AHello, my name is David and I'm a mobile-phone addict (手机迷). I am here today to face the truth about my condition and hope that by speaking out I can help others to overcome their own problems.The careless observer probably couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I have a respectable appearance and my behavior in public isn’t shocking or attracting. I hadn’t even realized myself that I was a mobile addict until the past few days. But I have just spent two of those days doing an experiment that has showed the terrible reality. I have suffered mentally and physically. And my experience has made me believe that I am only one of millions of fellow addicts.When I turned the phone on after two days I found I had three messages and four texts. OK, so I was a bit put out that there were not more. I had missed the chance to do a phone interview that I had been trying to get for two weeks and an invitation to a last-minute lunch. Angry but to be honest, no more than that.However, I was relieved to have the phone back on. My fingers soon stopped twitching (颤抖) caused by not using the phone. I sent some unimportant texts and made a couple of meaningless calls and that cheered me up.I still believe that the phone is an important tool for work, but realize that otherwise it is often just a meaningless safety blanket “ Hi, darling. I'm on my way home. Just leaving the office now. Love you. Bye.”So do I have the courage to stop using it as such? Of course I do. But I just choose not to.28. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.A. make people know that he is a mobile-phone addict.B. tell us the mobile phone is a kind of useful toolC. inform us of the shortcomings of the mobile phones.D. help other mobile addicts overcome their problems29. During the two days when the mobile phone was turned off, the writer was_______.A. relievedB. cheerfulC. uncomfortableD. sad30. By saying “ I was a bit put out” the writer probably means “I was________”.A. gladB. angryC. confusedD. troublesome31. From the last paragraph, we can see that the writer will _______.A. throw away the mobile phoneB. stop using the mobile phoneC. still use the mobile phoneD. give the mobile phone to a needy personBMany people in high school can not wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to getto know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.32. When it comes to going to college the author thinks .A. students will become homesickB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. financial situation is the first to considerD. students are eager to attend their ideal university33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The location of the college is a main factor.B. A long distance will make students upset.C. Students can be independent at college.D. The climate must be taken into consideration.34. What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacityB. A very sociable personC. A very particular personD. A person of great importance35. Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?A. The location of a collegeB. School sizeC. The examination resultsD. the coming challenges.第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15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,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AFor some kids, the news on TV can be difficult to understand. Don’t worry! Here comes Linda Ellerbee. She is a well-known journalist behind Nickelodeon’s Nick News, a special TV program for kids. As the show’s creator and reporter, Ellerbee talks about the news in a way that’s easy for children to understand.This month, Nick News celebrated its 20th birthday. It is the longest running TV news program for kids. Ann Curry, the host of the program Today, interviewed Ellerbee in New York City. Ellerbee wore her favorite orange shoes—the same pair she wears in the program—for the special occasion.When asked why she started Nick News, Ellerbee’s answer is simple. “Kids have a right to know, ”she says. “And they already do know, but maybe not all the facts. ”She looks at her job on Nick News as more than just a news reporter. She says that it’s her duty to explain the news and help children understand what has really happened.Ellerbee tries to balance bad news with good news, too. “Behind each sad story, there’s always someone or something trying to make it better, ”she explains.Besides important events, Nick News also reports the things that are going on in the world of kids. When deciding what to talk about in the program, Ellerbee says, “We think: What big events are kids unable to avoid?What are they already hearing about?How can we help them unde rstand better?”21. According to the text, Linda Ellerbee_______.A. is now twenty years oldB. works as a news reporterC. likes to wear sports shoesD. knows how to take care of kids22. Nick News is special because of_______.A. the time it beginsB. the news it reportsC. the way it collects the newsD. the way it tells kids the news23. What do we know about Nick News?A. It mainly reports exciting news.B. It is a new program made by Ellerbee.C. It teaches kids how to make the news.D. It helps kids learn about the news better.24. What is Ellerbee’s attitude toward her job?A. She takes it seriously.B. She thinks it pays well.C. She finds it a bit boring.D. She’s not interested in it.BThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices thatsound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.26. From Henning's result we can see that ________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning27. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on28. The passage centers on ________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on students第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

