高中英语真题：2016-2017学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect（反映）life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serioustype of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dyla n’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink（下沉）like a stone. For the times they are a-changin!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.21. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music22. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.23. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers24. What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.2.Books have tremendous power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books.For several years now, Maria Keller, a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute(分发) books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal.Today, at age 14, she has collected over 1.8 million books and hasshipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse(仓库) where they store and sort books. Maria believes that she can get support from even more people and help kids around the world to become better readers!25. We can know from Paragraph 2 that .A. Some of Maria’s classmates had no textbooks.B. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t have money to buy books.C. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t like reading at all.D. Some of Maria’s classmates couldn’t afford to go to school.26. According to the passage, which statement about Read Indeed is true?A. It collects and gives out books to poor children.B. It is an organization which sells books to children around the world.C. It raises money to buy books for children.D. It is a campaign which encourages children to read.27. What can we infer from what Maria says in Paragraph 4?A. She lives on selling books.B. Her original dream has been achieved.C. She will give up her mission of distributing books.D. The number of children who have no books has greatly dropped.28. Which word can best describe Maria?A. Optimistic.B. Smart.C. Brave.D. Strong-willed.3.When we know somewhere well，w e say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of o ur bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight .or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain h as maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of t he skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lotsof nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.29. Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C .People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands.31. We can learn from the article that_____________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body work.D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position32. We can infer from the article that .A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect4.It’s an ordinary morning，like all the others．But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm cl ock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee，light entering your room as the curtains open automatically，and a gentle back massage（按摩）provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now，according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s tempera ture, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事)that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的)world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud，a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.33. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers．C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.34. According to the text, in two decades, .A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation35. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of.二、未分类(共2题)1.Have you ever heard of an insect called the cicada(蝉)? 36 But theyhave an interesting internal clock that tells them when to go aboveground.Every 17 years, billions of the noisy Brood V cicadas(十七年蝉) will swarm(成群出现)to northeastern parts of the US, including New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. 37 But there are usually a lot less of them compared to the Brood V cicadas.38 According to Discovery News, these insects started their lives in 1999. And as their 17-year life cycle comes to an end, they go aboveground when their underground homes get warmer 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18℃) to be exact.Then the females will lay hundreds of eggs in trees, and after about four to six weeks, the mother and father cicadas will die. 39While they can be kind of annoying, these insects don’t harm humans, but they do make a lot of noise during their time aboveground. 40 However, since there are so many of the 17-year cicadas, the amount of laid eggs can sometimes harm small trees and bushes. But after this summer, these insects will mostly mind their own business until 2033.A. That sound is the male cicadas attracting the female cicadas.B. The cicada insects are common in summer, especially in August and can be found in July as well.C. There are other kinds of cicadas that come around once a year or every 13 years.D. The baby cicadas will go underground, and the 17-year cycle will start over again.E. As a matter of fact, people like to eat them in some cultures.F. Well, a special kind of these insects live underground in the US for most of their lives.G. This is what makes Brood V cicadas so special.2.Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 61 (help) if you say the words aloud. But th is often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have comeup 62 a new idea. They suggest 63 (draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!The researchers did a study 64 (base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 65 the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.When the time 66 (be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that , they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 67 they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 68 (good) job than those who wrote them.So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 69 (draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 70 (research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.三、完型填空(共1题)1.My husband, Rashid, arrived in New York on his own from India. He stayed in a 41 for a short time while 42 for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his 43 , he went out one day to do some shopping.

AThe Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of theQueen’s Christmas broadcasts has found. Researchers have studied each of her messages tothe country since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation.Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether ac cent changes would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there i s nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble(贵族的) way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had changed little by little. “Her accent sounds l ess noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very smalland slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year. ”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told t he Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men inthe bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’. ”The results were published in the Journal of Phonetics(语音学).1. Why did Jonathan Harrington choose the Queen’s broadcast for the study?A. She has been Queen for many years.B. She has a less upper-class accent now.C. Her speeches are familiar to many people.D. Her speeches have been recorded for 50 years.2. The Queen began to pronounce “lost” about _______ ago.A. 20 yearsB. 40 yearsC. 60 yearsD. 80 years3. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?A.bleckB. hetC. homeD. thet4. The passage is probably taken from a magazine on _______.A. speech soundsB. Christmas customsC. TV playsD. world changesBIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”Profes sor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath. He says his program uses historicaldata to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.“What’s unique(独特的) is that we use a lot of data and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system has many functions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the whole road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes ClearPath will be used all over the world once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already havenavigation systems, such as Google and Apple.5. Drivers in Los Angeles are mentioned in order to__________.A. raise the topicB. be praisedC. answer some questionsD. be taken care of6. What is unique about ClearPath?A. It can use a lot of information all over the world.B. It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.7. The underlined part “hits the road” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.A. have an accidentB. start on a journeyC. turn left or rightD. collect road data8. What’s Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Disappointed.B. Serious.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.CSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you areon the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should know that your sport ofchoice might have great influence on the environment.Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons ofwater. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep itscourses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry countries like Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environmental-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that youcould take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;an d you don’t have to worry about resources(资源) and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart andbones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmental-friendlyequipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be“green gyms”. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or otheropen spaces. There is no special requirement f or you to start your membership. And bestof all, it’s free.9. W hich of the following is an environmental-friendly sport?A. Golf.B. Motor racing.C. Power walking.D. Indoor swimming.10. From the passage we can infer that __________.A. you can protect the environment by buying used productsB. the way you do sports can make a big differ ence to the environmentC. 20 minutes of power walking will do good to your heart and bonesD. “Gree n gy ms” will replace traditional health clubs and modern sports centers11. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show us the function of major sports.B. To encourage us to go in for green sports.C. To discuss the major influence of popular sports.D. To introduce the types of environmental-friendly sports.DCONCORD, N.H.—A flood of rain forced hundreds of people to leave their homes in parts of New England on Sunday, as water flowed over dams and washed out roads.The governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts said, “It’s a very serious situation，” adding that forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of rain by the endof the storm in parts of so uthern New Hampshire. “It continues to change and is getting worse.”In some towns, police and firefighters used boats to get people out of their homes and cars after hundreds of roads were damaged. Some towns shut down, not letting anyone passexcept emergency vehicles.A dam in Milton, N.H., was in danger of failing, which could send a 10-foot wall ofwater downstream. People downstream were being evacuated (转移) from the town.In Massachusetts, cars were pulled from flooded streets in downtown Peabody, and about 300 people were evacuated from an apartment complex for seniors. Businesses put sandbagsat their doors, trying to prevent damage from water.Flooding in New Hampshire in October killed seven people, carried off homes and washedaway miles of roads down to bedrock.In Maine, flooding was reported on 60 roads in the southern part of the state, saidgovernor’s spokeswoman Crystal Canney.

2016-2017学年度上学期高二年级期末考试英语考试时间：90分钟第I卷〔选择题〕一、阅读理解The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept, 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots〔选票〕.To help get his name known, Sessions earned＄700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do yo u have?' And I say ‘I'm still in high school', " he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, 〞 he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.“He did a very brave thing that couldn't h ave been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit.
