He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.‎ When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin. The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell. ‎ He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York. ‎ She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose. ‎ As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like ‎ flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him. ‎ The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”‎ She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”‎ ‎65. John was eager to know the former owner of the book because he______.‎ A. was very interested in the contents of the book B. was impressed by the notes written by its owner C. wanted to improve his handwriting D. wanted to discuss the book with her ‎66. What happened to John after getting in touch with Miss Hollis Maynell? ‎ ‎ A. He served in the army abroad.‎ ‎ B. He went overseas for vacation.‎ ‎ C. He went on a business trip in New York. ‎ D. He visited Miss Maynell.‎ ‎67. What do we know about the woman with a rose?‎ ‎ A. She was Miss Maynell’s close friend.‎ ‎ B. She was a waitress in the big restaurant.‎ ‎ C. She was probably a passerby. ‎ ‎ D. She was paid to meet John at the Station.‎ ‎68. Which would be the best title of the text? ‎ A. An Interesting Book B. A Woman With a Rose ‎ C. A Brave Soldier D. A Love Test ‎ （B）‎ Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, right? It shouldn’t. Even when the bottles are recycled, there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense. The containers are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up! Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year. ‎ ‎ “My parents’ generation never had bottled water,” says Isabelle Silverman, an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free. “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store, and it’s cheaper,” she adds. Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers “And what’s your drink?” that’s no reason to forget your conviction(信念). “Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap.’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you,” Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert.”‎ ‎69. In the first paragraph, the underlined sentence “It shouldn’t.” suggest that people _______. A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle. B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H2O. C. shouldn’t be pleased with just recycling empty bottles. D. shouldn’t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water. 70. . According to the author, tap water is _______. A. as safe as bottled water B. morel likely to be polluted C. healthier than bottle water D. less convenient than bottled water 71.The underlined part “going bottle free” (in Para. 4) means “_______”. A. making bottled water free B. giving up bottled water C. recycling use water bottles D. providing free water containers 72. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap.” Loudly? A. To encourage them to set an example for others to follow. B. To advise them to save the money for one more dessert. C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.‎ D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.‎ ‎ ( C ) ‎ ‎ The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those that satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want. ‎ ‎ In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States. ‎ ‎ People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items ‎ as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.‎ ‎ Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way. ‎ ‎ Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.‎ ‎73. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______. ‎ ‎ A. a writer needs a word processor B. needs and wants can’t be separated clearly ‎ ‎ C. the way to distinguish the products is unimportant D. a computer is a need rather than a want ‎ ‎74.The example of wine is used to illustrate that ______. ‎ ‎ A. goods are classified differently in different countries ‎ ‎ B. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its nature ‎ ‎ C. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes do ‎ ‎ D. one product may belong to many types ‎ ‎75. Staples are items that ______. ‎ ‎ A. are convenient to purchase B. are purchased without enough thinking ‎ ‎ C. people “want but don’t need” D. people are in constant need of ‎ ‎76. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ______. ‎ ‎ A. consumers don’t care where to buy them B. consumers spend much time searching for ‎ ‎ C. satisfy similar needs of the consumer D. can be found in nearly every shop ‎ Section C 5%‎ Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.‎ A. Most common types of accidents. B. Ways of preventing accidents. C. Nursing home injuries. D. Causes of home accidents. E. The importance of education. F. Is home really safe?‎ 77. ‎ _________ ‎ ‎ Home is a place where one feels safe and secure but unfortunately, it is also the place where you may have serious accidents. The biggest single cause of accidents is human error! So you must take care of yourself!‎ 77. ‎__________ The design of houses can cause accidents. Balconies, fireplaces, staircases, ponds, glass doors or open-plan kitchens can all increase the risk of accidents. Hot water, household chemicals, fireplaces, matches, alcohol and sharp objects are also potential dangers. Loosing balance, clumsiness and being tired or careless can be the reasons for these accidents. What’s more, if you are under stress or when a routine is changed, you may also be under the risk of home accidents.‎ 78. ‎___________ You can see many dangerous home accidents happening around you. The most common ones are slips, falls and collisions. They are not fatal but often result in broken bones. The second most common types of accidents are burns, swallowed objects or breathed in chemicals. They especially affect children and need hospital attendance. Some other possible dangers at home are poisoning, choking, drowning, electric shocks, and animal bites. Some of these accidents may even result in death.‎ 79. ‎ ___________ Sometimes the simplest precaution protects you from the greatest harm! Therefore, it is important that we should educate people. The Ministry of Health can train professionals to educate nursing staff, ordinary people, voluntary workers, teachers, nursery staff and parents in home accident prevention and control. When people know first aid, they can reduce the risk of serious injuries.‎ 80. ‎___________ You must take measures to make your home a safer place. For instance, keep knives and other sharp objects in a safe drawer. Wipe up any liquids on the floor immediately in order not to slip or fall. Keep hot objects away from the reach of children. You also mustn’t leave children unattended near a bath that has water in it. If you keep furniture away from windows, you may prevent possible harm. Store all medicines, household chemicals, and so on, preferably in a locked box and do not forget to keep all dangerous substances in their original containers. In brief, if you want to protect yourself, be careful not to be sorry!‎ Section D 4%‎ Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in not more than 15 words for each question. ‎① “Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. It is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.‎ ‎② It can boost（促进）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma‎ State ‎University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation (参与) and better grades.‎ ‎③ Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were more likely to kiss one’s hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant one. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey‎ ‎Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.‎ ‎④ It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).‎ ‎⑤ So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.‎ ‎82. In the first paragraph, what does the author mean by saying “it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults”? ‎ ‎83. The research shows that if the school teachers greet their students each morning individually, the students______________________. ‎ ‎84. Three effects of smiling on health are: (1) ___________ (2) _____________ (3) _____________‎ ‎85. What is the main idea of the passage? ‎ IV、 Writing (15%)‎ Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the given words.‎ 86. 据报道只有二个人在这次交通事故中幸存了。(survive)‎ 87. 他下决心不惜任何代价不让父母失望。 （determined)‎ 88. 人们普遍认为节食是减轻体重的有效方法之一。It is generally believed ‎ 89. 重要的不是你在考试中得了几分，而是你是否努力学习了。matter 90. 经历了许多的变化，人们逐渐意识到健康食品的重要性。Having done...‎ ‎2012学年第一学期质量抽查 ‎ 高二 英语 答题纸 I． Listening comprehension Section C 17. ‎_______________ 21._______________‎ ‎18._______________ 22._______________‎ ‎19._______________ 23._______________‎ ‎20._______________ 24_______________‎ ‎ III.
