I. 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）ALife in 2060Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe(假设；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet star ted to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.1. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?A. Many tourists.B. Many other animals.C. Many plants.D. A sea.2. What will people eat then according to the passage?A. Biscuits in pill form.B. Foods in pill form.C. Foods in water form.D. Foods in gas form.3. The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.A. there are fewer populationB. there are more pestsC. there is less waterD. the crops are getting better4. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?A. Because they don’t eat meat.B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.C. Because the number of animals decreases.D. Because all the animals have died of diseases.BKevin Henkes (2008), under 40 pagesTarget Audience: PreschoolersPrice: $3.8Content: It is snowing really hard and Old Bear is getting ready for his long nap.

Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first must-see movie in 3D.But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has struggled technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audience time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we’re going through the same proces s with 3D.Some day cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the Us, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University has found audience don’t actually enjoy movies in 3D any mor e than in 2D. Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over $150 million at the box office, and Cameron’s Titanic 3D made even more.Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, “ I’m hoping 3D gets to a point where people don’t notice it because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”9. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies ________.A. were not successfulB. became popularC. developed quicklyD. were of poor quality10.The example of sound and color is used mainly to show that ______.A. Hollywood tends to absorb what is newB. 3D technology takes time to be acceptedC. Hollywood struggles with new technologyD. high technology helps to make better movies11. In Walter March’s opinion, 3D movies_______.A. bring movie makers great profits.B. are more expensive than 2D movies.C. do great harm to people’s health.D. are unsuitable for people to watch.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Avatar was the first 3D movies.B. 3D cinema has existed for years.C. Titanic 3D has made the most money.D. 2012 witnessed the coming of 3D’s time.DGiven Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much o f Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liber al postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists,it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.13. What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.B. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.C. The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.15. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities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。

高二下学期期末考试英语试题（考试时间120分钟，满分150分）一．阅读理解（共两节，满分60分，每小题3分）第一节（共15小题，满分45分）AMistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way. Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.1.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifeD. human beings make mistakes easily2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.3. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. examplesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories4. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedBI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language —the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple nguage is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited”English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.5. The author used to think of her mother’s English as .A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author’s mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.7. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is .A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The change of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.CThe Amazing Kids!

Groups of 15 or more receive a 50% discount.●It helps them develop new (and possibly life-long)friendships.●It allows them to practice the traditional form of letter writing and correspondence.●They love getting letters in the mail from their pen pals!Parents love our program because:●It offers one of the few remaining choices for finding an established, safe and trusted traditional pen pal program to their children.●It helps strengthen communication and literacy skills taught in their children’s classroom.●It helps open their children’s eyes to a larger world, and other cultures and traditions outside their own.●Many parents remember having a pen pal when they were children and want to give their children the same positive, fun learning experience.●Parents love helping their children find new friends of their own age and gender.Frequently asked questionsWhy is there a fee?We are a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization, and the fees help cover our cost of running the program.How did the Amazing Kids! PenPals Program begin?The program began as a way of reaching out to the children affected by the devastating(毁灭性的) hurricanes of 2005. Our hope was that by matching young hurricane survivors with a new pen pal, we could help them in their recovery from the trauma (创伤) they experienced.The program is now available to all children worldwide. We continue to welcome teachers, youth groups or agencies who like to work with hurricane survivors.How does it work?Amazing Kids! will match students of the same gender and age with other students who may share similar interests and hobbies, based on the information provided on the registration form.I’ve completed all forms and made my payment. What happens next?Someone from Amazing Kids! will contact you once a match has been found. You will be asked to call the other parent, teacher or group leader of the pen pal Amazing Kids! has selected. If both adults agree that the pen pal match is a good one, then the students may begin writing to each other. If the match is determined not to bea good one, Amazing Kids! will try and find an alternative match.9.If a group of twenty children want to join the program, they should pay _____altogether.A. $50B.$100C.$150D.$20010.Parents may agree the program helps children_________.A. travel around the worldB. communicate well with othersC.

