2023-2024学年上海市育才中学高二上学期期末英语试卷Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.City streets are littered with all kinds of refuse. On just about every street and sidewalk, one can find old newspaper, crushed cans, food wrappers, and discarded cigarettes, not to mention blobs (斑点) of old chewing gum 1 (stick) on walls, street poles, and on the ground. Of all these, gum is one of the hardest things to clean up.In its attempt 2 (clean) discarded gum off the streets and sidewalks, the authorities in London have tried everything from tools that shoot high-pressure water and steam to various kinds of chemicals 3 dissolve the gum. But nothing seems to work. The streets 4 (dot) with unattractive blobs of the stuff. Or at least they were unattractive 5 Ben Wilson came along.Ben Wilson is an artist on a mission. He wants to make good use of 6 others have thrown away and no one else wants: old chewing gum. When Mr. Wilson finds gum on the ground, down he goes with his painting supplies and sets out to create a work of art. He uses the discarded blobs of old gum 7 canvases (画布) for his mini paintings. After finishing a work, Mr. Wilson takes a picture of 8 for his archive.9 (paint) all the gum on the streets of London could be a never-ending task for Ben Wilson. On a single street like High Street Barnet, it took him more than one month to paint all of the gum that he found in just three blocks. And new canvases are being spit out every day on streets. But he does not seem worried. As he told a reporter in one interview, “I’m just going to keep painting and see 10 the e nthusiasm takes me.”Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. harvestB. expressedC. nutrientD. foundationE. emergingF. tragedyG. strategy H. endure I. overcome J. glorious K. ceasingFrom the golden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant Palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take care. In more recent times, this truth has been 11 as: April showers bring May flowers. This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life 12 from death.Farmers all over the world know importance and immutability(不变) of the seasons. They know there is a season to plant and a season to 13 ; everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness(无情), 14 all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the 15 substance his crops need to grow and florish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the 16 flowers in the month of May.But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience 17 in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the 18 of a wonderful future. Everything has its place.Remember this: overwhelming darkness may 19 for a night; yet the radiant light of the morning will never be 20 . When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner.She wants to be a singer; you think she should go for a long-term career with job security and eventually retire with a good pension. But a new report suggests that in fact she’s the practical one. Why do parents make terrible careers _______?Today’s 14 a nd 15-year-olds are _______.

Although 80% of them have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps, 69% still _______ their parents for advice. They look at their working future in a different way to their parents. A job for life is not in their vocabulary; neither is a dead-end but secure job that is _______ but pays the bills.In the past, this might have counted as bad news. Certainly when I was 15, my guidance counselors were horrified at my plans to become a writer. I’m glad I didn’t change my plans to suit them. But the world has changed. The global economy is not _______ to yesterday’s diligent and dependable worker. The future belongs to quick-thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and can take the initiative. This means it is not _______ being unrealistic that a 14-year-old sees her working future as a kind of _______ to be made up as she goes along._______, she has to have the training and guidan ce to help her develop the right skills for today’s market. Many young people ________ that redundancy (冗余), downsizing (裁员) and freelancing (自由职业) are all part of modern working life, but no one is telling them how they might be able to turn the new rules of the ________ game to their advantage.

