高中英语真题:2014-2015学年高二英语下学期第八次周练试题新人教版第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me th at I had to make five free throws (投球) one after another without a break before I could go home.I was ten years old at that time. So I shot (投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the numb er of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, sayi ng that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usual ly get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I nev er expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one g ame really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal Hig h School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — givin g the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates ga ve me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to t he free throw line and made two free throws successfully. I en ded up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author’s father was very strict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102. How many times was the author fouled?A. Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.3. What can we learn from the text?A. The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes.B. The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the author had the talent.D. team was stronger than the author’s team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding t o two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had be en an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. W hen boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was b leeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questio ns to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacke t on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandage s. said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as po ssible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job. Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he s aid, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people . I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”4. Before helping the old lady, Brian .A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into pract ice5. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C.

After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees t o get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back butlonger on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue ex plained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment an d we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe ifpeople have short hair, they do not need to use their hair drier s for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are conf used about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami en ded production at the plants. The disaster resulted in a revie w of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a q uarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The governm ent has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towar ds more sustainable (能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air condit ioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn do wn the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summe r months.8. The company gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the company offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption9. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants10. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of ’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear inC. the company is not alone in saving energyD. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is welcome inB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off (睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is thebest way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in , nodding off after learning so mething new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remem ber. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who sle pt for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 h ours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously (有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into mem ory for events and memory for facts about the world. People u se both types of memory every day — remembering where th ey parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be call ed.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep com pared to a day of wakefulness (不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories we re greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather t han following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning somet hing new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this stud y is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative mem ory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after lea rning benefited both types of memory, this means that it woul d be a good thing to go over any information you need to rem ember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”12. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps reme mber it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types14. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 h ours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ me moriesC. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories im proved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should slee p.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。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.36. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.B. A shy person may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.37. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. lazyB. carefulC. eagerD. unwilling38. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because theyusually ________.A. have a strong willB. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extrovertsD. have a good attitude to learning39. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probablyrefers to ________.A. energyB. courageC. quietnessD. knowledgeBYou may have heard the popula r saying, “there are always more fish in the sea”. But as many new studies show, fish populations are changing, and not necessarily for the better.Consider the case of big, predatory (食肉动物) fish. These giants, like sharks and cod (鳕鱼), eat other smaller fish. Big fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem (海洋生态系统) because they keep down the numbers of smaller fish. Without fish that eat other fish, populations of smaller swimmers would increase, eating more plants, and leaving less vegetation for other creatures, including future fish.As fierce as predators can be, they’re no match for fishing technology. Many people love to catch predatory fish like sharks, cod and tuna, and new studies suggest that over-fishing is threatening these creatures near the top of the marine food chain.In one study, Villy Christensen and his colleagues looked at 200 past studies of marine life to learn how fish populations have changed over time. Christensen reported that between 1910 and 1970, the numbers of big predators decreased slowly, and that in 1970 their populations really started to drop. Around that time, fishing ships began using new tools that led to more fish being caught. The numbers have been falling quickly ever since.Reg Watson looked at the problem from the perspective of the fishermen. In the middle of the 20th century, Watson reported, fishing boats didn’t go far from home, and most fish were caught near the shore. That was no longer true by the 1980s. By then, fishing had moved farther from shore, into the open oceans, and was helped by the development of new technologies. But since the 1990s, something has changed. Despite new technologies and more efforts, fishing operations have not continued to develop.Scientists study historical data to understand the present, and this research is needed to forecast the future of fish and fishing. And the forecastdoesn’t look good: large predator fish are becoming harder to find, and soon may disappear.40. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .A. more big fish are breeding in the oceanB. the fewer smaller fish, the more big fishC. big fish are less important than smaller fishD. the numbers of smaller fish are controlled by big fish41. Why did the number of big predators begin to fall quickly in 1970?A. Fishing ships began using new tools with which they could catch more fish.B. There were fewer smaller fish than before.C. There were more people catching big predators.D. Their environment was being polluted by fishing ships.42. Which of the following would scientists most probably agree with?A. It may soon be difficult to find large predator fish.B. It will cost much more in the future to catch big fish.C. Smaller fish still give the fishing industry a bright future.D. It is tough for researchers to forecast the future of fish.43. What can we conclude from the passage?A. The decrease of the number of smaller fish has changed the marine food chain.B. Big fish have to live in the deep sea to avoid being caught.C. Over-fishing with new technology accounts for the decrease of the number of big fish.D. The decreasing populations of small fish lead to fewer big fish.CParents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork at an early age．And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing．Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc．All can be expensive．Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers,however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training．44．Where can we most probably find this passage?A．An advertisement． B．A diary．C．A newspaper． D．A notice board．45. The underlined phrase “to take a second place ”in the first paragraph means _______.A．to become less important B．to put it at another placeC．to happen again D．to be the most important 46．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．It’s easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports．B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training．C．Early training may damage young muscles．D．It’s not very expensive for parents to support their children’s development in sports．DSome expressions in English can be really puzzling. Have a look at the following to see how it challenges your brainpower.Homeric laughterThe "Homer" in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudly. "Homeric laughter" refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer's classics.A three-ring circusWhen you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment — the circus. The area where the artists perform their acts is called the "ring". In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different "rings". The audience had to decide which "ring" they wanted to focus on.In the swim (of things)When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things happening around him, as in "I've been ill, but soon I’ll be back in the swim of thing." In the world of fishing, fishermenuse the word "swim" to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in plenty. So, if you are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot offish, where would you be? You would be "in the swim".Chickens have come home to roostThe word "roost" refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything — the branch of a tree, a henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in the past have come back to bite or upset the individual. In other words, one has to face the consequences of the deeds done in the past. The original form of this 700-year-old expression was "curses are like chickens; they always come home to roost".47. Which of the following can best describe the picture?A. Homeric laughterB. A three-ring circusC. In the swim (of things)D. Chickens have come home to roost48. What does the underlined word "simultaneously'(Paragraph 3) mean?A. At the same time.B. Step by step.C. All of a sudden.D. One after another.49. lf you want to know more about such expressions, which website will you probably visit?A. /sports/China.htmlB. /world/university.htmlC. /culuture/language.htmlD. /entertainment/fashion.html 50. The passage is written to .A. tell readers some old and interesting storiesB. indicate the development of English phrasesC. correct some misunderstandings about wordsD. explain the meanings and origins of some phrases四、七选五(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。