横峰中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第九周周练试卷第一节:阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)I went over my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking.My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed.At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enoug h kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself o ut of the world.32. The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that________.A. she thought the lady was too busyB. she would make them as thanks to herC. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special timeD. they had had an agreement before33. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A. my grandmother has a secret way of livingB. my grandmother does everything on careful considerationC. few people are as generous as my grandmother nowD. my grandmother will get something in return34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers.B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way.C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself.35. We may infer from the text that the writer ________.A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired lifeB. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should doC. thinks his grandmother should not be so kindD. is proud of his grandmother第二节:七选五(每题3分,共15分)_36 You can send messages in only a few sec onds by email.On the Internet there are many powerful computers called “servers” to help people send and receive emails. __37__ If you want to use the email se rvice, you have to open at least an email account called a “mailbox”, just like we set up a mailbox in a post office.

【精品】江西省横峰县2016-2017学年高二《英语》下学期第周周练试题及答案

2016-2017学年度下学期高二英语第14周周练试卷第一部分阅读理解(共10小题,每题2.5分,满分20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AFarming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise or a sprawling complex (综合楼) in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the world’s food problems.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those--about 3 billion--are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to completely increase crop output.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的) and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140, 000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need onlyspecific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the consumer, and there’s no need to transport it long distances.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. The climate is worse and worse.B. The city people live a hard life.C. The world has difficulty feeding its people. D The world’s population is increasing fast29. The underlined word “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means“”.A. badly affectedB. preventedC. demandedD. well achieved30. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws’s farming .A. helps save sea water a lotB. suits different conditionsC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. suits the production of corn31.What is the text mainly about?A. Development of indoor farming.B. Great Revolution in farming.C. Advantages of indoor farming.D. Sunless, rainless indoor farming.BChina’s local pension funds will launch a first wave of making profits in the national stock market(股市) by the end of this year before an ageing population becomes a difficulty in economy. The government has announced an ambitious plan that could help local governments overcome record-low interest rates and reduce the Chinese stock marke t’s volatility(波动).The human resources ministry said that a number of local governments had moved money to the National Social Security Fund, where managers have good reasons to make money in riskier programs, including up to 40 per cent in stocks and stock funds. This first wave will release between Rmb200billion-Rmb400billion ($30bn-$60bn), according to analysts.The government started drawing up plans for such moves to the NSSF in June lastyear and the expansion of the NSSF, which held Rmb1.9trillion in 2015, will increase its power in the national stock market, reducing the influence of individual investors and probably creating a more stable flow of money into stock markets. If all provinces join the program, that would mean up to Rmb2trillion more could flow into stocks. “In theory, it’s a good thing to do and should increase profits,” said Stuart Leckie, Stirling Finance chairman, who has advised the government on pension reform. “But it was mostly done to support the stock market. They’re doing som ething good for the wrong reasons.”The Rmb5tn state pension funds managed by local governments are limited to making profits in safe programs such as bank deposits and government bonds. But these have had such low profits that local governments’ pension f unds became less over the past decade, at a time when more and more are nearing retirement.The NSSF was founded in 2000 to help some provinces in the north-east but it has seemingly achieved an average profit of nearly 9 per cent per year over the past 15 years, which matches the performance of the more experienced Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. But some economists believe the reforms are not enough to ensure the life quality of the old. “I no longer think the Chinese system can be reformed,” said Peter Diamond, a Nobel Prize winner in economics who co-authored a book on Chinese pension reform. “It must be taken apart and built back from the beginning.”32.What’s the purpose of the great governmental plan mentioned at the beginning?A. To help the stock market go smoothly.B. To make more profits for the central government.C. Tostrength people’s confidence in pension fundsD. To increase the local bank interest rates.33. What does “wrong reasons” in paragraph 3 actually mean?A. The governments intended to increase the quantity of pension funds.B. The governments originally wanted to help the old live longer.C. The move of pension funds was to improve the stock market.D. Pension funds may obtain much benefit from money moves.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The present reforms are of much practical use in bettering the life quality of the old.B. China’s system in pension funds is too perfect to reform compared with that of Canada.C. The system deserves deep consideration and even needs establishing once again.D. The reforms are of much urgency to the system being carried out in China.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Pension funds are certain to bring more benefit to the aged.B. The life of Chinese old people will be improved someday.C. Pension funds can help people to make profits in China.D. China’s local pension funds will move to the stock market.七选五We’ve all experienced peer pressure. It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. 36 .It’s hard to be the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? 37 . If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confiden t and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. 38 . You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.39 . You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach yougreat football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friends hip isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. 40 .A. Choose your friends carefully.B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.C. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.D. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.第二节完形填空 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Many Tuesday mornings. I have coffee with my father.

