高二下学期英语第六次周练A层试卷命 题: 肖 嵋阅读理解(每小题2分,共30分) AOn the night of November 14, 1978, a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that kind of person. I just shrugged it off.As an adopted child, I have something that others dont have. I have had the benefit of two families. Im lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I dont understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and what did not. 26.

BThe behavior of a buildings users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too. The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency ，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments. Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything, explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher， consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ” In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home. Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers dont have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，its hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈） facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters. Social science research has added a further dimension (方面),suggesting that individualsbehaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example. Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them.31.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of_.

D.The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.34.The information gap in energy use _. A.can be bridged by feedback facilities B.affects the study on energy monitors C.brings about problems for smart metersD.will be caused by building users old habits35.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest? A.The social science research is to be furthered.B.The education programme is under discussion.C.The behavior of building users is unpredictable.D.The behavior preference of building users is similar.根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项How do you improve your spelling? 36 Just as we learn spoken language by hearing lots of people speaking, we learn written language, including spelling, by reading what a lot of people write. Spelling is not about how a word sound, its about how it looks on the page, which means you have to look at a lot of words on the page to learn the correct spelling about it. Make a list of your commonly misspelled words. 37 When you get a chance, look it up and put the correct spelling next to it.38 If you look it up more than once, add it to your personal list. Write! Write! Write! 39 When you look it up how to spell a word, write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later. 40 Write a blog, a journal, e-mails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.A. There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.B. Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.C. Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.D. Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.E. Youre trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.F. The only way to really learn a word is to use it, and that counts for spelling as much as for learning its meaning.G. When you catch yourself spelling the same word wrong over and over, write it down somewhere.完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) Having been out of work for two years because of poor health，I decided to look for a part time jobI 41 and interviewed again and again with no progress.
