Fm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge .part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're hot willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent， hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.25. What can mainly be learned from Paragraph 1?A. The importance of success.B. The meaning of success.C. The standards of success.D. The reasons for success.26. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. Succeeding in life.B. Putting in more time.C. Setting a practical goal.D. Being good at something.27. Why do successful people suggest doing what one loves?A. It takes a lot of time to succeed.B. One gives up his work easily.C. One tends to enjoy his work.D.Work makes one feel pain.28. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. One cannot succeed without time and practice.C. Being good is different from being great.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.CEnvironmental health is defined hs the control of the factors (因素）in the environment social well-being (安乐）.that may have harmful effects on people's physical, mental, or Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment , effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution (分配）of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success largely depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disaster's specific effects as quickly as possible.This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.29. Why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster?A.Victims may be in danger without immediate controls.B.Victims may be at the risk of losing their properties.C.Victims may be exposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals.D.Victims may be threatened by environmental health problems.30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Good preparations beforehand are vital,B. Rapid judgment is quite beneficial.C. Effective measures sound familiar.D. Slow responses sound ineffective.31. Whom is the book mainly written for?A. A researcher quite into environment health.B. An organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations.C. A possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency.D. A holidaymaker fond of the topic of effective management.32. Which of the following can re place the underlined word “priority” in Paragraph 4?A.Perfection.B. Preference.C. Possibility.D. Popularity-DIf you're trying to lose weight, stress makes changes to your brain chemistry in ways that make it hard to make healthful food choices and maintain self-control, a new study finds.Study volunteers who tolerated a somewhat stressful experience were 24 percent more likely to choose unhealthflul snacks afterward compared with volunteers who hadn't experienced stress.And researchers think they know why brain scans showed that the stressed people had changed neurological (神经系统的）connectivity between regions of the brain that process tastiness y make value judgments and plan for long-term goals.“Being able to regulate and control you r decision-making involves this complex interplay between different areas of your brain, ” said Todd Hare，the senior author of the study published in the journal Neuron. “There's not just one region or node (of thebrain) that turns on and off to establish self-control； they have to all work in unison together. Stress disrupts that synchrony (同步）.”Researchers found that stress changes the way different parts of the brain communicate with one another. A simple way to think of it is like “phone line con nections between the brain regions，” Hare said. “You could have a better or worse signal coming across that connection. ”The hormone cortisol (皮质醇）dialed up the activity from the part of the brain that processes tastiness, and strengthened connections between that area and the part of the brain that manages value judgments and decision-making. “ So you have a region shouting about taste, and it’s coming through loud and clear. Hare said.In addition，the more stress participants felt，the weaker the connections between the part of the brain that deals with long-term planning and the part that manages value judgments and decision-making. This meant their long-term goal of improving their diet was less of a factor in decision about what to eat.33. What may be the best title for the text?A. The more effort the better for a weight-loser.B. The less pressure the better for a weight-loser.C. The less effort the better for one on a diet.D. The more pressure the better for one on a diet.34. Why does a stressed volunteer more likely choose junk snacks?A. Because he has not set a long-term goal of improving his diet.B. Because he makes it hard to make good choices and maintain self-control.C. Because the connections between the related parts of his brain become split.D. Because stress makes ill effects on the communications between related parts of his brain.35. In which section of a magazine can we most possibly read the text?A.Food.B. Medicine.C. Health.D. Lifestyle.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人空白处的最佳选项。

