On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud. ” 56.

What is the main idea of this passage? A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems. B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life. C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers. D. School education doesn’t work without full support from parents. B Even when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could. Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks. Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally slow down on tasks throughout the day. The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time. You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day. I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was very busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it. 60. If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _____. A. a schedule without gaps B. breaks and distractions C. the limited time D. the limited energy 61. According to Para.4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _____. A. work without any rest B. focus on many things at a time C. find some more time in a day D. do some exercise regularly 62. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _____. A. prove what the real limiting factor is B. show us how busily he needs to work C. explain how important a healthy body is D. tell us what an odd experience he has 63. What is the best title of the passage? A. Are You Really Lack of Time? B. How Can You Work Efficiently? C. What Makes Your Energy Limited? D. When Should You Do Exercise? C Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there' s nothing like it. Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time． Stand straight The first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. Don't worry; this happens to all． Confidence is what you need The most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this? By practice. Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort. While going backwards, just get used to the feeling of moving backwards. One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor(做 剪式运动) your skates. Keep practicing this till you are confident about it. Maintain Speed Confident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed．While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling（滑浆）, that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke（滑动）. Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process. Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling. Now, try the same thing using the other foot. Again keep doing this till you are confident enough． Increase Your Speed Now Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed. Try some of your own tricks now. Scull with either foot or with both at the same time． Scull and Be Aware While you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other. You can do that simultaneously （同时，一起）with both feet. Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going. If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone． 64. Which is the right order of ice - skating backwards? a. Increasing your speed． b. Being able to scull with one foot． 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 c. Being about to stand straight． d. Trying some different tricks． A. c→a→d→b B. c→b→d→a C. a→c→b→d D. c→b→a→d 65. In order to keep balance when skating backwards you should _____. A. skate in a scissor gesture B. use both your feet to scull C. skate forward first and then backward D. put most of your weight on the skate with which you are sculling 66. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____. A. skating and keeping cautious are both important B. one must be brave to learn to ice - skate backwards C. it’s difficult to concentrate when ice - skating backwards D. it’s a common thing to hit someone when ice - skating backwards 67. The purpose of the text is _____. A. to compare different ways of ice - skating backwards B. to introduce the culture of ice - skating backwards C. to explain advantages of ice - skating backwards D. to offer some advice on ice - skating backwards D To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers. Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get. Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire. A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel. The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water. 68. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use? A. Sand B. Water C. A blanket. D. An extinguisher. 69. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of________ . A. separating the fire B. reducing the heat C. removing the fuel D. cutting off the oxygen 70. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about__________ . A. when it breaks out B. how it comes about C. what kind it is D. where it takes place 71. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Another class of fires B. Another type of extinguishers C. How fires break out. D. How fires can be prevented. E Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men，in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilisations（文明），broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view，what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2，000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. However，most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred？The next thousand？The next million？ That’s much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago，how could they even begin to picture modern life？Yet to men of 50,000 years from now，we may seem as primitive（原始的）in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels，or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words，which I have just made up，have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of. So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future？Here are two reasons. First，unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history，we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy（贪婪）or quarrelsome，our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us. Second，by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future，we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example，if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming，we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future. 72. A particular mention made of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph ________. A. serves as a description of human history B. serves as an introduction to the discussion C. shows a disagreement of views D. shows the popularity of the book 73. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that________ . A. human history is extremely long B. life has changed a great deal C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future 74. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________ . A. tools used in farming B. ideas about modern life C. unknown things in the future D. hunting skills in the Stone Age 75.According to the writer of the text，imagining the future will ___________ . A. serve the interests of the present and future generations B. enable us to better understand human history C. help us to improve farming D. make life worth living 养正中学英语试题 第 II 卷（非选择题） 第四部分 写作(共二节, 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，根据以下要求：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相对应的横线上。所填单词要求意义准确、拼写正确。 Dear editor, I’m a student of Senior Three in a middle school in Fujian Province.
