高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

2023-2024学年江苏省泰州市高二下学期6月期末英语试题
2023-2024学年江苏省泰州市高二下学期6月期末英语试题Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers.Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high —many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.”The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins.In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another befor e finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia.In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,”she says.1. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site?A．To display Sia’s generosity.B．To arouse readers’ sympat hy.C．To show the life of construction workers.D．To explain why Sia started Sole Warriors.2. How does Sole Warriors offer help?A．By urging governments to make joint efforts.B．By donating refurbished shoes to those in need.C．By collecting second-hand shoes from dustbins.D．By searching for companies to make new shoes for free.3. What difficulty did Sia have in developing the organization?A．Their donation couldn’t meet people’s demand.B．The process of refurbishment was too complicated.C．Her request was rejected by quite a few companies.D．Few people were willing to give away their old shoes.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Being a socialist is Sia’s dream.B．The Diana Award is awarded annually.C．Sia felt totally satisfied with her social action.D．Sia would not stop her work with Sole Warriors.When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love ——a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage.Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt around 6,000 years ago. However, unlike the metals and jewels used today, they were crafted from materials such as leather or bone. In the centuries that followed, the wedding ring tradition was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rome and Greece, subsequently throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, and eventually to Eastern culture.Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued.Regarding customs surrounding wedding rings, there was a time when only the bride wore a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice of bridegrooms wearing rings gained popularity. This change was influenced by soldiers going off to war, who wore rings as reminders of their loved ones waiting for them at home. Today, the exchange of wedding rings remains an essential part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love shared between two individuals who will begin a life together.Wedding rings hold a symbolic significance that ties the two members of a married couple. In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage.5. What can we know about wedding rings in the text?A．They have their roots in Europe.B．They date back to the Middle Ages.C．They symbolize the owners’ social status.D．The round shape has remained unchanged.6. Why did people in ancient times wear a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand?A．Because it brought good luck to soldiers going off to war.B．Because they wished to keep their lover in their heart.C．Because a vein runs directly from this finger to the heart.D．Because it represented the never-ending union of marriage.7. What can be predicted about the future of the wedding ring tradition?A．It will undergo great changes.B．It will gradually fall out of date.C．It will probably last for quite a long time.D．It will only be popular in certain cultures.8. What is the text mainly about?A．The design of wedding rings.B．The significance of wedding rings.C．The long history of wedding rings.D．The materials used for wedding rings.At the Port of Los Angeles, a long gray ship is doing its part to fight against climate change. On the ship, which belongs to Captura, a Los Angeles-based company, is a system of pipes, pumps, and containers that pumps seawater and removes CO₂, which can be used to make plastics and fuels or buried. Then the treated seawater is returned to the ocean, where it absorbs more CO₂ from the atmosphere, in an effort to battle the rise of the greenhouse gas.Capturing(捕获) CO₂ from the ocean should be easier and cheaper than a seemingly more direct approach: capturing it directly from the air. Direct air capture, which relies on fans to sweep air past chemicals that can absorb CO₂, currently costs between $600 to $1000 per ton of CO₂ removed, largely because atmospheric CO₂ only makes up less than 0.05% of the air by volume. Earth’s oceans, in contrast, hold the gas at a concentration nearly 150 times higher, and absorb roughly 30% of all emitted (排放) CO₂ each year.Besides, ocean capture is developing faster than other ocean CO₂removal approaches. That’s partly because the systems can usually be attached to desalination (脱盐) plants, wastewater treatment equipment, and other large water-processing systems.However, one challenge for the approach is determining exactly how much CO₂ the treated water absorbs and at what rate. Still, the absorption rates will vary based on where the water is released and how easily it mixes with surrounding water. That makes site selection a really important part of this process.Even if the technology takes off, it will have to be promoted widely to make a difference in offsetting global emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, by 2050engineered carbon removal efforts will need to remove some 5 billion tons of CO₂ every year to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C. At present, the ocean capture companies are removing only thousands of tons.9. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A．The re use of removed CO ₂ .B．The basic information about Captura.C．The working process of ocean capture.D．An unusual phenomenon in Los Angeles.10. Why does ocean capture cost less than direct air capture?A．Because the system is used more widely.B．Because the ocean absorbs CO ₂ more directly.C．Because capturing CO ₂ from the ocean is faster.D．Because the concentration of CO ₂ in seawater is higher.11. What does the underlined word “offsetting” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Sending out. B．Canceling out. C．Figuring out. D．Giving out. 12. What does the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change want to convey?A．The ocean capture companies still have a long way to go.B．The ocean capture companies have removed enough CO ₂ .C．More CO ₂ will be emitted into the atmosphere in the future.D．Limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5℃is the final goal.The importance of learning outside goes beyond fresh air and fun. Spending time outdoors can expose kids to the concept of climate change. Here are some tips.●Keep a climate journal. You can explain to your children that climate is a pattern of weather. 13 However, in recent years, extreme weather like storms and abnormal temperatures has occurred frequently. Have them keep a weather journal to get a sense of the climate.● 14 Kids can help take care of plants, like vegetables or plants in a garden. Growing and looking after plants helps children understand that people have a role to play in helping living things meet their needs. Make connections between climate change and the needs of plants.●Play some games. Encourage your children to head outside for a few rounds of nature scavenger hunt (寻物游戏) , where you give them a list of items to find, like sticks, colorful leaves and rocks. It is also a good choice to play “I Spy”, which gets them to associate words with the natural world.15●Build an outdoor tool set. Put together an outdoor tool set with a magnifying glass(放大镜),a telescope and a container. 16 Then, try starting with something they are interested in, such as building a mini park or collecting natural items.●Walk and talk. Go on walks with your kids frequently. Along the way observe and discuss how other members of the community are helping the environment. 17 Over time, under the guidance of parents, kids will grow into adults who care about the environment.As a kid, I often suffered from nosebleeds. My parents had some ________ of traditional Chinese medicine, and they said this was caused by my love for ________ fruits. Lychees, my ________, had given me “too much heat.” But it didn’t stop me from eating them by the ________. After we moved from China to Canada, lychees became harder to find. Whenever we drove to a Chinatown, I would ______ all the fruit markets for my red jewels.As I grow older, trying new fruits widens my horizons. Just when I thought I had _____ every pleasant fruity smell in the world, the lulo (龙葵) appeared at my regular fruit shop. Its taste left me wide-eyed and ________. The strong, sweet flavor filled my whole house for days. It was such a________ smell that I’d rather believe it was picked from a food scientist’s imagination.“What lasted is what the soul ate,” Jack Gilbert wrote in his poem The Spirit and the Soul, “The way a child knows the world by putting it into his ________.”Each tasting is a chance to be ________ with my inner child. The experience is no less ________ than seeing the ocean for the first time, leaving me ________ what else this world has been hiding from us.I try most fruits only several times because I always love newer things. But there is one I keep returning to: the soursop(刺果番荔枝). When it is ripe, it tastes wonderful. Wait just one more day, ________, and it starts to brown, giving off a terrible smell. Yes, it goes bad fast, ________ that life is too short. So don’t let our sweetest days ________.“Taste” the joy s around us as they come along.18.A．prejudice B．knowledge C．application D．recognition19.A．unusual B．unsafe C．unknown D．unforgettable 20.A．option B．recipe C．favorite D．privilege 21.A．half B．pile C．group D．dozen22.A．search B．purchase C．consult D．approach 23.A．checked B．encountered C．contacted D．explored 24.A．tireless B．hopeless C．speechless D．restless25.A．rare B．familiar C．terrible D．vital26.A．mind B．pocket C．mouth D．heart27.A．refreshed B．reunited C．recharged D．rearranged 28.A．rewarding B．practical C．meaningful D．memorable 29.A．understanding B．investigating C．wondering D．suspecting 30.A．though B．therefore C．otherwise D．instead31.A．recommending B．promising C．ensuring D．reminding 32.A．set in B．slip away C．split up D．slow down阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

