新疆兵团农二师华山中学2015届高三英语上学期学前考试试题
某某兵团农二师华山中学2015届高三英语上学期学前考试试题I卷第一节(共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分)阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety－five would have the same effect. Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 21．According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT________.A．sounds made by animals themselvesB．ocean drillingC．underwater earthquakesD．the breaking of ice fields22．Which of the following is true of whales？A．They won't be confused by noises.B．They are deaf to noises.C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by highlevel noises.D．Their hearing will be damaged by highlevel noises.23．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect sea animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.BInternational Book ClubHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new booksthrough the post？Here at the International Book Club，we alreadyhave many members buying books from us by mail.Immediate benefits：•As a special offer，you may choose any reducedprice booksfrom our new members’ book list，to the value of $6 in total(plus postage and packing)．By doing this，you will save pounds on the publishers’prices.•Tick the box on your form to order a free watch.•If you rep ly within seven days，we will send you another free gift carefully chosen from our book list by our staff•Order a DVD from the many on offer in our list，at half the recommended retail price.When you’ve joined：As a member，you’ll enjoy savings of between 30% and 50% off the publisher’s price on every book you buy，and what’s more，they’ll come straight to your door.Your free club magazine arrives once a month，to keep you up to date with the latest bestsellers.This means that every year we offer over 1,000 bo oks to choose from.On the Internet，you can find all our titles for the year on our exclusive members’ website.Being a member：All we are asking you to do while you are a member is to choose four books during your first year.After that，you can decide on the number of books you wish to take.In each of our monthly club magazines，our experienced staff choose a Club Choice book—a work of fiction or a reference title which they feel is particularly worth buying，and which is offered at an extraspecial price.How ever，if you do not want this book，just say so in the space provided on the form.We will always send the book if we do not receive this.So，return your application form today，but hurry—it’s not every day we can make you an offer like this.To apply to become a member，all you need to do is simply fill in the enclosed form and return it in the postagepaid envelope supplied.Before you know it，your books will be with you.Please don’t send any money now，as we will send you your bill with the books.And remember，you have up to a fortnight to decide if you wish to keep the books you have ordered.You should then either return the books or send your payment.24．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the benefits of being a club member?A．Get four books for free in the first year.B．Order a free watch.C．Get a gift for nothing.D．Order a DVD at a low price.25．Every month the club provides a free club magazine in order to________.A．let readers know the number of books to be soldB．keep readers well informed of recent bestselling booksC．make readers know the club’s developmentD．attract more and more readers to join the club26．If a book is worth $100，how much will a member probably save if he buys one?A．$20.

