Snowzilla reappeared before dawn Tuesday, two days before 2011 Christmas.For the last three years, Snowzilla —to the delight of some and the disagreement of others —has been a very popular attraction in Powers’ yard. In 2008, Snowzilla rose 16 feet. He had a corncob pipe (玉米穗轴烟斗) and a carrot nose and two eyes made out of beer bottles. This year, Snowzilla is about 25 feet tall. He’s wearing a black stovepipe hat (礼帽) and a scarf.Snowzilla has been rising outside Powers’ home. His children — he is the father of seven —collected snow from neighbors’ yards to make the snowman big enough. Each year, Snowzilla got a bit bigger.Not everybody in the neighborhood liked all the cars and visitors who came to see him. City officials thought Snowzilla to be a public nuisance (滋扰行为) and potential danger. The city put up a public notice on Powers’ door. City officials said Snowzilla increased traffic to the point of endangerment and that the snowman itself was unsafe.The mayor’s office on Tuesday issued a statement defending its move against Snowzilla.“He has repeatedly ignored city e fforts to find ways to cater for his desire to build a giant snowman without taking the quiet life quality of the neighborhood into consideration,” said an official from Mayor Mark Begich’s office. “This is a neighborhood of small homes on small streets. It can’t support so heavy traffic and visitors that are interested in Snowzilla.”The city said it did not expect to take any further action until after Christmas.36. Who most probably built the giant snowman in Billy Powers’ front yard this year?A. Powers’ friends.B. Some officials.C. Powers’ neighbors.D. Powers and his children.37. When did Snowzilla begin to attract tourists?A. In 2008.B. In 2009.C. In 2010.D. In 2011.38. What’s the purpose of the city’s ban?A. To prevent cars entering the city.B. To prevent road accidents happening.C. To ensure the ease of local people’s life.D. To ensure the safety of Powers’ children.39. Which of the following is NOT caused by Snowzilla?A. The heavy traffic.B. Powers’ desire for giant snowmen.C. The neighbors’ complaining.D. The public notice on Powers’ door.40. What can be expected to happen?A. Snowzilla will disappear after Christmas.B. Powers will move away from his neighborhood.C. Powers will be sent to prison after Christmas.D. Tourists will be charged higher after Christmas.BThe Necklace is a short story by Guy de Maupassant. It tells the story of Madame Mathilde Loisel and her husband Charles. Mathilde always imagines herself in a high social position with wonderful jewels. However, she has nothing and marries a low-paid clerk who tries his best to make her happy.Through lots of begging at work, Charles is able to get two invitations to the Ministry of Public Instruction Party. Mathilde refuses to go, for she has nothing to wear. Her husband is upset to see her sadness. Using money that he saved to buy a rifle, he gives Mathilde 400 francs and asks his wife to buy a dress that suits her. Mathilde goes out and buys a dress. However, even with the clothes, Mathilde is still not happy as she has no jewels to wear with it. The couple does not have much money left, so her husband suggests Mathilde borrow something from her friend, Madame Jeanne Forestier. Mathilde picks out the fanciest diamond necklace that she can find. After attending the Ministry of Public Instruction Party, Mathilde discovers that she has lost the necklace.Mathilde and her husband forage everywhere, but the necklace is not to be found. So they have to take out loans from generous friends to buy a diamond necklace that looks just like the one that was lost. It takes them ten years of hard labor to pay the loans back. Towards the end, Mathilde takes a walk, recalling her past and the night when the necklace was lost. Suddenly, she comes across Madame Jeanne Forestier. Mathilde confesses (坦白) about that night and how she worked so hard to return her necklace. Madame Jeanne Forestier, deeply moved, tells Mathilde that the one she borrowed was not made of real diamonds, and that it was worth at most 500 francs.41. What can we learn about Madame Mathilde Loisel from the passage?A. She has no job and lives a poor life.B. She used to be in a high social position.C. She used to have a lot of wonderful jewels.D. She marries a man who doesn’t have much money.42. Why doesn’t Madame Mathilde Loisel want to go to the party at first?A. Because she doesn’t have anything nice to wear.B. Because she doesn’t want to use up her husband’s money.C. Because she doesn’t want to borrow jewels from her friend.D. Because she doesn’t want to embarrass her husband in public.43. What does the underlined word “forage” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Worry.B. Decorate.C. Search.D. Appear.44. What does the couple decide to do after failing to find the necklace?A. Pay its owner a big sum of money.B. Have it replaced without telling its owner.C. Borrow another necklace from a rich friend.D. Tell its owner the truth and ask for a solution.45. We can infer from the passage that .A. Mathilde is very proud of her hard laborB. the couple regrets returning the necklaceC. Mathilde buys a fake necklace for her friendD. the couple didn’t