I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of usat me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe(食谱) with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret. Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannies visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich. I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In peoples eyes Aunt Fannies success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.4. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?A. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.B. She enjoyed her parents reactions. C.

A. The Key to Success B. A Fortune Built from a CoinC. Blueberry Jam Recipe D. A Relationship of TrustCIt is widely acknowledged that nearly every kid might come across some kind of school bullying(欺侮), however, the age at which kids were first bullied could influence how strongly they are affected, suggests a new study. And, surprisingly, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in adolescence(青春期), the researchers say. people subjected to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children who were bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive(富有攻击性的) or are more likely to turn to drinking as a means of coping with it. These are the conclusions of psychologists Matthew Newman and colleagues of Texas at Austin, US. The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students about their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence- before high school- and in late adolescence- at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, judging by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all showed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽动), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence: females are more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to drinking to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social support, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman, “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”8. What determines the degree of bullyings effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The person who first bullies them.D. The age at which they are first bullied.9. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and his colleagues?A. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.B. Some are likely to be more aggressive.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.10. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflected in _.A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on them C. the way they react to provocation D. the type of bullying they receive 第二节 阅读补全 (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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Its important to prepare for rainy days.

One main reason lies at students bad habits. Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause. Some students are absent-minded while doing their homework, and some wasting their after-class time. The third cause is that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that far away from home. Experts think the amount of homework for the students should cut down. Beside, teachers should encourage their students to make good use for their spare time. Only in this way can students improve our study efficiently.第四节 书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华。你的英国朋友Jim所在的学校要组织学生来中国旅行，有两条路线可以选择：“长江之行”或“泰山之旅”。Jim来信希望你能给些建议。请你给他回信，内容包括：1. 你建议的路线；2. 你的理由3. 你的祝愿。可能用到的词汇：the Yangtze River 长江 Mount Tai泰山注意：1. 词数120左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。Dear Jim._.Yours,Li Hua兰州一中2018-2019-1学期高一年级期中考试 参
