答案写在答题卡上。

AThe human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breather or smell. It is part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyranode Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man----brave, polite, manly and intellectual.Afamous women poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about the Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world.Historically, man’s nose had had a principalrole in hi s imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the noserefer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousyand revenge.In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up on e’s nose expresses a basic human feeling----pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. Aperson who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erassmus in 1542.This is only a sample of expressions in English dealing withthe nose. There are a number of others. however, it should be as plain as the nose on the face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!21. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A person who holds up his nose is easier to get angry.B. A person who is proud of himself is to hold up his nose.C. A person who is satisfied with himself always follows others.D. A person who hopes to have two noses is strong-minded.22. What does the underlined phrase “to be led around by the nose”mean?A. To be followed by somebody.B. To be controlled by somebody.C. To be under your nose.D. To pay through the nose.23. How does a person who has his nose put out of joint feel?A. Worried.B. Pleased.C. Proud and happy.D. Hurt and unaccepted.24. What do you know from the last sentence of this passage?A. It is hard to know that the nose is not only for smelling.B. The nose is really just an organ for breathing and smelling.C. It’s clear that a nose’s function is more than breathing and smelling.D. Itis not important that a nose has other functions except these two.B“Two yuan+ luck=5million yuan”. These eye-catching banners and posters blanket the nation. Our life has been filled with “lottery tickets”(彩票).Most people become extremely happy at the mere mention of lottery tickets. Why are they so eager to buy them? Do they consider the lottery a good way to contribute to society? Or do they just seize the chance for personal gain?A recent survey in major Chinese cities shows that more than 80 percent of lottery buyers take out their money with the purpose of “wining more money lack”and “Being a millionaire in a short time.”These words on an advertising leaflet may be the truly most attractive to lottery selling stations.Allowing themselves the pleasure of imagination of becoming an overnight millionaire, many lottery buyerscan’t keep a cool heart. If their “investment”on which they have strong hope ends up in smoke, which is usually the case, they are likely to experience low spirits or even give up all hopes.Sixteen years ago, the government of Fuzhou gave a notice forbidding all lotteries. The notice said that all lottery tickets sales in the city must be stopped to make sure a peaceful Spring Festival. Lotteries have caused a lot of criminal cases in the city. It was reported that a laid-off worker committed a robbery after using all his savings on lottery tickets and becoming penniless.In another case, a young man became mentally ill when his lottery tickets turned into waste paper.A comprehensive law is needed to fit the lottery industry. On the other hand, themedia must take more social duty to help people understand the reality of the lotteries. Instead of describing how a single lottery ticket changes a poor person into an overnight millonaire, advertisements should fit this goal clearly so that when people take out money they should realize that they are making a contribution to the poor.Lottery have entered into common Chinese people’s lives for years. They have brought about a lot of changes to society worthy of praise.We hope that in the future, lotteries can contribute even more to the development of our national economy which will light up everybody’s life.25.Why did the government of Fuzhou forbid lottery tickets on special holidays?A. Lotteries had many ill effects on children.B. People spent too much money on it.C. Lotteries caused a lot of serious deaths.D. People needa happy and peaceful holiday.26.What should the media help people to do according to the author?A. To understand the reality of the lotteries.B. To look into the situation of lotteries tickets.C. To find out how they make a lot of money.D. To believe that they will become millionaires.27.What can we know from the passage?A. There is no law fitting lotteries in China today.B. Lotteries meet with the development of modern society.C. Lotteries have many changes to society since they were born.D. It is the best way for the workers to live by buying lottery tickets.28.What is the purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To make us know the use of lottery tickets.B. To tell us totreat lottery tickets in a correct way.C. To introduce the advantages of lottery tickets to us.D. To tell us the importance of lottery tickets in our daily life.CIn your rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or dec ide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick themup within 5 seconds of dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds are all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria to make you sick.Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If we eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, we can become sick. One of these food-born bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Earlier this year, 370 people became sick after eating peanut butter that had been polluted with Salmonella at the manufacturing factory.Salmonella are often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods carefully.Being a good housekeeper is another good way to prevent infection. Even if household surfaces are washed thoroughly, they can support Salmonella for weeks. A team of scientists at Clemson University in South Carolina have tested the 5-second rule, using sandwich ingredients. First, they placed a known amount of Salmonella cells on three surfaces: wood, tile, and carpet. They then placed a slice of bread and a slice of bologna(大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast lands on the floor, throw it away. Stick a fresh slice of bread in the toaster. And this time, be careful not to drop it!29. Which of the following statements can best describethe original meaning of“5-second rule”?A. If the food is on the floor for less than 5 seconds, it’s f resh.B. If the food is on the floor for more than 5 seconds, it’s safe.C. It you finish eating the food on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s dangerous for you.D. If you pick up the food that you drop on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s safe to eat.30. What can cause many diseases according to the passage?A. BacteriaB. Bread.C. Bad habits.D. Raw eggs.31. Why did the scientists at Clemson University carryout the test?A. To find out whether the food is safe to eat.B. To find out how long the food can be kept.C. To find out whether the 5-second rule is true.D. To find out how long the bacteria can live.32. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Don’t eat the chicken on the floor because it’s dirty.B. Don’t eat food that you have dropped on t he floor.C. If you are eating the food, you never drop it on the floor.D. If you eat the food dropped on the floor in seconds, it’s OK.DOne family, which moved from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had built a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.The other family also marketed roses. For almost four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons took over the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the father of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. As they planned to leave the country, hisneighbor made it clear that, if necessary, he would look after his friend’s nurser y(花圃). It was something each family had learned in church-Love the neighbor as themselves. “You would do the same for us,”he told his Japanese friend.It was not long before the Japanese family was transported to a poor landscape in Canada. A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the Japanese neighbors were in Canada, their friends worked in the greenhouses. Sometimes the father’s work could stretch to 16 and 17 hours. And then one day, when the war in Europe had ended, the Japanese family packed up and boarded a train. They were going home.What would they find? The family was met at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family were shocked. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy. And the house was just as clean and welcoming as the nursery. And there on the dining room ground was one perfect red (玫瑰花蕾),just waiting to unfold-the gift of one neighbor to another.33. What does “the gift”in th e last paragraph refer to besides t rosebud?①a neat and clean house ②the prosperous nursery③the dependable neighbors ④the beautiful rose parkA. ①and ②B. ③and ④C. ①,②and ③D. ②, ③and ④34. What’s the topic of the passage?A. FriendshipB. HardworkC. HappinessD. Honesty35. Why did the neighborschoose “unfolding rosebud”to welcome the return of the Japanese?A. Becauseit’s a decorative issue.B. Because the roses are beautiful.C. Becausethey grew roses themselves.D. Beca use it’s a wishfor a good future.第二节（共五小题，每小题2分，共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，答案写在答题卡上Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. _______Zoey’s class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from time they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called” Trout in the classroom”.______ The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project, too.“I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up,” said seventh-grader LaurenClayton.