洛阳市2018-2019高二上学期期中考试英语word版.2018.11.8

洛阳市2018—2019学年第一学期期中考试高二英语试卷(考试时间：120分钟试卷满分：150分)第一部分听力略第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AHere are some fantastic works that you can spare time to enjoy.I Stand Here IroningThe story is set in the working class home of the narrator(叙述者)，who comments that when her child Emily was born, they were poor. Her thoughts are about what she would have done differently while raising Emily if she had been more experienced. The mother is standing in the room, ironing and recalling the whole trip of her and her daughter's life. Her feeling that she is responsible for her daughter's suffering is the main idea of this short story.OdysseyOdyssey, a great poem, had been recited or sung for years and years before it was written down. It tells the story of old Greek war hero Odysseus’ dangerous journey home from the battlefield. He beats a cyclops through wisdom, chats with dead people, and faces the angry sea god before finally arriving home.The Chronicles of NarniaThe book has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Set in the kingdom of Narnia, a world of magic, beasts, and talking animals, the book narrates the adventures of various children. The main characters are all children from the real world, who are magically transported to Narnia, where they're called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil(邪恶).Of Mice and MenThis book follows two farm hands looking for work: the bright George and the disabled butbig-hearted Lennie, who doesn't know his own strength. The two men don't know the fact that even the simplest American dreams are often out of reach until the tale comes to an end. “though short, this novel can really make us feel sad and bring about our sympathy," said editor, Dawn Raffel.21.What ‘s the story I Stand Here Ironing about ?A. A mother's struggle for life.B. A mother's plan for the future.C. A mother's devotion to her family.D. A mother's guilty feelings for her daughter.22.What can we know about The Chronicles of Narnia ?A. It's a book series.B. It's a description of adults’ adventure.C. It's full of great fantasies.D. It's based on real events.23.Which can you choose If you're interested in stories from ancient times ?A. I Stand Here Ironing.B. Odyssey.C. The Chronicles of Narnia.D. Of Mice and Men.BI'd been asked to go to an editor’s office with the old pram “we have a story we think you'd be perfect for”. Here was the topic: We want you to write about how middle-aged men have no friends. Seeing that, I couldn’t help thinking, “excuse me? I have plenty of friends.? Then the editor told me there were all sorts of evidence out There to show how men, as they age, let their close friendships go, and that the fact can cause ill sorts of problems and have a terrible effect on their health.As I walked back to my desk in the newsroom —a distance of maybe 100 yards-1 quickly reviewed my friend list. First of all, there was my friend Mark. Wait, how often do we actually hang out? May he four or five times a year? And then there was another best friend from high school, Rory, and... I actually could not remember the last time I'd seen him.There were all those other good friends who seemed as if they're still in my life because we follow one another via social media, but as I ran down the list of those I'd consider real, true, lifelong friends, I realized that it had been years since I saw many of them, even decades for a few.By the time I got back to my desk, I realized that I was indeed perfect for this story, not because I was unusual in any way, but because my story was very, very typical. And as I looked into whatthat means, I realized that in the long term, I was heading down a path that was very, very dangerous. And I knew I need a change.24.How did the author react when he saw the topic?A. He showed an interest in it.B. He knew the editor was jokingC. He felt surprised and doubtful.D. He thought it was perfect for him.25.What did the author realize after walking back to the newsroom?A. He wasn't popular with others.B. He had let his best friends go.C. He had close friends in his life.D. He hadn't made any true friends.26.To make a change, what will the author probably do?A. Find a new job.B. Lead a different lifestyle.C. Make more new friends.D. Get back in touch with old friends.27.Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. It is hard to make lifelong true friends.B. Many men of his age have no friends.C. He is very different from other middle-aged men.D. Many people today consider friendships unimportant.COf all social organizations, family is the most natural one. To have a god partner, build a good nest and raise the young and the old, can give us a sound feeling of reassurance(安心) about life. Those without a family are carefree, but this freedom can sometimes be too hard to bear, for it can easily trap us in a feeling of rootlessness and emptiness.Man is a greedy animal caught by conflicting(冲突的)desires. He tends to think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, so he often finds himself unsatisfied with what he has and longing for what he has not. Thus he is caught in the confusion of whether to enter or escape the “besieged city” (围城). Most people, however, are willing to give up some freedom for reassurance. Those modem people who once abandoned their families for fashion are now returning to them in great numbers. The reason is simple: man is after all a social animal, and family, as a living cell of society, can allow man to achieve the fullest satisfaction of his social nature.A home is not simply a place. Rather it is more like a living thing, formed when two lives are united because of love. The longer they live together, the more this home becomes a living thing inwhich life experiences and fates(命运) are interwoven(交织), with the hard work and pleasure of raising children in most cases. Precisely for this reason, divorce can still causea severe pain of being tom apart even after their love has disappeared. If we always remember that our home is a living thing being able to feel pain and fear death, then we will perhaps be able to guard against some of the avoidable tragedies of family break-ups.So, let us treasure this home as we do a kind family member who spares no pains to protect us and our memories with her or his silent blessing.28.How are the people without a family likely to feel?A. They feel pleased about the fullest freedom.B. They feel secure about life.C. They feel unbearable of looking after children.D. They feel lacking in a sense of belonging.29.Which sentence may be close in meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph2?A. Gifts blind the eyes.B. Much will have more.C. Make hay while the sun shines.D. Great minds think alike.30.Why can divorce still cause a severe pain for the two lives?A. Because they hate the hard work of raising children.B. Because they no longer love each other.C. Because they are unsatisfied with what they experienced.D. Because they shared small but precious memories.31.What's the best title for the passage?A. On HomeB. To Besieged CityC. On MarriageD. To Constant LoveDHave you heard of the term “tweenager”? It's a slang word(俚语) used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old.Nowadays, More and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. The Disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It’s all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they've ever had before.Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It's a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.UK kids today are very media-and-computer literate(受过教育的).A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. With such maturity(成熟) at such a young age, it's no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion aware and concerned about their image. Many teenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious (反抗的）.Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from definitely marketing their products and services at children.32.Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A. Because children education is becoming more important.B. Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.C. Because it is better to study music from an early age.D. Because more companies are creating products and services33.What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Keep company.B. Reward. C Make up. D. Motivate.34.How do UK tweenagers today differ from previous generations?A. They have less effect on their parents.B. They are more worried about their careers.C. They have fewer life experiences.D. They know more about the world.35.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To teach a new word “tweenager”.B. To introduce a new phenomenon (现象) .C. To urge parents to care about their kids.D. To blame today's young people.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。

