It clearly shows Chinas _33_ to take the opportunity of holding the Olympics to promote winter sports across the country The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games were praised as a success by almo

23、st every _34_: the wonderful opening ceremony, the tight security, the large crowds of _35_ volunteers, and Team Chinas place atop the gold-medal rankings. Each aspect of the event signaled the countrys arrival as a world power, capable of competing with the best and winning. If 2008 was about China

24、 getting a seat at the table, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games _36_ a different purpose. Chinas status as a global power is no longer in question. Beijing 2022 will not be just a two-week sporting event but the _37_ of a multi-year campaign to promote winter sports. “ We no longer need to put on shows

25、of ten thousand people performing Tai Chi,” said Zheng Kan. “ Now we just want to show that we are relatable.” While the audience for winter sports may still be a small, relatively rich group, it is growing.

39、Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was born in Engl

40、and with perfect hearing. In 1990, when I was five, my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didnt have health insurance at the time, and when I got a third infection, my parents couldnt afford the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and

41、was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time, my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today. My doctors predicted that I would be thoroughly deaf by now, so I think Im doing pretty well. There was always music on in my house in my childhood. I loved listening to Metallica,

42、Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco, folk, rock, and music from other countries. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant he owned. After doing that for a few weeks, I was hooked. I desired to learn more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished

43、New York City DJ, when I was 25: “ I know you like a challenge. How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day; “ Challenge accepted.” He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a day. Now when Im performing, muscle

44、 memory takes over. When I started, I wouldnt tell the club managers that I was deaf. I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. At the end of the night, someone would say, “Oh, heres the check. ” And Id say, “ What? Oh, I cant hear. ” They were always so astonished. Sometimes

45、I would bring doctors notes because they wouldnt believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, not out of sympathy. Eventually people started calling me “ that deaf DJ, ” and the name stuck. What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativ

46、ity. I use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. Im visually hearing the music. The next time you go dancing, cover your ears, and youll start seeing that youre able to hear the music in a different way. Music is not all about hearing. I pay all sorts of get-togethe

47、rs now, from college parties to corporate events. I also go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. Im big on talking to the parents. I tell them, “ My advice to you is let your kids chase their dreams. Im a deaf DJ, so why not? ”56.

48、Which of the following might result in the authors hearing loss?A. Monthly ear infection.B. Moving to the U. S. C. Family financial hardshipD. The doctors prediction. 57. How did DJ Shiftee help the author during his youth?A. He taught him correct skills.B. He discovered his talent for DJ. C. He pla

49、yed at the restaurant for him.D. He cultivated his taste for foreign music. 58. The underlined expression in Paragraph 3 “ the name stuck” probably means that _. A. the author was in low spiritsB. the author impressed people deeply C. the audience felt disappointed by the player D. the audience look

50、ed down upon the player 59. We can conclude from the passage that the author loves deejaying because _. A. working as a DJ involves innovation B. music helps him to see the world virtually C. he motivates the kids to realize their dream D. he desires to challenge something impossible(B) Frequently A

51、sked QuestionslUNICEF is the United Nations Childrens Fund.When created in 1946 to help children in war-torn Europe, China and the Middle East, UNICEF stood for “United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund.” In 1947, UNICEF USA was founded, one year after UNICEF, to support UNICEFs lifesav

52、ing work for children.By 1953, UNICEFs task was extended to address the needs of children in the developing world. At that time, the words “international” and “emergency” were dropped from the organizations name, making it simply the United Nations Childrens Fund. UNICEF has helped save more childre

53、ns lives than any other humanitarian（人道主义） organization.lWe work for the survival, protection and development of children worldwide through fundraising, advocacy and education.lUNICEF secures volunteers, who must have at least a Bachelors Degree and two-to-five years experience in their field of exp

54、ert knowledge and skills, through the United Nations Volunteers program.If you are a citizen of the United States and meet the above standards, send your rsum to the United Nations Volunteers program at the following address for more information: United Nations Volunteers, c/o Peace Corps, 1111 20th

55、 St. N.W., Washington, DC 20526.If you are interested in volunteering within the United States,.lSome have asked us about donating goods here in the U.S. for emergency relief efforts abroad. While we are grateful for the desire to help, UNICEF does not accept non-cash goods. Why?Financial donations

56、are the fastest and most efficient way to provide assistance. Donated goods must be screened（筛查）, sorted, stored and transported. UNICEF pre-positions supplies to speed up delivery and sources them locally whenever possible.A blanket donated today can take weeks, or even months, to arrive abroad., h

57、owever, will be arranged tomorrow to buy lifesaving supplies.We also purchase supplies in large quantities to save money. That means your financial donation will get more supplies to more kids in need than your donation of non-cash goods.60. Which of the following statements is true of UNICEF USA?A.

58、 It no longer provides emergency fund.B. It is localized to focus on national affairs.C. It was originally created for kids education.D. It supports children growth at home and abroad.61. If you want to be a UNICEF USA volunteer, _ is NOT a must.A. required education backgroundB. related working exp

59、erienceC. American nationalityD. educational program participation62. Financial donation is a better choice than non-cash goods because of _.A. the good willB. operational efficiencyC. local assistanceD. the reliable supply (C)Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to

60、see what life would be like if she stopped laughing at things that werent funny. Turns out it wasnt as easy as she thought. “It was so hard,” she says. “ Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and its really hard not to do it.”Higgins suggests theres something particularly special about bein

61、g part of the shared experience that is live comedy that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh.Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. Theyre interwoven into our everyday existence. Whether youre sharing an

