Claus did not exist has been fired.When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa,the supply teacher said out suddenly,“It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.”The class of sevenyearolds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School,Royton,Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher,who only worked at the school for one day last week,has been disciplined.The school has now said it will not hire her again.One father said,“My son came home and said that histeacher had told the class that Santa doesn't exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them.Obviously,they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy.She just came straight out with it.”“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas.I thought it was wrong.He was crazy about it.He's only seven years old and it's part of the magic of Christm as to him.”“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now.”“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent(恶意地).A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school.The teacher,who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency,is still listed and will work with other schools,”the agency said.However,the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.41.Who felt the angriest about the incident?A.The teacher who was fired.B.The pupils who were in tears.C.The parents whose children cried.D.Santa Claus the teacher talked about.42.The sevenyearold children cried because of ________.A.their teacher's leavingB.the letters by the schoolC.something about Santa ClausD.the presents left out by the parents43.We can infer from the passage that ________.A.the teacher was fired and couldn't continue her career in teachingB.the parents complained about the discipline of the schoolC.the little pupils felt disappointed after hearing the news told by the teacherD.in reality,Santa Claus exists and gives out presents oncea year.44.What's the meaning of the underlined word“rowdy”?A.Surprised.B.Noisy.C.Discouraged.D.Annoyed.BPicking tomatoesFor as long as I can remember,Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September,just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days,Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same,her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I,however,just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato,head in its direction,and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way,which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.There we are,lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing,and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden,she evaluates the tomato for a secondtime,but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However,Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side,kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face,and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round,red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a halfhearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection.I know I smile,instead,at her.45.Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?A.He can help pick more tomatoes.B.He can learn the hardship of labor.C.She enjoys staying with him while working.D.She tries to share the happiness of harvest with him.46.The second paragraph shows that the author ________.A.is an inefficient tomato pickerB.really has youthful eyes and quick mindC.has spent a lot of time gardening with GrandmaD.is a naughty child trying to be out of Grandma's sight47.In the last paragraph,the author smiles to Grandma because he ________.A.realized her true intentionsB.felt very happy to pick potatoes for herC.confirmed that her choice of tomato is greatD.appreciated her skill in finding ripe tomatoes48.What can we infer from the story?A. The grandchild will become more skillful at gardeningthan Grandma.B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C.The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.D.Grandma's need for the grandchild's company will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes,the most popular girl,in school,stopped me.“Are you the twin who won the art competition?”she asked.“No,that's Christine.I'm Katie.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine,I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers,spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry,though,she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation,she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her,but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild,unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym,I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine,here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high,she leapt for it,it slipped through her fingers andcrashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked,“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested,“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone,I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me,and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished,the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the“thumbs up”ura Jamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked,“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes,that's me,”I answered,grining(露齿笑)as I walked to class.49.The authur uses“Snow White”and“Cinderella's stepsisters”to showA.how dissimilar the twins were in appearaneeB.why Christine could win the art competitionC.who was the most popular girl at schoolD.what the twins characters were like50.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Christine was unpleasant to her sister.B.Katie showed a lot of ability in painting too.C.The masterpiece was painted by the two sisters.D.Katie took a reasonably balanced view of her sister.51.Christine recommended Katie for the national anthem because ________.A.she knew perfectly well what Katie had a gift for.B.she wanted to repair the damage she had caused.C.she thought Katie should be punished.D.she would like to help the coach.52.What is the message of the story?A.Bad situations help become popular.B.People are talented in different ways.C.People should always be nice to others.D.Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size,of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America,and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year,I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia,where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes,“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on,the dreams they are filled with,and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes,“The houses and circumstances are different,but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now,waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving,or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive,you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years,but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window,which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night,still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting,home is whom you're with,not where you are.As Edwards writes,“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.53.According to the author,what makes a house a home?A.All the belongings in the house.B.Feelings of warmth and comfort.C.The houses and circumstances.D.Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.54.About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives,we know that ________.A.it was the description of Edwards' housesB.it is mainly about housesC.it helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeD.it was written by the author of the text55.What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A.His house was too old to live in.B.He missed the feeling of home.C.He hated living there.D.He missed his old friends too much.E篇章结构Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2 000 years ago.The Romans' ideas about roads,laws,government and buildings still influence us today.Italy is shaped like a boot.The Colosseum in Rome was built during the time of the Roman Empire,in the first century A.D.__56 _It is a popular tourist attraction today.Italy is

Located on the third floor of the South Block of Senate House, thecenter has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, aswell as casual armchairs and bar-style desks.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly refurbished(翻新的) UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfwayalong Gray ’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–8:00 pm. The library has 72 study spaces, and many IT facilities are available. The libraryalso has a study room for meetings and a computer room with an interactive whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and hasrecently been refurbished to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSSis smaller than most other UCL Libraries and tends to fill up relatively quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as the Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register for free membershiponline. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers someplaces a little less used by UCL students but perfect for getting down to somehard work.1.

