A Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl(珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some housework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green! Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace?” “Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!” Jenny said.“But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.” A week later, her father once again asked Jenny for the necklace after her favorite story. “Oh, Daddy, not my necklace! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite.” “No, that’s okay, ”her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.” Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearl necklace and with the other he pulled out of his

18 届高二下学期入学测试英语试题卷第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ATwo of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else（否则）there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased( 停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. " In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread. "To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections ( memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.21.The underlined sentence "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread " means “”.A.Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB.Bread comes from the sweat on your faceC.Failure is the mother of successD. No pains, no gains22.We learn from the passage that the author .A.was a wealthy person in the communityB. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)C.held a positive attitude towards an active lifeD.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed23.What is implied in the passage by the writer?A.To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B.If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.C.As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D.Where there is a will, there is a way.BIt's such a happy-looking library,painted yellow,painted yellow,decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven,it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It's a library built with love.A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,"That's what we're going to do for our spring break!"Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn't see the point of building a library that resembles(与...相似) a mailbox.But Janey insisted.and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 5-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses,and made a door of glass.After adding the library's final touches( 装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front ,instructing users to"take a book,return a book",and making the Henriksen library,now one several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2 500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20or so books they'd already read,a mix of science fiction,reference.titles,novels and kids' favorites."I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,"said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.Since then,the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project's best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind."We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular."24..Janey got the idea to build a library from .A.a visit to Brian WilliamsB.a spring break with her familyC.a book sent by one of her neighborsD.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization25.The library was built .A.by a ship supply companyB.on the basis of toy horsesC.like a mailboxD.with glass26.What can we infer about the signboard?A It was made by a user of the library. B.It marked a final touch to the library.C It aimed at making the library last long.D It indicated the library was a family property.27.The passage tells us that the users .A.donate books to the libraryB.get paid to collect books for the libraryC receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD visit the library over 5 times on average dailyCYou may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. it was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration andill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.28.What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?A.His travel experience.B. His successful communication skills.C. Adventurous experiences in the front line.D. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.29.We can learn from the text that Moby Dick .A.sold a little better than Pierre.B. was Melville’s favorite novel.C. was copied from other books.D. made Melville popular again.30.The text may be taken from .A. a writing guideB. a literary(文学的) journal.C. a science magazine.D. a critical book on literature.31.What is the text mainly about?A. The main works of Melville.B. The skills in Melville’s writing.C. The ups and downs of Melville.D. The reason for Melville’s failure.DThe Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间)trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully( 恐吓)other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from schoolcomputers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with s ites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educat ing their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.32．Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A. At the teacher’s office.B. At the net bar.C. At the classroom.D. At home. 33．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean .A.some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sitesB.some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sitesC.some educators can’t connect social ne tworking sites easilyD.some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites 34．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.B.There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C.Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D.Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question. 35．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Lessons Online?B. Friendship Online?C.Dangers Online?D. Information Online?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。

ARestaurants in the USASteve’s PizzaSo many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients (成份). New branches of Steve’s are op ening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattleman’s SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.Opening hours: 5pm-10pmAbsolute Baking & CaféThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs--it’s made from scratch, as are the organic (有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fr esh carrot cake.Opening hours: 7am-2pmWalt’s WharfEverybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm1. The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly intended for.A. New YorkersB. touristsC. the localsD. foreigners2.