限时练习：60min 完成时间：月日天气：作业08 词性转化（名词、动词、形容词、副词）一、词性转换优点英语阅读理解A（2023上·山东临沂·高二统考期中）Plants need phosphorus(磷) to grow. At first, people used organic or natural fertilizer. In1842 English agricultural chemist John Bennet Lawes patented a process for treating phosphorus-rich bones and rocks with acid, making it easier for plants to obtain, and soon the world’s first human -made fertilizer began selling.Later scientists discovered that phosphorus was a bit tricky. The fertilizer Lawes produced contained a form of phosphorus that plants can easily use. But as soon as the phosphorus hit the soil, a large part of it reacted with soil minerals, forming substances that crops can’t access. Some also got locked away in equally unavailable organic forms.So scientists concluded farmers shouldn’t cut back phosphorus. They should use more, especially as they raced to feed the world’s growing populations during the 20th century. In fact, it was once soil scientist Paul Withers’ job to spread the word. As a government farm advisor in the 1980s, he drove a red V olvo station wagon around the winding roads of rural England telling farmersto make sure their crops got plenty of key nutrients. This method, which Withers calls “insurance-based farming”, is still widely used around the world.But is the large amount of unused phosphorus in the soil-so-called legacy (遗漏的) phosphorus actually as difficult to obtain as scientists once thought? English crop scientist Roger Sylvester-Bradley has taken a first common sense step: They stopped adding phosphorus fertilizer to half the barley field to see how the plants would grow. Eight years later, they have only just started to observe the first signs of phosphorus shortage. Barbara Cade-Menun, who oversees similar experiments in Canada, says, “Our production isn’t changing. ”“The plants can use our mistakes from the past,” says Sheida Sattari, whose 2012 analysis found global soils contain enough legacy phosphorus to cut the expected demand for new fertilizer in half by 2050.1．What was the disadvantage of Lawes’fertilizer?A．The cost of producing it was a bit high.B．Too much of it would do harm to plants.C．It could only be partly absorbed by plants.D．It led to the loss of some minerals in the soil.2．What was Withers’ attitude to phosphorus overuse?A．He felt uncertain of it.B．He was in favor of it.C．He was worried about it.D．He showed no interest in it.3．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?A．The increasing costs of fertilizer.B．The shortage of phosphorus resources.C．The ineffectiveness of “insurance-based farming ”.D．The phosphorus pollution of the environment.4．What do Sattari’s words mean in the last paragraph?A．Crops can live on legacy phosphorus.B．Phosphorus is a necessity to grow crops.C．Unused phosphorus is causing big trouble.优点英语D．It is wrong to use a large amount of phosphorus.B（2023上·福建泉州·高二福建省德化第一中学校联考阶段练习）If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this logic, it implies that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help detect abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might reveal signs of some diseases.A new study shows that analysis of a city’s wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor everything from drug use to diet and even mental health.Wastewater surveillance has become an essential tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This innovative approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to detect and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria, and parasites (寄生虫). By monitoring the genetic material of them in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive.It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially be detected in wastewater.But for wastewater surveillance to fulfill its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear. 5．Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 1?A．To reveal some signs of physical illness.B．To introduce a method to detect diseases.C．To explain the importance of diet to health.D．To illustrate the value of studying bodily waste.6．What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance over other sampling techniques?A．It serves more purposes.B．It requires a higher budget.C．It protects residents’ privacy.D．It is more difficult to sample.7．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The development of wastewater surveillance.B．The means of wastewater testing for poor areas.C．The application of wastewater in disease detection.D．The potential of wastewater in identifying criminals.8．What is the author’s attitude towards wastewater surveillance?A．Hopeful.B．Cautious.C．Negative.D．Indifferent.五、七选五·高二桂林中学校联考阶段练习）When meeting someone for the first time,（2023上·广西Here are four more.Ignore the context10 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings.

