外研版高二上期末英语试卷1(附答案及详细解析)
外研版高二(上)期末英语试卷第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分25.0分)第一节(共3小题;每小题2.5分,满分25.0分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.1.(7.5分)I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines (疫苗) cause brain damage,and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣蛋的) behavior? Late for school? None of them. I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office. The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen. After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons,cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.I did something every person should do. It wasn't special in any way. Vaccines protect the health andsafety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition.(1)Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year?A. He was late for school.B. He didn't behave himself at school.C. He couldn't hand in his term paper on time.D. He was hardly ever vaccinated.(2)How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?A. Annoyed.B. Grateful.C. Thrilled.D. Guilty.(3)What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story?A. Listening to your mother pays off.B. Doing the right thing matters.C. Keeping fit is the best policy.D. Asking for advice helps.2.(10分)When did you last buy something?Maybe you are looking forward to a shopping trip at the weekend, but will it make you happy? In the short term, the answer might be yes. However, some people think it might not be good for our health and happiness in the long term.One of the busiest shopping days of the year in the USA is Black Friday (the fourth Friday of November),which has spread around the world. However, not everyone will be queuing for a bargain. In 1992,Buy Nothing Day started in Canada and now more than sixty countries take part. Their message is simple:"Participate by not participating." For twenty﹣four hours on the fourth Friday of November, people do not buy anything at all. Some people choose to spend time with friends and family instead. Others join protests. But what's the point?Every single purchase that you make has some kind of an effect on the planet. Making the products and transporting them to the shops use a lot of natural resources. When they are no longer in fashion, the products will end up in the dustbin. All this contributes to air and water pollution, the destruction of our environment and social inequality.The social influence of our spending habits is also serious. People in consumerist culture are more likely to suffer from financial problems and stress. In order to buy expensive products, people work long hours and therefore spend less time with family and friends.Critics of Buy Nothing Day say it's meaningless because people will just buy more the following day. But the organizers argue that Buy Nothing Day makes people think about the consequences of consumption and maybe make some changes to their life style.(1)Why is the question "When did you last buy something?" asked?A. To remind us of the approaching of Black Friday.B. To attach importance to our health and happiness.C. To introduce the topic of shopping too much.D. To encourage us to participate in Buy Nothing Day.(2)How can people participate in Buy Nothing Day?A. By not participating in any advertisement for Black Friday.B. By not buying anything on four Fridays of November.C. By spending time shopping with friends and family.D. By not going shopping on Black Friday.(3)What's NOT the point of Buy Nothing Day?A. Saving time spent on working.B. Saving the environment and our earth.C. Saving money for charity.D. Saving our relationship with friends and family.(4)What's the organizers' opinion on Buy Nothing Day?A. It can make a difference in some way.B. It won't have a lasting effect.C. It can help people choose goods more reasonably.D. It can cure people's shopping addiction.3.(7.5分)Of all the places stray (流浪的)cats can live in Beijing,perhaps none provides greater companionship than an underground facility known as the "Cat Shed". A variety of cats are spread across the shed's 100 square meters. They jump and play on toy towers or rest on cotton blankets on iron﹣framed beds.Since the facility was established in 2012, some 150 cats have lived there. More than 100 volunteers attend to the strays. Many claim that they gain greater benefit from the interaction than the cats, because the animals offer not just companionship, but also a kind of healing.The "housekeeper" is Yin Yi, a doctoral candidate at the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute in Beijing. When the 29﹣year﹣old arrived in the capital in late 2015, he faced huge pressure from his studies and personal relationships, while the alien environment exacerbated his feeling of loneliness. After gaining a master's from a university in Inner Mongolia, Yin relocated to go for a doctorate in material sciences. Accustomed to having friends around, he was not used to a lonely life, especially working by himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days. To improve his mood, he decided to contact animal bases, looking for opportunities to care for stray cats. When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking for volunteers, he contacted Wu Xinhua, who organizes activities at the Cat Shed, and was soon surrounded by furry friends. His favorite moment is when he dishes out food and a dozen strays gather round, with several rubbing against his feet. When he graduates, Yinplans to house three strays in his apartment.(1)What does the underlined word "exacerbated" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. WorsenedB. ImprovedC. ReplacedD. Touched(2)What can we learn about the Cat Shed?A. Yin Yi has rented the basement and provided facilities for the Cat Shed.B. The Cat Shed is a relaxing and warm place for volunteers.C. Wu Xinhua raises money to run the Cat Shed.D. The Cat Shed only allows volunteers to adopt cats there.(3)What is the best title for the text?A. Stray cats enjoy themselves at the Cat ShedB. Volunteers make stray cats live a better lifeC. "Stray" youngsters in Beijing need healingD. Furry friends promote stress﹣free lives第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.4.(10分)Eyesight is the sense that you rely upon the most.

