It was a scene that had beenrepeated many times in the theat er’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town," he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A. It made room for new equipment.B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.C. It was done with the help of the audience.D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A. It was an all-time classic.B. It was about the history of the town.C. The audience requested it.D. The theater owner found it suitable.26. What will probably happen to the building?A. It will be repaired.B. It will be turned into a museum.C. It will be knocked down.D. It will be sold to the city government.27. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford.B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials.D. They are eager to have a shopping center.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —major food sources (来源) for the wolf —grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce thewolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Wildlife research in the United States.B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29. What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Tested.B. Separated.C. Forced out.D. Tracked down.30. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A. Damage to local ecology.B. A decline in the park’s income.C. Preservation of vegetation.D. An increase in the variety of animals.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB"in order to understand 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-vehicletechnologies 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 problems."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 fined. 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."32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A. To explore new means of transport.B. To design new types of cars.C. To find out older driver’s problems.D. To teach people traffic rules.33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A. It keeps them independent.B. It helps them save time.C. It builds up their strength.D. It cures their mental illnesses.34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A. Improve their driving skills.B. Develop driver-assist technologies.C. Provide tips on repairing their cars.D. Organize regular physical checkups.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A new Model Electric CarB. A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC. Driving Services for EldersD. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road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。

ALow-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there fo r any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular me dical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need,” but another set of ey es and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part this one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and w hat times she takes them. “Having all this information in one p lace could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encoura ge better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is ve ry important to our health.”Gift No. 4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but in expensive things — many of which are “green”— and then ch oose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charit y.1. What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor’s visit s?A. Be with her.B. Buy medicine.C. Give her gifts.D. Take notes.2. Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep?A. In Gift No. 1.B. In Gift No. 2.C. In Gift No. 3.D. In Gif t No. 4.3. Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to _ ______.A. enjoy good sleepB. be well-organizedC. get extra supportD. give others helpB“The wheels on the bus go round and round…” she sang. I’d s een her before; she was a regular, like me. Every day I would ride the city bus from Burlington to Saint Michael’s college in Colchester.On this day I was riding with a friend. We were sitting in the back, observing a tone-deaf(音盲的) woman practicing her singing. Not only was her voice unb earable, but she would harass(骚扰) every person that got on or off the bus. The driver became annoyed.“Ma’am,you’ve got to settle down,” he demanded.The bus ride gave me plenty of time to think about everything.I would imagine what it would be like to have the bus driver’sjob. The man is under constant stress, narrowly missing cars while making a turning and paying attention to bus stops. When we reached our stop, my friend pulled the yellow cord t o signal the driver. The bus had a door in the front and in the middle. Since we were sitting in the back, my friend excited th rough the closer middle one. I, however, walked out through t he front, past the singing woman, giving the driver a wave and a “thank you”.“You are welcome… have a nice day,” he resp onded, sounding puzzled.I started walking with my friend. “Why do you always walk out the front? The middle door is right there,” she asked.“To say goodbye.” I responded.“What?” she said. “You’re crazy.”But I don’t think I’m crazy. I have a personal obligation(责任) to the man who transported me across town. I don’t know his name, but he deserves my respect. So many people walk through those bus doors, with little regard for others around th em. Politeness goes a long way, and a smile always lightens t he mood and brightens a room. Little acts of selfless kindness make a huge difference to people’s lives.4. Why did the driver tell the singing woman to settle down?A. The woman was tone-deaf.B. The woman has sung a long time.C. The driver was under stress that day.D. Passengers were disturbed by her voice.5. Why did the author exit through the front door?A. He was near the front door.B. He wanted to thank the driver.C.

