But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant 16 how quickly time has passed.If you are familiar with this 17 , youll know how time flies when you are having fun-and 18 when you are bored . Now scientists have 19 a reason why this is the case.Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 20 according to how we focus on a task. When we are 21 , we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains 22 the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment 23 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 24 researchers monitored their brain activity.The volunteers were told to 25 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then 26 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that 27 was more active when the volunteers paid 28 subjects.It is thought that if the brain is 29 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 30 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 31 , time passes without us really 32 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 33 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 34 , time seems to drag.Next time you feel bored 35 , perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!16AguessBlearnCbelieveDdoubt17AviewBpointCscene Dexperience18AdragsBstopsCbacksDgains19Athought overBmade upCsuggestedDcome up with20AchangeBdevelopCgrowDslow21Asleepy BboredCexcitedDactive22AreportBthinkCdecideDsee23AproducedBcarriedCtriedDperformed24AsoBwhenCwhileDbut25ApartlyBquicklyChowDfirst26Aremember Bfocus onCforgetDtell apart27Athe researchersBthe experimentCthe clockDthe brain28Amuch attention toBmore attention toCattention to manyDattention to more29AbusyBlikelyCreadyDsure30AfocusBgatherCreachDspread31AHoweverBFurthermoreCThereforeDFinally32ArecognizingBwatching Cnoticing Dcounting33AenoughBfull CrightDproper34AIn factBAs a resultCFor exampleDInstead35Ain classBwith workCin mindDof lessons第三节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AA crowd gathered outside a hotel where a very famous millionaire had just been knocked down and killed.

He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didnt have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didnt know how to go on living.It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldnt go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldnt give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Dont say so in our village, sir!”“Im sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I dont know its Hitlers home town.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “Its pigs hometown!”38.

Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.” “I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds，they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？”The third man thought for a long time，and then he said, “Well，I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However，in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos？”they exclaimed. “But thats a simple thing.”“Oh, no，its not, ”the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether its winter or summer？”43.The underlined word “thermos” means in Chinese “ _ ”.A.电冰箱 B.洗衣机 C.电风扇 D.保温瓶44.The three men could not agree on what the worlds greatest wonder was because _.A. they could not think of anything very wonderful B. they all had different ideasC. they could not prove that their opinions were rightD. the journey ended too soon45.The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because _.A. they were very beautiful B. they were EgyptianC. they had been built with very simple tools D. they could do mathematical calculations46.The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because _.A. it lasted longer than the pyramidsB. it cost less than a computerC. he thought it knew whether it was winter or summerD. the other two men were surprised when he told them about it47.The third man was not very clever because _.A. he could not think of anything to sayB. he did not understand how a thermos worksC. he did not think the pyramids were wonderful D. he did not know anything about computersDNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.Some memories can ruin peoples lives . They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.48. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill49. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop peoples bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to peoples healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America50. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.第四节 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。（共5选项 每小题2分 满分10分）Growing up is hard to do_51_Do you remember playing house as a childpretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults(成年人) find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”(kidadult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia._52_Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big , Garfield-shaped cushion(垫子)on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(配饰)._53_For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released(出版)the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else knows that an adult is actually reading a childrens book. “Kidualts can be like vitamins(维生素)society. Adults who keep their childhood and have the pure, childlike feelings may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee Songjun, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies(韩国外国语大学)._54_It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Green, a consultant(顾问)in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They refuse to give up childhood because working in a busy and worrying city frightens them._55_ “So, they can escape from increasingly complex and worrying lives that are hard to deal with,” Green said.A.Some kidults collect toys they once played with.B.Every kid wishes to be an adult.C.Kidults want to be younger.D.Other kidults still enjoy childrens stories and fairy tales.E.Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.F.Kidults dont like the toys they once played with.G.He also said that kidult culture may fill the generation gap(代购)between adults and kids.51._ 52._ 53_ 54._ 55._2009-2010学年度高二年级第二学期英语期终考试第一卷（选择题）第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）1 2 3 4 56 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15AAAAA AAAAA AAAAABBBBB BBBBB BBBBBCCCCC