横峰中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第八周周练试卷第一节:阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression(侵略)in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my f lashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.32.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A.they offer their help B.they receive others’ helpC.they feel others’ kindness D.they show their weakness33.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A.he has a soft heart B.he relies much on othersC.some p eople pretend to be kind D.some people fail to see the kindness in others 34.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.A.handle problems by ourselves B.accept help from othersC.admit our weakness D.show our bravery35.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A.A Wheelchair Experience. B.Weakness and Kindness.C.Weakness and Strength. D.A Driving Experience.第二节:七选五(每题3分,共15分)We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 36 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! 37 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 38 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 39 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that youvolunt eer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 40 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.第三节:完形填空(共20小题;每题2分,共40分)Two kinds of people exist in this world: clean people and people who have found millions of ways to avoid cleaning their rooms.I belong to 41 because I am a teenager. Like all teenagers I am 42 busy pretending to be receiving an education to 43 that scientists attribute 52 percent of global warming to the 44 that escapes from my bedroom window. 45 all you 46 get too angry, I want you to know that I closed my window last week.Don’t think the messy state of my room doesn’t 47 me, it does.

And high school students score an average of 500 points 54 on the SATs than the kids in your 55 .”“No! Really?

江西省横峰中学2017-2018学年高二第13周周练英语试题2017-2018学年度上学期高二年级周练(第13周)英语试卷第一部分(共30分)一、阅读理解:(每小题2.5分,共20分)—A—Chinese people had never paid more attention to the annual Nobel literature award — which on Thursday went to Canadian writer Alice Munro —than they did last year when Mo Yan became China’s first winner of the prize.One year on, and the effect has not disappeared. Tourists continue to rush to Mo’s home village in Gaomi, Shangdong province, which has become a tourist site since the author was awarded Nobel Prize. Visiting the village is to walk into the world he created in Red Sorghum Clan, one of his best-known novels, adapted for the award-winning film Red Sorghum by famous director Zhang Yimou in 1987.About 210 hectares of red sorghum is ready for harvesting, recalling this scene Mo wrote in the novel: "In the deep autumn of the eighth month under a high, clear sky, the land is covered by sorghum that forms a wild sea of blood. When the sun comes out, the surface of the sea shimmers(闪光), and heaven and Earth are painted with rich, wonderful colors."Locals have planted the sorghum for the coming film of the novel’s TV adaptation starring actress Zhou Xun, in similar style to 1987 when Z hang’s film was filmed. But while the sorghum fields disappeared after the film was made, this time they may remain."We have signed long-term contracts to sell sorghum to wine producers," said Zhang Xinfu, head of Xianjia village, MoYan’s hometown is in t he area. "Dozens of wine producers came to discuss the sorghum business after Mo Yan won the prize," said Zhang. Zhang said the wine producers promised to pay a satisfying price for the sorghum.21. What happened to Mo Yan’s home village after he won the Prize?A. The house of Mo’s at his home village was rebuilt for tourism.B. The local people at Mo’s home village welcomed the tourists.C. Many tourists rushed to Mo’s home village to show respect and interest.D. Mo’s home village remained what it used to be.22. The underlined word “adapted” in paragraph2 probably means “___________”.A. settledB. designedC. writtenD. reorganized23. Which season was it when the passage was written?A. Autumn.B. Winter.C. Spring.D. Unknown.24. According to the text, we can infer that the wine producer bought sorghum from Mo’s home village for__________.A. the lower priceB. good quality of the red sorghum itself.C. the fame of Mo Yan.D. the large amount of the red sorghum .—B—While CCTV’s educational show A nimal World is wel l known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry. But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature-themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture. A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting trait s(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raisingher babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditiona l culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people havelearned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”25. How is Born in China special according to the article?A. It’s the first big scre en wildlife documentary ever made in China.B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.C. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.26. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the worldB. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey KingC. the stories show how animals grow up to be independentD. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals27. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE.A. Born in China shows the lives of some common animals.B. Born in China is a means to publicize Chinese traditional culture.C. Born in China follows a 2-year-old snow leopard who leaves his family.D. Born in China is a big screen wildlife documentary that is well known now.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. The stories of 3 animal familiesB. Symbols of ChinaC. Wildlife born in ChinaD. Nature shows culture二、七选五(每小题2分,共10分)阅读下面的短文,选出最佳选项,其中有两项是多余选项。

