Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “ not athletic ”.The idea that I was “ not athletic ” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, Irealized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS ! ”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myse lf a “ marathon winner ”.4. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope5. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.6. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.7. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像)of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic(立体的) sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width—can be perceived(感知). So if you see with one eye, you will get a2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular(双目并用的) sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is. With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.8. According to the passage, an eye is like a camera because both_______A. can record images.B. can imagine objects.C. provide wrong images.D. work at the same speed.9. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having _____________.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight.B. hundreds of eyes, all seeing tiny parts of an image.C. two eyes close to each other that work together.D. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image.10. Which of the following is true according the passage?A. The function of the camera is complex.B. With stereoscopic sight, humans can see the world in 3-D.C. Humans should realize the importance of eyes.D. Humans and animals have the same sight.11. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences in the last paragraph ?A. Only humans can judge how far it is from other objects.B. It is beneficial for us to wear glasses.C. Humans have better eyesight than animals.D. It is fortunate that humans have stereoscopic sight.DSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film(薄膜) plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited(禁止) in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And whileplastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Argue for the use of plastic bags.D. Stop things falling off trucks.13. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.14. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control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。

But we usually return home tired and weak.It doesn't have to be this way.Come home refreshed after an active trip! Don't be too tired!Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. It's all in defining what an active vacation is. We don't expect you to run slowly, or backpacking. Well, we ask the sedentary(坐着的) vacationers not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.These kinds of activities aren't just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. And after all, isn't that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary. Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.Don't allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake; make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Heck, merely standing in waist-high(高及腰际的) water is a goodexercise, thanks to the action of the water. And you'll feel so much more alive!Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don't happen in a car seat. Don't wait for tiredness or nature's call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and spread, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It's important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.5. The writer writes the text mainly to .A. tell us how to make our vacations relaxingB. introduce the relationship between vacations and healthC. show us where we should go for our vacationsD. explain to us why we feel tired when traveling6. What does the underlined word “refreshed” mean?A. Full and excitedB. Pleasant but tiredC. Feeling less tiredD. Feeling regretted7. Wh at advantage can “the activities” in Paragraph 5 bring?A. They can bring us more chances to get outB. They just can keep us feel excited and confidentC. They can save us much time and make the trip meaningfulD. They can improve our health as well as making us feel easyCThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, where global warming could soon turn the global climate(气候)into a new ice age, may never occur, according to new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate date(数据)obtained from the Antarctic ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层)have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past. The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmerperiods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years. Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.“ If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads, ” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “ Now we have eight examples of how the clim ate goes in and out of ice ages… and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future. ”Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “ In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today, ” said Dr Wolff.8. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica , scientists have found that ________.A. snowfalls are kept in certain patternsB. the lowest temperature there isC. the depth of ice is 3,000 metersD. the ice has existed for 15,000 years9. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through_________.A. separating carbon dioxide from the airB. examining the growth rings of treesC. comparing temperatures in different areasD. studying the ice and air caught in each layer10. We can infer from Eric Wolff’s words that _________. .A. there is something wrong with the dataB. a new ice age will not come in the near futureC. greenhouse effect is always a bad thingD. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future11. What would be the best title for the passage ?A. Warm period to last about 15,000 yearsB. Research over the Antarctic areaC. Report on the eight ice ages in the pastD. Hollywood movies and the global climateDWhen we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people many years ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the harmful smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. The burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air pollution. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and sometimes when an accident happens in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.On land, the accumulation(堆积的) of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and be bad for our health. This is because people can't deal with rubbish in a right way. If we do not fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions(革命). On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modern science and technology. People will continually find new ways to control pollution. However, we may still have a long way to go before we have a "clean" world.12. The underlined word "poisoning" in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. dealing with the rubbishB. making the air and water dirtyC. bringing in something goodD. making the air and water clean13. How can we fight against pollution?A. To prevent the industrial revolutions.B. To control air pollution only.C. To stop the production of the factory.D. To rely on the help of science and technology.14. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. We have found the best way to solve the pollution problem.B. We can reduce the ships to control the water pollution.C. The rubbish in the streets isn't bad for people's health.D. Pollution is a serious threat to us.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. How to deal with the rubbish in the streets.B. The problem of the oil from tankers.C. The serious pollution problems of water and air.D. The problem of controlling the industrial wastes.第二部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空(共20小题, 每小题1分, 满分20分。