Our parents were friends, so we would sometimes play together, biking past the tree-lined streets to Jefferson Park, the leisure spot of our neighborhood.I always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up. It could be that she was both cool and gorgeous with the pink T-shirt featuring a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. Or it could be the way she biked, standing up, her arms locked as she leaned above the handle bars.At the time, I fancied myself an inventor and I told Margo about an idea I had for an invention called the Ringolator, a gigantic cannon that would shoot big, colored rocks into a very low orbit, giving Earth the same rings that Saturn (土星) has. Margo just beamed brightly, shaking her head.I’d been in the park so many times before that it was mapped in my mind, so we were only a few steps inside when I began to sense that the world was out of order.“Look! There.” Margo said quietly, calmly.She was pointing. And then I realized what was different.There was a live oak a few feet ahead. Thick and ancient-looking. That was not new. The playground on our right. Not new either. But now, a guy wearing a gray suit, leaning against the trunk of the oak tree, not moving. That was new. He kept his mouth open in a way that mouth generally shouldn’t be.“He’s drunk,” I said, “and dangerously drunk.”I took two small steps backward. Maybe he was a zombie. I knew zombies weren’t real, but he surely looked like one. And if I made any sudden movements, he might wake up and attack.As I took those two steps back, Margo took two equally small and quiet steps forward. “His eyes are open,” she said.“We gotta go home,” I said.She took another two steps. This time she was close enough and she reached out to touch his foot. “He’s gone,” Margo said, as if I couldn’t tell.(Fr om “Paper Towns” by John Green with major adaption) 36. Why the author “always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up”?A．He was afraid that Margo might give him a lesson physically.B．He felt that Margo’s way of riding a bike could put them both in danger.C．He had admiration for the cool and gorgeous appearance and action of Margo.D．He didn’t like the horrifying green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter.37. How does Margo feel about the author’s invention of a “Ringolator”?A．It was a brilliant idea that may change the world.B．It sounded silly yet amusing, so she showed her kindness.C．It called for experiment in the Jefferson Park.D．It gave out beams of light and was bright.38. What happened to the man most probably?A．He was playing hide and seek. B．He was a new comer to the park.C．He was already dead when found. D．He was becoming a zombie39. What can best describe Margo?A．Gorgeous and timid. B．Innocent and cute. C．Bright and imaginative. D．Calm and brave.ROCKET TO SPACEby Diego Ramirez -Astronaut’s life inspaceship -Two months from launch to landing-Learn about Careers in SpaceWas $39.95Now $19.95 PETby Kitty Wolfe -Quiz: what pet are you mostcomfortable with? -Compare characters and kinds of cats and dogsHalf price: Now only $15ICY JOURNEYby Same Mcgee -Explorers’ Arcticadventures to the south Pole -Remarkable achievements of fifteen brave men-839 pages for only $12.50 HANDIWORK MAKE-Published 6 times a year-$22.50 for six books-Make money with dolls-Create baskets from cloth, wood, and feathers-Make international suits and blankets by hand40.

Rosie is a high school student interested in adventures and has two pet dogs. At present, she is eager to earn some money for her university education. Which of the following books will you recommend to her?A．Pet B．Handiwork MakeC．Rocket to Space D．Icy JourneyA study by French researchers that was published last month in the Journal Animal Cognition found that not only do cats react to what scientists call cat-directed speech ---- a high-pitched voice similar to how we talk to babies ---- they react to who is doing the talking“We found that when cats heard their own ers using a high-pitched voice, they reacted more than when they heard their owner speaking normally to another human adult,” said Charlotte de Mouzon, an author of the study and cat behavior expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But what was very surp rising in our results was that it actually didn’t work when it came from a stranger’s voice.”Unlike with dogs, cat behavior is difficult to study, which is part of why humans understand them less. Cats are often so stressed by being in a lab that meaningful behavioral observations become impossible. And forget about trying to get a cat to sit still for an M.R.I. scan to study its brain function.So the researchers for the latest study went to the cats’ homes and played recordings of different types of speech and different speakers. At first, Dr. de Mouzon and her team were worried that the cats weren’t reacting at all. But then they studied film recordings of the encounters. “Their reactions were very subtle,” Dr. de Mouzon said. “It could be just moving an ear or turning the head towards the speaker or even freezing what they were doing.”In a few cases, the cats in the study would approach the speaker playing a voice and meow. “In the end, we had really clear gains in the cat’s attention when the owner was using cat-directed speech,” Dr. de Mouzon said.The findings showed that “cats are paying close attention to their caretakers, down to not only what they are saying, but how they are saying it,” said Kristyn Vitale, an assistant professor of animal health an behavior at Unity College in Maine who was not involved in the new study.The new study complements Dr. Vitale’s own research into relationships between a cat and its owner. This relationship is so important, Dr. Vitale’s research has found, that it re plicates (复制) the connection between a kitten and its mother. “It is possible that attachment behaviors originally intended for interactions with their mother have now been modified for interactions with their new caretakers, humans.”