AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artis ts on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an e xhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there i s a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the researc h and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge Univer sity.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant pro duces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant m ore commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on inse cts and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and dr unkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about t he pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of tim e walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fi elds. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experie nce and on the way home you can drop into the village for aft ernoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it fro m Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim i n the same pool.1.The main idea of the passage is __________.A. interesting stories of Lord. ByronB. an approach to becoming creative in artC. the colorful life in the countrysideD. some places for weekend break2.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you’d better go to__________ .A. Byron’s PoolB. the Botanic GardenC. King’s Art CentreD. Cambridgeshire3.According to the passage, the following statements are wro ng except __________.A. There is a small charge for attending the masters’ classB. Byron liked swimming naked in the lakeC. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bearsD. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals4.The autho r’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show__________ .A. she was a famous writerB. she was fond of swimmingC. she was Byron’s admirerD. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant placeBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided t o visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advi ce about how to find accommodation . I suggested that they s hould stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of place gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they cam e back with some funny stories“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “b ecause we found most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had h appened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VA CANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘h olidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where thesign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means the re are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the s ign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. B ut they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends mad e in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ m eans fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVER SION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fu n. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, wh en someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”5. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car6. ‘NO VACANCIES’ in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holid ayD. holidays7. When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them t o take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to expr ess my politeness8. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away becau se I ______.A. hadn’t finished drinking my coffeeB. was expecting another cup of coffeeC. meant that I didn’t want any moreD. was never mis understoodCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choic e for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打盹)—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains moremelatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, ac cording to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Fo od.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice t o sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has n ot been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellen t for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which help s people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the bes t choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat yo u take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk______ _.A. were more anxiousB. woke up laterC. were less activeD. started sleep more easily10. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It’s used in sleeping drugs.C. It can make people more energetic.D. It exists in milk in great amount.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Milk Drinking and HealthB. An Experiment on MiceC. Fat, Sugar and HealthD. Night Milk and SleepDParents have to do much less for their children today than the y used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food c an be bought, cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the rest aurant，the worker’s canteen，and the school dining-room. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other emplo yment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Nowadays boys are seldom train ed to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employm en t and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile（纺织物） areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out t o work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more th an doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant（占主导的） figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. W hen mother works, economic advantages increasing，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employ ment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.12. The writer mentions home as workshop in the past becau se______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity by themselv esC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are worker s13. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow th eir father’s occupation is that ____.A. children rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. fathers do not like to pursue employment at homeC. there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. children also like to have jobs and earn money outsid e14. What makes father no longer the only dominant person ina family?A. Mother’s and children’s earning enable them not just to depend on father for life.B. There are many choices of employment for mothersand children nowadays.C. Father does much less for his children and earn muc h less today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has in creased greatly now.15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the change at home ?A. Unacceptable.B. Worried.C. Unconcerned.D. In terested.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。

