 ：
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases.
