甘肃省临夏中学2020学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分，满分30)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “ not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before the marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带)became loose. So I stopped to readjust(调整). Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was hungry！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.1. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt frightenedC. made up his mind to runD. lost heart2. How was the author’s first marathon?_________A. He quit halfwayB. He made it..C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end._________3. What does the story mainly tell us?_________A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.BMany high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will n ot be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, themore chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.4. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to.A. keep gaining knowledgeB. have a chance to study abroadC. become a more interesting personD.realize the importance of knowledge5. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?_________A. Being limited within the walls of a college.B. Valuing our own culture much moreC. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.D. Thinking differently from others.6. Which of the following are not mentioned by the writer about going tocollege? _________A. Gaining more knowledge.B. Experiencing diverse culturesC. Becoming a humorous person.D. Enlarging social networks.7. What is the text mainly about?_________A. Sources of knowledge.B.The reason why some people think college useless.C. The disadvantages of not being educated.D. Benefits of attending college.CHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name —phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty womantakes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage p hubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell ph ones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.8. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.C. To advertise the cartoon made by students.D. To warn doct ors against using cell phones while treating patients.9. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. He might get separated from his friends and family.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.10. Which of the following may be the author’s atti tude towards phubbing?A. Objective.B. Supportive.C. Optimistic.D. Opposed.11. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People who are addicted to phubbing.C. The possible consequences of phubbing.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.DOctober 15th is the Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned inmore than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators (捐赠者) will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after washing the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashin g with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub(揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. At last, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than anyvaccine(疫苗) or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect(感染) themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.12. What’s the best title for this pas sage?A. Hand washing: so important---it gets a day of its own.B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.C. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.D. Want to live a longer life?---wash your hands.13. The underlined word “rinse” in Parag raph 3 probably means _________.A.to wash away the soapB. to rub your hands carefullyC. to dry your h andsD. to clean your fingers14. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A. how to wash your hands correctlyB. why washing hands with soap is so importantC. the dangers of washing hands without soapD. when we should especially wash our hands with soap15. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A. AdvertisementB. Public serviceC. Health reportD. Advertisement.第二节阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Injecting the blood of young mice into the older ones improved their brainpower, a study found. Scientists at Stanford University plan to carry out trials in people in the hope that new treatments for dementia(痴呆症) can be developed."There are factors present in blood from young mice that can recharge an old mouse's brain so that it functions more like a younger one, "says Dr. Tony from Stanford University School of medicine. In the study published in Nature Medicine, mice aged 18months were given injections of the blood taken from mice aged 3months. The injected mice performed better on memory tests than mice of the same age that had not been given the blood. Dr. Tony said it was not known whether the same was true of humans, but a trial(试验) was planned.A research center in UK said the treatment restored certain aspects of learning and memory in mice, but was of unknown importance to humans. The research, while very interesting, did not test the type of brain damage that was seen in dementia, which is not a necessary consequence of ageing.Meanwhile, two similar studies by a separate team have thrown more light on how young blood may benefit the old, in mice at least. A substance(物质) in the blood of mice previously shown to have an anti﹣ageing effect on heart muscle also improvedbrain cells, according to a Harvard team. The research, published in Science, found the blood factors encouraged the growth of brain cells in old mice, and restored their sense of smell. The same chemical also improved muscle power of aged mice, the researchers found.4. The underlined word in paragraph I probably means ____________.A. changeB. destroyC. speedD. increase5. Scientists in the US will test the discovery in humans with the aim of ___________.A. proving the possibility to live longer.B. showing the importance of scientific research.C. publishing the study in Nature Medicine.D. treating an age﹣related disease successfully.6. According to the studies, the blood from young mice benefits the old in certain ways except in _____________.A. memoryB. muscle powerC. fur colorD. brain cells7. What's the author's attitude to the anti-ageing st udies？