know they lost a fake necklaceCThe skier’s part of this story is set on an autumn morning in 1989, when she was in kindergarten. Julia Mancuso would someday be on two Olympic teams or probably more. On Wednesday she will race in the Olympic downhill in the mountain village of San Sicario outside Turin. She is fit and tough and she has a very real chance to win a medal.But on that day, 17 years ago, she was just a little girl in bed when her mom, Andrea, woke her up and said, “You don’t have to go to school today. We’re going to go out to breakfast and then come back later, OK?”Julia saw her beautiful house surrounded by police cars. “I didn’t know then what was going on,” Julia recalls. “I just said, ’OK, Mom.’” That was the day the police took her father away and put him in jail for smuggling (走私). The father’s part of this sto ry is set in the village square of the Alpine resort of Sestriere, Italy. Ciro Mancuso, 57, with a full head of gray hair, has come to Italy to watch his daughter ski in the Olympic Games. “This is about Julia, right?” he asks. Yes, it is about Julia. She has seen her father go to jail twice, one for 17 months when she was a child and the other for four years while she was a teenager. Julia has lived with her mother whom she lovingly calls “a great mom who did a great job with us”. (Ciro and Andrea Mancuso had three daughters —Julia is in the middle between April, 25, and Sarah, 16 — and divorced in 1992; Andrea will also be in Italy to watch her daughter ski.) As a young adult, Julia has welcomed her father back. CiroMancuso says, “Everything that happene d to Julia made her tougher; you see it in the way she competes.”46. The underlined phrase “in jail” in the third paragraph probably means .A. on businessB. on holidayC. in personD. in prison47. What can we learn about Julia’s mother according to the passage?A. She once was a teacher in a kindergarten.B. She strongly disagreed with Julia’s skiing at first.C. She took great care of her children when her husband was in jail.D. She asked for a divorce immediately after her husband was put in jail.48. Ciro Mancuso came to Italy because he wanted to .A. win a medal in the OlympicsB. travel for pleasureC. watch his daughter skiD. look for a good job49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Julia is older than Sarah.B. Julia is seventeen years old now.C. Julia hates her father very much.D. Julia won a medal at the last Olympics.50. From Julia’s success we can infer that .A. every successful person has a strong-minded momB. the divorce of her parents is acceptableC. a difficult childhood helped Julia make herself tougherD. the crime of her father resulted in Julia’s successDWill there be a tim e in our lives when cars don’t crash? When we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves. Auto technology experts say “yes”. And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think.They will require the users to input the name of the destination or the complete address of the l ocation that they want to go and the cars’ artificial intelligence takes them there automatically without a driver. They will run on solar power in the daytime and ethanol fuel (乙醇燃料) at night. Toyota, BMW and Honda will completely control the trade of driverless car business together and will have the cheapest driverless cars. Fossil fuels (矿物燃料) will be completely incompatible (不相配的) with these cars.Driverless cars will not require a driver’s license of any grade to operate. Anyone with basic literacy and computer skills who are at least 16 years of age will be legally allowed to operate the vehicle with absolutely no restrictions. This would give the young users permission to operate the driverless cars on major highways as well as secondary roads without needing a separate classification. In addition to all this, drunken people will be able to use their own automobiles to return home because they are not “driving” the vehicle.What’s more, car insurance will become obsolete because there will be no more automobile accidents after the year 2025. This is because the driverless car will have all safety methods in place by the car’s artificial intelligence to prevent automobile accidents. Global positioning systems will become mandatory (强制的) in allnewly-manufactured cars after 2010, and will be the most important part in the driverless car.51. We can infer from the second paragraph that driverless cars .A. will need fewer fossil fuelsB. will be environmentally friendlyC. will run on solar power onlyD. will not need a human’s instructions52. Who will not be able to use driverless cars?A. People with basic literacy and computer skills.B. People who are drunk.C. People without computer skills.D. People without a driver’s license.53. What will prevent the driverless car from crashing?A. Artificial intelligence.B. Global positioning systems.C. The people inside.D. Car insurance.54. What is the text mainly about?A. Car safety.B. Driverless cars.C. The future cars.D. New technology in cars.55. The underlined word “obsolete” in the last paragraph probably means “”.A. difficult to getB. quite importantC. dangerousD. out of business第三部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

