12、ion,since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW,it always takes the people by surpri

13、se.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS! Flooding!What a surprise!Then in the summer,it gets very hot.If it

14、 had been Thailand or Australia,thered be no problem.It is supposed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains,summertime brings drought! But

15、 do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldnt it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then means that in emergency people are stuck!Why is the Brit

16、ish weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（气象学）have commented that the general situation with

17、the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things contribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream,the Polar Maritime air from the North,the Arctic Mar

18、itime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.Theres also fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/cold wet/dry w

21、d with exercising. Most of us listen to our favorite music while jogging in the park or while working out in the gym, but we never think of it as more than just an accompaniment to our exercisc routine. But recent scientific research has thrown light on the fact that using the “right” music while ex

22、ercising can do you a whole lot of good: from creating a feeling of positivity to calming any anxious feelings.Research on the effects of music during exercise has been done for years. In 1911，an American researcher, Leonard Ayres, found that cyclists pedaled faster while listening to music than the

23、y did in silence.This happens because listening to music can drown out our brains cries of fatigue. As our body realizes were tired and wants to stop exercising, it sends signals to the brain to stop for a break. Listening to music competes for our brains attention, and can help us to overcome those

24、 signals of fatigue, though this is mostly beneficial for low-and moderate-intensity exercise. During high-intensity exercise, music isnt as powerful as pulling our brains attention away from the pain of the workout.Not only can we manage to exercise longer and harder when we listen to music, but it

25、 can actually help us to use our energy more efficiently. A 2015 study showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7% less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence. So in the same way that exercising makes us happier, its not surprising that music adds significantly to our w

26、ork-out success.What have you noticed about how music affects you? Next time when you take exercise, select the right music to accompany you. You will find yourself in a more different mood than ever.1、Why do some people listen to music while exercising?AThey attach importance to enjoying music.BThe

27、y know music helps do exercise.CThey find music is an interesting accompaniment.DThey dont give too much consideration to it.2、How will you do when you want to stop exercising?ATo try to listen to the music you like.BTo stop for a rest immediately.CTo tell yourself never to do like that.DTo send a s

28、ignal to your brain.3、It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .Alistening to music can help produce more energyBthe cyclists love listening to music more than othersCpeople should take listening to music seriously while exercisingDsignificant music can benefit high-intensity exercise23（8分）

29、 During the period from 1660 through 1800, Great Britain became the worlds leader. Language itself became submitted to rules during this period. This need to fix the English language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. Guides to the Eng

30、lish language had been in existence before Johnson began his project in 1746. These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words. When definitions of common words were supplied, they were often unhelpful. For example, a “horse” was defined in an early dictionary as “a beast well known”.

31、Johnson changed all that, but the task was not an easy one. Renting a house at 17 Gough Square, Johnson began working in the worst of conditions. Supported only by his publisher, Johnson worked on the Dictionary with five assistants. Compared to the French Academys dictionary, which took forty worke

32、rs fifty-five years to complete (1639-1694), Johnsons dictionary was completed by very few people very quickly.Balanced on a chair with only three legs, Johnson sat against a wall in a room filled with books. Johnson would read widely from these books, mark passages illustrating the use of a particu

33、lar word, and give the books to his assistants so that they could copy the passages on slips of paper. These slips were then stuck to eighty large notebooks under the key words that Johnson had selected. Fixing the word by this method, Johnson could record a word，s usage and its definition.How many

34、passages were used? According to Johnsons modern biographer Walter Jackson Bate, the original total number could have been over 240,000. How many words were defined by the lexicographer? Over 40,000 words appeared in two large books in April of 1755. Did Johnson fully understand the huge task he was

35、 undertaking when he began? As he told his contemporary biographer James Boswell, “I knew very well what I was undertaking and very well how to do it and have done it very well.”1、What is the problem of early English dictionaries?AThey only offer simple pictures.BThey list just a few foreign words.C

36、They simply give some translations.DThey add no more than some big words.2、What does the underlined word “lexicographer” in paragraph 4 refer to?AA publisher.BA biographer.CA maker of dictionaries.DAn assistant.3、What can we infer about Samuel Johnson from the text?AHe standardized English.BHe cared

37、 about authority a lot.CHe gained much financial support.DHe complained of working conditions.4、What is the purpose of this passage?ATo discuss the problems of dictionaries.BTo encourage people to work on a project.CTo persuade people to buy the new dictionary.DTo introduce how Johnson complete his

38、dictionary.24（8分） This Monday, the nation will start to celebrate Presidents Day, just seven days before George Washingtons birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washingtons Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents

39、 Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washingtons Birthday. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the countrys first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washingtons birth is Februa

40、ry 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washingtons birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washingtons birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individuals birthday. In 19

41、68, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holidays name. It was still called Washingtons Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents Day to include Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday

42、is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the countrys first President. They

43、say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term George Washingtons Birthday.but none of those laws have been passed. Meanwhile, many state

44、governments and school districts now use the term Presidents Day.Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents? Write to emailbag and tell us what you think.1、The Presidents Day was originally designed to honor_.A