However, students may missa lot when they only use Internet information to make their college decisions.Some people believe that the best way to get a detailed look at what life islike at any college or university is by visiting the campus.At present, school visits are becoming popularin the US. Most students begin visiting colleges and universities that they areinterested in before their final year of high school. The majority of collegesand universities let interested students visit their campuses at any time of ayear. Students can contact the admission offices of the schools that interestthem. Current students usually lead the tours. Their job is to provideinformation, offer advice and show future students different parts of thecampus, such as housing and classrooms. During the visit, students should alsotry to plan a meeting with an admission official.Most schools keep a record ofall the exchanges they have with candidates. Trying to meet with officials in personto ask them questions shows interest on the part of the applicant, whichschools like to see.It’s never too early to visit a school. Thiscould be years before they even start thinking about the application process.Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful for youngpeople. That is why some applicants even bring younger brothers and sisterswith them on visits.However, visiting schools may not be a choice appropriateto everyone, especially international 阅读理解Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK’sfirst full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is partof its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expectfrom the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation forthe test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paidalmost £1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash,they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used itsbit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as ahologram in Newbury. It isn’t all holograms, however: 5G will offer fasterinternet access. with Ofcom suggesting that videothat takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connectedequipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabledfridge that can reorderyour milk for you, but the network that will enabledriverless cars and delivery drones to communicate with eachother.Prof William Webb has warned that thetechnology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes. Much of the speedincrease, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4Gnetwork, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggestedthat a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressingcurrent network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost toconsumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabledsmart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of networkrollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5Gphone well before 5G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.（1）Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes”?A . He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B . 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C . 5G helps people communicate better with each other.D . He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.（2）The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to .A . making a speech toB . trying to solveC . managing to decreaseD . responding to（3）The last paragraph indicates that .A . it’ll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in the UKB . 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC . customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD . it’s probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain（4）What do we know about the text?A . Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.B . Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.C . The application of 5G will make life much easier.D . 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）5. 任务型阅读If you have stage fright, or the anxiety orfear of speaking in public, you are not alone.

Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front and said,“Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me,“You can do it. I have confidence in you!”His words helped me calmdown. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.From that day on the kids never made fun of me any more and some actually made friends with me.

Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the Main Reading Room is 51 feet high. Here, a reader can sit and work in comfort.The library has over thirty million books andpaintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare’s play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.Every New Yorker can visit the library and use its riches -- free.But the cost of running the library has risen sharply in recent years, and the library has not enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every day. Now it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and every evening to save money.The library is trying to raise more money to meet its increasing cost. Well-known writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City. But the problem remains serious.Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said,“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City -- it contains all our knowledge.”56. Where is the New York Public Library?A. Outside New York.B. In the north of the city.C. In the busiest part of New York.D. In the heart of a university.57. What can be found in the library?A.

The periods when the library is open now include _______ .A. Tuesday eveningB. Sunday morningC. Saturday afternoonD. Monday morning59. What is the passage mainly about?A, Saving a library. B. Repairing an old building.C. Building a new library.D. Reading in comfort.60. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The library has grass and trees in it.B. New Yorkers don’t have to pay to use the library.C. Famous writers don’t have to pay to use the library.D. The main reading room of the library is 15 feet high.CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!61. What do people basically wear clothes for?A. Looking attractive to others.B. Following the fashion.C. Appearing successful to others.D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.62. The main reason why clothes are sometimesvery expensive is that _______.A. one has to buy new clothesB. these clothes are in fashionC. the cost of the cloth is highD. making clothes costs much63. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. expensive clothes are not worth their pricesB. fashion is not always changingC. expensive clothes are warmerD. fashion designers like expensive clothes64. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fashionable clothes shops.B. The clothes that some people have.C. Cupboards for storing clothes.D. Shelves used for keeping books.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Suits and ties.B. Clothes and fashion.C. Beauty and success.D. Cost and pastime.DWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. When I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How strong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Rose a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help. “Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said,“Are you getting married, young man？But aren’t you a bit young?“I’m not talking about marriage,” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’vearrived. Can you tell me where is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Rose explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me,“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”66. Where was the writer from?A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. China67. At the airport, the writer wanted ________.A. to tell Rose his arrivalB. his friend to see him offC. to make friends with RoseD. to go to the telephone company68.