On Tuesday 29 MayBI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both camefrom a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.4.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended s omeone else.5.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They have similar characteristic.6.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats,four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal A viation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower thanthose pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the governm ent’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist Fl ightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ,it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it was n’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.13. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.14.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary15.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were mo re imaginative.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。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校天全中学2015—2016学年下期高二第1周周考英语试题(满分100分时间40分钟)成绩:第一节:阅读理解(11*4=44分)ADifferent people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know—the language of the body.All over the world, people“talk” with their hands, with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do? Americans are more informal(不拘小节) than the British: They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved (拘谨的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says,“Hello.” Men do not kiss each other,or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.1.Which of the following is RIGHT?A. Different countries have the same body language.B. Different countries have different body languages.C. People in Asia share the same body language.D. Many people only use their body language.2.If an American friend visits you,he probably ________.A. sits straightB. never sits downC. makes fun of youD. sits freely and comfortably3.If you want to make a British friend, you may feel it ________.A. impossible B. too easyC. too difficult D. slowBThomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents(专利)on inventions than another American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power could be shut off in homes, streets, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his invention meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion.

Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.__2__ When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; when you get success, people will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong,people around you will help you; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy. __3__If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. __4__ When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly that you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. __5__ If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.A.All these are your happiness.B.Without money, we can live a happy life.C.Happiness is for everyone.D.She has no chance to go to school.E.It is a feeling of your heart.F.You are happy when you help a helpless man.G.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.第三节语法填空(共10小题;每小题 2分,满分20分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语下学期周练试题(1)(1部)第一节、阅读理解(共10个小题;每小题2分,满分20分)Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo " Nice Ride"-the name of the city's bike-share program.Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike ,you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business ,or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets ,pump air into flat tires ,and hit the road.Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide , a greenhouse gas linked to climate change , is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tail pipe.Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourn , Australia.The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian- only passages called green ways.1. If one wants to use the bike ,it's a must to _____.A. give away a bicycleB. know Nice Ride wellC. pay the cost in advanceD. get a membership card2. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?A. Earn a living.B. Enjoy bikeways.C. Compete in a race.D. Rent them out to others.3. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______ .A. benefits ofbiking B.pollution caused by carsC. methods to use the bikesD. ways to reduce pollution4. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?A. It will take the place of taxi companies.B. China has better public bike systems.C. It attracts more people to choose biking.D. The government lacks money to support it.5. The author's purpose in writing this text is to ______.A. raise money for bike-share programsB. seek advice for Nice RideC. compare Nice Ride with librariesD. introduce the public bike systemBMy friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dressing code-dark blue shirts and pants.On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford."Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because he couldn't afford the clothes.I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn't return them---a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job."My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the clothes," he told Robert. "It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!"More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.6. If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.A. be punishedB. be offered another jobC. put off thetraining class D. lose his job7. The money which was spent buying the clothes belonged to _____.A. the trainer'sB. the older man'sC. thewriter's D. Robert's8. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he didn’t takethem.B. He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself.C. He told the older gentleman that he could save money and return itlater.D. He told the older gentleman that he had no way to send them back.9. Why didn’t the older gentleman wear the right clothes as required by the trainer?A. He didn’t care about the job opportunity.B. He was too fat to find the right size for himselfC. He didn’t have enough money to buy proper clothesD. He hadn’t been told about it10. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Proper Clothes for a StrangerB. Fight Against Strict RulesC. A Strange EmployerD. The Importance of Dressing第二节.“七选五”型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Based on a study in 40 countries over 23 years, a group of researchers found that if the basic needs are covered, wealth does not lead to more happiness. They explained that with an increasing income, demands and expectations are rising as well.In Germany, for example, real income rose from 20, 000 euros in the 1980s to today's 34,000 euros, without an exact rise on happiness. My mother was born in the 1950s. She worked in a factory for more than 20 years without annual holidays for an income of 1, 500 yuan per month.11 It’s unthinkable today for most of the young people in China. Eve n if wealth is rising in China, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be happier. So what can we do to contribute to our happiness?Set meaningful goals for yourself. Take a good long look at your life, your values, and the person you want to be. Set goals that are meaningful to you. 12Face the world around you openly with a smile and in a good mood. A great way to train your brain to be happier is to actively acknowledge the beauty of small moments and turn them into memorable “experiences.” Notice a gorgeous sunny day or a compliment from a friend, then take a photo, write a journal or Facebook entry or make a short video.13 Researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends and found those who had similar interests were more satisfied with their lives.Stay close to family. We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. Why is it so?14 But in fact our relationships with family members have a far greaterimpact on happiness.Look for the positive in all your experiences. It works like an echo:you get back what you send. 15 There’s always something we can worry about, but with the positive attitude “I will make it” you have made the first step.A. But she felt happy and contented.B. Make friends with those who share similar interests.C. We should smile to friends who are ready to help others.D. It isn’t important for people to do things in a positive way.E. We do this because we think salary increases make us happier.F. To be positive can help you experience more positive things.G. Research suggests you’re more likely to achieve these goals and feel happier having done so.第三节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)Some tough but useful lessons we face are from our failures.

