He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (纸板盒) . Then he related an incident and I began to remembervaguely(模糊地 ) the incident he was describing.GXRw1kFW5sI was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weeklygrocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where theincident took place. UTREx49Xj9There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放 ) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went towork. 8PQN3NDYyPThe manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, Iwas on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it lookedas though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested myinnocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident,mLPVzx7ZNwapparently the manager did not.56. How old was the author when he wrote this article? AHP35hB02dA. About 8B. About 18.C. About 23.D. About 15 NDOcB141gT57.Which of the following statements is NOT true?1zOk7Ly2vAA.

Our children speak Hebrew, Arabic. I can speak abit of Hebrew and a little Arabic. The gap between us, therefore, is not a matter of age, sports heroes, ormusical tastes. It is simply my lack of ability to master languages that they picked up in no time. To our kids,3YIxKpScDMI will forever be the foreigner, the greenhorn.I remember one of my most amusing mistakes that I made one bright and early school-day morning. Aschool friend had slept over, and everyone was eating breakfast, I cheerfully asked the boy what I could givegUHFg9mdSshim for his lunch.“ What about some fruit? ” I asked. uQHOMTQe79 ”“ How about some rocks with your lunch?“ Mommy!” The kids all shouted in horror. “ Mommmmmmy!IMGWiDkflPI had wanted to say “ anavim ” , which are grapes(葡萄) in Hebrew. Instead I said “ avanim-----plain,”ordinary rocks. WHF4OmOgAwTo this day, my children remind me again and again of the countless mistakes I made. At a schoolmeeting, I told the father of one of their friends that I ’ d sat on top of his wife the day before, when I m say that I ’ d sat next to her. Languages always provide opportunities for foreign speakers to please natives.aDFdk6hhPdI find my language mistakes entertaining at times, and they ’ ve never stopped me from trying to mak conversation. On a family outing the other day, we stopped to buy fresh pita from an Arab woman. I spoke tothe woman in a mixture of Arabic and Hebrew and then we stood with her, eating the warm freshly bakedozElQQLi4Tpita. After we finished, I called out, -“thankShookranyou,”” in Arabic---and we drove away.“ That was fun. ” said my-year16-old son, Ari.“ And she gave me extra pita for free! -year”-myold14daughter, Amalia, said. “ Why do you think shedid that? CvDtmAfjiA”said. ” I“ Because we were friendly and made an effort to talk to her,QrDCRkJkxhFor once, my kids did not even point out any of the errors I had made as I spoke to the woman.4nCKn3dlMX59. The kids shouted when their mother used the word “ avanim ” because ______.ijCSTNGm0EA. they always regarded their mother as a foreigner vfB1pxanfkB. she misused the word for a kind of fruit as the one for rocksJbA9VhEou1C. their mother only gave grapes to one childD. one of the kids got up late60. Why didn ’ t the kids point out their mother ’ s mistakesshespokewhilewith an Arab woman? X7Ahr18pJIb3zqXLCqXoA. Their mother ’ s conversation with the Arab woman brought a good result.B. They used to their mother ’ s language errors.C. They were moved by the Arab woman.D. They were pleased with the delicious meal.61.What would be the best title of this passage?A.How to Learn Foreign LanguagesB.How to Live AbroadC.Sometimes It ’s just WordsD.My Boring ChildrenCMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explainthat there ’ s a big difference between “ being a writer ” and “ writing ” . In most cases these indivi dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “ You ’ ve got to want to write, them, “ not want to be a writer pZyytu5rc5. ”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortunethere are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US CoastGuard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my roomin a New York apartment building. It didn ’ event matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.DVyGZezsrMAfter a year or so, however, I still hadn ’ t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to s a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. Iwasn’ t going tobe one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to thetest--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.RQxPvY3tFs62.The passage is meant to _______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience5MxX1IxuU9B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer jIw5xs0v9P63.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***北京市西城区2014 — 2015学年度第二学期期末试卷高二英语口试文章1A TEACHER in New York decided to do a class project on recognition. She gave each student three blue ribbons with gold letters reading: “Who I Am Makes a Difference.” The students went out to find somebody to honor. The person would get a ribbon and give the extra ones to a third person to keep it going.One boy went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss. He told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative talent. He gave the surprised boss the last extra ribbon and asked him to find somebody else to honor.That night the boss went home to his 14-year-old son. He told the boy what had happened and said: “I want to honor you, son. My days are really busy and when I come home I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I shout at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just want to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”Hearing this, the boy started to cry and couldn’t stop. He looked up at his father and said through his tears: “I was planning on leaving home tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”Questions:1.What did the teacher give to each student in the class project?2.What kind of people did the student go to find?3.Why did the boy honor the junior manager?4.How did the junior manger think of his boss?5.Why did the son of the boss cry?Possible answers:1.The teacher gave each students three blue ribbons in the project.2.They need to find someone to honor.3.Because the manager helped the boy with the career planning.4.In the manager’s eye, the boss was a creative talent.5.The son of the boss cried because he thought his father didn’t love him. Now he knew that hisfather loved him very much, so he was moved to tears.2A TEACHER began his class by holding up a glass of water. He asked the students: “How much do you think this glass weighs?”