Bali is a small island that is part of Indonesia (印度尼西亚) today. It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. For a long time, Bali was cut off from much of the world.The people of Bali were happy and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight.Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders(边界), the people could not fight about them.On Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone separated them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk together for months; this gave the boys a chance to forget their anger.Families who were angry with each other also promised not to speak.

Little did I know then how much English would be a part of m y life one day.Many years later, I was the manager of a company in Germany. Communication with a lot of people from different countries was just one of many daily tasks. I was having no problem understanding and communicating with any of them with one big exception: my boss is from England and English, spoken by British people, will always be my biggest challenge.In 1998, I moved to the Bahamas. And I realized I was lost when it came to small talk. Thank God, it did not take me long to have personal conversations. About a year after my move, I realized that I even started dreaming in English and all my thoughts came in English as well. It’s kind of funny when you experience that, especially since I lived most of my life in Germany.Three years ago I met my husband, who is from Liverpool. The first couple of months I had headaches just from concentrating so hard on what he was saying. One part of our conversations in the beginning of our relationship became famous in our circle of friends. Let me share it with you: here we are, sitting on the sofa, having a nice conversation and during that conversation he asked me: “Honey, how many holes do you have in your ear?”Strange question, I thought but answered anyway.“Three in my left and two in my right.”I answered. I had not even finished my sentence when he broke out in fits of laughter. When he finally caught his breath, he said, “Ho ney, my question was how many holidays do you have in a year?” and started laughing again.Even though I have lived and worked in an English Speaking country now for over eight years, there are still words I don’t know. There are still times when I can’t find the right word to express myself.8. When the author was young, she ________.A. liked her English teacherB. believed English was important to herC. didn’t think English was easy to learnD. didn’t try very hard to learn English9. After the author came to the Bahamas, she ________.A. failed to dream in EnglishB. Tried to learn business EnglishC. found it difficult to make small talkD. found she was good at personal conversation10. Why did the author’s husband laugh?A. she told a funny story.B. She misheard his question.C. He saw her strange ear holes.D. He misunderstood her answer.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Challenges of learning EnglishB. How to learn English efficientlyC. The importance of learning EnglishD. How my husband taught me EnglishDAs thousands of communities in the USA — especially in the South — became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.Education programs needed to be built from scratch. “We had no teaching resources suitable for Engli sh learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English — an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students, but it's also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle,” said Ji m D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.”Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.12. According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing?A. Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities.B. Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states.C. Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents.D. Providing education for non-native English learners.13. The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.A. completely newB. painful to makeC. based on past experienceD. constructed gradually14. What is one of the things the school leaders have done to deal with the problems?A. Provide more Spanish-only classes.B. Use bilingual parents as part-time teachers.C. Train their teachers to speak Spanish.D. Invite more teachers from other places.15. What do we know about the immigrant parents?A. Many of them cannot speak English.B. Most of them think education is not important.C. Some of them feel skeptical about the local community.D. Few of them have attended American schools.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满10分）●Does failure truly exist?In fact, if you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 16 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.17Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 18 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.It’s a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 19 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be co mpleted yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 20 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.A. Never give up on yourself.B. Failure only exists in your own mind!C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.