A. supportiveB. objectiveC. negativeD. doubtful.CI was stuck(困住) in O'hare airport on an extremely long weather delay, pacing(踱步) up and down the waiting hall for some exercise, when I passed a wine bar for the twentieth time or so. But this time there was a young woman behind the piano, playing what I could only describe as absolutely beautiful classical music. She had not been there ten minutes earlier when I passed.I sat down at an empty table for four very near the piano, and began to be warmedby her music and a bit by the wine! She played so effortlessly and with such beautyin every note. Her music immediately brought a huge smile to my face!Soon, on a break, I thanked her and she told me that after a long day's traveling, and now also facing long weather delays, she just needed to relax herself. Wow! Her version of relaxing herself was exactly a gift to me.As I sat alone drinking my wine, absorbed in this young woman's celebration ofher musical passion, two women approached my table and asked if they could join me.I invited them to sit and we immediately began sharing our love of music and celebrating the happiness the piano music was bringing us at that very enjoyable moment.The two women and I began to talk about our travels, life journeys, and passions. Hearing that unbelievable piano music, and then meeting such interesting women, who generously shared with me their wisdom(智慧), perspectives(观点), and feelings of love for each other, was truly joyous. Faced with an 11hour travel day—to get what normally takes 45 minutes—could have been physically and emotionally exhausting. Rather, by accident of walking by a wine bar at the right moment, and having a couple of seats open at my table, my life was filled with joy.I will cherish those moments for some time to come. This experience highlights(突出) the critical need in our lives to stop and listen to the music, to invite others to sit at your life table, to open yourself up to a stranger or two, sharing some of your deepest perspectives and experiences. Be open to noticing, absorbing, and also contributing to the joy around you!8. Where did the author hear the young woman's performance?A. In a wine bar.B. On the plane.C. Outside the waiting hall.D. In a chatting room.9. How long was the author's travel supposed to take without weather delay?A. 10 minutes.B. 20 minutes.C. 45 minutes.D. 11 hours.10. How did the author think about the experience in the airport?A. Complex but unforgettable.B. Boring and meaningless.C. Long and tiring.D. Joyful and meaningful.11. The author writes the text in order to encourage people ________.A. to share their experiences with othersB. to notice and enjoy the happiness around themC. to make the acquaintance of strangersD. to communicate with others more oftenDHave you ever had a science class that you look forward to？It doesn't happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Field, it's more than a science class. It's a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don't care about. My experience with Mrs. Field didn't start with science class, but with her as my tutor.I was always a weak reader and wasn't getting any better.My parents told me I needed to be tutored(辅导). One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to drag me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness. We didn't even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn't make me read a boring textbook about something I didn't care about. I didn't even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be？To my surprise, She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me, in this way I didn't have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today!12. The writer tutored by Mrs. Field because _____________.A. he was too shy to talk with others.B. he found science fun but hard.C. he was eager to learn science.D. he lacked the skills of reading.13. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ____________.A. the writer knew Mrs. Field very wellB. the writer was unwilling to be tutoredC. the writer felt awkward to read in the libraryD. the writer went to the library to play a reading game14. At the library, the writer ___________.A. chose any book he was interested inB. played a reading game with Mrs. FieldC. was asked to read one chapter after anotherD. had to read textbooks rather than magazines15. What's the author's feeling about Mrs. Field according to the last paragraph？A. unsatisfiedB. worriedC. gratefulD. regretful.第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一学期期末考试高二英语试题本卷满分为120分，考试时间为100分钟第Ⅰ卷（选择题共70分）第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl going to Howard University, aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. Bu t one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to leave college to care for her. It meant that school and m y personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a mix of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To put eyes on him was wonderful and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave upon the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each term.The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to give up, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the middle of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.1. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be _____.A. a judgeB. a teacherC. a writerD. a doctor2. Why did the author give up school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her sorry feeling of her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.4. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.BCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), itis highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it isn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness be tween the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body language is just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body language, suggesting that the two may have more in common than expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.5. The underlined word “swimmingly”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. earlyB. mostlyC. quicklyD. smoothly6. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They watch each other’s behavior.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voice.7. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are not so smart as expected8. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to get along well with others.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body language.CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked（漏水）along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capab le I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.9. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirtyB. darkC. worn outD. plain-looking10. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His pastB. His agingC.His mannerD.His leaking11. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _________.A. laugh at the old oneB. feel sorry about the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardener’s kindnessDThe Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual（虚拟的） speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving，and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of sp eed breakers,” India’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India’s decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.12. According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aimsto .A. Replace all speed breakers from highways.B. Encourage essential requirements of speed breakers.C. Check speeding and careless driving on all highways.D. Remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety.13. What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?A. Speeding motorists.B. Floating 3D crossings.C. Free use of visual illusions.D. Bad application of traffic laws.14. The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .A. giving examples.B. analysin g causes.C. providing figures.D. making comparisons.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?A. subjective.B. objective.C. supportive.D. critical.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Holding a chisel (凿子) in his right hand, he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand. To carve the woodblocks, the young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio, a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing. Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper. Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day, which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao was introduced to one of the technique’s masters, Chen Yishi, in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013, where he upgraded his carving skills. With his progress, his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.“I have just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly.”4. What can we know about Zhao Yishen’s work?A. It is a flexible part-time job.B. It involves the printing work.C. It needs much effort and time.D. It includes creating characters.5. What made Zhao Yishen become a carver?A. The family influence.B. His major in college.C. The difficulty of finding a proper job.D. His interest in ancient Chinese books.6.

The popularity of woodblocks.B. A traditional block printing studio.C. A craftsman with a traditional skill.D. The development of woodblock-printed books.CIf you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool?Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer―without anyone else hearing.The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92 percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone;instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.8. Why are the questions raised in Paragraph 1?A. To ask readers for their opinions.B. To lead into the topic of the text.C. To inspire readers’ imagination.D. To show the author’s curiosity.9. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Questions.B. Computers.C. Signals.D. Devices.10. What’s the researchers’ attitude toward AlterEgo?A. Positive.B. Worried.C. Respectful.D. Unconcerned.11. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication?A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.B. People will become a good mind-reader.C. People no longer need mobile phones.D. People can communicate more smoothly.DSay “Sit” to your dog, and he’ll likely sit on the floor. But would he respond correctly if the word were spoken by a stranger, or someone with a thick accent? A new study shows he will, suggesting dogs understand spoken words in a clever and complicated way long thought unique to humans.Holly Root-Gutteridge, a biologist, and her colleagues ran a test. The researchers filmed 42 dogs of different breeds as they sat with their owners near an audio speaker that played noncommand words with similar sounds, such as “had”, “hid”, and “who’d”. The words were spoken—not by the dog’s owner—but by several strangers, men and women of different ages and with different accents.In the video above, the dog Max turns quickly and listens seriously when he hears a woman say “had” for the first time. But as other women with different accents repeat the word, he loses interest, indicating he knows they are all saying the same word. When a speaker says a new word, like “who’d”, Max cheers up again, but his attention flags when a new voice returns to saying “had”. Together, these reactions suggest dogs recognize words regardless of the speaker—and that they don’t need any training to do it, the team reports today in Biology Letters.“It’s wonderful—and novel—to see research looking at dogs’ reactions to words that are not commands or requests,” says Alexandra Horowitz, a researcher at Barnard College in New York City. Because of the nature of the test, however, the scientists cannot show that the dogs “understood” what the words meant, Horowitz points out. “But the work clearly demonstrates that dogs are listening to us,” she says, even when our speech is not about them.12. What can we learn from this study?A. Dogs can hear some simple words.B. Dogs can hear words like humans.C. Dogs cannot understand a stranger.D. Dogs know their owners’ meaning.13. What do the researchers do for the dogs in the study?A. Record their sounds.B. Record their reactions.C. Train their hearing ability.D. Train their learning ability.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The result of the study.B. A dog filmed in the study.C. An example of the research.D. Different reactions of the dogs.15. What is Horowitz’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Favorable.C. Opposed.D. Unclear.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。