The flag tells something about the country and its culture. This may be about its land, its history, or the things that the people do there.Many flags have patterns of stripes (条纹). The flag of Italy has a green stripe, a white stripe and a red stripe.Each stripe tells something about Italy.The white stripe is symbol of Italy's snowy mountains. Some flags show pictures. The flag of Canada has a picture of a red maple (枫叶) leaf,which is a symbol of the maple trees in Canada. The Mexican flag has both a pattern of stripes and a picture. The picture shows an eagle eating a snake. This picture comes from a very old Mexican story.A flag may also tell about a country's past. The American flag is called the Stars and Stripes. It haspattern of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The fifty stars are a symbol of the fifty states in the country and the thirteen stripes are a symbol of the country's first thirteen colonies (殖民地).However, a flag may be a symbol of a group, a school or an event like the Olympics. The flag of the Olympics shows five rings of different colors that connect. Each ring is a symbol for a part of the world that joins in the Olympics. The Red Cross is a group that helps people who are in trouble. If a person sees the Red Cross flag,which has a red cross against a white background,he knows he can ask for help. People may fly a flag as a custom on a holiday. Children's Day in Japan is a holiday when the country wishes for children's happiness.

It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances are that you’ 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil—powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they’ re working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums〔耳鼓〕. The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn’t change too much〔music, for example〕may even help people to concentrate.36. According to this passage, the noise pollution __A. has become the worst in the countrysideB. has become better in big citiesC. has spread from cities to villagesD. has been controlled in modern cities37. What does background music refer to?A. Music played while people are working.B. Music played in the backyard.C. Noise that continues while you’ re listening to other noises.D. Music used to help people to concentrate.38. Some people have their hearing harmed __A. while listening to pop musicB. in complete silenceC. when speaking loudlyD. while watching TV39. Which of the following isn’t included among the things causing noise?A. trucksB. motorcyclesC. electric enginesD. jet planes40. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something isA. all kinds of noiseB. great changes in the level of noiseC. background noiseD. popular musicBIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition〔学会〕of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm〔热情〕for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality〔准时〕for meals. In general, the controls imposed〔强加的〕represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community〔社区〕as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept〞. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach〔说教〕, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.41. Eagerly watchi ng the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things42. When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.A. encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. not expect too much of themC. achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. create as many learning opportunities as possible43. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation44. The underlined word “precept〞〔in Paragraph 3〕probably means “_____〞.A. ideaB. punishmentC. behaviourD. instruction45. In moral matters, parents should _____.A. observe〔遵守,奉行〕the rules themselvesB. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. satisfy their children’s needs四. 根据要求写出如下词的正确形式:〔共15小题;每一小题1分,总分为15分〕1.

Tour package 1&2BA couple of years ago I graduated from art school. After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree. I had majored in Illustration(插图)and loved it, but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies. This left me with few options other than freelance(自由作家)and a nannying(保姆)job.I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side. It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent, but I loved it, so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding. I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them. It wasn’t much, and I hoped it would be a good gift. When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect. There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried, “That’s us! This is so beautiful!”It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment. I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures. Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over. I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for. Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.I’ve just started offering couple, family and pet portraits as an item on my first shop.4. After graduation, the author chose to ________.A. do illustrations for a companyB. draw portraitsC. work as a nanny&a freelanceD. draw furry creatures5. Why did the author decide to draw a portrait for her friends as a wedding present?A. Her friends requested her to do so.B. She thought it was meaningful.C. She hadn’t enough money available to buy one.D. She was fond of drawing people best.6. How did the customers feel when they received their portrait?A. delighted.B. frightened.C. embarrassed.D. shocked.7. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Your major is your future careerB. I gave a gift and it turned into a careerC. I sacrificed a lot for my jobD. You are to do what you desire to doCAbout a century ago, the average life-span (寿命) for Americans was about 50 years. Today, the typical American lives for around seventy-eight years.According to a German aging study, the maximum life span in industrialized countries has increased by two years every decade since the mid 19th century. What accounts for such increased longevity? Between 1900 and 1950, inventions such as refrigeration(制冷技术)and sewage treatment(污水处理)meant that young people were able to survive longer. Moreover, medical breakthroughs helped contain diseases such as polio(小儿麻痹症), which killed many children. These advances helped increase the average life span.Medical discoveries after World War II tended to benefit older people. Treatments for heart disease, for example, have allowed the elderly to live longer on average. So does this mean that future medical breakthroughs will result in even longer average life spans, or have we reached our limit? Scientists disagree.Some argue that if science is one day able to remove disease and old-age infirmity, there will be virtually no limit on how long humans can live. Some even predict that by the year 2150, the average life span will have increased to around 120 years.Other life-expectancy researchers find that scenario(假设) highl y unlikely. Our bodies’ cells can keep reproducing for only so long before they peter out(分裂). Only when science finds a way to keep our cells dividing longer will we see another significant leap in life expectancy.Still, with plenty of exercise and a hea lthy diet, those who hold the view can always hope that they’ll live long enough to break the record held by Jeanne Louise Calment of France, who lived to be 122.8. Compared with the average life-span about a century ago, the typical American lives about________ years longer at present.A. 50B. 78C. 28D. 429. After World War II, the longer average life spans mainly resulted from ________.A. refrigeration and sewage treatmentB. medical breakthroughsC. keeping the cells dividing longerD. reducing polio10. What is the scientists’ attitude towards the view “we have reached our life-span limit”?A. supportiveB. objectiveC. optimisticD. disapproving11. According to some life-expectancy researchers, keeping our bodies’ c ells reproducing before they peter out may be ________.A. impossibleB. possibleC. excitingD. concerningDCertain aspects of music have the same effect on people even when they live in very different societies, a new study reveals.Researchers asked 40 Mbenzele Pygmies in the Congolese rainforest to listen to short clips of music. They were asked to listen to their own music and to unfamiliar Western music.The same 19 selections of music were also played to 40 amateur or professional musicians in Montreal. Musicians were included in the Montreal group because Mbenzele Pygmies could be considered musicians as they all sing regularly for ceremonial purposes, the study authors explained.Both groups were asked to rate how the music made them feel using emoticons, such as happy, sad or excited faces.There were significant differences between the two groups as to whether a specific piece of music made them feel good or bad. However, both groups had similar responses to how exciting or calming they found the different types of music.“Our major discovery is that listeners from very different groups both responded to how exciting or calming they felt the music to be in similar ways,” Hauke Egermann, of the Technical University of Berlin, said in a news release from McGill University in Montreal. Egermann conducted part of the study as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill.The Montreal participants felt a wider range of emotions as they listened to the Western music than the Pygmies expressed when listening to either their own or Western music. This may be due to the different roles music plays in the two cultures.“Negative emotions are felt to disturb the harmony of the forest in Pygmy culture and are therefore dangerous,” Nathalie Fernando, of th e University of Montreal's faculty of music, said in the news release. “If a baby is crying, the Mbenzele will sing a happy song. If the men are scared of going hunting, they will sing a happy song — in general, music is used in this culture to evacuate all negative emotions, so it is not really surprising that the Mbenzele feel that all the music they hear makes them feel good,” she explained.12. Why could Mbenzele Pygmies be regarded as musicians?A. They are crazy about music.B. They major in music at school.C. They can play musical instruments well.D. They often sing songs on ceremony.13. The study mainly finds that ________.A. music is universal across culturesB. music varies among different countriesC. western music results in negative emotionsD. music makes people happy14. The underlined word “evacuate” probably means ________.A. set offB. benefit fromC. get rid ofD. account for15. The examples mentioned in the last paragraph are to show that ________.A. music plays different roles in the two culturesB. music plays the same role in the two culturesC. negative music disturbs the harmony of the forestD. happy music is welcomed everywhere第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二下学期期末调研英语试题一、阅读选择The Happiest Place on Earth may soon be welcoming visitors again. On Wednesday, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced that Shanghai Disneyland will reopen on May 11. But one of the new safety measures is phased (分阶段的) reopening. This means Disney will begin by gradually and partially reopening certain locations.If you've ever been to a Disney theme park, especially during peak days, you know how crowded it can get and how necessary FastPasses are. On a "normal day" at Disneyland, park attendance is 65,000 people, according to Walt Disney Imagineering director Kim Irvine. So physical distancing and capacity measures are major focuses as Disney prepares to reopen. Dr. Hymel says that Disney will "conduct physical distancing guidelines based on guidance from health authorities."The new measures will likely include a guest capacity (容量) based on state and federal guidelines. Disney is also exploring ways technology can help with socialdistancing-experiments in this aspect include using virtual queues at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in advance.Other new measures include increased cleaning of high traffic areas. Disney will follow guidelines from the medical community and the government for improved screening procedures and prevention measures; this means guests will likely need facial masks. Disney Parks have already adopted new measures such as providing hand soaps and setting up hand washing stations.Shanghai Disneyland has sold out all tickets for May 11. The theme park said that all tickets were gone in a matter of minutes after sales started at 8 am on Friday.1.In order to reopen, Disney has decided to take some measures EXCEPT_________ A.following guidance from