第二部分：语言知识运用（共两节；满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）根据短文内容，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ALook at the map of Spain and point at the center. You've located the country's capital and one of Europe's most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe's largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid's most beautiful building.Inside the Royal Palace, 2800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum－quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.ArtThe Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that featurethe world's most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europe's best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.EntertainmentNo trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain's famous art form--flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.FoodMadrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it's difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, a kind of dry－cured ham: Spain is famous for it.21. What do we know about the Royal Palace in Madrid?A. It has 50 rooms for visit.B. It can hold 2, 800 people.C. It's been visited by 3 million people.D. It is thought to be the largest in Europe.22. What kind of market is “the Rastro”？A. For potential buyersB. For artworks.C. To sell various goods.D. To sell antiques and CDs.23. What is a must when travelling in Madrid?A. Having dinner earlier.B. Enjoying flamenco.C. Visiting Prado Museum.D. Drinking in a tapas bar.BPhillida Eves and her husband Tedd Hamilton weren’t unhappy living in the Galway countryside with their sons, Clan and Oisin, and their daughter, Soracha. “We had a lovely home, a car, lots of friends, and weekends sailing our boat.” Says Phillida.“But there’s a line from a poem that goes: ‘Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?’ That says it all for me. We felt that there was more to life.”So they quit their jobs, took their sons, then aged six and nine, out of school and went to southern Spain where they bought a 15-metre yacht(游艇) and headed up the coast to Barcelona. Soracha was not even three. And they brought along Poppy, the family dog. Now, two and a half years and 10,000 km later, they don’t intend to stop. Tedd is a yacht engineer and can find work in ports. But, says Phillida, a supply teacher(代课老师), “Any family could do this.”The children are home-schooled using a correspondence course(函授课程). My son had a recent project on the weather. The weather is vital to us. My son knows more than most adults about weather systems, compasses, maps and directions. The weather, for him, means life or death.Other subjects have become equally vivid. “They’re learning geography and history all the time. We’ve sailed round Italy, Sardinia, Sicily, and seen tiny islands we didn’t know. The kids learned about ancient Romans by visiting Rome. One summer off the Italian coast we sailed past a volcano at 2 a.m. We woke the kids. There it was, under the moon, with fire coming out of the top—you don’t get that in a textbook.”But what about social development? Again, Phillida is sanguine. “The children have become much more socially confident since we set out. They play with tones of families of all nationalities on other boats we meet.”Living for the moment, they believe, is a huge life lesson. “Our children never say they’re bored.” The other day they stopped mid-ocean and the kids swam, 110 km from land. “That’s the kind of freedom we want for them,” says Phillida. “That’s the kind of freedom they’ve got.”24. The couple quit their jobs and took their children travelling because .A. their children wanted to make friends of all nationalities.B. they wanted to experience more in their lives.C. their children wanted completed freedom.D. they were unhappy with their lives.25. The underlined word “sanguine” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ““.A. patientB.optimisticC. excitedD. curious26. The author describes the children’s home-schooling by .A.following the order of importance.B. making comparisonsC. using examples.D. describing the changes in space order27. What can we learn about the family from the text?A. They plan to stop for a rest.B. They have toured for more than 3 years.C. They believe any family can do the same thing as they can do.D. They have made several geographical and historical discoveries.CSpending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts (增进) happiness, according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time press ure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks.’’The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how muchwe hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’28.In the Canadian experiment, the participants .A.were divided into two groupsB.were given $ 40 every two weeksC.were asked to give mo ney to a neighbor’s kidD.were asked to spend the money in different ways29.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A.Paying much for a concert ticket.B.Taking a regular bus to get to work.C.Employing someone to clean the garden.D.Buying themselves an expensive present.30.When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, .A.no people would like to do itB.a small percentage of people choose to do itC.more people will do it if extra money is givenD.most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life31.What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The good old-fashioned guilt.B. The feeling of spending money on goods.C. The stress of having someone clean your house.D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.DDear Alcohol，You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life? I do. He lovesyou. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I'm so embarrassed,” they said as I patted them on the back so that they could vomit(呕吐). “I'm sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walki ng them out and paying the drivers in advance. “This won't happe n again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it at all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy, too, from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring(引诱) the people I love. Stop hurting me, please!Sincerely，Anonymous32. What is author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

