2015~2016学年度第一学期期中试卷高二英语第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共60分）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby.I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do s omething for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.1. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to________.A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. exchanging meals with the old manD. giving the juice to the old man2. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Kind and considerateB. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Humorous and helpful.3. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that____________.A. the old man could probably accept itB. he would become famous for his good deedC. more people would be inspired to do good deedsD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution. Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce no t only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.4. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ___________.A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsC. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersD. most people support buying locally5. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because___________.A. they are picked when they are fully grownB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are sent to the market at a high speed6. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ___________.A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will contribute to protecting the environmentC. you will become much healthier and prettierD. you are making money from your community7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The benefits of buying locally.CA classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.“This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to put off the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.8. It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.A. Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cabB. Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually neededC. Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driverD. Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City9. The policewoman told Lennon________.A. not to worry about the guitarB. to have a nice day in New York CityC. to wait with patienceD. to find the cab driver and talk to him10. Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?A. Finding a lost guitar.B. Finding the cab driver.C. Enjoying one's own lifeD. Finding murderers.11. The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．A. making people unfortunateB. making people feel sadC. making people losing moneyD. making people losing good luckDHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance（继承）or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere（干涉）in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.12. The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.A. go to libraries on weekendsB. buy expensive books in the bookstoreC. keep many books in their studiesD. have much interest in reading13. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.A. we can bring kings and queens back to lifeB. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeC. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hoursD. we can make friends with the people in the stories14. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.A. hard-workingB. enthusiasticC. learnedD. creative15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A. To advise readers to like reading.B. To explain the true meaning of reading.C. To tell readers how to read a book.D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.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。

杨仙逸中学2015-2016学年上学期中段考试卷高二英语第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从小每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AOne of the best-known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to reader s everywhere. Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children’s b ook was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.Doctor Strong’s books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s original(最早的) drawings and some of his writings.Most of Doctor Strong’s books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in nineteen eighty-four.Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand.1. Alfred Strong is a famous _______ in the United States.A. doctorB. artistC. writerD. reader2. Doctor Strong first became famous in _______.A. his eighties when an art show was travelling around the United StatesB. his fifties when his drawings and writings were publishedC. nineteen eighty-four when his book MeEligot’s Pool was publishedD. his thirties when his first book was published3. Doctor Strong’s books are very popular in America because _______.A. they are stories about animals such as cats, elephants and so onB. they are written in easy words with colourful picturesC. he organized the art show in CaliforniaD. they are written in a funny way4. His purpose in writing many such books is_______.A. to show his original pictures and drawingsB. to organize a special art show of his ownC. to make his readers laugh or smile when they read his booksD. not only to interest people but to expose (uncover) some serious social problemsBOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends，you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something，be there to help them. You should try to put them first，but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them—Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe，a famous U．S. actor，once said，“I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can't stay with me at my worst，you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.”Always remember this！If you don't want to stay with your friends when they're in hard times，then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!________—Try to make plans with your friends.Go shopping，go for ice cream，have a party，go to the movies and so on.Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together，you both can have a good time. And you'll remember these things when you're all old!5．While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings，you should ________．A．give him or her some advice B．just listen unless askedC．calm him or her down D．share your feelings as well6．When we provide help for our friends，we should ________．A．try to do everything for them B．put them before ourselvesC．change their bad habits first D．ignore their faults7．What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe's words?A．Life without a friend is death.B．A friend is easier lost than found.C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.D．A man is known by his friends.8．What is the passage mainly about?A．How to find a good friend.B．How to help friends in trouble.C．How to be a good friend.D．How to make more friends.CThirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced (离婚) and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. I loved him beyond all reason.I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy's looks. I never let out about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful，registered horses.When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance，we were quickly shown_the_gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say，she didn't feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn't need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky's smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy's neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence，jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second，third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finishline.As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds，I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.9．The underlined expression “shown the gate” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_____”．A．told how to enter the arenaB．shown how to make the horse beautifulC．removed from the competition earlyD．told to enter the timed speed events10．Why was the writer not confident of victory?A．He was an inexperienced rider.B．He had not practiced enough.C．He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.D．He thought his horse wasn't as good as the others.11．When the final race finished, nobody cheered because ________．A．the audience didn't like CowboyB．people envied the writerC．the win was unexpectedD．the writer had run out of time12．What did the writer learn from his experience?A．Life can sometimes be unfair.B．Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.C．A positive attitude will bring success.D．One should not make judgments based on appearance.DNeither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage(新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they lose—which is by no meansimpossible—we all lose.The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits(利润). As yet，they haven't figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won't even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too late—too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.The other big cuts, of course, are in staff(员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent.When experienced staff leave in large numbers—as they often do now—the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights(见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest(不太高的) pay.13．The underlined word “deadwood” in Paragraph 5 may refers to “________”．A．the staff who are going to retireB．workers who are experiencedC．people who are no longer useful or neededD．reporters who are tired of covering events14．According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?A．The author has no objection.B．The author opposes them.C．The author regards them reasonable.D．The author has not shown it explicitly.15．Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?A．Publishers. B．Readers. C．Editors. D．Writers.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。

More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would hap-pen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!It was getting late. They rode on and on.