He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry.So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you goto dinner at Kathy and David’s house on Thursday night there might be 15 t o 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of themcrashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David ’s have suffered the pains of modern poverty:homelessness, hunger, abuse.And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kidscome from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphonesare banned. The kids who call Kathy and David“Momma” and“Dad,” are politeand clear the dishes.Birthdays and graduations are celebrated.Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody elseknows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts.“At my first dinner,Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared fromNew Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as ifit were the highest art form.”“They give us a gift—complete intolerance of social distance.WhenI first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his.He looked at it and said, ‘Wehug here, ’and we’ve been hugging since.”Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turnaround kids ’ lives.“I still haven’t seen one program change one kid ’s life,”he says. “What changes people is relationships.

It’s because eating processedmeat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.Processed meat is the meat that has been preserved by salting,smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cance r (IARC) in Lyon, France studied 800 patients.The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is“enough evidence ” of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.WHOexperts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is“probably”carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in astatement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red andprocessed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk ofheart disease and obesity.However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They saythat meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows thatdiets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.9.It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC ________.A.are all processed foodsB.aren ’t often eaten by peopleC.can be the most dangerous to humansD.can greatly increase the risk of cancer10. What can take the place of the underlined word“protest”?A. Learn from.B. Disagree with.C. Take interest in.D. Pay attentionto.11.What can be used as the best title of the passage?A.WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause CancerB.The Importance of Having a Balanced DietC.Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for HumansD.Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of CancerDChildren grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot buynew shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million childrenaround the world go barefoot.Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.Kenton Lee, an American man invented The Shoe That Grows. He explains,“It grows in three places: the front, on the side and on the back. It can last up tofive years. The bottom is rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-qualityleather.”Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in anorphanage in Kenya. “ I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes. The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to lether toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if therewere a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. Finally,in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. Inthe office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to helphim remember his promise.A pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection.It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed.“ Because it's a small thing that reallydoes make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chancesto succeed.”Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as manychildren as he can around the world.12.The first paragraph may intends to tell us ________.A.many children suffer lacking shoesB.shoes are badly needed in many placesC.the necessity of inventing the new shoesD.we should make efforts to help the children13.What does the underlined word“ parasites” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Small living things that live on or inside something.B.The remains that left in the soil after crops got in.C.Some worms that protect soil.D. Small insects that are not easy to find.14.What ’s the main idea of paragraph 3?A.The children in orphanage live a hard life.B.What inspired Kenton Lee to invent the shoes.C.A girl with a pair of worn shoes.D.Kenton Lee wanted to help the children.15.From Kenton Lee, we can know _________.A.the new-invented shoes can grow automaticallyB.he had little difficulty in inventing the new type shoesC.he had a great dream to invent shoes from his childhoodD. shoes are important for children’s physical and mental growth第二节(共 5小题,每题2分,满分10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

广东省湛江第一中学高二英语上学期第一次大考试题
广东省湛江第一中学2016-2017学年高二英语上学期第一次大考试题第一部分:英语语言知识运用(共两节,满分40分)第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AYou may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone’s home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats.Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was a 10-year-old African elephant.Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Poole says, “I could not tell the difference between Mlaik a’s call and the distant truck noise.” She and other scientists studied Mlaika’s sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck.“Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant,” Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, “They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sounds to keep in contact.”Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.1. According to Dr. Poole, what does Mlaika copy?A. The sound of people.B. The sound of trucks.C. The sound of Calimero.D. The sound of birds.2. From paragraph 4, we can know ________.A. Calimero is a 23-year-old male Asian elephantB. African elephants never make chirping soundsC. Asian elephants make chirping sounds to talk with birdsD. Elephants make sounds to keep in touch with each other3. According to the passage, animals like to be copycats because they need_______.A. To keep in touch with nature.B. To please people and other animals.C. To make new friends and keep old ones.D. To avoid danger from the outside world.BMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son. Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work, doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem an d was quite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the haptismal (洗礼) ceremony,of course.On the day of the haptism, Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at th e hall. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister you are! Never oncedid you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation(控诉) had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She cou ldn’t look at Yehud it; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mo uth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddenly turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening linger s on …4. Shaindle didn’t visit her sister after her sister gave birth because______________.A. she was jealous of her sisterB. she lived far from her sisterC. she was too busy to visit herD. she didn’t feel quite herself5. The under lined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means_____________.A. make fun of somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. be impolite to somebody6. We can learn from th e last paragraph that_____________.A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many yearsB. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-lawC. Yehudit did n’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleD. Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years7. The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___________.A. words sometimes can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should forget unpleasant thingsD. two sisters’ different experiencesCIn 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, nav igation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experie nced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant(助理), and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be t he first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit(因纽特)guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pul led on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and f ellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in theArlington National Cemetery.8. In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.A. a wonderful seamanB. an educated captainC. a good shop assistantD. a successful learner9. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.A. why Matthew Henson went to the hat shopB. how Matthew Henson met Robert PearyC. why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie HindsD. how Robert Peary knew Matthew Henson had sea experience10. The following statements are TRUE except ________.A. Henson proved himself a better seaman than PearyB. Peary wanted Henson to help him realize his dreamC. Before their final attempt, they made two trips togetherD. After they died, they were highly respected by people11. The story between Henson and Peary could best be compared to ________.A. treasure hunters looking for fortunesB. sailors seeking power over othersC. soldiers fighting for their freedomD. fighters exploring an unknown landDWhen introducing American universities, some of the first institutions(机构)to mention are the Ivy League schools. Originally, the Ivy League was an athletic conference made up of 8 private institutes of higher learning in northeastern United States. However, as time went on, these schools also became known for their excellence in academics besides athletics. Included in the Ivy League schools are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, and Harvard University. These 8 schools have been recognized as some of thebest colleges and universities in the United States.Harvard University is a private institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The university includes a number of graduate and professional schools, as well as a college for undergraduates. In 2012, Harvard ranked number one in US News’ ranking of national universities again. Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institute of higher education in the United States. It can be said that first there was Harvard, then the United States of America. Also, Harvard’s library contains the oldest collection of books in the United States as well as the largest private collection in the world. Harvard has also been described by Forbes Magazine as one of the “billionaire universities” as of their recent list of 469 billionaires, 50 received a degree from Harvard.Harvard College (the institute for undergraduate students) is one of the most famous schools in the United States. It offers over 40 undergr aduate fields of study, including astrophysics(天体物理学), mathematics, neurobiology(神经生物学), etc. And the financial aid program there is amazing. Even though the tuition is about 37,576, and there are other expenses throughout the year, about 70% of undergraduate students received financial aid. Out of those students, over 90% of them had their full need met. And the policies for international students are the same for U.S. citizens.Harvard College is very selective, as it only admits about 6% of their applicants. For admission into Harvard College, it is required that students take the SAT or the ACT, as well as 2 SAT Subject Tests. Harvard will also look at other factors during admission such as your application essay, high school transcript, work experience, GPA (Grade Point Average), your interview, recommendations, and most importantly, your character and personal qualities.12. What are the Ivy League schools famous for?A. Athletics and location.B. Academics and history.C. Financial aid and training.D. Athletics and academics.13.