2020学年度下学期周练(第10周)高二年级英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)AThis is the SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, I'm Barbara Klein.Animal experts say one of the world's most beautiful and rare kinds of big cat is close to disappearing from the wild. A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹)still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.Recently, their number has been reduced by one, Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal's body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr, Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat, He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs(幼兽)or young.It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs, Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded, Six to eight animals could not be identified.Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China.New roads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife. 28.This passage is probably from .A. a magazineB. a newspaper reportC. a TV reportD. a film 29.Why is the killing of an adult female a huge loss?A. It could lead to the death of an adult male.B. It means it can not give birth to the young any more.C. It is worth more money than a male.D. There is only one adult female in the world.30.The number of the Amur leopards in China is becoming smaller because of all the following EXCEPT .A. new roadsB. climate changeC. human huntingD. rare diseases 31.According to the experts the Amur leopards .A. are living on plantsB. are living in the zooC. are well protected by peopleD. are endangeredBPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One co mmon way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advise about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trustyou, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of conne cting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. I f the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32.Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33.How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. 34.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important as pect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience. 35.An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?37Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making only one loaf of bread? 38 Because it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is to keep trying. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule . Themore you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully, these tips will give you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Understand your food better.B. Make three or four more instead.C. Ability is easily improved.D. Try new things.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. These are some of the questions to consider when planning.G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分50分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44.This question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46, they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. Even if it’s not 49 that young men should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen.Older people, tired and easily 53 from a day’s work, aren’t angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.If cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 56 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57. Shop assistants won’t bother to 58, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dange rously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 59 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small 60 to stop such “worsening”.41. A. something B.everything C. anything D. nothing42.

江西省横峰中学2017-2018学年高二第14周周练英语试题

2017-2018学年度上学期高二年级周练(第14周)英语试卷命题人:朱芝君满分:100分考试时间:45分钟【沉着应试冷静思考】第一部分(共30分)一、阅读理解:(每小题2.5分,共20分)AIt was a cold night in Washington D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: Don't give money to beggars. So I shook my head and kept marching.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, “I am really homeless and I am really hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on marching.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's?Before long my idea took_off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”.It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If everygardener in America — and we're seventy million strong — plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped. 21.Why did the author turn down the beggar's request?A.He was previously reminded not to do so.B.He was eager to march back to the hotel.C.He thought that it was beyond his duty.D.He was short of money at that moment.22.Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took off” (Paragraph 6)?A.We eventually took off at 11 o'clock and landed in Seattle safely.B.To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.C.On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.D.His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.23.What did the author do after the beggar's incident?A.He felt guilty but couldn't help him.B.He started a project to help the hungry.C.He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.D.He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.24.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Plant a Row for the Hungry B.Lend a Hand to BeggarsC.Never Hesitate to Help Others D.Plan a Gardening ProjectBThere are a number of ways to obtain a high school diploma, either through online programs, or attending schools or colleges.