“Fifty grams (克)!” “One hundred grams!” “One hundred and fifty grams!” the students answered.“I don’t know either,” said the teacher. “What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”“Nothing,” the students said.“OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?”“Your arm would ache (疼痛),” said a student.“You’re right. Now what would happen if I held it for a day?”“Your arm would go numb (麻木的). You may have to go to hospital!” said another student, and all the students laughed.“Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” asked the teacher.“No.”“Then what caused the pain and numbness?”The students were puzzled (困惑的).“What should I do now to get rid of the pain?” asked the teacher again.“Put the glass down!” said a student.“Exactly!” said the teacher. “Life’s problems are something like this. Hold them for a few minutes in your head and they seem OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to make you numb. You will not be able to do anything.”It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life. But what’s even more important is to “put them down” at the end of every day.Questions:1.What did the teacher hold in his class?2.What would happen if the teacher held it for a long time?3.How to get the pain and numbness?4.What did something that you held stand for?5.What can you learn from the teacher’s lesson?Possible answers:1.He held a glass of water.2.He would feel pain and numbness.3.Put down the glass of water.4.They stood for the problems in your life.5.It is important to think of problems an d challenges in life, and it is more important to put “putthem down” at the end of each day.。

Children are their final target2/ 15BA minute after 5 P. m. on a Friday evening, Officer Bobby White of the Gainesville, Florida, police department got a call about a noise complaint--------some teens playing basketball.His dash-cam(执法记录仪)video shows him pulling up outside a shabby home. A teen stops playing and walks toward him“Hey,cops(警察)are here.What’s up?” the boy was aggressive. To put him at ease, White said, “Can you believe someone’s calling about kids playing basketball? "Then he put his hand out for the ball. With hesitation, the teen gave it to him. White made a shot off the hoop(篮圈).As a playground courtesy(礼貌) the teen threw it back to White, who nailed his next shot. It was like a signal -------kids began streaming out to join in the shooting game. The video shows White and the kids laughing and shooting for 13 minutes. As he left, he told them to have fun and watch the noise. That was that, he thought -------an officer doing his job.But that wasn't the end. The police department 's information officer always looking for the positive things his officers do, put the video online. Within a week, it was viewed over five million times. Suddenly, businesses and individuals touched by the officer’s sympathy started sending sporting equipment to the police department.“1 know what they mean,” White says.“ But there’re many cops who go above and beyond.” To prove his point, White created the Basketball Cop Foundation. Since 2016, the foundation has supplied sports equipment to more than 50 police departments around the country so that other officers have what they need to go out on the streets and re-create White 's experience.25.

Honesty but determinedD. Sympathetic and modestCApril showers bring May flowers, as the saying goes. And with those flowers comes May Day, a holiday that most people have heard of but have no idea what it’s forMay Day, celebrated on May 1 every year, has its roots in ancient pagan(异教徒的)festivals marking a new start of a new season——summer. Over the centuries, it developed and took on a more non-religious nature In Europe, including the addition of maypole dances that the holiday is now associated with. But May Day isn’t all about skipping around with ribbons in the sunshine. It has also been on the same day as International Workers' Day since the 1880s. In fact, May Day refers to America's Labor Day for certain countries.On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of U. S. industrial workers participated in a nationwide strike to demand an 8-hour workday. The protests in Chicago lasted for several days, and on May 3, a strike at McCormick Reaper Works ended in a brawl with police officers. Several strikers were wounded or killed. The next night, the violence became even worse. When police came to break up a crowd of protestors gathered in Hay-market Square, a bomb went off in the police ranks. The bomb killed seven policemen and wounded 60 more. Police then opened fire on the crowd, killing several men and wounding 200.In memory of these events, the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 as an international holiday for labor. That’s why the world sees not only celebrations of warmer weather on the first day of May, but oftentimes marches for labor unions as well29. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why people celebrate May Day.B. How May Day came into existenceC. Activities held to celebrate May Day4/ 15D. Ways to honor May Day worldwide30. From Paragraph 2, May Day was initially celebrated to___________A. honor the end of April showersB. mark the beginning of summerC. explore its religious aspects in EuropeD. show the long history of maypole dances31. What does the underlined word "brawl "in Paragraph 3 mean?A. ProtestB. QuarrelC. ContradictionD. Fight32. It can be known from the text that _________A. all festivals were closely related to religionB. celebrations on May Day caused many deathsC. 