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spendmore time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. ―If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?‖ we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. ―The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,‖ she reasons. ―Students must learn now so they don’t forget wh en they grow up.‖ says the teacher.4. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.5. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.6. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students7. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.CThe H1Nl virus has been spreading worldwide，it is important for us to know how to control it．Please pay attention to the following points：1．Don’t touch your face．Above all，keep your hands away from your eyes，mouth and nose，all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body．2．Wash your hands．If you have to touch your face，wash your hands，getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water before．Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses．3．Cover your nose and mouth．When someone sneezes or coughs，liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air and land on your nose and mouth，so it’s best to keep at leas t an arm’s length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection(感染)．In order to protect others，cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze，and clean your hands afterward．Viruses can live for hours，or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards．4．Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future．Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of getting the flu viruses by as much as 80%．But it also suggests that if you don’t wash han ds，the mask doesn’t work well．So wash your hands and use the mask，especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also useful．8．The article mainly tells ________．A．the H1N1 virus has been spreading world-wideB．how to control the H1N1 virusC．cover your nose and mouthD．everyone should buy a mask in the future9. How does the virus enter your body easily?A．Get through your mouth．B．Get through your nose．C．Get through your eyes．D．All of the above．10. What can we do with the flu viruses?A．Water B．Masks C．Soaps with surfactants D．Tissues．11．Which of the statements is Not True?A．Wash your hands before meals．B．When you cough or sneeze，you should cover your mouthC．You shouldn’t often touch your mout h，eyes and nose．D．When you put a mask，you can often go to the crowded places．DGoing green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.12. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Celebrating Our Green Year.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Going Green.13. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because______.A. they needed to perform unusual green tasksB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they were expected to follow the green fad14. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.B. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.C. The couple may continue their project in the future.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

At least, some people think so.If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like theface of a man—what would he be like?He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are, he could not stay on the moon.The moon becomes very, very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very, very cold. It becomes colder than ice.Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there. He’d have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do. There’s no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds（grass）.If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters(火山口), of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.When you think of what it’s like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets.Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars.29. What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?A．The moon is beautiful.B．The moon is different from the earth.C．The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth.D．The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.30. The underlined word “rim” in the Paragraph 8 means _________.A．ball B．hill C．height D. round edge31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the earth.B. Traveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.C. There is some food and weeds on the moon, even though there’s no air.D. It is clearer to look at the stars through telescopes on the moon than on earth.32. What is the main thought of the passage?A. .A telescope on the Moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars.B. There may be human beings on the moon.C. If there were a man on the Moon, there would be many similarities between the man on theMoon and on the Earth.D. We can learn much from research on the MoonCAs societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.Now, it' s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets, for example, is to interview customers while they're doing their shopping. They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. It' s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touting the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.33. The text is designed for _______A. customersB. salesmenC. researchersD. mangers34. Which of the following can help managers get useful information?A. Visiting customers themselves.B. Giving customers free food on the street.C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets.35. What does the word "this" underlined in the last sentence refer to?A. Visiting Disneyland.B. Dressing up and walking around.C. Wearing attractive clothes.D. Acting Mickey Mouse.36. The main idea of the text is _________.A. how to do market researchB. how to develop marketing strategiesC. how to find out customers' social needsD. how to encourage customers to spend more moneyDThe need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation. In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.37. From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.A. much of the world's water is available for useB. people in high rainfall countries feel luckyC. water can be easily carried through pipes across the worldD. the costs of water redistribution should be considered38. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%.B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.C. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.D. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.39. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Steps to improving water use management.B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply.40. The text is mainly about________.A. water supply and increasing populationB. water use management and agricultureC. water redistribution and wildlife protectionD. water shortages and environmental protection第二节There is an English saying, "_____41_______." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body._____42_____.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. ______43_______. Laughter increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial._______44______. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. ______45_______.A. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making themsmile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughterB. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on thebody.C. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.D. Laughter is the best medicine.E. Laughter can prolong people’s life.F. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.G. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinicpractice.四、英语知识运用第一节：完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）Massive Open Online Courses are also called MOOCs.

2017-2018学年高二下学期开学考试英语试题含答案

高二英语开学考试试题（寒假作业过关检测题）(考试时间：120 分钟试卷总分：150 分)第一部分：阅读理解(满分30 分) 阅读下列短文，并从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