authoritiesB.advocating waiting in line for ticketsC.cleaning high traffic areas more oftenD.providing convenience for hand-wash2.This passage is mainly about _________A.the great popularity of Disney parksB.the phased opening of Disney parks .C.the new measures of Disney parksD.the great changes of Disney parksChildren with long-term health conditions, such as asthma (哮喘), may be at greater risk of developing a mental health disorder in early adolescence compared to healthy children, according to a new study.The findings, published in the journal Development and Psychopathology, show that kids with chronic illness exhibit higher rates of mental problems at age 10, and these health issues continue to be associated with poor mental health at ages 13 and 15.In the study, the research team reviewed a sample of approximately 7,000 children to investigate the occurrence of mental health disorders, including anxiety or depression, and chronic illness. They found that children with chronic health conditions were approximately twice as likely at 10 and at 13 to present with a mental health disorder than healthy children. At age 15, children with chronic health problems were 60% more likely to present with such disorders.“Although the link between chronic health conditions and mental health problems in childhood has been made before, this study provides the strongest evidence of it to data in the years of late childhood and early adolescence," said study author Dr. Ann Marie Brady. “The difference chronic illness makes to mental health is concerning, and the first impact can be seen even before adolescence, in late childhood."The researchers also found that bullying and health-related absence from school were two most significant additional factors for children with mental health issues. The second one was identified as the most consistent factor predicting mental health problems over time.“If children with chronic illness are more likely to miss school, or experience bullying, that can make the situation worse. Keeping an eye on school attendance and looking out for evidence of bullying amongst those children may help to find out who are most at risk.", said Dr. Brady.3.The underlined term “chronic illness" in Paragraph 2 refers to a kind of disease_________ A.causing a lot of deaths B.causing absent-mindednessC.lasting for a long time D.leading to mental disorders4.By the findings of this study, we know that_________A.chronic illness leads to the mental health disorder in early adolescenceB.healthy young adolescents have no chance of having mental problems C.adolescents with illness are more likely to develop mental health disordersD.chronic illness has some relation to mental problems in early adolescence5.What is special about this study?A.It makes a new discovery based on the findings of previous studiesB.It draws a more accurate conclusion based on the previous studiesC.It questions the accuracy of the findings by the previous studiesD.It draws more attention to adolescents' health than previous studies6.Which of the following can best help to decide if children with chronic illness tend to have mental problems?A.Their school attendance.B.Their physical conditions.C.Their tolerance of bullying.D.Their tendency for bullying.It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the boredom of housework and raising little kids. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was “it” and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years--until the day he died.George was a man who lived life to the full. He worked hard, played hard and had an opinion about everything. As a slim and energetic man, he took pride in his fitness and walked more than three kilometers every day. “I'd no more go without my walk than without changing my underwear. “He’d say.As the only male in a painting class full of women, George ruled the roost and we were his hens. He adored his singular role and looked after his brood with the same attention he gave to everything.He took to painting with passion and commitment, even changing the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive- an easel, quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives-even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing.For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometers of each other. I'd sometimes seehim on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we' d touch base witha“proper”afternoon tea.Fast-forward some years and George was now about 80 years old. He rang one day and asked me to come to his house, saying he needed to ask me something. George explained that he was giving up painting and giving away all his “stuff". Everything--paints, boards, canvases, completed works and rolling pin! “I can't paint, Bev.” He declared in the manner of a child who had to say farewell to his favorite toy.“ You have the best talent and are most likely to use it," he said.After considerable persuasion, I accepted this precious gift on condition that he could reclaim it at any time. He never did, of course, and I still use much of his equipment today, more than 20 years later. As I paint, I often remember George and his big personality. 7.The friendship between George and the writer started because_________A.they thought painting was characterized by creativityB.they appreciated each other for their painting abilityC.they thought painting was a great way of killing timeD.they shared happiness in their local painting class8.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicates that_________A.George walked too hard to change his underwearB.George viewed his walk as a great way to keep fitC.George had his opinion of changing his underwearD.George had to walk hard daily to live life to the full9.The rolling pin is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that_________A.George was passionate about paintingB.George was cautious about his paintingC.George was skilled with his paintingD.George was fond of its use in painting10.Which of the following can NOT reflect George’s “big personality “in the last paragraph? A.“He worked hard, played hard and had an opinion about everything" (Paragraph 2) B.“As the only male ... George ruled the roost and we were his hens." (Paragraph 3) C.“I’d sometimes see him on his daily walk .... afternoon tea." (Paragraph 5)D.“He declared in the manner of a child who ... his favorite toy."

