2019学年贵州思南中学高二下期中考试英语卷【含答案及解析】
2019学年贵州思南中学高二下期中考试英语卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, ordo you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitudeto beggars be? There can be no doubt that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But as the world changed? Maybewhat was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune andneeded help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) . Secondly, there is the worry that the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.2. What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right inthe past.C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.4. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because______________ .A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments.2. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being values and having values. Your being values are the personalitiesof the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that theyare willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is whatyou receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings andconditions in your life.When you make a promise to live by your being values,it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的) c hoices rather than reactionary (反动的 ) ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think andact like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you will not only feel good about yourself, but also strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.1. The main purpose of this passage is to .A. persuade the readers to make a promiseB. explain to the readers what personal values areC. inform the readers how to be truly happyD. instruct the readers how to make wise choices2. According to the text, living by your being values, you would_________ .A. gain a lot of powerB. form positive personalityC. seek all human virtuesD. fill your own needs3. The underlined word "void" in Paragraph l means___________ .A. a feeling of emptinessB. an absence of one's mindC. a break of continuityD. a state of confusion4. What can be inferred from the text?A. Having values are better than being values.B. A calm person does not choose to complain.C. The way other people think of you decides who youare.D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.3. * CAR HIREHiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday. There are so many places of interest tovisit, and if you enjoy more than just the city center, there's no better way to explore than by car.CONDITIONS OF HIRE :4. ly:宋体; font-size:10.5pt">What's included(a) Unlimited mileage.(b) Expenses on oil, maintenance and repairs, which will be repaid on production of receipts (收据)(c) Full insurance covered but exclusive (除外的 ) of personal accidents (see below) and contents.

A booking fee of 12 as part of the car hire cost is required.Should you be forced to cancel your car hire bookingafter payment in full (two weeks before date of hire), a cancellation charge of ￡ 12 will be made.6. It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, saidthat she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?Japan High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭 ) at the end of the month receives a prize.The United States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. Schoollunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量 ) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium (钙) and calories.Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children's health, healthierfoods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic ligh t system. The saleof red-label ed foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twic e a week. Healthier green-label ed foods such as sushi (寿司),sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up t o 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South Africa Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home,usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to arise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns haveled the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools areprovided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.1. What does the underlined word "obesity" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Violence.B. Sadness.C. Famine.D. Overweight.2. We can infer from the passage that _ .A. a typical menu from a US school consists of enough nutritionB. most students in South Africa eat their lunch at homeC. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outsidetheir schoolD. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan3. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.B. Schools serve different foods from country to country.C. Food served in America is the best of all.D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.4. The article is meant for____________________ .A. school lunch suppliersB. schoolmastersC. students of your age___________D. nutritionists7. 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。

(9%)(以下题目从卡片41题起填涂，对号入座)On March 17 the color green will spread all around the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something green on this day, as the color is 41 Ireland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to 42 about the Irish.Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity, their famous 43 alcohol, or their reputation for telling tall tales.These characteristics are all based on the most mon Irish stereotypes (成见) that the Irish are hot-tempered drinkers who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.The real joke, however, is that these negative Irish stereotypes still exist. These stereotypes may have gone back to the 19th century when they started, but they’re far from 44 today -– with the exception, perhaps of the drinking.Today, the Irish are admired for their storytelling ability, musical talent and strong education. It’s no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of the most famous music acts of all time, such as singer Enya and rock band U2, were Irish born and bred.So where did the 45 Irish stereotypes e from? They can be traced back to the 19th century, which was a very bad time to be Irish.At that time, Ireland was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the US to escape famine, but there they had to 46 occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on the US’ streets that the Irish 47 for street fighting.However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is still true, their love of drink.

Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor (单身汉) party five years ago sent me a friend request．I accepted a nd waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all．I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son．However, I’m pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other．But he’ll remain a friend of’ online until one of us makes a point of’ removing the other from his official list．My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of’ friends. There are 35 in all．If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I’m confident that I could increase my friend count actually．A person could make a mission out of’reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better．And some people can even handle hundreds of no-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of’ panions．After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends．Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must e to a close．But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back．That’s normal．People move from school to school, job to job, city to city．You never have to feel guilty for breaking away．Every day, the masterminds of’ Web 2.0 find new ways of’ making human munication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch(拐杖)．Some things shouldn’t be simplified．Talking about friendship, there can be no shortcuts．65．According to Paragraph l, the website is famous because ___________ ．A．it has an interesting name of “ Facebook”B．it helps people get in touch with old friendsC．it can send people a greeting of’ some kindD．it reminds people of ‘events in the past66．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are 35 people in the author’s list of’ friends right now．B．The author municates with all the 35 friends by e-mails．C．The list of 35 friends doesn’t include the old e-mail addresses．D．It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count．67．What does the writer mean by saying “However, convenience can be a crutch(拐杖)”?A．The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell crutch online．B．Taking a crutch is a new way of’ making friends online．C．Convenience is dangerous for human munication．D．Convenience is not really good for human munication．68．What does the author think of’ the conve nience of’ municating online?A．The technology could not keep true friendship forever．B．The social website of Facebook means nothing at all．C．There will be no ways of making real friends online．D．People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook．B (每题2分)My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates．We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other’s handwriting at a glance．Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts(被抛弃者)．From second grade on, a small group started harassing(骚扰)two or three of the others．I was on e of those two or three, though I didn’t know why．In most cases when children get picked on, they aren’t good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race．But in my class, we all read too much and didn’t know how to play sports．We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other’s race．This is what was so strange about my situation．Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group．But in my class, large differences did not exist．It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them．The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around．If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent. Sometimes, someone would not see me ing and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense．There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I．She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes. One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn’t want to miss．We walked to a corner of the playground．Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl’s diary．I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others．Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, eventhough the satisfaction does not last．Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt．If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can’t honestly be sure．69．The author was made an outcast because _________．A．she couldn’t play sports as well as othersB．her family belonged to a minority groupC．her classmates found her clothes funnyD．her classmates required an outcast70．How was the author treated as an outcast?A．She was often the target of teasing．B．No one responded to her talking．C．She was refused to approach others．D．Her diary was often made public．71．What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．She showed great sympathy with the girl．B．She joined others in making fun of the girl．C．She stopped the others from hurting the girl．D．She found more materials about the girl for jokes．72．What does the passage intend to tell us?A．Someone is likely to bee an outcast．B．We shouldn’t hit a person when he is down．C．One should pay somebody back in his own way．D．Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others．C (每题2分)Experts in the food industry are thinking a lot about trash(垃圾) these days. Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are making up for the rising costs of waste in new ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems making food in smaller amount or trying to cut down on trash-hauling(托运)costs. Roughly 30% percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some $48 billion annually according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A xx University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38% percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbled whatever looked good at the canteen, only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.That same phenomenon often happens at Oregon’s Portland International Airport. Busy travelers often throw half-eaten meals into trash cans, adding dozens of tons of waste that the airport must pay the city to haul away. Now the airport is carrying out a program to install food-only trash carts. The food waste is collected in biodegradabe(可生物分解的) bags and given to the city to use as post(堆肥). Besides being environmentally friendly, the changes may save the airport money. It costs about $82 to have one ton of trash hauled from the airport to the city landfill(垃圾掩埋场). But food waste costs about $48 a ton to haul.Cutting back on the waste can require spending money on software and training. LeanPath,based in Portland, Ore, sells a software system to track food being thrown out. Steve Peterson, head chef at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, said he was surprised when he installed the LeanPath system and saw the value of food that was going out the back door. To cut costs, Peterson decided to reduce serving sizes. He said customers weren’t bothered by the switch, which has helped him lower food waste by between 15 to 20 percent over 18 month.73. The main reason for people paying attention to food waste is ______________.A. to lower the cost of food wasteB. to save more food for the world.C. to keep the dining room cleanD. to reduce the effort of cooking74. What kind of measure has been taken to cut food waste?A. Making cafeteria at colleges and universities trayless.B. Using software system to trace the location of the trash.C. Trying to remove the food waste little by little.D. Charging higher prices for smaller amount of food.75. What’s the benefit of installing food-only trash cans at the airport?A. Keeping the airport clean and tidy.B. Fastering the process of making trash into post.C. Reducing the cost of removing the trash.D. Reminding the passengers to produce less trash.76. In which way can software help reduce the food waste?A. It can store varieties of measures for people to choose.B. It can help people to be informed of the food waste.C. It can calculate the total amount of the food offered.D. It can connect the food needed with the data of customers.77. What is the passage mainly about?A. Great amount of food is wasted at public places.B. Individuals don’t pay attention to food waste.C. It costs big money to handle food waste.D. Lots of new methods are taken to deal with food waste.Section C: Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.