Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

hitmovie Up-in reparation for a more ambitious journey and a new record．Fearless Trappe，from North Carolina，stepped into the cartoon themed home before flying above the Leon International Balloon

across the English Channel to______．A．test the balloons B．launch a houseC．shoot a hit movie D．prepare for breaking a record2．To finish the journey，he will fly a distance of______．A．2500 miles B．18，000 feet C．25，000 feet D．230 miles 3．About the ambitious journey，which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．When he will fly B．How high he sill flyC．How far he will fly D．How long it will take him4．How many world records does Jonathan hold?A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five5．What does he last paragraph imply?A．Trappe can’t sleep worrying about the adventureB．Trappe was born to set world recordsC．Trappe always keeps his ambition in mindD．Trappe never thought of crossing the Atlantic before4.（15分）Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher，and the teacher will ask us some questions．Sometimes，the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class．When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics，remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying．You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent，waiting to hear what you have to say．You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself．Remember，too，that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you．The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation．You must take special care that you can be heard．1．When you speak to the class，you should speak ______．A．as slowly as possible B．in a low voiceC．loudly D．forcefully2．Usually，when you speak to the class，the class is ______．A．noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house．A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as4．If you are having a conversation with an official，the most important thing for you is ______．A．to show your ability B．to be very gentleC．to make sure that you can be heard D．to put the official at ease5．The main idea of this passage is ______．A．that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB．that we must speak loudlyC．that we must keep silent at any timeD．that we must talk with the class5.（15分）You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood？Impossible！Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negativeperson is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible．Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______．A．make a comparison B．offer an evidenceC．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene2．How can negative people have effect on us？A．By influencing our emotion．B．By telling us the nature of life．C．By changing our ways of thinking．D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．3．Some negative people base their happiness on ______．A．other people’s pity for them B．making other people unhappy C．building up a positive attitude D．other people’s respect for them 4．According to the passage，to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ______．A．change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB．show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC．make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD．communicate with negative people as little as possible5．What is the author’s attitude towards negative people？A．Favorable．B．Critical．C．Indifferent．D．Supportive．三、语法填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）6.（20分）Every four years, millions of people