The most common ones are:●community schools, controlled by the local government and not influenced by business orreligious groups● foundation schools and voluntary schools, which have more freedom to change the way they dothings than community schools● academies(学校), independent from the local government -- they can follow a different course● grammar schools, run by the government - they select all or most of their pupils based 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 of special 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.

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.

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.After all,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 storiesabout 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 capable as 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；每一小题3分，总分为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优选项。

AMy wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live. Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say, “Never seen that dog around here before.”We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. It didn’t have any teeth left.Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and came back again when I was only halfway there. So we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food.Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket and more food, kept her warm and wondered what to do next.After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything.I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down.Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.In the so ng “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.1. Which of the following statements is true?A. The two dog walkers didn’t like the dog.B. After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owner.C. The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn’t walk.D. Mo st of the dog’s teeth had been pulled out by someone.2. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that .A. the dog didn’t go with the writerB. the writer had his own pet dogC. Julie bought some food for the dogD. the dog didn’t eat any of the food3. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. An Angel DogB. A Helpful CoupleC. Saving the DogD. A Famous SongBAs anyone who freelances(做自由职业)knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employe d individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.。

A5 Tips for Students Living Away From HomeDon’t Skip Orientation WeekBe involved! It is the most effective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home.

It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.Stay ConnectedI message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keep yourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely and wondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple of photo albums to look through. It is also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come to visit you. That way you have a piece of home to look forward to.Live in Residence Halls（寄宿）What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same thing, so take comfort in that. Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you’ll see that you’ll get through it eas ier than you thought. My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people. I’ve found residence halls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition（过渡时期）. People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.1.When you feel extremely lonely, you are advised to_______.A. go back home immediately.B. invite a friend to visit you.C. devote yourself to homework.D. Facebook your friends of family.2. Who might be most interested in reading the text?A. GraduatesB. Job-huntersC. ParentsD. FreshmenBJennifer Hebert, a 21-year-old student, wakes up and looks at the clock. It is 7:30 am. She realized she doesn’t work until nine so she figures: “ I will leave my hair down today.”Instead of hastily propping her hair up in a simple ponytail, she decides to take the extra time and straighten it. She finishes and looks at herself in the mirror. Instead of heading out, she take out her phone, turns the front to face her and snaps（拍照）a selfie（自拍）.This word is unmistakable. It has become so widely used, and it was it was actually named the word of the year by the Oxford Dictionary.But with this revolutionary photography technique comes side effects that can not be overlooked.Millennials, the generation that essentially acted as a guinea pig（小白鼠）for the evolution of technology and social media, are common described as narcissists(自我陶醉者). A search of the word “selfies” on Instagram brings up nearly seven million photos.With features constantly added to Instagram and other smartphone apps, not only do selfies masters have the art of photography, but they are also able to edit(编辑)the image with things like filters. “I mostly take selfies because I like to mess around with editing,” says Jennifer.Since photo apps have made it, in a way, “stupid simple” to fix a blemish （瑕疵）or change your skin tone, it is no surprise people still struggle with their self-image more than ever. “I’m not going to lie I edit most of my photos, which I am sure most people do. This just shows us that we are not seeing true beauty, because everyone is hiding behind some sort of filter, to make them look a lot different,” says Jennifer.A study from a university in Australia revealed the effects of the Internet on girls aged 12 and16. It found that 96 percent had access to the Internet and 72.1 percent of them uploaded pictures of themselves. It also found that 40.1 percent of them dissatisfied with their bodies. No one knows at what pace the selfie culture will increase, but from these numbers, it is clear that they can havea damaging effect.3. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is mainly to_______.A. introduce the topic of selfie cultureB. prove the popularity of social mediaC. tell how much girls care about their appearanceD. shoe how Jennifer tries to improve her self-image4. According to the second-to-last paragraph,_______.A. editing helps people see their true beautyB. people prefer to hide their identities on social mediaC. people have different ideas about true beautyD. most people are not confident of their appearance5. What is the author’s attitude toward selfie cultu re?A. ConcemedB. AnnoyedC. SupportiveD. Objective第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