19th-century workers had a longer workday than eight hoursD. International Workers' Day has no connection with Americas Labor DayDWhenever we see a button on a doorbell or on a remote, we may press it. This is true in most cases. But some buttons are actually fake(假的),like the“ close"button on an elevator.Many people are in the habit of pressing the "close" button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut. But according to experts, the buttons are a complete trick- the doors will not close any faster however hard you pressIt started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only firefighters and maintenance workers(维修工) can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal elevator riders, the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. Experts have showed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives5/ 15for this same purpose. For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little "white lies". They still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effortThat habit is here to stay, John Kounios, a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US, told The New York Times. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while wait ing. So why not try the chance?”33. The author writes the text to______________A. analyze what roles fake buttons playB. inform readers of kinds of fake buttonS explore different ways to push buttonsD. explain why fake buttons were introduced34. The underlined “for this same purpose " in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_____________.A. making people more patentB. improving people 's bad moodC. offering people a sense of controlD. helping people build up confidence35. What can we know from Joh n Kounios’ words?ping people build up confidenceA.Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at allB. People don't know that what they press is fakeC. Some people press fake buttons Just to kill timeD. People are supposed to quit Pressing fake buttons第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)6/ 15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。

高二英语期末选修八练习题
高二英语期末选修八练习题一、阅读理解阅读下列短文,然后按照短文后的要求答题。
ASalt is such a common household item that we often overlook its importance. But if it were suddenly to disappear, we would quickly notice salt's unique characteristics.Pure salt is a crystalline compound (化合物),one of the basic types of inorganic compounds. A compound is a substance in which two or more elements are chemically combined in specific proportions. Salt, for example, is made up of sodium and chlorine. Seawater contains the highest percentage of salt: almost 4 percent. Once water evaporates (蒸发) from seawater, the remaining residue contains salt.Salt serves several important purposes. It is used as a preservative (防腐剂) for meat, fish, and other foods. Bacteria are unable to grow well in salty environments, so salt helps to prevent spoilage. Salt also adds flavor to food, which is why it is such a common ingredient in recipes and at the dining table. Finally, salt helps to melt ice and snow on roads and sidewalks.Salt plays a vital role in our health as well. The human body contains about 250 grams of salt at all times, mostly in the fluids that surround the cells of our bodies -- in the blood, in the lymphatic system (淋巴系统),and between tissues (组织). Salt plays a major part in maintaining the delicatebalance of water in our bodies. Water makes up as much as 95 percent of blood, and it needs salt and other chemicals to remain at the proper levels.1. According to the passage, how does seawater become salt?A. A special chemical reaction.B. By adding chlorine.C. By removing the chlorine and sodium.D. Through the process of evaporation.2. What can be inferred from the passage about salt?A. It cannot be found in any other substance.B. It is less important than water.C. It is often overlooked by people.D. It plays no role in our health.3. What is NOT mentioned in the passage about salt's use?A. Preventing meat spoilage.B. Adding flavor to food.C. Melting ice and snow.D. Enhancing our immune system.二、写作任务假设你是李华,你的朋友Tony来信告诉你他将在你们学校附近参加一个夏令营。

满分:120分Ⅰ卷(两部分,共70分)第一部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ANorm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.Mrs Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Mrs Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital, Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Mr s Pethrick was saved by her husband’s“quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.1. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.A. a travel guideB. a newspaperC. a textbookD. a novel2. The crocodile attacked Mrs Pethrick when she was ______.A. swimming in the riverB. standing on the river bankC. watching the crocodileD. fishing in the water3. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mrs Pethrick?A. Her eyes were badly poked.B. She had eight wounds altogether.C. One of her fingers also got hurt.D. One of the cro codile’s teeth was found in her leg.4. According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as the following EXCEPT ______.A. braveB. diligentC. quickD. humorousBMany of us are fascinated by time travel. Who wouldn’t be enthralled by returning to the past or seeing the future? But time travel seems to be possible only in our imagination –or in most cases, in science fiction.Science fiction is a world where impossible things can become possible. But science fiction is not entirely fiction since it is based on science theories and principles. I have compiled some of the popular ways by which time travel is made possible in fiction books :·Through the wormhole( 虫孔)——It is a shortcut between points in space-time. Accordingto Einstein, an object can pass through this if it can travel at the speed of light with infinite mass. An example of a wormhole is described in RiddLe of the Red Bible.