2021-2022年高二英语下学期周练试题(I)

2021-2022年高二英语下学期周练试题(I)一、阅读理解For many people, being on the job might just sound like a picnic pared to a day at home filled with housework, meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life, home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work pared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased petence means les s stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’vebeen doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and a ccumulates quickly. “That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to “leave work stress at the office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”?A. stressful.B. cheerful.C. worthwhile.D. rewarding. 2.What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A. Men felt better at home.B. Women felt they had less time.C. Women were easier to feel happier.D. Most people felt more stress at home.3.What do most people think of work at office?A. It is petitive.B. It improves ability.C. It can’t relieve stress.D. It doesn’t always pay off. 4.According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A. Our attitude.B. Our mind-set.C. Our home life.D. Our working style.It’s an ordinary morning,like all the others.But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee,light entering your room as the curtains open automatically,and a gentle back massage(按摩)provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now,according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s temperature, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toeon a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central puter system will suggest a list of chores(家务事) that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s uping birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的) world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud, a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.5.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on puters.C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives. 6.According to the text, in two decades, ________.A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation7.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of. When we know somewhere well,we say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节) were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger. Sense of position“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight, or not” he s aid. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information es from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain has maps — maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” sai d Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “Our brains ‘see’ areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” saidLongo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lots of nerves. Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.8.Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C. People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory9.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands. 10.We can learn from the article that ________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body workD. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position11.We can infer from the article that ________.A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect二、完形填空When my sister Diane began playing the violin, she was seven.

The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 34. We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life. 35. And your life bees more convenient or fortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn’t necessary to win to enjoy the game.

