高二下期英语第七次周考（考试时间40分钟，满分100分）一、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分）AI’m sure you know the song “Happy Birthday”. But do you know who wrote the song and for whom it was written?The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville USA, could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew. She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!Miss Patty Hill and her sister had never expected that this song would become so popular, but it really did. People all over the world like the song because of its simplicity in tune（曲调简单）and friendliness in words.1. Archibald A. Hill was __________.A. EnglishB. RussianC. AmericanD. Australian2.

To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.“Ec o-passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage. Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Different animals like salamanders（火蜥蜴）and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!6. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that __________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving condition has improved greatlyC. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidentsD. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work7. From the story, we know an eco-passage is __________.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a path for animals to cross the road8.

The world-famous painting resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris.The regulations are of no legal value，defense lawyer Romain Boulet said before Thursday’s ruling．Furthermore，their argument emphasized that a smile would give hard-pressed France“a morale boost ”and hoped the appeal court’s approval would make the French people smile. Unfortunately，their intentions failed to amuse French justice. Whether people are cheerful or not，their passport photos must show only poker faces．41．The unnamed French civil servant had his passport application turned down because _____.A．he lost a case in 2014. B．he charged French authorities.C．his photo was too noticeable. D．there was a smile in his photo. 42．Why was Mona Lisa mentioned in the passage?A．To remind readers the painting is now in Paris．B．To emphasize the strictness of the passport rule．C．To introduce the great painter Leonardo da Vinci．D．To show what kind of smile is acceptable to authorities．43．If we say someone has a “poker face”，we probably mean___________．A．he looks attractive. B．he appears frightening.C．he wears no expression. D．he seems enjoyable.答案页改错May I have you attention please? I have a little things to tell you.
