2020-2021学年辽宁省大连市第四十八高级中学高二英
语下学期期末试卷含解析
一、选择题
1. Every possible means ______ to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear.
A. is used
B. are used
C. has been used
D. have been used
参考答案：
C
2. It's not the________itself, but the ________you make use of that is responsible for the failure.
A. manner; way
B. method; manner
C. manner; method
D. way; method
参考答案：
B
method意指具体的技术或操作方法；way为普通用语，既指解决某一问题的方法，也指运用某种方法过程所表现出来的个性或风格；manner意义同way，只是较为正式的说法。

排除A主要是鉴于正式用语manner和非正式用语way不宜同时用于同一个语言环境里。

3. University of Cambridge, ______________ in 1209, is home to a great number of outstanding figures.
A. found
B. founding
C. founded
D. to be founded
参考答案：
C
考查非谓语动词。

句意：成立于1209年的剑桥大学,是很多杰出人物的起源地。

使用非谓语动词作定语，“University of Cambridge”与“found”为动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语修饰“University of Cambridge”，故选C。

A. as; to deal with
B. who; to deal with
C. whom; to be dealt with
D. who; to be dealt with
参考答案：
A
【详解】考查定语从句和动词不定式。

句意：你刚才提到的这种人在我们的生活中真的很难对付。

分析句子可知，此句为定主从句。

其中的先行词为a person，先行词a person 被such修饰，定语从句中如果先行词被such修饰时，要用关系词as。

第二个空考查的是Sb. is+adj. to do句式。

因此要用动词不定式的主动形式。

此句是指“你刚才提到的这个人在我们的生活中真的很难对付”。

因此只有A符合题意。

14. The problem referred to at the class meeting, if ______________ in time, will make a bad effect on everyone in our class.
A. not dealt with
B. not to deal with
C. not being dealt with
D. not dealing with
参考答案：
A
15. He was old, and he wanted to ________the business to his son.
A. turn over
B. turn down
C. turn out
D. turn to
参考答案：
A
句意：他老了，他想把生意移交给他的儿子。

turn over“移交”；turn down“拒绝；把……调低”；turn out“结果是”；turn to“向……求助”。

16. Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will _______ the skill to do difficult things easily.
A．attribute B．acquire
C．accomplish D．achieve
参考答案：
B
【详解】
考查动词词义辨析。

句意：只有那些有耐心去完美地完成简单事情的人才能获得轻松完成难题的技巧。

A. attribute贡献； B. acquire获得；C. accomplish完成；D. achieve完成。

这里选项是与skill搭配，我们一般用获得(acquire)某种技能技巧，其它三个选项与skill搭配不符合逻辑，故选B项。

二、新的题型
17. Not too long ago, a young man asked me a question: how do you make study more fun? You can improve your study habits and make your process more enjoyable. It’s a matter of many things.
Manage your time

need to do and the time you need to do it: projects, tests, part-time work, homework, parties, doctor appointments.
Set the mood
First, choose a good study area. ____17____ Your spot may be in your dorm/bedroom or the library. If you prefer to lie on your bed or sit in a corner of the library, develop a study routine that will allow you to focus. Clean spaces are said to improve productivity. To help you focus, turn off your phone! And while you're at it, limit your access to the Internet.
Make it a game

When the timer goes off, give yourself a few minutes to relax, drink some water, etc. ___19___ Reward yourself Sweet treats and other snacks often come to mind as a “reward”, and that might work for you, but it’s also probably not a great idea to eat a bag of potato chips after every 25-minute study session.

三、阅读理解
19. A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term.
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
71. What is the aim of the plan?
A. To prevent the students' road accidents.
B. To relieve the traffic pressure.
C. To save time for the parents and students.
D. To help the parents save money.
72. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?
A. By letting the bus run in the morning only.
B. By limiting the number of the students.
C. By obtaining the support from the headmaster.
D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one.
73. The new bus service will be paid for by ______.
A. the parents
B. the local government
C. the bus company
D. the local government and the parents
74. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?
A. The bus company will make much more money.
B. The children can choose whatever school they like.
C. The parents can get rid of their worries.
D. The students in Impington school can have free bus rides.
75. This passage is most probably ______.
A. a personal letter
B. an advertisement
C. a headmaster's report
D. a newspaper article
