山东临沂市高二上期末统考英语试卷

Dear Mr. Plant,
I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer, but after being offended（冒犯）for the third time at your Sierra Vista location, I am writing to complain about your impolite employees.
Several months ago ,I bought a tent that leaked（漏）the first time I used it and wanted it replaced .  When I took it back, your employees accused me of tearing it myself. I left not only withm1, torn tent, but no refund(退款) and no satisfaction.
A  couple of weeks ago ,  I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably.  It didn't.  Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt. I was asked to leave the store, again with no satisfaction.
To my misfortune, my latest purchase(购买), of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment.  The propane  (丙烷) camp stove I bought didn't work properly. When I returned to exchange it, the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt. It was an even exchange! He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices.  Was he accusing me of something? Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange? Why  would I know the price at other stores?
Furthermore, the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove! How can I go camping now? The tent leaks, the sleeping bag is just wrong, and I don't have a stove to keep warm ! Who is going to refund my money for my stove? Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store?
You, as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately! I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store.
Sincerely ,
Ima Kumpanee

The uninvolved dad, turning up his nose at diapering(换尿布) and too busy to bathe, dress and play with his kids,  is mostly a myth(神话) , a big government survey suggests.  Most American fathers say they are heavily involved in hands-on parenting, the researchers found.
The results are encouraging and important " because others have found the more involved dads  are, the better the outcomes for their children. " said researcher Jo Jones of the National Center for  Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. She co-authored the report  released Friday.
"Times have changed," said Robert Loftus, 34, of Yonkers, NY. He quit a six-figure sales  job a year ago to care for his two young children while his wife works full time. "We are trying to  rethink our priorities (优先考虑的事)  and family seem to be N0 1  priority while in the past maybe people were more focused on career. "
The study involved nearly 4.000 fathers who were interviewed in person between 2009 and 2013.
◇Key findings among fathers living with children younger than 5 :
*9 in 10 bathed, diapered, helped them use the toilet or get dressed at least several times weekly .
* Even higher numbers played with them and ate meals with them that often
* Almost 2 0ut of 3 read to them at least several times weekly.
◇Among dads living with kids aged 5-18.
* More than 9 0ut of 10 ate meals with them at least several times weekly and talked with them about what happened during the kids' day that often.
* Almost 2 0ut of 3 helped with homework several times weekly.
* About half took their kids to or from activities that often.
Dr. David Hill, a Wilmington, N. C. pediatrician (儿科医生) said the survey reflects what he's seen among his patients'  fathers.  Increasingly, fathers rather than mothers take their kids to the doctor.  Some "are anxious about changing a diaper, "  he said.
Census(调查) numbers show that there were almost 190,000 stay-at-home dads nationwide last year versus 93,000 in 2010.  Loftus, the New York stay-at-home dad, said, "I feel fortunate to be able to be such a hands-on father.  I'm doing the most significant occupation in the world. "
What can we learn about the research?

According to the text, Robert Loftus would agree that______.

Dr David Hill seems to consider the findings of the report ______ .

What can we learn from Loftus' s words in the last paragraph?

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

Just like children, baby animals spend countless hours at play. After studying animal play for many years, scientists recognize that young animal play is practice for adult behavior. Today this play is roughly divided into the following groups.
Locomotor play refers to the movements animals carry out in their play.  Running, leaping, turning, and kicking are some of the most common examples of locomotor play.  An adult deer may  run, leap, and twist(曲折前进) to escape its attackers.  Play movements like these surely make  young animals nimble. Someday these skills might help save their lives.
Moving forward slowly, attacking suddenly .and biting are examples of predatory play that help  young predators(食肉动物) prepare for a life of running after and taking hold of other animals.  Wild cats, wolves, and bears are predators. It is very common to see these young animals play this  kind of games which sharpen their skills and teach them about their strengths and limitations.
For children, playing with toys is both fun and educational. It helps improve their hand and  eye movements as well as develop hand skills to accomplish tasks. It is the same with animals.  Young chimpanzees improve their hand skills while playing with sticks. Birds also play with things  in ways that teach. Swallows drop and recover feathers in mid air. Diving suddenly to catch the  feathers is good practice for catching flying insects.
Social play helps animals learn how to behave when they run into other animals. And it teaches  animals about communication. An animal gives signals to let another animal know it wants to play.  Many animals give signals by showing a " play face" .  In some ways this face is like a human smile; the animal holds its mouth in a relaxed and open manner.  During play-fights, some animals may step backwards to signal that they are playing and not acting seriously.
Until now, scientists have understood playful acts help prepare animals for their serious adult situations.  But the numbers of playful species and examples of animal play are vast.  The purpose of animal play may have meanings scientists have not discovered yet.
The main purpose of the text is to ______.

The underlined word "nimble" in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by______.

Which of the following belongs to predatory play?

Based on Paragraph 5, a " play face " is______.
A. a type of signal between animals
B. a name for a kind of animal play
C.  an activity that involves adult animals
D  an action that is taught to another animal
Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

The key to getting along with others is good communication skills. Communication is one of the biggest challenges in relationships between men and women.  Researchers say that the main problem is different communication styles. Men and women have very different communication styles.   .
Men's communication style is more direct.  They usually take a direct approach to a problem and suggest a solution. Men often make decisions more quickly than women. They also prefer to make decisions by themselves.  Women's communication style is to discuss problems and ask other people for their opinions. Women like to talk with other people before they make a decision.
Women like to discuss personal issues and talk about their feelings. Talking about problems is important in friendships for women. Even at school or on the job, women are more comfortable talking about personal topics and feelings.  .  Many men don't like to talk about emotions and feelings. Men like to talk about current events, business, and personal accomplishments. In conversations, it is important for men to see who is leader in the group. Men often talk about important things they have done.  Men build friendships by doing activities together.
. First, women may think it is important to discuss how they feel about a problem. Men, however, prefer to come to a solution. Second, men often think that women are complaining, because women want to continue talking about their feelings.  Men offer a solution to a problem, and then want to talk about something else. The third problem is that women often think that men don' t want to discuss things. Actually, men just-want to discuss different things. As men and women learn more about their different communication styles.  they can better understand each other.

E.  Men must know that women have quite different communiC8tion styles.
F. Different communication styles cause problems in relationships in several ways.
G. Understanding the differences can help men and women communicate more effectively.