2016-2017学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷(解析版)
2016-2017学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷（解析版）一、阅读理解1、阅读理解Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English. Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic. But remember to work in a way that suits you. It's important to lea rn from past mistakes as well. Keep a notebook to make a rec ord of the mistakes you make－it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.The time of life may be hard，but you're not alone. You may be busy studying，but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages. Don't let your friendships die.It's as important to live well as it is to study well. Going to b ed no later than 11：30 pm is vital. It puts you in the right mood for the next day. Y ou needn't follow a special diet，but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.The person who plays well，studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities. Playing basketball or having a talk w ith your classmates can relax yourself. Time out is not a wast e of time but helps you study more efficiently.Besides taking the big exam，you have other choices for college. I took the independent enr ollment exam held by Peking University and some other stude nts even were preparing to study abroad. Pay attention to any relevant information you can find，whether it's from school，the news media or other sources.(1)What should you do if you want to keep your friendship fres h?A、Have frequent talks with them.B、Always have lunch with them.C、Keep connection by some ways.D、Remain them at some distance.(2)The third paragraph is mainly about________．A、healthB、friendshipC、relaxationD、study(3)Which one is the closest meaning to “Time out” in Paragra ph 4?A、SleepB、PauseC、ContinuationD、Exercise(4)The passage is probably written by a(n)________．A、editorB、parentC、teacherD、student2、阅读理解Nowadays it is common that people are buying more produ cts and services than ever before through the Internet, so do Americans. And experts say the popularity of online sales is li kely to spread to other countries. Online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the United States. This h as led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their custo mers loyal.Taking Lynne for example, she made good use of the Inter net. She used the Internet to buy everything she needed for h er Wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and daughter. O ther than food, 90% of her purchases were made on her hom e computer. “I find that, by being able to go online, choose the things that I need, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and I usually get a better selection.”There are a lot of people like her. Experts say American onl ine shopping hit records in both November and December.57 % of Americans have bought something electronically. Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed Mel aughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods li ke clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before p urchasing. The stores could also offer things that are difficult t o ship. Besides, some stores can please customers by offerin g to repair electronic products.Bill Martin is the founder of Shopper Trak. His business hel ps stores learn about their customers. He said, “There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision, you know, that takes pla ce. Often you need that last sense of “Boy, this is exactly wha t I want before you are ready to part with money, and you can' t always get that online. It's a rather cold process.”While e-commerce worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at t his time of the year.UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary work posi tions during the holiday season.(1)The purpose of this passage is to tell us ________.A、the challenge online owners are faced withB、the challenge e－commerce causes to traditional salesC、the difference between online sales and traditional salesD、the trouble that customers often meet when purchasing online (2)The example of Lynne is mentioned in the passage to sho w________.A、online sales will replace traditional sales sooner or laterB、traditional stores find new ways to keep their customers loyal C、traditional stores can't offer enough food to their customersD、online business has changed many Americans' life(3)The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 can be repl aced by “________”.A、includeB、avoidC、increaseD、discourage3、阅读理解Most American students go to traditional public schools. Th ere are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.Charter schools are self governing. Certain companies ope rate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to t raditional public schools. They receive tax money just as othe r public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or sta te governments that their students are learning. These govern ments provide the schools with the agreement called a charte r that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to o bey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Each sch ool can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and h ow to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually small er than in traditional public schools.The government strongly supports charter schools as a wa y to reorganize public schools, which are failing to educate stu dents. But some education unions are against charter schools . One teachers' union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in bo th traditional schools and charter schools.The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results woul d make charter school officials realize that they should help th eir students make greater progress .