高二年级英语科目期中考试试卷考试时间：100分钟命题范围：必修四Unit4-5必修五 Unit1-2 人教版 试卷分值：120分第一部分 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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A With Disney parks recently raising their ticket prices to $89 now ，it is the perfect time to startthinking about smaller, regional theme parks. Here are four theme parks where the daily price of adult admission is under $50. Luna Park, Coney Island, NY. How much you spend in enjoying Luna Park really depends on which rides you choose to go on. For anyone as indecisive as I am, stick with the $29 four-hour Unlimited Luna Park Ride Wristband or the $39 Ride and Play package, a four-hour unlimited ride wristband that comes with a $20 game card. Dorney Park, Allentown, PA. Dorney Park is a popular theme park located about an hour outside of Philadelphia. Kids love Planet Snoopy, a fun area with attractions centered around the lovable Snoopy. Adult tickets are available online for $39.99 (or at the gate for $49.99) and kids are $27.99 online or ($29.99 at the gate). You can also buy a Starlight Admission ($27.99 online or at the gate), good for visits between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. during the summer months when the park is open late, or from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. when the park closes earlier. Knotts Berry Farm, Buena Park, CA. Home to some of the country’s craziest rides, Knotts Berry Farm also has calmer, more family-friendly rides. Ages 12-61 get in for $39.99 when tickets are bought online, while children ages 3-11 and adults over 62 pay $26.99. Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, CA. Sitting on the warm beaches of Santa Cruz — about 90 minutes south of San Francisco — the Boardwalk is home to big roller coasters, mini-golf, enough food and games to keep people of all ages busy. The best part? An all-day unlimited rides wristband is only $31.95. 21. All of the four theme parks _____. A. have calm rides B. are family-friendly C. require online bookings D. are cheaper than Disney parks 22. The Ride and Play package at Luna Park costs you _____. A. $20 B. $29 C. $39 D. $59 23. What can we learn about the Starlight Admission at Dorney Park? A. It is aimed for kids. B. It can be used twice. C. It is designed for summer use. D. It’s for visits in the later part of a day.B The importance of body languageWhen we connect with a person, we also have to make it clear to each other how the content of a spoken message needs to be made clear. Often words are inadequate for this purpose. For instance班 级: 姓 名: 考场： 考 号: 座位号： ……………密………………封………………线………………内………………请………………勿………………答………………题……………we do not tell each other that easily how we feel about each other, or how the words of a message need to be made clear. To make the meaning of our words clear we use body language. It is a language without spoken words and is therefore called non verbal communication. We use body language all the time, looking someone in the eyes means something different than not looking someone in the eyes.Usually body language occurs unconsciously. Yet the body language we use decides the quality of our communication. It follows that therefore it would be good to become aware of our own and others’ body language. We can learn to use our body language for a purpose. As well as learn to understand body language of others, it is important to note that body language has different meanings in different cultures. How we can interpret body language depends on the situation, the culture, the relationship we have with the person as well as the gender of the other. This means that there is not one signal that has the same meaning all over the world. If you do not take this into account you may get yourself in some serious trouble! Body language is also interlinked with spoken language and a whole pattern of behavior from a person. Some groups have developed a whole specific body language which can be very open in its meaning and is used to communicate where the use of words may otherwise be difficult or dangerous. Examples of this are mostly groups, such as gay people, people in slavery, prisoners, etc. who have a history of prejudice against them from the dominant culture on.24.The word “inadequate in the first paragraph means _____.A. not enoughB. not justC. not fairD. not pure25. The non verbal communication in the first paragraph refers to _______.A. body languageB. spoken languageC. oral languageD. written language26. How we understand body language is linked to ________.①situation ②culture ③ relationship ④ genderA. ①②B. ①②③C. ①③④D. ①②③④CLeo Baekeland never gave up his dream of creating a special kind of plastic(塑料)that would keep its form after it cooled .