AI’m Evan Ducker. I’m just like every other 15-year-old boy, except I was born with a red birthmark.Some birthmarks are signs of serious medical conditions. I’m very fortunate—mine isn’t, I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get annoying (恼人的) sometimes.When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read to me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any available for little kids. Worse than that, the books available to older kids and adults described characters with birthmarks as unattractive. So I decided to write my own.I based the story on all the real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including red-footed booby birds (鲣鸟). I picked a booby bird as the main character because the birds have red feet due to a vascular (血管的) condition, similar to a human birthmark!It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused to publish it. They would say there wasn’t a big enough market for a book about birthmarks.But my mom never gave up trying to help make my dream come true. And in 2005, she finally took her own money and self-published Buddy Booby’s Birthmark. After it was published, I got letters from readers all over the world. They all shared their stories and thanked me for sharing mine. T eachers wrote to tell me that my book changed the way classmates treated each other and that my book was helping kids to accept and appreciate their differences.Then, as more teachers started reading my book, I created a free global reading event, the “International Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read—Along for T olerance and Awareness”.1.The author’s birthmark seems to .A.be easy to removeB. annoy him all the timeC. cause serious health problemsD. bring him some trouble2.What the author found in the library made him .A.regretfulB. disappointedC. stressedD. bored 3.What did the publishers think of the author’s book?A.It wouldn’t sell well.B. It was rather uninteresting.C. It was poorly written.D. It wasn’t fit for kids to read.4.The author’s book Buddy Booby’s Birthmark .A.was a best-seller in 2005B. was the first book about birthmarksC. made a difference to its readersD. helped kids all in love with readingBMy first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative (权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school she was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into myheart (使我但战心惊)，and everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class, I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. T ogether with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.T o everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to be my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. Truly, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not wantto run the risk of provoking (激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.5.During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was .A.proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded6.What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Win her favor.B. Embarrass her.C. Argue with her.D. Follow her closely.7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B. Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.8.What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph? A.She was dismissed form the school. B. She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.CStrong writing is one of the most important skills for any college student. Many non-native English speakers have no idea what professors in the U.S. expect from a college paper. A college paper is a piece of writing than can be as long as 20 or more pages. Even native English-speaking college students struggle with how to succeed with such a difficult responsibility.Deborah Dessaso is the Writing Resource Coordinator at the University of the District of Columbia. She says college writing is very different from what many students experience earlier in their education. Most U.S. high schools teach students how to write five paragraph essays. Students are often unprepared for the amount of research they have to do for a college paper.Nabila Hijazi is one of the assistant directors of the University of Maryland Writing Center. Hijazi is also an international student from Syria in the second year of her PhD program in English studies. She says the language barrier is not the biggest problem for students whose first language is not English.In a traditional paper, the first paragraph often contains the thesis statement. This statement is a one-sentence summary of the paper's main argument. The first paragraph of a college paper, or any paper, is usually the most challenging. The first paragraph is also the most important because it will guide the structure and show the voice of the entire paper. But not every type of writing is the same. There are also case studies and field reports in addition to traditional papers.Dessaso says that the best option for a student who wants improve their writing is to readReading examples of the type of paper your professor expects you to write can be very helpful. Professors sometimes provide examples. Y ou can also search the Internet for examples of papers about similar topics. But, you should never copy another person's work. Professors will find out if the work is copied and you will get in a lot of trouble.Hijazi also says that writing a paper takes time. Students should let other students read their work and listen to criticism.9.What do you know about a college paper?A.College students also call it a five-paragraph essay.B.It is easy for native English-speaking college students.C.It usually presents the theme in the first two paragraphs.D.The length of the paper is beyond expectation.10.According to Deborah Dessaso we can know that .A.American high school students do better in college writing.B.reading similar articles cam make you gain much bee internet benefit.C.your professor can give you clues on how to do your writing.D.surfing the Internet is an easy way to complete your writing.11.How did the author develop the passage?A.By making comparisonB. By giving explanationsC. By arising debatesD. By following time order12.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Taking Steps T owards a Great College PaperB. College Writing Makes Students StruggleC. Great Barriers Stand Before College StudentsD. Never Give up When Y ou Are WritingDIn the past 24 hours, I have been gifted with two amazing opportunities for kindness. The first happened yesterday. On my way home I saw a small dog running across the very busy street. He ran into the neighborhood, so I went off in search of him in hoping that I could reunite him with his owners. After a cat and mouse game, he finally decided I was worthy of at least a little of his trust and came close enough to me for me to grab him.After taking him to be scanned for a microchip, I learned that he had disappeared eight months ago from his owners who lived an hour and a half away. As I had some free time , I drove him back to his rightful owners. He and his human mommy were so glad to see each another! It gave me a good smile to end the year.This morning my family and I went to a friend’s home to help her get her things back in order. She was one of the unfortunate people whose home was recently destroyed by the Rowlett, TX tornado. Her home was a total loss. Our job today was to help her sort through the debris and find anything with actual value that she might want to take with her.My husband helped to move furniture and other things to storage while our younger children helped clean up the yard. By the time we were done today, there was no denying that the home had met with disaster, we had gone far to restore order from the chaos that had been there before.My thought in entering the day was that our friend, who had been having trouble sleeping, was being affected by that chaos more negatively.