AAfter eight puppies(幼犬) were abandoned on the side of the road in Texas, an animal shelter came to the rescue and brought them all the way from Brownwood, Texas to Wintersville, Ohio. Their journey was, by no means, a simple one.The puppies were first found fighting for their lives in a muddy channel. They were extremely weak and dehydrated(脱水) after being forced to protect themselves in the burning Texas sun. Once the puppies were discovered, their journey was far from over. They were immediately brought to what is known as a “high kill” shelter, and after only a few hours, were scheduled for euthanasia. Things weren’t looking good for the pups and were cruel despite lack of suffering. Luckily, they were rescued once more.“There’s a group that specifically goes around to these high kill shelters and rescues the animals that are schedule d for euthanasia,” said Brandi Damewood, the JCHS Community Outreach Manager. “These guys were rescued by the Corrine T. Smith Animal Center.”The puppies would eventually end up under the care of the Jefferson County Humane Society. This is because no-kill shelters and rescue organizations often work together to aid in urgent cases. An incredible network of shelters helping other shelters enables these miracle workers to save so many pets in danger of being put down prematurely(过早地).The JCHS has appropria tely titled the puppies’ journey “the freedom ride”. The 20-leg trip required 16 different volunteers to drive a total of 1,300 miles and they would meet at specified stops, and then the puppies would be transferred to the next driver for the next leg of the journey. But it was all worth it to save these adorable pups!Since arriving in Ohio, the puppies have been vaccinated(给……接种疫苗) and are hoping to find forever homes in the near future.21. The underlined word “euthanasia” in Para. 2 most probably means “_____________”.A. practice of killing without painB. medical examination for an animalC. physical care of a baby animalD. supplies of food and housing for animals22. What is the writer’s attitude towards the network?A. Intolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Favourable.D. Neutral.23. The passage mainly tells us that _____________.A. volunteers worked together to find homes for abandoned puppiesB. abandoned puppies caused animal shelters too much troubleC. shelters tried their best to cure eight abandoned animals in TexasD. eight rescued puppies journeyed 1,300 miles in a “freedom ride” ？BFor more than a century, student journalists at the Daily Tar Heel (DTH) have written about life on campus, US and raised questions on the issues of free expression, education, and big-time athletics.The independent student newspaper recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. To mark the special day, studentreporters asked the question: What’s the future of the DTH? The proud newspaper has been searching for the answer, and so have other college newspapers across the US.Student newspapers are facing a dark reality. As they are free to read, they are making less money than ever, meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.Most college papers have reduced their print editions. While it used to produce around 22,000 newspapers each time, it only makes around 10,000 now, said Erica Perel, general manager.Increasingly, student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers, and the new ways social media allows them to tell stories and mirror what’s going on in the professional journalism world.“I think we’re adjusting very well...in moving away from that print mentality. But it’s challenging,” said Jonathan Carter, a student at North Carolina State University.So what should student newspapers do? LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially back student journalism, since journalism is a part of cultivating civically(公民地) responsible students and the independent media coverage is recognized as an effective vehicle.In the meantime, Bruce dePyssler, adviser to North Carolina Central University’s Campus Echo newspaper, said his students post one story a day online. The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester(学期) print edition.And even if student journalists don’t go into media jobs, Perel said, they’ve still had a great education.“The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking and how to pursue knowledge constantly,” she said. “The ones who are living through this transition(过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot tougher for it in the end.”24. What can be read about at the Daily Tar Heel (DTH)?A. Students’ college life.B. Some famous sports facilities.C. Columns about the free subjects.D. Articles on the education of journalism.25. What does LoMonte suggest student newspapers do to overcome the difficulty?A. Reduce print editions.B. Publish more digital editions.C. Ask colleges for economic support.D. Adopt a once-a-semester print edition.26. How can student journalists benefit from the job, in Perel’s opinion?A. They become good at taking criticism.B. They learn how to be a lifelong learner.C. They have mastery of logical thinking.D. They gain numerous problem-solving skills.27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The proud history of the Daily Tar HeelB. Student reporters adapting to changing situationsC. An example of combining newspapers with new mediaD. School newspapers under threat in the digital age in the USCOnce upon a time, when you first attended a youth sporting event, your parents probably weren’t expecting you to become a professional athlete. They signed up for a basketball, football or swimming course for you in the hope that you might learn lessons about winning in a gentlemanly way, losing with dignity and insisting on it when things get tough. Yes, doing sports improves health, but it is the life lessons that matter most.For many of us, instead of struggling to improve our minds and spirits, we began judging progress only by the size of our muscles or the numbers on a weighing machine. For us, the thought that athletic competition is about greater life lessons and the building of character has been overshadowed by headlines about professional athletes.“And yet there’s still strong evidence that sports strongly foster certain personal qualities,” says Angela Lumpkin, Professor of the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kansas. And that’s true for athletes of any age. Amateur sports provide a safe place for competition. They also provide a practice ground for managing stress.The advantages of taking part in a sport can seep(透) into your professional life, too. In basketball, for example, “Getting everyone to play the right role on the court is the key to success,” says Alan Arlt, the founder of the LifeTime Fitness basketball program Ultimate Hoops. “That is certainly useful in the business world, wher e everyone understands their own role in the organization.” In addition, “In athletic events, you go through good and bad times often in the period of two hours,” says former NBA head coach Flip Saunders. “Do you have the calm manner to settle yourself down, or do you totally lose it and get thrown out of the game which hurts both you and your team? All of that on-court experience has impacted the way you approach situations in reality.”28. What would parents expect when their children joined in sports?A. To get through obstacles with perseverance.B. To enhance their comprehensive fitness level.C. To defeat opponents with the burning ambition.D. To win as many professional games as possible.29. What do many people do according to the article?A. They play sports to evaluate the size of the muscles.B. They keep playing sports to improve mental health.C. They still hold the idea that sports can better build characters.D. They pay more attention to the news of professional athletes.30. Why does the author mention “Amateur sports” in Paragraph 3?A. To clarify a concept.B. To illustrate Lumpkin’s idea.C. To make a prediction.D. To present a phenomenon.31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about taking part in a sport?A. Keys to success in basketball and in athletic events.B. The significance of understanding the role on the count.C. Its influences on our career life and on how to address real-life situations.D. Ways to keep calm in athletic events and the application in real circumstances.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二上学期期末考试(英语)试题含答案

