Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization 1 for all?According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters,economic globalization has helped reduce 2 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 3 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 4 at an average rate of five percent —compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who 5 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 6 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 7 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 8 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 9 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 10 , they maintain that globalization mayeventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 11 their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of 12 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to __13 and will be crowded out.One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 14 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 15 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.1. A．possible B．smooth C．goodD．easy2. A．crime B．poverty C．conflictD．population3.

毕业班综合测试（一）英语第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节,满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分）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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!21. Wha t’s the purpose of the text?A. To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B. To explain how an exhibit has been created.C. To describe the technology used in the exhibit.D. To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?A. To keep visitors from getting wet.B. To protect the exhibit from water damage.C. To time how long visitors are in the room.D. To count the number of visitors in the room.23. What must you do when visiting the Rain Room?A. Wear a raincoat.B. Wear dark clothing.C. Leave your camera outside.D. Pass through within 10 minutes.BDujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder m the development of Chinese science. Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally.Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying“believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three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。

广东省佛山市高明区第一中学2017-2018学年高二上学期静校训练英语试题(12)
高二第一学期静校题（12周）ADear Sir / Madam,It worried me a lot when I heard of the plan to cut down St John’s Wood to make a car park for shoppers. Although I agree that the town is short of car parks, this idea would be improper.In the first place, the wood is an area of natural beauty. There are many ancient trees of an unusual kind. I often go there for a picnic or just to relax at weekends. The wood is, without doubt, a natural home for birds, animals and insects. If the trees were cut down, many species (物种) would be lost. Furthermore, the wood is right in the centre of a heavily polluted part of town. The trees help to make the air cleaner. The council (地方议会) says they are worried about global warming, yet they wish to cut down trees which help reduce the build-up of gases that lead to global warming because they feed on carbon dioxide. Besides, that area also suffers (遭受) from high noise levels from passing trucks and the railway line. The trees help reduce the noise levels and do a lot of good to the whole environment.In my opinion, cutting down the wood would be stupid and pointless. A car park may well attract shoppers to the town and increase the shopkeepers’ trade. However, a beautiful part of our town would be destroyed. I would be very interested in hearing what your other readers think.Yours faithfully,Roland Chang21. What has made Roland Chang feel worried?A. That the town is short of car parks.B. That shoppers park their cars badly.C. That there are few parks in the town.D. That a wood in the town might disappear.22. In Paragraph 2, Roland Chang mainly talks about _____.A. the importance of the woodB. the history of the townC. the species in the woodD. global warming23. Roland Chang wrote the letter mainly to _____.A. introduce a parkB. make a suggestionC. express thankfulnessD. send his congratulations24. To whom is Roland Chang probably writing?A. A magazine.B. A close friend.C. The shopkeepers.D. The town council.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。

S. with links to past, present and future presidents, as well as their close families.John F. Kennedys Weekend RetreatA modest farm near Middleburg, Virginia, was built by John F Kennedy and his wife in the early 1960s. The former first lady designed it herself. The four-bedroom property is currently back on the market for $5.95 million, decreased by $2 million compared with 2015. It was $10.99 million when it first was put up for sale in 2013.Jackie Kennedys Summer HouseAnother Kennedy-linked property for sale is the "Lasata" estate in the Hamptons, designed by architect Arthur C. Jackson and built in 1917. Set on more than seven acres of land near the ocean, it includes a 10-bedroom house that was restored in 2007, including a three-car garage building. It's on the market for $38.9 million, a little bit higher than last year.Chester A. Arthur's Summer White HouseChester A. Arthur, who became the 21st president in 1881, spent some of his down time here. The three-story, six-bedroom Victorian mansion, which was built in 1796 and has been recently restored, is for sale with a $14. 