Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them. 2011年蚌埠市普通高中自主招生考试（英语试题） 第 2 页 共 7 页 Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to stop waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps（水龙头）when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 36From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school. A. waste things B. dont work hard C. eat too much D. throw rubbish everywhere 37Which is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. Oil. B. Coal. C. Forest. D. Fresh water. 38What may happen in 100 years according to the passage? A. We may not waste our resources. B. We may have other places to move to. C. We may have more resources to use. D. We may not have any coal or oil to use. 39Which of the following is true? A. Waste brings problems. B. Students never waste things. C. China is rich in fresh water. D. Whatever we do cant stop waste. 40The author writes the passage mainly to tell readers that _. A. students live a happy school life B. waste should be stopped in the school C. students should study harder in the school D. China is rich in some resources B The wedding（婚礼）between Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 is on everyones lips now. A common girl is marrying a prince and living in a palace as a princess（公主）. Queen Elizabeth II as well as her family has made full preparations for the wedding. The wedding menus are secret, but it has been told that the wedding party will include two cakes: a traditional fruit cake as the wedding cake and a chocolate cake preferred by Prince William. Kate and William have chosen two choirs（唱诗班）, an orchestra, and other musical groups for the wedding at Westminster Abbey. UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife have been invited to the wedding, but US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have not. Among the 1,900 guests are football star David Beckham and his wife who could probably make William and Kate seem less important. Kate is keeping silent about her wedding dress. But William is very likely to wear a military uniform（军装）for the wedding. The wedding day has been made an official public holiday in Britain and the whole world will watch it on the big day. 41The underlined words “on everyones lips” probably means _. A. welcomed by everyone B. talked about by everyone C. noticed by everyone D. wished by everyone 42From the passage, we can know that William _.

A. the public neednt work on the wedding day B.

British wedding customs B. the Queen and her family C. suggestions on a wedding party D. the wedding between William and Kate C Do you know how to be happy? Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life. Play that song you love so much. As we all know, repetition can lead to pleasure. When you experience something more than once, you notice more information about it each time, and it increases your enjoyment. Thats why you love revisiting that jazz club, the favorite restaurant, and the old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you cant overdo it. Dont buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist（经济学家）Tyler says that much of the joy we get from buying things lies in the experience of choosing them, getting them home, and opening them up. If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, youll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one at a time and pleasure follows. Look outside. Our ancestors spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. Getting close to nature makes you happy. _. Staying with animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress. People can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes with pets. Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood（心情）. Heres why: when you look happy, people do better to you, which in turn leads you to be happy. Whats more, looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy. 46According to the writer, buying things one at a time can _. A. help us save some money B. spare time for other activities C. increase our experience of happiness D. give us more time to consider buying things 47Whats the best title for Paragraph 5? A. Pet an animal B. Exercise the brain C. Decrease work stress D. Hang out more often 48What does the underlined word “decrease” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 提高 B. 聚积 C. 排除 D. 减少 49Which of the following is right? A. Smiles fool others mood. B. Repetition results in pleasure. C. Animals add to your stress. D. Spending time outside harms your spirit. 50What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. The effect of pleasure on life. B. The writers own experience. C. Another way to find pleasure. D. Reasons for finding more pleasure. D Have you ever heard an echo（回声）of your voice? An echo is a reflected（反射）sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called echoes. We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about 50cm from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard. Make the roll of cardboard about 50cm long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear. A megaphone（喇叭筒）works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam（光束）which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. 2011年蚌埠市普通高中自主招生考试（英语试题） 第 4 页 共 7 页 Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far. We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats（蝙蝠）and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them. 51What is called an “echo”? A. Very loud voices that are made by man. B. Very loud voices that are made by animals. C. The sound that comes from the walls. D. The sound that is made by man or animals comes back from some place. 52We can hear our echoes if we shout . A. in a small room B. in the open air C. in narrow valleys（山谷） D. in a large house full of things 53Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall? . a. We hear the reflected sound. b. The sound returns to us. c. The sound hits the walls. d. We make a sound. A. c, b, a, d B. c, a, b, d C. d, c, b, a D. d, b, c, a 54From the text we learn that_. A. bats use reflected sound to fly and get food B. people havent made use of reflected sound yet C. reflected sound is useful only to blind people D. whales dont use reflected sound as they live in the sea 55If you havent got a megaphone, will help you to make your voice travel farther. A. a thin thread B. a roll of cardboard C. a long piece of wood D. a long piece of silk 2011年蚌埠市普通高中自主招生考试（英语试题） 第 5 页 共 7 页 第卷 主观题（共35分） 第一节 单词拼写 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 根据首字母或汉语提示，在每句的空白处填入一个单词，使句意完整。 56Christmas is c_ on the 25th of December. 57Exercise makes a difference in p_ and fighting against diseases. 58If were not around, you can leave a m_ and well call you back. 59It can be helpful to s_ your feelings with someone you trust. 60In most Chinese schools, students learn English as their f_ language. 61With the rapid _（发展）of technology, people live an easier and better life. 62I want to work at home on a Tuesday but as it turns out sometimes its a _（星期三）. 63He _（意识到）he was in the wrong and promised to turn over a new leaf. 64Some have called him the greatest writer of the _（二十）century. 65I was _（想知道）if you might want to take in a movie with me this evening. 第二节 完成句子（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 根据每句汉语提示，完成句子，使句意完整。 66With so many changes, I cant imagine _（蚌埠会是什么样子）in three years. 67The more I know him, _（我越不喜欢他）. 68He warned me _（不要在公共场所吸烟）. 69He is one of the students _（擅长绘画）in my class. 70This is _（那么舒适的地方） that we all want to stay here for a longer time. 71_（多么愉快的一次旅行）it is! 72_（我花了）thirty dollars to buy the dictionary last week. 73My hair is too long, and I need_（理发）. 74_（是平衡的饮食）that keeps you in good condition. 75I dont think Princess Kate is a common girl, _（是吗）? 第三节 短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子的语法结构和行文逻辑，在空白处填入适当的单词；或根据首字母提示写出该单词。 The Silk Road was the most important connection between the east and the west.