Because there are 50 billionaires in Harvard University.D. Because 469 billionaires contribute to Harvard University.15. What can we learn from the passage?A. 90% students in Harvard have their full need met.B. Harvard College is the institute for graduate students.C. A minority of undergraduates couldn’t receive financial aid.D. The policies for international students differs from U.S. citizens.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。

AWhy play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all “game”ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played when you were in a primary school, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic and practical rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games to help them make preparations for work they will do as grown-ups. For example, some Saudi Arabian children show preference for a game called bones, which sharpens the precise hand-eye coordination needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympics, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition and make a presentation of their talents. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a precious gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who has earned it and should be praised. For countries facing the pressure of natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it–some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope and power through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.1.Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to________________.A. be a team leaderB. obey the basic rulesC. act as a grown-upD. predict possible danger2. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?A. It inspires peopl e’s deep love for the country.B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.3. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to __________________.A. bring fun to poor kidsB. provide soccer balls for childrenC. give poor kids a chance for a better lifeD. call on soccer players to help poor kids4. We can infer from the passage _______________________.A. Games benefit people all their livesB. Sports can get all athletes togetherB. People are advised to play games for fun D. Sports makes a country competitivenessBThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think constantly. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes to construct your own ideas. Otherwise, you might be controlled by others’ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical”here contains a special meaning. It doesn’t mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen–beyond the pictures on TV which are often not consistent with reality, the untrue and controversial reports in the newspapers, and the faulty and contradictory reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not consist with the fast speed in today’s world: fast food, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learnsomething new from a story about Albert Einstein, who made great contributions to science during his life. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a contemporary scientist, was to consult Albert Einstein about his work, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. but Einstein was very considerate and immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”5.Critical thinking is important to us because if we don’t think critically,______________.A.it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB.we might be controlled by other people’s ideasC.we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD.we might be fooled by other people’s ideas6.If you are a critical thinker, you will ______________________.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in thenewspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people fortheir mistakes7. In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ___________________.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC. speed can improve intelligenceD. intelligence is not decided by speed8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical ThinkingB. Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking is Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means IntelligenceCIn the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and cellphones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.You’ll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like switching on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear.There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of home-based media and entertainment systems, computernewspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analyzing video images of news events.The continuing loss of readers will result in a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.With the development of technology, more and more electronic medium have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists, who aren’t used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.9. Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages except that ____________.A. they are more expensive than traditional newspapersB. you can choose the kind of voice you like to hearC. you can get more information from them easilyD. you can easily store information for the future use10. The underlined word “resistance” in the fifth paragraph probably means ____________.A. a thought which directs your actionB. a force that acts to stop something happeningC. a force that helps you do somethingD. an idea which is different from others11. We can infer from the passage that _________________.A. all technological developments are very importantB. traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soonC. new things will replace the old ones in the futureD. traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular12. The author writes the article to __________________.A. let people know the great development of the journalismB. tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the futureC. prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any moreD. say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than beforeDMy father often talks about his definition of success. He tells us that it isn’t measured in money or material things, but in love and joy. While my brothers and I were all raised together under the same roof, I wonder how different we canbe sometimes. Four kids, four different life paths, personalities and ambitions.We must follow a different path to let our light shine, and that’s what makes us so unpredictable and unique. In today’s world, expecting every child’s education to be the same, progress at the same rate and be measured against the narrow standards of performances is not just outdated, it’s also harmful to young people.I experienced this disconnect(脱节) firsthand after graduating from college.I had many opportunities in front of me, but they didn’t test my limits and my creativity to pursue my passions. At first, I took a job at a big consulting firm. However, I couldn’t shake my passion for music. I had followed the somewhat predictable path of a college graduate, but I was crazy about how to become an artist. Now I am a nine-time Grammy Awards winner who has sold multiple Top 10 Albums.Imagine what it would look like if our schools were set up to help people discover and pursue a personal passion instead of a predictable path? The good news is that a number of individuals and organizations are finding new ways to innovate in education. The goal is to create more student-centered environments that help young people not just do better in school but also discover what they love.We can’t live lives of joy if we can’t discover what we love doing with our lives. So let each person discover the power and uniqueness of his or her own passion.13. What does the writer’s father think success should be measured in?A. Pleasure.B. Ability.C. Wealth.D. Fame.14. We can infer that the writer _________________________.A. is devoted to reforming the education systemB. pursued his passions once he left collegeC. realized his dream before his graduationD. finally became an outstanding singer15.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 1 to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的)dictionary. 2 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 3 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the4 bilingual(双语的)dictionaries, in which the words are5 both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt 6 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 7 that monolingual dictionaries are 8 in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two 9 in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 10 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 11 meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.12 , I have come to see what she meant.Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 13 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions.

