2018-2019学年度上学期省六校协作体高二期初考试英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhat makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard to say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.The Torre VelascaThe Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower (狭窄的)than the upper parts.The Mirador BuildingThe Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular (矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.The Prague TV TowerThe Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.The Longaberger Basket CompanyThe Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It,s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.21. According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________ .A. is similar to a Lombard castleB. was created by Blanca LleoC. has a history of over 100 yearsD. is taller than the Prague TV Tower22. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building?A. B.C D23. When the Prague TV tower was put up, many people___ .A.liked it very muchB. thought little of itC. felt that it might fall down easilyD. thought that it was totally uselessBEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied. “No,I’m not hungry yet,”and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火)in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules. In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention , or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.24. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.25. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A.Different culturesB. Different characteristicsC. Different ways of communicatingD.Different educational background26. Compared with women, men_______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD.are better at building relationships27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCRed meat, usually considered to be beef, pork, mutton and lamb products, have nutritional value, but eating red meat also raises some health concerns.Red meat is an excellent source of protein(蛋白质). It is also a key source of vitamin B12, which is only available in animal products and is key for both red blood cell and nerve health. Red meat is also a rich source of zine, selenium(硒) andiron. Zinc and selenium are good for our immune system (免疫系统). Iron helps transport oxygen in the blood, and low levels of iron can lead to feeling tired. Eating red meat, especially lean cuts(廋肉), with meals and snacks, may help people curb hunger between meals and help people with weight management.Health risks of red meat may include the risk of heart disease and cancer. It is usually best to avoid processed meats. These tend to contain lots of salt andnitrites(亚硝酸盐), which may damage our health. Choosi ng lean cuts and cooking meat correctly may reduce health risks. It is generally advised not to undercook or overcook red meat and to avoid grilling(烧烤).When it comes to red meat and health, another thing is whether the animals are grain or grass-fed. Grass-fed animals frequently have a better quality of life. Grass feeding can be more environmentally friendly as well.Many governments suggest the amount of red meat should be safely included in a healthy diet. The amount varies between nations, but several portions a week are usually acceptable. Those who choose to include eating red meat may wish to choose grass-fed animals and to cut off any fat before eating.28. According to Paragraph 2, red meat _____.A.is quite expensiveB. a major source of various vitaminsC.can provide important nutrition for usD.contains protein that can’t be found in plants29. What does the underlined word “curb”in paragraph2 probably mean?A. experienceB. developC. controlD. realize30. What suggestion does the author give us on eating red meat?A.

Methods of cooking red meatDScientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a deve lopment of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of genetic engineering.B. Ways to improve mothers’ milk.C. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.D. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4?A. have more varieties thanB. have more nutrition thanC. be more similar toD. be more different from34. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.35. What’s Adrian Mutto’s attitude to the genetic engineering?A.negativeB. supportiveC.indifferentD.mixed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。

This advertisement is made more believable by .A. usingrecommendationsB. offering reasons for this inventionC. providingstatisticsD. showing the results of experimentsCIn 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco-social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable(可持续的), self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called 'just a big, wet desert'.'They always put social experiments in the easiest places,' Lugari said.'We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it anywhere.''Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded thathumans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas,' wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the 'inventor of the world'.A new study by a team of researchers has found that 'nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests'.Considering this disturbing fact—and as the world population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase the planet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different.28.Before the year 1971,________.A.there was never any rain in GaviotasB.Gaviotas was one of the hardest places to live on the planetC. scientists did many social experiments in GaviotasD. Lugari often visited Gaviotas29. Gaviotas has developed into a sustainable, self-sufficient village thanks to________.A. the government's greatsupport B. people's organic farmingC. Lugari's greatcontribution D.the United Nations' research30. The fourth paragraph is intended to tell us ________.A. the income of people inGaviotas B. the public security situation of GaviotasC. the rainforest species inGaviotas D. the living conditions of people in Gaviotas31. What is the passage mainly about?A. A village that reinvented the world.B. A person who planted many trees.C. How a small village turned into a businesscenter. D. The importance of protecting the environment.DThe extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating methods as the termite mound (白蚁堆).Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building is the country's largest commercial and shopping complex(综合楼)but uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5 million on a 36 million building because air conditioning didn't have to be equipped.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans take fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fortyeight brick chimneys.During summer's cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes ofair an hour through the building to circulate the air which has been in contactwith the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level,and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings---days aswarm as 31 °C commonly drop to 14°C at night.“You couldn't do this in New York,with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,”Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures.It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 °Cand 25 °C, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summerrains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentallyswitched off the fans at night. And the air is far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.32.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A. It was designed in a smallersize. B. No air conditioners werefixed in.C. Its heating system was less advanced.D. It usedrather different building materials.33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air fromoutside.B. Heat in the building.C. A hollowspace.D. A baseboard vent.34. Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.35. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature controlsystem .A. allows a wide range of temperaturesB. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of theair D. works better in hot seasons第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Tips for protecting your eyes during the winterWe usually worry about staying warm during the winter months, and think less about protecting our eyes.____36____.

A week later, she raninto a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas.Kylie was surprised and let him know: "If you can't remember what I told you lastweek, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!" (---Mary Paul, Milwaukee, Wisconsin)As my son Mike and I drove to the mall, we passed a Salvation Army Santa ringinghis bell. "Mike," I said, "there's Santa!" He shook his head. "That's just some guyin a Santa suit," he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. "Now, there's the real Santa!" (---Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois)We immigrated to America from China when I was six. Because I was shy and didn't speak English, I had few friends. My days were spent at home with my brother. Sometimes we'd help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, "Ho, ho, ho!" He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.(---Joanne Tang, Litchfield Park, Arizona) 21. Why was Kylie surprised when running into a different Santa?A. Because she got what she wished.B. Because she knew who the Santa was.C. Because she wished to get another toy.D. Because she thought they were the same Santa.22. What would Mike's parent feel as to Mike's different attitudes towards Santa?A. Angry B.Confused C.Sad D. Unbelievable23. What did Mr. Mueller do on Christmas Day?A. He stood outside our house.B. He stayed with us in our home.C. He continued to pull weeds.D.He gave out gifts by acting as SantaBIf you rent an apartment in Beijing, you also rent the landlord or landlady for at least a year. It's important you find a good match because you have to deal with them in the long term. For me, it was love at first sight with the elderly couple who owns my apartment.It was quite a tough trying to find the right apartment when I first arrived in Beijing. The apartments were either unsuitable or I find fault with the owners who looked indifferent at best and unfriendly at worst. But that all changed when the renting agent's car stopped in front of a hutong house in the heart of the capital.I saw an elderly couple, in their 70s perhaps, waving to me. They were warm and welcoming at first glance, and when I saw them attentively hanging up the curtains in what would become my bedroom, I was just about sold on the place and the owners!Chinese people talk about yuanfen, meaning fate that brings people together. Before I met my current landlords, I thought the concept of yuanfen was overrated. A generous landlady who liked me and wanted me to move into her apartment had used the term in reference to me. But it was this lovely couple that changed my mind about the concept.We have become accustomed to visiting each other at home. The couple's apartment is