What does the author intend to tell us through the text?A. Be nice to the people around you.B. People should know their obligations.C. Everyone should observe public rules.D. People should treat disabled people with kindness.CLocated in the Swiss Alps, Bergun is one of the most beauti ful mountain villages in Europe. It is so beautiful that photos of it shared on social media may make people that can’t visit it f eel depressed, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.It may sound like a joke, but it’s actually a new law approve d by its mayor(市长). The justification for the photo ban is that photos of the be autiful village could make people seeing them on social media jealous(嫉妒的) and depressed. To prevent visitors from taking photos in B ergun, a symbolic €5 fine will be given to those caught breaki ng the law.“We don’t want to make people outside the community unhap py by sharing social media photos of our landscape, and we warmly invite people to visit Bergun to experience it in person.” said the mayor.However, it seems unlikely that Bergun’s new law was really t hought up as a way to spare people from the depressing expe rience of seeing the beauty of the village. As the news spread online, many guessed that it was actually a clever marketing scheme, and this theory was partially confirmed by the village’s director of tourism, Marc-Andrea Barandun.“Now everyone is talking about Bergun, so it’s a combination of both — we made the law and also there’s some marketing aim behind it.” Barandun added that it was unlikely that anyon e would actually be fined for taking a photo in the village.To show that they were serious about the law, Bergun authorities removed photos of the village from Facebook and Twitter, and have declared their purpose to remove them from the Ber gun website too. If the new law is just a promotional(营销的) tool, it actually worked wonders, as people started posting more photos of the village soon after the news of the photo b an started making headlines.8. Why did Bergun authorities forbid visitors to take photos of their village?A. It was only a joke made by the authorities.B. The photos may cause uneasy feeling.C. The authorities wanted to get more fines.D. The photos prevented visitors visiting the village.9. The underlined word “justification” in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by “________”.A. evidenceB. backgroundC. reasonD. desire10. What can we learn from the words of Marc-Andrea Barandun?A. The law will not be applied strictly.B. Visitors should treat the law seriously.C. The law is only a trick to attract visitors.D. The law may have a bad effect on the tourism.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People will post more photos online to break the law.B. The photos of the village will disappear soon online.C. Fewer and fewer people will visit the village.D. The village will become better-known.D’s new robot HSR is devoted to a single task: picking things u p. HSR is short for “human support robot”. It comes with a sin gle mechanical arm that can hold objects of various shapes a nd sizes and pick up smaller items with a tiny cup. It doesn’t h ave other tricks, except for a computer panel on its head for s urfing the Internet. A person can also access the robot from a nother computer and use it like a camera-phone.HSR will first be used for people with disabilities and then for t he elderly in general. Picking up is especially challenging for p eople with spinal(脊柱的) disorders and other illnesses. Although it can only do one simple task of picking up, it’s already making disabled people quite happy. “We’re just getting started, but eventually it will e nter people’s homes,” the engineer Kouichi Ikeda said. Nearly40 percent of ’s population will be 65 or older by 2060 and the rest of the developed world and some developing nations will follow it. “People feel more comfortable asking a robot to pic k up after them than asking a human helper,” said Ikeda.came up with the idea of HSR in 2012. The model should be ready to enter universities, research facilities and businesses next year, where it can get more applications. One disadvanta ge is that mass(大规模的) production is needed for the price to come down.The robot has several cameras, including two on its head that look like its eyes and sensors(感应器) on its body. It runs quietly around in all directions. Unlike o ther robotic arm, HSR’s hold and bumps are designed to be s oft so they can’t hurt anyone. But it can pick up items that wei gh up to 2.6 pounds.12. What do we know about HSR?A. It can fulfill various needs.B. It can help get different things.C. It can be made into different sizes.D. It cannot be used to surf the Internet.13. In the eyes of Ikeda, the robot ________.A. faces many problemsB. will have a bright futureC. is intended for the disabledD. works best in hospitals for patients14. What is the problem with HSR from now?A. Its size.B. Its shape.C. Its cost.D. Its function.15. What is special about HSR compared with other robots?A. It is safe to use.B. It moves quickly.C. It works by sensors.D. It has many cameras.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年度第二学期期中考试高二学年英语试卷分值:120分时间100分钟第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共20题;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节:(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AMrs. White lived in a town of England. Her husband died three years ago and one of her children worked in the capital and the o ther three lived in another town. Her husband didn’t leave her much money and she had to live a simple life. Sometimes her children went to see her during their holidays, but they stayed with her for only two or three days.One winter morning the old woman got up early. She was going to buy some food in a shop. And when she came out, she found there was much snow in the street. She had to sweep it away. And suddenly she found a dying dog at the corner of the house. She picked it up and took it into the house quickly. She put it near the fire and gave it some milk and bread. At first the poor dog ate nothing and that afternoon it drank some milk and three days later it was all right. Now the old woman found it was a beautiful dog. And she liked it very much and took it everywhere she went.A week later she went shopping with her dog. At a bus stop a young man was eating fish and chips. The little dog became very excited at the smell of the man’s lunch and began jumping up at him.“Do you mind if I throw it a bit ?” asked the young man.“Not at all,” answered Mrs. White.Having heard this, he picked up the dog and threw it over the wall.1.

Glancing at her scornfully, he told her the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant the next day.She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After searching out the rude assistant she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.5.

At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.9. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended__________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills10. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.11. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.DDo you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people like to go fast-food restaurants for these reasons . In the past, people usually went to diners for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reason.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. it wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food re staurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.12. What meals did the first diners serve?A. Only breakfast.B. Only lunch.C. Only night-meals.D. All of the above.13. According to paragraph 3, diners changed in _____.A. two waysB. three waysC. four waysD. five ways14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Diners existed before fast-food restaurants.B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant.D. Sandwiches became bigger.15. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United StatesB. Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways.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。

It was a scene that had beenrepeated many times in the theat er’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town," he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems.

By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —major food sources (来源) for the wolf —grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce thewolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28. What is the text mainly about?A.

Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB"in order to understand 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-vehicletechnologies 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 problems."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 fined. 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."32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A. To explore new means of transport.B. To design new types of cars.C. To find out older driver’s problems.D. To teach people traffic rules.33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A. It keeps them independent.B. It helps them save time.C. It builds up their strength.D. It cures their mental illnesses.34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A. Improve their driving skills.B. Develop driver-assist technologies.C. Provide tips on repairing their cars.D. Organize regular physical checkups.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A new Model Electric CarB. A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC. Driving Services for EldersD.