内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.In the middle of the 20th century people were worried about whales.The number of whales killed worldwide came up to 66,000 per year.However,people weren't worried about the whale as an endangeredanimal.Instead,they were worried about the whale industry,which would disappear if there were no whales.In 1946,the International Whaling Commission was established.It limited the whale hunting for every country and controlled the whale industry.But the commission recognized that the limitation wasn't enough.They set a worldwide law against hunting whales with only two exceptions: the hunt for scientific research and "aboriginal whaling".Aboriginal whaling allows some countries to hunt a limited number of whales because it is a part of their culture.Some countries like Japan and Norway don't care about the law;they make excuses to hunt whales and sell the products.They only care about the money.Many fishermen complain that dolphins,also a kind of whale,steal their fish.Therefore,they kill thousands of them.In fact,this is not the truth.In reality there are so many fishermen who steal the fish from each other.Some whale hunters say that they catch the animals for scientists.They have to research what whales are eating.For that, they kill them and look into their stomach.The truth is that they only want to sell the meat.Today scientists want to observe live whales for their research.Many whale families are not protected and thousands of them are killed.Nobody knows if all whale families would survive,even if humans end all whale hunting today.The pollution of the oceans increases fast and the poison gets into the bodies of the animals.Many of them get sick and die.The human being has killed 90%-95% of many whale families.Others are already extinct.Today some international organizations try to protect whales.They make reports to explain how important and endangered whales are.Now people are becoming more interested in whales and a complete new industry has developed,whale watching,which you may want to learn about.【1】The text is mainly about .A．whale industry B．whale researchC．whale product D．whale protection【2】In the middle of the 20th century,what people really worried was that .A．more whales would be killed worldwide per yearB．the whale would become an endangered animalC．the whale industry would disappearD．the law against hunting whales would come into effect【3】Why does Aboriginal whaling allow some countries to hunt a limited number of whales?A．Because there are many whales in their countries.B．Because hunting whales is a part of their culture.C．Because they only care about money.D．Because they live on hunting whales.【4】Why do many fishermen complain about dolphins?A．Because dolphins steal their fish.B．Because they want to make an excuse for killing dolphins.C．Because there are so few dolphins for them to hunt.D．Because people have misunderstood their purpose of hunting dolphins.2.I'm a 20-year-old boy,and the following is my story.A month after I graduated from high school in August,2007,I was coming home from swim practice in the trainingcentre of the city and was involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around.At that time,it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were completely destroyed.But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to make every great effort to learn to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live on my own again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to Go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf,Maryland.After I spent a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle that I was able to walk again,but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but also run.When it came true,I wanted to get back into the pool again.After having a few lung tests,I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary's College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them.I remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members.I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.【1】The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of " ".A．operation B．unconsciousnessC．treatment D．emergency【2】According to Paragraph 3,it can be inferred that the author .A．was unable to talk or communicate B．was in despairC．faced physical and mental challenges D．felt anxious about his state【3】In the last paragraph,the author mainly wants to show .A．his positive influence on other patients B．his meaningful lifeC．his purpose of sharing his story D．his great achievements【4】The best title for the passage would be " ".A．Actions speak louder than words B．Attitude is everythingC．Everything happens for a reason D．A Good beginning is half done3.After giving a talk at a high school,I was asked to pay a visit to a special student.An illness had kept the boy home,but he had expressed an interest in meeting me.I was told it would mean a great deal to him,so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home,I found out something about Matthew.He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）.When he was born,the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,and then they were told he would not make it to ten.Now he was thirteen.He wanted to meet me because I was a Gold-medal powerlifter,and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew.Never once did he complain or ask,"Why me?"He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams.Obviously,he knew what he was talking about.He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different.He just talked about his hopes for the future,and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.When we had finished talking,I went to my briefcase（公文包）and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck.I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would.He looked at it for a moment,then took it off and handed it back to me.He said,"You are a champion.You earned that medal.Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal,I will show it to you."Last summer I received a letter from Matthew's parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more,but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal,but I know now I will never get to do that.However,I know I'm achampion,and God knows that too.When I get to Heaven,God will give me my medal and when you get there,I will show it to you.Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew【1】The boy looked forward to meeting the author because .A．he was also good at weight liftingB．he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medalC．he was one of the author's fansD．he admired the author very much【2】The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that .A．the boy never complained about how unlucky he was to have this diseaseB．the boy never complained about not being able to go to schoolC．the boy never complained why the author had never come to see him beforeD．the boy never complained about not getting a medal【3】Matthew didn't accept the author's medal because .A．he thought it was too expensiveB．he was sure that he could win one in the futureC．he thought it was of no use to him as he would die soonD．he would not be pitied by others【4】What would be the best title for this passage?A．A sick boy.B．A special friend.C．A real champion.D．A famous athlete.4.Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.Mr.Sammut also said,"In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him.It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being.""In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050.To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments.This will require major advances in perception（感知）,decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviors.Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors（传感器）,energy storage,and materials."【1】The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth .A．in 1968B．in 1978C．in the 1990s D．30 years ago【2】We can conclude from Mr.Sammut's words that .A．robots would be smarter than human beings in the near futureB．robots have more ambitions than human beingsC．robots would take control of the worldD．many parts of robots still need improving【3】What's the best title for this passage?A．Scientists' Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players.B．Robot Football Players to Beat World's Best by 2050.C．Robot Football Players' Bright Future.D．Mr Sammut—the Father of Robot Football Players二、其他【1】Self-worth is very important in your life. We may love others, but we need to learn to love ourselves. We have to believe in what we do, and feel better about ourselves. If you do not have self-worth, you may begin to get discouraged.Avoid negative people in your life.【2】If these people put you down, do not believe in you, or treat you badly, why are you still around them? It took me years to realize this for myself, and it is true. Negative people hurt your self-worth, and bring you down emotionally. Get closer to people that believe in you. If you do not have these positive people in your life, find a support group that can help you.【3】Your self-worth can be increased greatly with positive guide.Find employment or volunteer somewhere you feel valued, or can make a difference.

It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But ifhe comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away."You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you.""But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor."A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.""I can," answered the captain."If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?""There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore.""But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily." A fire's fire, you said," answered the sailor.

You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink maybe just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.【1】Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______.A．they have beautiful colors and cool namesB．they can keep them awake and better at sportsC．they have lots of caffeineD．they are said to be helpful to health【2】The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with ______.A．encouraged B．dislikedC．helped D．stopped【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______A．What’s the Use of Energy Drinks?B．What’s That in Energy Drinks?C．Who Can Drink Energy Drinks?D．Why Can’t We Buy Energy Drinks?4.A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software(识别系统)that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.“The common security(安全)cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don’t necessarily know if it’s a human being or, ah, if it’s your k ids—they don’t’ know the difference, so they will warn you all the time.”When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes" (识别 ) them and sends information to the owner's smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smartphone. That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Darrmen. He lives in Paris."On a Friday I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself 'Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again. “But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the softw are did not recognize.”He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw."I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way. "With the help of the video, the police found the intruder (闯入者) later that day.【1】 The new camera made by Netatmo can ______ .A．warn the strangersB．recognize the comersC．stop the visitorsD．welcome the children【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______ .A．where the new camera is placedB．what the new camera looks likeC．when the new camera is usedD．how the new camera works【3】We can learn from the passage that Damien ______ .A．found the warning was a mistakeB．was too busy to notice the warningC．felt shocked to see a stranger in his flatD．caught the intruder by himself that day【4】 The writer proves(证明) the new camera works well by ______ .A．giving an example B．making a surveyC．doing an experiment D．having a speech三、其他根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would warn to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

It’s summer again and it’s time for a new you! No more make-up, no more pretending! Yes, that’s right! It’s time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕）or your eyes look small, or if you have crow’s feet? Guesswhat? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn’t think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we tend to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet thetruth is, by doing this, we are actually making our true skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up. What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves?So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer!

It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the center of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand. The city’s landscape is decided by volcanic hills, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world. Auckland has many volcanic hills, many of which cur rently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s geography is such that shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political center of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering(闪闪发光的) cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it takes your breath away. Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultur al and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.Wellington is host to an excellent Festival of the Arts every two years.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．The Landscape of New Zealand B．The Capital of New ZealandC．Auckland and Wellington D．Welcome to New Zealand【2】Auckland is the best city in New Zealand for people to ______________.A．study New Zealand culture B．see green hillsC．visit historic streets and buildings D．do water sports【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the cityscape in Wellington?A．Critical B．NeutralC．Preferable D．Indifferent4.Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps. Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.【1】What might be the best title for the passage?A．Celebrating Our Green Year.B．Protecting the Planet.C．Keeping Open-MindedD．Going Green.【2】It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A．they needed to perform unusual green tasksB．they didn't know how to educate other peopleC．they were unwilling to reduce their energyD．they were expected to follow the green fad【3】What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A．They ignore others' ungreen behavior.B．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.C．They chose better chemical cleaners.D．They sold their home-made food.【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The government will give support to the green people.B．Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.C．The couple may continue their project in the future.D．Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.二、完形填空When I was 17, I met a famous doctor named Paul Bragg.