(1)If a company wants to operate a charter school, it must ___ _____.A、try new methods of teachingB、get the government's permissionC、obey the local and state lawsD、prove its management ability(2)What's the government's attitude toward charter schools?A、Doubtful.B、Unclear.C、Satisfied.D、Supportive.(3)What can we learn from the text?A、More students choose to attend charter schools.B、Charter schools are better than traditional schools.C、Students in charter schools are well educated.D、People have different opinions about charter schools.(4)What might be the best title for the text?A、Charter schools in AmericaB、Public schools in AmericaC、The government in AmericaD、Education in America4、阅读理解If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majorit y of Chinese students. That's because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and di stant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, s ometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken . But students have to do this because there is so much press ure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend s o much time indoors at school and at home, they have less ti me to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing goo d eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the ey es that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of AustralianNational University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but o nce they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend a bout an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend th ree to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students ne ed glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashio n statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serio us long term consequences.

2016-2017学年山西省忻州市岢岚中学高二（下）期中英语试卷(J)副标题一、单选题（本大题共10小题，共10.0分）1.After watching ____TV，she played ____violin for an hour．（）A. /；/B. the； theC. the；/D. /； the【答案】D【解析】答案：D．watch TV看电视，为固定搭配，而violin为乐器，play+the+乐器，故选D．看完电视后，她拉了一个小时的小提琴．本题考查冠词的用法．需要学生对定冠词、不定冠词的用法及相关固定搭配多加总结和记忆．2.-Shall I pick you up at the school gate tomorrow morning？-No，you _______．I will go there in my own car．（）A. shouldB. needn'tC. mustD. can't【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据No可知为否定回答，故A．C错误，而B．needn't不需要，没必要，符合题意．D．can't不能，不合题意．-我明天早上要来校门口接你吗？-不，你没必要来．我自己开车去那儿．本题考查情态动词的用法．需要学生根据语境选择合适的情态动词．3.Forrest Gump is the first English film I have ever seen．（）A. whichB. thatC. whenD. what【答案】B【解析】答案B．分析句子结构可知，" I have ever seen"为定语从句，定义从句中动词"seen"后缺少宾语，先行词为"the first English film"且先行词前面有序数词修饰；所以应该用关系代词"that"引导定语从句，故选B．《阿甘正传》是我看过的第一部英语电影．本题考查定语从句．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析成分，找出先行词和定语从句．然后分析定语从句中是否缺成分，如果缺少主宾表，要用关系代词（which、that、who、whose、whom、as），如果缺少状语，要用关系副词（where，when或why）．4.They won't buy new clothes because they money to buy a color TV set．（）A. saveB. are savingC. has savedD. were saving【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据句意"不愿买新衣服，因为他们在攒钱买一台彩色电视机"可知，攒钱应该是现在正在进行的动作；所以应该是现在进行时．故选B．他们不愿买新衣服，因为他们在攒钱买一台彩色电视机．对于时态的选择要结合句子的描述内容来综合判断，有时虽然没有时间状语，但是从前后的逻辑关系中完全可以判断的出来．5.I hurried ________ I wouldn't be late for class．（）A. sinceB. as ifC. so thatD. unless【答案】C【解析】答案：C．根据主句I hurried和从句I wouldn't be late for class的关系，可知I wouldn't be late for class是我匆忙的目的，作目的状语从句，故填so that"为了"．我匆匆忙忙为了上课不迟到．本题考查目的状语从句，学生需要对结果状语从句的用法和连词多加积累和运用．6. the house on fire，he dialed 119．（）A. To seeB. SeeingC. Having seenD. Being seen【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据常识，看见着火和拨打119几乎是同时发生，所以用现在分词．故选择B．看见着火了，他拨打了119．分析句子，理清谓语部分和非谓语部分，掌握动词的基本用法．7.-Susan，go and join your sister cleaning the yard．-Why ____？John is sitting there doing nothing．（）A. himB. heC. ID. me【答案】D【解析】答案：D．"为什么是我？"完整形式应为"Why it is me？"me在句中作宾语，故用宾格me．-Susan，去和你妹妹一起扫院子．-为什么是我？John坐在那儿什么也没干．本题考查人称代词的用法．应根据人称代词在句中充当的成分，选择合适的人称代词．8.Please remember nothing can be learned ______ hard work．（）A. byB. atC. withoutD. for【答案】C【解析】答案C．考查介词．此处为双重否定，可换成肯定：Please remember everything can be learned with hard work．故选择without．by通过…，被…．at在…，for为了…．请记住只要努力学习，没有什么是学不会的．考查介词的题，留意介词与动词、名词、形容词的搭配．9.This ruler is too short．I need a one．（）A. longB. longerC. more longD. more longer【答案】B【解析】答案：B．前一句说this ruler is too short表明需要长一点的，long的比较级为longer，故选B．这把尺子太短了．我需要一把长一点的．本题考查形容词比较级．学生需要对形容词比较级的变形规律进行总结及记忆，并根据语境选择运用合适的形式．10.-If you are free，I'll invite you to see a film tomorrow．（）-____．It couldn't be better．A. I'm sorryB. Thank youC. That's rightD. Don't mention it【答案】B【解析】答案：B 考查语言交际．A项：对不起；B项：谢谢；C项：对的，没错；D 项：不客气．从答语的后半部分It couldn't be better（那再好不过了）可知，答话人希望被邀请去看电影，所以要表示感谢．故答案选B项．--如果你有空，我明天邀请你看电影．--谢谢．那再好不过了．语言交际是灵活多变的，要注意根据语言环境具体问题具体分析．要做好这类题，需从以下三个方面着手：1．仔细审题，明确大意：首先要仔细审题，即在对话不完整的情况下，尽量弄懂该篇对话的大意和情景（如购物、看病、问路和应答、约会、口语应用等）．2．分析对话，试填答案：在解题过程中，要根据具体语境和上下文，分析对话中所缺部分、判断所缺的句子．3．全文复读，融会贯通：在试填好答案之后，应从头至尾再把对话读一遍，按照对话情境，中心内容，推理判断．二、阅读理解（本大题共12小题，共3.0分）AWaste can be seen everywhere in the school．Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom．They say they can afford these things．But I don't agree with them．Waste can bring a lot of problems．Although China is rich in some resources（资源），we are short of others，for example，fresh water．It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100years．So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it．I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day．Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible．In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on．Little by little，everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best．11.Which is not mentioned in this passage？______A. Fresh water．B. Forest．C. Oil．D. Coal．12.What may happen in 100 years？______A. We may still have enough oil．B. We may still have enough coal．