My cousins were a fundamental part of my life; 37 they were not with me, they were on my mind. They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood, 38 games, adventures and silliness, but they also helped 39 me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult.‎ My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen. They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was 40 to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us. Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters, but I knew the one that 41 between us was the strongest. As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences, I realized my great 42 upon her. I noticed that she’d 43 some of my unpleasant actions, 44 with her mother after I had done the same. Yasmeen made me realize what being a good 45 really was.‎ When Maya was born, Yasmeen had a hard time ___46 . She was jealous（妒忌）of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister, so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been 47 . Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy, she was able to 48 Maya’s presence, like we all did. I tried to take advantage of ‎ our times together, doing my best to 49 my schedule for my two favorite people.‎ My 50__ with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influential people. I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya __51 , but “the babies” have had an even greater influence on my own life. They have shown me how to be a parent, a sister, a child, and most importantly, a friend. Our 52 has made me a better person—a more patient person, with the ability to 53 endless questions and spilled（洒）juice; an 54 person, able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model, 55 the babies ideas about right and wrong, and a compassionate person, able to forgive and love.‎ ‎36.

By comparing it with other organizations.‎ B When a fire happened in East Africa’s biggest second-hand clothes market in Nairobi, Kenya last week, the manager William Ruto, went there at once to tell traders that the government would do everything to help them to rebuild their business.‎ But perhaps Ruto should have answered a more important question: whether Gikomba market will be in business a year from now if a ban on the importation of second-hand clothes into east Africa comes into force.‎ In January, east African head of states suggested that Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania should stop importing used clothes to help the local textile industry.‎ Kenya alone imports around 100,000 tonnes of second-hand clothes a year ---many of which were sent to shops in the west. An Oxfam-owned second-hand clothes shop in Senegal sees, for example, a Forever 21 dress once worn by a young woman in London find its way into the room of a university student In Kenya. But if the ban goes through, Kenyans will be forced to buy locally produced clothes, giving textile producers a chance to re-enter the market they lost to cheap imports from abroad.‎ The collapse of Kenya’s textile industry dates back to the early 1980s, when it opened up the local market to second-hand clothes. The clothes soon caught the eye of the young population, leading to the collapse of many of Kenya s textile factories.‎ According to local media reports, there were 500,000 people working in the textile industry in the 1980s. Today, that number has fallen by more than 96% to around 20,000.‎ Banning the importation of used clothes is the government’s latest effort to save an industry and to recreate some of those lost jobs. But, a ban could hurt another group of Kenyans who depend on the second-hand clothes trade to make a living.‎ ‎58. Why will some African countries stop importing used clothes?‎ A. They are not good enough. B. They are sold at high prices.‎ C. They are not popular with the locals. D. They do no good to the local industry.‎ ‎59. What was Kenya’s textile industry like before the 1980s?‎ A. It developed very slowly. B. It produced very cheap clothes. ‎ C. It played a role in creating Jobs. D. It produced clothes especially for young people. ‎ ‎60. What does the author think of the importation ban?‎ A. It won’t come into force. B. It can’t save the textile industry.‎ C. It is a wonderfully wise decision. D. It has advantages and disadvantages.‎ C People have speculated（思索）for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined (定义) by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.‎ But it doesn’t necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without ‎ work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.‎ These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel tired,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different”—perhaps different enough to throw himself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.‎ Daniel Everett, an anthropologist（人类学家）at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gathers in the Amazon called the Piraha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.”‎ Everett described a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening.‎ Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We think it’s bad to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it's quite a desirable state.” ‎ ‎61. Which of the following can describe people’s predictions about the work-free world?