内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试带答案解析
内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生). John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I reall y appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.”John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) student s can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!【1】According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John’s ______.A．PE marks B．self-confidenceC．interest in sports D．state of health【2】Why did John take part in the track team?A．He had been an excellent runner.B．He was encouraged by his teacher.C．He liked running more than tennis.D．He had no tennis coach to train him.【3】The purpose of this passage is probably ______.A．to build a close teacher-student relationshipB．to introduce a new way of sports trainingC．to explain the value of sports and gamesD．to show the importance of encouragement【4】The passage is mainly written for ______.A．teachers B．parentsC．students D．players2.Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information.Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.【1】The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A．take an adventureB．travel to EnglandC．try a new lifestyleD．hire a motorhome【2】What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Fast.B．Safe.C．Useful.D．Exciting.【3】Why should you book a motorhome early if you want to book one for this summer?A．Booking early is much cheaper.B．Summer is usually a very busy season.C．You can arrange your time better this way.D．Students usually book them to earn money.【4】The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motorhome by _________.A．telling us a storyB．giving detailed dataC．comparing it with flyingD．showing the results of a study3."How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How areyou?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the oth er person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong…" But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.【1】When a person in the United States asks "How are you?, he or she wants to hear " _______".A．How are you?B．Hello.C．I don't know.D．Fine.【2】When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_______".A．You're wrong. I disagree.B．I'm not sure.C．I'm sure I disagree.D．No, I disagree.【3】When a person says "I have to go now" "Someone's at the door", the person may be _______.A．giving an excuse B．hurting someone's feelingC．ill in bed D．asking you a question【4】What does the rule of the game of language probably mean?A．Be polite.B．Don't disagree with people.C．Always say what you mean.D．Never say exactly what you are thinking.4.When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story" shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22.year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just l5 years old. The effect of that LOSS became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. ".What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,'' she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is ''as simple as making a decision". 【1】In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A．b, a, e, c, d B．a, b, c, e, d C．e, d, b, a, c D．b, e, a, d, c【2】The main idea of the passage is_______.A．how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB．what a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC．why Liz loved her parents so muchD．how Liz struggled to change her life【3】What actually made her go towards her goal?A．Envy and encouragement.B．Willpower and determination.C．Decisions and understanding.D．Love and respect for her parents.二、信息匹配根据短文内容，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。

There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road. The wind was at rest and the leaves didn’t rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was already killing her, but no one knew what made her cry.Losing something you love with all your heart isn’t really the pain you can ever overcome. Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accident was terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.The whole time she walked with her child in her arms, the only thing that worried her was Aryan’s future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child’s growth, and figuring what she would have in store for him. But who knows what’s in store for us tomorrow? Life can change in a second.On that deserted road were a few street lights barely enough. It was this light that could be seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changed Radha’s life into darkness forever. A speeding car came downthat road. The driver came at a speed of 100 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk, and the speed took everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.But the mother wasn’t hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn’t see Aryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in panic for her baby, but alas… The child hadn’t even seen life.Simply, don’t drink and drive. You could take a life, but kill a number of people.4. The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 would probably mean ______.A. worriedB. scaredC. heart-brokenD. weather- beaten5.

