2019-2020年高二下学期第三次周练英语试题 含答案
英语第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）2019-2020年高二下学期第三次周练英语试题含答案It all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws(投球) one after another without a break before I could go home.I was ten years old at that time. So I shot(投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, saying that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — giving the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates gave me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to the free throw line and made two free throws successfully.I ended up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author’s father was very strict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102. How many times was the author fouled?A. Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.3. What can we learn from the text?A. The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes.B. The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the author had the talent.D. Royal High School team was stronger than the author’s t eam.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus pany office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding(上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Bryan said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembe ring to do all the right things.I made sure she was as fortable as possible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he said, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really go od to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”4. Before helping the old lady, Brian ..A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into practice5. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C. How Brian gave first aid on the old lady.D. How the old lady reacted to Brian’s performance.7. After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese pany has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women, the pany prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our pany is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a r eview of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable(能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.8. The pany gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the pany offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption9. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants10. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear in JapanC. the pany is not alone in saving energyD. other panies have copied the “hairstyle order”11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is wele in JapanB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. Japan is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off(睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, nodding off after learning something new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously(有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep pared to a day of wakefulness (不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this study is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative memory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”12. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps remember it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types14. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ memoriesC. a full day of wak efulness can make students’ memories improved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.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。

So when her mom called to ask if she’d like to go shopp ing at the local fabric(布料) store for the coming Christmas, she couldn’t say no because she knew she badly needed some fabri cs to make new clothes for her children. “I remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.Well, Terry’s mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It’s your Christmas gift from me.” Terry’s eyes were filed with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terry’s mom’s kindness had inspi red some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn’t take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.“I was going to make my first quilt,” she explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”On Christmas Day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift.24. What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago?A. Terry made a living by making clothes.B. Terry had a bad relationship with her mom.C. Terry and her family lived a hard life at that time.D. Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store.25. Which of the f ollowing words best describes Terry’s mom?A. Strict.B. Critical.C. Faithful.D. Considerate.26. What made Terry change her idea about Christmas gifts?A. The value of the fabric.B. The responsibility for her family.C. The memory of her childhood.D. The endless love from her mother.27. W hat is the best title for the text?A. A Christmas DayB. The First QuiltC. Colorful FabricsD. Hard ChildhoodCHave you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in, but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? In the U. S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it-dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once iceboxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So, next time you travel overseas, don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.28. Who has written the text?A. A European.B. An American.C. A Canadian.D. An Asian.29. Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature?A. Because they have no fridges.B. Because they have warm taps.C. Because they are accust omed to it.D. Because they can’t afford ice.30. What can we infer about Brits?A. They treat their guests to cold drinks.B. They always follow what Americans do.C. They don’t know where to get ice blocks.D. They have ice boxes later than Americans.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’t.B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.D. How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.DWhen it comes to mental illness, many people often find it tough to get the help they need. This is especially true for young students making the transition(过渡) to college life.“Sometimes, students don’t realize how hard it is to adjust to col lege,”said Laura Smith, associate dean of students at the University of Texas at Dallas. “You’re not the big fish in your classes anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; you’re away from home. Dealing with these things is not easy.”Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to reach out. But if students don’t feel comfortable seeking help, many fee l that it’s the responsibility of their university to help them.