(6%)(请将78--80题答案填写在答题纸上) Forest schools are a type of outdoor education in which children (or adults) visit forests, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as “an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment”.Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in school-age children. Topics are broad including the natural environment, for example the role of trees in society, the plex ecosystem supported by a wilderness, and recognition of specific plants and animals. However, the personal skills are considered highly valuable, such as teamwork and problem solving. The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and munication. Forest schools are also called nature schools.Schedules within forest schools vary, but a typical approach is to take school children towoodland for once a week, with 6 week observation period at first. Often a baseline(基线)is produced for each child in terms of areas of their overall development, with particular emphasis on their social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL). Once the baseline assessment has been produced, the Forest School teachers will then continue with the long term programme over the course of the academic year in order to support the child in their development and learning. The teachers will provide opportunities for each child to develop in areas that have been identified as requiring interventions(介入)or support of any kind. The time and frequency of visits influences the degree of oute most; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits. Visits should continue throughout the year, allowing children to experience all weathers and the changing seasons.Forest schools are often “led by the child’s interests” by parison to other outdoor education which “starts with a problem for the children to investigate”.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statement in about ten words.)78．The goal of forest schools is defined as to __________________in a woodland environment. 79．What personal skills are considered highly valuable in Forest schools?__________________________________________________________________________ 80．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?___________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题纸标号相应位置上。

What will students learn if they take the online course?A. The way to write a resume．B. The way to put an advertisement．C. The skills of talking with others．D. The skills of improving reading．2. Who is the online course intended for?A. Trainers．B. Interviewers．C. Job seekers．D. College students．3. Which ofthe following best describes the online course?A Cheap． B. Practical． C. Long-standing． D. World-class．BThe measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases the need for plastic protective equipment. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome. Less than 10% of the plastic produced has been recycled. Even more of it has been burned. But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland, and it is increasingly polluting the environment. We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food. But microplastic is even more worrisome. Plastic doesn't break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）, which have been found in every corner of the planet, on land and in the air, in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires. Instead, they have viewed single-use plastic—which makes up about 40% of plastic used each year—as a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management. That attitude must change because the recent global breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been, nor ever will be, able to keep up with plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reduction—it was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged. The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75% by 2032. California, though influential, can't solve this crisis alone. The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.4. Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A. To show the harm of plasticB. To warn of the climate change.C. To call for the development of fossil fuels.D. To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.5. What's the author's attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A. Favorable.B. Tolerant.C. Curious.D. Opposed.6. What's California's role in reducing plastic waste?A. A pioneer.B. A failure.C. An objector.D. A predictor.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB. Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC. Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD. Global Environmental Disasters Are IncreasingCThe common use of Google Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.8. How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.9. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?A. Strange street names.B. Ordinary paper maps.C. Complex road arrangements.D. Lack of road instructions.10. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. In a fixed order.B. In good condition.C. Of great importance.D. Of the same kind.11. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?A. Fashion.B. Opinion.C. Society.D. Geography.DWhen I was 13, I lost my sight. Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it. A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind. That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting — about skills on my way to learning practical technology. My parentssettled forit.But how would I plan my course? I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, get around without a walking stick by counting steps. But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had. I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout（布局）of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind. Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction. But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill. I'd have to swallow（吞下）my pride to ask kind strangersfor help.On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down. But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again. Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again. And when people ask me,"Aren't you afraid to be out on your own?” the answer to me is clear：I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, "Our boy can see!".12. What does the underlined phrases “settled for" in the second paragraph mean?A. Talked about.B. Stuckto.C. Agreed to.D. Cared about.13. How did the author go around on his own after losing his sight?A.He created pictures of places in his mind.B. He drew a map on the paper to help him.C. He was always asking strangers for directions.D.He threw away the walking stick and counted steps.14. Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Determined and adventurous.B. Patient and intelligent.C. Warm-hearted and positive.D. Adventurous and outgoing.15. How did the author's parents feel about his progress?A.Concerned.B. Surprised.C. Confident.D. Proud.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ALos Angeles is a relatively new and spreading city, which means there’s a big canvas (画布) for architects of many styles to put their 3D stamps on the city. For architecture fans, here are some must-see spots.Watts TowersDesigned and constructed by Italian-born Simon Rodia over the course of three decades, the 17 towers—the tallest is 100 feet high—consist of metal and found objects such as broken glass, pottery chips (陶器碎片), seashells, etc. You can take a guided tour of this place, learning about the history of this attractive project. 1727 E. 107th St., LA．