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Accurate. D. Alarming.‎ ‎62. What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Risks. B. Reasons. C. Challenges. D. Disadvantages.‎ ‎63. What might John Danaher agree with?‎ A. Work is the most important thing in life.‎ B. People don't know how to balance work and life.‎ C. People may live a charmed life in a work-free future.‎ D. Higher unemployment makes life tougher for workers.‎ ‎64. Why is Daniel Everett’s study mentioned?‎ A. To prove John Danaher’s opinion. B. To show a future life without work.‎ C. To compare different opinions on work. D. To introduce a special group in the Amazon.‎ D If you were to look at the pictures of my early years, you would be left with the impression that I was a happy child. You couldn't miss the extra large set of buck teeth (龅牙).‎ One of the many nicknames my father gave me was Bucky Beaver. To Dad, and to me, Bucky Beaver was an expression of love straight from the heart. Unfortunately, my younger brother, John didn't work under the same rules. “Hey, Bucky Beaver!” John would say as he rocketed past my friends and me on his bike. Occasionally, when we were old enough to walk to the corner ice cream store, where all the cool kids hung out, I would wait for my order at the walk-up window. Then I'd hear, “Order for Bucky Beaver!” and see my brother running off. My appetite gone, I would return home, defeated.‎ It seems that I could do nothing to change his taunts (嘲弄的言语). He used to call me Smelly Kelley. To avoid any truth behind that name, all I had to do was routinely bathe. However, the teeth, although I brushed them every day, still stuck out.‎ Even my mom, who was supposed to be my advocate, crossed the line. When she sent our school pictures to my grandparents in Seattle, Mom would call first. “I sent the kids' school pictures to you today,” Mom would say in an apologetic tone. “Yes.” she continued. “Kelley? Uh huh...well,”-- with a nervous laugh—“we’re hoping she’ll grow into them.” She wasn't talking about my feet.‎ When I was eight years old, three-quarters of my front left tooth was knocked out ‎ and ended up in the dirt while I was playing on the school playground. I didn't feel shocked by the fact that I had lost part of my tooth. To me, it was just one more in a line of many that had already fallen out, or were on their way. Losing a tooth up to that point had been a cause for celebration, but I got an entirely new reaction when I opened the door to my house after school that day. “Hi, Mom!” I yelled, smiling extra wide to show off my new look. “Oh, my God!” Mom said. She was shocked and pale-faced, staring down at me.‎ The next thing I remember is that I was lying in a chair at the dentists. The good dentist announced there was no way to save the tooth because what could have been saved was still lying somewhere in the dirt on the school playground. Regardless, a crown(齿冠) was the way to go. A shiny silver half-crown covered what remained of my left center buck tooth. Things didn’t improve when it graduated to a full-sized crown. It didn’t change the fact that my teeth still stuck out.‎ My protests (抗议) about my brother’s name-calling about my teeth fell on deaf ears until the summer before the sixth grade. That’s when my parents finally acknowledged my “condition” was not going to improve on its own. That’s when the idea of braces (牙箍) was first introduced.‎ Finally, the big day arrived. Once again found myself lying in a chair knew it would be worth it to finally be able to avoid my brother’s taunting. Once I got home, I inspected Dr. Ellis’‎ work closely.‎ At that moment my brother came. Silently, John eyed my transformation. He knew the days of Bucky Beaver were officially over. But then his eyes slowly began to narrow, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Squaring(使…变平) his shoulders, John turned and positioned himself for a quick getaway, as he yelled back over his shoulder, “Hey! Brace Face!”‎ ‎65. What did John do at the ice cream store?‎ A. He treated cool kids to ice creams.‎ B. He asked the author to go home for dinner.‎ C. He teased the author in the presence of other kids.‎ D. He specially ordered an ice cream for the author.‎ ‎66.

My daughter is a fan of Korean fashion, that’s why she is crazy about the uniform!” Cheng said. “If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive thinking.”‎ School ‎ ‎ “The plan to change the current school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” an employee of the school told the Jinling Evening Paper. ‎ ‎ “The students dislike the present uniform, so the school took advice from the students last November, knowing that most of students prefer Korean-or Japanese-style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms,” an employee surnamed Lin said. ‎ ‎ “However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think it’s just a way for the school to make money, and others think the new uniforms will take students’ attention away from their studies,” Lin said. ‎ ‎ When asked about the possibility of problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadn’t considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more charming. ‎ Students ‎ The students are very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous (难分性别). ‎ ‎ They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence. It is also considered to be a good way to develop their sense of pride for the school and help then create good temperaments（气质）. ‎ ‎ As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and bears no relationship to the uniform. ‎ Education department ‎“We don’t have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or uniforms are ok,” an official from the Nanjing Bureau of Education said. ‎ Title Do pretty school uniforms lead to early romance?