2 million price tag, down from $20 million in 2015. Features include a library with fireplace, a formal dining and living room and a family room overlooking the garden and the swimming pool.President Obama's Summer RentalThis Martha's Vineyard home served as the summer White House to PresidentObama. It is currently for sale for S19. 1 million, down from S22.5 million in July 2015. Set on nine acres of land and with its own private road, this property no doubt acted as a perfect summer hideaway for those who didn’t want their every movement seen. In addition to privacy, other features include a heated pool, half-basketball court, outdoor terraces and a two-bedroom guest cottage21. Which house has the longest history?A. President Obama’s Summer RentalB. Jackie Kennedy’s Summer HouseC. Chester A. Arthur’s Summer White HouseD. John F. Kennedy’s Weekend Retreat22. What is the feature of President Obama’s Summer Rental?A. PrivacyB. ArchitectureC. LocationD. Price.23. What do the four houses have in common?A. Their prices are going down these years.B. They have connections with US presidents.C. They have a history of more than a century.D. They have more than 5 bedrooms in the house.BIt was just one word in one email, but it caused huge financial losses for a multinational company. The message, written in English, was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second language. Unsure of the word. the receiver found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary. He acted on the wrong one. Months later, senior management investigated why the project had failed, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.When such misunderstandings happen, it's usually the native speakers who are to blame. Ironically, they are worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language.A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world's global language. They don't feel the need to accommodate or adapt to others. They often talk too fast for others to follow and use jokes, slang, short forms and references specific to their own culture. "The first time I worked in an international institution, somebody said ‘ETA 16: 53’ and I thought‘What the hell is ETA?’ ", says Michael Blatter, an executive in an international company.And then there's cultural style. When a British reacts to a proposal by saying "that's interesting", a fellow British might recognize this as "that's rubbish " But other nationalities would take the word "interesting" on face value.Also, lots of the information is not fully understood because of the complex language native speakers use. Too many non-native speakers, especially the Asians and the French, are too concerned about not “losing face” and nod approvingly while not getting the message at all, because of which, the native speakers continue delivering information that makes little sense to them. The information gap is unnoticed and keeps widening.Native speakers should communicate efficiently with simple language. Whentrying to communicate in English with a group of people with different levels of fluency, it's important for native speakers to make the same point in a couple of different ways and ask for some acknowledgement, reaction and action, to know whether they've been understood or not.24. The first paragraph of the passage is written to_____.A. tell readers an interesting storyB. introduce the topic of the passageC. state the importance of EnglishD. show an example of communication25. What can we learn about Michael?A. He thinks British people talk too fastB. He feels no need to adapt to othersC. He's not a native English speaker.D. He finds British culture hard to understand26. What might cause the Asians and the French to “lose face” according to the passage?A. Being unable to use complex languageB. Being non-native English speakersC. Failing to understand native speakersD. Nodding approvingly while listening27. Native speakers are advised to ask for listeners acknowledgement in order to____.A. talk to a group of people at the same timeB. learn about listeners' levels of fluencyC. get suggestions from listenersD. check listeners' understandingCScientists have identified the order of the gene of the giraffe for the first time to help explain how the tallest animals on earth developed their remarkably long necks.Being a giraffe is not easy. To pump blood two meters up from the chest to the brain calls for a powerful heart and twice the blood pressure of other mammals. Giraffes also need special safety system to let them bend down for a drink and raise their heads again without feeling dizzy.The animals' unique body structure has long been a puzzle for biologists, including Charles Darwin. Now, by comparing the gene of the giraffe with its closest relative, the short-necked okapi, scientists have solved part of the puzzle by studying changes in a small number of genes responsible both for regulating body shape and circulation. This suggests that the development of a long neck and a powerful heart went hand in hand, driven by a relatively small number of genetic changes.The interpretation of the genetic factors behind the giraffe's remarkable heart system could also be instructive for human health, since the animals appear to avoid the kind of organ damage often found in people with high blood pressure.The more fundamental question of why giraffes developed their long necks remains open, however. The apparently self-evident idea that it was to reachever-higher food supplies has been challenged in the past 20 years by a competing belief that it is actually due to competition among fighting males for females.Unlike long-necked birds, which have additional vertebrae (椎骨), giraffes have the same seven