“For years, scientists didn’t ask the right questions about cats,” Dr. de Mouzon said. Now those who are convinced of the X of cats won’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats don’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a growing body of work supports the idea that social interaction with humans is key in the life of a cat.”43. What kind of voice will attract ca ts’ attention most according to the article?A．Their owners’ ordinary voice.B．A high-pitched voice from a baby.C．A high-pitched voice from a stranger. D．The cat-directed speech from theirowners.44. What does the underlined “X” in last paragraph proba bly stand for?A．disloyalty B．cuteness C．naughtiness D．enthusiasm45. Which of the following can be inferred from the article?A．Cats pay as much attention to their owners as dogs do.B．A cat’s attachment to its owner probably resembles that to its mother.C．People understand dogs more than cats because the former are more loyal.D．Many believe and appreciate the fact that cats are somewhat indifferent to humans.46. What is the passage mainly about?A．The social interaction between cats and human s is important to cats’ life.B．Those convinced that cats are cold disapprove of the opposing evidence.C．Cats actually pay close attention to their owners when treated properly.D．Cats actually treat their owners in a similar way as they treat their mothers.Writing a film review needs your patience to watch a film with a critical eye, recognize all the information about it and then write a detailed film review. 47 A good review is not just a summary of a movie, but a critical analysis that examines why and how a movie works and whether the film succeeds in its presentation.When writing a film review, always consider who the intended audience is for the film and the audience you are writing for. 48 Additionally, it should show clearly that you not only viewed the movie, but also read the novel or play which formed the basis of the movie.You should focus your review around a large argument, such as why the film works or fails to work and what are both the successful and unsuccessful elements. 49 A good film review uses scenes and dialogue from the film to support its larger argument. Moreover, a good review focuses on whether and how a movie works and whether the reviewer recommends it. Finally, a good reviewer shows how a movie works psychologically, emotionally, intellectually and even spiritually.50 Watch a film with a critical eye. Always include information on the director, main characters, the historical period used in this film, editing and camera work. Write an outline and a thesis statement for your film review. Be creative and hardworking so that you can have chances of a good grade.If someone you know asks you nosy（爱管闲事的）questions, then you are not obliged to answer if you don’t want to. Here it is more important that you have some polite brush-off（拒绝）, but it is still not rude for you to refuse.If you think they shouldn’t have asked the question like “How much money do you earn?”， then I strongly recommend looking very shocked and saying “I can’t believe you just asked me that!” and either leaving them to get out of it or moving on yourself to another subject. If they try to press you by saying “I was just interested…” Then you can keep the shocked look and say “I’m not telling you that with as much emphasis as you like on the‘you’.”But what if the question isn’t quite so unforgivable? Then you need a more smiling response: “I can’t possibly tell you that” or “I’m not telling anyone that” or “Wouldn’t you like to know?” But you must stand firm, because otherwise they’ll never learn and will keep expecting you to tell them your innermost secrets. There is certainly never any need to tell your secrets just because someone else told theirs.There are questions that seem perfectly reasonable—“Are you planning to move?” , “Are you going to go back to work?” , “Are you going on holiday this year?”—but if answered truthfully might lead to unexpected revelations of something bad. Here you a re free to tell white lies and say “We don’t know/haven’t decided yet/haven’t really thought about it”. Looking vague and changing the subject is the key here. If the question was reasonable, then it’s polite to embarrass the asker as little as possible—they were probably only making conversation in the firstplace.____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________52. 这是一本如此好的小说，不同的读者可以和里面不同的人物产生共鸣。

