河南省南阳市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次月考(6月)英语试题

河南省南阳市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次月考（6月）英语试题一、阅读理解Pedal Street by BreezeReviewer Anna Martino, age 13Breeze has released Pedal Street after a two-year wait, in spite of pressure from fans and the record company. Fans had been told to expect something special and this is a masterpiece. This band’s music is exceptional.The song lyrics (歌词) express emotions that are felt by everybody, focusing on topics other artists seem to prefer not to sing about. Breeze uses an interesting mix of styles including classical strings (弦乐器) and modern guitar riffs (重复段).Thrill by SkydiggersReviewer Alexis Walker, age 14Skydiggers, a Canadian rock group, have released the album (专辑) Thrill, which was recorded over two years. Although some tunes (曲调) are difficult to tell apart from each other in the sense that Suzi Tarrant’s voice doesn’t vary from song to song, the album will soon be permanently fixed on your playlist.Silver Honeybees by Lena and the LantanasReviewer Sam Roberts, age 16Lena has been allowed to sing all types of songs here in order to really show what she can do. And in case you think that her new far-ranging style may not be attractive to a youthful teenage fan base, remember that her teen audience is sure to grow along with her as she makes more music. While some bands include good beats but have meaningless lyrics that make you feel slightly sick, or sing songs with meaningful words yet make a terrible sound, the Lantanas are different and a rare find.Hungry Rock by April SapaReviewer Julie Zhang, age 14The album covers everything a teenager can feel: love, hate, acceptance and even boredom. It is an excellent combination of easy listening, even though there are several songs that couldeasily have been left out, resulting in a better album overall.1．What can we learn about Pedal Street?A．It was a let-down for fans.B．It is emotional and unusual.C．It was prepared in a short time.D．It mainly consists of rock music.2．What does Roberts say about Silver Honeybees?A．It attracts people of all ages.B．It makes you feel heartbroken.C．It covers several types of music.D．It has both good words and sounds.3．What type of writing is this text?A．Reports.B．Music reviews.C．Advertisements.D．Eventannouncements.For the past 13 years, Martin Burrows has been working as a long-distance truck driver. Spending up to five nights a week on the road can be a lonely business, leaving him with plenty of time to notice his surroundings. “I kept seeing more rubbish everywhere and it was getting on my nerves. I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle, took out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was remarkable.Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His involvement in fundraising for Help for Heroes led him to meet a man who used model-building as a distraction from PTSD．Burrows realized that his act of roadside cleanup had a similar calming effect on his mental well-being.By 2019, Burrows had begun using his free time on the road to regularly clean up garbage.A passerby encouraged him to set up a Facebook group, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was worried I’d be the laughing stock of my town for putting videos and photos up of me cleaning but people started to join,” he says. “I was amazed. The local council stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we’re up to almost 3,000 members now.”Since truckers are so often on the move, the Facebook page acts as a means of raising awareness rather than a platform for organizing cleanups. Burrows expressed his intention to continue the cleanup efforts as long as his physical condition allowed, as he still found joy in the process.4．What initially caused Burrows to pick up roadside garbage?A．He wanted to kill time by picking up litter.B．He aimed to raise fund for soldiers with PTSD．C．He felt annoyed to see the increasing rubbish.D．He received the assignment from his employer.5．How did collecting roadside garbage affect Burrows’ PTSD?A．It resulted in his embarrassment.B．It increased his sense of isolation.C．It worsened his stress and anxiety.D．It brought him comfort and relief. 6．What concerned Burrows when he started Truckers Cleaning Up Britain?A．He feared being teased for his action.B．He was lacking in advanced cleanup tools.C．He was unsure about the group’s development.D．He worried about the local council’s disapproval.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Joyful Volunteer Experience B．A Trucker’s Cleanup InitiativeC．A Fighting Hero against PTSD D．A Platform for EnvironmentalistsA wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them.This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood.But how do the birds learn? It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.8．What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2mean?A．Eye-catching.B．Care-free.C．Naughty.D．Attractive. 9．What can we know about the birds?A．They are raised by humans.B．They help cut open the tree trunk.C．They feed on honey as their annual diet.D．They can distinguish different whistles. 10．Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering?A．