ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯). I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic (全景)windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies(水稻梯田)and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4. The underlined word ―traverses‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. leaves forB. consists ofC. moves acrossD. arrives at5. According to this passage, the longest journey may be _______.A. Trip to Alaska National ParksB. India TourC. Tales of Laos TourD. Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route6. The Eastern & Oriental Express is different from Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express in that _______.A. it offers satisfying serviceB. travelers feel every relaxedC. the dining car has a good environmentD. it provides a better view of the scenery7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. On the Trip to Alaska National Parks, visitors spend the night in the luxurious dining car.B. India Tour offers different attractions, varying from experiencing the cultural relic todoing some shopping.C. On the Tales of Laos Tour, visitors can enjoy wonderful rice paddies and ride elephants.D. The Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.CDid you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online? It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.Companies like Real Translator Jobs are actively seeking translators from China to fill demand. There are more translation jobs than people to complete them. This leaves a big opportunity for anyone to start doing this and earn extra money.Do you have to speak perfect English? No! Even basic knowledge of English is OK. This is really a job for anyone from China who wants to do it.We spoke to one student from Beijing, Harris, who has been doing this for 2 years now and is earning between $150 and $225 every day. He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an incredible amount ofmoney to earn !It is great that we now live in the ―Information Age‖ and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet. This type of work is surely to do great things for young people in China.If you would also like to do this, it’s easy to get started. Just follow these steps:1. Sign up at Real Translator Jobs (where Chinese translators are needed now), or a similar service.2. Review the job posting and complete the ones you like.3. Get paid once per month by cheque, PayPal or bank wire transfer.I hope you enjoyed this information and good luck earning extra money online translating documents.8.

Getting paid once a month in cash.DWe spend a quarter of our lives asleep. Sleep is necessary for the body to rest, yet our brains continue to process information. Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.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。

Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1.

He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places.

But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men .A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious.It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射).

ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime. Arctic Cliff FaceCliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Being camped on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet Call. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yung as RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people diehere every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else.

They have been visited by celebrities.BWhen you read Google eBooks on­line, there are new tools that will improve your reading experience. Google posted the new options on May 19,the same day that Amazon celebrated a mile­stone of selling more e-books than print books. Google includes a feature that Amazon hasn't managed to offer yet: readers can now translate passages of a text while they are reading an e-book in Google books.The Google e-Bookstore has books in different languages. There are even magazines to read in the Google e-Bookstore. Not all of the books can be downloaded to an e-reader, but they can all be read online. The new Google tools will work when you are reading Googlee-books in a web browser.On May 19, 2011, Google Books soft­ware engineer Derek Lei explained in an ar­ticle that " all of the tools have the same starting point. When you select a word or a passage, you can double click your mouse and a menu will appear. You will then see options to look up a definition, translate the words, and search the book. The definition works like a regular online dictionary; Google Dictionary offers a short definition with the option for more information and a pronunciation guide. The translation tool works the way Google's webpage translation works.〞Searching books has always been part of Google's focus;Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google with the aim of searching books. The new additions of defining books while you are reading them are common with e-book readers, but being able to translate to and from different languages, including Latin, is even bigger than the original "big idea" of Google books.5.Why was May 19 an important day for Google?A. Because Google began to sell more e-books than print ones.B. Because Google translated many books into Latin on that day.C. Because it was a turning point when Amazon was defeated by Google.D. Because Google offered new tools to make online reading easier.6.The Google e-Bookstore can offer its readers the following service EXCEPT________.A. downloading any e-book as they likeB. electronic magazinesC. e-books in many languagesD. translation while reading7.When you look up a new word with Google, ________.A. you have to stop reading and turn to a new pageB. you can double click your mouse and follow the instructionsC. you must refer to its pronunciation on other websitesD. don't expect detailed information about this word8.Google was started to_______.A. translate words or passagesB. search booksC. provide a communication toolD. exchange academic informationCIs there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest wealth." wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor’s. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat withpleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."9. The writer thinks that _____.A. work is as important as studiesB. health is more important than wealthC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money10. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do _____.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn't take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain11. The underlined part means "_____".A. he will be well againB. he wasn't a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he was feeling better than ever12. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man _____ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn't smoke so muchC. didn't smokeD. began to learn to smokeDMillions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers with very few supplies quickly. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly. You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.13.The solar oven has been in use for aboutA. 100 yearsB. 150 yearsC. 250 yearsD. 300 years14.The advantage of a panel cooker is thatA. It costs very little money to makeB. food can be cooked very quickly in itC. it can cook large amounts of food at a timeD. food can be kept warm in it for a longer time15. Which of the following is a disadvantage of a parabolic cooker?A. It takes a long period to cook a mealB. It’s too heavy to be carried.C. It requires certain skills to build and operate.D. It can be used only when the weather is perfect.第二节七选五〔共 5 小题,每一小题 2 分,总分为 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优选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