According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．until n ow it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mysteryC．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determinedD．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases29．Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain30．What does the underlined word “perspicacious〞 in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.C．Popular. D．Active.31．The following paragraph will most probably talk about________.A．the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brainsB．the relation between human brains and musclesC．scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD．how to make your brain smarter through selfdevelopmentDA winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations. Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bagson beds of ice, hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite, while sipping cocktails (鸡尾酒) inglasses also made of ice.A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway, the Quebec Ice Hotelhas attracted 600,000 curious tourists, including 30,000 who stayed overnight, since openingseasonally 11 years ago. Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin, dozens of couples will exchange vows(誓约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel, sculpted entirely from blocks of ice withseats covered in furs.Average temperatures fall below minus 20 degrees C (minus four F) in winter, but inside the hotel's36 rooms it is relatively cozy. Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator, trapping bodyheat inside. Each room is uniquely decorated, using designs created by Quebec architecture students.Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses.First-time guests of the hotel, however, are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping insub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing. This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed upwith a bricks and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages for one-nightaccommodations ateach. Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200 US dollars per person.The 3,000-square-metre (32,300-square-feet) buildings take six weeks starting in December tobuild, using 15,000 tonnes of snow and 500 tonnes of ice, at a cost of some 750,000 US dollars.Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening, the hotel will close on March 27 and then melt awaywith the arrival of spring.32. What is true with the ice hotel?A. 630,000 people have visited it.B. 30,000 people visit it each year.C. It has stayed open for many years.D. Wedding ceremonies are often held there.33. What can we learn about the hotel rooms?A. It can be -20°C inside.B. The temperature is always below 0°C.C. The rooms all look alike.D. Each room costs $200 per night.34. First-time guests are advised to stay there only one night because _____.A. they may not be able to stand the coldB. their other night is with an ordinary hotelC. new guests have less advantages over old onesD. the first-day service is just for a test run35. If you choose to visit the ice hotel during the Christmas season, you'll find _____.A. it doesn't exist at allB. it is just being builtC. most of its rooms are vacantD. it is crowded with guests第二节 (共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
新疆生产建设兵团第二中学高二英语上学期期中试题
2016-2017学年第一学期高二英语期中考试试题第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AIt’s exciting to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now, or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting. We asked top scientists to share their predictions on what the world will be like in a century. If they’re right, the 2114 is going to be really cool.1. Robots will do your chores and moreRobots will be doing most of our jobs, from building homes to teaching math. There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas. In the future they will be more complicated and useful. Unfortunately, with robots taking all the jobs, unemployment will be high.2. You will read minds.Speaking of being social, we will communicate in an entirely different way. Forget texts and emails. Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word. We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us. (Instead of pressi ng “start” on the microwave, you could just think “start.”) Meanwhile, chips implanted（植入)in our brains will improve memory and intelligence.3. Your car will drive youToday, around 30,000 Americans die in car accidents each year. One hundred years from now, accidents will be a thing of the past. According to Mark Safford, consultant or the U.S. Department of Transportation, future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds.4. You will eat fake meat.Raising animals is not an efficient way to produce food, and it harms the environment: Cows, chickens, and pigs eat a lot, and then we have to deal with all that poop（粪便). What’s more, that poop can rise up poisoning lakes, rivers, and streams. Today, scientists can “grow” meat in a lab from animal cells, but it’s expensive and not very delicious.In the future, they will have perfected the process. You’ll order hambu rgers that come from factories, not cows. Scientists may even find ways to make lab-grown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing.1．According to the passage, what is likely to happen when robots become more common in the future?A. People will be much lazier.B. More people will lose their jobs.C. People may become physically weaker.D. More people may become less intelligent.2．According to the passage, in the future cars will be__________.A. less popularB. more expensiveC. much easier to operateD. much smaller and lighter3．Future meat will be ________.A. much more affordableB. less tasty but healthierC. more organic and deliciousD. more environmentally friendly 4．What is the passage mainly about?A. The history of human life.B. The predictable future life.C. The development of science.D. The latest scientific findings.BThe USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world saw the great peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?First, one major cause of the departure among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to hunger. Another was politics. Many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the failure of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to make a new start in America. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling out for labour, and pay and conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and develop commerce. There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace.As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally awful fate of the American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a only 488000 free blacks.Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to the ambitious and the energetic who are ready to commit themselves to the land that gives them a second chance.5. What is not given as a reason for emigration in the passage?A. The search for religious freedom.B. The search for adventure.C. Avoidance of military (军事的) service.D. Economics.6. The lives of 19th Century European peasants were difficult because ______.A. there was no shortage of landB. there was no peaceC. the population had gone downD. there were too many of them7. Which of the following can best summarize the whole passage?A. The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.B. The USA is a land of immigrants.C. Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.D. About one-eighth of non-native born Americans live in the USA in 1890.8. We know from the passage that ________.A. All people coming to the New Land was successful.B. All people came to the USA out of their willingness.C. Some people were forced to be brought to the USA.D. the story of the Native Americans was the saddest one.CEach time I see a balloon , my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl .

The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work， they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，the idea of the London Underground，the first subway system，was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays，but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed)， and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However，the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)， as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.13.What led the British government to build the London Underground？A. Traffic jams and pollution.B. Population and pollution.C. Overcrowding and traffic jams.D. The poverty and subway problems.14.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？A. It made the tunnels larger.B. It put fans in the tunnels.C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.15.The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “______”.A. be troublesomeB. become popular and fashionableC. keep up withD. seize 七选五：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。

AOur house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients at the clinic.One evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. He’s hardly taller than my eigh t-year-old son. “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room. I came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and there’s no bus till morning.” He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “I guess it’s my face (I)know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…” For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I could sleep in this chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, I talked with him. He told me he fished for a living to support his five children, and his wife, who was hopelessly crippled (残疾的) from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. Next morning, just before he left, as if asking a great favor, he said, “Could I come back and stay the next time?” He added, “Your children made me feel at home.”On his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and the largest oysters (牡蛎) I had ever seen. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.In the years he came to stay overnight with us and there was never a time that he did not bring us vegetables from his garden. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned how to accept the bad without complaint when facing the misfortune.21.

Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, andglue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries.

