上海市七宝中学2018-2019年高二上期中试卷英语试题

2018-2019学年上海市闵行区七宝中学高二第一学期期中卷Ⅱ. Grammar (10)Directions:Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given words: for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.As a man who has already stepped into the tomb of love, I always have a feeling that it is my obligation to warn those guys who (21) ________ (not; marry) so far or are about to do that of the danger involved in marriage. Those simple-minded men can easily get (22) ________ “killed”, if they don’t know that comes with marriage.Since I am a quick learner, it didn’t take me long to find out (23) ________ a man needs to do to survive a marriage. Here are the 7 golden principles, which I would like to call “Marriage Survival Tips for Man”. Ready to take notes?No.1: Anything (24) ________ (request) by your wife should be doubtless taken as your priority in your to-do list. Whether it is to mop the floor or babysit your son, do it immediately and do it for life, idiot! Because the more times she has to ask you to do that, the (25) ________ (patient) she will be.No.2: Caution! Do not argue with your wife! (26) ________ reasonable you think you are, you will always end up saying sorry to her Trust me. As a man, the last thing you want to do is to get into an argument with a woman. Women are not supposed (27) ________ (reason) with. They are not designed that way. (Pardon me for being such a male chauvinist (直男炎). Deep down, I totally support feminism.) So unless you want to start a full-scale war you can never win, otherwise apologize to her the moment you two make eye contact.No.3: Always give positive feedbacks (28) ________ ________ any questions raised by her. For example, if she wants to buy a pair of high-heels or a fancy coat, say yes! Of course, always saying yes will cost you a fortune but at least it can save your life! And (29) ________ ________ ________ you are alive, money does grow on trees! But when the questions are related to her weight, stay with a simple life-saving rule: for God’s sake, she is not even a little bit fat! Calling her fat would be viewed as a horrible crime which deserves a death sentence!No 4: Sorry man! I can’t make this up anymore. Her Majesty (30) ________ (call) me again. I have to go now! Pray for me!Ⅲ. Vocabulary (20)Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to (31) ________ this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a (32) ________ argument for reading. The full quotation goes: “At school you are (33) ________ not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you (34) ________ the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the (35) ________ of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering (36) ________ into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be (37) ________ in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story (38) ________ Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.So the purpose of reading is not to memorize (39) ________ everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no (40) ________ opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.(B)You are my Solskjaer,My Ole SolskjaerYou make me happy when skies are grey.You’ll never know dear.How much I love you.Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.You are my SolskjaerMy only SolskjaerYou make my happy when skies are greyCoz when it’s pouring you just keep scoringPlease don’t take our Solskjaer awayThe above song is (41) ________ from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid (42) ________ to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (43) ________ called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect (44) ________ of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his (45) ________ knee injury.On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic ad were a real (46) ________ to me when I was out injuried. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have (47) ________ United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”Ole’s many career (48) ________ include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best (49) ________ his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and (50) ________ himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.Ⅳ. Cloze (15)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It did take me quite a while to start noticing Dr. Yuval Noah Harari’s well-received book: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (人类简史). I bought the book after I heard Dou Wentao (a renowned TV hose) mention it on his podcast, and to be frank, I read the first chapter with little (51) ________. But it turned out to be the best book I read in 2017.While I was immediately (52) ________ the book kept evolving as I read it. The book began with a brief introduction of the lives and activities of the earliest proto-humans (原始人)---Neanderthals (尼安德特人), Homoerectus (直立人) and early Homo Sapiens (智人)---and then (53) ________ an examination of why it was theHomo sapiens, after hundreds of thousands of years of surviving but pretty much existing in the middle of the food chain, (54) ________ rocketed to the top of it without ant significant genetic changes, conquered multiple climates, and eventually domesticated the world around them from farm animals to crops. And Harari includes an interesting but fairly (55) ________ argument about the true nature of our relationship to our most necessary crop---wheat.Think for a moment about the (56) ________ Revolution from the viewpoint of wheat. Ten thousand years ago wheat was just a wild grass, one of many, confined to a small range in the Middle East. All of a sudden, within just a few short millennia, it was growing everywhere.So how did this grass turn from insignificant to ubiquitous (到处存在的)? Wheat did it by manipulating (操纵) Homo sapiens to its advantage. This ape had been living a fairly comfortable life (57) ________ and gathering until about 10,000 years ago, but then began to (58) ________ more and more effort in cultivating wheat. Then, humans in many parts of the world were doing little from dawn to dusk (59) ________ taking care of wheat plants.However, the body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for cultivating wheat. Therefore human spines, knees, necks and arches paid the price. Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle (60) ________ next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life. We did not (61) ________ wheat. It’s the other way around. One of the most important and sustained ideas running through the book is that what ultimately (62) ________ Homo sapiens from all other creatures---other mammals, other apes, and even other “humans”like Neanderthals---was not our opposable thumbs or some other (63) ________ standards, but instead it was our ability to generate (生成), believe in and act upon what Yuval Noah Narari calls “myths” or “(64) ________” (essentially ideas and cultural institutions), particularly on a large scale and collective basis, which eventually transformed us from creatures that lived in small, loosely-organized groups (the typical feature of most apes) to our modern status.Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a fascinating ambitious and difficult-to-summarize book that is also just highly (65) ________. So as senior high school students, you won’t experience too much difficulty following the author’s train of thoughts. And I strongly recommend you to indulge (纵情于) yourself in this well-written book.Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’s mind-blowing book:Sapiens: A brief history of Humankind51.