Speeding from Drunk DrivingCA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive（强迫的）habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Decades ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual（虚拟的）life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate（使…孤立）themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share theiremotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the entire world.8. The main idea of the passage is about ______.A. the cause of weboholismB. the influence of weboholismC. the advantage of weboholismD. the popularity of weboholism9. The underlined word “obsessional ”in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. addictiveB. attractiveC. professionalD. potential10. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. weboholism has the greatest effects on teenagersB. people are addicted to games on the InternetC. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway11. The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being ______.A. optimisticB. neutralC. acceptableD. criticalDLast night's meteor (流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through thesky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frus trated，” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs，snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁移的)birds. According to the International DarkSky Association，“100 million bir ds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”More animals have been injured or killed as a result of the use of artificial lighting. Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has carried out lighting regulations（管制）in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observation Station. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement isunderway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.12．It happened last night that ________．A. the meteor watching ended up a social outingB. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the city light show attracted many peopleD. the city's lights affected the meteor watching13．What do the astronomers complain about?A. Meteor showers occur less often than before.B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair.C. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.D. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.14．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.B. Animals' living habits may change suddenly.C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D. Birds may take other migration paths.15．Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________．A. lessen the chance of getting cancerB. create a good observation conditionC. ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD. enable all creatures to live in harmony第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）按照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The song represents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life.At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond-Blackfan anemia(DBA) , and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too.So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there’s so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant.” she said. “So, so far we’ve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream. And sometimes I would listen to her mus ic and I would daydream about the singer and meeting her and seeing her in person,” Hallie said in her social media.When the singer’s assistant heard about Hallie’s Heroes and knew about her wish, he was inspired to help the selfless little girl who turned her own health battle into a way to help others and decided to give Hallie the surprise of a lifetime. He offered two tickets to the singer’s concert in Houston. When Hallie received a call offering her the tickets, she was shocked and enthusiastically accepted and attended the concert with her mother in the front row.Now Hallie has recovered. She no longer has “bad blood”. Thanks to her foundation, hundreds of others can say the same.4．Why did the author mention the main idea of a song?A. To introduce the heroine of the text.B. To show the author’s love for the song.C. To explain how harmful the bad blood was.D. To highlight the impact of the song on the author.5．What do we know about Hallie’s life before the operation?A. She felt sorrow for herself.B. She often went to the concert.C. She sought for a bone marrow match.D. She prepared for her own foundation. 6．What was Hallie’s initial purpose of setting up Hallie’s Heroes?A. To save herselfB. To be known by others.C. To see her favorite singer.D. To help patients with DBA,7．Which of the following can best describe Hallie?A. Inactive but lucky.B. Selfish but capable,C. Helpful and wealthy.D. Caring and determined.When I was in high school, my history teacher tried an experiment with a classmate known for her enthusiastic and expressive communication style. The girl had raised her hand to answer a question, and the teacher challenged her to reply while keeping her hands folded in her lap. I’ve never forgotten the sight of her stru ggling to get her words out while her hands were restrained (限制) .We all, to some extent or another, talk with our hands. It’s part of how we communicate. But as Susan Goldin-Meadow, a professor and psychologist at the University of Chicago, explains in her newest book, that’s just the beginning.What she discovered are an astonishing number of ways in which our hands not only help us to emphasize(or sometimes contradict) our spoken words, but they also play a vital role in how we form our ideas. As Goldin-Meadow shows, even people blind from birth use gestures.People who don’t have arms will experience a phantom (幻觉) feeling they are gesturing. We gesture when someone we’re talking to can’t see us, such as on the phone. We gesture when we’re all alone, trying to compose an email. We need to gesture to make sense of the world.