高二上学期期末考试（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分37.5分）1.（7.5分）Beijing Imperial Court Food(宫廷菜)Imperial Court Food is a style of food with origins in the Imperial Palace and it is well-known for the original features of the raw materials and carefully selected ingredients. In addition, the dishes are decorated with different colored vegetables and fruits in various shapes. Each dish has a special name, such as Yu Feng Huan Chao. Today, Imperial Court Food has become an important school of Chinese cooking with several places offering this special taste. While expensive, it is worth trying.Fangshan Restaurant is the most famous one offering the first-class Imperial Court Food. The restaurant is made up of three parts and it can hold 500 people eating at the time. It is decorated in imperial style with the design of dragon and phoenix. Here is the best place to experience the life of the Chinese emperors in former days. Now, it serves nearly 800 kinds of Imperial Court Dishes. Among them, Man-Han Banquet is the most famous.The layout(布局) of the restaurant follows the imperial palace. When eating in the restaurant, diners are served by waitresses in traditional imperial clothes.The dishes and snacks cooked in this restaurant are worthy to be tried. And, the traditional performances at night is one of the restaurant's attractions.Both of the food and services of this restaurant are so good. You can also enjoy some wonderful performances in this large courtyard.（1）.Imperial Court Food stands out because of the following EXCEPT ______.A.pleasant namesB.reasonable pricesC.selective materialsD.pretty decorations（2）.If you'd like to try Man-Han Banquet, which restaurant should you go to?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Royal Palace.C.Yushan Restaurant.D.Fangshan Restaurant.（3）.In which restaurant can you enjoy Chinese traditional performances?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Y ushan Restaurant.C.Fangshan Restaurant.D.Royal Palace.2.（10分）The capital of France―Paris, also has a traffic problem like all big cities: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气). So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle―they'll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.

This is believed to be the first research analyzing impact of such races on those living nearby.The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30 days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest(心脏停搏) near a major marathon.Death rates among patients hospitalised on the day of the race were compared with those hospitalised five weeks prior or five weeks after the race, and researchers also compared death rates among people living close to the event and those living in areas unaffected by street closures.“When cities host big marathons, or when people participate in races, they don't think that there might be a chance that a person not taking part in the race could die because of the event,” said Jena.（1）.What did the scientists find from the research?A.Marathon races do harm to the players.B.Major marathons see many athletes die.C.Most people suffer a heart attack during races.D.Marathon increases the chances of heart attack death.（2）.What can we learn about the research trom paragraph 4?A.It is hard to avoid dying during marathon races.B.Treatment is usually absent during a heart attack.C.It is a research on effect of marathons on nearby people.D.It is suggested that people should give up marathons.（3）.What may people think of the result of the research from the text?A.Astonishing.B.Regretful.mon.D.Coincidental.（4）.Where is the text most probably from?A.Local sports games.B.Science and technology.C.Health and medicine.D.Environment and energy.4.（10分）A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring(结疤). The vitamin, which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.The research from Birmingham University, has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars.Professor Janet Lord said:“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life-threatening infections(感染), death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients.”Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity(严重程度) of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England nowrecommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.（1）.What does the new study find?A.People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.B.Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury.C.Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns.D.Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.（2）.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels.B.Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months.C.Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection.D.Minor burns have no effect on patients' vitamin D levels.（3）.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The researchers.B.Vitamin D pills.C.Previous studies.D.Some kinds of vitamins.（4）.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our HealthB.Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?C.Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?D.Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns &. Prevent Scarring二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. __1___ Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades, a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government. __2___ The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these success stortes.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s.