Reading comprehension (32)Section A (24)Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Wechat, but I have to admit that it is exactly co rrect for me. Here’s how it works.Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.●Longer ring finger: The Sweet TalkerIf your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.●Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident OneIf your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even tothe point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.●Index and ring finger are of the same length: The PeacemakerIf your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!66. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?67. We can learn from the passage that the author ________.A. is very charming and helpfulB. always tries hard to avoid a fightC. often takes silly tests on FacebookD. thinks the descriptions suit him well68. What does the passage intend to tell us?A. How accurate the description of the test is.B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.D. Personality is determined by your finger length.69. Where can you probably find the text?A. A popular magazine.B. An official report.C. A public advertisement.D. A biology textbook.(B)In a time when too much emphasis has been attached to utilitarianism (功力主义), it doesn’t come as a surprise to me that we people no longer believe in poetry. Utility is now often the standard of what one should devote his or her time and energy to and what he or she shouldn’t, but don’t get me wrong. I am not saying or stating that one should not consider utility at all when making crucial decisions. On the contrary, everyone should take it into account. Medicine, law, business and engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance and love, these are what we stay alive for.My dad once told me that “life is suffering,”, which now I think is probably a unanimous (无异议的) opinion among most people. With a tough life inevitably comes a tough language---and that is what poetry is and why poetry is needed. It offers people a way to talk about the difficult-to-describe things in life, like death, suffering, profound joy and transformation. So whenever I hear someone say that poetry is not a must, or it’s an option, or it’s only for the educated middle classed, I suspect that he or she must have had things pretty easy.But how can people live without poetry when poetry is nothing but a ceaseless flow of genuine human emotions? /unlike what the academics may tell you, my suggestion about bring poetry into your lives is that don’t analyze it and don’t ask others to analyze it. Don’t deconstruct it or try to make meaning of it. Just find the poems that wake you up, that make you feel as if you’ve submerged (沉浸) yourself in a mineral hot spring or an ice bath. Find the poems that make you feel almost irrational joy or sadness. Find the poems that make you want to roll around in them or paint their colors all over your bedroom ceiling. Those are the poems you want to play with. Find the poems that communicate with the deepest parts your being and welcome them in.If finding others’ poems no longer satisfies you, compose your own! You don’t have yo be a poet to compose poetry. After all, poetry is not a luxury only for members desire or genuine willingness to vent feelings. It’s about searching for the real meaning of life and also about giving meaning to life. Just like Walt Whitman’s “O Me! O Life!”, a poem that ends by speaking directly to its readers: “the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse,” poetry is about everyone. And now I want to ask you the mother of all inspirational questions; “What will your verse be?”Inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s book:Why Be Happy When You Could be normal?70. The author thinks that poetry is very important for human beings because it ________.A. has nothing to do with the shared belief in utilityB. symbolizes a status as an educated middle classC. offers a medium for describing hard experiencesD. reveals a fundamental truth that life isn’t all roses71. To appreciate poetry by academic standards, one should first ________.A. deconstruct and making meaning of itB. enjoy a mineral hot spring or an ice bathC. paint it over his or her bedroom ceilingD. get consumed by irrational joy or sadness72. The author quoted Walt Whitman’s poem “O Me! O Life!” to emphasize that ________.A. only a true poet can write poemsB. no poem can appeal to everyoneC. life feels just like a powerful playD. every human is entitled to poetry73. The best title for the text may be ________.A. Composing PoetryB. Poetry for LifeC. The Art of poetryD. Analyzing poetry(C)A scene from China’s biggest soap opera last year, Ode to Joy Season 2, has triggered much discussion on whether virginity is still a prized asset for women in “modern” China. In the scene, Qiu Yingying, a young but naive character, holds a dinner party to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, but the evening turns dramatic after her neighbour accidentally exposes her past relationship. Her boyfriend, Ying Qin, storms off, furious, expressing his thought that having sex before marriage is a moral spot for a woman.However controversial the show is, it does reveal a universal phenomenon that sex education in China is often relatively backward and of minor significance. Parents very rarely share information about sex with children. What almost all parents do, however, is to warn their children, especially daughters not to have any dates before they graduate from university, fearing that they get hurt or become pregnant. There are stories of biology teachers skipping details of the reproductive system in class and ask students to learn it by themselves. Chinese communities also traditionally expect virginity before marriage.Ren Yi, a student from East China Normal University, said it was perfectly reasonable for a boyfriend who was a virgin himself to require his girlfriend to be so. The only problem, she said, was if it was a double standard and the man expected virginity from a woman but not himself.The issue was also being discussed by her university classmates in WeChat. Someone questioned why there wasn’t gender equality when it came to virginity, but another said she couldn’t accept Ying Qin’s comment on women who had sex before marriage.While some still concentrate on virginity itself, others have shifted the focus of this debate.Zhu Pingping, a Shanghai-based English teacher, commented that even debating the topic was old-fashioned in the 21st Century. She thought it was “disgusting” for the show to make an issue of it in modern cities, women are more independent and liberated, she said.Her husband, Shen Peng, also a teacher, added that not everyone will and can advance with the times as he or she ages and some even want to restore the so-called traditional Chinese virtues of being a woman (女德), which from his perspective has long been used as a means to oppress women both physically and mentally throughout the history.“Teaching students knowledge about sex doesn’t mean we encourage them to eat the forbidden fruit. Actually, it is just the opposite, because only when sex---like other aspects of lives---is dealt with frankly and appropriately in the educational process can the healthy growth of children raised in it be truly encouraged,” he said.74. Which one of the following might be Wrong according to the first two paragraphs?A. The TV series Ode to Joy Season 2 has brought female virginity to attention.B. Qiu Yingying’s relationship has been buried with her previous romance revealed.C. Parents and teachers tend to avoid answering questions about sex from children.D. Sex education in China has weighed strongly in the current educational system.75. It can be learned from the three interviewees’ opinions that ________.A. a double standard encouraged in attitudes towards virginity is allowedB. the topic on virginity is still worth public discussion in the present dayC. keeping pace with the times is not necessarily a natural outcome of ageD. teaching students sex is likely to lead them to have sex at an early age76. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Measures to advocate sex educationB. Historical evidence of female oppressionC. Professional comments on the showD. Examples to illustrate the virginity issue77. The author’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. introduce a popular TV dramaB. explain a universal phenomenonC. criticize the current educationD. arouse people’s food for thoughtSection B (8)Directions:In the article, 4 sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable ones from the list A-AC to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There are TWO which do not fit in any of the gaps.(D)The Museum of InnocenceLove and Madness in IstanbulIt’ s all an elaborate (详尽的) and precisely constructed lie: a museum built to tell the story of a self-referential book created around the contents of the soon-to-finish museum. A tale of love and loss, but mainly madness, which is entirely fictional but in which the very real author plays a central narrative role. It is the Museum of Innocence.The story focuses on the character of Kemal (凯末尔) and his love for a beautiful shop girl and distant cousin Fusun (芙颂). Kemal’s story is one of lust, obsession and eventual ruin. Were the character real. I expect that most of us would distance ourselves from him in the same way that Istanbul’s high society do in the novel. (78) ________. And this is especially the case when one reads through Kemal’s story of madness and presents himself or herself in the collection of objects that represent Kemal’s love and loss.The museum follows the narrative of the book precisely presenting 83 displays that each reflects one of the book’s 83 chapters to accompany the storyline (79) ________. In this case, as in many, the items that we accumulate in our lives are the reminders to help us recall those memories.(80) ________. Mounted on the ground floor is a display of 4,213 cigarette stubs, each noted with a time or date or comments speaking to the very moment it touched her hands, her lips, and so became a part of her story.Though it’s hard to match the visual appeal of that first display, representing chapter 68 of the book, thecombination of sights and sounds throughout the three-story museum evokes (换起) the story in a way that reading alone couldn’t hope to do. (81) ________. You could surely visit the museum without having read the book or give it a read with no intention to visit the museum but, frankly, you shouldn’t pick up a copy a month or two before a trip to Istanbul, and give yourself the pleasure of experiencing the story twice in different forms.If, like Kemal, you find yourself longing for some tangible physical reminder of the experience? Not to worry, there’s a well-stocked gift shop full of small souvenirs and Orhan Pamuk’s other works.Ⅵ.

2018-2019 杨浦区控江中学高二英语第一学期期中试卷Section A(20’)Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Physed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程),but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is (21)(teach) skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences (22)they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.(23)(consider) that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought(24)be put into physed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also (25)(start) up physed programs (26)school boards often “put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting (27)entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered,” says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in physed programs is partly due to the lack of (28)national standard.“Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum,” she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed (29)effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野) (30)when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.【答案】21. to teach 26. because 22. so that23.Considering24.must/should27.it28.a29.how25.starting30. than(B)The problem with much mobile technology is that it’s not really designed to be used while you’re actually mobile. The human brain can only pay attention to about three things at a time –and concentrate effectively on just one of them. Even though the consequences of smartphone distraction are sometimes (31) _____ (amuse), they can also be serious.The number of children (32) _____ (admit) to hospitals after accidents in public playgrounds climbed by about a third in five years, according to NHS data. Experts in both Britain and the US, (33)_____ a similar rise has occurred suggest some of the increase may be a result of parents being too distracted by their phones (34) _____ (take) care of their children properly.And now (35)comes evidence showing that 11-year-old children are three times more likely to be hurt or seriously injured on the way to and from school than 10-year-olds, since 11 is the average age (36)children receive their first mobile phone, six times (37) _____ (likely) to be sending a text when it happens.A quarter of children surveyed admitted that they (38)(distract) by personal technology (39)crossing the road. “There is,” the report concluded, “a clear connection (40) _____ the use of technology and the time of serious accidents with children.”【答案】31. amusing32. admitted33. where34. to take35. comes36. at which37. more likely38. had been distracted39. while/when40. betweenSection BDirections: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.English has become the dominant language for worldwide communication business. For many people this is a convenience. Increased use of English is regarded as a(an)41that simply developed gradually over time. Others see the use of English quite42. For them, it is a form of economic, social and political domination and control. It is, they argue, a form of imperialism(帝国主义).If English were used only for diplomacy, probably few would43. But it is used for more than international relations. Because the use of English and other world languages is so widespread, especially in schools, the worry is that languages with fewer speakers will be44. Over several generations, the most useful language45the others.Are there ways for speakers of other languages, particularly “minor” languages, to oppose the domination of “major” world languages if they so choose? One kind of46is to work with others to see that local languages are taught in schools. Perhaps there can be meetings of speakers in the same way that there have been summits for major languages such as Arabic, French, and Spanish. In order to47linguistic, economic and political cooperation, the French-speaking countries set up an international organization,much like the British Common-wealth. These are all ways to deal with a perceived threat of cultural uniformity. Groups cope with this threat by working together.However, the difficulties faced by minority languages are quite different from those faced by languages such as French. French is a major language that is losing speakers, but minority languages are on the48of disappearing completely. Linguicide(语言灭绝), some people argue, is the49of ethnocide(种族文化灭绝), the death of a culture, and that has typically been a tool of colonization( 殖民地化). The loss of a minority language can make a community feel like it’s been taken over by others. The dangers to minority language do not come from English alone. Around the world minority languages are50by both local and international events.【答案】41-45 J B K I A46-50 F D C H GIII.Reading Comprehensionsection A (15 分)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