A complex dilemma.B．An unfair trade.C．A double-edged sword.D．A win-win cooperation.11．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．The familiar signal in the forest.B．A talented expert in hunting the bees.C．A wonderful guide to collecting honey.D．The human-animal communication in Tanzania.As people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling youwhat a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.So what is the possible solution to criticism?If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic(习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.12．What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others?A．Warm-hearted.B．Self-centered.C．Talkative.D．Responsible. 13．What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3?A．He thinks the suggestions are helpful.B．He defenses himself with the response.C．He agrees with the comments completely.D．He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.14．What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4?A．Having debates.B．Accepting criticism.C．Keeping calm.D．Avoiding criticizers.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To make a judgment on others.B．To explain some social behavior.C．To call for action against attack.D．To give advice on facing criticism.The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法论) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. 16 However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components:17 Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. 18 Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. 19 Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward.Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. 20A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the GTD method can really make you calm and confident.A．Seize whatever is coming into your head.B．Note down the main concerns in your daily life.C．Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan.D．Then you have all in place and work toward goal completion gradually.E．The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book.F．This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something.G．You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some task.二、完形填空I was angry with my sixteen-year-old son Anthony, and stormed out of the house. Standing on the front porch (门廊), I 21 deeply. I saw my elderly neighbor, Clara, working in her garden. Seeking 22 , I walked across the street.“Anthony again?” Clara asked. “It’s his hair again,” I replied. “Have you seen him? All that mass of messy curls 23 over his shoulders! But just mention a haircut, and he gets that same 24 look in his eyes I’ve seen a million times before.”Clara smiled, “It’s only hair, Liz.” She spoke slowly, 25 each word, “It’s … only… hair!” Then her smile disappeared, and her expression became 26 . “I learned years ago when my husband died, leaving me three young kids. I had to put everything in perspective if I were to 27 . I learned how to say, ‘But it’s only…’ But it’s only a bad day. Tomorrow will be better.” She nodded her head firmly. “You 28 it, don’t you, honey? Everybody has enough 29 in their lives without wasting 30 on the ‘it’s only ’ things that come their way.”After returning to my house, I baked some cookies, and carried them to Anthony’s room. “Can I come in, honey?” “Not if you’re going to 31 about my hair again.” I pushed the door open and held out the cookies. “Not one word. I 32 .” He stared at the plate of cookies greedily, but there was still a glint of 33 in his eyes. “Not one word about my hair?” He looked at me challengingly.“It’s only hair,” I said. “It’s your hair. Not mine.” Anthony smiled broadly, saying, “Thanks for 34 understanding me, Mom. And thanks for the cookies.” Now I’ve learned to let go of the “it’s only” 35 , and Anthony is more willing to listen to me.21．A．dug B．drank C．sighed D．reflected 22．A．acceptance B．sympathy C．company D．relaxation 23．A．fixing up B．showing off C．flying around D．hanging down 24．A．disapproving B．puzzled C．loving D．hungry 25．A．analyzing B．recalling C．emphasizing D．polishing 26．A．awful B．serious C．funny D．acceptable 27．A．return B．succeed C．persist D．survive28．A．take B．make C．get D．believe 29．A．power B．trouble C．work D．support 30．A．mess B．freedom C．space D．energy 31．A．complain B．bring C．lie D．joke 32．A．doubt B．pretend C．promise D．protest 33．A．annoyance B．suspicion C．competence D．rebellion 34．A．finally B．instantly C．accurately D．completely 35．A．principles B．approaches C．situations D．regulations三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer when it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes ( 条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance andjumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.“Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down mycheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.1.

They’re ordinary folks like you and me.But Am I Good Enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed downby self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The Promise That Paid OffThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability.You will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories.