But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached.11 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 12优点英语Compare your behavior with their cultureMost of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 13 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.A．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.B．They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.C．What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.D．In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.E．What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.六、完形填空（2023上·河北邢台·高二宁晋中学校联考阶段练习）Liu Xiaoyu, the Chinese-Canadian ever won first place in the 18th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others.A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the world’s oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planet’s atmosphere.The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the coming decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planet’s poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters.A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,which haven’t lived in the area for about 40 million years. It’s easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica.A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) thanat normal conditions—which is bad news for the shellfishes they live on.Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warming—along with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destruction—could change once complex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By making comparisons.D.By making classifications.2.What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?A.They are native to Antarctic waters.B.They do harm to the whole ecosystem.C.They’re adaptable to warmer water conditions.D.They threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.3.What will ocean warming likely bring about?A.Promoting the growth of starfish.B.An ecosystem of smaller creatures.C.Different food sources for sea creatures.D.Damaging living places of deep-sea species.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To explain why ocean warming benefit some species.B.To introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.C.To clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.D.To show which creatures will benefit from warmer oceans.7、 The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile labor atory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems."For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver's problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road8、 When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years b efore, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, an d not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.1.Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?A.He was talking fast.B.He was shocked.C.He was in a hurry.D.He was absent-minded.2.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley?A.He enjoyed the drink.B.He wanted to be helpful.C.He took the chance to rest.D.He tried to please his dad.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system” in Paragraph 2?A.Recover from her sadness.B.Move out of the neighborhood.C.Turn to her old friends.D.Speak out about her past.4.What does the author think people in a community should do?A.Open up to others.B.Depend on each other.C.Pay for others’ help.D.Care about one another.完形填空9、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2014-2015高二英语寒假作业(一)
高二英语寒假作业（一）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne of the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.【小题1】What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.【小题2】Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture【小题3】What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.BExperts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to connect Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored (共同赞助) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin. There is direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air and sea at the moment. Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding(资金). There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits （海峡）.A professor of Tsinghua University said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning andhad been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would pass Jinmen and Penghu.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.1. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.B. The English Channel Tunnel.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn't mention it.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored (赞助) the plan.B. If the project is completed, the world's longest tunnel will appear.C. You can reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.3. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows _______.A. it's not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD. the preparation takes longer time than the construction4. What is the major difficulty in carrying out the plan?A. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.B. The lack of money for the project from the government.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.CSydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast ofAustralia's largest city in a month．The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing （扭动） about in the water," police said．"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said．Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters．【小题1】The report mainly tells us _______．A．shark attacks on humans are on the riseB．sharks attacked humans three times in one monthC．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beachD．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches【小题2】The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______．A．attracted B．dragged C．bit D．packed【小题3】What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia．B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House．C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round．D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches．【小题4】All the followings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______．A．environmental protection has created a cleaner environmentB．a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbersC．many shark species are protected in Australia watersD．the film Jaws made the Great White famousDIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.1．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A．To leave messages. B．To write down a flash of inspirationC．To note down maths problems. D．To list her everyday tasks..2. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B.. It should be passed on to the next generation.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D . It needs to be replaced by a better one3. The author feels embarrassed for .A. not making good use of time as her mother did.B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.C.. blaming her mother wronglyD. not making any breakthrough in her field.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.B. The family members like traveling.C. The author had little time to play when young.D. The mother is successful in her career.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】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。