beaded floral embroidery(珠串刺绣)from the past era,stylist Xiao Hang looks like coming from a time machine,attracting a lot of curious glances and questions.China has made Western fashion and technology fall together with its high﹣speed development in recent years.At the same time,the government has also increased the publicity and learning of traditional Chinese culture from the aspects of education,culture,entertainment and so on,which seems to make period dramas and traditional"hanfu"or"Han clothing"become hot overnight.The Story of Minglan,a TV series set in the Song Dynasty,got more than400million viewers in three days when it was released(发行).A growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their clothing choices and wearinghanfu.These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(复兴).There is no clear uniform standard of hanfu because each Han﹣dominated dynasty had its own style,but the outfits are characterized by loose,flowing robes with sleeves that hang down to the knees.In modem China,the hanfu community spread to the different walks of life,from elderly history lovers to young professionals,and even to students.Jiang Xue,who is from Beijing﹣based hanfu club Mowutianxia,said,"If we as a people and as a country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don*t wear them,how can we talk about other basic parts of our culture?"Yang Jiaming,a high school student in Beijing,wears his outfit under his school uniform.Two﹣thirds of my wardrobe is hanfu,"he said,dressed in a Tang﹣style gown and black boots,addingthat his classmates and teachers have been backing up him.They are in agreement with his idea that clothes are the foundation of culture.There is some way before hanfu can be accepted by most of the people in China.Some say sometimes they will lose heart by the strange looks when wearing hanfu in public.(1)Why did the author describe Xiao Hang's long robe at the beginning?A.To attract the readers'attention to the ancient clothes.B.To introduce the special design of hanfu.C.To show the dressing style of Xiao Hang.D.To give the features of a time machine.(2)What mainly makes hanfu popular?A.Western fashion and technology.B.People's interest in period dramas.C.Old people's preference for fine clothes.D.The government's encouragement of traditional culture.(3)What can be learned about hanfu from Paragraphs3and4?A.Hanfu clubs aim at taking hanfu﹣﹣style photos.B.Many people know the clear standard of hanfu.C.People from hanfu community wear hanfu every day.D.Hanfu can help understand traditional Chinese culture.(4)What does the underlined phrase"backing up"in Paragraph5mean?A.Ignoring.B.Supporting.C.Discouraging.D.Bearing.13.(8分)I've always been interested in computers and technology,and I made a few apps for the iPhone,iPod touch,and iPad.I'd like to share a couple with you today.My first app is"Earth Fortune".My favorite and most successful app is"Bustin Jieber"﹣which is a Justin Bieber whack﹣a﹣mole(打地鼠游戏).I created it because a lot of people at school disliked the pop star a little bit,so I decided to make the app.I released it on December21,2010.A lot of people asked me how I made these.A lot of times it's because the person who asked the question wants to make an app also.Where do you go to find out how to make an app?Well,this is how I got close to it,and this is what I did.First of all,I'd already been programming in many programming languages to get the basics down,such as Python,C,Java,etc.And then Apple released the iPhone with the software development kit(软件开发工具包)﹣﹣a set of tools for creating and programming an iPhone app.This opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me,and after playing with the kit a little bit,I made a couple of test apps.I persuaded(劝说)my parents to pay99dollars to be able to put my apps on the App Store.They agreed,and now I have apps on the App Store.I've gotten a lot of creative ideas from Steve Jobs,and I've started an app club at school with the help of my teacher.Any student at my school can come and learn how to design an app.I'd like to finish up by saying what I'd like to do in the future.I'm working with a third party company to make an app.My next goal is to get into Android programming and development,continue my app club,and find other ways for students to share knowledge with others.(1)What can we learn about Bustin Jieber?A.It is the author's first app for the iPhone.B.It was released at the beginning of2010.C.It is popular with Justin Bieber fans.D.It is a whack﹣a﹣mole game.(2)What allowed the author possibilities to program?A.His teacher'sguidance.B.Test apps on theApp Store.C.The Java programming language.D.Apple's software development kit.(3)What did the author do after he finished his test apps?A.He bought an iPhone.B.Hemet with Steve Jobs.C.He asked his parents for support.D.Hesold them to the App Store.(4)What's the author's future plan?A.To set up an app club.B.Todesign an Android app.C.To put his apps on the AppStore.D.Toshare his apps with others for free.14.(8分)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes con﹣fusion(困惑)across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places(although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places;some Americans believe that Russians don*t smile enough.In Southeast Asian cultures,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story,with a smile.Our faces show emotions(情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as wewould"read*'someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.