河南省濮阳市第二中学高二英语上学期期末试卷含解析一、选择题1. ---- Did you receive the letter the next day?---- No. Somehow, it was three weeks ______ I received it.A. sinceB. whenC. thatD. before参考答案：DD 考查状语从句。
——你按时收到你订购的书了吗?——没有。
不知怎么的,三星期后我才收到。
本题考查It is(was/will be...)some time before...句型,意思是"多久之后才……"。
2. So difficult __________ it to work out the problem that I decided to ask Tom for advice.A. I did findB. did I findC. I have foundD. have I found参考答案：B3. The quality of education in this small school is better than ________ in some larger schools.A. thatB. oneC. itD. this参考答案：A[2015·天津卷]考查比较级中的代词。
句意：这个小型学校的教学质量比一些大一点的学校的教学质量要好。
that代替上文提到的“The quality of education”。
你的感受会如何？这里用it来指代后面if引导的宾语从句，所以选it。
it和that都可以替代“the＋单数可数名词或不可数名词”，都是特指，但it指代前面提到的“同一”事物，而that指前面提到的“同类”事物。
one替代“a＋可数名词单数”，表示泛指。
特指的the one相当于that；the one 的复数形式the ones在口语中也常用those代替；当后面有of短语时，一般用that或those；当有前置修饰语时，只能用one(s)，如the red one。
2021-2022学年河南省濮阳市高二(上)期末英语试卷(附答案详解)
2021-2022学年河南省濮阳市高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AHere are remarkable scientists who improved our understanding of almost everything around us.Click to learn more about the scientists who,through their contributions and discoveries,changed the world as we know it.Galileo（1564-1642）Creating one of the first modern telescopes,Galileo completely changed our understanding of the world,successfully proving the Earth circles around the Sun and not the other way around.His work Two New Sciences laid the groundwork for the science of Kinetics（动力学）and strength of materials.Sir Isaac Newton（1642-1726）Newton was a polymath（博学者）who made investigations into a whole range of subjects including mathematics,physics,and astronomy.In his Principia Mathematica,published in 1687，he laid the foundations for classical mechanics,explaining the law of gravity and the laws of motion.Charles Darwin（1809-1882）Darwin developed his theory of evolution against a background of disbelief and scepticism.He collected evidence over 20 years and published his conclusions in On the Origin of Species （1859）.Marie Curie（1867-1934）A Polish physicist and chemist,Curie discovered radiation and helped to apply it in the field of X-ray.She won the Nobel Prize in both Chemistry and Physics. Albert Einstein（1879-1955）Revolutionised modern physics with his general theory of relativity.He won the Nobel Prize in Physics（1921）for his discovery of the Photoelectric Effect（光电效应），which formed the basis of Quantum（量子）Theory.1.Who is the author of Principia Mathematica？______A. Galileo.B. Sir Isaac Newton.C. Charles Darwin.D. Albert Einstein.2.What do Marie Curie and Albert Einstein have in common？______A. They were the greatest chemists.B. They were the Nobel Prize winners.C. They had a deep study of physics and astronomy.D. They laid the foundation for the development of classical medicine.3.Where can the text be found？______A. In a history book.B. In a novel.C. In an art magazine.D. On a science website.BChen Wei,a high school student,was having dinner when he heard someone screaming from another table.A fellow diner,Zhang Tao,was choking on something.He was holding his throat with his face turning red,while his desperate friends were slapping him on the back.Chen wasted no time.He rushed to Zhang's table at once.With the help of Zhang's friends,he was able to help Zhang to his feet.Then,standing behind Zhang,Chen did the Heimlich manoeuvre.The food was instantly forced out,and Zhang began to breathe again.Choking victims usually have only about four minutes before they collapse（崩溃）and sometimes die,leaving no time for an ambulance to arrive.To solve this problem,in 1974，an American doctor,Henry Heimlich,created the Heimlich manoeuvre,saving thousands of lives around the world.Doing the Heimlich manoeuvre is quick,practical,and easy.It is so easy,in fact,that almost anyone can learn how.If you see someone choking,first call the emergency services.Then,make sure the victim is really choking：A choking person cannot speak.Slapping the victim's back will often force out the obstruction.If this does not work,you can perform the Heimlich manoeuvre by standing behind him and wrapping your arms around his waist.Make a fist with one hand and place it in the upper part of his stomach.Grabbing your fist with your other hand tightly,push up and into his stomach in one motion.Continue doing this until the obstruction is forced out.With choking victims,every minute counts.You can't just sit there and do nothing.Luckily,Chen had learnt how to give first aid in school.Seeing Zhang choking,he remained calm and reacted immediately.Chen later said about the incident, "How could I justify sitting there and doing nothing？We are all humans,and we all have a responsibility to look after one another's welfare"4.What is the Heimlich manoeuvre？______A. An American doctor.B. A choking victim.C. An emergency situation.D. A first aid method.5.Why is choking such a serious condition？