2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷(解析版)
2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷（解析版）一、阅读理解1、阅读理解According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping p ositions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime p osition, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standin g guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and t hese people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake u p stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sl eep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themsel ves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always exp ecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the da y ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style m akes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down w ith arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, fe el like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A go od night's sleep set you up for the following day and our sleep ing positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

For the blanks with a given word, fi ll in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make su re that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are begin ning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medi cal problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But l ike so many other things, it is only too much stress（22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, yo u would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stres s, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain p oint, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, th ough, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and fin ally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） num ber of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is be ing expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all th ose questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is go od for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your l ife. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stres s is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___3 1___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importa nce on the____32___ that make each student special. The ed ucational systems in these countries show these values. Stud ents do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33_ ___and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their o wn ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the sam e language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient ___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teach ing __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized .There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the syst em in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high sch ool. They also study more hours each day and more days eac h year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is a n____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet man y students say that after an exam, they forget much of the info rmation they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, o n the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves . The system prepares them for a society that values ___39__ __ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many b asic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ou rselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to o ur beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to w hich we are willing to （41）our belief systems determi nes the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely （43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even i f you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44）to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear th at your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the c ourage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are n ot （46） would probably stop your trying．And that wo uld be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dre am．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy wo uld pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your succes s.

Safety De partment.（C）Talking to human-like devices can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU ) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human inter action when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to wri te about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but p articipants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also a sked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek o ut normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways in clude increasing their number of social media friends or enga ging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, ac cording to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at K U.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were li mits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machin e and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes a way. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious lev el.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers t o realize how these types of products could affect their social i nteraction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “Fro m that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that ca n increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal soc ial interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,”Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focu sing on developing your real personal connections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that____ ____.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce pe ople’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect” in Paragraph 7 refers t o the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with ot her people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on real social interaction. C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their current relat ionships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improve their products .Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be us ed only once. Note that there are two more sentences than yo u need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached on e billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the f act that more than one in seven people in the world do not ha ve enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year t han diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populo us continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower p opulation than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry p eople. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there ar e only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the ove r-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. M any people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up th e prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most imp ortant reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased re cently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there woul d be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few pe ople would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distri bution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen e ven more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 w ords. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happine ss. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lif e. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the futur e-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simpl e pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your fa vorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier live s.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many peop le go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their pro blems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helpin g others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someo ne. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around th e house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I.

T hese old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to l ose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This unti dy man walked up to my register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He a sked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised t o repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him.

If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I tha nked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits mysel f.

We may learn from the te_t that SueTownsend is _________.A. a writerB.an actress C. a musician D.a directorCLookon the brighter sideEVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARSis already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.But, there’s another side. SARS is a reminder of how fragile (脆弱的) life can be. Suddenly, it’s notjust the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes theremight not always be a tomorrow.Wang _inying, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shansi Province, cameinto contact (接触) with asuspected (疑似) SARSpatient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. 〝WatchingTV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be soclose. Life is valuable and I’m going to treasure every single day,〞 he said.SARS teaches people to be grateful (感激), not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors andnurses, for e_ample, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的) patients. As a result, morethan 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers._u Bing, a Senior 2 student of Beijing NO.5 Middle School wants tobe a tor when he grows up. 〝Although they certainly know of the dangers, tors and nurses remain bravely dedicated (致力于) to saving people’s lives. I’m deeply moved by what they have done.I think they are real heroes,〞 he said.SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. Butthere are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20years. Think of how the Americans felt on September 11.And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to deal with this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned greatlessons.(From21 st Century, April 28,_)51. The story of Wang _iying is given inthe passage mainly to________.A. tell us the hardship of lifeB.tell us the fragileness of lifeC. tell us thetreatment of SARS D.tell us the joy of life52. The main points discussed in thepassage is __________.A. SARS is a deadly disease.B.Chinese people are going all out to fight the diseaseC. SARS teaches us a lotD.Doctors are dedicated to saving people’s lives.53. Among the infected patients by SARS,which of the following is most?A. Students.B.Doctors and nurses. C.Workers. D.Officials.54. The writer tells us of the bright sidefor SARS in _______ ways.A. twoB.seven C.four D.fiveDOur little boy came up to his mother in thekitchen one evening while she was fi_ing supper, and handed her a piece ofpaper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron( 围裙 ), she read it, and this is whatit said:For going to the store for you ＄ 0.5.For cutting the grass in the garden ＄ 4.00.For cleaning up the yard this week ＄ 3.00.For cleaning up my room this week ＄ 2.00.For setting the table for meals this week ＄ 1.00.For baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping ＄ 1.50.For getting a good report card ＄ 5.00.Total owed( 欠 ): ＄ 17.00.Well, I’ll tell you, his mother looked at him standing there withe_pectation, and boy, I could see the memories flashing through her mind. So,she picked up the pen, turned over the paper he had written on, and this iswhat she wrote:For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me,No Charge.For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, tored you andprayed for you, No Charge.For all the trying times and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years, there’s No Charge.When you add it all up, the cost of my love is No Charge.For all the nights that were filled with fear, and for the worries I knew were ahead, No Charge.For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping up, the full cost ofreal love is No Charge, Son.Well, friends, when our son finished reading what his mother had written, there were great big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight up athis mother and said: 〝 Mom, I sure do love you. 〞 And then he took the pen andin great big letters he wrote: 〝 PAID IN FULL 〞55. What might the mother be doing when theboy came into the kitchen?A. Getting the supper ready.B.Repairing the cooker.C. Washing thedishes. D.Setting the table for supper.56. How many members in this family werementioned in the story?A. Two.B.One. C.Four. D.Three.57. According to the boy’s bill, his momowed him _______ for his helping with the housework.A. ＄ 7.50B. ＄ 10.50C.＄ 12.00 D. ＄ 16.00ESnake dishes have become popular in recentyears. Snake meat in various flavors (风味) is often seen in restaurant advertisements. It seems that eatingsnake is now in vogue (盛行), and if you haven’t eaten snake yet, you areconsidered 〝out ofdate〞. But I wonder whether all of the trends (赶时髦) are worth following.Some people may defend themselves by saying that snake meat isnutritious (营养的). Butthese people don’t realize that mice and worms (虫) often comprise (包含) a snake’s diet, therefore, there are many parasites (寄生虫) found inside snakes. Thus, theymay do harm to our health. Besides this, I’m sorry to see that more and moresnakes are being killed by man’s cruel knife. According to the English newspaper Shanghai Star, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year inChina. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day.These figures change us that if we still continue movement against snakes, a vicious( 恶性的 ) cycle will be created (产生). If more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes willdrop, which will make an increase in mice and worms population, which will result in a decrease of crop output. This will make more people hungry.Who will see such tragedy (悲剧) happen ?So let’s start not to eat snakes any morebecause 〝to protect the snakes is to protect ourselves〞.58. This passage tries to advise people_________.A. to keep ourselves healthyB.to protect snakes and not to eat themC. to protect mice and wormsD.not to eat mice and worms59. What will happen if we continue eatingsnakes?A. More snakes will be eaten.B.A vicious cycle will be created.C. More people will turn blind eyes to it.D. Mice will damage the crops.60. The vicious cycle may be like this:_______.A. more snakes → more mice and worms → less crop outputB. l ess snakes → more nice and worms → more crop outputC. less snakes → more mice and worms → less crop outputD. more snakes → less mice and worms → more crop output.试卷IIV. 单词拼写 (10小题, 每小题0.5分, 共5分)61.