·Through a black hole —— A black hole is a vacuum in space where light cannot even escape or pass through. In some sci-fi movies, like Star Trek, black holes become the means to travel through time.·Through time machines ——In fiction, time machines are complex vehicles that cantravel faster than light. A time machine can be a strange vehicle like TARDIS in Doctor Who or a specially modified car like the one used in Back to the Future.·Through a parallel ( 平行的) universe ——Another popular way to travel through time isto be able to slip or slide into a parallel universe where one can go back to a point in time and see a different reality.Though we know time travel may not be possible, it is still an entertaining subject and a heated topic for most of us.5. The underlined word “ enthralled” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “.”A. thrilledB. confusedC. shockedD. upset6. The means of travelling through a black hole is described in .A. Doctor WhoB. Back to the FutureC. Star TrekD. Riddle of the Red Bible7. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. Time travel will never become possible even in the far future.B. Time travel through a time machine will be the most common means.C. Sci-fi writers have some similar experience as they describe in their fiction.D. Many ways of time travel are described in science fiction besides the mentioned fours.CSome people asked me how I could suggest the expenses of billions of dollars for a voyage to Mars, at a time when many children on this Earth are starving to death. I know that they do not expect an answer such as “ Oh, I did not know that there are children dying from hunger, but from now on I will stop any kind of space research until mankind has solved that proble m! ” In fact, I have known of this long before.But I firmly believe that by working for the space program we can make some contributions to the relief and eventual solution of such serious problems as poverty and hunger on the Earth. Two basic factors causing the poverty and hunger problems are the production of food and the distribution(分布) of food. In fact, large areas of land could be used far better if efficient methods of farming, fertilizer use, weather forecasting, field selection, planting, crop surveys, harvest planning and so on were applied. The best tool for the improvement of all these methods undoubtedly, is the artificial Earth satellite. Circling the globe at a high altitude, it can screen wide areas of land within a short time; it can observe and measure a large variety of factors indicating the status and condition of crops, soil, droughts, rainfall, snow cover, etc.Besides, in the modern society, there is a continuing great need for new basic knowledge in the science if we wish to improve the conditions of human life on the Earth. We need more knowledge in physics and chemistry, in biology and physiology, and particularly in medicine to cope with all these problems which threaten man’s life: hunger, disease, overpopulation, pollution of water and the environment. In a way, the space age not only holds out a mirror in which we can see ourselves, it also provides us with the technologies.8. The passage is mainly discussing about .A. whether the children’s dying from hunger is th e major problemB. whether there is an effective way to avoid the global starvationC. whether the author’s suggestion has been taken into ser ious considerationD. whether it is worth spending much money on the space research9. According to the author, what plays an important part in dealing with poverty and hunger?A. Food supply.B. Methods of farming.C. Government support.D. Modern technology.10. The second paragraph is mainly developed by .A. making comparisonB. giving explanationC. giving examplesD. offering advice11. From the last paragraph, we can infer that .A. more basic knowledge is required to be learnedB. technologies can help to improve our living qualityC. we can live a more peaceful and happier lifeD. there are different views on the space ageDMy grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. My grandpa used to applaud when I was preparing for it. I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request——call me to play Amazing Grace. And I usually did so.About the time when I entered high school, grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was in 1985. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets, and I had never thought of my grandpa as small in any sense.The next morning I found my moment alone with him. I prepared my voilin, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him Amazing Grace. I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered if I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had done something important.I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I kn ew that with music I was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could. Food didn’t tastegood, doctors couldn’t help, and his body betrayed (辜负)him and left him helpless. But for a few minutes listening to me with my violin, he seemed to find beauty and love and escape.12. Every time the author’s grandfather came to visit her, he would .A. ask her to play the same piece of musicB. pretend to think highly of her performanceC. applaud for her throughout her performanceD. remind the author of his kindness and humour13. Why did the author spend weeks in practicing playing Amazing Grace?A. She believed it can save her grandfather’s life.B. She wanted her grandfather to be her biggest fan.C. She wanted to express her sorrow by playing that song.D. She wanted to comfort both herself and her dying grandfather.14. The author seems to believe that .A. being a doctor could earn her more fame and wealthB. music could make a difference even to a dying old personC. music could have a better effect on patients’ life than loveD. our life couldn’t be beautiful without each other’s care and love15. What is the best title of this passage?A. Grandfather’s LoveB. Goodbye, My Favorite MusicC. Amazing GraceD. Human’s Better Nature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。