It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course,” she said. “Can we write him a letter?”She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.” My heart jumped. “Can the mailman go there?” I asked.“No, but I have an idea.” Mum drove to a party store and ret urned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for. “Just wait, honey. You’ll see. ” Mum told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mum was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mum. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face. She made a hole in the corner of the letter to tie it to the balloon. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining. “Okay, on the count of three, let it go. One, two, three. ” The balloon, carrying my letter, flew upwards against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds. Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had neverlet his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d keep on, fly up, and finally go beyond this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.21. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother __________ .A. believed it was easy to do itB. felt it difficult to answerC. considered her a creative girlD. decided to make up a lie at once22. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she __________ .A. became excitedB. jumped with joyC. started writing immediatelyD. didn’t believe her mother23. In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?A. An incurable disease.B. Her unforgettable memory.C. The pain her mother suffered.D. The hard time her father had.24. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Fly to HeavenC. The Strong Red BalloonD. A Great FatherBMyth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this makes your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结成块) within a minute or two”, suggests Dr. Izenberg.25. The length of your hair is determined by ________.A. cutting it oftenB. your geneC. the food you eatD. clearing up the dead split ends.26. According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________.A. help you lose weight fastB. help you lose weight slowlyC. cause you to become fatterD. make you burning food more quickly27. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow in a few days later.D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situationCWhat’s the most important thing in life?People’s answers vary greatly. F or British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. “Nothing is more special than a child,” he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology---more commonly known as “test-tube (试管) baby” technology---passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child,” said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. “He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD ingenetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as “scary”, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US. Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. “People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature,” Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.“But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing,” said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body. The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people’s safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children. “IVF had moved from vision to reali ty and a new era in medicine had begun,” BBC commented.Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other “test-tube: children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth II the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. “He is like a granddad to me,” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.28. What’s the article mainly about?A. The first test-tube baby.B. A new era in medicine.C. The inventor of IVF technology.D. The changes IVF technology has brought.29. The writer quoted Peter Braude to .A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workB. describe what kind of person Edwards wasC. explain why he is loved by all childrenD. comment on his achievement30. The underlined word “opposition” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “”.A. attackB. supportC. testD. influence31. What is the correct order of events in Edwards’ life?a. He received a Nobel Prize.b. He struggled to raise funds.c. The first test-tube baby was born.d. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.e. He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.f. He started his experiments on IVF technology.A. f-e-b-c-a- dB. f-b-e-c-d-aC. f-b-e-c-a-dD. f-e-d-a-c-bDThe world’s richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he saidThis isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this proble m,” he said.32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Interview with Bill GatesB. How Bill Gates SucceededC. Bill Gates’ RegretD. The Richest Billionaire33. The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.A. it is important to lay a good foundation of lifeB. food and clothing are basic needs for people’s lifeC. he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothesD. he never cares about buying food and clothing34. What advice did Bill Gates give?A. Avoid staying up too late.B. Be a good language learner.C. Do the dishes yourself at home.D. Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Bill Gates is also the founder of FacebookB. Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.C.

