They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.4．Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.A．live in groups B．have large brainsC．are warm-blooded D．have their own language5．Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A．Its nose.

AFree Theme ParksNo matter what theme park or amusement park you visit, you're going to have to open your wallet to ride a coaster. For families on a budget, free-admission parks can be great bargains.KnoebelsKnoebels is one of the few remaining free-admission parks, and one of the largest in the US. Rides are separately priced. Discounted ticket books are available.Knoebels also offers pay-one-price options. With its generous collection of classic spinning rides and dizzying colored lights, Knoebels transports guests to a former time. It also takes special pride in its two popular wooden coasters, Twister and Phoenix. The park offers a campground.Coney IslandThe amusement area includes a number of operators. Admission to the seaside parks and famed boardwalk is still free, as is entrance to the public beach. It also offers free parking.

Family Kingdom is among a few survivors, which is famous for the Swamp Fox wooden coaster.Waldameer ParkAs a classic amusement park that dates back to 1896, Waldameer is one of the few remaining trolley (有轨电车) parks in the US.

I was riding through my usual shortcut (近路), when I turned the corner and saw a large brown mass of feathers(羽毛) blocking my path.Before me stood a big turkey, which had an almost sunburn-pink head with a pale blue. I got off my bike and started to shout at it. It didn’t move. I walked closer to it with my arms swinging in the air like a crazy person. It didn't even move. It just sat there staring at nothing. I tried a variety of things, none of which worked. Finally as a last choice, I picked up a large stick and beat it. As soonas the tip of the branch touched its feathers, I knew I messed up. The turkey's bald head slowly turned toward me. My plan was that it would walk away and leave me alone, but I was erroneous. It ran straight at me, and out of anger pecked (喙) at my legs as fast as it could.With the large bird attacking me, I slowly made my way back to my bike and made my escape. I rode as fast as I could in the opposite direction with the mad turkey on my tail. This went on for around five minutes before the turkey gave up and moved into the woods with its eyes watching my every move.That Thanksgiving, I refused to eat turkey. Since then I have never seen a turkey in my neighborhood, and hopefully it will stay that way.25. Where did the author meet the turkey?A. Outside his house.B. On a familiar shortcut.C. On his way home from school D On his way to a friends home.26. What directly resulted in the turkey's attack?A. The author’s swinging arms at it.B. The author’s sudden approach to it.C. The author’s non-stop shouting at it.D. The author’s beating it with a branch.27. Which can best replace the underlined word “erroneous” in Paragraph 2?A. ImpatientB. Unskillful.C. Mistaken.D. Disappointed.CWhen you choke, you can't breathe properly or can't get enough air into your lungs because there is something in your throat. Choking can make the person unable to breathe, talk, or even make noise. Worse still, because the body needs oxygen to stay alive. when oxygen can t reach the lungs and the brain, a person can become unconscious, suffer from brain damage, and even die within minutes.Choking is a serious thing. If you think someone is choking, shout for help and have somebody call 911 right away. If you can do it properly and safely, you can give him or her first aid. In other words, you can get behind the choking person and then give a certain kind of quick squeeze in the middle of the stomach. This squeeze sends a quick powerful burst of air from the persons lungs upward, removing the problem food or object and often sending it flying out of the person's mouth Choking is sometimes dangerous. Luckily, something can be done to prevent it. For example, be extra careful when you're eating certain foods that are easy to chokeon. They include things like hot dogs, nuts, grapes, raw car-rots, popcorn, and hard candy. Check food labels to make sure that the food isn't the kind that can lead to choking. Also you can sit down, take small bites and don't talk or laugh when your mouth is filled with food!In addition, look out for the little boys and girls. Babies and young children love to put things in their mouths so help keep them safe by picking up anything off the floor that might be risky to swallow-like pen caps and coins. Keep toys with small parts in some place young children can't get to, and never share your food or candy with a baby.28. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. Examples of choking B Signs of choking. C Harm of choking. D Causes of choking.29. What first aid should be given to a choking sufferer?A. Pouring some water into his mouth. B Gently pressing him on the back.C. Asking the people present for help.D. Trying to clear the thing of his throat.30. According to the passage, when we eat, we need to .A. be cautious about what we are eating.B. make sure the ingredients are easy to find.C. Check whether the food labels are correct.D. Laugh as loudly as possible when our mouth is filled with food.31. To keep choking from happening to kids, we should .A offer them toys with small partsB. talk to them while we are feeding themC keep dangerous things out of their reachD forbid them from eating too many candiesDWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful "group projects"are first assigned. The smartest don't want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. A smart person who can't stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business”and ends up not being able to grow.Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don't like to follow the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald's complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can't be ruined by their average employees.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have the room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemmaSo, don't be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.32. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe .A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to take part33. McDonald's is used as an example to prove that .A. a business calls for smart people's talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business34. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people .A. have fewer choices in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. have a good income in many different fields35. What is the best title for the text?A. Potentials for successB. Bases for businessC. The ordinary achieve bigger success?D. Talent means successful business?第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Goodwill stores offer a lot of discounts for your tight budget. 36 They have a wide selection of clothing, household items, shoes, books and so on.

