I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop _36_ me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very _37_ to earn my own pocket money and my parents _38_ interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spening it _39_. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the _40_, I would become more mature(成熟的) and _41_ about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

Like many _42_ parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they _43_ a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered unversity, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around _44_. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great _45_ for me.

cousins _47_ through the country who could _48_ shelter and help if I needed them.

Three years later, my younger brother decided to _49_ a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.

These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly _53_. Most parents start _54_ their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have _55_ the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on. 36.A.taught

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.

The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer----Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.

Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.

Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left, fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16800 for it. 60.Over a century ago, Mauritius ____. A.was an independent country

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器) and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more, afterwards, return to full or part-time work, Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.

63.We are told that ____ in an average of family at the end of the 19th century.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell (咆哮). But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise

2020-2021学年度高三年级第一学期期末英语统一考试试卷

blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution(解决办法) is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

67. “Damaging emotion” means that ____. A.the emotion is harmless

B.the emotion is harmful

D.the feeling is hard

A.Were you angry, you would be cancered. B.Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C.Angry as you are often, you can’t be cancered. D.Anger may cause you a cancer.

69.Expressing anger violently ____ repressing it according to some scientists. A.is just the same as C.is no better than

B.is more harmful than D.is much better than

70.According to the author, you’d better ____. A.never be angry it

C.laugh and laugh when you get angry angry

D.admit you are wrong when you are

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished aswering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”

This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical (符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child (参加) in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.

Never push a child to “think”. It doesn’t make sense. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.

Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

71.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is ____. A.to let them see the world around curiosity

C.to explain difficult phrases about science D.to supply the children with lab equipment

B.any problems

C.questions from textbooks D.any number of questions

C.tell them to answer the next day after a question

B.The fourth and fifth D.The seventh

D.wait at least for three seconds