A. satisfy B. relax C. identify D. better【答案】51-65 ACDDA BDCAC BCADBSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Learning to live as friendsThe human race seems to be faced with a crisis after ourbest go players were defeated one by one by the artificialintelligence (AI) Alpha Go, We lost our pride of being at thetop of the intelligence chain. And in October when SaudiArabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia anotherprivilege of being human was taken away. It looks like every sing that separates humans and AI is at risk.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything ”,there’s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang,winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette,that “something” is our consciousness.“AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way , but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions – Do I like playing Co? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?” she once said.In other words,computer programs don’t have a choice to say “no”.They probably don’t even know what a “choice” is – all they ever do is calculate. And to He Huaihong,a philosophy professor at Peking University,imagination andcreativityare also what make us special. A machine couldn’t have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple,he said.It’s human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts,something that a machine—which works by fixed rules only—can't do,at least for now.This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans,we should probably “consider ou r quality at a different end of the spectrum(光谱):creativity,originality,even plain illogical craziness,instead of hard-nosed(顽固的)logic”,he wrote.So maybe in the future,as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent,humans and A1 will learn to u se each other’s talents for good.If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us,we’11 have more time to create,think,and be busy with “being human”.66.According to Hao Jingfang,AlphaGo______.A.It will be taught to say no in the future.B.It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C.It has difficulty answering personal questions.D.It is unable to think independently as humans do.67.What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A.Intelligence. B.Originality. C.The ability to make rules.D.The ability to make choices.68.What does the underlined word “overshadowed”in paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Competed with B.Taken control of C.Been more successful than D.Influenced 69.What could be the future of AI according to the author?A.It will be used to help humans,rather than compete with us.B.It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C.It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D.It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.【答案】66-69 D B C A(B)Forget Cyclists,Pedestrians are Real DangerWe are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from our readers.■Yes , many cyclists behave dangerously . Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists . But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the welfare of others.--Michael Horan ■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists(Viewpoints,May 29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets ,fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.--Carol Harvey ■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cyclelane right next to him.Other road users,including horse riders,manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?It's about time they had to be registered and insured , so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.--JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper..70.Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that_____A.drivers should be polite to cyclists B.road accidents can actually be avoidedC.some pedestrians are a threat to road safety D.walking while using phones hurts one's eyes 71.Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should______.A.be provided with enough roads B.be asked to ride on their own lanesC.be made to pay less tax for cycling D.be fined for laughing at policemen72.What is a complaint of JML?A.Very few drivers are insured.B.Cyclists ride fast on pavements.C.Pedestrians go through red traffic lights. D.Horse riders disrespect other roadusers.73.The three letters present viewpoints on______.A.real source of road danger B.ways to improve road facilitiesC.measures to punish road offences D.increased awareness of road rules.【答案】70-73 CDBA(C)Hepburn and Givenchy: a Fashion Love StoryParis was already the fashion capital of the world by the 1950’s.It was the home of Coco Chanel, the revolutionary designer who was popular for wearing her string of pearls. It was a center for artists from all walks of life. Hubert de Givenchy, an unknown designer in his twenties, opened his first house in Paris in February 1952. Little did he know that a new year later, his life would change after meeting a girl named Audrey Hepburn.Hepburn, fresh from success of her fit film Roman Holiday, was on journey to Paris in the summer of 1953. She was there to purchase French clothing for her upcoming film Sabrina (《龙凤配》). Having heard of Givenchy’s modern designs, the 24 hour-year-old actress soon scheduled a visit to his house.When the designer heard that a movie actress with the surname Hepburn was due to pay hima visit, he assumed that he would be meeting Katharine, the Hollywood legend. He was confusedwhen a girl appeared at his door with large, attractive eyes and wearing a plain stripped T-shirt and trousers. Givenchy was busy preparing for his fall presentation, so he told Hepburn that he had no time to design a wardrobe (全部服装)for Sabrina.Despite being turned down, Hepburn would not give up. She invited him to dinner, whichwas unusual for a woman to do back then. Givenchy accept her call and it was at dinner that he was taken by her charm.Their fruitful professional and lifelong personal friendship began.For the next four decades, Hepburn wore Givenchy with great devotion. Most famously, in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, she wore a “little black dress” made out of silk when having a croissant(羊角面包)outside Tiffany’s window of Fifth avenue.The dress is said to be one of the most famous and influential pieces of 20th century.Many designers have a muse (灵感的源泉), but the Hepburn-Givenchy relationship was something more symbiotic. With Hepburn at his muse, Givenchy drew inspiration for his designs from her slender body, elegance and movie star charm. On the other hand, Hepburn was so fascinated by Givenchy’s work that she kept loyal to him over the years. Most of her casual wear was designed by Givenchy as well.It may not be a traditional love story, but love may come in different forms. For Hepburn and Givenchy, the friendship endured the test of time because of their respect for each other., fueled by the two things they loved: fashion and the movies.74.According to the article, it was in the early 1950s that Herbert de Givenchy ______________.A. Rose to fame with Coco ChannelB. started his own business in ParisC.met Katharine Hepburn for the first timeD. designed the wardrobe for Roman Holiday75.Which words best describe Audrey Hepburn when she first met Givenchy?A. Good-looking and persistentB. attractive and nervousC.Bad tempered and stubbornD. Ordinary and shy76.The underlined word in the 6th paragraph probably describes a relationship between people who ______________.A. Take advantage of each otherB. are totally different from each otherC.Knownothing about each other