C. We may have a little oil．D. We may have no coal or oil to use．13.Which of the following is right？______A. Waste brings problems．B. Waste can bring no problem．C. China is rich in fresh water．D. Students never waste things．14.Which is the best title of this passage？______A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD. Rich Resources in China．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】A 【小题4】A【解析】26．B．细节理解题．根据第二段we are short of others，for example，fresh water．It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100years可知提高了水煤油等资源；故选B．27．D．细节理解题．根据第二段It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100years可知100年后我们可能没有煤或石油可以使用；故选D．28．A．推理判断题．根据文章Little by little，everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best可知接下来可能会讲浪费带来的问题；故选A．29．A．推理判断题．根据文章Little by little，everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best可知这篇文章最好的题目是停止浪费；故选A．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了浪费的行为很不好，我们可以做很多事情来防止浪费的发生．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BOne of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do．Some people，however，from the time they are six years old"know"that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters．but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem．Choosing a job takes time，and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do．You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work，or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job．Fortunately，there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision．At most schools，there are teachers to give you information about jobs．And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions．15.In the first paragraph"get round to"means ______ ．A. considerB. go all the wayC. arrive atD. remain he same16.The passage tells you that ______ for a particular job．A. you should have ideas when you are a childB. it's impossible for you to get enough knowledgeC. you have to face the problemD. you may enter a class to study17.Making a decision about your job ______ ．A. needs friendsB. needs timeC. cost moneyD. cost your ability．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】B【解析】30．A．猜测词义题．根据第一段的句子"most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem．"大部分人是在有人或有事情迫使我们面对这个问题才考虑做决定的．可知"get round to"意为：考虑．故选A．31．D．细节理解题．根据第二段的句子"You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work，or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job．"可知为了某个特定的工作，你需要进一个班学习．故选D．32．B．细节理解题．根据第二段的句子"Choosing a job takes time，and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do．"可知选择一个工作需要花费时间．故选B．本文讲述了选择一份工作的重要性以及作者给出的建议．本篇阅读较为简单．文章内容，所出题目以及选项也较短，因此考生只要阅读详略结合，细心理解，就能快速得出正确答案．CLast week，all the teachers and students of our school watched a special performance by some disabled people．The first program was a dance named"The light of life"．To my surprise，all the dancers had lost one of their legs．As they were performing，I could see how they had to face so many difficulties．However，they showed us many wonderful programs．From these programs，I could see how lively their minds were．The two persons who came out next shocked us all．The first one was a singer．He was very young but unfortunately he had lost both of his hands in a big fire．The song he brought us was"Late Autumn"and he sang it in such a low and sweet voice．Though it was warm spring，I felt a little cold when I heard the song as if it was really late autumn．"How much love and feeling is hidden in my heart？I wish to hold your hands again．"Hearing this，I couldn't keep back my tears．The other one was also a young man．He lost both of his arms when he was six．From then on，his feet became his"hands"．However，he could manage a number of things with his feet．What moved us most was his feet writing．The two words"Flying High"expressed his wishes．"If your wings are gone，your heart can still fly，"said Zhang Haidi，a disabled writer．In the world，there are many disabled people，yet most of them don't give in．They have strong wishes and beautiful dreams．Just as Zhang Haidi said they could fly．Disability doesn't mean complete failure．Once you try hard，miracles（奇迹）will happen sooner or later．I believe where there is a will，there is a way．18.The teachers and students ______ last week．A. saw a filmB. held a partyC. watched a football matchD. watched a performance19.Why did the writer feel cold when he heard the song"Late Autumn"？______A.

山西省吕梁市岚县2016-2017学年高二英语下学期期中试题总分：150分第一部分阅读理解第一节（共15个小题，每小题3分，满分45分）AGrandpa was a carpenter (木匠). One day he was making some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Egypt. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He drove back to the church, but his search turned out to be fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out（滑出） of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut（钉住）. His new glasses were heading for Africa!Grandpa had six children and he had paid twenty dollars for the glasses that morning. “It's not fair,” he told God as he drove home. “I've been very faithful (忠诚的) in giving my time and money to YOUR work.”Several months later, the director（院长） of the orphanage was on holiday in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that helped him in Egypt, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago.“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, I had just broken my glasses. Then your boxes arrived. To my surprise, I found a pair of glasses in it and it fit me very well!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses, but thought that the man must have confused(混淆）their church with another. There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. Sitting quietly in the back, with tears in his eyes, Grandpa realized that God had played a big trick on him.1.Who got the glasses in the end?A. The orphanageB. The director of the orphanageC. Grandpa’s workmateD. Grandpa2. The people except the author’s grandpa in the church _________.A. were not interested in the director’s speechB. sent the pair of glasses to Africa on purposeC. knew the glasses that belonged to GrandpaD. thought the director had made a mistake3.