横峰中学2017-2018学年度下学期高二英语第2周周练试卷第一部分阅读理解(每题2.5分,满分10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ACalifornia Condor's Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condors are North America's largest birds,with wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s,electrical lines and lead poisoning nearly drove them to dying out. Now,electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s,the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred (繁殖).Since 1992,there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild,and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona,Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off.“As they go in to rest for the night,they just don't see the power lines,”says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines,resulting in electrocution (电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles,placed in large training areas,teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but un-deadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced,66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead,they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds,and can lead to kidney (肾) failure and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo,where they are treated with calcium EDTA,a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years.“Although these measures are not effective forever,they are vital for now,” he says.“They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”32.California condors attract researchers' interest because they ________.A.are active at night B.had to be bred in the wildC.are found only in California D.almost died out in the 1980s 33.Researchers have found electrical lines are ________.A.blocking condors' journey home B.big killers of California condorsC.rest places for condors at night D.used to keep condors away 34.According to Paragraph 5,lead poisoning ________.A.makes condors too nervous to fly B.has little effect on condors' kidneysC.can hardly be gotten rid of from condors' bloodD.makes it difficult for condors to produce babybirds35.This passage shows that ________.A.the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB.Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineeringC.the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsD.researchers have found the final answers to the problemB七选五(每题3分,满分15分)A journalist is a person who collects, writes and distribute news or other current information. A journalist can work with general issues or specialize in certain issues.37 It is important that you can get on and work quickly and efficiently with the other technical and creative production team members. Time is very literally money in media production so there is no room for teamwork difficulties. When there are tough deadlines or late nights everyone must get together to complete the task at hand. 38 For example, can you build up a working relationship very quickly with people who you may be meeting for the first time?You also need good written and oral communication skills and must have a concise writing style — writing essays is not good evidence for this! Employers will expect you to have a good knowledge of current affairs and a curious nature, and to be flexible---especially with regard to working hours. 39 So how experienced are you in putting in extra hours?Two key qualities of journalists are a curious nature and the ability to ask the right questions at interview! 40 It is a waste of time and energy to ask the questions that you can find in books on interview skills. If you research a company well enough, you will find a number of questions naturally arising that you wish to be answered.You should, though, concentrate on questions that show your interest in, and motivation to do, the job itself, rather than the rewards it will bring.A. An employer will want to know that you can meet these demands.B. Working as part of a team is common in many media jobs.C. Would you like to be a productive journalist?D. The best questions to ask are those that you really would like to know the answers to.E. Many demands can be made on your time.F. Curiosity is a good character for many careers.G. What qualities do you need to be a journalist?第二节完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history.

I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect 43 and enough credits to go to college.