(1)What does the smile usually mean in America?A.Love.B.Joy.C.Politeness.D.Thankfulness.(2)The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can.A.show friendliness to strangersB.be used in the wrong placesC.be used to hide true feelingsD.show personal habits(3)What should we do before attempting to"read"people?A.Learn about their relations withothers.B.Understand their culturalbackgrounds.C.Find out about their pastexperience.D.Figure out what they will do next.(4)What would be the best title for the text?A.Cultural DifferencesB.Smiles and RelationshipC.Habits and EmotionsD.Facial Expressiveness第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression,and that's actually quite true.(1)After all,making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them.The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.Dress appropriately(2)That means dressing up or putting on nice,clean,situation﹣appropriate clothes for social situations.It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much,either.Be aware of your body languageWords express very little of what you say.Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood(情绪)and confidence level.(3)Eye contact(接触)is an easy way to make others feel comfortable,important and special.Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious.Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.Respect the opinions of othersNot everyone will have the same opinion with you,and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversation.Respect other people's right to have their own opinion.Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them.(4).(5).People love talking about themselves,but generally,you want to be careful of taking over the conversation.By listening carefully to what others are saying,you are not only making them feel important,but you can gather cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.A.Be a careful listener.B.Show an interest in every person you meet.C.Smile especially when first meeting someone.D.Make sure you look nice whenever you meet someone new.E.Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.F.Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.G.Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.外研版高二(上)期末英语试卷-1参考答案与试题解析第一部分听力(共两节,满分7.5分)做题时,先将答案标在试卷上.录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上.第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话.每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置.听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题.每段对话仅读一遍.1.(1.5分)What

education,culture,entertainment and so on,which seems to make period dramas and traditional"hanfu"or"Han clothing"become hot overnight.The Story of Minglan,a TV series set in the Song Dynasty,got more than400million viewers in three days when it was released (发行).A growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their clothing choices and wearing hanfu.These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(复兴).There is no clear uniform standard of hanfu because each Han﹣dominated dynasty had its own style,but the outfits are characterized by loose,flowing robes with sleeves that hang down to the knees.In modem China,the hanfu community spread to the different walks of life,from elderly history lovers to young professionals,and even to students.Jiang Xue,who is from Beijing﹣based hanfu club Mowutianxia,said,"If we as a people and as a country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don*t wear them,how can we talk about

country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don*t wear them,how can we talk about other basic parts of our culture?"汉服没有明确的统一标准,因为每一个汉朝都有自己的风格,但汉服的特点是宽松、飘逸的长袍,袖子垂到膝盖.在现代中国,汉服的群体遍及各行各业,从老年历史爱好者到青年专业人士,甚至学生们.来自北京的蒋雪教授说:"如果我们作为一个民族和一个国家,甚至不理解我们的传统服装,或者不穿它们,我们怎么谈论我们文化的其他基本部分呢?"可知,从汉服这种服装形式上,我们可以更好的了解中国的传统文化和历史,结合选项,故选D.4.B.词义猜测题.根据文章第五段,Two﹣thirds

My father is a truck driver. One evening, he took me to meet my mother from work. We were waiting in the truck when my father smelled something smelly (焦味的). He looked behind and saw smoke coming from a house not far from our truck. He quickly ran to the house. I saw fire when he opened the door and went inside. He came out with a woman and rushed back in for her children. He didn 't stop until all the children were out. When the firemen arrived, we went back to wait for my mother.My father didn 't tell this matter to my mother. The next day, the story in the newspaper said that the people saved from the house fire were trying to find the man and to thank him. My father just said that they had more important things to be concerned with.My father has a mental detector(金属探测器). He has found a lot of change, jewelry and junk(旧物). The most valuable thing he found was a gold badge(徽章) which was given to a nurse when she graduated. It had a last name and a date in the early 1950s. He did some research and knew that the owner was now in a nursing home several hundred miles away. The next Sunday, he drove to see the owner. The old woman was very happy. The badge had been lost for over 50 years. She asked my father how much he wanted for the badge and he refused any reward (酬金).Any one of these events makes my father a hero, but he never stops.