62、amusing story at a party or telling a dark joke at a funeral, humour is everywhere. But what is it for? And can humour, as comedy, change how we feel, what we think or even what we do?As an essential part of human interaction, humour has been on the minds of thinkers for centuries. One of the most e

63、nduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour appears to make fun of the weak and exert superiority. While this is clearly the function of some comedy, its far from a complete explanation for the overall purpose of humour.For some comedians, its

64、not just about getting laughs its about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. If theres one comic who is really typical of this, its Josie Long. A social justice activist and a comedian, Long has a reputation for delightful, optimistic humour and storytelling.As her career has evolved, s

65、he has consciously put social and political topics at the heart of her act. She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day.British comic Stephen K Amos sells out venues seating thousands, year in, year out. Amos firmly believes that when co

66、mics consciously deal with pressing or controversial （有争议的）social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someones mood. And while it may be difficult to quantify, he says, the social and psychological impact of comedy deserves

67、much greater recognition.The research backs this up. Although the role of comedy is to be entertaining first and foremost, Sharon Lockyer, a sociologist who studies humour, has identified a number of possible other functions. These include challenging stereotypes (刻板印象).Amoss work frequently settles

68、 the issues of race by challenging stereotypes.”I dont do things for shock value,” he says. “ I do stuff that matters to me. In the old days it was just about doing jokes. Weve moved on people are talking about things that matter. ”63. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?A. The benefi

69、ts of laughing.B. What a comedians daily work is about.C. Why Maeve Higgins chose to be a comedian.D. Maeve Higgins understanding of the appeal of comedy.64. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Protect the weak from the evil.B. Encourage people to be stronger.C. Be d

70、etermined to improve oneself.D. Show you are better than other people.65. According to the article, how does comedy have an effect on social issues?A. By gradually influencing peoples attitudes.B. By urging politicians to try and solve the issues.C. By quickly yet thoroughly changing peoples thinkin

71、g.D. By calling on the whole society to pay attention to the issues.66. According to the article, comedy includes the following roles except _ .A. getting people to laughB. promoting social progressC. influencing peoples ideasD. making people more productiveSection C （共8分 每题2分）Directions: Read the f

72、ollowing passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Pink became an expression of delicacy.B. The color was in fact, often considered more appropriate for little boys because it was

73、seen as a paler (浅的) red, which had manly implications. C. Pink was regarded as simple, because of its association with women, who have been traditionally looked down upon.D. Society is increasingly moving away from the idea of it as a childish color.E. French designer Paul Poiret created dresses in

74、 pale pinks, pushing the shade back into the field of high fashion.F. Society decides what colors mean.Throughout the centuries, pink has assumed a range of guises (表现形式). The way it is sensed by society has also changed over the years. In the West, pink first became fashionable in the mid-1700s, wh

75、en European aristocrats (贵族) were dressed in pink as a symbol of class. Madame de Pompadour loved the color so much that, in 1757, French porcelain manufacturer Svres named its new shade of pink “Rose Pompadour” after her. Pink was not then considered a girls color infants of both genders were dress

76、ed in white. _67_ The colors more recent association with femininity (女性气质) started around the mid-19th century, according to Valerie Steele, editor of the book Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color. She explained, “Men in the Western world increasingly wore dark colors, leaving bright

77、er options to females _68_ . ” By the turn of the century, pink had entered the mainstream and its status shifted in the process. The advent of industrialization and mass production led to comparatively cheap dyes (染料). Pink went from luxury to working class. Its guises continued to change throughou

78、t the 1900s. _69_ By the 1950s, pink had become more gender-coded than ever. The branding and marketing in post-war America that used it as a symbol of super-femininity, strengthened a “pink for girls, blue for boys” stereotype. Pink did not regain its popularity until the 1960s, when public figures

79、 such as Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe adopted it as a mark of luxury. In more recent decades, pink has also been accepted as a color of protest and awareness for various communities. For example, it has become internationally equivalent to the fight against breast cancer, in the form of a pink

80、ribbon. “Pink is going through a generational shift,” Steele said. “_70_ Theres a shared recognition that pink can be pretty and powerful and feminine. Were redefining pink.”. 71. Summary Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how

81、it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.In the past two hundred years, people have caused many kinds of animals to die out. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread over the land, they destroy animals homes. If animals cant find a place to live,

82、they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes. Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons

83、 in North America and most of the buffaloes（水牛）. Pollution is killing many animals today, too. As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish cant lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds arent born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. Bu

84、t some, such as the bald eagle （白头鹫）and the brown pelican（鹈鹕）, have become rare and may die out. Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there anymore. If

85、the animals cant learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs （恐龙）may have died out for this reason.V.

94、 Jane Lang and Mo Yan. He is very popular with teenagers.The reasons for my choice are as follows.First of all, questions about how to overcome difficulties will be raised. As we all know, Jay Chou was not a successful figure when he released his songs for the first time. Like many ordinary people,

95、he struggled, sought for jobs and felt frustrated. However, with his passion for music and hard work, he was discovered by many celebrities and started a different life. So I think he can give us many useful suggestions on how to undergo difficulties and overcome obstacles and share his lessons with

96、 us.Then I would like to ask for some suggestions about how to deal with social problems. We teenagers are about to step into our society and it is inevitable for us to be faced with sensitive affairs. With his patience, wisdom and thoughtfulness, Jay Chou has smoothly solved a recent issue between

97、a writer and him, which is very tough and thorny. I think, teenagers can learn a lot from his experiences and be more capable of solving social problems.In conclusion, as a successful and well-named celebrity, Jay Chou is a good choice/candidate to interview.高一年级英语试卷听力录音文字Section A1.