D. depend on each other equally77.According to the article, Givenchy formed a lifelong friendship with Hepburn mainly because ______________.A. he was taken by her charmB. she served as his museC. they had common interestD. they cared for each other【答案】74-77BADC(D)A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter The implication is that Millennials(千禧一代)prefer news from the White House to be filtered(过滤)through other source, not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills Such a trend is badly needed. During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford And a survey conducted for Buzz Feed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14and24 found they use “distributed trust”(分布式信任)to verify stories They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias “Many young peo ple assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect A 2014 survey conducted in Australia,Britain,and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is”reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting About a third say the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration(夸张)of actual news” via social media In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting(抵消)this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor inchief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.78.According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on_________.A.the justification of the news-filtering practiceB.people’s preference for social media platformsC.the administrations ability to handle informationD.social media was a reliable source of news79.The underlined word in paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. strengthenB.boastC.defineD.share80.According to the knight foundation survey, young people __________.A.tend to voice their opinions in cyberspaceB.check news by referring to diverse resourcesC.have s strong sense of responsibilityD.like to exchange views on “distributed trust”81.The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is __________.A. readers outdated valuesB. journalists’ biased reportingC. readers’misinterpretation D. journalists’ made-up stories82.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News OnlineB.A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting TrendC.The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social MediaD.The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests【答案】78-82 DABCASection C (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. For me, this has struck home (触及痛处).B. for in its best form, this kind of travel has very little impact, or indeed has a positive effect, on the environments where it takes place.C. In doing so we are therefore assured of decreasing our impact on the delicate environments.D. And the incident is probably the result of a terrible systemic failure.E. The feeling was that of complete disregard (漠视)for the bear and the environment in which it lived.F. This is not something that is taken lightly.Should Ecotourism Be AllowedThe image was shocking, and the response was entirely predictable. The sight of a polar bear lying stricken (受严重侵害的)on a beach --blood matting the fur of its neck, with one huge paw folded under its body -- received immediate criticism globally. By the shore in the background stand a group of guides, talking to each other. One of them had a rifle hanging casually on his shoulder. ________83__________. The reality, however, is considerably more complex.This powerful image has thrown into question the motivation for this kind of tourism, or ecotourism. Should we be in these environments at all?Are there regions in the world where nature should be left completely untouched? Does our proximity ( 接近)to large animals in the wild, frequently fuelled by a desire for sensational images, lead to such animals becoming accustomed to human contact? If that is the case, surely the losing side will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity.Before answering these questions, we should first consider the incident that has caught global attention. _______84________. I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard(斯瓦尔巴群岛), and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot.To put it simply, the bear's death should never have happened. _______85____________. Was the beach examined from the ship offshore beforehand? Were the clients themselves closely supervised to prevent one becoming isolated? Was there access to flares (照明弹)to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures for any respected operator.Nevertheless, the image and the incident should not be used to criticize the concept of ecotourism, _______86_______. This can be by making financial donations to conservationgroups, providing income to local communities, or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals. In the case of Svalbard, visitors often become ambassadors for the endangered polar bear, increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger facing them is the recession (后退)of ice in the Arctic Ocean.Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates. Simply closing off these regions is not the answer. The key is responsibility and research before booking. When ecotourism is conducted correctly, the benefits are direct, immediate and long-lasting.【答案】E A D BIV. SummaryDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Marathons can be bad for your health, scientists have warned after a study found 80 per cent of competitors suffer kidney(肾) injury because of dehydration(脱水).Researchers said that although the kidneys of the participants in the 26.2 mile race fully recovered within two days, their findings raise questions concerning the potential long-term impact at a time when marathons are increasing in popularity.The findings were published by the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, as thousands of people prepare for next month's London Marathon.Previous research has shown that engaging in unusually vigorous activities - such as military training - in warm climates can damage the kidneys, but little is known about the effects of marathon running.A team of researchers led by Professor Chirag Parikh, of Yale University in the US, studied a small group of participants in the 2015 Hartford Marathon.They collected blood and urine( 尿液 ) samples before and after the event. They analysed a variety of markers of kidney injury, including serum creatinine levels, kidney cells on microscopy, and proteins in urine.The researchers found that 82 per cent of the runners that were studied showed Stage 1 AcuteKidney Injury (AKI) soon after the race. AKI is a condition in which the kidneys fail to filter waste from the blood.Prof Parikh said: "The kidney responds to the physical stress of marathon running as if it's injured, in a way that's similar to what happens in hospitalised patients when the kidney is affected by medical and surgical complications(并发症)."The researchers stated that potential causes of the marathon-related kidney damage could be the sustained rise in core body temperature, dehydration, or decreased blood flow to the kidneys that occur during a marathon.While the measured kidney injury resolved within two days of running the marathon, the researchers said the study still raises questions about the effects of repeated strenuous( 剧烈的 ) activity over time, especially in warm climates.【答案】Researchers of Yale University found marathon might cause kidney injury. The analysis of blood and urine samples shows most runners’ kidneys can’t filter waste very well within two days after the race. The rise in core body temperature, dehydration, or decreased blood flow may account for the problem. The finding raises concern about excessive vigorous activities in warm climate.I.

