The following are a few study tips for exams, which will help you to answer your papers with confidence.32 . It is better to have all the study material with you before you start reading. This not only includes your texts and notes but also things like a dictionary and reference books with you.Study in advance. 33 . What most of the students do is to study only the so-called important points. As a result, even if the paper is easy, you get a low score. So start studying at least a month before the exams. If time does not permit you to learn your lessons, at least go through them regularly.Understand the lessons. Do not just recite the answers. Try to understand what you are reading for this is the best method for good recall at the time of exams. The major disadvantage of reciting the answers is that even if you forget one word of the answer during your examination, you are likely to go completely blank. 34 .Follow some effective study skills. There are some easy ways to study well, like reading the lesson casually, at least twice. 35 . When you start reading for the second time, read those underlined points first and then the rest of the text. Before going to exams, read only the underlined points. This is one of the last minute study tips for exams.A. Set down the study material beforehand.B. Collect the study material.C. But how do you deal with the pressure in study?D. This happens because of improper planning and too much stress.E. And while reading, mark the important points with a pencil and move on.F. The most common mistake that students make is that they start studying a day or twobefore exams!G. Instead of this, if you understand the lesson well, you can write the answer on your own atany time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）31-35.

We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. For the most part, though, these relatively minor annoyances are easy to deal with, but walking back your anger when you're having a heated conversation with someone is a lot more difficult. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though.1. Acknowledge that you're angry.When you're angry,you notice it in your body. 32 If you're not physically feeling it, you might hear it in the sound of your voice.Once you notice this, try to adjust your voice. Just as increasing anger can correspond to an increasingly loud voice, so can the opposite. 332. Give yourself a time out.How do you do the exercise above when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation? Call a personal timeout. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding. This also aids in decreasing anger.Of course, don't just peace out of the argument. Let whoever you're talking to know that you just need a little physical space.3. Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger.34 More often than not, anger is a “secondary emotion” we use as a mask or a defense for an entirely different feeling (shame, for instance, or embarrassment).Once you're aware of the real emotions at play, you can communicate it to the person you snapped at. Also, you'd apologize to your co-worker and perhaps consider asking your manager to lighten your workload.4.35Let's say you've taken the advice above, but you're still feeling heated. If so,changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment. 36 If you were discussing something serious-or something that needs to be explained finally-table the discussion for later or the next day, when you calm down.A. Change the subject of the conversation.B. Stop the conversation with your partner.C. Anger will do damage to your lungs and heart.D.Try responding to your loud voice by gradually lowering it.E.Now that you've calmed down, think about what's motivating your anger.F.Make a joke and reroute the conversation to a safe, calm, enjoyable dialogue.G. Anger will often cause changes in our body, such as muscle tension or sore neck.七选五：32—36 GDEAF山东省实验中学2020-2021学年度第一学期期中考试高二英语试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Seeing Mary,she smiled politely and said "Hi,I'm Linda. I am the next one!"

How much money will they spend?A. 150 yuan.B. 100 yuan.C. 165 yuan.D. 120 yuan.CMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN（个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the sy stems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “ How will I live without them?”64. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.65. What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.66. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because________.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice67. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealistD. An experienced teacher.DCan a person make it rain? Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盘). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸发), they attracted rain clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert.One of Mr. Hatfield’s most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water, Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full. Filling the lake would help。

June were good friends and spent most of their time together.They were both very old and they worried about their health.Most of the time they talked about nothing else.They worried about their food.Was it clean?Would it give them pains in the stomach?They worried about the weather.Was it too cold and wet?Would it give them pains in their bones?They worried about pollution in the air.Would it give them pains in their chests and throats?They worried about being hurt in a car accident,killed in a plane crash,getting sick,and so on.All they could think about was being ill or hurt.One day they went on a train journey together.“We’ll need some food,”Pearl said.“We’ll buy some bananas,”June said.“They are good to eat and always clean.”And so they bought two bananas to eat on the train.It was not long before they were hungry.Pearl took out the bananas and gave one to June.Then she peeled(剥)the skin of her banana and took a large bite of it.At that moment the train went into a

it has ever been.It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home.It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes,and also how healthy it is.However,eating out can also be expensive,so British people do not eat out every night.When having a date with friends,or having a birthday,many people like to go to a restaurant,and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.As in all cultures,there are many rules of manners about eating.The knife and fork should be used in the correct way.It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food,from the very cheap to the very expensive——French,Italian,Indian,Chinese,Thai,Japanese and many,many more.When people are too tired to cook after work,they often get a“takeaway”.This means that they order from a take-out restaurant by telephone,and then go to get it.Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house.All you have to do is to open the door,pay and eat!66.When do British people often eat in a

AA student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”“My young friend,” answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the teacher, “are you not much happier than if you had hidden theshoes?”21. When the student saw the shoes, he wanted to _____.A. steal themB. find their ownerC. play a joke on the ownerD. give the owner some money22. According to the passage, the teacher is _____.A. quiet and honestB. kind and friendlyC. patient and cleverD. strict and careful23. When the farmer saw the second coin, he _____.A. was very excited and gratefulB. was worried and looked up at the skyC. was surprised and decided to find the ownerD. spoke of his difficulties and asked for more helpBAmerican and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say each words separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?”. However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English.Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you " phone them up". In America, you "give them a call". When you are saying goodbye in England you might say "Cheerio!" In America you might say " See you later. "There 're also some differences in grammar. For example, Americansusually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question. They say "Do you have a storybook?" But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say " Have you a storybook?"All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is very different from the French of France.24. What does the author think of the differences between American and British English?A. American and British English are the same language.B. American and British English are quite different.C. Although American English came from the British English, there are still some important differences.D. There are slight differences between American and British English.25. What does the underlined word " separate" in Paragraph 2mean?A. Together.B. One by one.C. In common.D. In different ways.26. What does the underlined sentence "The same thing is true of some British words in America." mean?A. The words of American and British English are the same.B. The spelling of American and British English is the same.C. Although they don't sound the same, the words are the same.D. Some British English words are not used in American English.27. How many ways are talked about the differences between American and British English in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.CA man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting forhim at the door.“Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”“If you must know, I make ＄20 each hour.”“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me ＄10?”The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish (自私)！”The little boy went to his room no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed (平静) down, and s tarted to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on your just now.” said the man, “Here’s ＄10.”“Oh, thank you Daddy！” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have ＄20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. ”28 How much does the boy’s father make one hour?A. ＄10B. ＄20C. ＄30D. ＄4029.

Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .32.