Road is a name given to the many trade routes that connected Europe and the Mediterranean（地中海）with the Asian world.The route is over6,500km long and got its name because the early Chinese traded silk along it.Although silk was the main trading item,there were many other goods that travelled along the Silk Road between Eastern Asia and Europe.In the course of time,medicine,perfumes, spices and livestock（家畜）found their way between continents.The Chinese learned to make silk thousands of years ago.For a long time they were the only ones who knew how to make this precious material.Only the emperor,his family and his highest advisers were allowed to wear clothes made of silk.For a long time the Chinese guarded this secret very carefully.The ancient Romans were the first Europeans who became aware of this wonderful material.Trading started, often with Indians as middlemen（中间人）who traded silk with the Chinese in exchange for gold and silver which they got from the Romans.Travelling along the route was dangerous.The hot desert,high mountains and sandstorms made traveling a rough business.Most of the goods along the Silk Road were carried by caravans（商队）.Traders sometimes brought goods from one destination on the silk Road to another,from where the goods would be transported by someone else.Over the centuries people settled along the ancient route and many cities ter on there were fewer hardships to overcome,but by no means was it easy.Religion,languages and diseases also spread along the Silk Road.Buddhism,which originated in India,spread to China along this route.European traders probably brought the plague from Asia to Europe along the ancient road.In the early Middle Ages,traffic along the route decreased because of the decline of the Roman Empire.Trading along the Silk Road became stronger again between the13th and14th centuries,when the Mongols controlled central Asia.During the Age of Exploration the Silk Road lost its importance because new sea routes to Asia were discovered.（1）（2分）What do we know about the Silk Road?A．It refers to many trade routes.B．It was named because the ancient Arabians traded silk along it.C．Silk was the only trading item on it.D．Travelling along the Silk Road was easy and safe.（2）（2分）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph2?A．Summarize the previous paragraph.B．Add some background

TravellingD．Renaissance（复兴）of the Silk Road3．（8分）阅读理解China's college graduates are leaving first-tier cities（一线城市）for second-tier ones,according to the annual College Graduates'Employment Report issued on Monday.The report said that22.3percent of college graduates last year chose to work in first-tier cities—Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou and Shenzhen—down1.3percentage points from2016and5.9 percentage points from2013.In2017,21.7percent of college graduates chose to leave first-tier cities after working there for three years,up2.5percentage points from2016and8percentage points from2015.The report also found that leading second-tier cities are attracting more recent graduates.Around 35.6percent of college graduates who chose to work in the top10second-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan,were from other regions in2017,up3.6percentage points from the previous year.The report was based on a survey of306,000graduates from30provinces and regions.It was released by MyCOS,an education consulting and research institute in Beijing.Wang Boqing,founder of MyCOS,said large populations,traffic jam,smog,increasing propertyprices and great difficulty in obtaining permanent residence（居住）,or hukou in Chinese,have brought high pressure to life in first-tier cities for college graduates,which gives second-tier cities an opportunity to attract talented workers.Second-tier cities have rolled out a series of policies to attract university graduates,which include favorable treatment to obtain hukou,as well as housing and government subsidies（津贴）,he said.Wuhan, Hubei Province,has planned to build affordable housing for university graduates,and allow graduates to buy or rent apartments at a discount of at least20percent of the market price.Chu Zhaohui,a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences,however,said that the governments of such cities should notice that welfare（福利）,housing and money can attract people in a short time.“Professionals aim mainly at prospects（前景）for career development rather than just benefits,”Chu said,adding that those cities should maintain their advantages,such as low cost of living and nicer environments,to keep their appeal.The cities should provide more opportunities for employment that are similar to those in first-tier cities,he said.（1）（2分）What does the text mainly talk about?A．Leading second-tiers have more job opportunities.B．College graduates are leaving first-tier cities for second-tier ones to hunt jobs.C．College graduates have to take too much burden in first-tier cities.D．Second-tier cities offered favorable policies to attract graduates.（2）（2分）Which of the following writing techniques（写作手法）is NOT used in Paragraph2and3?