17—18学年下学期高二第二次月考英语试题(附答案) (1)(2)

高二英语第二次月考试卷第一卷(共70分)一、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AWhen I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!1. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's ________A. PE marksB. self-confidenceC. interest in sportsD. state of health2. Why did John take part in the track team?A. He had been an excellent runner.B. He was encouraged by his teacher.C. He liked running more than tennis.D. He had no tennis coach to train him.3. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.A. to build a close teacher-student relationshipB. to introduce a new way of sports trainingC. to explain the value of sports and gamesD. to show the importance of encouragement4. The passage is mainly written for _____.A. teachersB. parentsC. studentsD. playersBUsing a mobile phone before going to bed can damage your health, according to a major study.It says that radiation from the mobile phone can cause insomnia(失眠症) and headaches as well as cutting the time spent in deep sleep. Failing to get enough sleep can lead to depression, lack of concentration and personality changes. In teenagers and young children, lack of sleep can result in attention disorders and poor grades.The research showed that using mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them.Deep sleep is important as it is the time when the body rejuvenates(更新) cells and repairs damage suffered during the day. Scientists found that using mobile phones an hour before sleep affects it. In the study scientists examined the sleep patterns of 36 women and 35 men aged 18 to 45. Some were exposed to radiation that is similar to what a person receives when using a mobile phone. The others received none. The results are as follows: The first group took longer to enter the first of the deeper stages of sleep and spent less time in the deepest one. However, the second group was opposite.The findings will shock many parents. Many parents are always worried about their children’s health. But they didn’t have a better way to persuade them not to use a mobile phone.5. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. deep sleep is good for your healthB. different people have different sleep patternsC. using a mobile phone before sleep can damage your healthD. long sleep can renew cells6. The underlined word “ it”refers to ________.A. people’s bodyB. deep sleepC. a sleep patternD. a day7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Deep sleep is a good time for the body to repair damage suffered during the dayB. The study examined the sleep patterns of about 70 people.C. Using mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer time to enter the deep sleep.D. The findings shocked many teachers and teenagers.8. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. the lack of sleep can lead to children’s excitementB. radiation from the mobile phone can cause p arents’ worriesC. many children use mobile phones before sleepD. using a mobile phone before sleep doesn’t harm the agedCThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits.

There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.12. The text probably comes from ________.A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. a popular magazineD. an official documentDLeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn’t stop him from being able to do many tasks.But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time.So Leon’s father, Paul, created a prosthesis (假肢), using a 3D printer.Now Leon has fingers that open and close.“It was a do-it-yourself, father-and-son adventure,” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens.“The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul.As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000.Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer.He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand’s creators for advice.T hey told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials. Luckily, Leon’s school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard (护胫),cardboard, and tape.They cost about $10,” says Paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better.“I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,” he says.Leon’s father has already built several hands for Leon.Leon helps design each one.He says there’s one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal,” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces (鞋带).”13.Why did Leon’s doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C.To master the disabled hand was important.D.The original hand could do many tasks.14.Leon’s father managed to get Leon a new hand by _______ .A.collecting money on the InternetB.buying a prosthetic handC.purchasing a 3D printerD.printing a hand15.The materials used for Leons hand can be described as A.cheap and common B.strange and valuableC.personal and lovelyD.basic and solid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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