“I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling(咨询) centers help students,” said Comnie Trinh. “Counseling servi ces are just as important as academics and sports.”Trinh, 27, graduated from Texas Woman’s University in 2015. During college, she hosted various workshops on how to handle mental health conditions. Trinh used her own story to connect with students who might be facing similar problems. High academic pressures, cultural differences as an Asian American and stressful social situations stood out as some of the most common causes of Trinh’s anxiety.It was only after years of personal problems that she could admit that reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness.”If y ou feel you can’t connect with other people around you, you should address the issue without shame,” Trinh said. “You’ll find that there are a lot of people out there who sincerely want to help you.”32. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflection s upon .A. college lifeB. counseling serviceC. mental healthD. cultural differences33. What’s Trinh’s preferred solution to the problems mentioned?A. Making self-criticism.B. Handing the problems actively.C. Solving the problem on your own.D. Finding the causes of the problems.34. What does the underlined phrase “con nec t with” in the last paragraph pr obably mean?A. Get along with.B. Join together with.C. Be related to.D. Get through to.35. What can we learn from the text?A. Counseling service helps doing research.B. Adjusting to college life is a piece of cake.C. Hosting workshops improves students’ ability.D. Being brave to get help is not a sign of weakness.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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2019-2020学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题 (III)
2019-2020学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题 (III)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项AHousework is a frequent source of disputes(争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “women’s work”.The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality(平等) is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, pared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr. Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “We’ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”Dr. Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.1. The underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “”.A. lose weightB. be lazyC. earn moneyD. do equal housework2. Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because .A. men are too busy to helpB. they would like to do soC. they can do better in houseworkD. housework will still be considered as women’s work3. From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK .A. men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on averageB. women now are too busy with their work to do houseworkC. women now spend less time on housework than beforeD. housework is shared equally between men and women4. In Dr. Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?A. Cultural attitudes towards houseworkB. Policies made by the governmentC. The time spent on workD. The type of houseworkAs they migrate(迁移), butterflies and moths(飞蛾) choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects weren’t passive but active travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate(导航) directly to their wintering homes.Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn’t always go with the flow. If breezes weren’t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to pensate(抵消). Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour.The findings may have real-world applications.With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decidewhen to spray their crops.5. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Insects migrate with the seasonsB. Wind helps insects greatly in migratingC. insects have real directionD. Scientists have trouble in observing insects6. Scientists originally thought that .A. insects always waited for their favorable windsB. insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC. insects were just blown about by the windD. insects positioned themselves in the winds7. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because .A. the little creatures can fly very fastB. their flight is long and high above groundC. the wind’s direction is hard to foreseeD. they have no regular migrating courses8. According to the passage, the findings can .A. increase insects in numberB. instruct farmers when to sprayC. prevent climate warmingD. help protect insectsCDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! "This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been , " During Governor Smith's term , the state had a net gain of two million jobs. "Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky pany.This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth can lie as well.9. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.10. We may infer that the author believes people should___________.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky pany11. What do the underlined words " net gain" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increase.B. big advantage.C. large share.D. total saving.12. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A. False statements are easy to see through.B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C. Doctors like to act in advertisement.D. Advertisements are based on facts.DSM Card CutterChange regular SM cards to smaller SIM cards.Did you know you can cut a regular size phone SIM card to a smaller size SM card and it will still work? This tool will help you do it. Just stick a SIM card in it, press it down like a stapler(订书机).A perfectly shaped smaller SIM is there. I've used it many times when swapping SIMs from one phone to another.03/7/17-Mark Frauenfelder Profi Cheese SlicerUses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections.I may own every cheese slicer ever made. I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.This cheese slicer is great for both tasks. It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires. A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper. Good news, the wire is replaceable, and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it. Maybe best to use on softer cheeses. Lessons learned. But, highly remended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses.03/6/17-Kent Bames Ash Bucket(桶子）Bucket with lid keeps your fireplace(壁炉）clear of ashes.I purchased this ash bucket remended by my friend and have found it invaluable. Previously I had an old bucket that got left outside and usually filled up with rain and became a mess to clean. This ash bucket has a raised bottom and thermal insulation(隔热层）to prevent any accidental hot coals in your ash to damage your floor or cause a fire. You can store this bucket indoors since the lid is nice and tight.03/3/17-Seth Wilson13.What can SIM Card Cutter do?A. Cut up a SM Card.B. Help store more information.C. Delete the information.D.