On my second day I got on the first bus that passed，rode on it for several stops，then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough，then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived，and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully，nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.4. The newspaper-seller______。

really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepte d that I wasn’t the type to have a career.then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.ne Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accep ted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted fora lot and I got on a part-time course. I left my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.ow I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the cl ass at school.. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ________.. was paid for extra work. often worked long hours. got much help from her boss. took a day off every other week. Why did the author leave her first job？. She found a full-time job.. She lost patience with the children.. She decided to attend a part-time course.. She needed a rest after working extra hours.. What has the author learned from her own experiences？. One must choose the job she likes.. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.. Less succes sful students can still have a career.Bn 1905, as part of his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein published the point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E = mc2. But bombs were not what Einstein had in mind when he published this equation.In 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would "refuse to do war service, direct or indirect...." His position would change in 1933, as the result of Adolf Hitler's coming into power in Germany.Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb. Among those concerned were physicists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. But they had no influence with those in power. So in July 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: Albert Einstein. After talking with Einstein, in August 1939 Szilard wrote a letter to President Roosevelt with Einstein's signature on it, which was delivered to Roosevelt in October 1939.ermany had invaded Poland the previous month, the time was ripe for action. That October research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. In April 1940 an Einstein letter,ghost-written by Szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for "greater speed".s the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, Einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. He wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.he atomic bombings of Japan occurred three months after Germany gave in.n November 1954, five months before his death, Einstein s ummarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: "I made one great mistake in my life...when I signed the letter t o President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification---the danger that the Germans would make them?.What can we learn about Szilard and Wigner ?. They had a purpose of destroying the world.. They had cheated their friend Einstein.. They were to blame for the invention of nuclear weapons.. They were not as influential as Einstein..Einstein realized his mistake in __________.. co-operating with his workmates. signing the letter to Roosevelt. publishing his equation. inventing the atomic bomb.We can conclude that Einstein __________.. assisted with the invention of atomic bomb. directly participated in the invention of the atomic bomb. was not involved in the invention of atomic bomb at all. contributed to the invention of atomic bomb. Please decide the order of the following events according to the passage. ) Einstein's letter reached President Roosevelt.) The atomic bombs attacked Japan.) Germany invaded Poland.) Germany gave in.) The equation E = mc2 was published.) The research of a-bomb started.. e,c,a,f,d,b B. a,e,b,d,f,c C. c,e,a,f,b,d D. e,c,b,f,a,dCt was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to sur vive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture (牧场) and through some woods.he only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean bull. Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, and we believed him. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousi n Joanie along with us. Joanie was two years older than me and a head taller. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom. “Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out.n our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.e had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.. What’s the second problem the author has to face?. His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.. His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.. His mother failed to ask permission for him.. What does the author think of Elsie in the end?. Defensive. B. Unkind. C. Bad-tempered. D. Friendly.0. What’s the passage mainly about?. The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s pasture.. The story of visiting the swimming hole.. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had ne ver set foot inside a pub lic library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked.