Gamirasu Cave HotelC“Selfie” (自拍) joins ranks of dictionary words.In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk, tripped on some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends on an online forum. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie.” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to linguistic experts at Oxford Dictionaries.On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self-portraits and the resulting shares on social media.So what does the choice of the word say about our culture? Mary Elizabeth Williams, writing in Salon magazine, says the word reminds us that contemporary culture is defined by our narcissism(自恋).Megan Jackson from a local newspaper points out a selfie may only focus on appearance.Selfies invite judgment based on appearance alone. What kind of cultural influence does this have on women? Erin Gloria Ryan on Jezebel says selfies teach young woman to obsess over their appearance and judge themselves on the basis of beauty rather than accomplishments. “They’re a reflection of the warped way we teach girls to see themselves as decorative,” said Ryan.In Slate magazine, Rachel Simmons has the opposite view. She argues that selfies are an example of young women promoting themselves and taking control of their own self-presentation. Think of each one, she says, as “a tiny pulse of girl pride —a shout-ou t to the self”.28. Which of the following is true about the first use of “selfie”?A. The Australian man created it to celebrate his friend’s 21st birthday.B. The Australian man created by chance when he got drunk and shared his photo online.C. The Oxford Dictionary used it to thank the creation of smart phone.D. The social media were so advanced that they made the word transmitted.29. The underlined word “tripped” in the first paragraph probably means“________”.A. traveledB. stepped lightlyC. fell downD. made mistakes30. Who holds a positive opinion towards selfie in the life of women?A. Mary Elizabeth.B. Megan Jackson.C. Erin Gloria Ryan.D. Rachel Simmons.31. The text is mainly concerned with ________.A. the introduction of the word “selfie”B. the choice of the word “selfie”C. the history of the word “selfie”D. the characteristics of the word “selfie”DPeople typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs (病菌) , a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country. Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”Carrico said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.”Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no e vidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried properly.Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Ca rrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet.“Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear unimportant, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.32. What’s the meaning of what Carrico told National Geographic in the second paragraph?A. People are more concerned about their health and begin to wash their hands.B. It’s important for people to wash their hands to keep healthy.C. Generally, people’s hand washing behaviors and perceptions are not correct.D. People like washing their hands very much.33. The figures in the sixth paragraph are used to show that __________.A. using hot water to wash hands has a bad influence on our planet.B. air pollution has become more and more serious.C. using hot water to wash hands is a waste of energy.D. people should pay more attention to the environment around us.34. This passage is organized in the pattern of __________.A. fact and opinionB. cause and effectC. definition and classificationD. time and events35. What can we learn from the passage?A. It’s necessary and useful for people to wash their hands frequently everyday.B. We can wash our hands with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature.C. Using cold water to wash hands is necessary and much healthier.D. Hot water can’t kill germs.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。

AThere are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics —a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink.

After the 4.8 m boat sank in 10 to 15 seconds, Mr. Gosnell decided to swim back to get help to Mrs. Herric k, who was holding on to its side. Mr. Gosnell, 42, said it was Mrs. Herrick’s calmness that saved their lives.“The last pocket of air in the nose of the boat was almost gone, with both of us holding on. But Colleen remained amazingly calm. We made the decision that because I was the stronger swimmer, I should go for help.”He swam against the water for more than an hour, broke two toes and ran on rocks to get help to save a drowning friend. Meanwhile, Mrs. Herrick, 53, said she counted stars and thought of her eight grandchildren. “I wasn’t afraid because I knew Mr. Gosnell,” Mrs. Herrick said.Mrs. Herrick was eventually found and picked up just over an hour after the boat sank. She was soon taken by ambulance to Middlemore Hospital. “When they came back and I asked if she had been found alive — they said yes — I just broke down. All that had been worth it,” Mr. Gosnell said.Eleven days before, on May 15, a Cornishman who saved a girl from a swimming pool on his wedding day has been called a hero by his wife.T odd Sweeney was preparing for the wedding ceremony when he saw a girl lying on the bottom of a swimming pool. The 40-year-old dived into the pool and resuscitated the teenager, who was believed to have suffered a heart attack. The youngster, who was part of a group from London, had turned blue. Three hours after saving the girl, who made a full recovery, Mr. Sweeney and his fiancée (未婚妻) Heather Bowden got married.5.