山西省太原市第五中学2022-2021学年高二上学期期中考试(12月) 英语 Word版含答案

太原五中2022-2021学年度第一学期阶段性检测高二英语出题：李红勤李星玲校对：高二外语组（2022.12）I. 阅读理解(共30分)第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AOn a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week.The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can’t satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well.Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn’t allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution.One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it.When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyone’s perspective. We have to look at one another’s perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That’s the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem.1. Why was the dog taken to the author’s home?A. To find food to eat.B. To seek a proper owner.C. The author was friendly to him.D. The old man couldn’t feed him.2. What did the author find after he was gifted with the dog?A. He didn’t like the dog at all.B. He could deal with dog easily.C. The old neighbor was cheating him.D. It was unsuitable for him to keep the dog.3. What does the author intend to stress in the text?A. The value of team spirit.B. The smartness of the old neighbor.C. The importance of leadership skills.D. The need for calmness in front of challenges.BI was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？”Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.4. With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.A．they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in lifeB．they are for adult and that he is now an adultC．they help him forget the real worldD．they are similar to cartoons he used to watch5．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.D．The audience know they are simply foolish stories.6．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.A．something imagined to be realB．something too ideal to believeC．a happy ending all the audience desireD．a belief that is based on facts7．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies?A．People may be confused by them.B．Movies can usually improve real life.C．Film fans just follow the movie stories.D．False comfort may mislead the audience.CTulips(郁金香) are the national flower of Iran and Turkey. The European name for the flower is a misuse of the Persian word for turban(头巾), a mistake probably arising in the common Turkish custom of wearing flowers in the folds of the turban. Alternatively, the misuse may have arisen because this eastern flower, when not yet in full bloom,looks like a turban. In Persia, to give a red tulip was to declare your love for someone. The black center of the red tulip was said to represent the lover’s heart, burned to a coal by love’s passion.Originally growing in the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey), tulips were imported into Holland in the sixteenth century. When Carolus Clusius wrote the first major book on tulips in 1592, they became so popular that the tulips in his garden were stolen from time to time. As the Dutch Golden Age grew, so did this colorful flower. They were commonly seen in paintings and at festivals. In the mid-seventeenth century, tulips even created the first economics bubble（泡沫经济）, known as “Tulip Mania”. At that time, tulips were so expensive that they were used as money until the market for them crashed.Today, Holland is still known for its tulips and other flowers, often sincerely called “the flower shop of the world.” Tulips are planted in great fields of beautiful color, and transform the landscape into a sea of different colors. Tulip festivals are held throughout the country in spring. However, the most well-known tulip festival is organized in the Noordoostpolder, a province in the central Netherlands, each year. Held in the middle of the tulip fields, this flower festival runs from late April to early May. The Dutch people took their love of tulips abroad when they settled, and tulips and tulip festivals are now found in New York and Michigan, where the connection to their Dutch roots is still very strong.8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?A. The origin of tulips.B. The meaning of tulips.C. What tulips look like.D. How tulips were named.9. What can we learn from the text?A. Carolus Clusius’ book made people import tulips into Holland.B. Holland is called “the flower shop of the world” because of the tulip.C. The tulip festival in the Noordoostpolder is sometimes held indoors.D. Holland is not the birthplace of tulips.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The Dutch people’s love of tulips.B. Tulip festivals in Holland and abroad.C. Noordoostpolder, the tulip shop of the world.D. Tulips and the landscape of Holland.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