高二英语试题第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,在答题卡上将该项涂黑AWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in doors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.21. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A. to show his magical power.B. to pay for the deliveryC. to please his mother.D. to satisfy his curiosity.22. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’shouse?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.23. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.24. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.BIf you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: “Didi concluded that last year its c ar-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions (排放) per day.” The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the importan t magazine’s list, and its influence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.Didi is just one example of what is being called the “sharing economy”. The sharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace.Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.25. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.C. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.26. What does the underlined word “assets” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Possessions.B. Services.C. Houses. D Cars.27. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To stress the importance of online services.B. To introduce the “sharing economy”.C. To advertise a new means of transport.D. To explain the benefits of using Didi.CMy youngest son jack has begun to learn the cello (大提琴). Every night, he carefully gets his cello out 0f its case and begins practising. I won’t lie; It’s not pretty. While he’s getting better every day, he has a long way from becoming the next Yo-Yo Ma.This led me to wonder what Yo-Yo Ma was like the first time he played the cello. Of course, we now know him as one of the most excellent artists in the world, but I’m sure that when he firsttried, he wasn’t much better than my son. I’m not suggesting that Jack is going to take the classical music world by storm one day. But he’s got to start somewhere.Michael Jordan wasn’t born playing basketball, but I’m sure th at he had to start somewhere. Warren Buffett wasn’t born making great investment choices, but he had to start somewhere. J. K. Rowling wasn’t born a writer, but he had to start somewhere. Bruce Springsteen wasn’t born a songwriter and performer, but he had to start somewhere. Each of these individuals is now famous as being at the top of their occupation. But when they first started, their skills would have been disappointing and their potential unrealized. It has taken years of hard work to realize their undoubted talents. But they had to start somewhere.I don’t know what my kids are going to do with their lives, but they have a great opportunity to explore a wide range of experiences before focusing on one or two things that they can be crazy about and good at. It’s my job as dad to encourage them not to be put off by their bad first efforts. Because everyone has to start somewhere.28. We know the author’s son .A. has no gift for playing the celloB. doesn’t like playing the celloC. cannot play the cello well nowD. is sure to be the next Yo-Yo Ma29. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By setting down general rules.B. By making comparisons.C. By Presenting research findings.D. By giving examples.30. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The author has no confidence in his kids.B. The author will encourage his kids.C. The author is worried about his kids,bad first efforts.D. The author will give his kids freedom to do what they want.31. The text is meant to show that .A. everyone has to start somewhereB. people should do what they’re good atC. a gift is very important in one’s successD. everyone can realize their potential with practiceDWith an aging population and an increasing labor shortage, the demand for companion robots for elder care and children's companions is on the rise.Xiaoyuzaijia is an intelligent companion robot produced by , a Beijing-based startup engaged in internet hardware and intelligent home appliances businesses. It specializes in security monitoring, human-computer emotional communication and entertainment functions.If the elderly people are ill at home, the robot can bring medicine and water. The robot will open the door when the guest comes. It can even tell a story, sing a song and play chess.The number of elderly people aged 60 and above reached more than 222 million in 2015, accounting for 16.2 percent of the total population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. It is estimated that the number will reach 243 million in 2020.Song Chenfeng, founder and CEO of Zaijia, said: "The robot is equipped with a monitoring camera and other hardware for facial and voice recognition.” Family members could also connect their smart phones with the robot . “When the elderly fall or the children cry at home, the robot will send messages to inform other family members," he said. “The companion robot should be an important 'blue sea' in the intelligent household robot market. Xiaoyuzaijia aims at white-collar people who are busy with their work and spend less time accompanying their family members. It builds a bridge among family members and satisfies the emotional communication needs of modern people,” said Song.Yuan Wenhui, chairman of Zaijia, said the company will offer personalized service in the family health care and children's education , based on big data algorithms(统计), aiming to be a necessary intelligent family housekeeper in the future.Statistics from the International Federation of Robotics show that the market demand for service robots will boom in the next three years, with the market scale reaching $46 billion.32.Why will the companion robots be warmly welcomed?A.They are extremely intelligent.B.They can bring water and even play chess.C.They are of great benefit in assisting the elder and children.D.They can recognize the voice and facial expression.33.What does the underlined phrase “accounting for” in Paragraph 4 mean ?A. making up.B. taking off.C. making out.D. turning on.34.What service will the company offer in the future?A. monitoring camera.B. emotional communications.C. smart phones.D. children’s education.35.

2017-2018学年高二英语下学期寒假验收考试试题

辽宁省阜新二高2017-2018学年高二英语下学期寒假验收考试试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named“DriveLAB” in order to under stand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains:“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains,“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problem s.“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting f ined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drivel ABA.To explore newmeans of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver`s problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil BlytheA.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older driversA.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their anize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the textA.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Driving Service for eldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the RoadBWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered,“Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even mo re upset then because,“I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish doesAs I got a littleolder I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and enter ed the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say,“We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said,“If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was,“You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.5. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nineA. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.6. What did the author’s fat her really meanA. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.7. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.8. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD.a millionaire’s biographyCLiving in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over somethi ng as simple as“yes” and“no”.On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter,“Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means“no”.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads indifferent ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes”or “no”.9. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications10. People in Micron esia show“yes” by ______.A. noddingheadsB. raising eyeb rowsC. shakingheadsD. saying“no”11. Tom misunderstood his class at first because______.A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. h e didn’t explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn’t understand his questionsD. he didn’t know where the students came from12. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means“no”.B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D. I n India, only shaking heads means“yes”.DWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the 21st century There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s clim ate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems.If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist.It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of a amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons(武器) but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to bust (指控)criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking .You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing. Do you know that most top athletes work with。

