A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was 36 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted（用尽的）battery. Nothing could be done but 38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the 39 of the rescue team.It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41: “First of all I checked my 42 conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44. In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48. Finally, they fell dead in fearand exhaustion. According to the 49 team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing not far away.Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle 53. It seems to be a negative（消极的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great 55 in the first place. 331w四、阅读：（40分）AMany of us like cooking but never have much time for it. Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people. It has over 1,000 recipes, from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedishsmorgasbord. The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear. (They are like those in the excellent little Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.) The book has a strong plastic cover. It is easy to find your way around it too. And busy people, notice this! Mrs. Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get each dish ready.Quick Cooking has 4 parts, one for each season. This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper—and, of course, better. There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries, and most of the recipes are easy to follow. You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese, and make and unusual dish out of it. For example, there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs! Mrs Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”. The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself—or herself. But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book. I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them. For people with little spare time Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is excellent value. 240wFry’s book is ca lled Quick Cooking because ___.can cook all the dishes in it quicklyis over 1,000 recipes in itis written for people who don’t have much timetells you how to cook all kinds of food quicklypeople should notice that _____.the recipes in the book are easy to followare clear photographs and drawings in the bookbook has a strong coverare told how long each dish takes to cookpassage is most probably ____.book review noticeletter to an editor introduction on cookingcan infer from the passage that _____.Fry is good at writing books quicklymeals are planned only for beginnersar te quite a few “quick books” for busy peopleare advised to start making meals out of the cheapest materialsBSigns in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 215wis the purpose of the passageencourage us to travel across Europe.suggest that the whole world is melting into one like the EU.praise the tourism policy of the EU.introduce tourism conditions in the EU.saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected tofollow this example”, the writer means that ____.signs will be set up in Chinese in European countriesand more Europeans have a desire to know more about Chinaand more Chinese people will go to travel across Europeis now an important language in Europeto five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ___.needn’t drive a carcan use a calculator to exchange moneyfor different visas is much simplervisa is good enough for traveling in a number of countriescan be inferred from the passage that _____.increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europehas become an important language in EuropeEuro is the only money used in the EU nowis always necessary to unite many countries into oneCIt is naturally impossible for a well educated, intellectual（懂道理的）,or brave man to make money-the chief of his thoughts; it is naturally impossible for him to make his dinner—the necessary object of him. All healthy—minded people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy—minded people like making money —but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something more important than money.A good soldier for instance, mainly wished to do his fighting well. He is glad for his pay—very properly so, and justly complains when you keep him ten months without it; still his main aim of his life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.As for doctors, they like fees, no doubt — ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object（目标） of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, wishes to cure me sick, and—they are good doctors, and the choices is fairly put to them—would rather cure their patients and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men—their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second. 226wtext is mainly about ____.is not everything but no money is nothingis first but money is also importantis the chief opinion of the good people’s liveslike less work but more moneyto the text, it is ____ that a good solider will run away when a drowning man needs help but there is no money.underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means ____.patient work object of lives moneyyou are middle school teacher described in the text, what will you do if you are not paid for six monthsquarrel with the headmastergo on teaching in this schoolgive up the teaching in this school and find a teaching job in another schoolgo on teaching after getting paidDHistory is a society’s memory and forms part of people’s identity （身份）. But Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island’s history from the rest of China.By disconnecting the island’s history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.Under new guidelines（方针）to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan’s history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan’s history is the founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.“It is a political attempt by Taiwan’s leader Chen Shuibian to make their education support Taiwan’s independence,”said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan’s schools. “The new outline is too political and facts have been changed,” said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. “It will confuse students’ understanding of history.”“Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC”asked a student in Taipei. “Many famous people in history like Confucius（孔子）or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered ‘father of the ROC’for more thanhalf a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic,” he said.Many people have shown opposition to the move. “History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors,”said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. “It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations.”313wis mainly described in the passage’s government has proposed a change to their history textbooks in 2006.authorities want to separate the island from the mainland.leaders want to make their education support Taiwan’s independence.leaders try to confuse students’ understanding of history.’s the excuse for the move according to Taiwan’s governmentcut off all connections with the mainland.disconnect the island’s history from the mainland.of the Taiwanese do not welcome the textbook.create a stronger Taiwanese identity.of the following is not included in the movehistory will be taught as part of international history.founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen will be inthe new international history book.Yat-sen will be considered ‘father of the ROC’.famous people in history like Confucius or Sun Yat-sen will be thought ofas foreigners.of the following doesn’t show the correct relation between the man andthe opinion’s spokesman: It is an attempt to make their education support Taiwan’sindependence.in Taipei: The new outline will throw light on students’understanding of history.student in Taipei: It’s ridiculous.of Kuomintang Party: The relation between the island and the mainland will become tense.EEvery year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “We’re gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says.First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor（水蒸气）cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October. 285wto the passage, hurricanes usually ____.off the coast of Africa and Americaat 40 milies per hour and get its namesea winds to rise and blow over the seaparts of the world in summer and autumnunderlined word “evaporates”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “____”.to move lost hot into gasof the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct orderocean water evaporates and goes into the air.creates energy and cuases winds to increase.vaport cools.ocean water is warm enough.vapor changes back into liquid.course gives out heat., d, e, b, c, f , b, c, f, d, e , a, c, e, f, b , a, b, c, e, fto the passage, the speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches ____.miles per hour miles per hourmiles per hour miles per hour高二英语试题答卷一、听力（30分）二、单项（15分）三、完形（30分）四、阅读（40分）21. ________ 36. ________ 56. ________ 2. ________ 22. ________ 37. ________ 57. ________3. ________ 23. ________ 38. ________ 58. ________4. ________ 24. ________ 39. ________ 59. ________5. ________ 25. ________ 40. ________ 60. ________6. ________ 26. ________ 41. ________ 61. ________7. ________ 27. ________ 42. ________ 62. ________8. ________ 28. ________ 43. ________ 63. ________9. ________ 29. ________ 44. ________ 64. ________10. ________ 30. ________ 45. ________ 65. ________11. ________ 31. ________ 46. ________ 66. ________12. ________ 32. ________ 47. ________ 67. ________13. ________ 33. ________ 48. ________ 68. ________14. ________ 34. ________ 49. ________ 69. ________15. ________ 35. ________ 50. ________ 70. ________16. ________ 51. ________ 71. ________17. ________ 52. ________ 72. ________18. ________ 53. ________19. ________ 54. ________ 74. ________20. ________ 55. ________ 75. ________五、改错（10分）They were marching towards a building thenthey suddenly realized what the officer hadn’t left 77._____________him enough time to give the order to turn round 78. _____________and to stop.