2014--2015学年第二学期期末联考高二英语试卷第二部分：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。
AOne and a half years ago, my friend and I separately received an invitation to our best friend’s wedding. Then we both decided to go to the nearby town to attend the wedding and come back together. After the reception was over, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o’clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.We waited for an hour and w ere getting desperate. We wouldn’t be able to stay overnight because it was weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10pm when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude to them.When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.The laborer shook his head and said, “No”.On hearing this, the driver refused to take him.I remembered my own trouble a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family’s act of kindness! That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all over the world with your help! That is why today I especially share my story with you!1.How did the author and his friend get to their hometown?A.By taking a taxiB.By walkingC.With the help of a laborerD.With the help of a family2.The reason why the driver permitted the laborer to get in at last is that .A.the driver showed mercy on the laborerB.the laborer finally agreed to pay his own fareC.the author promised to pay the laborer’s fareD.the driver dislikes to take another passenger3.The author writes the passage mainly in order to .A.make such act of kindness spread in the worldB.make people remember a moving story foreverC.tell what shall people pay attention to in the weddingD.tell how people should deal with the strangers on the wayBIf you are like most middle schoolers, you probably don’t know what you’re doing this weekend, let alone（更不用说）where you might attend college in three or four years.But Haley Berg, 15, can tell you exactly where she plans to be in the fall of 2017: starting her first year at the university of Texas on a full soccer scholarship(奖学金). For Haley, now a ninth-grader in Celina, Texas, the offers from college coaches started pouring in when she was in middle school. Haley is a really good soccer player who’s been playing the sport since she was four years old.“The recruiting(招募) process started for me in the eighth grade,” she told The New York Times. “The college coaches were always there, watching our games.”College are recruiting more younger players than ever before, and many of the student athletes are offered full scholarships before they’ve even set foot in high school.This situation is espec ially evident in women’s sports. It may be a result of Title IX, a 1972 law that requires equal funding for men’s and women’s school sports. To comply with the law,some colleges have increased the number of women’s sports teams and scholarships they offer. That’s led to a growing number of college coaches who need more women athletes.Some parents want their middle schoolers to win scholarships by going to college at an early age. But many people worry about the stress this puts on kids to make such big decisions. Even some college coaches have concerns about recruiting young players. Angela Kelly, Haley’s future coach at Texas, says she feels she has no choice; if she does’t recruit the young athletes, other schools will take the best players.“It’s bad for the whole development of the sport, and to the girls,” Kelly said.4.In the fall of 2007, Haley Berg will .A.become a college soccer coachB.play for the University of TexasC.get lots of offers from college coachesD.borrow a lot of money to attend college5.For student athletes, colleges’ recruiting process .A.is stricter than beforeB.is getting more supportC.is starting earlier than beforeD.provides more full scholarships6.The underlined part “comply with” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.obeyB.studyC.breakD.pass7.Angela Kelly’s attitude towards recruiting young players is .A.hopefulB.worriedC.uninterestedD.favorableC“We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns(客栈) and have no self-control.”Does this sound familiar? Those who think it does may be surprised to find out that this comment is actually an inscription(碑文) from an ancient tomb. However, replace the word “taverns” with “bars” and it may begin to sound all too familiar to today’s youth.It seems that people manage to find a way to complain about the youth today from every possible angle. Whether in newspapers, television shows, or even general chats---young people seem to be everyone’s favorite scapegoats(替罪羊). People may say that young people have become ruder than the “good old days”, where they showed respect for their elders. The “good old days” refers to people’s memories of the past.However, have there ever been any “good old days” when it comes to y oung people? Could there be any truth to the idea that today’s young generation is the worst ever? Or are these complaints something that every young generation has had to simply deal with since Ancient times?I believe that there is probably some truth to the idea that young people are more impatient than they once were. We live in an extremely connected world with huge amounts of information right at our fingertips. Technology has enabled us to do things more quickly. This doesn’t just apply to young people though. This applies to us all!However, people may still argue that young people are more arrogant(自大的) than they once were. Whether this is because young people are unfairly described in the media, or because they actually are getting worse, is up for discussion.8.The quote in Paragraph 1 is from .A.the InternetB.an ancient inscriptionC. a famous old bookD.an everyday conversation9.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Some truths about today’s youthB.People’s complaints about today’s youth.C.The authors view s towards today’s youth.D.The author’s doubts about complaints of today’s youth.10.What’s the author’s attitude to the view that young people are more impatient now?A．He partly agrees with it.B．He is completely against it.C．He completely agrees with it.D．