太原市2016—2017 学年第一学期高二年级期末考试英语试卷

太原市 2016—2017 学年第一学期高二年级期末考试英语试卷第二部分阅读理解APlanning a holiday to New Zealand? Read our practical travel advice before you depart. Let's start with some basics.WeatherFrom the crisp days of spring to the burnt orange beauty of autumn, New Zealand is a traveler's paradise. New Zealand's climate is mild, and ranges from subtropical in the north to temperate in the south. No matter what the season is, the majority of our main attractions are open year-round.Money and CostsNew Zealand's unit of currency(货币) is the dollar ( NZ $ ) . All major credit cards can be used in New Zealand, with Visa and MasterCard accepted most widely. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks or hotels, which are found at international airports and most city centers.Public TransportBuses are the main form of public transport in New Zealand, with some areas also offering trains, ferries and trams. Buses are the cheapest and most common form of public transport available for travelling between towns and cities. Intercity and Naked Bus are the two main providers of this service, and fares start from around NZ $ 10.Phones and the InternetChances are that you're arriving in New Zealand with a mobile phone, tablet or laptop or a mixture of all three. If you' re looking to stay connected to the Internet and phone services everywhere you go, it’s recommended that you purchase a plan from one of New Zealand's main networks. Free WiFi hotspots are generally found in main cities only. Purchasing a plan from a network will allow you to have access to a mix of data, calling and texting throughout your trip.16. Which is the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most attractions only open in spring or autumn. :B. Foreign currency can be exchanged at some hotels.C. Bus fare in New Zealand is no more than NZ $ 10.D. Tourists need to buy new mobile phones on arriving.17. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Traveling AbroadB. Living in New ZealandC. New Zealand Public ServicesD. New Zealand Travel GuideBWelcome to Words and Their Stories. Today, we are going to talk about "autumn". Autumn is also called "fall". This is probably because it is the time when trees lose their leaves and they fall to the ground.However, even earlier, the season was called "harvest". In the early days of the United States, autumn was a time for preparing for the winter months by collecting and preserving food. People gathered corn, nuts and berries. They also dried and salted meats to feed themselves through thelong, cold winter.To prepare for the winter months, some animals gather food. The squirrel(松鼠) , is well known for its skill in this activity. Squirrels gather and store seeds and nuts in their nests. This activity helps them survive the winter, and it also gives us a common expression.To "squirrel something away" means to save it for future use. We often use this expression when talking about money and food. For example, a child might squirrel away his chocolate, hiding it from brothers and sisters. This guarantees the child can satisfy his sweet tooth at any time.Unlike squirrels, who are active and busy during the autumn, many people slow down during this time. The expression "autumn years" refers to the later years of a person' s life, especially after a person has stopped working. For example, "She worked hard all her life. She saved her money and invested it wisely. So, she was able to enjoy her autumn years in comfort. She was finally able to travel around the world."As summer ends, so does today's Words and Their Stories. And like summer, we will return, not in a year, but rather next week!18. What was the earliest name of the season after summer?A. Autumn.B. Fall. C Harvest D. Summer.19. What does the underlined word "preserving" probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Preventing food from going bad.B. Hiding food in a big pool.C. Selling food to other people.D. Serving food with large dishes.20. Why is the child who hides his chocolate mentioned in the passage?A. To prove that kids love some chocolate.B. To explain the phrase "squirrel away".C. To teach children about the importance of sharing.D. To show similarities between children and squirrels.CBeauty comes in many shades (色度). But some women find their shades not receiving enough attention in the cosmetics (妆品) industry.Balanda Atis wants to end that. She is a chemist in Research and Innovation at the cosmetics company—L'Oreal, USA. She wants to create makeup that works for all women. As an African-American, she knows from her own experience how difficult it is for women of color to find makeup right for their skin.So, Balanda Atis and other L'Oreal chemists began to explore. "We had the opportunity to travel across the U. S as well as internationally, such as South Africa, to make sure that the shades that we were creating were suitable for a large range of skin colors. ""What we found is that you can use a really special colorant (着色剂), called ultramarine blue. And ultramarine blue is a truly clean, vivid, bright, rich color that allows you to go deeper, but as you go deeper, you're still able to have a very natural color to the skin "Atis says many African-American families expect their children to become doctors or nurses. But she knew from a very early age she didn't want a career in medicine. The chemist says she always had a passion for science. She is happy that she married her love of science to cosmetics. She shares her joy with teenagers by giving talks at schools about the importance of science. For Atis, being able to relate science and beauty together is just fun.21. What is Balanda Atis?A. A doctor.B. A chemist.C. A traveler.D. An artist.22. What makes Balanda Atis want to create makeup that works for all women?A. Her passion for science.B. Other L'Oreal chemists.C. The difficulty for colored women to find suitable makeupD. The opportunity to travel across the US and internationally.23. What is special about the color "ultramarine blue"?A. It stays natural as it goes deeper.B. It is brighter than any other color.C. It is first created by Atis herself.D. It is very close to human skin color.24. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. She feels happy because she’s married to the man she loves.B. She feels happy because her husband also works on cosmeticsC. She is happy to work as a chemist and hasn't got marriedD. She is happy to devote her love for science to cosmetics25. What can we infer from the passage?A. There is no makeup for colored women in the market.B. Atis herself had difficulty finding the right makeup.C. Light-skinned women cannot use ultramarine blue at all.D. Atis once worked as a doctor but she didn't like the job.笫二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项Ever wish you could head into the kitchen and make a delicious dinner?

It is the largest body of fresh water in Britain. The water in Loch Ness is more than the total amount of water in all the lakes in England, Scotland and Wales.It is said that the residents around the Loch used to tell their children stories of the kelpie to keep them away from the dark dangerous waters of the Loch. One of the stories is about a horrible beast. When hungry, it would leave its home and change itself into a beautiful horse waiting for some unlucky travelers to climb on its back. Then it would jump straight into the Loch and feed on its victims.Most people think that the Loch Ness monster first appeared in the 1930's and it is since that time that the Loch has become famous.。