It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus〔胎儿〕in uterus〔子宫〕at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’sthighs〔大腿〕. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s ha nds were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testi ng for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?〞“The child reached out,〞I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,〞 she responded.The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦(duì jiāo)). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改(cuàngǎi)) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.〞【小题(xiǎo tí)1】What may be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing MomentB. A Pitiful FetusC. An Honorable Job as a PhotographerD. An Impressive Surgeon【小题(xiǎo tí)2】 In 1999, people believed that it was ________.A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to surviveB. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormalC. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operationD. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation【小题(xiǎo tí)3】From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.A. challenging but successfulB. demanding and unsuccessfulC. simple and shortD. long-lasting and difficult 【小题(xiǎo tí)4】The underlined “It〞 in paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. the uterusB. the arm of the fetusC. the pictureD. the head of the fetusBMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of Engl and’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ―people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not u sing the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters〔使用(shǐyòng)月票上下班者〕．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2021, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps〞 have been designed． Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app〞, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam〞 on your phone screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction〔消遣(xiāoqiǎn)〕of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in〞 to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．CI was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch〔门廊(mén lánɡ)〕, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to callin some wildlife control people.On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside.I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer〔除臭剂〕and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again.Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…〞 The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t continue contributing my husband’s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes.All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones.【小题1】What did the author think of the squirrel at first? A．Troublesome. B．Dangerous. C．Interesting. D．Clever. 【小题2】Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again? A．She worried about the safety of the squirrel.B．She thought the company charged too much.C．She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.D．She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?A．Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.B．The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.C．The author has developed affection for the squirrel.D．The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.内容总结（1）〔寒假总发动〕2021年高二英语寒假作业专题08 综合测试〔八〕〔测〕〔含解析〕时间是：60分钟满分是：100 得分：I．单项填空〔一共15小题。

AA German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus（马戏团）and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.21. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.22. Why did the Russians say “Be carefu l, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.23. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and IraqBMy son has poliomyelitis (小二麻痹症) and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind oftreatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something[ wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them i n the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the p ressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.29. The author’s son was laughed at by his classmates, because _____________.A. he didn’t do well in his lessonsB. he walked in a strange wayC. he was from a poor familyD. he often burst into tears30. After hearing what the mother said, the son ______________.A. quarreled with his mother and left home angrilyB. went to school unwillingly with speaking anythingC. burst out crying complaining about his bad experienceD. didn’t say anything without eating or sleeping for two days31. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. The boy was brave to face any difficulty after being encouraged by his mother.B. The boy achieve success and was admitted to a famous university.C. The boy finally could walk like a normal child after some treatments.D. The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them32. From the passage we can say that the boy is _________________.A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveCWith the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mailsystem, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications TechnologyB. The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC. The Process of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.A. encouragingB. disappointingC. satisfyingD. embarrassing34. The passage implies that _______________.A. modern technology is bridging the peopleB. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too rapidlyD. modern technology is interrupting our lives35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.C. We can be far away from them forever.D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.DI was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had alwaysmanaged to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son o bey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.27. How did the author’s fat her feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. Relieved第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my goodclothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(钎) one year to be usedfor that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see thatthe highway department had mowed the ditches and the pret ty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way t o go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”A week ago we that my oldest si ster-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than myhusband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked.I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.1.

Meghan watched seriously 23 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.While I 24 our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 25 some of their less favorite things. Meghanwatched 26 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.The boys placed the toys they had 27 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 28 tightly to her chest.

