I now get around my room and this floor of the hospital with a walking stick but I can go only a little bit at a time because Im awfully weak yet. My right leg was taken out of the cast (石膏) several days ago and its still as stiff as a board and awfully sore from so much carving around the knee joint. But the surgeon says that eventually it will be all right. Ive included a picture of me in bed. It looks like my left leg is a stump (残肢), but it really isnt. Just bent so it looks that way.This war makes us a bit less fools than we were. There isnt going to be any such thing as “foreigners” for me after the war is won. Ive gotten Italian pretty well. Ive picked up quite a lot of Polish and my French is improving. You want to be prepared for a lot of visitors after the war now because Ive a lot of pals coming to see me in Chicago. I dont know when Ill be back. I cant get in the army and they wont take me with two shaky legs in the draft (征兵) if I go home. So I might as well stay over here and avoid the awkwardness for a while.Also Ma, Im in love again. Now dont start worrying about me getting married for Im not. Im not even going to get engaged. So dont write any “God Bless U, My Children”: Not for about 10 years. Youre a dear old kid, and still my best girl. God bless you and write me often I love you.Ernie21. By mentioning that his right leg would be all right, the writer intends to _.A. put his moms mind at easeB. show the cruelty of the warC. persuade his girlfriend to marry himD. get his moms permission to join the army22. We can learn from the letter that _.A. Ernie is able to speak four foreign languagesB. Ernie hopes to keep in touch with his motherC. Ernie hardly made any friends before the warD. Ernie is engaged but hasnt had the plan for marriage23. What emotion is mainly conveyed in the letter?A. Gratitude for doctors. B.Fear about pain.C. Doubt about friendship. D. Love for Mom.BDo dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie(牧羊犬) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 24. From paragraph 2 we know that _ . A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children 25. Both experiments show that _. A. Rico can recognize different things including toys B. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them 26. Which of the following statements is true? A. Rico is born to understand its owners commands.B. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.C. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. D. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities. 27. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog. B. To be friendly to your dog. C. To talk to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.CCustomers chat, read the newspaper and order sandwiches and drinks at August First Bakery & Caf in Burlington, Vermont, but theres something different here. “I was here working on my laptop when I looked over and saw that there was a sign that said laptopfree” says Luna Colt, a student at the University of Vermont. During a recent visit, Colt was shocked that using her computer was against the rules.When owner Jodi Whalen first opened it four years ago, she offered free WiFi to customers. Students like Colt went there in large numbers and started typing awayand staying all day. “We saw a lot of customers come in, look for a table, not be able to find one and leave,” Whalen says. “It was money flowing out of the door for us.” Thats why Whalen decided thered be no more screens. It was a gradual move. She started by shutting down the WiFi two years ago. Then, the caf banned screens during lunch. “A lot of people were bummed out,” Whalen says. “But we actually saw our sales increase.”Whats socially acceptable when it comes to using a laptop in public? Luna Colt thinks its about how much money you spend. “You should buy something every two hours if youre going to be here and just work all day,” Colt says. “As long as youre being a good customer,” she says, “theres nothing wrong with working on a laptop.”Not quite, according to Whalen. “Its less about how much a laptop user buys, and more about table space. Even if they think theyre a good customer because they buy food, theyre still here for long hours,” she says. “To walk into a place and see people looking at their screens with a blank stare, it takes away the community aspect of itof you being in a place with other people,” Whalen adds.28. Why is August First Bakery & Caf different?A. It is only open to university students.B. It offers unusual sandwiches and drinks.C. Those who visit the caf are often very strange.D. Customers are not allowed to use their laptops.29. The underlined words “bummed out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “_”A. grateful B. disappointed C. fortunate D. frightened30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Luna Colt is not popular with Jodi Whalen.B. Luna Colt agrees with what the owner did.C. All the students went there to enjoy the food.D. Jodi Whalen didnt offer WiFi to customers.31. Whats the main idea of the text?A. It is good for our health to stay away from WiFi.B. A caf owner improves sales by saying no to laptops.C. A university student shows how to be a good customer.D. People are efficient while working on a laptop in a caf.DNOT 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. 32. The passage is mainly about _ . A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill C. a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill.33. The drug tested on people can . A. cause the brain to fix memories B. prevent body producing certain chemicals C. stop people remembering bad experiences D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories 34. We can infer from the passage that . A. people doubt the effects of the pills B. the pill will stop peoples bad experiences C. taking the pill will do harm to peoples health D. the pill has probably been produced in America 35. 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.第二节 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。Ask fishermen why they fish and you will get a variety of answers. The book and movie A River Runs Through It tried to answer that question. 36 What are mine? Like most fishermen. I love the peace and quietness of most trips. Imagine the still water at your feet，not a ripple(涟漪)on it. 37 And everything around you looks soft. A splash(飞溅的水)breaks the calm, letting you know there is a fish feeding there. You are totally alone with your thoughts, almost as if you were floating in an isolation (隔离)tank. 38 Trying to make a fish think your lure(诱饵)is its food is not easy. Figuring out where the fish is and why it is there is another part of the challenge. And learning enough about them to consistently catch fish is a challenge most of us dont overcome.The pull of the fish you hook and the efforts to land it without losing it are part of the fun. Struggling with a fish on a rod and reel is very interesting. Good fresh food is another reason why many people go fishing. Getting your own food is another basic need that fishing provides.Competition has become a big part of fishing. I like it, where a group of people go out and try to catch fish. 39 It is nice when you win, but you try to listen and learn from the winner when you are not on top.For many years, I had an irresistible desire to go fishing. I could not wait to get to the waterside and try to show my skills against those fish. I was not happy except when fishing. 40 However, that strong urge is no longer there. Sometimes I miss it.A. The challenge of being cleverer than fish is part of it.B. You must have enough patience when fishing beside a river.C. The truth is that every fisherman has his or her own reasons.D. The fog is just thick enough so trees disappear in the distance.E. As I get older，I still enjoy fishing and all the things mentioned here.F. At the end of the day，you get to compare how many fish you have caught.六校联考高二年级英语试卷第5页/共8页 六校联考高二年级英语试卷第6页/共8页G. That part of the fishing experience lasts for only a few minutes each day.第三部分语言知识运用第一节 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Eleven years ago, it seemed as if the world came to an end.