Luckily, new research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted(抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers(地下蓄⽔层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern of pumping out water from this deep is the gradual settling down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is compacted(压实) by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in this coastal state. Some desalination factories exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some wells may even need to undergo desalination after extraction, thus increasing the cost. The result of a thorough study of groundwater from over 950 drilling logs has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves in the state now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.21. How could California’s drought prob lem be solved according to some researchers?A. By building more reserves of groundwater.B. By drawing water from the depths of the earth.C. By developing more advanced drilling machines.D. By improving its water distribution system.22. What is mentioned as a consequence of pumping water from deep underground?A. The sinking of land surface.B. The harm to the ecosystem.C.The damage to aquifers.D. The change of the climate. 23. What does the author say about deep wells? A. They run without any need for repairs. B. They are the final solution to droughts. C. They are entirely free from pollution. D. They provide a steady supply of freshwater. . B⾼⼆下开学初周测-第1页(共10页) 1英语试题-第2页(共10页)In one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was. There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helpingothers,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his income on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead. 24.James chose to retire in order to .A.take care of the injured passengers. B.find a better job to increase his income.C.spare more time and energy to help others. D.stay away from the difficult official duties. 25.James’ wife left because.A.she was strongly against his deeds. B.James paid too little attention to his work.C.her work to support their daily life was too tiring..D.James failed to keep a balance between charity and home.26.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A.His decision to retire B.The departure of his wifeC.The argument with his wife D.His devotion to helping others27. What is possibly the reason why James sat by the window every day?A. He expected his wife to return.B. He looked forward to going out.C. He desired to watch the students.D. He attempted to know the outside lifeCA growing number of smaller companies are adopting a four day workweek. Now the results of a recent trial at Microsoft suggest it could work even for the biggest businesses.The company introduced a program this summer in Japan called the "Work Life Choice Challenge", which shut down its offices every Friday in August and gave all employees an extra day off each week. The results were promising: while the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivity—measured by sales per employee went up by almost 40% compared to the same period of the previous year, the company said in a statement last week.In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails. They suggested that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app.The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsoft's 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company. By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.Japan has long battled with a cruel--and in some cases, deadly--culture of overwork. The problem is so severe that the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi death by overwork from stress-induced illnesses or severe depression.The issue attracted international attention in 2015, when an employee at Japanese advertising giant Dentsu committed suicide on Christmas Day. Tokyo officials later said that the staff had worked excessive amounts of overtime. Two years later, a reporter at a Japanese broadcaster died after working punishing long hours. Her employer said she had clocked in 159 hours of overtime the month before her death.That has led businesses to start searching for solutions. Sonic companies have begun offering employees more flexibility, and the government has launched a campaign called "Premium Friday", which encourages workers to leave early every last Friday of the month.28. Microsoft introduced the "Work Life Choice Challenge" program this summer by .A. holding a long-distance meeting every Friday.B. giving three days off to its employees every week.C. shutting down its office areas every weekend.D. organizing a corporate tour every week.29. What is the result of adopting a four-day workweek?A. It is a waste of energy.B. The workers earned less money.C. The working efficiency increases greatly.D. Japan’s unemployment rate is rising.30. How can the time the staff spent on meetings be reduced?A. By canceling meeting.B. By using emails to respond.C. By cutting down working hours.D. By using a certain online messaging app.31. What is the staff’s attitude to the new measures?A. supportive.B. negativeC. criticalD. indifferentDAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices — to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. But the option of walking away and calming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are some other constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down if you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you are angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is all right, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. For example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to close friends to pour out your rage (愤怒). If you do not⾼⼆下开学初周测-第3页(共10页) 英语试题-第4页(共10页)2acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano.Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves ― What made me angry? When you get the answer, and then ask yourself ― Why did that made me angry? Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move towards a sensible solution.32. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is to ________.A. provide an exampleB. make a comparisonC. introduce a new statementD. develop a previous statement33. If people face anger, ________.A. they know how to manage itB. it is often quite hard to get awayC. they can only choose to fight or to runD. they believe running means being a coward34. It can be inferred from Para. 3 and 4 that ________.A. one can handle anger by oneself or in groupsB. the first step of handling anger is to calm downC. a person may handle anger by asking random questionsD. acknowledging anger will do harm to a person’s health35. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell readers what anger isB. to explain why anger is hard to controlC. to show the importance of handling angerD. to offer tips on handling anger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。

One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly pollutin g the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by carb on dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That mean s keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.36. Hundreds of years ago, the pollution was _________it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. as hard asD. much less than37. Our world is becoming much smaller_________.A. because the earth is being polluted day and nightB. because science is developingC. because of the rise in populationD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year38. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because_________.A. it does harm to all living things in the worldB. it makes much noiseC. it makes our rivers and lakes dirtyD. it makes us angry more easily39. Which of the following is NOT the possible way to reduce air pollution?A. Stop people from burning coal in the houses and factories in the cityB. Stop putting dirty smoke into the airC. Encourage people to go to work by bike or on foot instead of driving a carD. Don’t throw rubbish into the river.40. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.B. The pollution o f the earth grows as fast as the world’s population does.C. If people could go to work by bike ,it would be helpful against the problem of carbon dioxide.D. Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution.BMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads,”which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽).They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones”.There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driv ing over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph,but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,”wrote one Japanese blogger.“Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph[20km/h]has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”41. According to the passage, melody roads use to create different notes.A. carsB. groovesC. spaces between intervalsD. bulldozers42. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on .A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car43.The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean .A. fastestB. possibleC. bestD. suitable44.In order to hear the music well, you have to .A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed45.What’s the best title of the passage?A. A New Type of MusicB. Melody Roads in JapanC. A Musical Road SurfaceD. A New Invention in JCCrossroads International1. How does Crossroads work?Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. 462. Who do we help?47 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They se nd us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.3. 48Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. 49 Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.Those that donate goods and services:●Factories●Manufacturers●Hospitals●Hotels●Educational Institutions●Householders●Transport Compani es ●Offices●Other Charities50 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.A. One resource that we are always in need of is people.B. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.C. What can I do?D. The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.E. How do we operate?F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.G. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transportcompanies to donate their services.四、短文改错(共10小题, 每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌的以下作文。