______A. Millions of people die of it every year.B. Most of the victims are young children.C. It is minutes before a victim falls down or dies.D. There are no effective ways to save victims from it.6.Which action does the Heimlich manoeuvre NOT include？______A. To make a fist with one hand.B. To hold the victim's throat with one hand.C. To grab your fist with the other hand tightly.D. To stand behind the victim who is really choking.7.Which word can describe the quality of Chen Wei？______A. Ambitious.B. Cooperative.C. Responsible.D. Optimistic.CThe tornadoes that recently struck the U.S.are some of the most destructive and deadly in history.The death in Kentucky,the hardest hit state,reached 80 on Monday,with dozens still unaccounted for.The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year-most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer - is fueling discussion about how climate change may have influenced this deadly disaster."In my 40 years as a meteorologist（气象学家），this was one of the most shocking weather events I've ever witnessed," says Jeff Masters,at Yale Climate Connections. "Watching these storms on Friday night,my thought was, 'Is no season safe？' Extreme tornadoes in December.That was mind blowing to me."Unlike heat waves and floods,the link between a warming world and tornadoes is complex and uncertain.Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change.Tornadoes in December are possible.But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes.According to NOAA's data,there has been a recorded increase in the number of observed tornadoes since 1950，which experts believe is largely due to better technology such as Doppler radar.There's been no observed increase in the frequency of major tornadoes over time.For example,59 of the most severe F5 tornadoes in the U.S.have occurred since 1950.But if the storm that destroyed Kentucky turns out to have been an F5，it will have been the first since 2013-bringing to an end the longest recorded period so far.Nevertheless, "given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere,it makes sensethat it should be having an impact on tornadoes too," says Victor Gensini,an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. "Instead of asking：'Did climate change cause this tornado？'It's better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role," he says.While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn't clear,meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. "I'm worried about the rest of the year to be honest.I don't think we're out of the woods yet," Gensini says.8.What is one difference between the recent tornadoes and the ones in the past？______A. They hit only Kentucky.B. They happened in December.C. They caused no deaths.D. They caught people unprepared.9.What can be inferred in paragraph 3？______A. Waves and floods often follow tornadoes.B. There is an agreement on how tornadoes may change.C. Climate change will make tornadoes the most deadly disaster.D. Scientists are unsure about how climate change influences tornadoes.10.Which statement may Victor Gensini agree with？______A. The climate change most likely has an effect on tornadoes.B. The tornadoes have nothing to do with climate warming.C. The science on climate change is advancing very quickly.D. The climate change will make tornadoes much less frequent.11.What does the underlined phrase " out of the woods" mean in the last paragraph？______A. Out of forest.B. Out of difficulty.C. Out of danger.D. Out of question.D"In time,we will put our eyes to this light and see that these people are the peers of nature.And forgivingly,when they appear we will lift up our song and sing,and say we cannot praise too much of any single thing." It may read like poetry,but these lines weren't composed by a poet-they were written by an artificial intelligence （AI）.It appeared in early December on the face of the UK Pavilion（展馆）at Expo 2020 in Dubai,and it was created from a single word chosen by a visitor to the pavilion,which was then fed to anAI that had previously been trained with millions of lines of poetry.The result forms part of a "Collective Message"-a continuous poetry shown on the bar screens arranged in a circle at one end of the cone-shaped（锥形）pavilion,which was designed by Es Devlin,a British artist whose previous works includes stage sets for the London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony.She is the first female designer of a UK pavilion since the Expo started in 1851.Devlin's inspiration to create Collective Message came from famed scientist Stephen Hawking.In 2015，three years before his death,he approved a competition in which people were invited to submit a potential message for an advanced alien civilization,with the goal of meaningfully representing mankind and our planet.In a similar way,visitors to the pavilion are encouraged to send a message to the AI and acknowledge the role that AI plays in our lives. "We don't want this thing just to be like a museum with lots of different exhibits,and we really want something that visitors could engage with," says Stuart Bradbury of creative agency Avantgarde, "The AI was created specifically for this project,many AI experts and social organizations,including the Poetry Archive,the Poetry Society and the Scottish Poetry Library,worked with developers to train and improve AI output over six months,and we think we've created something really special."12.Who is the designer of the Collective Message？