Economists had forecast modest growth of0.3%.Although the situation does not appear to be as severe this year,forecasts issued by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on Monday suggest the UK has done little to bounce back from heavy snowfall earlier in2018.Putting the growth rate for GDP at only0.2%in the three-month period to May,up from0.1%in the same period ending in April,Niesr's head of UK macroeconomic forecasting,Amit Kara,said:“Economic growth has slowed materially since the start of this year and it continues to remain weak.”（1）（2分）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．The British economy is booming now.B．The British economy is going through a great depression.C．People are not concerned about Brexit at all.D．British firms are planning to take on new stuff.（2）（2分）Which of the following best explains the underlined word in paragraph2? A．development B．demand C．distribute D．decline（3）（2分）What indicates that the hiring sentiment has come?A．The recession in banking and finance industry.B．The sharpest drop in output recorded by Britain's factories.C．GDP increasing at a rather low rate.D．The surplus of British goods at home and abroad.（4）（2分）What is the Amit Kara's attitude toward the current economic situation? A．pessimistic B．optimistic C．indifferent D．hopeful二、任务型阅读(共1题；共10分)5．（10分）任务型阅读How parents can help with cyberbullying（网络欺凌）?43%of kids have been bullied online.One in four has had it happen more than once.70%of students reported seeing frequent bullying online.Many studies suggest that cyberbullying has become a serious problem worldwide and makes many kids suffer.Let teachers know about the situation.Many schools have protocols（协议）for responding to cyberbullying.Before reporting the problem,let your children know what you want to do so that you can make a plan that makes you both feel comfortable.Encourage your children not to respond to cyberbullying,because doing so just fuels the fire and makes the situation worse.Instead,you should keep the threatening messages,pictures,and texts,which can be used as evidence for the bully's parents,schools,or even the police.Limit your kids'access to the Internet.Though hurtful,many kids who are bullied can't resist the temptation（诱惑）to check websites or phones to see if there are new messages.Many websites and smartphones include parental control options that allow parents to control kids'online life.Follow your children on social media sites,but do not make comments or post anything on your children's whereabouts online.And also tell them why it's a bad idea to share it online.A.Know your kids'online world.B.But that doesn't mean you can do nothing.C.Remind your kids of the seriousness of cyberbullying.D.Make sure your kids figure out what to do about it.E.Talk to them about the importance of private information.F.So if you know how to deal with it,things will get much better.G.Keep the computer in a public place and set limits on the use of cell phones.三、完形填空(共1题；共20分)6．（20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，故答案选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年河南省南阳市第一中学高二下学期第一次月考英语试题(Word版)

河南省南阳市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic dangers. We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task. We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development. We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly, there is no way to stop an eruption. We can, however, attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects b y strengthening structures, for example, building protective works such as walls to make lava (熔岩) flow away from developed areas. Such efforts can be and have been successful, but are of limited use in a large-scale eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task. Before building houses, we should judge the risk. If the risk seems too great, a safer location should be found. This type of planning is very effective, but all too often, people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的)，rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness (预案)When a volcano comes to life, a few weeks may not be enough time to avoid a tragedy. Planning is the key to saving lives. Well before the warning signs occur, people must be educated about volcanic dangers. Escape plans must be in place. Communication between scientists, officials, the media, and the general public should be practiced. Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts, take another look at past volcanic tragedies, such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz. Communication failures left the town of Armerounprepared for escape. When a deadly mudflow came down the slope (斜坡), 21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.21. The passage is intended for ________.A. the general publicB. architectsC. adventurersD. geographers22. When building houses , people tend to ________.A. judge volcanic dangers carefullyB. take volcanic dangers seriouslyC. like to live near a quiet volcanoD. find a safer place far away from a volcano23. The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove ________.A. The failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB. The importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC. The bravery of the people in Armero TownD. The uncertainty of volcano’s damageBI was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I fry?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He co ntinued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.24. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B. The author enjoys traveling around the world.C. Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D. The author may start his own business in the future.25. Hearing the colleague whispering, the author ________.A. went back to his scat and got seatedB. knew his colleague had some questionsC. owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD. thought his colleague would get nowhere26. Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A. Japan.B. America.C. Africa.D. France27. Which is the proper title for the passage?A. Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B. Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C. Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D. Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.C“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression. When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.” It means to be still and not talk. “Hold yourtongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players ‘‘hold out” if t heir team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold-up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work. Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on” is another expression, which means waiting or stopping. As you leave for school, you r brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady. For exampl e, the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes”. He means there will be no increase in taxes.28. The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when ________.A. some footballers refuse to play a gameB. someone else is wanted on the phoneC. someone is not qualified for a positionD. someone was delayed by heavy traffic29. The tune of t he phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little________.A. amusingB. politeC. unfriendlyD. offensive30. I f some teachers “hold out”, they probably ________.A. change their attitudeB. refuse to workC. make a compromiseD. show their devotion31 .Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A. I was late as I was held up by a hold-up.B. Hold on! You have to pay the bill, sir.C. You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D. I promise to hold the line on house prices.DIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “leader” in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they’re just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few “innies”.Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They’re not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically (内在地) motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they “own” the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers aren’t modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations. Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they’re more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren’t primarily apparent. Don’t believe me? Maybe you’ll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s that I stay with problems longer.” Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just amisunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.32. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy people care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening33. The example of Johnny shows ________.A. shy people are likely to be modestB. hardworking students speak little in publicC. some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD. shy people may have an advantage in discussion34. We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that ________.A. success results from devotionB. shyness contributes to popularityC. outside reward leads to insistenceD. uncertainty counts more than certainty35. The author supports his ideas mainly by ________.A. giving definitions and presenting research resultsB. explaining problems and providing solutionsC. quoting authorities and making evaluationsD. making contrasts and gibing examples第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