DisappointedD. SurprisedBYou’re standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking—except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at what you say. Or maybe you just aren’t brave enough to speak.I’ve been there, and so have many other people all over the world. Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬进) into our mouths and stops us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. But when I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk.One summer, I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers. I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them if they wanted to drink Coke or Sprite. I had to tell the people in the kitchen if someone wanted pickle（泡菜）on their sandwich.This job taught me how to speak with people.You may not be old enough to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.If you do these things for a while, the “shyness” snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It’ll look for anoth er mouth to crawl into.5. The underlined sentence(划线句子）in the second paragraph probably means＂_________＂A. I am sad because I know I will always be shy.B. Like many other people I have been troubled by shyness.C. I have been in many situations that make other people feel shy.D. I’m confident that I can find a way to get over shyness.6. The example in the first paragraph is used toA. introduce the fact that many people have a shyness problemB. show that everyone has the right to speak in classC. tell readers that it is not right to laugh at othersD. argue that it is right to keep silent in public7. The author’s duties（职责）in the restaurant includedA. cooking the meals for customersB. discussing the menu（菜单） with the managerC. taking the customers’ orders.D. helping people in the kitchen8. What should be the best title for the passage?A. I am shyB. How to overcome（克服）shynessC. What is shynessD. Everybody is shyCEveryone would like to be a millionaire（百万富翁）, a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concertis a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun. Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role. For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters.9. According to Britney Spears, she works __________.A. to be a great actressB. for moneyC. for the enjoymentD. to be more famous10. We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.A. older than 20B. around 20C. in their 30sD. in their 40s11. The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.A. a person interested in moneyB. a special personC. Britney SpearsD. a person in general12. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage comedy mo vie was based on Britney’s own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.DHave you ever experienced a natural disaster? The three people share their personal experiences with us?A flood（洪水） hit our village.When I was about 14 years old, I lived in Surathanee, the south part of Thailand.A flood hit our village after a rainstorm. The roads were flooded with a lot of water. My family and I worked hard to find things to control the flow of the water. People who lived near the river had to climb up to the roof of their houses.The flood caused damage to us. For example, my father’s rubber(橡胶) business was damaged because his rubber got wet. Besides, many houses were destroyed.------Anotai Udomwittayakra from Thailand The hurricane（飓风） was a nightmare.This story took place about seven years ago. At that time I was only eleven years old, but I could remember it clearly.During that week, we had to face the most powerful hurricane. I could still hear the noise of the wind blowing on the windows that were shaking. Outside,everything was flyin g or moving…cars, bikes, trees, and plastic bags. During the whole week, we were not able to go out. All the roads were cut off, and we didn’t have running water or communication. Under those conditions，the hardest part was having no contract with the rest of my family living around the island.---Kevin Parfait from Martinique It was really an earthquake.One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at a friend’s. When we were all in the pool,I felt dizzy(眩晕的)。

AMy wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live. Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say, “Never seen that dog around here before.”We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. It didn’t have any teeth left.Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and came back again when I was only halfway there. So we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food.Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket and more food, kept her warm and wondered what to do next.After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything.I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down.Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.In the so ng “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.1. Which of the following statements is true?A. The two dog walkers didn’t like the dog.B. After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owner.C. The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn’t walk.D. Mo st of the dog’s teeth had been pulled out by someone.2. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that .A. the dog didn’t go with the writerB. the writer had his own pet dogC. Julie bought some food for the dogD. the dog didn’t eat any of the food3. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. An Angel DogB. A Helpful CoupleC. Saving the DogD. A Famous SongBAs anyone who freelances(做自由职业)knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employe d individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and e ach other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the w orking day.”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use．4. Hoffice was started to________A. change people’s attitude to wor kB. encourage people to be more socialC. improve people’s working conditionsD. provide a co-working space for free5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How people respond to HofficeB. How a Hoffice day works.C. What people share at HofficeD. What Hoffice means to people6. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It is becoming increasingly popular.B. It has been around for quite a few years.C. It has created many new job opportunities.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.COnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop mefrom trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas —even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weig hed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet —and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities —and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.7. Why was the aut hor sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.8. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.9. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.10. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.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最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。

I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief will be one inch longer than the others.”The thief was afraid of being found out, and so he cu t an inch off his stick.