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfya deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set outto do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new worl d record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since then.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantly a year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say it’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a freehotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9.How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A.more than 3 B.more than 2 C.more than 4 D.more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A.never fight with others B.never be defeated by othersC.always fight with others D.always be defeated by others 11.According to the text , he got as the world champion .A.a gold medal B.a seat beltC.hot dogs for free the whole year D.a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?”or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.12. The passage is mainly about ______.A. importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job in terviewsB. the typical questions asked in job interviewsC. some common mistakes found in job interviewsD.Do’s and Don’ts in job interviews13. A "breaking the ice" type of question is _______.A. a question that makes people unhappyB. a sharp question that makes people angryC. an opening question asked to make people less nervousD. a question asked about serious topic14. All of the following are considered to be the interviewee’s qualifications except____.A. educational backgroundB. social backgroundC. all kinds of special training receivedD. experience in previous work15. ______ is not mentioned in the passage as a mistake found in job interviews.A. Leaving the mobile onB. Having no questionsC. Arriving lateD. Criticizing previous bosses 第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors. 16 .Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 17 , then probablychildren would buy less take-away food.18 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, longbefore children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their childrenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and saltyfoods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very littleexercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. 19 . What they need isto go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. 20 , as well as forcing themaway from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightB. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooC. If there were fewer of these restaurantsD. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF. I feel there are a number of reasons for thisG. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose第二部分. 英语知识运用(共两节,满分55分)第一节. 完形填空(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)One of Mark Twain’s classic novels is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

AMany years ago, when I was in high school I lost my wallet.My old car required to be fueled. I had prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠), and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to miss it when my phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my purse and to my horror, I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it, and I told him. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his wheelchair van and the ramp(斜坡) going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the ground. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just amazed.I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him for finding my wallet. I was stuck, th ough. While I didn’t want to hurt him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said, “Just pass it on.”It was about 10 years later that I found one. I almost stepped on it when I was shopping at a supermarket! It took my several days to track down the young man to whom the wallet belonged. He was actually surprised his money was still in the wallet and he tried to hand me a $20. I told him, “Thanks, but just pass it on.”1.Where did the author most probably lose his wallet?A.Near a wheelchair ramp. B.At his school.C.At a supermarket. D.At a gas station.2. When the man called, the author ____________.A. hadn’t realized he had lost h is wallet.B. was looking for his wallet anxiously.C. was worried about the money in his wallet.D. was afraid that it would be hard to get his wallet back.3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.The man was disabled.

C.The author regretted what he had done D.The author witnessed the difficulty the man met.4.Why did the author get stuck?A.The man didn’t invite him to take a seat.B.He was wondering how to express his thanks.C.He didn’t know how to repay the man’s kindness.D.He hesitated over how much money he should give the man.BI first began experiencing anxiety and depression when I was a 14-year-old boy after being bullied(欺凌) at school for years. While at first it would come and go, anxiety and depression eventually became a constant presence in my life. It was like a lasting cough that eventually starts to get better, only to come back worse than before. Only unlike a cough, where usually I am still able to function, anxiety and depression hits like a ton of bricks and even the idea of getting out of bed seems to be a goal that gets to be less and less achievable.I tried everything: special teas, yoga, vitamins and anything read about in books and advicegi ven by doctors, but in vain. I started to believe that I’d have to live the rest of my life with this dark cloud. Until one day, I fell upon an article that talked about how dogs were able to help people with their mental health. So I decided to get a dog.When I brought Buddy home, I didn’t realize how much he would change my life. I woke up one morning and felt those familiar feelings again: the weight on my shoulders and the feelings of hopelessness. I knew that the anxiety and depression had come back hard. I didn’t want to get outof bed. That’s when I came face to face with Buddy.Buddy started jumping over me, kissing my face. It was as if he was saying, “It’s no time to be sad. The world is rather frightening!” And for the first time in my life, o n a day when my anxiety and depression was present full force, I got out of bed. I put on my coat and went for a walk in the snow with my new best friend. This was my new beginning.I finally realized the answer to my long question of how to manage anxiety and depression- exercise, laughter and love – all things that were impossible for me before, were achieved by getting a dog.5.How does a cough differ from anxiety and depression according to the author?A.A cough is hard to cure.B.Anxiety and depression often occurs at night.C.A cough can’t stop him functioning.D.Anxiety and depression can easily got rid of.6. How did the author have the idea of raising a dog?A. He read it in an article.B. A doctor instructed him.C. He got if from dog lovers.D. A friend offered him the suggestion.7. What does the author mainly tell us?A. The benefits of raising a dog.B. How he took care of his dog.C. The harmful effect of anxiety and depression.D. How he fought against anxiety and depression.CBy mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technological lives. What will our cities be like? How will we eat? Will global warning cause damaging changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate crisis(危机)?Changes in where people live will certainly be great. Rockefeller University mathematical biologist Joel Cohen says it’s likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in the city, and will have a much higher average age than people today.And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. At the same time, theInternet will continue to greatly change media, destroying the traditional model of what a news organization is.And we’ll live longer and remain healthier. Patricia Bloom, a professor in Mt. Sinai Hospital, says people may not all live to be 120, but is possible that we’ll be able to help people enjoy good health as they age. AIDS research pioneer David Ho says HIV/AIDS will still be with us, but we’ll know a lot more about the virus than we do today and treatments will be much more effective. At the same time, Jay Parkinson, the founder of Hello Health says the health care industry has a huge opportunity to change the way it communicates with patients by imagining individual health in relation to happiness.In terms of how we’ll eat, green markets founder Nina Planck is optimistic that there will be more local food operations and we’ll be healthi er as a result. He thinks people will eat fewer processed foods, and eat foods grown closer to where they live. Besides, more people will grow and preserve land-raised farm systems.8.