It 'sa question faced hundreds of times by Xiao Yang, whose online film Old Boys is resonating (共鸣) deeply with Chinese born in the 1970s and 1980s.In the movie, Xiao plays a wedding party host who loves singing, while his real -life business partner Wang Taili plays a hairdresser who loves dancing. But their youthful dreams have been replaced by reality. At the end of the movie, the two old boys walk onto a talent show to realize their dreams, even though everyone is making fun of them.The film has been viewed online more than 26 million times since its Oct 28 debut. “I didn 't see that coming, ”said Xiao, 31, who makes a living by shooting commercials(拍摄商业广告), but who had long considered shooting a film. The old boys 'story came easily. As fans of Michael Jackson, Xiao and Wang told a story about ordinary people recapturing (获取,实现)their lost dreams---performing Michael Jackson 's songs on the stage--- in memory of their icon and their own dying dreams. “In 2009, when Michael Jackson died, so many young people were sad, perhaps not so much because the person had died, but that since their idol (偶像)was dead, they feel that this signals the end of youth, ”Xiao recalled. “At that time, I was working like crazy and I didn 't know why. I wanted a way to express this feeling, and this film is the result. ”What comforted (安慰)the two men most was that this film changed some people 's lives. Many citizens, who cried during the final scenes, say the film reawakened their dreams. Wang said he wept (哭泣) many times while writing the lyrics (歌词), which to some extent were mainly based on his own decades-long singing dream. Just like the hairdresser he plays in the film, in reality, Wang can onlysing as a hobby.46. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The creation process of the film Old Boys.B. The character introduction of the film Old Boys.C. The online film Old Boys touches a generation.D. The connection of youthful dreams and reality.47. Which of the following statements is true about the film Old Boys?A. It turns out a success as expectedB. Everyone looks down upon the two old boysC. It was based on an imaginary tale.D. It has a great effect on some people 's lives.48. The film Old Boys is made in order to _____ .A. encourage more youths to learn dancing and singingB. be in memory of the idol star Micheal JacksonC. advise more people to take up actingD. show an empty and lonely feeling in reality49. What does Xiao Yang mainly do in reality?A. Direct filmsB. Sing songsC. Shoot commercialsD. Take up a hairdresser50. What is likely to be the next paragraph?A. How the two old boys began to cooperate to create the film.B. What worldwide influence the film will make.C. The future filming career of the two old boys.D. The necessity and importance of realizing dreams.Text 3About 100 million Chinese use microblogs(微博), according to a leading Chinese research center. It' estimated (估计)that at the beginning of 2013, there could be as many as 240 million microbloggers in China.Clearly, microblogs become a growing phenomenon(现象).Microblogs are becoming a powerful and efficient way of effecting change and drumming up(争取)publicity for differe nt causes.Take Peng Gaofeng for example. In February, Peng's3 year-old son was abducted(诱拐) in Shenzhen in 2008. Peng spent three fruitless years searching for him. Finally, the police advised Peng to give up hope. But a friend decided to take matters into his own hands and posted a photo of Peng's son on his microblog. Peng later received a tip-off from an Internet user in Jiangsu Province, who commented that he had seen a boy who looked like Peng 'sson. Happily, this led to peng and his son being reunited.So, why are microblogs so powerful in the modern media age? In an interview with The Beijing News, Professor Yu showed four main reasons why micro-blogs can outstrip(超过) other forms of media.Speed: Microblogs are a relentlessly fast medium. “This represents the new direction of Web development, ”said Yu.Fragmented: “Microblog users might be at the scene of an unfolding story, alongside or ahead of traditional media. ”Direct: “Microblogs are direct because there is no mediator , ”said Yu.Micro-power: “Microblogs is nothing more than each individual taking responsibility, ”said Yu.Some commentators(评论家)have criticized services such as Twitter and micro-blogs, saying that there are no checks to separate rumors(谣言) from reality. For instance, rumors that iodized salt could help guard against radiation poisoning spread on microblogs in March. This followed fears that radiation could spread to China from Japan's crippled Daiichi Nuclear Plant. Online rumors triggered(弓I起)the panic buying of salt in some Chinese cities.However, it would appear that micro-blogs are here to stay, and some commentators even put microblogs ahead of media for popularity and reliability.51. Which of the following is true about Peng Gaofeng?A. He lost his son in Jiangsu in 2008B. The police helped him find his sonC. He finally gave up looking for his sonD. He found his son through the Internet52. It is estimated that by the beginning of 2013, microbloggers in China will increase by ____ ?A. 240 millionB. 100 millionC. 340 millionD. 140 million53. The author takes Peng Gaofeng for example to ______ .A. introduce to us the functions of microblogsB. show the power and effect of microblogsC. convince us of the popularity of microblogsD. criticize the police not finding his son54. One disadvantage of microblogs is that ____ .A. it 's a very fast mediumB. it 's direct without mediatorC. there may be many rumors on itD. it can involve each individual55. In the opinion of the author, microblogs will ____ .A. grow and develop despite their disadvantagesB. be forbidden by authoritiesC. have fewer and fewer users in the futureD. spread more and more rumors in the future.Part 3 Writing (共二节,满分35 分)Section A 短文改错(满分10 分)Nowadays millions of people of all age take pleasure in a hobby whichis both interested and fun.