MoreoverAEver since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified ( 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true." said Bill Christison, Presidentof the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution（分配） and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food,according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops havelittle to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which "green" farming is supposed to be the first choice.36.The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________.A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by examplesD. by supposition （37.What does the underlined word "boost" in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Control.B. EvaluateC. Obtain.D. Increase.38.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from________.A. practicing "green" farmingB. use of less chemicalsC. fair distribution of their cropsD. using more crops for fuel39.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?A. Optimistic.B. Defensive.C. Disapproving.D. Pessimistic.BThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in thebackground. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.40. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene41. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography42. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.43. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A. They express people's curiosity about the past.B. They make people interested in everyday experience.C. They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.CMini Book Excerpts（节选）BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J.

My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.

When you recognize your teen is under stress，how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam? Be involved.

Encourage yourteen to express his worries and fears，but don't let them focus on those fears. Help them get organized. 52 Together，you andyour teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test. Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It's important for your teen to eat a healthy，balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.53 If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.

Every evening then I am doing homework and at weekends when I at home, I always play some of my favorite songs on my tape recorder. The familiar patterns of notes attract me into the colourfully world of music. Now and then I stopped to follow the songs. Sometimes, my mother comes in, asked me to fix my attention to my homework. She does not like the pop music. Like most grown-ups, she enjoys folk songs, because the peaceful music reminds her of their beautiful life when she was young. It is a truth which people of different age understand music differently and enjoy different kinds of music.假如你是王飞，今天你收到了好友李磊的一封信。

高二英语寒假作业（八）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.Take rubber（橡胶） for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial（商业的）rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.1. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of __________.A. natural rubberB. tropical grassC. man-made materialD. tropical tree2. In the last paragraph the author tries to _________.A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestationB. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forestsC. persuade people to buy something syntheticD. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation3. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is __________.A. puzzlingB. coldC. supportingD. opposedBAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Meansof Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Charles Darwin’s ideasB. Charles Darwin’s worksC. Father of modern biology: Charles DarwinD. The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin2. Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.A. make him like natural historyB. make him become a doctorC. let him change his hobbiesD. have him give up his collection3. According to th e passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.A. his study at Cambridge UniversityB. his collection of coinsC. the naturalists at CambridgeD. the voyage of the Beagle4. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”.A. they gave monkeys lifeB. they were different from monkeysC. they were developed from monkeysD. they had to live with monkeysCSo great is our passion for doing things for ourselves that we are being increasingly less dependent on specialized labour.No one can plead ignorance（对。

This would be a good opportunity to 20 my children, soI explained their difficult 21 to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll 22 what we have with them.”I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously 23 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.While I 24 our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 25 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 26 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.The boys placed the toys they had 27 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 28 tightly to her chest. She 29 in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a 30 kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.“Oh, honey,” I said. “You 31 to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”Meghan nodded, eye s shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. 32 she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”I stared at Meghan for a long moment, 33 how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but 34 to let go of things we cherish, isn’ t it? 35 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.16.

But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true." said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution（分配） and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which "green" farming is supposed to be the first choice.36.The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________.A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by examplesD. by supposition （37.What does the underlined word "boost" in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Control.B. EvaluateC. Obtain.D. Increase.38.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ________.A. practicing "green" farmingB. use of less chemicalsC. fair distribution of their cropsD. using more crops for fuel39.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?A. Optimistic.B. Defensive.C. Disapproving.D. Pessimistic.BThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.40. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene41. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography42. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.43. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A. They express people's curiosity about the past.B. They make people interested in everyday experience.C. They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.CMini Book Excerpts（节选）BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J.

None ofus was allowed the measure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children.

高二英语寒假作业（八）第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.Take rubber（橡胶） for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial（商业的）rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide intooxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.1. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of __________.A. natural rubberB. tropical grassC. man-made materialD. tropical tree2. In the last paragraph the author tries to _________.A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestationB. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forestsC. persuade people to buy something syntheticD. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation3. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is __________.A. puzzlingB. coldC. supportingD. opposedBAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the thingsthat interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was stillworking on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Charles Darwin’s ideasB. Charles Darwin’s worksC. Father of modern biology: Charles DarwinD. The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin2. Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.A. make him like natural historyB. make him become a doctorC. let him change his hobbiesD. have him give up his collection3. According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.A. his study at Cambridge UniversityB. his collection of coinsC. the naturalists at CambridgeD. the voyage of the Beagle4. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys”probably means “_____”.A. they gave monkeys lifeB. they were different from monkeysC. they were developed from monkeysD. they had to live with monkeysCSo great is our passion for doing things for ourselves thatwe are being increasingly less dependent on specialized labour.No one can plead ignorance（对。