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By listing numbers.B.By asking questions.C.By predicting changes.D.By showing background9.According to the text, which of the following will happen by 2050?A.Fewer people will live in urban areas.B.The Internet will no longer affect media.C.People will generally live for over 120 years.D.People will have a better knowledge of HIV virus.10.In Nina Planck’s opinion, what will people do in the middle of this century?A.They’ll stay away from processed foods.B.They’ll grow food by themselves.C.They’ll eat locally p roduced foods.D.They’ll eat more highly processed foods.11. What can be the best title for the text?A.What will life be like in 2050?B.Technological advances in 2050C.Great changes to happen in 2050D.How will the society develop in 2050?DVal entine’s Day is one of those rare holidays that are enjoyed by almost everyone in the world. But how did it begin? While there are many legends(传说), the most popular one dates back to 270 AD. According to the legend, Emperor Claudius II, the ruler of the Roman Empire did not allow young men to get married before heading to war. He believed that single men made better soldiers because they were more focused.But a Roman clergyman(牧师) named Valentine did not agree and helped many couples get married secretly. When the Emperor found out, he sentenced him to death. While in prison, Valentine fell in love with a girl and just before he was executed on February14, he sent her a note signed-‘From Your Valentine’. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius set aside the day to honor S t. Valentine and a fun tradition was born!The Pope, of course, was not the one who changed it into a commercial(商业的) holiday. That credit goes to Richard Cadbury, a member of the famous British chocolate company, and Massachusetts business-woman Esther Howland. The former came up with the brilliant idea of selling bite-sized chocolates packaged in heart-shaped boxes.Candies and cards remain the biggest Valentine’s Day gifts till this day. Americans spend over $1 billion on chocolate. Also popular, are sweethearts. According to the manufacturers plenty of the 8 billion candy conversation hearts made annually are sold between January 1 and February 14.With over 145 million cards exchanged in the US and over a billion worldwide, Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest moneymakers for greeting card companies. It is second only to Christmas when 2.6 billion cards are sold. Flowers are also very popular. About 51% of people, primarily men buy red roses for their loved ones.12.Why didn’t Emperor Claudius II let young men get married before heading to war?A.He liked single men more than married men. B.He thought single men were easily distracted.C.He thought single men could become better soldiers. D.He thought single men were braver than married ones.13. What does the underlined word “executed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Praised.B. Killed.C. Beaten.D. Admired.14.What can we know from the text?A.The re are more cards sold on Christmas than on Valentine’s Day.B.The Pope changed the holiday into a commercial one.C.Valentine was killed because he got married secretly.D.Most of the greeting cards are bought for parents.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.How to choose Valentine gifts.B.The most popular gifts on Valentine’s Da y.C.How to make money on festivals.D.The brief history of Valentine’s Day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。

Before long a fellow in a canoe passed and shouted, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?""No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith in God and he will save me."Soon the water rose to Smith's waist. At this point a motor boat pulled up and someone called out, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?""No, thanks, I have faith in God and he will save me."Later a helicopter flew by, and Smith was now standing on the roof with water up to his neck. "Grab the rope, "shouted the pilot. "I'll pull you up.""No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith in God and he will save me. "But after hours of struggling with water, poor exhausted Smith drowned and went to his reward. As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this.

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.63. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it64. The underlined word “luminous” means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlight65. ________ have light of their own.A. The sun and the moonB. The stars and the earthC. The sun and the starsD. The moon and the earth66. Which of the following is true?A. All the things you can see give off light.B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.D. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.DMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.67. Alfred’s business was _____.A. making and selling explosivesB. not making and selling weaponsC. making explosives and selling weaponsD. making weapons and selling explosives68. Nobel wanted to set up the Nobel Peace Prize because _____.A. he made enough moneyB. he liked to live in a peaceful worldC. he hated warD. he wanted to get more interest from the fund69. Nobel Prizes come from _____.A. all Nobel’s money in the fundB. all Nobel’s money in his companyC. all the interest from the fundD. some of the interest in the fund70.

高二年级第一学期期中考试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共60分)第一节(每题3分,共15小题,满分45分)AState schoolsAll children in England between the ages of 5 and 16 have the right to get afree place at a state school.Most state schools have to follow the national courses.The most common ones are:●community schools, controlled by the local government and not influenced by businessorreligious groups● foundation schools and voluntary schools, which have more freedom to change theway they do things than community schools● academies(学校), independent from the local government -- they can follow adifferent course● grammar schools, run by the government - they select all or most of their pupilsbased on academic ability and there is often an exam to get inSpecial schoolsSpecial schools with pupils at 11 and older can specialize in l of the 4 areas ofspecial educational needs:●communication and interaction● cognition(认知) and learning●social, emotional and mental health●sensory and physical needsSchools can further specialize in what. the students really need: autistic disorders,visual problems, or speech, language and communication needs and so on..Private schools Known as "independent schools ", they charge fees to attend insteadof being funded by the government. Pupils don't have to follow the nationalcurriculum. All private schools must be registered with the government and areinspected regularly.Free schoolsFree schools are funded by the government but aren't run by the local council. Theyhave more control over how they do things. They're "all-ability" schools, so theycan't use academic selection processes like a grammar school.Free schools can:● set their own pay and conditions for staff● change the length of school terms and the school day● don't have to follow the national