甘肃省武威市2016_2017学年高二英语下学期第二次月考试题

甘肃省武威市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期第二次月考试题本试题分为第I卷和第II卷两部分。

第I卷为选择题,第II卷为非选择题。

第 I 卷(选择题,共100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:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C, D)中,选出最佳选项。

APopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. E ven some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.1. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong2. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.3. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables4 The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise5. Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachBOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?”I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.。

AOne day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. Then all at once a beautiful fairy came out and asked the man what was the matter."I have lost my axe," he said."It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood."The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked," Is this yours?""No," said the man.The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again," Is this yours?""No," again answered the man.Then she showed him the old axe."Yes, that is mine, "called out the happy man."I know that well enough," said the fairy."I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I'll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one."1.

The fairy helped the man because he was ________ man.A. an oldB. a youngC. a poorD. an honest.B"Get up, get up, Jim. It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, b ut you…" he suddenly stoppedand looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!6. Jim was late for school because _______.A. he got up too lateB. there was something wrong with the busC. it rained heavilyD. he had to wait for the bus7. Mr. Smith, the physics teacher, _______ at first when Jim came into the classroom.A. felt sadB. looked kindC. looked worriedD. was unhappy8. Jim felt that _______.A. the jacket was large enough to keep him warmB. Mr. Smith took good care of himC. he understood what Mr. Smith said all the timeD. physics is easy if you like the physics teachers9. From the story, we can learn that _______.A. students can't be late for schoolB. students can learn better if teachers love themC. physics is easy if you like the physics teachersD. you'll catch cold if your clothes are wetCWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly,then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the othe r things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good nu mber I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Li sten to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.10. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B. He criticized her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her“ enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.11. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite su re which girl was telling the truth.12. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC. My FatherD. My ChildhoodDIn order to know a foreign language thoroughly ,four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence and without hesitation . Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.13.The most important things to learn a foreign language are .A. understanding and speakingB. hearing, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understandingD. memorizing and listening14. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?A. A good memory.B. Speaking.C. Practice.D. Writing.15. “Learn through use” means ________ .A. we use a language in order to learn itB. we learn foreign language in order to use itC. we can learn a language well while we are using itD. both B and C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人空白的最佳选项。

Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.附-1—评分标准1.本题总分为25分,按5个档次给分。

AI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to constructa nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.1.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Feeling uncertain about his future.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Efforts made in vain.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To cure a young owl .D. To look at a baby owl.3.What made the chick calm down?A. Some food.B. A new nest.C.A recording.D. Its parents.4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s beautiful.B. It’s unexpecte d.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.BWe all use money every day. It is essential because we can pay money for whatever we want. Money is recognized as banknotes and coins.However, many years ago people couldn’t go to the shop and buy what they wanted. They had to get what they wanted through the barter trade(实物交易).It was really difficult, for the barter often depended on coincidence of wants. For example, the seller of grain has to find a buyer who wants to buy grain and who also could offer something the seller wants to buy. And one more example, if a wheat farmer needs what a fruit farmer produces, a direct exchange is impossible because seasonal fruit would spoil before the grain harvest. The solution is to trade fruit for wheat indirectly through a third intermediate commodity(中间的商品),such as cattle, salt, shells, wine. However, commodity money had their disadvantages. For example, cattle, fur, precious stones couldn’t be cut into smaller pieces and it was inconvenient to keep and transport them. Thus coins were invented.The earliest known coins in the western world came from Lydia in about 650 B.C. Greek cities, the Great Persian Empire and Roman Empire quickly adopted the new useful technique of metal currency. And by the end of the 6th century, coinages were common throughout the region. However, coins as well as commodity money had many disadvantages. For instance, coins quickly show wear(磨损) and they usually have small value, so it’ s difficult to count large sums of coins.At first, paper money was used in China in about 650 A.D. After then ,it was used in Persia and Japan. In Europe, paper money was firstly produced in the Netherlands in the 16th century and in the USA in the 17th century. Paper money is worthless but symbolic. In other words, paper money is just a note. It has a purchasing power because the government announces it as money andcitizens accept it universally.5.The writer explains the difficulty of barter trade by .A. telling storiesB. making a comparisonC. presenting a theoryD. using examples6.What do we know about the early coins?A. They usually had large value.B. They still had many disadvantages.C. They were first used in Greece.D. People didn’ t like the metal currency.7.Paper money was used earlier in .A. RomeB. GreeceC. the NetherlandsD. the USA8.What is the passage mainly about?A. History of money.B. Function of money.C. Invention of money.D. Types of money.CTHYSSEN ELEVATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe. GUANGDONG THYSSEN ELEVATORS LTD.

