What do the three jobs have in common?A. They have a starting salary.B. They need work experience.C. They need programming abilities.D. They offer certain benefits.BA few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip a Washington, D.C Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “ I don’t want your money. I just want you to help me find the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I英语试题第 9 页共 37 页guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my belief in humility（谦恭）,even though I’d lost it for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant(移民). I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice（偏见）. I remember a time, at the age of 17- I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed（当场见到）the same英语试题第 10 页共 37 页treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my A American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washingtoin, D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this article, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. The author regretted his act of prejudice.B. The blind woman needed the money badly.C. The author was as poor as the blind woman.D. The author was a native American25. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably .A. very excitedB. deeply movedC. greatly inspiredD. rather hurt26. Which opinion does the author probably agree with?A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.B. One should treat others equally with love and respect.C. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.D. One should be nice to the elderly and thedisabled.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How my dream comes trueB.A belief that will never changeC. A priceless lesson on the streetD. Learn from your pastCRobots and humans will soon be living in harmony（和睦）. A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the abilityto find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意识的) creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections at result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are facedwith two challenges(挑战). Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s r obot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella;s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.28. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.B. Copying a human singer’s movements and sounds.C. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.D. Living with human beings in harmony.29. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by ““.A. worriedB. certainC. concernedD. doubtful30. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They can talk with researchers.B. They are faced with two challenges.C. They will become human singers.D. They are household robots.31. What can be concluded(推断出) from the text?A. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.B. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.C. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.D. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.DThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的，表面的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标) or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and th eir caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear cancause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．32. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．A. grow up from his own achievementsB. aim high and reach his goal each timeC. face difficulties and take up challengesD. succeed in climbing up the social ladder33. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______．A. staying away from failures andchallengesB. being quick in self-adaptationC. having an open mind to new experiencesD. being curious about more changes34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. It is not so difficult to measure personal growth．B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is avoidable．C. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．35.The best title for this passage should be ______．A. Overcoming Internal FearsB. Two Basic Ways of GrowthC. Growth—Product or ProcessD. Facing New Challenges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。

2017-2018-2长郡中学高二开学考试英语试卷第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThanks to the interwebs,we can click and click and have a good laugh!We’ll have everything you need to howl like a monkey and bark like a seal.So,click on,internauts,and be ready! traces its origins to the print magazine Cracked,which started in1958.But Cracked has soon grown to become the most popular comedy site on the Internet,drawing over a billion views in2010.The website also runs in a wide range,featuring photo editing contests, sketches and films,and reader contests.For laughs, is your one-stop shop!2.Funny or DieAny website owned by Will Ferrell would already be in the running.But the debut video,The Landlord,made Funny or Die a must-click website.Funny or Die also manages to remain fresh and interesting by being so interactive,allowing viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die.The website has even made the big time,partnering with HBO(Home Box Office)in a hopefully plentiful combination of the minds between the best that TV and the Internet both have to offer.3.CollegeHumorWe have trouble sitting down for a90seconds,much less90minutes!College Humor seems incredibly skillful at catering to(迎合)such an ADD-riddled audience.Like Funny or Die, College Humor made it to the big time,though the College Humor Show only ran for a single season on MTV.The site also serves as the big sales store for T-shirts,which answers the question,“Where can I find a Honey Badger T-shirt?”4.9GAGYou know those black and white photos you’ve been seeing all over your Facebook feed(系统)?Well,if you ever wondered where they came from,then you need look no further than9GAG! And if you’re looking to do some terribly light reading with the click of a finger,then9GAG is your best bet.Relatively new to the game,9GAG’s viewer contributions and interactions look to make it an internet player for sometime to come.There you have it,top4comedy websites.Every last one is worth a few laughter and a good many clicks.21.What do Funny or Die and College Humor have in common?A.They only ran for a single season with HBO.B.They serve as the big sales store for T-shirts.C.They have ever made the big time,combining both the Internet and TV.D.They allow viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die.22.If you are creative with black-and-white photo effects,you may go for________.B.Funny or DieC.College HumorD.9GAG23.Which statement is TRUE of the four websites? also runs in a wide range such as photo editing contests.B.Funny or Die is owned by the print magazine Cracked,which started in1958.C.College Humor offers humors that only last for90seconds or90minutes.D.9GAG is not suited to those looking to do some terribly light reading.BAlthough Paris is often considered the city of romance,close to a million adults who call it home are single.Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people.The complaints(抱怨)of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as“supermarket dating.”At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet,singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list.They can look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair,and is1.8 meters tall,or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location,single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between6:30and9:00p.m.When they walk through the door,they pick up a purple basketto advise that they are looking for love.They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly,and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).With purple baskets in hand,shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries.When they are ready to pay,they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet.The supermarket,on the other hand,is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match.In addition,what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions.Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side.Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living.These ways it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.24.What do many single people in Paris complain about?A.The difficulty in meeting people.B.The idea of supermarket dating.C.The items on their grocery list.D.The inconvenience in shopping.25.Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?A.The dating supermarket is located in Paris.B.The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.C.People looking for love must get a basket of a particular colorD.The dating supermarket has very good business.26.How do love shoppers meet one another?A.They schedule their meeting in advance.B.They go through a special checkout.C.They pick out their groceries with great care.D.They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.27.Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A.The supermarket dating is more convenient.B.The supermarket dating is more fun.C.The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.D.The supermarket dating is more economical.CIf you live in America in the21st century you’ll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are.It’s become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing:“Busy!””Crazy busy!”.It is pretty obviously,a boast disguised as a complaint.And the common response is a kind of congratulation:"That’s a good problem to have,”or“Better than the opposite.”Notice it isn’t generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are.What those people are is not busy but tired.Exhausted!Dead on their feet.It’s almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed:work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily,classes and activities they’ve “encouraged”their kids to participate in.They’re busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety,because they’re addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.Almost everyone I know is busy.They feel anxious and guilty when they aren’t either working or doing something to promote their work.It’s something they have chosen.Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保证），a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy,completely booked,in demand every hour of the day.However,idleness is not just a vacation.It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body,and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets.The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole,for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.“Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do,”wrote Thomas Pynchon.Archimedes’“Eureka”in the bath,Newton’s apple:history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.28.When many Americans say“Crazy busy”,they mean________.A．they are really tired of their present situationB．they are really proud of their present lifeC．they are complaining about their current workD．their life are full of all kinds of problems29.Which of the following is purely self-imposed busyness?①pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU②commuting by bus to minimum-wage jobs③work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily④classes and activities they’ve“encouraged”their kids to participate inA.①②B.③④C.①③D.②④30.The writer mentions Archimedes’“Eureka”and Newton’s apple to show that__________. A．history is full of interesting storiesB．Archimedes and Newton were very busy,so they made great discoveriesC．people may get inspiration when they are idleD．inspirations come from hard work31.According to the last paragraph,what is the writer’s attitude towards idleness?A.Approving.B.Opposing.C.Neutral.D. Uninterested.DOpen data sharers are still in the minority in many fields.Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science,most are reluctant to post the results of their own labors online.Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists,for example,post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository(库),and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from,say,the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,a telescope that has observed some500 million objects—but these remain the exception,not the rule.Historically,scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons:it is a lot of work;until recently,good databases did not exist;grant funders were not pushing for sharing;it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data; and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.But the barriers are disappearing,in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data st year,the Royal Society in London saidin its report that scientists need to“shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve”.Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information,and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared digitally in ways that were not possible before.To match the growing demand,services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite them.Although calls to share data often concentrate on the moral advantages of sharing,the practice is not purely altruistic(利他的).Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits, including more connections with colleagues,improved visibility and increased citations.The most successful sharers—those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often—get noticed,and their work gets used.For example,one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world；it has been downloaded5,700times. Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass,to foresters looking for information on different grades of timber.“I’d much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions,”she says.“It’s important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results.Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible.”Even people whose data are less popular can benefit.By making the effort to organize and label files so others can understand them,scientists become more organized and better disciplined themselves,thus avoiding confusion later on.32.What do many researchers generally accept?A.It is imperative(必要的)to protect scientists’patents.B.Repositories are essential to scientific research.C.Open data sharing is most important to medical science.D.Open data sharing is conducive(有利的)to scientific advancement.33.According to the passage,what might hinder(阻碍)open data sharing?A.The fear of massive copying.B.The lack of a research culture.C.The belief that research data is private intellectual property.D.The concern that certain agencies may make a profit out of it.34.What helps lift some of the barriers to open data sharing?A.The ever-growing demand for big data.B.The advancement of scientific technology.C.The changing attitude of journals and funders.D.The trend of social and economic development.35.Dryad serves as an example to show how open data sharing________.A.is becoming increasingly popularB.benefits sharers and users alikeC.makes researchers successfulD.saves both money and labor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。