广东湛江第一中学高二上二次考英语试卷
2020-2021学年广东湛江第一中学高二上二次考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Put your car keys away and forget about your travel pass--it’s time to do a bit of walking.National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets.an organization that campaigns for the tights and the needs of pedestrians. So the organization is previously known enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles; the delight of local discoveries --seeing more of your local areas on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking-- walking can clear your head.Walk to School Week 18 to 22 May, is part of the month’s act ivities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use pubic transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only the five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 11 to 15 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, after having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!1.what’s the purpose of Living Streets?A.To let people keep away from vehicles.B.To build safer walkways for pedestrians.C.To help people enjoy walking in the street and enjoy life.D.To make people aware of environmental pollution.2.Paragraph 3 is intended to show that walking is __________.A.so interesting B.very relaxingC.perfectly safe D.highly beneficial3.What can we learn from Walk to School Week?A.It is organized by the government.B.It is held before Walk to Work Week.C.It has developed rapidly over the last 20 years.D.It encourages students to walk to school alone.4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.An introduction to Walk to Work Week.B.A nationwide health movement.C.The influence of working day.D.National Walking Month’s history.Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that wedon't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.The second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stoodfor.5.In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________.A.it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB.it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC.it helps us understand why things are the way they areD.it helps people accept the present situation where they live6.Some historical figures(人物) are mentioned in the last paragraph to show______________.A.people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB.people may also learn from bad historical figuresC.more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD.today’s people can also achieve what they achieved7.What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A.How to teach history effectively.B.Some negative reasons for studying history.C.How to get more people to study history.D.Some bad historical figures.8.The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.A.inspire the parents to teach their children historyB.show the importance of history in politicsC.explain the reasons why children study historyD.introduce the writer' s own way of teaching historyWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with.My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation,but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in t heir bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together. 9.According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.A.it makes people more confidentB.it can pick up people' s spiritsC.it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD.it can help people get on well with others10.The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________. A.explaining carefully B.speaking loudC.keeping silent D.laughing hard11.In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.A.talk about his own understanding of humorB.encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC.introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD.convince people of the power of being optimistic about life12.What is the author' s attitude towards the present world?A.Positive. B.Critical.C.Satisfied. D.Indifferent.Amazon. com has received a patent(专利) right to send its products to customers by drone planes. The company is the largest US-based online seller of products by mail and other services. Now, the company has received a patent for its planned drone delivery system.In March, federal officials allowed Amazon to test its drone delivery plan. But even with apatent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear the company will put its new delivery system in place any time soon.The US Patent Office published the document, which describes Amazon’s plans to use GPS to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are. The drone will use a customer’s mobile device --- usually a smartphone ---to avoid hitting people or buildings and to find asecurearea to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes after people order them on its website.[Z+X+X+K]However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is worried about the safety. Although it allowed Amazon to test the system, the agency said the operators must be able to see the planes. That greatly limits the delivery area.Loretta Alkalay is a professor at the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. Although Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery, Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. She says there are worries that the drones will hit buildings or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or damaged by people on purpose. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “However, it is possible that homes will one day have special area on their roofs designed to receive product deliveries,” she adds.13.What is special about the new delivery system?A.It can deliver heavy products by plane.B.It uses planes without human operators.C.It can delivery many products at a time.D.It is much safer than other delivery ways.14.The underlined wor d “secure” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”.A.safe B.large C.special D.empty 15.After reading the passage, we can infer that FAA__________A.doesn’t really like AmazonB.totally support the drone delivery systemC.doesn’t think Amazon should get the pate ntD.doubts about the drone delivery system二、七选五A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy to understand. According to manypsychologists, a fear of heights is one of the only two natural fears — the other is the fear of loud noises. 