It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.You might think that I don’t want to spend my summer reading, but that’s not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African-American writer ErnestGaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and librarians don’t understand that summe r reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books that a friend of my mother’s calls “spinach books”: good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get painful about the experience.This pain started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read “The Age of Innocence” by American author Edith Wharton. I’m sure there are many people who enjoyed “The Age of Innocence”—some might even say it’s their favorite book.But I don’t think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for b aseball. I couldn’t imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” was totally different from my life.Most of my required summer reading has been like that—books written in a style that plays with words. I guess teachers do n’t think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George V. Higgins, “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.41. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because _______.A. he doesn’t like reading in summer vacationB. he is to read the books boring and not right for kidsC. he hates the English teacher assigning homeworkD. he hates August42. What can make students interested in August reading ought to be ______.A. romanticB. out of dateC. entertaining and educationalD. pure43. The author listed such books as “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” because he thinks______.A. they can change his opinionB. he can learn a lot more from themC. they are of literary value, and enjoyableD. he has to do as teachers tell him to44. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be _______.A. one who describes events and characters in different waysB. one who is full of imaginationC. one who is learnedD. one who uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what tohappen next45. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. Why Can’t Teacher s Set Us Fun Books?B. I Don’t Like Reading on the VacationC. Teachers, Don’t Set Us Any Reading AssignmentsD. Teachers, Set Us FreeBWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes,’’our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The fi rst prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I'm going to spend mine on candies, a hopeful one would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then retu rn to our own projects with a growingsense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any ce rtainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster.I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, “What poster?” When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone applauded for me.46. What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet.D. It must include the words on the blackboard.47. The underlined phrase “conjured up” in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. formed an idea forB. made an outline forC. made some space forD. chose some colors for48. After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class _________.A. looked very seriousB. thought they would be richC. began to think about their designsD. began to play games49. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students _________.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize50. We can infer from the passage that the author ______________.A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very muchB. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competitionCThe US airline industry is facing a new threat to its profits-heavier passengers,a report has found. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average US adult put on ten pounds (4.5kg) of weight during the 1990s. Transporting the extra weight cost airlines an extra ＄275 million in fuel costs in 2000, the report says.Earnings at airlines have already been under pressure due to the decreasing demand and a record increase in the price of crude oil（原油）. In the US, a number of airlines have gone bust and others are struggling to survive in an ever more competitive market place. While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a traveler’s luggage and charge those that burst limits, it is much harder to regulate a person’s waistline. Some firms have toyed with the idea of(jokingly suggested) charging overweight travelers for two seats, but it is not a practice that has taken off industry-wide.Last year, the American Federal Aviation Administration increased the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads by ten pounds. Since then, crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.The rising level of obesity（过度肥胖）in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonald’s has taken the main force of the attack, and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier options, which has helped lift profits.As with fast food restaurants, timely adjustment may be the best solution presently for American airlines. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are set to become bigger.51．This passage is most probably taken from .A．a government report B．a yearly economy planC．an airline guidebook D．a magazine52．The underlined phrase “gone bust” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .A．become stronger B．got bannedC．failed financially D．expanded further53．The underlined word “those” (paragraph 2) most probably refers to ____________ .A．overweight travelers B．overloaded luggageC．travelers’ waistlines D．extra large seats54．What measures did many American airlines take in response to the record increase in the price of crude oil last year?A．They increased the average passenger weight when calculating aircraft loads.B．They brought up their ticket prices.C．They charged obese travelers for two seats.D．They overcharged travelers’ luggage.55．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A．Airline profits in America will be under even greater pressure.B．The population of obese people will increase rapidly.C．American airlines will close down.D．Fast food restaurants will be forced to change their menus.DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.56. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food57. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly.B. The small bird.C. The bear.D. The fox.58. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells59．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?A. Many animals recognize their food because they taste it.B. All the animals have a varied diet.C. Most animals depend on more than one sense.D. Eating too much red meat and animal products is beneficial to the health.60. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