lovingly decorated, boasting a recent wedding photo of themselves taken in bridal wear. The landlord likes to smoke and sip tea, while the landlady takes great pride in her appearance.After three years, I dare say they treat me a bit like a “daughter”, despite having two grown sons, one of them close by. They give me gifts of tea or clothes, and I bring them souvenirs from my trips. A match made in heaven, indeed!24. How did the author feel about renting an apartment in Beijing?A.It was a piece of cake.B.There were lots of unfriendly owners.C.It was worth trying different apartments.D.It was not so easy to find a suitable apartment.25. What did the elderly couple do when they first met the author?A. They looked indifferent and find fault with the author.B. They gave a warm welcome and took good care of the house.C. They liked the author and wanted her to move into their apartment.D. They were nice and gave her gifts of tea or clothes.26. Which one is correct about the elderly couple?A.They are newly married. B.They are nice and easy to get along with.C.They love drinking tea. D.They live together with their two sons.27. Which one is the best title for this text?A.Love at first sight B.My experience in BeijingC.A lovely couple D.Heaven on earthCMarathon fever is sweeping this country. In recent years, China's ever-growingpassion for marathons has been triggered by its economic development andhealth-conscious middle class. A large number of marathon runners are white-collarworkers, civil servants and business people that are keen on leading a healthylifestyle. Government support, social participation and strong marketing by thesports industry have gradually led to the rapid development of the marathon industry,which is currently valued at 70 billion yuan ($10.77 billion). Due to its largeparticipation and nationwide media report, marathons are considered by local governments an important part of marketing their cities. Thus, many cities list uniqueroutes across local scenic spots and historical attractions, not only to boostpeople's fitness, but also to promote local tourism.For many runners, marathons are a way of life." As we get older, the places andopportunities to meet new people decrease. I find that participating in marathonsis a simple way to make friends," said Wu, who made many friends in the Xstop Running Community, a running club with 48,000 members established by Xtep, one of the leadingdistributors of sports merchandise in China."The sense of belonging and the mutual encouragement that exists within the runningcommunity are very attractive to many people. We easily befriend one another, sincewe have the same goal: to keep running and never stop," Wu said. Besides, a marathoncan be a great way to explore new places. For a runner who also loves traveling,marathons are a solid choice. "Competing in an international marathon is a chanceto experience a city or a country you've never visited before," said Meng, anexperienced runner from north China's Tianjin Municipality, who often runs in London,New York and Melbourne.There's a unique perspective that people get running through the streets of a city,distinct ancient buildings or amazing natural settings, he explained, things that somehow just can't be seen by rushing in a car. In addition, during a race, streets are often closed off so you don't have to battle traffic.28.Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word "triggered" in the first paragraph?___A.motivated B.solved C.battled D.increased29.Who is most likely to take part in the marathons___A.John,a company managerB.Jack,a middle-aged farmerC.Rose,a high school studentD.Maria,a retired teacher30.According to paragraph 3&4,which of the following statement is NOT true?___ A.A marathon can be a great way to explore new placesB.There is few traffic in the streets during a marathon race.C.You see common sights by running through the streets of a cityD.Many people are attracted to mutual encouragement of the running community.31.Why do local governments support the marathons?___A.Because nationwide media coverage can make them famous.B.Because they realize the benefits for their citizens.C.Because local scenic spots and historical attractions can have unique routes.D.Because they want to make people healthier and boost tourism.DI began cycling in 2004 when I was a poor student. It was dangerous, sure, but cycling is the fastest, cheapest point-to-point form of transport in Melbourne. I own a car now, but that’s just for transporting the bab y or groceries.I hate driving. So it’s been quite encouraging watching the growth in cyclist numbers over the past decade. It is said that over 10,000 cyclists enter the CBD (Central Business District) each day, taking pressure off public transport. But as more people take to cycling as a way of transport, the number of cyclists seriously injured or killed keeps increasing. And that is a sign that our infrastructure (基础设施) is still not good enough.Melbourne was once a dream for cyclists--flat, long, wide roads, with plenty of paths along rivers. Now, cycling can be deadly, with roads taken up by cars. I have a friend who broke her back and was lucky to escape death and others with broken bones. In my time riding, I’ve been forced off the road by a truck, c ut off by four-wheel drives, and told to get off the road. Drivers are a particularly rude to cyclists. And that’s a sign of exactly one thing: inadequate infrastructure.We shouldn’t need to be taught how to coexist in the same narrow space. Drivers and cyclists should be kept apart.
