But many people also live busy lives, and for them finding time to sit quietly and read is different, if not impossible. Fortunately, with the coming of the Internet an high-tech tools like the iPad, morepeople are making literature a part if their lives again.A very special website now makes it possible for people to listen to books that they simply would not have time to read. The site is called Audible Inc. ,and its the best place to download audio books. Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of these books have been recorded. They include nearly every classic, as well as most newly-published ones. Most of these are read by voice actors who really bring the text to life.Audible Inc. Lets you easily and quickly download a book and load it onto your iPad or other MP3 players, or onto CDs so that you can listen in your car. The site is like A, but for audio books. It includes thousands of recommendations and customer reviews that are extremely helpful. The site lets you listen to a free piece of each book so you can tell ahead what the narrator(讲述者）sounds like. No wonder that most people who listen to an audio book for the first time are immediately attracted.This is the perfect opportunity to find out what so many people know about audio books. But be careful-you may become attracted to audio books for life.24. Who might be most interested in Audible Inc. ?A. People who have iPad.B. People who travel a lot.C. Teenagers who love writing.D.

In the last paragraph, the author_.A. shows the benefits of audio booksB. advises people to choose audio booksC. stresses the great attraction of audio booksD. warns people against addiction to readingC.Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey”spoken instruc-tions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.高二英语试卷 第4页（共10页）Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.it is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment , and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speechIt is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannt be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.28. Before children start speaking _.A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions29. Children who start speaking late _ .A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly30. A babys first noises are _ .A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageA. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults31. The writer implies _.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingD.The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few daysago, my car was not running well . I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just afew minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes, “ Job means just over broke.” And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “ live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, “ How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?”, almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “ So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.32. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that _ .A. he has a sharp sense of hearingB. he is ready to help othersC. he is just one of the talented peopleD. he knows little about car repairing33. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be replaced by “ _ ”A. spend money than they can afford B. do in their own wayC. live in their own circle D. live within what they earn34. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author ?A. They lack financial intelligence. B. They dont work hard enough.C. They dont make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills35. The main purpose of the author is to tell us _ .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach studentsC. how McDonalds makes much moneyD. why so many talented people are poor第2节 （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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A new report says plastics are responsible for $ 13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 36 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 37 After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not boidegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants(污染物). 38 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.39 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also workwhere old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 40 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment,But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.A. Then ,fish may eat the plastics.B. But people can make a big difference.C. Plastics should be gathered together and refused .D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E. It asks for them to better measure and control plastic use .F. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters .G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 ：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）One day a man was asked to paint a boat by the owner of the boat.