16.If you are not afraid, you could walk too close to the edge and fall off. Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.17.They experience a intense fear even inside a safe environment such as a skyscraper, which is not an appropriate response and it is not helpful. 18.“As long as I can remember, I have had a powerful fear of heights. It can completely ruin a vacation. For example, when I was with friends in Paris, I became terrified while going up to the Eiffel Tower. I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation,”Adams said.Fortunately, having an irrational fear of heights can be corrected. 19.The most effective way seems to be getting the people to acknowledge their fears, for example, by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings, hike up steep mountains, or stand on a high bridge.20.When faced with a threatening situation, taking slow, deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flowing to muscles to keep from tensing up. If possible, a few minutes of meditation (深思) may be effective in relieving some tension.It is important to remember that an inappropriate fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.A.Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms. B.However, some people have an irrational (非理性的) and unhealthy fear of heights. C.One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights. D.There are a number of ways that can be achieved.E.John Adams, an English teacher, has an irrational fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.F.If you are on the edge of a cliff, it is useful to be a little afraid.G.Nearly everyone experiences some degree of anxiety when exposed to heights.三、完形填空阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从第1—20 各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

He was 47 and his family's company had just been taken over by a larger professional company.Sixteen years earlier, he made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds did woefully when planted in the hot tropics (热带). He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area wasn't suitable for these vegetable seeds which were developed for the moderate (温和的) climate of Europe and lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate.Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold well. Then they changed a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early successes led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. It is reported that the company's seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries, said Kenneth Quinn, the former U.S. ambassador to Vietnam.Of Groot, Quinn said, "He's a truly excellent person with worthy accomplishmentsthat should be recognized."The award was stated during a ceremony hosted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "The improvements made in these tropical vegetable seeds helped small farmers in developing nations produce more food and importantly get more income for themselves and their families," Pompeo said.6. Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize?A. Because he is the sixth generation of the Groot family.B. Because his family's company is a large professional company.C. Because he helped create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Africa.D. Because he introduced better vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries.7. What does the underlined word "woefully" in Para. 3 mean?A. Poorly.B. Well.C. Normally.D. Scientifically.8. What do you know about the East-West Seed Company?A. Its business is centered in central Asia.B. Its seeds have benefited many farmers a lot.C. It was started by Groot and local farmers.D. It is changing the seed industry around the world.9. Quinn thinks that ________.A. Groot doesn't care about the awardB. Groot deserves the awardC. Groot's contribution is of no valueD. Groot will donate his prize to poor farmers10. How did Pompeo think of the improvements made in tropical vegetable seeds?A. Positive.B. Doubtful.C. Interested.D. Confused.CMany people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties (关系) could improve brain health as we age.“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well realized,〞 said Rebecca, a profes sor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.〞While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart disease. Only smoking was as important a danger factor (因素) as having little social support.The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear. Wh ile friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,〞 said Karen,a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.〞11. The three studies in paragraph 2 show that ________.A. social ties have something to do with healthB. friends can help us lose weightC. old people need friends the mostD. having more friends makes us healthier12. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “obesity〞?A. healthB. unhappinessC. excitementD. fatness13. What do Rebecca’s words in paragraph3 mean?A. Friendship is more important to women than to men.B. What people need most is a friend’s care.C. The value of friendship hasn’t been fully understood.D. Friendship is more important than family relationship.14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Smoking and lack of friends are also risk factors for health.B. Friendship and family relationships have equal effects on health.C. Close friendships are good for women but not for men.D. It is clear why friendship has such a huge impact on health.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to keep healthy.B. The importance of doctors or self-help books.C. The relationship between friendship and health.D.