Water is heartless, but humans are not.C. It is dangerous for children to swim alone.D. It is important to mind your own business.CWhen we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind. Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five,Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.9. The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to _____.A. make a brief summaryB. introduce the topic of the textC. compare Ebola with cancerD. show the latest study of viruses10. What can we learn about Ebola?A. It is a newly discovered virus.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. It was named after where it first happened.D. It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.11. What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?A. What the Ebola virus is.B. The influences of Ebola.C. The treatments for Ebola.D. How the Ebola virus spreads.12. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.D. Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.DLimestone caves (石灰岩溶洞) often have some unusual rock formations. Rain runs through the soil and rocks on land to become groundwater. Sometimes the groundwater is located above a limestone cave. Drops of water find their way through tiny openings in the roof of the cave. Small particles of limestone from the roof are worn away as the drops of water travel. The water carries the particles along with it. Eventually the water evaporates (蒸发), leaving the limestone deposit (沉积物) behind. Over time, many drops follow the same path and add to the limestone formation bit by bit. By the time thousands of years have passed, all the tiny deposits add up to a large stalactite, which hangs down from the roof of the cave and points toward the ground.If the drops of water fall to the ground before they evaporate, the limestone formation starts to build from the floor of the cave upward instead and it is called a stalagmite. The rarest of all the cave formations occurs when a stalactite and a stalagmite form separately over time, but then meet in the middle and join together. This kind of formation is known as a single column.Carlsbad Caverns in the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico is a world-famous collection of limestone caves. The vast 46,766-acre collection of caves is home to some of the most amazing stalactites and stalagmites on Earth.About 1898 a cowboy named Jim White saw smoke rising from the ground. When he went to find out the truth, he found it was not smoke but a large formation of bats (蝙蝠) flying upward from the caves. He began to explore the caves and saw the amazing rock formations. Later, the caves were photographed, and visitors began to come from all over the world tosee their natural beauty. Carlsbad Caverns became a national park in 1930. In 1995, it was named a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization.13. Paragraph 1 is mainly about _____.A. how a limestone cave formsB. how a stalactite comes into beingC. the water movements in a limestone caveD. the great influence of rain on a limestone cave14. A stalactite differs from a stalagmite in _____.A. the way of formationB. the speed of formationC. the size of rock formationsD. the number of rock formations15. What led to Jim Whi te’s discovery of the caves?A. He mistook the bats leaving the caves for smoke.B. He herded the cows to the caves accidentally.C. He tried to find somewhere to avoid the bats.D. He smoked the bats out of the caves.16. What do we know about Carlsbad Caverns?A. It became a national park in the late 20th century.B. It is an incredible natural wonder of the world.C. It was greatly destroyed by visitors before 1930.D. It became a World Heritage Site shortly after it was discovered.EThe Ox ford English Dictionary has just named its Word of the Year. From “Eurogeddon”, to “green-on-blue” and “Games Maker” to “Mobot”, many words that have crossed over into real usage had been shortlisted. The winner of the American edition (版本) is GIF —short for Graphics Interchange Format (图像互换格式). The winning word of the British edition is “omnishambles” — a situation that has been completely mismanaged because of careless mistakes.Language is as old as humans. In some ways it is surprising that languages change at all. It’s interesting to note that the English language has developed more rapidly in the last few centuries, adding many words to its vocabulary, than just a few centuries ago. As the language develops, it will be interesting to follow the influences of social events, new technologies, industries, products and experiences that bring more richness to our language.Over the last few years, the influence of the Internet has without exception been the greatest on our society. It has given us many words —maybe even taking over the English language. And this year is no exception. The American edition’s word this year is GIF.GIF refers to a type of format for pictures that can be used to create simple animations (动画). Have you seen a flip book or perhaps created one? These are books with a little picture up in the right-hand corner of each page and if you flip the pages quickly enough it appears as if the little pictures are moving. Similarly to create a GIF, you can put some pictures together. When you move these pictures rather quickly, your eyes see them as movement.GIF made its simple beginnings in 1987. While it is more usually pronounced with a hard g (like [ɡ+ in “great”), the programmers who developed the format prefer the use of a soft g (like *dʒ+ in“general”). Animated GIFs are now commonly seen on the Internet. This year, the animated Gangnam style GIF was extremely popular.17. The new words mentioned in Paragraph 1 are to show _____.A. the Oxford English Dictionary is worth buyingB. too many words have appeared on the InternetC. the English language is developing quicklyD. the English language has a large vocabulary18. The last but one paragraph is mainly about _____.A. what GIF is actually aboutB. why GIF has become popularC. how to make an animated GIFD. when GIF made its beginnings19. Which of the following words has a soft g?A. Dog.B. Sign.C. Garden.D. Gentle.20. What would the author most probably talk about next?A. Something about “omnishambles”.B. The importance of a dictionary.C. The future of the Internet.D. The history of languages.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的五个选项并填入空白处。

高二英语月考试题及答案-兵团农二师华山中学2015-2016学年高二上学期学前考试
2015-2016学年第一学期高二年级学前考试第一部分阅读理解（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）AA holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day (January 1), May Day and National Day as legal (法定的)holidays , as it was on Oct.1,1949 that the People’s Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress has declared several days as legal holidays such as New Year’s Day (January 1), Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington’s birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrated special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.In the United States, banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday. When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is usually observed. Schools and organizations often observe days known as traditional holidays, although schools and business do not close then. Those holidays include Valentine’s Day and Halloween.1．In the sentence “China observes New Year’s Day (January 1)’’, observe means ______A. celebratesB. praisesC. spendsD. cares2．From the passage we can infer that _______A.