AFat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team.“Football, tennis, cricket —anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the Rocky Mountains.Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2,900-kilometre journey that has never been completed on skis.21. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?A. He became good at most sports.B. He began to build up his body.C. He joined a sports team.D. He made friends with a runner.22. The underlined word “exploits” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.A. journeysB. researchesC. adventuresD. operations23. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders?a. He ran his first marathon.b. He skied alone to the North Pole.c. He rode his bike in a forest.d. He planned an adventure to the South Pole.A. acdbB. cdabC. acbdD. cabdBCyprus（塞浦路斯）has over 320 days of sunshine every year and the temperature seldom drops below 18℃ even in winter. So if it’s sunshine holidays you are after, then perhaps you should consider taking your next vacation in Cyprus.Once you arrive in Cyprus you could be forgiven for thinking that you have in fact landed back in the UK because Cyprus has often been referred to as England with the sun. Most Cypriots speak excellent English as a second language and it’s taught in all the schools even at primary level. They drive on the left and all the road signs are in English as well as Greek.There aren’t many places left in the world where you can leave your doors unlocked or walk down the streets in the dead of night but Cyprus is one of them. The Island has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe which makes it great place to live in.For people who just want to relax, Cyprus is the perfect holiday destination. With miles of sandy beaches and delightful bays, you are sure to find somewhere to calm down while you enjoy all that Cyprus sun. The Island has a rich cultural history, and if you want to see more of Cyprus while on your holiday, be sure to check out many trips that are on offer to all those places of interest.However you decide to enjoy your holiday in Cyprus and whether it’s relaxing on the beach or taking in the night life of many bars and restaurants, the Island has something for everyone. Until you experience Cyprus for yourself you can never completely understand why so many holiday makers return to her beautiful shores year after year. In fact some of those visitors have so fallen in love with her that they have bought a house of their own there.Enjoy Cyprus!24. The purpose of the passage is to________.A. explain why Cyprus is so similar to EnglandB. introduce a perfect holiday destination to readersC. recommend the best season to go to CyprusD. encourage people to travel around the world25. What can we learn about Cyprus?A. All the road signs in Cyprus are written in Greek only.B. The native language of Cyprus is English.C. It is hot in summer and cold in winter.D. It is sunny most of the time.26. It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. Cyprus is a country with good public safetyB. it is expensive to live in a country like CyprusC. Cyprus is a small country with a large populationD. the environment in Cyprus has been damaged by travelersCYou're rushing to work and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders（旁观者）, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking.“There is a inclination（倾向）to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”Time and again, good and caring people fail to help others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why”?One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see vapor（水汽）coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam or smoke?” if you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue（提示）about how to react. If you see other people are doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.Another one is known as “the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are watching an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,”says Ervin Staub.”Then try to involve other people; you don't have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.”Once you take action, most people will follow you.27. According to Ervin Staub, when accidents happen, people’s first thoughts ________.A. force them to lend a handB. prevent them from helpingC. often lead to embarrassmentD. depend on others’ reaction28. What does the underlined word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Difficult.B. Dangerous.C. Unclear.D. Unpleasant.29. The author uses “the bystander effect” to show that________.A. many people have the same ideasB. more people carry more responsibilityC. people usually think a lot before difficultiesD. people behave in the same way as most others do30. What can be the best title for the text?A. Don’t Just Stand ThereB. Stick to Your DecisionC. Think Before You leapD. It’s the Thought that Counts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。