But a phone call years ago found him a new career.“I got a random phone call one day,” he says. “They asked me if I could make a picture in somebody's lawn(草坪), and I thought: ‘well, you can make a picture out of anythin g, can't you?’” As a result, the finished masterpiece ended u p in the newspapers and, before he knew it, Naylor had a new profession: lawn artist.With a background in art, rather than gardening, battling natur e was a new experience for Naylor when he started. “It was a new challenge and it was very hard to research lawn art. How do you do it? There's not much of it out there. So I had to wor k out how it would work, and what I'd need.” He says.As a lawn artist, however, there is no room for error. And ther e's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goe s wrong. So Naylor has to get it right for the first time. “If you a ccidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key,” he says. “Grass is not a nice artistic mediu m. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be imp ressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it li ke any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, youhave to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass s oon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the ann oying thing about nature,” says Naylor.5.How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A.It was only a small one. B.It was difficult to create. C.It made him famous. D.It was created in winter. 6.What matters most to a lawn artist?A.Accuracy. B.Opportunity. C.Knowledge. D.Courage .7.What can we infer about lawn art?A.It has a long history. B.It can be created randomly. C.Rain is a help to the lawn art. D.It is a combination of ar t and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and ev en react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading you r mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or eve n a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions li ke moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel sa ys the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the pe rson is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to r eading documents like the EU banking regulations that most p eople would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered throu gh each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they w ere reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detec ting technology to future computers will help improve the digit al learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest le vel will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time a nd reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the techn ology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 8.Which movement does the machine keep track of? A.Breathing. B.Typing. C.Scratching. D.Walking. 9.What might people's high level of movement indicate durin g TVwatching?A.They are getting excited. B.They are feeling bored. C.They are very interested. D.They are thinking actively. 10.How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A.By a followup survey. B.By analysing previous data. C.By means of questionnaires. D.By observing participant s' performance.11.Which field will detecting technology be applied to? A.Agriculture. B.Politics. C.Industry. D.Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt , proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and gover n how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driv erless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses proper ty(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes be tween humans based on age or race; and that if a human rem oves his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check emai l, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic d riving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equ al legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not cl ear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introd uced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinkingof driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people exp ect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Bec ause of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport ra ther than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat the m as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer t o?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where pa ssing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless ca rs?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.

武威二中2016-2017(Ⅱ)期末考试高二年级英语试题命题人:朱晓蓉审核人:魏子武第一部分阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40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,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A“Pop”stands for popular, and a pop singer has to work very hard to stay popular.He must either give the public what they want,or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention.Even when he has succeeded,and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax.Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer isn’t easy at all.He can only relax when he is alone , because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records.they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too.Sometimes their enthusiasm(热情)is so hysterical(歇斯底里的)that they do anything to get a souvenir(纪念品).They steal handkerchief,they tear off buttons,and they even cut off pieces of unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide,and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped(剥)practically naked by their fans.A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes because he must always look smart, or at any rate,different.He must have a luxurious(豪华的)car.And most importantly,he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.1.Pop singer works very hard .A. to get attentionB. to stay popularC. to get more moneyD. to sell more records2.The underlined word“annoying”in the second paragraph means .A. lovelyB. friendlyC. boringD. angry3.A pop singer has a lot of clothes in order to keep himself .A. smart and the sameB. smart and differentC. healthy and youngD. rich and strong4.A suitable title for this passage might be .A. The Way to Become a Pop SingerB. The Fans of the Pop SingerC. The Pop SingersD. The Success of Pop SingersBSome people don’t mind being fat.Other people can keep slim(苗条)without any effort.But a lot of people do put on weight and don’t like it.The question is, what can they do about it?Some believe exercise can be helpful.But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread an jam.A helpful way is food choosing.But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be.They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You’ll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren’t cheap. Another says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs,and apples with their skins on which are hard for your stomach to digest(消化),the more you eat,the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme(极端的).The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates(糖类)that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else you like.It’s straight forward and often quite effective.Still others like to be more scientific. They get a table,which tells them that, for example,100 grams of roast leg of lamb gives you 330 calories and a 50 gram helpingof pudding gives you 130 calories.5.There seems nothing wrong with exercise except that .A. it makes you sweatB. it’s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more6.According to the passage, the best way to keep slim is .A. exercisingB. hungerC. food-choosingD. eating milk and bananas7.The practical method suggested here means .A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating as little as possibleD. eating things that are hard to digest8.Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A.

Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire . This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.12.