What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To assess new writers. B．To promote a program.C．To compare different projects. D．To introduce the best publisher.In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walki ng in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.”At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.”Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a be ginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class wh o was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says.In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where fourpeople attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK.14. How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom?A．Curious. B．Disappointed. C．Confident. D．Frightened.15. After two years of practice, Warrack ________.A．grew more patient B．turned into a better selfC．realized her full potential D．became aware of her weakness16. In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________.A．polish her skills further B．improve her coordinationC．avoid hurting the attackers D．seek support from her family17. What can we learn from this passage?A．With age comes wisdom. B．The greatest wealth is health.C．It’s always a good time to learn.D．Compete with honor and win with grace. Our travels are not limited to physical time. We also experience mental time travel. We visit the past through our memories and then journey into the future by imagining what tomorrow or next year might bring. When we do so, we think of ourselves as we are now, remember who we once were and envision how we will be.A recent study explores how one particular brain region helps to knit together memories of the present and future selves. When people sustain an injury to this area, it leads to a damaged sense of identity. The region, called vmPFC, may produce a fundamental model of the person and place it in mental time. When the region does so, it may be the source of our sense of self. It’s also found that memories that reference the self are easier to recall. They benefit from what researchers have called a self-reference effect.In the study, the researchers used the self-reference effect to assess memories of present and future selves among people who had brain lesions (损伤) to the vmPFC. The scientists worked with people with vmPFC lesions, then compared them with a control group made up of people with injuries to other parts of the brain and healthy individuals. They were asked to list adjectives to describe themselves and a celebrity, both in the present and future. Later, they had to recall these same traits. It was discovered that people in the control group could recall more adjectives linked to themselves than adjectives linked to the celebrity. However, the participants with vmPFC lesions had little or no ability to recall references to the self, regardless of the context of time. Their identification of adjectives for celebrities was also comparatively weak.These findings are intriguing, for the study helps us understand how self-related memories depend on the function of the vmPFC. But what about our past selves? Previous studies asked people to consider their past selves, but there was no evidence of the self-reference effect. Our past selves seem foreign to us, as if they were individuals apart from us.One idea that scientists have put forward to understand this distinction is that perhaps we are not very kind in our judgments of our past selves. Instead we may be rather critical of our previous behavior, emotions and personal traits. We may use our past primarily to construct a more positive self-image in the present. Put another way, because we may recognize flaws (瑕疵) in our past self’s behavior, we tend to distance ourselves from the person we once were.Therefore, bringing the present and future into the spotlight is central to understanding the way our brain and thoughts shape our current selves. And with the research, we have a better idea about the way a small region within our brain is able to build and hold the core ability to maintain our identity.18. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．people with vmPFC lesions have a broken sense of identityB．vmPFC-injured people recall celebrities better than others doC．the self-reference effect plays a vital role in considering past selfD．people tend to accept past self after realizing their previous faults19. As for the findings of the recent study on vmPFC, the author is ________.A．critical B．doubtful C．approving D．unconcerned20. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Testing Our Memories B．Creating Our Sense of SelfC．The Power of Self-Reference Effect D．The Importance of Mental Time Travel With its 1.2 million LED lights shining brightly against the Las Vegas night, the Las Vegas Sphere may well be the ultimate symbol of 2020s overuse. But that gigantic entertainment space is alsosomething else: a symbol of the coming conflict between our climate goals and our seemingly insatiable (永不满足) appetite for stuff.In the 1990s, multicolor LED lights were invented to prevent climate disasters by greatly reducing the amount of electricity we use. After all, LED lights use 90 percent less energy and last around 18 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯). Yet the amount of electricity we consume for light globally is roughly the same today as it was in 2010. That’s partly because of population and economic growth in the developing world. But another big reason is that as technology has advanced, we’ve only grown more wasteful.There’s an economic term for this: the Jevons Paradox, named for the 19th-century English economist William Stanley Jevons, who noticed that as steam engines became ever more efficient, Britain’s appetite for coal increased rather than decreased. The logic of Jev ons is that instead of banking the efficiency savings we make as technology advances, we go out and spend it.Today, you can see examples of the Paradox everywhere. When residents in England installed home insulation, their overall heating energy demand soon rebounded, ending up at about the same level as it was before: The residents had apparently