PenPals Program was set up for the kids who ______.A. suffered from the hurricanesB. were willing to make pen palsC. were good at writing lettersD. wanted to help hurricane survivorsDCities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air. Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015, according to the latest plan released by the State Council.Besides the existing pollution control program for SO2, regional emission caps (区域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas— the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and theBeijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, according to the plan.“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Monday.“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.”These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 percent of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according to official figures.Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution. Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province, theChengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs, according to the plan.The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, which will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, which only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.12. It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because .A. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent yearsB. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s healthC. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areasD. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities13. Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s, the visibility there nowadays is .A. 123 to 115 kmB. 137 to 145 kmC. 123 to 145 kmD. 115 to 137 km14.. The main purpose of the passage is .A. to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollutionB. to introduce the new plan to control air pollutionC. to provide official figures of air pollution levelsD. to point out the regions affected by air pollution15. What does the underlined phrase“the true picture”in the last paragraph mean?A. The major pollutants.B. The key polluted areas.C. The major polluted cities.D. The pollution levels.第二节七选五（共5个小题，满分15分）Being organized is an important skill for school and life．When you’re well organized, you can stay focused, instead of spending time hunting things down． 16 For schoolwork, it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when．Keeping labeled folders （贴有标签的文件夹） for handouts（课堂讲义）and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization．For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go． 17 It means keeping your schoolbag, your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them．Planning is part of being organized, too．18 Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan．You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace．Making a schedule or “to-do” list for yourself is a good idea．Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do．19 Check off things when you’ve done them．Use your list to help you decide which thing is most important to work on first．20 But once you’re organized, it feels great．The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or playing．A．Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it．B．First, you should get your schoolwork organized．C．Add new things as you get assignments．D．You will benefit a lot from a good habit．E．What does it mean to be organized?F．It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff．G．It means hanging your coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair．二、完形填空（共20小题，满分40分）Seven loyal（忠实的）readers came to the Teens Office two weeks ago.

Four.BLast Friday, 6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall inGrandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family. But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa’s side: he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自闭症) would land him on the “naughty list.”His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he’s “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when you’re at the grocery store if he’s too loud,” Johnson said. “He’s been told by other people before,‘You don’t need to be so naughty,’ or, ‘Why are you naughty?”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon’s worries, and held the boy’s hands all the while.“Santa sat him next to him and took Landon’s hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn’t. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and it’s hard for people to understand that he has autism,” but that he’s “not a naughty boy.”“You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it’s OK. You’re a good boy,” Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon. “You’re a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa’s thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now — that he’s special and I love him just the way he was made,”the mom told . “Seeing Landon’s face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldn’t stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”24. What did Landon do after he raced back to Santa?A. He shared Christmas desires with Santa.B. He checked if he was the real Santa Claus.C. He told Santa how his autism had bothered him.D. He asked for a toy dinosaur and a remote control car.25. What did Santa tell Landon to do?A. Avoid those who mistake him.B. Remain what he is.C. Try to change the way he behaves.D. Tell others about his autism.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Every child is quite possible to be bothered by autism.B. Chatting with Santa was a special Christmas gift for Landon.C. Santa Claus are always popular with children and their parents.D. Naughty boys are hard to understand because of their bad behaviors.27. What’s the best title for the text?A. It’s OK to be youB. Autism is really a problemC. Find time to chat with SantaD. Don’t stay with naughty boysCWhen kids hit puberty(青春期), their bodies and minds go through tons of changes, including the larynx, the voice box in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice. You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations(震动) under your fingers, you’ve found it!When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what’s called an Adam’s apple. Everyone’s larynx grows during puberty, but a girl’s larynx doesn’t grow as much as a boy’s does. That’s why boys have Adam’s apples. Most girls don’t have Adam’s apples, but some do.But why is it called an Adam’s apple? If you think it’s called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you’re right. An Adam’s apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls’ voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys’ larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls’ voices.The larynx doesn’t grow to its new size overnight, though. If you’ve ever heard a teenage boy’s voice sound squeaky(发短促尖叫声的), you’ve heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!28. Who has Adam’s apples after puberty?A. All kids.B. Most girls.C.