‎ Event A technical secondary school planned to order Korean-style school uniforms for students.‎ Different ‎ ‎91. ▲ towards it Parents are strongly ‎ ‎92. ▲ the move.‎ ‎◆With such beautiful designs, the new uniforms ‎ might 93. ▲ early romances between boys ‎ and girls. ‎ ‎◆In the new uniforms, students will 94. ▲ to ‎ ‎ focus their attention on their studies. ‎ ‎◆It is just a way for the school to make money.‎ Students are in favor of the move.‎ ‎◆The sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous.‎ ‎◆Korean-style uniform can make them more ‎ ‎ 95. ▲ and more interested in class as well as ‎ making them 96. ▲ of their school and ‎ creating good temperaments.‎ Two responses From the school ‎◆The students dislike the present uniform.‎ ‎◆More fashionable school uniforms are 97. ▲ in some big cities in China.‎ ‎◆The school spokesman Lin said they hadn’t taken the possibility of early romance into 98. ▲ , though he agreed the Korean-style uniform would make the students more charming.‎ From the education department There is no unified standard for school uniforms, so the schools can choose their own styles.‎ ‎99. ▲ ‎ The school had to cancel the plan and the students expressed their ‎ ‎100. ▲ to it.‎ 第四节：书面表达（共1小题，满分15分）‎ 随着科技的发展，手机移动支付逐渐盛行，人们对此看法不一。下面是你班班会上以“手机移动支付”为题进行讨论的情况。请你以李明的名义写一封信给21st Century报的编辑，说明该情况并附带表明你自己的观点。‎ ‎60%学生赞同 ‎40%学生不赞同 理由 ‎1. 简单易操作，不需要携带现金或银行卡；‎ ‎2. 大至商场小至路边摊都能使用，快捷方便；‎ ‎3. ……‎ ‎1. 存在安全问题，如个人信息泄露，资金盗用等；‎ ‎2. 导致过度消费；‎ ‎3. ……‎ 个人观点 ‎1. …‎ ‎2. …‎ ‎【注意事项】‎ ‎1. 文章需包括所有的要点，但不要逐条翻译；‎ ‎2. 词数150词左右；‎ ‎3. 信的开头和结尾已写好，不计入总字数；‎ ‎4. 参考词汇：移动支付mobile payment 摊贩 stallholder 资金盗用fund theft。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 不必写标题；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ Dear editor,‎ With the development of science and technology, mobile payment is gaining popularity in China.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Li Ming 江苏省启东中学高二英语第一学期期中考试答案 一．听力 1-5 ABBAC 6-10 ABACC 11-15 CACBC 16-20 AABCB 二．单项填空 21-25 CADCB 26-30 BDCCD 31-35 ABBCC 三．完形填空 ‎36- 40 ACBCA 41- 45 DDCBD 46- 50 BADCC 51-55 ABBDA 四．阅读理解 ‎56-57 BC 58-60 DCD 61-64 BDCA 65-70 CDAABA 五．单词拼写 ‎71.intention 72.quantities 73.illegally 74. appreciation 75.predict 76.temporary 77.adapt 78.Previous 79. guarantee　 80. polish 六．动词填空 ‎81. to be invited　 82. causing　 83. broadcasting　 84. wait　 85. amused ‎ ‎86. permitting 87. increasing 88.

Recently our class has held a discussion about it and opinions are divided.‎ ‎ 60% of the students are in favor of mobile payment. Firstly, it is easy to operate. They just need to take a smart phone instead of cash or bank cards. Meanwhile, it’s ‎ widely accepted in different places, ranging from big shopping malls to stallholders. It is really convenient to consumers. In addition, they could enjoy some discounts with online payment.‎ ‎ However, about 40% of the students are concerned about its security. It is likely that personal information could be let out and money stolen. Besides, they tend to buy more than what they really need by paying online. Also it’s difficult for some old people to adapt to it.‎ ‎ From my perspective, I am happy to embrace the new trend. Undoubtedly, paying online will contribute to our easier life and it will definitely improve our living standards.‎ Yours,‎ Li Ming 听力部分录音材料:‎ ‎(Text 1)‎ W: John, is Mark coming for tea tomorrow?‎ M: Yes, I told you yesterday, Tracy.‎ W: Oh, did you?

Small as it may be, New Zealand offers quality higher education opportunities, with two thirds of its higher education institutes within the top 10 of QS World University Rankings 2014.What makes New Zealand’s universities stand out is their abilities to provide high-end education.‎ Though Chinese students form the largest international student group in New Zealand, the country only ranks the 7th on Chinese students’ most desirable overseas destination list. The size of the country prevents it becoming a hot study destination. But it draws students with its safe and multi-cultural environment.‎ While it attracts mainly wealthy students, higher education in New Zealand is also affordable for many common Chinese families. Chinese students can get a British-based education with the school fee being some of the lowest in the world. On average, the school fee was about 25,000 dollars per year, and the living costs were about 20,000 dollars a year. Besides, students can do some part-time jobs. The money earned in those jobs is enough for them to travel around the country and enjoy its breath-taking scenery.‎