curriculum1. What is the author's purpose in writingA. To stress school education in English is freeB. To tell readers there are a few types of schools in EnglishC. To make an advertisement for England schools.D. To advise parents to send their children to a state school in England.2. What will you focus on as a special school teacher?A. How to help children develop intelligence.B. How to treat visual problems in a better way.C. How to guide children to talk with each other.D. How to make children become healthier.3. What do you know about free schools mentioned above?A. The local council takes charge of them.B. They have the right to decide the school terms.C. They have to adopt national curriculum.D. They educate clever and excellent students.BThe most important lessons in life that we need to learn are the results of our poor decisions. Although time and experience are the best teachers, we also suffer from experiences such as our sacrifices, suffering and the hardships. Good judgment develops only when we truly learn from our mistakes. However, many people keep repeating the same mistakes before learning their lessons because as they say, they are just humans who are subject to making mistakes.Our weaknesses in life can be turned into our strengths if we immediately acknowledge and recognize the fact that we mess up and learn from them. Our good or bad experiences help us learn better judgment in life. Yet, too many people are in denial and place the blame on others without realizing that the minute they take responsibility for their action is when the learning process begins. Aside from learning from our own experience, we can also learn valuable lessons from the experience of others. It allows us to observe our behavior from another angle. When we recognize our mistakes and prevent them from happening again, we are, therefore, learning.Quickly identifying our mistakes and changing behavior accordingly requires less time and energy than denying mistakes. However, acknowledgement of mistakes requires belief in the idea that the perfection is not possible.It is easier to analyze our mistakes especially when we talk to others, which can help people to sort out comments or criticisms after a mistake is made. Despite our tendency to avoid mistakes, timely acknowledgement is one of the best ways to prevent them from repeating.4.What does learning from the experience of others help us do?A. Re-evaluate our behavior differently.B. Realize that mistakes are part of life.C. Recognize the results of mistakes.D. Learn better judgment in life.5. What should we keep in mind to admit our mistakes?A. Every man has his faults.B. Mistakes are great teacher.C. Behind bad luck comes good luck.D. As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.6. According to the author, how should we avoid repeating mistakes?A. Think twice before acting.B. Learn carefully from others’ comments.C. Have a timely talk with others for advice.D. Admit the existence of mistakes in time.7.Which of the following opinions does the author intend to convey the most?A. Never be afraid of making mistakes.B. Learn wisdom from our mistakes.C. Learn from others to see our mistakes.D. Stop being ashamed of making mistakes.CI liked being a mess.My desk was always surrounded with bowls of food grain,sour milk and old magazines.My floor was full of sweaters,stuffed animals,socks,shoes (I)could’t always see these things,but I knew that they were safe,lying somewhere.One day in August,all of my friends and family members were doing their own businesses.I told my mom that I didn’t know what to do and she advised me to clean my room.When I opened the door to my bedroom,everything was in its usual messy arrangement.I became aware of the moldy(发霉)smell and noticed a spider(蜘蛛)on top of my mirror.I suddenly felt terrible for everything in my room that I had buried and had an urge to make them reappear.In a box buried under old textbooks,I found a letter that my grandfather had written me at camp.I remembered my dad rocking me to sleep the night Grandfather died,and how the tears wouldn’t stop.Tears began to roll down my cheeks again.In the drawer next to my bed,I found a friendship watchband from my childhood best friend,Aubrey,who had given it to me before she moved to California.I had lost so many precious childhood memories over time,letting them slip away into the tide like grains of sand.Under my bed I even found that picture of my mom and me in Jamaica.I started at that girl,barely able to recognize this person who had drowned in the mess of my room so many years before.I decided to completely re-organize and clean my room so that all the books,belts.and baskets were in their right place.It was like finding the missing pieces of the puzzle.The finishing touch was framing that photo and hanging it high up on my wall.Afterall,it was me I had been searching for.8.Paragraph 1 is mainly about the author’s___________.A.disorganized lifestyleB.regular study habitsC.unusual hobbiesD.busy life9.How did the author feel when she saw a spider in her bedroom?A.FrightenedB.CuriousC.AshamedD.Excited10.What did the author realize when she was doing the clean-up?A.Her mom loved her very muchB.It was important to find her placeC.She had lost many fond memriesD.Friendship didn’t change over time11.What does the underlined word “It”in paragraph 5 refer to?A.Thinking of the pastB.Tidying up the roomC.Sorting through the photosD.Reading letters from friendsDThe Ouch Podcast(播客)talks about news and issues affecting those with a disability,all with a humorous touch added to the mix.I’ve been listening to it on off for a few months and their recent topic was about public transport.They shared some stories about rudeness and other about funny circumstances.While they were talking about their local transport system the opinions and stories they shared are common to all of us.Those of you that have a disability,and those of you who travel with people who do are aware of the problems that can arise.Many of the buses in my local area are the accessible kind.But some are the old kind with steps.If you have mobility issues it can be a great challenge each time you decide to catch the bus.Hopefully the old buses will be phased out over time.During the prodcast one of the hosts,Kathleen,talks about the issues that affect her.I can empathise(产生共鸣)with her and her experiences.I’m sure many of you will be able to.How often do you board a bus or a train and find there aren’t any seats available?I rarely experience this on the bus but it’s common on the train.Like Kathleen I’d prefer to stand than draw attention to myself and try to explain to someone why I need a seat.There’s no gurrantee they’d move anyway.This is my choice however so I can’t blame others.My issue comes from the white knight behaviour of the other passengers.How many of you have received looks of disapproval when you’re seated but there are others standing who look like they need a seat?When I’m sitting down I look just as capableas everyone else,which leads to requests and demands to give up my seat.It’s only when I stand up and they see me walk and watch me try to maintain balance that they realize I’m not.Don’t forget to check out the Ouch Podcast.I’m sure they’ll have something you can relate to.You can listen to them at audioBoom or on the BBC website.12.What is special about the Ouch Podcast?A.It’s quite practicalB.It’s pretty inspringC.It’s about the latest news.D.It’s about disabled people.13.Which can best replace the underlined part “phased out ”in paragraph 3?A.Shown offB.Stopped usingC.Made full use ofD.Introduced gradually14.Why does the author prefer to stand instead of asking for help while on a train?A.To keep fitB.Because he is shyC.To avoid embarrassmentD.Because he is considerate.15.What bothers the author according to paragraph 6?A.Receiving looks of sympathyB.Looking disabled while standingC.Having trouble keeping his balance.D.Being asked to give his seat to others.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