学2017-2018学年高二英语下学期开学考试试题（时间：120分钟总分：150分Ⅰ卷交答题卡，Ⅱ卷交答题纸）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）第一节: （共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper Dear editor,I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunatel y, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that student s have different interests and abilities. I understand that grade s are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for be tter grades causes many students to turn down opportunities t o pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitra ry (武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. Howe ver, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grad es. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Villag e High School.Magdalena SmithDrama ClubDear editor,I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts ab out grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grade s motivate students to work at their highest level of competen ce. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students an d as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measur e student achievement. Good grades help students to get job s and to get into university. I’ve spoken with a number of stud ents who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hire d primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think g rades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club1. Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students’ creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should be taken away at once.D. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success .2. We can learn Simon Harper __________.A. is concerned about students’ creativityB. believes in the benefits of good gradesC. doesn’t work too hard at his studiesD. supports studen ts’ interests and abilities3. From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a /an __________.A. teacherB. headmasterC. advertiserD. stude ntBThere is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gai ned a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no lon ger be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he re alized that he still had partial function of his right hand and co uld still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurre d to him, “Why not write to other people who need encourage ment?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoner s is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his lett ers. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encourage ment. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability t o the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and sh ared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hop e of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison mini stry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and ch ecked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall t o pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have u nique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who des perately need messages of encouragement and strength.4. Before the man had the accident, he __________.A. had visited local prisonsB. had toured around the worldC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been f riends with the prison minister5. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ____ ____.A. write to other people who needed encouragementB. rec eive the school educationC. meet the people who were depressedD. help other p eople who lost arms and legs6. From the officer’s short note we are told that __________.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. his letters were very popular among the prisonersD. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Humorous PersonB. Popularit y of Special LettersC. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersD. Special Le tters of EncouragementCFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelin gs, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a col d-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get c old feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expressi on means being afraid to do something you have decided to d o. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, an d all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. Y ou are likely to get cold feet about being president when you u nderstand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably co mes from the physical act of turning your back toward someo ne, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a c old shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made t o you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who i s a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several po pular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of thei r lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody el se got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay r aise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.8.When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a dista nt way, you may express by “____”.A.I give him the cold shoulderB.I think he is a cold fishC.I think he is a cold-blooded man D.I’m likely to get cold feet9.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.A.she is out in the coldB.she is a cold fishC.she is a cold-blooded killer D.she gets cold feet10.We can use the expression “__________” to describe a ma n who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A.cold feetB.cold shoulderC.cold-bloodedD.cold-hearted11.The topic of this passage is about _________.A.some expressions about friendshipB. how cold weather comes into beingC.the relationship between cold and our bodyD.some expre ssions connected with coldDThe Carnival of Brazil is an annual festival held 46 days befor e Easter, especially famous for the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the festiva l of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to regret an d prepare for Christ’s death and coming back to life. Modern Brazilian Carnival dates back to Rio de Janeiro in 164 1. It originally copied the European form of the festival, later ta king in elements of Native American and African cultures.In the late 19th century, the strings (弦乐器) were introduced in Rio de Janeiro. These were pageant (游行) groups that paraded through city avenues performing on i nstruments and dancing. Today they are known as blocks, co nsisting of a group of people who dress in costumes or specia l T-shirts with themes or logos. Blocks are generally connected w ith particular neighborhoods; they include both a music group and a lot of revelers(狂欢者).Block parades have become an expressive feature of Rio’s C arnival. Today, they number more than 100 and the groups in crease each year. Blocks can be formed by small or large gro ups of revelers with a clear title. Before the show, they gather in a square, then parade in sections of the city, often near the beach. Carnival time in Rio is very interesting, but is also the most expensive time to visit Rio. Hotel rooms and other lodgin gs (住宿) can be up to four times more expensive than the regular r ates. There are big crowds at some locations and life is far fro m ordinary in many parts of town.12.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The Carnival of Brazil is often held after Easter.B. The Carnival of Brazil comes from Easter and Saturnalia.C. The Carnival of Brazil is mainly to celebrate the birth of C hrist.D. The Carnival of Brazil is a festival to regret and begin a ne w life.13.How long is the history of the people’s celebrating modern Brazilian Carnival?A. About 100 years.B. Less than two centuries.C. Over five centuries.D. About 370 years.14.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that_______A. block parades become bigger and bigger.B. block parades can only be formed by big groups of revele rs.C. the theme of blocks must be serious.D. blocks always parade only on the beach15.What is the passage mainly about?A. The famous carnivals in the world.B. How the carnival w as introduced in Brazil.C. The happy life of the people in Rio de Janeiro.D.