四中学17—18学年上学期高二期末考试英语试题(附答案)

会宁四中2017-2018学年度第一学期高二级期末考试英语试卷第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,20小题,每题2分,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分AI still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said,” Need a jack(千斤顶).”As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粉蒸肉)for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20!I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English,” Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.( )1.From the passage we can know that .A. the Mexican man couldn’t speak EnglishB. the aut hor’s jeep broke down on the roadC. the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visitD.$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family( )2.The author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife because .A. the Mexican man had refused to accept itB. the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her handsC. the author thought the Mexican man’s wife was a bit greedyD. the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches( )3.The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that .A. it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietlyB. it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeepC. it was possible that everyone might get into troubleD. the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help( )4.What can we infer from the passage?A. The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.B. The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon in previous years.C. What made the author cry was the tamale given by the girl.D. The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.BPeople are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories (卡路里) per meal,and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill (药片), because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals (间隔) each day.Low calorie Diets Do Not WorkThe reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism (新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust (调整) itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.Low-fat Diets Do Not WorkMany people in today's society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.( )5.What is the main reason why people are overweight?A.They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.B.They eat food with lots of calories.C.They don't take any weight loss pills.D.They burn many calories every day.( )6.The article is written in order to ________.A.tell readers not to buy low -fat or non-fat foodB.tell readers how to lose weightC.tell readers about an important scientific discoveryD.call on people to lose weight and stay healthy( )7.To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.a.do exercise every dayb.eat meals at the right timec.eat fruits and vegetablesd.eat low-fat or sweet foode.eat the proper foods at each mealA.a,b,c,d B.a,b,d,e C.a,c,d,e D.a,b,c,eCWhat should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can’t make their own choices.Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults. When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy. By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school. Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”. Now the child is up to almost all his / her decisions. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his / her parents.Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work?Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices, and then slowly make bigger and more important choices.8. The first paragraph is written to tell the readers that Chinese kids ______.A. don’t know what to doB. always have many questionsC. believe in their teachers and parentsD. depend on adults too much9. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself?A. Ten.B. Twelve.C. Thirteen.D. Sixteen.10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. American kids are more independent than Chinese kids.B. American kids will more easily adapt themselves to society.C. American parents don’t care for their children.D. A sixteen American youngster can drive his / her own car.11. In the writer’s eyes, ______.A. dependence on adults is shameful in ChinaB. independence from adults is worth encouragingC. kids have no ability to make a real choiceD. making decisions is rather easyDIn China, tea is a traditional drink, which is not only good for your health but can also enrich your mind.

AI had once helped a friend of mine run a water melon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer--an elderly gentleman--about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking(自嘲) tone, “Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave!”Not long after that, my water melon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding. which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don’t remember ever hearing you mention that you’ve got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money. Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later.”I could think of no word to refute(反驳) her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others’ suit in doing things. The use of “we” or “us” will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience(良心;良知).I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(学样) others and follow their suit. In turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact, this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow other’s suit like this, but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of us, and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.21.

Science and TechnologyBValentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who helped lovers. Valentine was killed on February 14 more than 1, 700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their on pieces of paper and put them into a large container. Boys reached into the containers and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper was his love or sweetheart for a year.Lovers still put their names on the paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the message are simple and short, “Jane, I love you very much.” Others say more. This one, for example, “Don, r ose is red, Violets(紫罗兰)is blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, Mary.”Most of the newspapers that print such message is local, but USA Today is sold throughout the USA and 90 other counties as well.

She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath’s many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city isstill very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels.

He got $10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns(橄榄球触地得分), runs-batted-in(棒球打点得分)? What about orchestra(管弦乐团)? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’ re all running around looking for the latest electronic products, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.32.