chosen to turn up their thermostats (温控器) and live in warmer homes.The good news is that in some cases the efficiency gains are so great that even our insatiable appetite for new stuff cannot completely negate them. Today’s car engines require less fuel, even though Americans on average now drive longer distances in heavier cars. However, the bad news is that the Jevons Paradox seems to be hard-wired into us. There are few examples throughout history of people willingly consuming less energy, either for moral or environmental reasons.For some, the solution is obvious: Governments must do more to limit our energy use, perhaps through regulations or taxes. A global carbon tax would help—though the chances of establishing one remain slim. A more innovative answer comes from Rob West, founder and chief executive of Thunder Said Energy. Having spent years documenting the Jevons Paradox and finding it far more widespread than economists predicted, he thinks the best hope we have is to fight Jevons with Jevons. That means applying the idea that consumption increases as goods become cheaper and more efficient to our production of energy. In other words, the future lies not in rationing (定量供应) energy and hoping humans suddenly change their behavior, but in ensuring any energy we use is as green and attractive as possible.21. Why does the author mention the Las Vegas Sphere?A．To highlight a space. B．To predict an ending.C．To provide a solution. D．To express a concern.22. What does the underlined word “negate” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Put off. B．Break down. C．Push up. D．Wipe out.23. What can we learn from the passage?A．The Jevons Paradox requires more examples.B．Environmental awareness is hard-wired in humans.C．Energy consumption grows as technology advances.D．Efficiency gains guarantee the realization of climate goals.24. Which of the following statements would Rob West most probably agree with?A．The solution is always to further energy efficiency.B．A global carbon tax has aided in limiting energy use.C．Humans are eager to change their consumption behavior.D．Economists have overestimated the effect of the Jevons Paradox.Highly sensitive person, or HSP, is a term coined by psychologist Elaine Aron. According to research, in every five people, there’s one HSP. 25 HSPs have strong self-consciousness; they may struggle to adapt to new circumstances, demonstrate seemingly inappropriate emotional responses in social situations, and easily become uncomfortable in response to light, sound or certain physical sensations. 26The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟缓的) power”. Usually, people associate “insensitivity” with something bad, but insensitivity does not equal dullness. 27 That is, calmly facing the setbacks and downtime in life and firmly moving towards one’s own direction. It is the “means and wisdom to win a better life”, as a Japanese author wr ites in the book The Power of Insensitivity. According to him, the world will be better if we focus on the major goals and stay insensitive to anything else.28 One of the important reasons is that behind insensitivity is strong self-awareness or self-confidence. Knowing yourself is difficult, but knowing yourself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability. One of the qualities shared by many successful people is: they all clearly know where their strengths are, what they want, and what direction to go.To practice insensitivity, the first step is to avoid overthinking. Resist the urge to overanalyze situations, and redirect your focus towards actionable steps within your control. Secondly, don’t pay too much attention to the ups and downs of life at the moment. Rather, you should be looking forward. Additionally, set clear boundaries. 29 Remember not to get too involved in other people’s business and set limits that keep you safe from outside pressures.As a unique wisdom of life, the power of insensitivity gives completely new inspiration to modern people. Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.annoy, warn, drama, intelligent, emotion30. In recent years, you may have read news about artificial ____________ creating its own art, such us painting.31. Pets are often the ones who provide ____________ support for the family.32.

It is extremely hard sometime to say a simple thing like ‘ I was wrong about that. ’ and it is even harder to say “ I was wrong ,but you were right s1SovAcVQM aboutthat. ”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistakefifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in theneighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（纸板盒） . Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely(模糊地 ) the incidenthe was describing.GXRw1kFW5sI was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place UTREx49Xj9.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放 ) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work8PQN3NDYyP.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it looked as though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not mLPVzx7ZNw.56. How old was the author when he wrote this article?AHP35hB02dA. About 8B. About 18.C. About 23.D. About 15 NDOcB141gT57.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by themanager.1zOk7Ly2vAB.The author was severely criticized by the manager fuNsDv23Kh.C.A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons tqMB9ew4YX.D.It was the author who put the display back together HmMJFY05dE.58. The tone of the article expressed the author’ViLRaIt6sk_________.A. admiration for the manager’ s willingness to admitstakesmi9eK0GsX7H1B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation指.