九中高二下学期月考试卷ALast week I talked with some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they hadGiven that I teach students who are training to be doctors,1 was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without“outside help What kind of help is that? I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them outI was pretty alarmed by that response It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a jobOne girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it re-grows, you can get at least 5 cm taller!At that point, I was shockedI am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters tallerI dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting perfection, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in realityNo one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the model Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that perfection is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the costIn my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career1Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to_.A marry a better manwoman Bbecome a modelCget an advantage over others in job-hunt Dattract more admirers2According to the passage, the author believes that_.A everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costBits right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsCit is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones careerDmedia are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery3. The best title for the passage should be “_.”.Young Graduates Have Higher ExpectationBYoung Graduates Look to Surgery for Better JobsCYoung Graduates Opinions about Cosmetic SurgeryDYoung Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-huntBSearching for airfares (飞机票价) often seems like a game that passengers are bound to losePrices change from day to day, even minute to minute Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge Even when you do book, theres no guarantee that you are going to get the best priceYou just dont know when to pull the trigger Its not like buying anything else I can think of,” said George Hobica, founder of AirfrewatchdogcomHarriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215 A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 eachThere were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360Theres no reason for it, Harrison saidFares can change significantly in just a few hours One Delta flight from New York to Los Angeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 0n SundayThe flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22 The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends Its the most expensive time to buyTheres no way to guarantee the best fare But before booking, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice: Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Thats when airlines most often offer sales Buy in advance, but not too early The best time is four to six weeks before traveling. In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to ten weeks and two to three weeks in advanceare often gone within hoursThe so-called discount airlines - JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier-adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the sameBut their prices arent always the lowestResearching multiple airlines fares is the only way to get a good deal4What can we infer from the first sentence of the text?B Passengers are unable to search for airfaresBAirlines often play games with passengersCAirfares are set in different situationsDIts difficult for passengers to get the best price5The underlined phrase pull the trigger in Paragraph 3 probably means_.Astart searching Bget the highest priceCmake a purchase Dget on board the plane6By using a lot of figures, the author intends to_.Ashow there is standard price for every single airlineBdiscover the rules behind airfaresCguarantee passengers a low priceDprove airfares can vary widely7Passengers are advised to book flights_.Ain the middle of the weekBon special websitesCseveral months before travelingDwith airlines which are famous for offering discount prices CFor thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange newsAs a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved Many of them have become historic sites The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in EnglandHowever, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society On a cold night, the pubis landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable priceThat is how things used to be Things are beginning to change It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubsThis decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they could if allowed to drink slowly The British habit of drinking a lot”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communitiesIn order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the marketBritish pubs now offer something for everyone A lot of pubs used to “Working Men s Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter Today, however, women can freely enter 99% 08f pubs without experiencing any problems Perhaps things are changing for the better after all8What can we infer from the passage?ABinge drinking means drinking less beerBClosing the pu8bs early will reduce social problemsCBritish government aims to discourage people from binge drinkingDBritish people used to like drinking slowly9The passage mainly tells us something about_Athe past and present of British pubs Bthe decline of British pubsCthe long history of British churches Dthe importance of British pubs10Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?Ahaving no spare money Bthe credit crunchCthe ban of smoking Dthe present closing time11We can see from the last paragraph that the author_.Ais against the admission of too many women to the pubsBholds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubsCthinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problemsDthinks that British pubs should offer everything you needDWhat did your school smell like? Was it noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativityBridget Shield has been conducting studies and advising people on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens, as well as noise made by the children themselves Everything points to a harmful impact of the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says ShieldShield says the sound of “babble” the chatter of other children, is particularly distracting in the classroom。People are very distracted by speech-particularly if it is understandable, but youre not involved in it” This phenomenon is also known as the irrelevant speech effect, she says, adding that “its a very common finding in open-plan offices as wellIn a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity Ravi Mehta suggests there maybe some benefit to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is the keyMany teachers all over the world already play music to students in class Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in their tasks, the so-called Mozart effect While the evidence actually suggests its a guess to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Ravi Mehta, If you like the music or you like the sound-even listening to a Stephen King novel-then you did better It didnt matter about the music,“ he saysHowever, its worth considering that music is not always helpful while youre trying to workTrying to perform a task which involves serial recall - for instance, doing mental mathematics-will be distracted by sounds with audio variation, says Ravi Mehta Songs with lyrics, on the other hand, are more likely to interfere(干扰)with tasks that involve languages-such as reading comprehensionThis isnt the only sense being related to affecting learning12The second paragraph implies that_.general noise also has a harmful effectBstudents are sensitive to noiseCsome children need special sounds to do tasksDchildren arent affected by their own noise13The irrelevant speech effect refers to the fact that_.A you dont understand what others are talkingByou are interrupted by the chatting of othersCyou are unwilling to chat with other peopleDyou find what others are talking irrelevant to you14According to the text, Ravi Mehta believes that_.A music matters when you want to do betterBmusic will help you do mental arithmeticCany music can be beneficial as long as you like itDsongs with lyrics will improve your reading comprehension15What might be discussed in the following paragraph?AWhether music is helpful all the timeBWhat sound can promote a persons creativityCWhen smell can improve students behaviorDHow smell affects childrens performance第2节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Using a Mobile Phone to Improve Mother and Child HealthPeople around the world are working to expand the uses for mobile technology in health careIn the world, there are six billion mobile phone users in a population of seven billion people 16 Africa has widespread adoptionThree or four years ago the upwards of 60 percent in some countries 17 Earlier research has been carried out to look at mobile technologies and HIV and AIDSAnd so we have some great evidence on the effectiveness of mobilesDuring the first week of December, 2012, more than 4,000 people from 50 countries met for the fourth annual mHealth Summit.

You can have a pregnant woman in Bangladesh registered into a system that provides messages that help her know what to do and when to do certain things. Simple text messages can be important sources of information to people without Internet access. 20 They have to be able to read through thousands of entries that come back to them on Google, for example, and then figure out what that information means to them.