A 篇There are no bad authors for children. Children like and want to read and seek out, because every child is different. They can find the stories they need, and they bring themselves to stories. Here are some books children should read.The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyThis book tells the story of a stranded (陷入困境的)airplane pilot, who meets an otherworldly little prince in the Sahara desert. The Little Prince is a fascinating character and the author’s watercolor illustrations are beautiful. There is an excellent pop-up(立体的)book version.At the Back of the North Wind，by George MacDonaldGeorge MacDonald has written several other lovely children’s books—The Princess and the Goblin is a must-read. But this book is perhaps his sweetest. A little boy named Diamond meets the mysterious lady North Wind one stormy night, and she brings him on many adventures through the night sky.Carry On，Mr. Bowditch, by Jean Lee LathamThis excellent book explores the world of sea travel and colonial England through its main character, Nat Bowditcli. Nat has to give up dreams of Harvard to become an indentured (受契约约束的)servant. Nonetheless, he teaches himself advanced mathematics, and grows up to become captain of his own ship.The Phantom Tollbooth，by Norman JusterIts protagonist(主角），Milo，is a bored little boy who discovers a“p hantom tollbooth”—and with it，an imaginative world in which numbers，words，music，and sounds come to life. He is given the “impossible” mission of returning two princesses to the Kingdom of Wisdom. In the process, he has learned valuable lessons, finding a love of learning. 1.Which of the following books has beautiful pictures in it?A.The Little PrinceB. At the Back of the North WindC.

A family emergency prevented her parents from being able to pick up James. So they asked Stiles to step in.“This was a one-time event; we have never had her get him from school other than this day. But it was an emergency,” her mother said. “I figured she had gone to get him and taken him home. Later that day I saw the picture online and realized that she had taken him back to school.”Little James quickly fell asleep in his big sister’s arms at the high school.She didn’t want to be counted absent or miss any work. Stiles was studying to be a n urse. She was in her class, and the teacher gladly welcomed her little brother in. He was so tired from his school that he slept most of the class. She not only helped her family out but returned to her responsibility at school.Her teacher was very supportive and didn’t mind him being in the class at all. He slept most of the time and if he had become a problem she would have taken him out. She attends an amazing school that clearly sees the value in family and education.Her mom said she can now put to rest any worries she’s had that the 14-year age gap between Stiles and James would keep them from being close. As a mom, she was thankful that they had this kind of relationship, and she prayed it would always stay this way.4.Why did Stiles’ parents as k her for help?A.Her family was in trouble.B.

Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, ＂Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.＂The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the b iologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol(白藜芦醇), a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.8.The passage is mainly for those _.A.who produce wineB. who have a drinking habitC. who go on a dietD. who are eager to lose weight 9.The underlined phrase＂in moderation＂in the first paragraph means _ .A.ExcitedlyB. carefullyC. frequentlyD. properly10.What can we learn from the passage?A.Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.B.Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.C.The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.D.The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.11.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A.How to do some easy experiments.B.How to reduce the calories contained in wine.C.How to prove the finding mentioned above.D.How to make wine in a healthy way.D 篇Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.高二英语试题第2 页（共4 页）12.Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ? smart. 19 When we first got to Finland, we were freezing. But after a couple ofA.To lead to the topic of this passage.B. To complain about imperfect life.C. To show common problems in life.D. To encourage people to change the outside world.13.How does the author prove his opinion?A.By giving examples.B. By doing an experiment.C. By telling a related story.D. By comparing other people’s opinions.14.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A.To step out of negative emotions.B.To pay attention to our internal world.C.To share our real emotions with others.D.To use different methods to change bad emotions.15.What does the author want to express through the passage?A.Our external world matters a lot.B.Our emotions can affect our health.C.Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.D.Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，共15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASuppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You are frightened and burn with shame.What to do？ Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured：don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture（i.e. incorrect order of Chinese names）.Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal（透露）to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone tocalm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.1.After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. terribleD. funny2. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. learn to write the name correctlyB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. send a short notice to everyoneD. apologize in a serious manner3. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email？A. By talking to the receiver face to face.B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By promising not to offend the receiver again.4. What is the passage mainly about？A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Improving email writing.D. Handling email accidents.BI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hatedasking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bu s wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.5. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A. she might be recognizedB. being found blind was embarrassingC. she was normal and independentD. asking for help looked silly6. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something7. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereCMonthly Talks at London Canal MuseumOur monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.