The FrenchB. The AmericansC. The BritishD. The Canadians70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. American English is completely different from British English.B. British people don’t have any language problems in the US.C. Most of French children are required to learn English at school.D. British and American people understand each other most of the time.五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A new club will be set up for students who like music.

I'm sure your answer is "Yes,of course. Everybody does! " You need friends when you play and when you work. If you have friends, you will feel happy. If you have no friends. you will feel lonely (寂寞的). Do you know how to make friends? There is only one good way—You make friends by being friendly. A friendly person is interested in other people.

We do not think when we are doing it, we can have good habits or bad habits.“Early to bed , early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise”.This is an old English saying . Have you heard it before? It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning . If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Young people of your age need eight hours’sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you cannot have enough sleep. Then you cannot think properly and you cannot do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep properly. When the daylight comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running, jumping, swimming, playing games are all exercise. If the body is not used, it becomes weak. Exercise keeps it strong.Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we will die. We must have plenty of clean, fresh air to breathe if we want to be healthy.46、A habit is something we are doing .A. without much thinking about itB. with great effortC. on purposeD. at home47、If we want to be healthy, wealthy and wise, we must go to bed _______and get up _______ .A. late ; lateB. early; lateC. late ; earlyD. early; early48、Young people of your age need _______ sleep every night .A. eight hour’sB. eight hours’C. eight-hours’D. eight hours49、Which word doesn’t mean “wise”? _______A. cleverB. smartC. foolishD. intelligent50、If we want to be healthy, we must have _______.A. enough sleepB. doing exercisesC. plenty of clean, fresh airD. all of the above六、汉译英（每题4分，共20分）1、她不仅是一位作家而且是一名演员2、电脑在我们日常生活中起重要作用3、我妈妈以低价买了一台新电脑4、你可以把这个工作当做你成功的起点5、老师问我是否已经完成了作业2013-2014学年上学期期末考试12年级《英语》试卷答 题 卡一、词汇判断（每小题1分，共10分）1---5: 6---10： 二、选择填空（每小题2分，共20分）11---15: 16---20： 三、补充对话（每小题2分，共20分）21---25: 26---30： 四、完型填空（每小题1分，共10分）31---35: 36---40： 五、阅读理解（每小题2分，共20分）41---45: 46---50： 六、汉译英（每小题4分，共20分） 51.52. 53. 54. 55.学校： 姓名： 专业 座号装 订 线2013-2014学年上学期期末考试12年级《英语》试卷55、My teacher asked me whether（if）I had finished my homework参考答案一、词汇判断（每小题1分，共10分）DCBBB BDADC二、选择填空（每小题2分，共20分）CDDCA DBCAB三、补充对话（每小题2分，共20分）CBBAA DACBD四、完型填空（每小题1分，共10分）ACADA DBBBA五、阅读理解（每小题2分，共20分）CBADB ADBCD六、汉译英（每小题4分，共20分）51、She is not only a writer but also an actress52、Compters play an important part in our daily life53、My mother bought a new computer at a low price54、You may see the job as the starting point of your success。

Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had 1 been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand.

Even when experience tells them that it‟s not __12__, and they know there‟s little hope of improvement, they still __13__ because they don‟t want to waste the initial investment. But this is illogical. It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn‟t want to waste the money he‟d paid for them.Losing something is difficult, but it is important to __14__ the loss and move on. __15__ you‟ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.1.