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASocial media is one of the fastest growing industries in today’s world. A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.• Changing relationshipsHigh school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face- to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because of people’s attention given to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,” Cooper said.Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with each other. “I can feel close to someone that I’m talking to via FaceTime,” Kaplan said.• Wanting to be “liked”The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19- year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage t o a teenager’s self-esteem. Teenagers who get negative comments can’t help but feel hurt.• Opening new doorsHowever, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that has never been possible before,” Korsos said.21. Who met the long-distance friend through social media?A. Elly Cooper.B. Beth Kaplan.C. Essena O’Neill.D. Armin Korsos.22. What does Essena O’Neill think of social media?A. It hurts her seriously.B. It promotes friendship.C. It upsets her sometimes.D. It develops confidence.23. What is the topic of the text?A. Teenagers’ attitude toward social media.B. Social media’s influence on teenagers.C. A recent study conducted in the US.D. New ways of self-improvement.BMy grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. I was fifteen then. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan.I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request. “Could you play Amazing Grace%” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in hi s eye, because he knew my answer was always, “I don’t know that one!” We went through this routine at every major holiday, and I always figured I’d have time to learn it for him later.About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didn’t look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. We ha d all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and I’m sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate in the dining room and laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospital bed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.The next morning, I found my moment alone with him. I pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him Amazing Grace. I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and Iknew I had done something important.I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I know first-hand that with music I was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could.24. At first the author didn’t play Amazing Grace for Grandpa because.A. she hadn’t learned it yetB. she found it difficult to playC. she disliked playing itD. her grandfather was just joking25. From the last sentence in Paragraph 2 we can infer that Grandpa .A. treasured love from familyB. was used to living aloneC. was too weak to feel anythingD. was optimistic about his health26. When the author finally played Amazing Grace for Grandpa, she .A. made him smile joyfullyB. knew she must play it wellC. brought him love and comfortD. believed she could play it many times for him27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author was 15 when she wrote the article.B. The author has a great affection for her grandfather.C. The author prefers to be a doctor rather than a musician.D. The author is confident that music will make her much money.CThere is no doubt e-commerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of e-commerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that e-commerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing (消逝), and there are some solid reasons for it.The projections for online spending is optimistic with 150 billion expected to bespent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting 300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain (支撑) the e-commerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still some shopping centers that are performing well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all e-commerce retailers (零售商) are made equal. Both shopping malls and e-commerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, e-commerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through e-commerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting (省略) a huge chunk of the retail representation.28. The underlined word “projections” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A. predictionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. intentions29. What can we infer from the passage?A. E-tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t stand the blow of e-commerce.30. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?31. What is the best title for this passage?A. Will Physical Stores Replace E-commerce in the Near Future?B. I s Offline Spending Greater than Online Spending?C. Online Stores V. S. Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?D. Does E-commerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?DSelf-driving vehicles will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. Not everything important in a car’s environment will be caught by the vehicle’s camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until it’s too late. This is why vehicle-to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable.Applications for vehicle- to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles.From as far as several hundred meters away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units (RSUs) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network. A high level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from A to B, but also to reactintelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt in the light of information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviors. For example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead.Further applications of vehicle- to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behavior.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.B. The research about applications of self-driving vehicles.C. The importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.D. The reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.33. What does the underlined wor d “alert” mean in Paragraph 2%A1Alarm1 B1Condemn1C1Ignore1 D1Govern134. What can we learn about roadside units (RSUs)?A. They classify the vehicles on the road.B. They can improve bad road conditions.C. They take over the passing vehicles.D. They serve as efficient information stations.35. What is the best title for the text?A. When do vehicles communicate?B. The reasons why a high level of AI is importantC. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is comingD. What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?第二节（共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7. 5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。

2017年长郡中学高二英语分班考试试题及参考答案
高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life.

