Where to stay if you come to NYC.D. How to have fun when you live in NYC.BIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Par agraph 1?A. Feel shy.B. Stay calm.C. Keep up.D. Feel upset.26. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.A. problems cause troublesB. attitude is everythingC. challenges can be avoidedD. personalities are built on failures27. According to the last paragraph, when we’ re in trouble, we ______.A. can only depend on our parentsB. are not aloneC. should only believe ourselvesD. are not confident28. What’ s the writer’ s purpose to write the passage?A. To encourage.B. To compare.C. To prove.D. To explain.29. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Avoid ProblemsB. Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35. Dialogue in the Dark helps visitors learn about problems with _____.A. being deafB. being blindC. being dumbD. being too old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。

2017---2018学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语试卷
2017---2018学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语试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AStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the man y colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeto n, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only you ng men went to college. All the students studied the same sub jects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could te ach everything that was known about the world. When the stu dents graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers. In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men w ho wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive th eir training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin an d Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American histor y.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges bega n to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choo se the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and unive rsities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that o ne kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early y ears, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______ .A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and Ge rmanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a st ory and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my han d right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I ha d to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all bec ame clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. H e lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading syste m of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to t he blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like th e “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen star ted to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I eve r give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were th ese words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading inclass because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take thetask home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from scho ol6.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the sa me. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we r an remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We part ed here; My parents met here; I won three championships her e.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrou nding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first be droom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel t all and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room i n the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden d resser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists i n my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles . It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, a nd I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, an d my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, beca use I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm ho me.8. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"( Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.9. What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los An geles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining r oom.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first ph ysical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in NewJersey 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 h is 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 mothe r 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 our house, for those times when it w as so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the mil k wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to tim e taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and t elling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big co mpanies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale eve rywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a deli very service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. 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 s tart telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who bro ught us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?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.14. 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.15. 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 needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.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How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like? Sci-fi, adventure, mystery, non-fiction, realistic fiction? What authors do you like? Is there a ty pe of book, or a specific book you would like to try? 16 Inse rt your hobbies into your library catalog(目录) search and set it to, “Keyword.” By doing this, you will find books that you can read.Search your house.17 Maybe you forgot one, or someone who is living with yo u has a couple of good books.

AFor some travelers, a typical hotel room is a bit boring. Here a re the world’s several strangest hotels.The MirrorcubeThe Mirrorcube is hung on a tree trunk and covered in mirrors . It accommodates two people at a time, with a double bed, a small bathroom and a living room. Access to the room is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. Hidden among the tre es, the mirrors provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings.ICEHOTELICEHOTEL is the world's largest hotel made from snow and ic e. Guests can sleep in a bed made of snow and ice, at temper atures around -5 ℃.The entire building melts and gets reconstructed every year. Each November, a team of architects rebuilds the rooms fro m several hundred tons of ice. If your ideal vacation consists of walking around in snow pants and furs, ICEHOTEL is worth your visit.Marmara AntalyaMarmara Antalya provides guests with a constantly changing view. Floating in a pool of 478 tons of water and aided by six electric motors, it turns a full 360 degrees on its foundation se veral times a day.Tianzi HotelBuilt in 2016, this 10-floor building is shaped like Fu, Lu and Shou — the symbols o f Chinese gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity.Shou, on the left, is holding a peach that contains a suite(套房). Guests can enter the hotel through his right foot. If you ar e in China and near the Tianzi Hotel, visit it or stay a night bec ause you have the opportunity to rest in the world's largest im age hotel.1. What is the character of the Mirrorcube?A. It is a tree-house hotel.B. It is shaped like a statue.C. It is different every year.D. It turns 360 degrees.2. Which hotel is built on the water?A. The MirrorcubeB. ICEHOTELC. Marmara AntalyaD. Tianzi Hotel3. What is unique to Tianzi Hotel?A. It has a long history.B. It is a 10-floor building.C. It represents good fortune.D. It is the largest image hotel.BGrowing up, I always hid my thumbs in my fists because of th eir unusual shape. Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D. Being teased by surrounding people.5. What did the author and the old woman have in common?A. They had the same appearance.B. Their ancestors came from Poland.C. Their thumbs and toes looked the same.D. They felt the same towards their thumbs.6. What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 3 p robably mean?A. Be ashamed of.B. Be curious about.C. Accept willingly.D. Bear bravely.7. What is the best title for this text?A. Polish thumbsB. Polish mannersC. A heritage of beautyD. Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers: “Whe n you die,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’(Beth,9)“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.” (Jimmy, 8)“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ” (Judy,9)“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”(Stephanie,9)I've observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I've seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I've observed friends just listen foras long as it takes.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn (1882—1961) discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute (颂词) to friendship:"Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”No one wants to go through difficult times alone.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forec ast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driv ing on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.29.What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?A.His creation was inspired by an experience.B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.30.Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A.motor→canopy→sensorsB.sensors→motor→canopyC.motor→sensors→canopyD.canopy→motor→sensors31.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A.Its moving speed.B.Its appearance.C.Its installation.D.Its safety.32.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.DGenerations of children grew up reading comic(漫画) books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze(狂热) among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate(合著) on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise, publish and share with others in their communities.Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in(投入). And it turns out that comic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit(利用)a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.33.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A.Japanese Comic Books.ic Books in the Classroom.C.Reading Efficiently.D.A Current Craze.34.The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to .A.develop the cooperation among adolescentsB.make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC.help students who have some difficulty in readingD.popularize a new method of teaching35.It can be inferred that .ic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB.parents have different opinions about their children reading comic booksC.more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic booksic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country第二节：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。