南阳一中2017年春期高二开学考试英语试题温馨提示：本试题满分120分=阅读50+完形30+单词填空15+作文25第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分）AAs a boy, Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result, Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor where he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room.During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon(外科医生). “Tha t was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it.” In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to make decisions. Thus, while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was serving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area, but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the young man many opportunities to go on working as a life-saver.1. Tim decided to become a doctor at fifteen mainly because___ .A. he had chances to know the old doctors through his fatherB. he had read many books about medicineC. his father was a surgeon himselfD. his father wanted him to be so2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Tim got married to the old doctor’s daughter.B. Before the war, Tim worked as a doctor at a local clinic.C. Tim continued working as a surgeon after the war.D. While working in California, Tim taught life-saving to the patients.3. From the passage we can infer that Tim ______ .A. was sent to Europe during the warB. was not afraid of seeing bloodC. worked as a surgeon during the warD.decided to give up medicine for faith4. The passage is mainly about _____.A. Tim’s life storyB. Tim’s dreamsC. Tim’s marr iageD. Tim’ s patientsBWE NEED1.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH TEEN INKCPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service withoutrealizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of pe rsonal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things: your city, your photo, your friends’ names, were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience."Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. It’s original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages, totally failed. Who wants to took at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April,Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning，which is why I'm considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know. That’s too high a price to pay.9.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.10.What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D. They care very little about their personal information.11.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connection.D. To expand its business.12.Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly usedD. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.DBlue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated (moved) from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s, whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the Northern Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California populationTo identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the West Coast of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.13. According to the passage, blue whales are __________.A. following the fixed route of migrationB. dying out due to commercial whalingC. rarely found in the Southern PacificD. moving from the south to the north14. The whale population in the northern Pacific __________.A. is different from the California populationB. has become the largest group since the 1970sC. is probably part of the California populationD. has lived there since the 1960s15. The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. whales speciesB. land creaturesC. ocean conditionsD. migration patterns16. What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?A. Commercial whaling.B. Food resources.C. Weather conditions.D. Life reproduction.EA new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family claims that all the time you spend parenting just doesn’t matter. But it’s a claim that, despite the enthusiastic and widespread coverage by the media, does not hold water.The research suggests that child outcomes (including behavior problems, emotional problems, and academic performance) are barely (几乎没有) connected with the time that parents spend with their children. The researchers examined the time diaries of 1,600 children, looking at parenting time and outcomes when the kids were aged 3 to 11 in 1997, and again in 2002, when they were between 8 and 16. (A time diary is a detailed report of all activities you carry out in a day.)This research largely reflects the failure of the authors to correctly measure parental input (投入). It just looked at time diaries from two particular days — one a weekday and the other a weekend day.Trying to get a sense of the time you spend parenting from a single day’s diary is a bit like trying to measure your income from a single day. If yesterday was payday, you looked rich, but if it’s not, you would be reported as poor. You get a clearer picture only by looking at your income — or your parenting time — over a more meaningful period.What you did yesterday should not be taken as representative of what you did last year. This is why most high-quality studies of parenting time focus instead on how often parents read to their children, play with them or help them with homework over a period of month or longer — long enough to represent their different approaches to parenting.As an exhausted parent who doesn’t get enough time to work out, and who hasn’t seen a movie for months, I understand why so many of us might seize on studies suggesting that we should take more time for ourselves. Perhaps we should. But I agree with Ariel Kalil, a development psychologist, on the suggestion “that when parents spend high-quality time with their children, their children are more likely to succeed.”17. The underlined words “hold water” in the first pa ragraph probably mean ________.A. to be surprisingB. to be reasonableC. to be confusingD. to be usual18. The study was conducted to explore the link between _______.A. parenting time and child outcomesB. time diaries and child developmentC. children’s habits and parents’ influenceD. daily activities and children’s problems19. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?A. By giving descriptionsB. By analyzing the causeC. By making a comparisonD. By offering research findings20. The author may agree that high-quality studies of parenting time should _______.A. be completed in one monthB. be based on data of a longer time periodC. concentrate mainly on learning timeD. adopt some different approaches第二节七选五（共5小题，满分10分）So far, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient(有效的) and reliable than examinations. Some people say examinations test what you know. 21 . They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person’s true ability and talent.22 .Then what is a good education? 23 . The examination system does anything but that. The student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Meanwhile, they lower the standards of teaching. 24 .Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they only train their students in exam techniques.Are there any simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person’s true abilities?25 . Educationists, of course, should take the responsibility to face the challenge and come up with wise solutions.A. The answer is absolutely yes.B. In a word, it’s not a good education.C. Your whole future may be decided on one fateful day.D. Because they deprive(剥夺) the teacher of all freedoms.E. However, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite.F. A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself.G. Examiners are only human: they get tired and hungry; they make mistakes.第二部分完形填空（满分30分）When you eat out in a restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” Sometimes you can see them26 or arm wrestli ng to fight for the 27 for paying the bill.