______A. Stephen Hawking.B. Stuart Bradbury.C. Es Devlin.D. Poetry Archive.13.Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in the third paragraph？______A. To introduce the theme of the Expo 2020.B. To popularize the world-famous scientist.C. To state the source of inspiration for this project.D. To increase the authority of the design of the pavilion.14.Which statement is right according to the article？______A. Es Devlin is the first female artist in British history.B. Es Devlin is as well known as Stephen Hawking.C. All visitors acknowledged the role that AI plays in their lives.D. The AI had been previously trained with millions of lines of poetry.15.Which is the suitable title for the article？______A. Creative inspiration is everywhere.B. Visitors are encouraged to compose poems.C. Poems written by a computer light up the UK Pavilion at Expo Dubai.D. An AI that can write poems was created successfully.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Learn to respect yourself Sometimes it's hard to get others to respect us if we don't do it ourselves.1.

His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe〔探测器〕, marking the start of its trip to the sun.The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona〔日冕〕, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with seriousradiation. So how will the probe surviveAccording to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cmthick carboncomposite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest manmade object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 20xx and 20xx. NBC added.1.What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraphA. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe.B.

Discovering the Unknown PuzzlesC. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the SunD. The Scientific Value of Searching the SunIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand , a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “ Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhoundcounter, the sales agent said with a broad smile. “ Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should care the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet When you have your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbour told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “ Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they hear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.1.In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _______.A. make a comparisonB. describe a sceneC. introduce a topicD. offer an argument2.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ______.A. not helpfulB. not considerateC. friendlyD. warmhearted3.From “ Dreams of headcutting !”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer _______.A. was reminded of the cruel pharaohB. was mad at the sales agentC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night4.What is the main idea of the textA. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.Mass communication has been growing and affecting the waycommunities and people behave. At every stage of the development of communication, from the telegraph to the Internet, societies have had to adapt to its effects. But have the effects been more positive or negativeThe saying “Knowledge is power” has been an excellent motivator for people to improve their lives, but today the massive amount of information available through the Internet doesn’t always seem to to be helping people in the way we had hoped.Rather than improving people’s lives and bringing us closer together, the information age is making us more divided and irresponsible.Nevertheless, many people find comfort in their virtual worlds and are happy to connect with reallife friends and online friends from the familiar surroundings of their living rooms.However,being able to reinvent themselves online and be whoever they want to be leads to the question of whether they are losing their identities by living in a virtual world. It’s not all bad news,however. Mass communication has helped change some attitudes for the better. Take our views on the environment for example. Internet campaigns by governments and other organizations have helped popularize the ideas