That’s because to protect them from being eaten by predators,the Amami rabbit buries them deep into the ground among the grasses and covers them up with dirt during the day.Then,in the middle of the night,still keeping a vigilant eye out for predators,it digs them out from their hiding place and feeds them.No wonder the animal is sometimes referred to as“midnight rabbit”．Though many measures have been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit

There are always risks when you bring people together. They increase when it is a social gathering and rise even further when alcohol is served.This is a company organized event, so you can be held resposible for employees’ misbehavior if it can be foreseen reasonably and you have not taken reasonable steps to prevent it, for example, drunken behavior at a party where you are providing alcohol is foreseeable, so you need to take steps to manage this and make sure that your employees know what is expected of them.Send a memo（备忘录)to all the staff reminding them that as this is a company organized event they are expected to behave in anapproprite manner. Tell them that any unacceptable behavior will be subject to the company’s disciplinary procedures（纪律程序）.Encourage reponsible drinking.Try to limit the amount of free alcohol and tell the bar staff that they should refuse to serve alcohol to people who are too drunk. Consider allowing unlimited soft drinks to all employees but limit free alcohol to a resposible level. It shou ldn’t be necessary for your staff to get drunk to enjoy themselves.While it may not be popular with your managers, it may be worth telling a couple of them to avoid drinking and be resposible for dealing with any problems that occur at the party before they get out of hand. It is also worth reminding them of the danger of getting into embarrassing situations with junior staff because of the misuse of power.Remind the staff of the dangers of drinking and driving and stress that anyone who drinks and drives in a company vehicle well be subject to disciplinary procedure.56. What does the underlined word “foreseen” mean?A. foundB. correctedC. acceptedD. predicted57. To prevent misbehavior at the party, the organizer should__________ .A. forbid the participants to drive to the partyB. inform the staff of the dos and don’ts in advanceC. say no to those who want to be served with alcoholD. try to limit the amount of free alcohol and soft drinks58. According to the passage, all managers should __________ .A. provide alcohol to the staff at the partyB. use their power to manage the young staff correctlyC. tell the staff to deal with any problem themselvesD. enjoy themselves without worrying at the party59. Who is this passage mainly for?A. Bosses of companies.B. Students and yong people.C. Anybody at the party.D. The staff of companies.60. This passage mainly refers to __________ .A. how to organize a company partyB. what are happening at the company partyC. how to prevent the risks happening at the company partyD. what to do with the dangers at the company partyBTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In ourcountry today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment(抛弃) , but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of ? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.61. This article is mainly about__________.A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts62. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that________ .A. v iolence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. s tudents tend to lose their temper easilyD. t he eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight63. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. T o find out who to blame.B. T o get ready to buy new things.C. T o make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.64. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.A. there was a decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. m ore teachers fell better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved65. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to_______.A. complain about problems in school educationB. t each students different strategies for school lifeC. a dvocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceCBirds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says hewonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.66. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______.A. they have to watch out for possible attacksB. their brain hemispheres take turns to restC. the two halves of their brain are differently structuredD. they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions67. What is implied about the example of a bird’s s leeping in front of a mirror?A. An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.B. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.D. A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.68. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______.A. alert themselves to the approaching enemyB. emerge(浮现) from water now and then to breatheC. be sensitive to the ever-changing environmentD. avoid being swept away by rapid currents69. It can be inferred that ______.A. Birds never sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.B. Inner ducks depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, as often as birdsnapping at the end of the line doC. It is not the first time for scientists to research on birds’ half-brain sleepD. Birds hardly sleep without a companion70. By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______.A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherB. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedC. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersD. half-brain sleep may exist among other speciesPart Ⅳ Writing (30 marks)Section A(5 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS FOR each answer. American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals.Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title: 71. ____________I.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The world of journalism can be very exciting. Journalists are on the cutting edge of local and global events. Before you take a big step by becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware that the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now.Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, here's what you need to do. Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write well, a degree in journalism,Enlish, and communication are also beneficial to those wishing to pursue a career in journalism. In addition to helping you gain the necessary knowledge, many universities offer employment services to new graduates. Attending journalism schools, also called journalism colleges, is an investment in your future.Pick a specialty(专业) .jobs in journalism vary greatly, so it is important to decide exactly which path you wish to take. Here are just a few types of journalists: For newspaper reporters, you must be flexible and able to make a quick decision because stories are often fast-breaking. Deadlines are typically tight, so be prepared to write with speed and accuracy. There are also broadcast journalists, investigative reporters, foreign reporters, or sports journalists and so on, which require different skills.You’ve got to have the right stuff.no matter which branch of journalism interests you, there are anumber of necessary qualities that are common to all. Journalists must have a “nose for news”. Good journalists must employ high ethics at all times. Additionally, a fair attitude is required for almost all areas of journalism; these jobs require a neutral(中立的) reporting of facts rather than opinions.Think big, but start small.although inernships during your last two years of college equip you with much experience, it’s highly unlikely that your first job as a journalist will be well-paying, but getting a j ob at a community newspaper or local television station is a good start. Once you’re working in the field, you’ll have the chance to prove yourself and actively seek advancement.81.Why does the author think that attending journalism schools is an investment in your future?(no more than 14 words) 3 marks82.How can a newspaper reporter deal with the problem of tight deadlines?(no more than 6 words) 2 marks83.What necessary qualities must all journalists have?(no more than 11words) 3 marks84.What is the purpose of the passage?(no more than 10 words) 2 marksSection C (15 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions gtven below in Chinese.1.暑假期间，高中一年级的同学们在老师的带领奔赴湖南省各地农村，进行了为期五天的社会实践活动(social practice activities)，请你用英语简要叙述你在社会实践活动中一次最难忘的事情,并谈谈自己在活动中的收获和感受。

绝密★启用前湖南省长郡中学2017-2018学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解Social media is one of the fastest growing industries in today’s world. A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.• Changing relationshipsHigh school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face- to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because of people’s attention given to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,” Cooper said.Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with each other. “I can feel close to someone that I’m talking to via FaceTime,” Kaplan said.• Wanting to be “liked”The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19- year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager’s self-esteem. Teenagers who get negative comments can’t help but feel hurt.• Opening new doorsHowever, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that has never been possible before,” Korsos said.1．Who met the long-distance friend through social media?A. Elly Cooper.B. Beth Kaplan.C. Essena O’Neill.D. Armin Korsos.2．What does Essena O’Neill think of social media?A. It hurts her seriously.B. It promotes friendship.C. It upsets her sometimes.D.

高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However,that never seems to happen.She has nightmares,which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage,President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，”Lawrence told Reuters.Fastpaced and full of action,Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in2012.With a97percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes,it is enjoying positive reviews.Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins.The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence,who won a best actress Oscar this year for her2012movie Silver Linings Playbook,has helped Catching Fire find success,Forbes pointed out.The23yearold actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s downtoearth personality in real life won the hearts of the public.So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away,a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers,the sequel(续集)was always going to be big，”Forbes noted.1．The underlined word“dampen”in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to“________”．A．hold B．lightC．reduce D．support2．Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A．Every year12teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B．Despite having won the74th Hunger Games,Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C．Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D．Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first The Hunger Gamesmovie.3．What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a．The previous film was successful.b．It is true to the original book’s story.c．Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d．It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A．abc B．abdC．acd D．bcd4．In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A．Beautiful Mind.B．Campus Trends.C．Culture Discovery.D．Society.BSometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives.What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you’re engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can’t vote when neither can you?It matters a lot, as it so happens!In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives,most of the time without us even realising it.To see this effect in action,make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community.When patterns emerge,you’ll be glad you did.Have you ever heard about the Butterfly Effect?You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps(拍打)its wings somewhere,a storm is created somewhere else.If you don’t believe it,have a look at these examples:Drought makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights rises very quickly.Civil war increases the number of refugees(难民).A change in national government causes your local school to change its meals.So you are supposed to track the news.Keep up with current affairs by:Buying newspapers; reading the news online;watching daily news bulletins;exploring news and current affairs magazines.It is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life,no matter where or how you live it.The only way to take back some control is to get involved.You don’t have to plan to be the next Prime Minister,but if you are concerned about something,do something about it.Consider:Voting with your money and only purchasing products you believe in.Volunteering for a cause you support.Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time;it is something for which you make time.Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making,but many of us let television,games,chats and other silly behaviors or attitudes get in the way.Make sure to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news,exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feeling known.5．According to the first paragraph,many people________.A．don’t care much for events in the local communityB．are not aware of the effects of the current affairsC．find it hard to develop the habit of reading newspapersD．are unwilling to share their views on current affairs6．According to Paragraph2,which of the following is the Butterfly Effect?A．Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.B．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.C．The greater the expectation placed on people,the better they perform.D．The tiniest influence on one part can have a huge effect on another.7．In Paragraph4,the author encourages readers to________.A．find out the hidden secrets of current affairsB．take part in activities related to current affairsC．develop a good understanding of politicsD．care more about political events than before8．What could be the best title of this text?A．Keeping Up with Current AffairsB．Paying Attention to the Butterfly EffectC．Great Effect of Current AffairsD．Several Tips on Tracking the NewsCIt is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irishborn writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues,not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight(苦难)of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system —Shaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play，Widowers’Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum(贫民窟)housing.His Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893)brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society,which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder(in1895)of one of the now most famous colleges in the world,the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time,many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学)in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”9．Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from______.A．the changes he brought to the British cultureB．his philosophies on the role of governmentC．his awareness of social problems of his dayD．the support for the London School of Economics10．Widowers’Houses is a play that mainly focuses on______.A．the failure of the UK education systemB．the housing problems of poor peopleC．robbery incidents in slum areasD．socialist movements in the UK11．By describing Shaw’s quotations as“part of the furniture of the English language”，the author means that Shaw’s words______.A．have become the best part of EnglishB．have greatly developed the English languageC．have made the English language philosophicalD．have become an inseparable part of the English language12．Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?A．They should be adapted for modern readers.B．They are mostly about the lives of working class.C．They deal with important social issues of their day.D．Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.DAfter many years on the endangered list of animals,Japan’s Amami rabbit can finally breathe a sigh of relief—that’s because this year,the rare animal is no longer in danger of dying out!The effort to save the darkfurred rabbit often referred to as a living fossil began in1921, when the Japanese government promoted it to the status of“natural monument”.This meant that it could not be hunted down for food.However,when that did not work,it got yet another promotion to“special natural monument”，which meant that the rabbit could not be trapped or hunted.While that helped,it was not enough—by2004with only between2,000—5,000 specimens(样本)left in the wild,the Amami rabbit was officially declared endangered!The reason for the severe population decline was attributed to loss of habitat caused by forest clearing for home and agriculture use and the introduction of a new invasive species not native to the island—mongoose(獴).Brought in to get rid of the snake population,the animals instead seemed to prefer the black rabbit.In2005,the government issued a strict mongoose capture order and slowly but surely,the rabbits started to come back.The rabbit lives a rather unusual lifestyle.Its ideal habitat is a forest that features both trees and large grasses—the former to find acorns(橡实)to feed on and the latter,to hide its babies. That’s because to protect them from being eaten by predators,the Amami rabbit buries them deep into the ground among the grasses and covers them up with dirt during the day.Then,in the middle of the night,still keeping a vigilant eye out for predators,it digs them out from their hiding place and feeds them.No wonder the animal is sometimes referred to as“midnight rabbit”．Though many measures have been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit for foodD．you can’t trap or hunt the darkfurred rabbit14．Why was the rabbit still in danger after it was promoted to“special natural monument”？A．Because it was always eaten by snakes.B．Because people still wanted to capture it for food.C．Because the rabbit lived a rather unusual lifestyle.D．Because of loss of habitat and a new invasive species.15．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4in the passage?A．watchful B．goodC．fearful D．shiny16．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Many officials don’t pay attention to rare species.B．Rare black Amami rabbits are no longer endangered.C．Saving the endangered species has a long way to go.D．The measures taken to protect the rabbit were in vain.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was young,I had a friend named Mark who loved to make