vertebrae found in all mammals, although theirs are greatly extended.28. A strong heart is very important for a giraffe because it____.A. pumps blood to the brain high above its bodyB. keeps the blood pressure at a normal levelC. helps the giraffe find a drink at lower placesD. keeps the giraffe safe in different environments29. Scientists compare the gene of the giraffe and the short-necked okapi because the latter___.A. has a quite special body structureB. is a puzzle worth further studyC. is in the same family as the giraffeD. has gone through few genetic changes30. Which possibly caused the giraffe to develop a long neck?A. Its favorite food at high placesB. Its attempts to attract femalesC. Its need to avoid organ damage.D. Its greatly-extended vertebrae31. What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce a new finding of science.B. To explain genetic changes in animals.C. To describe giraffes body structure.D. To challenge a belief of twenty years.DBetty smith's first novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, became immediately popular when it was published in 1943. The story is set in the years of 1900 to 1920. It tells of Francie Nolan and her parents, who were born to immigrants, and their struggle to provide for their family. Smith says she based the story on her own experiences growing up in the neighborhood of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, a borough of New York City. It's widely believed that the character of Francie is based on Smith.The tree of the book's title refers to the big Tree of Heaven which grows near the family's apartment building, despite attempts to get rid of it. It's a symbol for Francie herself. Francie is determined to survive and improve her life, despite things that get in her way: her father is an alcoholic and dies, her mother doesn't care about Francie’s dreams and her family is almost constantly poor.The novel tells the story of how Francie’s parents, Johnny and Katie Nolan, met as teenagers. Katie later became pregnant, and they married before either of them had turned 20. Despite his charm and good nature, Johnny is an alcoholic who can't hold a job. Katie supports the family by cleaning apartment buildings. This went against tradition, as the man was usually the one with the job who provided for the family. Francie enjoys learning, and idolizes her father, who shares her dreamy nature andvivid imagination. He lies to get Francie into a better school, realizing it's what will make her happiest.Readers experience the scenes in Brooklyn from Francie’s point of view. She observes the neighborhood's people and events from the fire escape outside the family’s apartment.Family plays a key role throughout A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Katie tries hard to provide for her family when Johnny can't. The children work after-school jobs to support their mother after Johnny dies. Additionally, Francie sacrifices her savings to send her brother to school.Smith's book is still a popular read for many young women even though it's more than 70 years old.32. Which of the following is TRUE about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?A. It is an autobiography of Betty SmithB. It is Betty smith's most popular bookC. It sets the story in New York in the 1940sD. It tells of immigrants' life in New York33. What role does the Tree of Heaven play in Francie’s life?A. It accompanies her growthB. It represents her struggle in lifeC. It contributes to her successD. It makes her dream come true34. The underlined word "This" refers to the fact that_____.A. Johnny was charming and had good natureB. Johnny married Katie before they were 20C. Katie worked as a cleaner in department buildingsD. Katie supported the family instead of Johnny35. What message does Betty Smith try to convey in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?A. Family support is of significanceB. Men should support their familiesC. Immigrants in the US got married earlyD.

After graduation, Munsch at first wanted to become a priest(牧师) but then he changed his career path towards writing stories for children. He started off with working at day care centers. In 1975 he decided to move back to Canada. There he worked in the preschool at the University of Guelph in Ontario. He also lectured and then became an assistant professor there in the Department of Family Studies.Robert Munsch is all about storytelling and that is something he loves most. His illustrative (解说的) style of telling his story attracted the attention of his first audience in 1972. And that was the beginning of his storytelling career.

Robert then stated putting his imaginative style on paper and thus became a famousauthor of children’s books.Munsch’s characters are taken from real life; they are the children he meets while storytelling in different places. For example his story Ribbon Rescue was inspired by a girl who came to hear his story wearing a ribbon dress. Another story called Lighthouse was inspired by two children named Amanda and Jeremiah who he met in Pontiac, Michigan. His own children have also played some parts in his stories.Munsch has written many books which have also been translated into various languages. His first books The Mud Puddle and The Dark were published in 1979. His most notable work is the book Love You Forever, which was published in 1986. This book became an international bestseller.Robert Munsch is known for his overstated (夸张的) way of storytelling and use of different voices He repeats a story many times to improve its quality.