As we walked, he described a world of horses instead of cars, letters instead of telephones and candles instead of electric lights. As he pointed out all the hardships, I asked him,”Grandpa, what was the hardest thing you ever had to do in your life?”Grandpa stopped walking and with tears in his eyes he began to speak."Grandma got very sick after your aunt Mary was born. This was when your momand your uncle were still little children. Since there was no one to take care of them, I had to send them to an orphanage(孤儿院) so that I could take two or three jobs until your grandma got well. Every week I went to see them but the orphanage director wouldn’t let me talk to them or hold them. I could only watch my children play from behind a one-way mirror.I had never seen my grandpa cry before. For fifteen years, that special walk with Grandpa remained our secret.One day, when I asked my mom to bring Grandpa back home, she replied “Why? He never cared about what happened to us!”"Mom, Grandpa told me that every week he went to see the three of you. He used to watch you play from behind the one-way mirror. " I saw my mom's eyes widen. Tears started to gather in the corner of her eyes. The anger and sadness disappeared from her face.Not long after, my grandpa came to live with us.

It gave me a power rare among my classmates: the ability to get around the city without the assistance of an adult.By the time I turned sixteen, a new form of transportation appeared. Like most young Americans, I believed the advertisement that a car was a must for an adult. Forthe next ten years- except for a short time in college when I found myself unable to afford a personal vehicle---I left the bus behind.But then I accepted a job at a software company fifteen miles away from my home. During my commutes(上下班路程), I became more aware of the negative （负面的）impact of car culture: pollution and isolation (孤独). I began to question my right to subject the earth and my beloved city to the impact of my choices. So I returned to my roots and began to ride the bus to work. Eventually, I was using my car so rarely that I decided to try living without one. I sold it in March 2003 and have used the bus as my primary transportation ever since.Riding the bus isn’t al ways fun. I don' t like riding on rainy days when the floor is slippery. I don't like standing when the bus is crowded. In spite of theseoccasional inconveniences, I will never go back to driving. I believe in feeling the sun on my skin, in breathing fresh air and moving my body. I believe in protecting our remaining farmland and forests. I believe that human life is sacred(神圣的), that the worlds resources should be shared, and that every choice matters. I believe that changes are possible if all of us ride.28.

He only drives his car on rainy days.C. He may go back to driving again in the future.D. He tries what he can to protect the environment.DThe bandwagon effect(从众效应) refers to the tendency people have towards a certain behavior, style, or an attitude simply because everyone else is doing it. The more people that adopt a particular trend, the more likely that other people will also join the bandwagon.The bandwagon effect is partly because the cognitive biases(认知偏好). Cognitivebiases are often designed to help people think and reason quickly, but they often cause wrong judgments and mistakes.So, why does the bandwagon effect occur? People are highly influenced by the pressure and standards from groups. When it seems like most people in thegroup are doing a certain thing, not doing that thing becomes increasingly difficult. The bandwagon is Essentially a type of groupthink. As more peopleadopt a particular trend, it becomes more likely that other people will also “jumpon the bandwagon",When it seems that everyone is doing something. There is great pressure to conform, which is perhaps why the bandwagon behaviors tend to form so easily.Fear of being excluded (排除) also plays a role in the bandwagon effect.An individual generally does not want to be the unusual one, so going along with what the rest of the group is doing is a way to ensure inclusion and social acceptance from the group.The effect of these bandwagon trends is often relatively harmless, such as on fashion or pop music. Sometimes they can be far more dangerous. When certain ideas begin to form, such as particular attitudes toward health issues, bandwagon beliefs can have serious and damaging consequences.32. Which of the following cases belongs to the bandwagon effect?A. A boy learns smoking from his father.B. A girl buys a new dress she likes very much.C .A girl advises her best friend to buy a new dress.D. A boy smokes because his companions all smoke.33. What does the underlined word"conform "in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ObeyB. ShareC. ReduceD. Quit34. What causes the bandwagon effect for a high school student?A. Fear of falling behind others.B. A shortage of friends at school.C. Worrying about being left out of the group.D. An increasing pressure to compete with others.35. What is the author's attitude towards the bandwagon effect?A. PositiveB. ObjectiveC. DoubtfulD. Unconcerned第二节（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。