“Gestures and language really are a single integrated system. It’s not just a system that linguists study,” said Goldin-Meadow. “There’s so much information that isn’t captured by our words, and by all of the conventional things that we learn from language. For that purpose, certainly as a psychologist, I think it’s very important to take these kinds of things seriously.”There’s a huge literature on body language. It really does c onvey lots of things-attitude perspective, sense of self, and more. Most of them are about how we feel, and our perception of our interaction. What the hands contribute—and the face can do this, too-is not just our attitudes to the conversation, but the content of the conversation.8．What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To share an experiment.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To introduce a phenomenon.9．How do gestures have an impact on communication?A. Limiting oral wordsB. Stressing oral words.C. Directing oral words.D. Interrupting oral words.10．What is mostly conveyed in a speaker’s gestures?A. His habits.B. His character.C. His feelings.D. His contribution. 11．What can be the best title for the text?A. Hand Gestures: A Way We Need To Do EverydayB. Hand Gestures: A Language We Struggle To UnderstandC. Hand Gestures: An Easy Language Learning From ChildhoodD. Hand Gestures: An Important And Silent Communication MethodIndia’s robotic spacecraft landed on the moon undamagedly on August 23, 2023, a historic achievement for the country’s growing space program.The Chandrayaan-3 mission is the first ever to touch down at the lunar south pole. Many nations and private companies have set their sights on the region because of its ice, thought to be buried in the polar craters. The natural resources are coveted because they could supply drinking water, air, and rocket fuel for future missions, ushering a new era in spaceflight.The success also means India has been one of countries who have landed a spacecraft on the moon. The victory comes four years after India’s previous mission, Chandrayaan-2, crashed.An Indian official, who watched the live stream from Johannesburg, South Africa, said, “On this joyous occasion, I would like to address all the people of the world: India’s successful moon mission is not just India’s alone. This success belongs to all humanity.”About 60 years have passed since the first unpiloted (无人驾驶的) moon landings, but touching down is still demanding. The moon’s atmosphere is very thin, providing virtually no drag to slow a spacecraft down as it approaches the ground. Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot. Engineers have to make up for these shortcomings from about 239,000 miles away.Over the past four years, private companies and other nations have tried and failed. But perhaps now there’s more hope.The Indian official said, “I’m confident th at all countries in the world including thosefrom the global south are capable of achieving such a success. We can all aspire (渴望) to the moon and beyond.”12．What does the underlined word “coveted” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Desired.B. Legal.C. Tough.D. Balanced.13．What can we infer about Chandrayaan-2?A. It was connected by Chandrayaan-3.B. It landed on the south surface of the moon.C. It was the first to touch down at the south pole.D. It fell and broke when carrying out space mission.14．What makes it hard to land on the moon according to the text?A. The unfamiliar preens for scientists.B. The materials used to make the spaceship.C. The shortage of previous successful cases.D. The limitation of the moon’s atmosphere and technology.15．What is t he Indian official’s attitude to the future space exploration?A. Indifferent.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.二、七选五16．Tips for Hiding the Afikomen on Passover （逾越节）Hiding the afikomen—a broken piece of pancake—is often a beloved part of the Passover Dinner among families, giving children a game of searching. Here is best advice for hiding the afikomen.①_______Who hides the afikomen and the physical boundaries that limit the hiding spots are key basic regulations that your family should consider together. Each family may do it a bit differently but once the basic regulations are in place, everyone has a better time with it.Make it a little more interesting. Finding the afikomen often comes with a reward or a small gift. Sometimes it is a toy, money or a game—in some families it is a big gift, some just a kiss. ②_______Find a hiding spot. While there’s technically only one afikomen at the dinner, families might also choose to change tradition to give larger groups of kids a better chance of success. Some families may find a way to hide a few. ③_______It allows either all the kids to find one, or at least more than just one kid.Trick their eyes. Leaving the afikomen out in the open might seem a little too easy, but it can present a surprising challenge. ④_______But the general thinking is that people are so used to seeing what they expect they will never see here.Increase the difficulty. The serious hiders skip easy-to-see spots for more intensive,nearly impossible places, for example, in a dr awer, under all the kids’ art projects or in the bathroom under four out of seven towels. So kids have to work hard for it. ⑤_______A．Set some ground rules.B．Or the same afikomen is hidden repeatedly.C．Well design the interactive and enjoyable game.D．It is fun but the house may be a mess after the searching.E．The kids have to truly focus on things they see every day.F．The kids may feel like everyone has the chance to be the designer.G．More competitive families also offer the finder something special, like a dollar coin.三、完形填空（15空）The distinctive smell of wet dogs was a reminder of the Christmas vacation when I was twelve.