Getty CenterArchitect Richard Meier’s shining city on a hill took 16,000 tons of marble to build but today it’s a wonder, housing the Getty’s main art collection and offering unbelievable views of Los Angeles. 1200 Getty Center Dr., LA．Sturges HouseFrank Lloyd Wright designed nine different structures throughout Southern California. This was Wright’s first turn away from the textile (纺织) block buildings he’d been designing in California and toward stressing natural factors of thestructure to mix with the natural surroundings. 449 N. Skyewiay Rd., LA．Walt Disney Concert HallFrank Gehry has lived in Los Angeles for decades and his world has been seen throughout the city. This one, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, is his most luxurious (奢侈的) building in Southern California. You need not sit through a symphony performance to get a glance at the interior(内饰). The concert hall offers free self-guided audio tours recorded by actor John Litligow. 111 S. Grand Ave., LA．21．Where should you go to visit Watts Towers?A．1200 Getty Center Dr., LA． B．1727 E. 107th St., LA．C．449 N. S kyewiay Rd., LA． D．111 S. Grand Ave., LA．22．What is special about Sturges House?A．It is made up of 9 structures. B．It is a textile block building.C．It fits in well with its environment. D．It is a luxurious building.23．Who designed Walt Disney Concert Hall?A．Simon Rodia. B．Richard Meier.C．John Lithgow. D．Frank Gehry.BAlong with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling(运球) and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesn't require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop and a ball.So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 127 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association(NBA)has an increasing appeal for fans around the world.The success of basketball as global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game.” The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from forbidding African-Americans to play basketball to allowing them to play in the NBA, "the LIVESTRONG website noted.From the 1950s onwards, segregation rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitols, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.It's not difficult to see that there's a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played. basketball happens in the air; flying, fl oating, raised above the floor, letting the oppressed(受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.”24．What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author? A．It can be played everywhere.B．It doesn't cost much.C．It doesn't require too much skill.D．It interests almost everyone.25．What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?A．The sport was created by a PE teacher.B．The sport was not popular with people at first.C．Its rules have been changed a lot to suit new circumstances.D．The NBA,with a history of 127 years, attracts people worldwide.26．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 5? .A．Explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950s.B．Prove the popularity of basketball among African-Americans.C．Stress the success African-Americans in basketball.D．Show how racial integration（融合）took place in basketball.27．What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean?A．Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.B．American people usually have a basketball dream.C．Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.D．Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.CPeople may set an alarm on the phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up?A recent study says yes. The answer is music.The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead writer of the study stated, "We are very surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping sound to be more successful," at waking up a person.Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep inertia's harmful effects on human performance later in the day.Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do, "care should be taken" when performing duties that require a top performance within this period, he said. This includes "dangerous tasks like driving or riding our bikes" shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "beeping" alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be, McFarlane said. "We could suggest alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with. The current sounds I have been using include 'Close to me' by the Cure and 'Borderline' by Madonna."No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters — a lot.28．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．What is grogginess? B．Why are musical alarms better? C．Which music is the best? D．How can we overcome grogginess? 29．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Sleep inertia is another cause for grogginess.B．How long a person sleeps is of great importance.C．The ‘beeping’ alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone.D．It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up.30．What is the paragraph following this passage likely to focus on ? . A．Examples of good musical alarmsB．More findings of the application of musicC．Explanations about why music is more helpfulD．Suggestions on how to sleep well and feel fresh each morning31．In which section of a magazine may you find the passage?A．Health B．FictionC．Technology D．EntertainmentDSeasonal pumped hydropower storage（SPHS），an already established yet infrequently used technology , could be an affordable and sustainable solution（解决方法）to store energy and water annually, according to new IIASA research published in the journal Nature Communications. Compared with other mature storage solutions, such as natural gas, the study shows that there is considerable potential for SPHS to provide highlycompetitive energy storage costs.Seasonal pumped hydropower storage means pumping water into a deep storage reservoir（水库）, built parallel to a major river, during times of high water flow or low energy demand. When water is not enough or energy demand increases，stored water is then released from the reservoir to generate electricity.The new study is the first to provide a global, high-resolution analysis of the potential and costs for SPHS technology. In their analysis, researchers assessed the theoretical global potential for storing energy and water seasonally with SPHS, focusing on the locations with the highest potential and lowest cost. They found that the technology would be particularly effective in the Himalayas, the Andes, Alps, and the Rocky Mountains, as well as mountainous regions in the Middle East, Brazil, Asia, and Russia, and many other locations around the world.The study also addresses some of the potential environmental concerns related to hydropower. Because SPHS reservoirs are deep and constructed parallel to, rather than within the course of a river, the environmental and land use impacts can also be up to 10 to 50 times smaller than conventional hydropower plants.Hunt, lead author of the study, says, “With the need for a change to a more sustainable world with lower CO2 emissions（排放）, renewable energies and energy storage will play a major role in the near future. Given the vast untapped（未开发的）and cheap potential of SPHS, it will soon play an important role in storing energy and water on a yearly basis.”32．What is the strength of SPHS based on the new IIASA research?A．It’s costly.B．It’s out-dated.C．It’s rarely used. D．It’s i nexpensive.33．What do researchers concentrate on when assessing the use of SPHS? A．Environmental protection. B．High profits.C．Suitable places. D．Water flow.34．What do we know about the SPHS reservoirs in Paragraph 4?A．They damage the river.B．They are environmentally friendly.C．They are similar to traditional hydropower plants.D．They can be effective in many places globally.35．What’s the future for SPHS according to Hunt?A．Promising. B．Panicking.C．Discouraging. D．Demanding.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。
