新疆生产建设兵团第二中学高二英语上学期期中试题
2016-2017学年第一学期高二英语期中考试试题第一部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AIt’s exciting to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now, or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting. We asked top scientists to share their predictions on what the world will be like in a century. If they’re right, the 2114 is going to be really cool.1. Robots will do your chores and moreRobots will be doing most of our jobs, from building homes to teaching math. There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas. In the future they will be more complicated and useful. Unfortunately, with robots taking all the jobs, unemployment will be high.2. You will read minds.Speaking of being social, we will communicate in an entirely different way. Forget texts and emails. Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word. We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us. (Instead of pressi ng “start” on the microwave, you could just think “start.”) Meanwhile, chips implanted(植入)in our brains will improve memory and intelligence.3. Your car will drive youToday, around 30,000 Americans die in car accidents each year. One hundred years from now, accidents will be a thing of the past. According to Mark Safford, consultant or the U.S. Department of Transportation, future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds.4. You will eat fake meat.Raising animals is not an efficient way to produce food, and it harms the environment: Cows, chickens, and pigs eat a lot, and then we have to deal with all that poop(粪便). What’s more, that poop can rise up poisoning lakes, rivers, and streams. Today, scientists can “grow” meat in a lab from animal cells, but it’s expensive and not very delicious.In the future, they will have perfected the process. You’ll order hambu rgers that come from factories, not cows. Scientists may even find ways to make lab-grown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing.1.According to the passage, what is likely to happen when robots become more common in the future?A. People will be much lazier.B. More people will lose their jobs.C. People may become physically weaker.D. More people may become less intelligent.2.According to the passage, in the future cars will be__________.A. less popularB. more expensiveC. much easier to operateD. much smaller and lighter3.Future meat will be ________.A. much more affordableB. less tasty but healthierC. more organic and deliciousD. more environmentally friendly 4.What is the passage mainly about?A. The history of human life.B. The predictable future life.C. The development of science.D. The latest scientific findings.BThe USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world saw the great peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?First, one major cause of the departure among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to hunger. Another was politics. Many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the failure of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to make a new start in America. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling out for labour, and pay and conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and develop commerce. There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace.As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally awful fate of the American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a only 488000 free blacks.Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to the ambitious and the energetic who are ready to commit themselves to the land that gives them a second chance.5. What is not given as a reason for emigration in the passage?A. The search for religious freedom.B. The search for adventure.C. Avoidance of military (军事的) service.D. Economics.6. The lives of 19th Century European peasants were difficult because ______.A. there was no shortage of landB. there was no peaceC. the population had gone downD. there were too many of them7. Which of the following can best summarize the whole passage?A. The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.B. The USA is a land of immigrants.C. Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.D. About one-eighth of non-native born Americans live in the USA in 1890.8. We know from the passage that ________.A. All people coming to the New Land was successful.B. All people came to the USA out of their willingness.C. Some people were forced to be brought to the USA.D. the story of the Native Americans was the saddest one.CEach time I see a balloon , my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl . It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died . I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven . “ Yes , honey . Of course , ” she said . “ Can we write him a letter ? ”She paused , the longest pause of my short life , and answered , “ Yes . ” My heartjumped . “ Can the mailman go there ? ” I asked .“ No , but I have an idea . ” Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon .I asked her what it was for . “ Just wait , honey . You’ll see . ” Mum told me to write my letter . Eagerly , I got my favorite pen , and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink . I wrote about my day , what I learned at school , how Mum was doing , and even about what happened in a story I had read . For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive . I gave the letter to Mum . She read it over , and a smile cro ssed her face . She made a hole in the corner of the letter to tie it to the balloon . We went outside and she gave me the balloon . It was still raining . “ Okay , on the count of three , let it go . One , two , three . ” The balloon , carrying my letter , flew upwards against the rain . We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds . Later I realized , like the balloon , that Dad had never let his sickness get him down . He was strong . No matter what he suffered , he’d keep on , fly up , and finally go beyond this cold world and his sick body . He rose into sky and became something beautiful . I watche d until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on . I prayed to be a balloon .9. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father , her mother __________ .A. believed it was easy to do itB. felt it difficult to answerC. considered her a creative girlD. decided to make up a lie at once10.

What would be the best title for the passage ?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Fly to HeavenC. The Strong Red BalloonD. A Great FatherDLondon UndergroundThe world’s firs t subway was built in London in 1863. At the time,the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems,the idea of the London Underground,the first subway system,was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays,but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However,the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems,riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.13.What led the British government to build the London Underground?A. Traffic jams and pollution.B. Population and pollution.C. Overcrowding and traffic jams.D. The poverty and subway problems.14.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem?A. It made the tunnels larger.B. It put fans in the tunnels.C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.15.The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “______”.A. be troublesomeB. become popular and fashionableC. keep up withD. seize 七选五:根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。

Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistake s. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) escape. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.Scientists believe that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ mistakes. Cells(细胞) in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether indi vidual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in discovering mistakes.To investigate(调查)the brain’s response(反应) to mistakes in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green buttonwhile the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists watched individual cells in the animal’s brains.When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unrespo nsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey’s own mistakes.Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s mistakes. “You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.” Ellen de Brujin, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.41. According to Paragraph 1, animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakes______.A. helps them to survive betterB. used to be ignored by humansC. is being lost because of humansD. ensures that they will never fail42. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see ______.A. animals can avoid the same mistakesB. which part of the brain is more activeC. how the brain processes information.D. how the brain responds to mistakes43. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to _____.A. the same buttonsB. the monkey’s brainC others’ mistakes D. one’s own mistakesB篇TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ----5 Days Los AngelesDay 1 Los Angeles.

Today it has become almost as importantto every family as food and water! This year, theWorld Wide Web has turned 25 years old. Whatmany people don’t know is that the web was at firstcreated to improve communication betweenthousands of scientists in Switzerland.In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-oldBritish physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet), allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee’s boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them.In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Leebelieved that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use — a free open software. His wishes soon came true.Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.47. The World Wide Web was created to _____.A. help people get information easily and quicklyB. support the development of mobile technologiesC improve communication between scientists at CERN.D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate48. As for Berners-Lee’s pape r, his boss _____.A. felt puzzled about itB. showed no interest in itC. was certain about itD. had no confidence in it49. According to the text, Berners-Lee _____.A. doesn’t give up easily when in troubleB. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicistC. has worked at CERN for 25 yearsD. knows little about the Internet50.