It helps us communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. But have you ever stopped to consider the power of words themselves? Words can inspire, motivate, and move people. They can also hurt, confuse, or mislead. The impact of words goes beyond just their literal meanings; they carry emotional weight and can shape how weperceive the world around us.In literature, authors often use specific language choices to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions in their readers. For instance, the choice between using a connotative word versus a denotative one can significantly alter the tone and atmosphere of a piece of writing. Consider the difference between describing a character as ‘nervous’ versus ‘anxious’. Bo th words describe a state of unease, but ‘anxious’ carries a stronger sense of worry and anticipation than ‘nervous’.Moreover, the arrangement of words in a sentence can also affect the reader’s understanding. A well-crafted sentence not only communicates information clearly but also creates rhythm and flow, making the text more engaging. In this way, writers use the power of words to create a connection with their audience, inviting them into the story or argument being presented.1、What is the main idea of the passage?A. Words can only be used to communicate basic information.B. The choice of words has no significant effect on the reader.C. Authors use specific language choices to influence the reader’s emotions and perception.D. Sentences should always be crafted simply to ensure clarity. Answer: C2、Which of the following best describes the relationship between connotative and denotative words according to the passage?A. Connotative words provide a more direct meaning compared to denotative words.B. Denotative words are always more emotionally charged than connotative words.C. There is no difference between connotative and denotative words in terms of emotional impact.D. Connotative words carry emotional implications beyond their dictionary definitions.Answer: D3、How does the author illustrate the importance of sentence structure?A. By stating that sentence structure is irrelevant to the quality of writing.B. By suggesting that sentence structure affects the rhythm and engagement of the text.C. By arguing that complex sentences are preferred over simple ones.D. By claiming that all sentences should follow a strict pattern. Answer: B4、Choose the option that correctly completes the following statement based on the passage: “Authors use the power of words to _____.”A. isolate their audience.B. create a disconnect with their readers.C. form a bond with their audience.D. avoid engaging their readers.Answer: CThis section is designed to test reading comprehension skills including inference, main idea identification, vocabulary in context, and the ability to understand author intent and literary techniques.第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Passage:In the small town of Windmill Hill, there was once a grand old library that had been the heart of the community for over a century.

With just a few clicks, we can connect with people from all over the world, access a vast array of knowledge, and even shop for products without leaving our homes. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One of the most significant challenges is information overload. The sheer volume of data available on the internet can be overwhelming, making it difficult to sift through and find the information we truly need.One solution to this problem is the concept of digital minimalism. Digitalminimalism is a movement that encourages individuals to simplify their digital lives by reducing the amount of time spent on their devices and focusing on the things that truly matter. Advocates of this approach believe that by limiting our exposure to digital distractions, we can improve our productivity, mental health, and overall well-being.The key principles of digital minimalism include:1.Identifying digital distractions: The first step in adopting digital minimalism is to recognize the digital distractions in our lives. These can be social media, endless scrolling, or even email notifications.2.Setting specific goals: Once the distractions have been identified, it’s important to set clear goals for how you want to use your digital devices. This could involve limiting screen time or deleting apps that are not necessary.3.Creating a digital detox: A digital detox involves taking a break from all digital devices for a set period of time. This can help to reset your focus and reduce the urge to constantly check your devices.4.Embracing analog alternatives: Instead of using digital devices for every task, try to find analog alternatives. For example, use a planner instead of digital calendars, or write letters by hand instead of sending emails.5.Regularly reviewing your digital habits: Digital minimalism is not a one-time change but a continuous process. Regularly reviewing your digital habits and making adjustments as needed is crucial for maintaining a minimalist approach.Questions:1.What is one of the main challenges mentioned in the passage related to the internet?A. Privacy concernsB. Information overloadC. Security risksD. Lack of connectivity2.What is the main idea of the concept of digital minimalism?A. To increase the amount of time spent on digital devicesB. To eliminate all digital distractionsC. To simplify digital lives by reducing device usageD.

In your letter, explain your reasons for your viewpoint, and suggest one improvement that could be made to the policy.Example:[Your Name][Your Address][City, State, ZIP Code][Email Address][Date]Editor-in-ChiefSchool Newspaper[School Name][School Address][City, State, ZIP Code]Dear Editor-in-Chief,I am writing to express my thoughts on the recent announcement of the new school uniform policy. While I understand the intentions behind this initiative to foster a sense of community and uniformity among students, I have some concerns and suggestions that I believe would enhance the policy.Firstly, I appreciate the effort to create a more inclusive environment by implementing a uniform policy. However, I believe that the current policy is too restrictive and does not take into account the diverse tastes and preferences of students. Many students have expressed their discomfort with the limited color choices and the lack of individual expression allowed in the current uniform design.One improvement that could be made is to offer a wider range of colors and styles within the uniform guidelines. This would allow students to express their personalities while still maintaining the required level of uniformity. Additionally, I suggest introducing a ‘spirit day’ or ‘theme day’ where students can wear their own clothes once a week to celebrate special occasions or school events.Furthermore, I would like to propose that the school administration consider providing financial assistance to families who may struggle to afford the new uniforms. This would ensure that no student is excluded due to financial constraints.。