(责，斥责 )naK8ccr8VIC. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons B6JgIVV9aoD. regret for the mistake he made in the store.BOne of the most important lessons I ’ ve learned from raising a family in a foreign countryis that the generation gap is sometimes just a matter of language P2IpeFpap5.I am an American living with six children in Israel. Our children speak Hebrew, Arabic. I canspeak a bit of Hebrew and a little Arabic. The gap between us, therefore, is not a matter of age,sports heroes, or musical tastes. It is simply my lack of ability to master languages that theypicked up in no time. To our kids, I will forever be the foreigner, the greenhorn3YIxKpScDM.I remember one of my most amusing mistakes that I made one bright and early school-day morning. A school friend had slept over, and everyone was eating breakfast, I cheerfully asked the boy what I could give him for his lunch gUHFg9mdSs.“ What about some fruit?” I asked.“ How about some rocks with your uQHOMTQe79lunch?”“ Mommy!” The kids all shouted in horror.“ Mommmmmmy!IMGWiDkflPI had wanted to say“ anavim” , which are grapes(葡萄)in Hebrew. Instead I said“ avanim”-----plain, ordinary rocks.WHF4OmOgAwTo this day, my children remind me again and again of the countless mistakes I made. Ata school meeting, I told the father of one of their friends that I ’ d sat on top of his wi before, when I meant to say thatI ’ d sat next to her. Languages always provide opportunities for foreign speakers to please natives aDFdk6hhPd.I find my language mistakes entertaining at times, and they’ ve never stopped me fro trying to make conversation. On a family outing the other day, we stopped to buy fresh pitafrom an Arab woman. I spoke to the woman in a mixture of Arabic and Hebrew and thenwe stood with her, eating the warm freshly baked pita. After we finished, I called out,“ Shookran”-“ thank you, ” in Arabic---and we drove away.ozElQQLi4T“ That was fun. ” said my-ear16-old son， Ari.-year”my-old14daughter, Amalia, said.“ Why do “ And she gave me extra pita for free!you think she did that? CvDtmAfjiA”“ Because we were friendly and made an effort to talk to her,said.QrDCRkJkxh” IFor once, my kids did not even point out any of the errors I had made as I spoke to the woman.4nCKn3dlMX59. The kids shouted when their mother used the word “ avanim”because ijCSTNGm0E______.A. they always regarded their mother as a foreigner vfB1pxanfkB. she misused the word for a kind of fruit as the one for rocks JbA9VhEou1C. their mother only gave grapes to one childD. one of the kids got up late60. Why didn ’ t the kids point out their mother’ s mistakesshespokewhilewith an Arab woman? X7Ahr18pJIA. Their mother’ s conversation with the Arab woman brought a good result b3zqXLCqXo.B. They used to their mother’ s language errors.C. They were moved by the Arab woman.D. They were pleased with the delicious meal.61.What would be the best title of this passage?A.How to Learn Foreign LanguagesB.How to Live AbroadC.Sometimes It ’s just WordsD.My Boring ChildrenCMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, butI also explain that there’ s a big difference between“ being a writer” and“ writing cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “ You’ ve got to want to write,” I say to them,“ not want pZyytu5rc5tobe a writer.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writerkissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What Idid have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn ’ even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer andfelt a real writer. DVyGZezsrMAfter a year or so, however, I still hadn’ t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I haddreamed about it for years. I wasn’ t begoingonetof those people who die wondering. Whatif? I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn tolive there.RQxPvY3tFs62.The passage is meant to _______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience5MxX1IxuU9B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer jIw5xs0v9PC.show young people it ’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame xEve2buwnwD.encourage young people to be after a writer career KAvmyVYxCd63.What can be concluded from the passage?Ａ.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding Ywuu4FszRT.B.Writer ’s success depends on luck rather than on effort cstDApWA6A.C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation隔.(离 )qotL69pBkhD.The chances for a writer to become successful are small EksTCSTCzX.64.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writingcareer?Sgs28CnDOEA.

高中英语高考听力特点及对策分析
- 125 -校园英语 / 基础教育高中英语高考听力特点及对策分析宁夏育才中学/张硕【摘要】近几年，高考听力仍然是考察的重头戏，分值占总分近五分之一的比例。
高考英语听力作为高考英语试卷的重要构成部分，它要求考生能够在有限的时间内根据所听到的内容及时做出反应和选择，在考验考生听力能力的同时，也在检验学生整体的学习效果。
【关键词】高中英语 高考听力 特点分析 对策英语的听力理解是高中英语的一个重点课题，同时是学生在学习时的一个重要挑战，它对日后英语学习中的口语、阅读以及写作能力都有着直接的影响。
提高英语听力水平有助于提高英语整体水平，是新教育体制改革下英语教学的必然选择，也是英语整体教学的重要目标之一。
本文针对高考英语听力的特点进行了深入性探究，并且提出了相应的解决对策。
一、对于高考英语听力特点及学情的分析高考听力相对于日常练习的英语听力而言，更具有严谨性与专业性。
在24个日常话题中比较容易出现的如：人际交往关系、天气状况、日常生活的体现、时间、文艺与体育类知识、热门话题等等。
例如：今年(2016)宁夏新课标高考英语卷听力部分第二题：What is the weather like now?A.It ’s sunny. B.It ’s rainy C.It ’s cloudy.这道题主要以天气为疑点。
再例如今年(2016)宁夏新课标高考英语听力部分第一题：What will Lucy do at 11:30 tomorrow? A. Go out for lunch. B. See her dentist. C. Visit a friend.这道题则以日常生活为主轴线出题。
以上两个例子就是以传统的话题为听力命题。
下面对高考英语听力特点以及学生在学习中存在的问题进行相关的分析：1.关于语言知识。
第一，口语发音方面的难点。
首先，在高考英语听力中音节相近的发音使学生难以辨别，例如音标/l/与/n/的发音，学生容易分辩不清长音和短音。