He doe sn’t show his idea clearly.11.What will the author most probably talk about next?A.How to deal with the arrogance of today’s youth.B.Why today’s youth are thought to be more arrogantC.The consequences of the arrogance of today’s youth.D.Misunderstandings between today’s youth and society.DThe pop band R5 released a music video for their new song RockThatRock at Gramercy Theatre in New York City on June 9.The makers of Ring Pop, the plastic rings with fruit-flavored candy “jewels,” teamed up with R5 to promote (宣传) the song. For the past few months, R5 has been asking fans to share photos and videos of themselves rocking out while wearing their Ring Pops. A few lucky fans had their photo or video appear in the music video.At the release party, R5 gave a sneak peak(先睹为快) of the new video before playing a live set for fans.R5 includes four siblings（兄弟姐妹）---Ross, Rocky, Riker, and Rydel Lynch, plus a friend of theirs, Ellington Ratliff. The siblings met Ellington Ratliff after they moved to Los Angeles. Shortly af ter that, the band was formed. The band is named after the five R’s in the members’ names. Ross is the lead vocalist(主唱) and plays the rhythm guitar. Rocky is the lead guitarist, Riker plays bass, Rydel plays keyboard, and Ratliff plays the drums.Recently, R5 won the Radio Disney Music Showstopper Award. Ross said the win was unexpected. “It made us all really happy,” he said. “We put a lot into our music, and we were glad to see that people appreciated it.”At the video release, guests were treated to free Ring Pops before the band came onstage to show the RockThatRock video. When the band members started singing live, the crowd sang anddanced along.“I’m so glad I got to meet them in person,” said Madison, 14, a fan of the group. “They were so sweet and amazing!”The band has announced their fall dates for R5: LIVE ON TOUR. The tour will run from September 5 through 28 across the U.S., with one show in Canada.12.According to the text, Ring Pop .A.is another song of R5B.was first sold on June 9C.was designed by R5D.has a smell of fruit13.What can we learn about the pop band R5?A.It is just a family band.B.It was formed in New York City.C.It is hugely popular with fans.D.It was named after its lead vocalist.14.Guests present at the video release party .A.got free Ring PopsB.attended R5’s show in CanadaC.appeared in R5’s latest music videoD.got the RockThatRock video for free.15.The text is most probably .A. a newspaper reportB. a music show reviewC.an ad for a music bandD.an invitation to a concert第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.24. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.A. live in groupsB. have large brainsC. are warm-bloodedD. have their own language25. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A. Its nose.B. Its ears.C. Its mouth.D. Its eyes.26. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was seriously wounded.D. They wanted his help.27. what is the main idea of this passage?A. Dolphins are endangered.B. Dolphins are the animals which has some difference from other animals.C. Man should protect dolphins.D. Some countries passed laws to protect dolphins.CWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2007 holiday season 58percent of those shopping on line were women, “It shows h ow popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study, Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around. However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2007. they worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t b uy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores, ” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. “It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.28. Which of the following statements is true?A. There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2007.B. Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C. More women shopped online than men in 2007.D. People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.29. We can infer from the passage that______.A. shopping online will be more popular in yearsB. women usually decide what to buy in the familyC. the Internet is used in all shopsD. men usually decide how to spend money in the family30. According to Dan Hess, shopping online ______.A. is unsafeB. is convenientC. is a waste of moneyD. is cheaper31. Which of the following is the best title?A. Women turn to online shoppingB. Men stop online shoppingC. More young people shop onlineD. Shopping off-line provides better serviceDDifferent countries and cultures celebrate New Year in different ways. Many countries still follow the lunar calendar, meaning that their new year often starts in late January or in February. New Year celebrations for some countries (like China, Vietnam and Korea) last not one day, but up to two weeks!In the U.S., many people attend New Year parties. They drink champagne, dance, and cheer at the stroke of midnight. Fireworks, which in olden times scared away evil spirits, are very popular throughout the U. S. . U.S. residents often make one or more New Year’s resolutions,such as promising to quit smoking, lose weight, stop drinking. Most of these resolutions last little longer than a month.In the southern U.S. , many people eat black-eyed peas for good luck in the new year. In Mexico and Venezuela, many people wear red or yellow underwear for good luck. In Brazil, residents wear red white clothes for good luck, and in China, they wear red clothes and give children red envelops with money in them. In Iran, people wear brand new clothes on the first day of the new year.In Scotland, homeowners open the front door at midnight to let in the new year, and open the back door to let out the old year. In Switzerland, people kiss each other three times at midnight. In Spain, people eat 12 grapes-----one per chime----as the clock chimes midnight. In Japan, they ring a bell 108 times to get rid of the108 bad desires that people have. In Korea, they ring a bell 33 times in honor of 33 ancient soldiers.32. How do Americans celebrate their New Year?A. They kiss each three times at the stroke after midnight.B. They use fireworks to scare away evil spirits.C.