江西省樟树市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期周练试题(1)(一部)第一节、阅读理解(共10个小题;每小题2分,满分20分)Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo " Nice Ride"-the name of the city's bike-share program.Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike ,you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business ,or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choosebiking over driving. Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets ,pump air into flat tires ,and hit the road.Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also reducesthe amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide , a greenhouse gas linked to climate change , is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tail pipe.Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourn , Australia. The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian- only passages called green ways.1. If one wants to use the bike ,it's a must to _____.A. give away a bicycleB. know Nice Ride wellC. pay the cost in advanceD. get a membership card2. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?A. Earn a living.B. Enjoy bikeways.C. Compete in a race.D. Rent them out to others.3. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______ .A. benefits of bikingB. pollution caused by carsC. methods to use the bikesD. ways to reduce pollution4. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?A. It will take the place of taxi companies.B. China has better public bike systems.C. It attracts more people to choose biking.D. The government lacks money to support it.5. The author's purpose in writing this text is to ______.A. raise money for bike-share programsB. seek advice for Nice RideC. compare Nice Ride with librariesD. introduce the public bike systemBMy friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dressing code-dark blue shirts and pants.On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford."Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because he couldn't afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn't return them---a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job."My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the clothes," he told Robert.

A Strange EmployerD. The Importance of Dressing第二节.“七选五”型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Based on a study in 40 countries over 23 years, a group of researchers found that if the basic needs are covered, wealth does not lead to more happiness. They explained that with an increasing income, demands and expectations are rising as well.In Germany, for example, real income rose from 20, 000 euros in the 1980s to today's 34,000 euros, without an exact rise on happiness. My mother was born in the 1950s. She worked in a factory for more than 20 years without annual holidays for an income of 1, 500 yuan per month.11It’s unthinkable today for most of the young people in China. Even if wealth is rising in China, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be happier. So what can we do to contribute to our happiness?Set meaningful goals for yourself. Take a good long look at your life, your values, and the person you want to be. Set goals that are meaningful to you. 12 Face the world around you openly with a smile and in a good mood. A great way to train your brain to be happier is to actively acknowledge the beauty of small moments and turn them into memorable “experiences.”Notice a gorgeous sunny day or a compliment from a friend, then take a photo, write a journal or Facebook entry or make a short video.13 Researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends and found those who had similar interests were more satisfied with their lives.Stay close to family. We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. Why is it so? 14 But in fact our relationships with family members have a far greater impact on happiness.Look for the positive in all your experiences. It works like an echo:you get back what you send. 15There’s always something we can worry about, but with the positive attitude “I will make it” you have made the first step.A. But she felt happy and contented.B. Make friends with those who share similar interests.C. We should smile to friends who are ready to help others.D. It isn’t important for people to do things in a positive way.E. We do this because we think salary increases make us happier.F. To be positive can help you experience more positive things.G. Research suggests you’re more likely to achieve these goals and feel happier having done so.第三节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)Some tough but useful lessons we face are from our failures.