AA great deal of attention should be paid to the choosing of a vacation destination. Here are four of the must-see attractions in Alberta, Canada.The Banff GondolaThe entire Banff area is a destination filled with wonderful things to do, but one of the best things to do is ride the Banff Gondola (吊船). This gondola takes visitors high above the beautiful scenery of the area, giving them wonderful views and photographic opportunities. The ride is also thrilling with a steady altitude change as the vehicle gets higher and higher.The Calgary StampedeThe Calgary Stampede is one of the best events in Alberta. It has been taking place for a very long time. The entire event is worth the effort in going, everything from the opening parades and celebrations to the later events and competitions.Johnston Canyon (峡谷)For those wanting to experience some of the beautiful natural surroundings that are offered in Alberta, a visit to Johnston Canyon is a must. In this canyon, there are a number of impressive waterfalls available. They are very easy to approach.Miette hot springsThe number one attraction there at the Miette Hot Springs is the hot springs themselves. The pools are filled with water straight from the springs and are very clean. There is plenty of room to swim and play. There are also quiet spots to relax and enjoy some quiet time. For those without a strict schedule, staying at the hot springs for a night or two is a great choice.1. What can visitors do when they ride the Banff gondola?A. Go on opening parades.B. Enjoy scenery from above.C. Drive the dangerous vehicle.D. Reach tops of mountains.2. What do the Miette Hot Springs probably provide?A. Accommodation.B. Medical care.C. Photographing.D.Free transportation.3. Which attraction features mainly activities instead of scenery?A. Johnston Canyon.B. The Banff Gondola.C. Miette Hot Springs.D. The CalgaryStampede.BIt’s been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant (移植), and now, what he really wants to do is play football. “I feel happyabout my new hands, and I don’t feel different. I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didn’t have hands,” he said.The nation’s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zion’s operation, said Zion coped with the operation better than many adults. “I’ve never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “He’s just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “It’s been a long journey but now I feel I am living in my dream. It’s his dream, and it’s mine, too. I’ m just living through him, and I’m just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.”However, Zion told reporters his mom wouldn’t let him try out for football. His mom said it’s too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.4. What is Zion’ attitude towards his transplanted hands?A. He likes them a lot.B. He tries to ignore them.C. He accepts them unwillingly.D. He has mixed feelings about them.5. What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion?A. He was unusually quiet.B. He was well worth praising.C. He was cleverer than expected.D. He was a talented football player.6. Which description about Pattie Ray is true?A. She always supports Zion’s decisions.B. She devotes a lot to his son.C. She is the most important person to Zion.D. She seems to be a sensitive mother.7. What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean?A. Accept.B. Prove.C. Fight.D. Comment.C“A n apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a popular saying in the United States. It may be a common saying, but it is not scientifically confirmed. However, a new study adds to evidence that suggests taking a small amount of aspirin can help keep the doctor away.Peter Elwood is with Cardiff University’s School of Medicine in Britain. Forty years ago, he was involved in the first study to explore the effects of aspirin on the prevention of heart disease. Elwood’s team examined 47 studies for evidence that aspirin helped cancer patients. They found there’s fairly consistent evidence of a 15 to 20 percent reduction in death and a reduction in cancer’s spread, by low dose(剂量) aspirin. By low dose, he means 81 milligrams. The study followed cancer patients for five years. Elwood says the evidence is strong that aspirin delays death among cancer patients.Elwood’s team are excited to have this evidence from the study. Elwood adds that it is not a cure but a small sign of better things to come, what he calls a little hope and encouragement. “If you asked me personally what I would do if doctors told me I had cancer, I would say I would have no hesitation in taking it. But I do not recommend it to people.I want them to have the evidence and make their own decisions.”The only major risk is that aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. But Elwood says it usually does not cause death. He adds that the evidence points to big health benefits of taking a daily aspirin. So, for some people, the pros might overweigh the cons.8. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. Patients should eat apples.B. Apples are popular with Americans.C. Aspirin can be good for health.D. Doctors should use aspirin instead of apples.9. What does Elwood suggest people do?A. The less aspirin, the better.B. Don’t delay in taking aspirin.C. Taking aspirin is a better way to cure cancer.D. Make decisions in the best interest of their own.10. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Aspirin is the best cure for cancer.B. Taking aspirin won’t kill in the long run.C. Taking aspirin does more good than harm.D. The side effect of taking aspirin is strong.Ⅱ.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共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。