of recycling, protecting wildlife and reducing pollution.Modern electronic communication now influences every aspect of our livesit is a powerful tool that has raised some concerns for society.However,it has also brought countless benefits to society. At the end of the day, it can be used both for good or evil, which largely relies on the morals and sense of responsibility of the individual or community involved. In short,it needs to be used with care.1.According to the text, the information age today _______.A. helps people improve their livesB. fully shows “ knowledge is power”C. makes people feel more connected to othersD. fails to achieve our expectations sometimes2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3A. People only connect with online friends.B. Online friends can be comforting for all people.C. Virtual lives can make people clear of who they are.D. The Internet helps to raise our environmental awareness.3.What can be known about electronic communication in the last paragraphA. It should be used in a cautious way.B. It does more harm than good to society.C. Its side effects can’t be handled by individuals.D. It should be strictly controlled by the government.4.What does the text mainly talk aboutA. The comfort of the virtual worlds.B. The effects of mass communication.C. The development of mass communication.D. The way to use modern mass communication.二、七选五Spreading Smiles at BirchwoodWhen Ava McCarver was in kindergarten, her class visited a nursing home.

He wanted to show them the best gift he had ever received: a new pair of gloves.They are not just any gloves, however. The specially made bionic devices（仿生装置）let the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in more than 20 years.By his retirement last March, he had gone through 24 medical process to try to reduce pain caused by a progressive disease and from a series of accidents. His limitations had forced him to work mostly as a musical conductor since the early 2000s.Before receiving the gloves, which were especially developed for him, Martins could only play songs slowly with his thumbs and, sometimes, his index fingers.However, one designer believed Martins' retirement had come too early. That designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins' hands. The gloves help move his fingers up when they press on the piano keys. Costa said he created early models based on images of Martins' hands. But he said those models were far from ideal. He then decided to tell Martins about his efforts. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models. The perfect match came in December, and cost only $125.These days, Martins never takes off his new gloves—even when he goes to sleep. Martins said he had received more than 100 devices in the last 50 years as possible solutions to his hand problems. None worked well or long enough. "But these gloves do," he said.The new gloves give Martins a new goal. He hopes to play the piano at New York's Carnegie Hall in October. He is already set to conduct a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of his first appearance there.（1）What is it about this special pair of gloves?A It has been developed for many years.B It was developed mainly for thedisabled. C It can be worn to reduce the physical pain. D It realizes Martins' dream to play with two hands.（2）What can we know about Joao Carlos Martins from Paragraph 3?A His illness limited his career.B He refused to use the gloves.C He enjoyed playing the piano in a bar.D He often discusses with his friends about music.（3）How did Costa create this special pair of gloves?A By perfecting previous devices.B By pressing Martins' fingers against pianokeys. C By conducting several tests to find the ideal model. D By repeatedly examining the gloves of Martins' hands.（4）What is the text mainly about?A Costa Creates the Magic GlovesB Magic Gloves Help People in NeedC Martins Achieves His Dream by Magic GlovesD Magic Gloves Let Famous Brazilian Pianist Play Again3.Alison Bailey lay comfortably on her favourite beach towel. The beach was a place that Alison visited whenever she felt the world abandoned her. In many ways Alison was an escape artist. Five years, always.Alison opened her eyes and frowned. A constant tapping sound was coming from somewhere in front of her spot. Raising her head up slightly, she looked down her lags, past her feet, and saw a seagull pecking（啄）a half-buried glass bottle. The stupid bird thought it's food, she thought and laid her head back on the towel. The seagull continued pecking at the bottle in a disturbing way so that Alison sprang to her feet and shooed（赶走）the bird away.She watched it soar in the air, and then turned to the bottle. It was a wine bottle, and an ancient one at that. Carefully, she dug the bottle out and held it in her hands. Through the glass she could see that something was trapped inside.