SundayB. the followingC. the following TuesdayD.the following MondayBWhen I was in junior high school, what my friends thought of me was real important to me. During those, years, I grew much taller than most of my classmates. I didn't want to be laughed at for my unusual height, so I went along with the crowd who would play jokes on other kids at school. Of course, the jokes were directed at others and not at me.Once my friends and I put IcyHot (止痛贴) in the shorts of one of the kids on the basketball team. Not only was he terribly embarrassed, but he also had to go to the school nurse' s office.My father didn' t think that my behavior was funny, He reminded me about the golden rule: to treat others as I would like to be treated. What I was doing was hurting other kids, and in turn hurting my reputation (名声) as someone to be looked up to. My friends were looking up to me because I was tall, but what did they see ?He wanted me to be a leader who was a good example to others. He told me over and over again to be the leader that I was meant to be -- to be a big man in my heart and actions, as well as in my body. I had to question myself whether or not it was important to be the kind of leader and person my father believed I was inside. I knew in my heart that he was right.Once I focused on being the best that I could be at basketball and became a leader in the game, I took my responsibility (责任) to set a good example more seriously. I sometimes have to stop and think before I act, and I make mistakes sometimes everyone is human. But I continue to look for opportunities where I can make a difference, and to set a good example.5.The author played jokes on other kids because he .A. hated them very muchB. wanted to direct people' s attention to othersC. wanted to be a leader in his classD. thought it was just funny6.The underlined phrase "looked up to" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. listened toB. taken care ofC. thought highly ofD. left out7.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author .A. was not good at basketballB. changed his fatherC. was a careless personD. took his father's advice8.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Go on to Make changes.B. Good Reason to Look up.C. A Good Example to followD. Say No to Harmful Jokes.CRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Mostof them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use connections.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair." To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others --- an automatic review for you.9.How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be upset.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.10.If you can't remember someone's name, you mayA. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you11.When you meet a group of people, it is better to rememberA. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible12.What does the text mainly tell us?A. How to recite and repeat names.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of social skills.D. Tips on an important social skill.DThe Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffel’s was chosen.However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people — including many well-known writers and painters at that time — were fiercely against its design.Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the world’s tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isn’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天线), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height.Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.13.The passage mainly tells us ________.A. some information about its designB. the history of the Eiffel TowerC. what the Eiffel Tower was used forD. how it became one of the symbols of Paris14.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A. Many people couldn’t accept the Eiffel Tower at the beginning.B. It was the world’s tallest building for hundreds of years.C.A journalist rode down from the Eiffel Tower in 1954.D.The Eiffel Tower was saved because of its height.15.The French Revolution took place in _______.A. 1889B. 1923C. 1789D. 1930第二部分完型填空（共20题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出适合填入对应空白出的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项图黑。

Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) escape. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making thesame mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.Scientists believe that one part of the brain helps animals process information abou t others’ mistakes. Cells(细胞) in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in discovering mistakes.To investigate（调查）the brain’s response(反应) to mistakes in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists watched individual cells in the animal’s brains.When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in t he second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey’s own mistakes.Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s mistakes. ―You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.‖ Ellen de Brujin, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.41. According to Paragraph 1, animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakes______.A. helps them to survive betterB. used to be ignored by humansC. is being lost because of humansD. ensures that they will never fail42. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see ______.A. animals can avoid the same mistakesB. which part of the brain is more activeC. how the brain processes information.D. how the brain responds to mistakes43. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to _____.A. the same buttonsB. the monkey’s brainC others’ mistakes D. one’s own mistakesB篇TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ----5 Days Los AngelesDay 1 Los Angeles.

Today it has become almost as importantto every family as food and water! This year, theWorld Wide Web has turned 25 years old. Whatmany people don’t know is that the web was at firstcreated to improve communication betweenthousands of scientists in Switzerland.In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-oldBritish physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet), allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee’s boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them.In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers.Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use — a free open software. His wishes soon came true.Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.47. The World Wide Web was created to _____.A. help people get information easily and quicklyB. support the development of mobile technologiesC improve communication between scientists at CERN.D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate48.