Whoever第三节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家) Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life —it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We ne ed carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”56. From the paragraph we know that working women .A.think cooking is especially complicatedB.do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully57. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories58. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A.an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine59. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food60. B y “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useBA “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word“blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web s ite. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs . And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free b log service “weblogs. c om”. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Blood says Rebe cea’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything--politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.61. The author wrote this passage mainly to _________.A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”B. introduce a short way of saying WeblogC. tell readers about blogsD. tell readers how to write blogs62. From the passage we can learn that blogs cover almost everything EXCEPT ______.A. different ideasB. medical adviceC. advertisementsD. account passwords63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Politicians don' t use blogs at all.B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs.C. Among school children, fewer boys like to use blogs.D. People have 5 language versions of “The Weblog Handbook” to read.64. Dave Winer closed his “weblogs. Com” because __________.A. more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activityB. American companies used blogs to advertise their productsC. people stole money from on -line bank accountsD. He couldn’t afford the increasing money needed to run the blogs65. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that ______.A. it was created by a womanB. it is about the history of blogsC. it provides useful information and adviceD. it has editions in at least four different languagesCRuben lived in a small village. There was no school there and he had to study in a school in the town. It was nearly five kilometres away from his village. His father couldn't buy a bike for him and he had to go to school on foot. He got up early in the morning. Usually he had to run there in order not to miss the first class. He kept running every day and it was helpful to him. He’s strong and tall now and he ran faster than any other man in his village. He took part in several sports meetings and won some medals. The young man is proud of and always wants to have a race with others.One day his mother was ill and his father told him to buy some medicine for headache in the town. The young man got there soon. There were many people in the chemist's shop while he was waiting there. And when his turn came, he couldn’t find his money. An old woman hinted(暗示)a young man had stolen it. He saw the thiefhad already left the shop. He ran towards him quickly. The thief found it and began to run. He was happy and tried to catch up with him.“Let’s have a race and see who will run faster,” Ruben called out behind.Soon after that he caught up with the thief. But he didn't stop and went on running. At a crossing one of his friends asked, “What are you running for, Ruben?”“I’m running after a thief. ”“Where’s the thief, then?”“He wants to show that he’ll run faster than me, but he’s fallen behind!”66. Ruben had to run to school because ______________.A. he had no bikeB. he hoped to win some medalsC. his village was a little far from the schoolD.he was afraid to be late for class67.______________ , so he won some medals.A. Ruben is good at runningB. Ruben went to school on timeC. Ruben often took part in the sports meetings.D. Ruben likes to have a race with others68. The phrase “a chemist’s shop” in the story means ______________.A. 化工商店B. 药店C. 化工厂D. 制药厂69.

Ruben was happy because ______________.A. he could easily catch the thiefB.he had a chance(机会)to have a raceC. he knew who had stolen his moneyD. he would win another medal that dayDPeople with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, ie, they occur before the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are bad enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been refused on the basis of disability.In recent years, the disability rights movement has been organized. Some laws have been passed for protecting the disabled.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed.Big difficulties, especially in transportation and public indifference, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded (排斥) from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.71. A “developmental” disability _______________. .A. is caused by outside forcesB. is getting worse and worseC. develops very slowly over timeD. occurs in youth and affects development72. Most disabled people used to die early because .A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functionsB. they were not very well looked afterC. medical techniques were not availableD. they were not poor to get proper treatment73. What can we learn from the text?A. Few laws have been passed to protect the disabled people.B. Few disabled people may remain single for their whole life.C. The public will look down upon the disabled people forever.D. About half of qualified Americans with disabilities are out of work.74. In the author’s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, _____________________. .A. more laws should be passedB.public attitudes should be changedC. government should provide more aidsD. more public facilities should be set up75. The best title for this text might be .A. Disadvantages and the Present Condition of the DisabledB. Medical Treatment for DisabilitiesC. The Differences of the DisabledD. The Causes for Disabilities第四节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(1) Eating meat is not an efficient way to get calories, because livestock such as cows and sheep must eat about 10 times more vegetable matter, in terms of calorie count, than they convert into meat. On the way to a steak, a huge number of food calories are wasted. And yet, humans need protein. Fortunately, insects are full of it.(2) There are at least 1,700 edible(可吃的) insect species around the world. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , along with a famous university in the Netherlands, has begun a research project to determine the potential of these insects to supplement (增补) the food supply in Europe and other places. At a conferencein late January in Rome, scientists began to work on a plan to make use of insects as alternative sources of protein.(3) Eating insects is ______ in many parts of the world. But the practice has come to be regarded with disgust and cruelty in Western cultures simply because countries with cold climate have fewer edible insect species, and these countries have therefore not regarded bug-eating as part of their cultures.(4)This has led to insects’ not being under use worldwide. “The Western attitude towards eating insects has not encouraged developing countries to place it high on the agen da of development assistance,” FAO states on its website. “As a result, Western donors neglect insects as a possible food source. In fact, Western lifestyles are often copied in developing countries, discouraging the practice.”(5)FAO is trying to change the trend. Its technical position paper, which will lay out its plan about the introduction of edible insects into the food supply, is expected to become available by mid-2012.76.