AThe Coolest InventionsAn Ocean Vacuum（吸尘器）There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation wouldaim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.An Airport for Drones（无人机）As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to mak e it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.21. What’s the advantage of the Ocean Vacuum?A. It can be a money-saver.B. It can grow year by year.C. It can tear plastic into pieces.D. It can be put into wide use soon.22. What do we know about Nike?A. It offers free shoes to the disabled.B. It is designing new shoes frequently.C. It provides customer-friendly services.D. It responded to Matthew’s request passively.23. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?A. Because road travel there is rough.B. Because there are too many drones.C. Because they’re easier to construct than roads.D. Because they are receptive to new technology.BTwo of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that theirproductivity had ceased（停止）. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed in my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life. Of existence. Is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.24. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C.

The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB. No pains, no gainsC.

What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.CIncreasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gateannouncements and so on.This is all changing.Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere” without being disturbed by announcements.“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges （休闲区）, and food and drink areas,” she says.In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland – a country where the tourism slogan is “Silence, Please” – became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.Lost track of time in the shop?Too bad.Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks（交互式自助服务机）, together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking times to their destinations.Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.But at silent airports, the later can be restricted to specific gates, as has been adopted in Helsinki.28. What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept?A. It makes airport noise-free.B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.C. It has changed international airports’ repu tation.D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.29. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?A. Their boarding time.B. Finland’s tourism slogan.C. The shops’ opening hours.D. The “you are here” display.30. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the next?A. To show its popularity.B. To introduce InfoGate kiosks.C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words.D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Technology quiets airports downB. Can airports be as quiet as temples?C. Silent airports all around the worldD. Technology helps airports become interactiveDBring any group of business owners or managers together, ask them the best way to promote their organization s, and you’ll get different answers. That comes as no surprise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. You’ll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesn’t produce the results the y want, they’ll change to sending direct mail. When that doesn’t create a jump in sales, they’ll buy TV commercials. When that falls short of their expectations, they’ll try a new on-line strategy… and it goes on and on.For most companies, the best approach is a mix of different channels, organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others. The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors, including the company itself, its audience, the message being conveyed, the environment, and many more.Just that radio worked well for a company’s last effort doesn’t mean that TV advertising wouldn’t be a better choice this time. Or maybe the right channel is direct mail. There’s no simple answer, because there are so many variables（变量）. If your audience is broad, then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice. If you’re targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers, direct mail or email will probably perform better.There are two important lessons here. The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will serve all of the company’s needs, because it just doesn’t exist. The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar to promote your business, you need to do more than a little learning. You’ll really need to understand your customers, your marketplace, your competitors, and the environments in which you do business. And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation, but not another.32. According to Paragraph 1, there are no ________.A. cheap ads.B. unsuccessful ads.C. perfect ads.D. all-purpose ads.33. What is the best way to promote a business?A. Using a channel that serves all of your budget.B. Putting ads on various channels at the same time.C. Creating an ad that appeals to all your customers.D. Advertising on a channel available to consumers.34. When it comes to choosing an ad for a business, we should ________.A. stay away from TV advertising.B. choose it based on the specific situation.C. advertise on the radio or on the newspaper .D. choose it according to your customers’ budget.35. Before deciding on a marketing channel, you need to ________.A. ask for your customers’ adviceB. compare different advertisingC. realize the problems with your businessD. make research about all related factors 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