Strong-minded and patientD. Warm-hearted and honestCSeveral weeks ago, KidsPost did a story on “The Art of Video Games” at theSmithsonian American Art Museum. The exhibition has created debate with some people saying that as fun as video games are, they are not works of art. Other people say that video games may be a new form of art and that they belong in museums. Here are a few of the letters we received.A video game is like a painting on a screen. In order to make a video game, you have to think of something original (新颖的) to reach the players. That is the point of art.--- Mary Pottanat, 13I believe video games are not a form of art. Art should be a visual and creative expression of feelings. Although it is arguable that video games are visual, they do not express feelings in any way.--- Pranab Kirshnan, 12 However exciting video games are, they are not art. Painting is art, but not video games. Art has beauty and culture that no technology could ever compare to. Even though you can create art in some video games, the “Mona Lisa” was not painted with Nintendo.--- Caroline Kaplan, 10 Art is a way of communicating ideas to the public in a way that is fun to them. The “public”, who in this case are kids and adults, are find ing these video games from different time periods interesting. Video games would not have been art if it had not been for the kids and adults attracted by “the art of video games.”--- Ryan Puthumana, 1018. Who is the author?A. An artistB. A video game creator.C. Someone who works at KidsPost.D. Someone who works in a museum.19. We can learn from the passage thatA. Caroline Kaplan disagrees with Mary Pottanat.B. only one kid thinks video games are similar to art.C. Pranab Kirshnan doesn’t like playing video games.D. the older the kids are, the more they like video games.20. Ryan Puthumana holds the view that video games areA. can’t be fun enough to be artB. are so interesting that they are art.C. cannot express feelings as well as art.D. are not so popular with kids as before.21. The passage mainly discussA. whether video games are art or not.B. what can be considered works of art.C. the reasons people like or hate video games.D. the differences between video games and art.DIt must have been a very clever human who looked at a sheep walking past and thought of the use its wool might have! Although the oldest surviving textile (纺织品) made of wool is around 3,500 years old, the oldest fine woolen clothes dates back to about 2,500 years ago and was found in ancient Greece.Wool was probably the first fiber to be woven into textile. Because when humans stopped hunting and started raising animals, it was their first step from a wild life to a civilized (文明的) one. Sheep became a convenience store for the new lifestyle of our ancestors during the Stone Age, a walking food supply that required little care. Sheep provided all --- meat and milk for food, skin and bones for clothing, shelter and tools.Some sheep were suitable to roast while others were to produce wool, as good eating sheep do not necessarily have high-quality wool. Early wild species of sheep had long outer hair protecting their short wool undercoats. It was this under-layer that was highly suitable for textile use, so they were selectively bred into modern sheep. Great empires (帝国) were built on the backs of sheep and their wool. Around 1800 BC the civilization of Babylonia was famous for its wool. In 45 AD, the Romans conquered (征服) Spain. They developed a new breed that would come to be known as the Spanish Merino, with the whitest, finest wool ever known. Today, the Merino is the most highly regarded breed in the world.The Chinese held onto the secret of silk for thousands of years before Europeans even got an idea about how to put two threads together. With wool, they seem to have got their revenge.22. It can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3 thatA. early wild sheep needed much care.B. good eating sheep have top quality wool.C. sheep’s long outer hair is best suitable for textile use.D. sheep were raised for different uses in the Stone Age.23. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about ?A .Rome conquered Spain for the Merino sheep. B. Why Merino is popularC. Some empires rose due to sheep and wool.D. What is civilization of Babylonia.24. The underlined part in the last paragraph can best be replaced by ““.A. have returned an injuryB. have had a disadvantageC. have lost hope for futureD. have been able to conquer the world25. Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from ?A. BusinessB. TravelC. HistoryD. Lifestyle第二节七选五 (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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