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语下学期周练试题(承智班,含解析)一、阅读理解A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.Two weeks later, the businessman returns, and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, “We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is that why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”Laughing, the businessman replies, “Where else in San Franci sco can I park my car for two weeks for $15?”1.The businessman walks into the bank with the true purpose of _________.A.borrowing $5,000 B.meeting the loan officerC.finding a place to park his car D.showing how richhe is2.The loan officer is puzzled because _________.A.he never thought he could meet a multimillionaire in his bank B.he thinks the businessman is crazy to leave his car in the bank C.he never thought the businessman could drive a Rolls RoyceD.he thinks $5,000 is so small a sum of money to the businessman 3.The underlined word “collateral” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_________”.A.security B.payment C.reward D.deal4.Which of the following words can best describe the businessman according to the story?A.Honest. B.Clever. C.Rich. D.Kind. ARLANDA, Sweden (Reuters Life!)—Many people hate the idea of havingto sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they canbe persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.Dios says it is the world’s first jumbo (unusually large) jet hostel,an actual jet-plane at Sweden’s main airport outside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25- room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.“I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlandaairport and I’ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told Reuters. “I thou ght, ‘Why not a plane?’”Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable.”“The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull(壳)– it’s just really, really tight.”The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.One feature of the hostel is its price – a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41), which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the plane’s more luxurious honeymoon suite (套房). Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk,” where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.But in some respects this hostel remains a plane – most customers have to share the jet’s nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.5. Which of the following is not true?A. The jet plane was out of use for over eight yearsB. The hostel provides ten bathrooms for customersC. The rooms in the hotel are comfortableD. The hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm6. One of the features of the plane hostel is that .A. air hostesses can offer good serviceB. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wingC. customers can sleep in comfortable roomsD. the staff can have a “wing walk”7. Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?A. Because he is fond of plane very much.B. Because he is very curiousC. Because he wants to earn more money.D. Because he likes trying th e concept of hotel in many different things. 8. The writer mainly wants to .A. call on people to make use of the deserted thingsB. describe a wonderful place for weddingsC. introduce a new kind of hostelD. prove people can sleep on a planePlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if therewere no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽)。

市鸽悉学校高二英语下学期第一周周考试题高二全册英语试题

盘船州斜盒市鸽悉学校第三十三中学高二年级英语周考题第一部分:阅读理解AWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memory.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on---in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic conditional human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.1. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _______.A. diseases and agingB. accidents and warC. accidents and agingD. heart diseases and war2. In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in _____.A. medicineB. the internetC. brain cellsD. human organs3. Humans may live longer in the future because ______.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine4. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. human have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells.BThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器)and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least untilshortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.5. We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five6. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.A. would expect to work until she diedB. was usually expected to take up paid employmentC. would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely7. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby8. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school七选五All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, andto live longer.9 They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excitedwhen their player or team wins10 . Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countriesnear the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whetherin China, Egypt or Italy! _11___ Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one isa hundred years old yet. _12___. Water—skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a gametogether they often become good friends. ___13____. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, towin without pride and to lose with grace. (胜不骄,败不馁)A. And think of people in cold countries.B. Sports help to train a person’s character (性格).C. Not a few people like sports in the word.D. Many people like to watch others play games.E. People aren’t inventing new sports or games.F. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere take part in them.G. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

河北定州2016-2017学年第二学期高二英语周练试题(1)一、阅读理解1.Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”. Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元)in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transportin g important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.【小题1】What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Complex Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society【小题2】In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .A. depend on each otherB. protect their own wealthC. compete for survivalD. provide support for dying trees【小题3】We can learn from the passage thatA. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected. 【小题4】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. how trees grow oldB. how “tree societies” workC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees surviveEnglish, as we all know, is considered as the universal language. It is spoken all over the world. However, you will also notice that people all over the world are using different types of English. Let’s take a closer look at these two popular types: UK and US English. Even if both types of English are wildly used, there are some differences that will be worth knowing to find out the type of English that you are using.US English is what we know as the American English which is wildly used in the United States. UK English, on the other hand, is known as the British English. Some also call it the BBC English since it is the English used by British reporters, and another name for it is the Qu een’s English.In terms of vocabulary, some words in US English may mean something different in the UK English. For example, the word biscuit for the British means baked sweet or salty cake that is hard when baked and softened over time; while in the US it is a quick bread served with salty foods.With regards to pronunciation, American English is more nasal (鼻音的). Stress (重音) is also another difference to consider. Just like in the word princess, British stress the second syllable (音节) while Americans stress the first.Spelling is another area of difference. American English spelling is more simple. Exampleof which includes, color for the US and colour for the UK, same goes with honor and honour. The doubling of letters in words is another good example. It will be traveler in the US and traveller in the UK. The use of “-og” instead of “-ogue” in word such as dialog and dialogue or catalog and catalogue.2.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Similarity between US English and UK EnglishB.Difference between US English and UK EnglishC.The future of US English and UK EnglishD.The history of US and UK English3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to according to Paragraph 2?A The British English.B The American English.C The BBC.D The Queen of UK.4.he word biscuit in UK English refers to the cake which may be finally.A.sweet and hardB.salty and sweetC.hard and saltyD.salty and soft5.Which of the following may belong to UK English?A. Color.B. Traveler.C. Dialog.D. Catalogue.Many people earn their living with their hands. Ed earns his living with his feet!