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirtywindow of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.【1】The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.A．the woman's window was dirtyB．the writer's window was dirtyC．the woman lived nearbyD．the writer was near-sighted【2】The writer was surprised that_____.A．the woman was sitting by her windowB．the woman's window was cleanC．the woman did cleaning in the afternoonD．the woman's window was still terrible【3】The underlined sentence "It dawned on me" probably means "____".A．I began to understand it B．it cheered me upC．I knew it grew light D．it began to get dark【4】It's clear that _____.A．the writer had never met the woman beforeB．the writer often washed the windowC．they both worked as cleanerD．they lived in a small town【5】From the passage, we can learn ______.A．one shouldn't criticize others very oftenB．one should often make his windows cleanC．one must judge himself before he judges othersD．one must look at others through his dirty windows3.One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.【1】The first paragraph tells us __________.A．none needs friendsB．we always need friends around usC．making friends is the need in people's lifeD．we need to be alone【2】Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage?A．People are happy when their friends leave them.B．People may never see their friends after their friends move away.C．Everyone needs friends.D．People like their friends very much if they get to know them.【3】 If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.A．they feel happier and healthierB．they get a lot of help from their friendsC．they take better care of themselvesD．both A and C【4】This passage tells us __________.A．that people are all friends B．that people need friendsC．how to get to know friends D．how to name a place5.Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy （嫉妒）.

I am quite interested and willing to help you with it.As a native Chinese speaker who have received formal school education for many years, I can express my ideas in Mandarin clearly and fluently, and all my teachers think my pronunciation charming. What’s more, I have much experience in teaching foreigners before, which can qualify me as your tutor.As for speaking Mandarin, it’s better to pay much attention to the pronunciation. If you want to learn it well, you should spend much time imitating and practicing it every day. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese、see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programs that you are into in your daily life. Speaking and listening are two fundamental skills for a language learning. If you persist in doing it, I strongly believe you can make it.You say in your post that you can teach English as a reward. It is just what I want. When I speak English, I often feel a little nervous. Can you give me some advice on how to overcome that?Looking forward to your earliest reply.Yours sincerelyLi Xia。

AWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.26. Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. Fresh water.B. Forest.C. Oil.D. Coal.27. What may happen in 100 years?A. We may still have enough oil.B. We may still have enough coal.C. We may have a little oil.D. We may have no coal or oil to use.28. Which of the following is right?A. Waste brings problems.B. Waste can bring no problem.C. China is rich in fresh water.D. Students never waste things.29. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD. Rich Resources in ChinaBOne of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do．Some people，however, from the time they are six years old “know”that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters．but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem．Choosing a job takes time，and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do．You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work，or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job．Fortunately，there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision．At most schools，there are teachers to give you information about jobs．And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions．30．In the first paragraph“get round to”means ________．A．consider B．go all the way C．arrive at D．remain he same 31．The passage tells you that ________ for a particular job．A．you should have ideas when you are a childB．it’s impossible for you to get enough knowledgeC．you have to face the problemD．you may enter a class to study32．Making a decision about your job ________．A．needs friends B．needs time C．cost money D．cost your abilityCLast week，all the teachers and students of our school watched a special performance by some disabled people．The first program was a dance named “The light of life”．To my surprise，all the dancers had lost one of their legs．As they were performing，I could see how they had to face so many difficulties．However，they showed us many wonderful programs．From these programs，I could see how lively their minds were．The two persons who came out next shocked us all．The first one was a singer．He was very young but unfortunately he had lost both of his hands in a big fire．The song he brought us was “Late Autumn” and he sang it in such a low and sweet voice．Though it was warm spring， I felt a little cold when I heard the song as if it was really late autumn．“How much love and feeling is hidden in my heart? I wish to hold your hands again．” Hearing this，I couldn’t keep back my tears．The other one was also a young man．He lost both of his arms when he was six．From then on，his feet became his “hands”．However，he could manage a number of things with his feet．What moved us most was his feet writing．The two words “Flying High” expressed his wishes．“If your wings are gone，your heart can still fly，” said Zhang Haid i，a disabled writer．In the world，there are many disabled people，yet most of them don't give in．They have strong wishes and beautiful dreams．Just as Zhang Haidi said they could fly．Disability doesn't mean complete failure．Once you try hard，miracles （奇迹）will happen sooner or later．I believe where there is a will，there is a way．33．The teachers and students last week．A．saw a film B．held a partyC．watched a football match D．watched a performance 34．Why did the writer feel cold when h e heard the song “Late Autumn”?
