湖北省黄冈中学2015-2016学年高一（上）期末英语试卷（解析
版）

21．（6分）HAVE you ever gotten a song kept in your head？You sing it all the time﹣on your way to school，before sleep，even when you're sitting on the toilet．You want to forget it，but the music just keeps sounding in your head．
Some people call these annoying songs\they are just like parasites（寄生虫）﹣they\them to．
But why do some songs become earworms and not others？According to Ira Hyman，a music psychologist at Western Washington University，people are more likely to remember songs that are simple and repetitive，especially ones with that type of music．\best，\﹣graph．
If you've got an earworm，you can suffer an attack without even hearing it．Seeing words from the song or hearing someone mention it could both cause the domino effect that starts the song running．
Scientists have been trying to find a solution to deal with earworms．They say the best way is to fill your mind with something else．But here is the tricky part：the task you do should be neither too hard nor too easy．The harder you try not to think about the music，the more you won't be able to help it．On the contrary，a task like jogging which is too easy won't keep your brain busy enough，and that could allow the song to come back．
\key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge．\Hymen．Reading a difficult book or a good novel could count．
21．What can we 1earn from the passage？ A．People may sing earworms everywhere．
B．You can suffer an attack of an earworm on hearing it．
C．You can forget the melody by trying hard not to think about it．
D．Hearing someone sing the song can't start the song running in your head． 22．What kinds of songs will probably become earworms？ A．Classical songs． B．Songs we 1ike best．
C．Simple and repetitive songs． D．Songs that are unfinished．
23．According to the article，if you want to get rid of earworms，you should ． A．Listen to a new song B．Try not to think of the song C．Read an interesting novel D．Do some exercise like jogging．
24．（8分）I can well remember the pain．My stomach was sick，my heart hurt，and my eyes painful from holding hack tears．
\，Annie，\，\You．\．\basketball team is because the coach likes you．It's not because you're good．\thought I might be sick．\said they're tired of you always getting what you want．\
I struggled to keep myself from crying，sinking to my knees on the cold floor．After John told me everything my supposed best friends said about me，I was hurt． Joanna and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened．Joanna was still my deskmate，and Andrea was still my partner for our history project．I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had perfect friendship，especially since they'd said such hurtful things．
I was a freshman in high school，and I felt like I didn't have a friend in the world，all because of a gossip．
The tongue can be our worst enemy．Gossips harm confidence and separate close friends．They are like sharp knives，cutting one's self﹣respect into pieces．When we say unkind things about others，we're sticking knives into their hearts．
So how was I to act next？When Joanna and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn't changed，I thought of attacking them back．But instead，I told them directly that they had hurt me．Joanna started crying and Andrea was speechless．I knew they were both sorry for what they had said．They apologized，and I forgave them．Sure，things were a little uncomfortable at first，but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before．
I still deal with gossip，sometimes as a receiver and sometimes as a sharer．But the more I learn about love，the more I realize the importance of encouraging others﹣something gossip never does．
24．From the first two paragraphs，we can conclude that Joanna and Andrea ． A．were grateful that the writer was their friend B．did not think the writer was the coach's favorite C．were unhappy about the writer being on the team D．made fun of the writer's basketball performances
25．How did the writer deal with her friends'comments about her？ A．She decided to fight back immediately． B．She pretended that nothing had happened． C．She found it uncomfortable to speak to them． D．She told them how she felt about their words． 26．The writer's reaction to gossips is ． A．unconcerned B．positive C．negative D．unclear 27．According to the story，we can infer ．
A．gossips are sticking knives into people's hearts
B．we couldn't live in a world without gossips，but love can be a helper C．We have to be patient when we hear gossips about our friends D．We should be careful around our friends since they may cheat us．
28．（8分）What is a digital flatbed printer？It is a multi﹣functional printer．It can be used to print things on T﹣shirts，wood，glass，plastic and metal．