横峰中学2017-2018学年度下学期周练(第8周)高二年级英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20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,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

AThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round­up——how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life.“Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase.” she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun.“My work,” she says, “is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.

江西省横峰县2016-2017学年高二英语下学期第10周周练试题(无答案)

2016-2017学年度下学期周练(第10周)高二年级英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)AThis is the SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, I'm Barbara Klein.Animal experts say one of the world's most beautiful and rare kinds of big cat is close to disappearing from the wild. A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹)still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.Recently, their number has been reduced by one, Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal's body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr, Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat, He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs(幼兽)or young.It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs, Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded, Six to eight animals could not be identified.Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China.New roads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife.28.This passage is probably from .A. a magazineB. a newspaper reportC. a TV reportD. a film29.Why is the killing of an adult female a huge loss?A. It could lead to the death of an adult male.B. It means it can not give birth to the young any more.C. It is worth more money than a male.D. There is only one adult female in the world.30.The number of the Amur leopards in China is becoming smaller because of all the following EXCEPT .A. new roadsB. climate changeC. human huntingD. rare diseases 31.According to the experts the Amur leopards .A. are living on plantsB. are living in the zooC. are well protected by peopleD. are endangeredBPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or ed ucation she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advise about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument.An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32.Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33.How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.34.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35.An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend inthe kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making only one loaf of bread? 38 Because it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is to keep trying. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule . The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully, these tips will give you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Understand your food better.B. Make three or four more instead.C. Ability is easily improved.D. Try new things.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. These are some of the questions to consider when planning.G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分50分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44.This question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46, they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. Even if it’s not 49 that youngmen should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen.Older people, tired and easily 53 from a day’s work, aren’t angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.If cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 56 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57. Shop assistants won’t bother to 58, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 59 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small 60 to stop such “worsening”.41. A. something B.everything C. anything D.nothing42. A. comfortable B. remaining C. ideal D. good43. A. surprise B. pleasure C. pity D. sight44. A. generation B. race C. kind D. tradition45. A. taking up B. handing over C. putting away D. giving up46.

My father is stout and strong, 61 a severe look on his faces and keen expressive eyes. At first sight you may feel him hard 62 (approach). In fact he is very kind and considerate. I believe my father is a 63 (talent) man. He is decisive and efficient in doing things.

江西省横峰县2016-2017学年高二英语下学期第3周周练试题第一节. A.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.32.The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. skills 33.Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.A. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingB. teams compete against each otherC. it is an Olympic eventD. there are five climbers on each team34.Mountaineers compete against ______.A. each otherB. other teamsC. natureD. international standards 35.Which of the following might be the best title?A. How to Climb High MountainsB. Mountain ClimbersC. Challenging Sports ActivitiesD. MountaineeringB .七选五(每题3分,共15分)How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. 36 Tell them you love them every morning. A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. ___37_____Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 38____ Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?39 Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can. Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 40 Seek(寻求)help if you are being abused(虐待)in anyway.Parents do not have a right to harm you.A. Parents will in turn express their love to you.B. Forgiveness is the key.C. Here are some ways to love your parents.D. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.E. Keep company with them.F. After that, share your feelings with your parents.G. Please remember parents are as important as friends.第二节完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)A 41 thing happened 42 me last Sunday.It was such a beautiful day 43 I drove to go for a look in the country.On the way back home, my 44 stopped.It was out of gas on a 45 road far from a town!

The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making only one loaf of bread? 38 Because it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is to keep trying. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule . The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully, these tips will give you a good start. 40 And don’t let a b usy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Understand your food better.B. Make three or four more instead.C. Ability is easily improved.D. Try new things.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. These are some of the questions to consider when planning.G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分50分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44.This question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46, they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. Even if it’s not 49 that youngmen should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen.Older people, tired and easily 53 fr om a day’s work, aren’t angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.If cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 56 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57. Shop assistants won’t bother to 58, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dange rously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 59 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small 60 to stop such “worsening”.41. A. something B.everything C. anything D.nothing42.