AIn a nation with a one-child policy it’s understandablefor parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. Are the children as truly weak as expected?The concern has been broughtinto a hit reality TV series —Hunan TV’s Dad!Where Are We Going? and Zhejiang TV’s First Time In Life. In both children as young as three have become new public figures(人物). In the show First Time In Life，children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks t o finish by themselves；the ongoing Dad show centers on five fathers and their childr en who are forced to live a sim ple life in poor villages far outs ide their comfortable city life.

In First Time In Life a y oung girl in Tianjin cries after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a p ancake.In the eyes of some people th ese kids always depend on ot hers and the reason is that the ir parents give them too much love.

Now sh e has the courage to do it all b y herself. ”The shows have led many par ents to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mothe r Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi a parenting exp ert in Beijing said giving kids a chance to do things for thems elves helps to raise their sens e of success which carries ben efits all through their lives. ”21.

Though not much c an be done about the first two things, there may soon be a sol ution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer! About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contract or, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would prod uce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smell ed like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first proto type (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes t he tomato “sauce”— a mix of tomato powder, oil and water a nd finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the vid eo doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that on ce the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 se conds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract an y pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronaut s. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the fo od container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as yo u can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for peo ple on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider sel ling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!28. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.29.NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ___ ____.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits30.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaDYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others k now how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admirat ion crosses over the line into jealousy (嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize th at one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurtin g your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. D on't let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently a nd you might be back to normal much sooner than you think. It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the pr oblem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealou s of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的), just take some time alone with them and let them know th at you've been feeling like there's been something coming bet ween you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunitie s to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that so mething you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open u p as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for e xample, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to sp end any time with you because of your being off with your ne w friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite hi m or her along the next time or block off one day a week for ju st the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution y ou decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own tal ents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This d estructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best frien ds into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a co mpromise. If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far y ou will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.32.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is ________.A.normalB.productiveC.destructiveD.ext reme33.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A.How to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.C.How to explain your jealousy to your friends.D.Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.There's always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or se lf development.D.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a sol ution.35.This passage is mainly intended for ________.A.female readersB.studentsC.teenagersD.b est friends阅读第二节（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。

I was selected and told that I was talented and that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most famous modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to about 1.75 metres I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺)because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn’t receive a call，I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short. I was depressed.Years later, I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.25.What was the authors attitude toward her dream as a model at a young age?A. Enthusiastic.B. Doubtful.C. Indecisive.D. Uncertain.26.What does the underlined word “ auditions ” in the fourth paragraph most probablymean?A.Audiences.B. Competitions.C. Tryout.D.

A “green” school is an environmentally friendly building that uses less energy by depending on earths natural resources for heat, light ,and power. Green schools have clean air, a lot of natural light, and renewable power source.'.New studies show that green schools are not only good for the environment, but good for you too! Kids in classrooms with a lot of daylight scored 25 percent higher on reading and math tests than students who studied in rooms with less natural light. Students in schools with more natural light took three to four fewer sick days than students exposed to artificial classroom lighting. The further study found that those students had less dental decay (龋齿）because they were exposed to more of the vitamin D produced by the sun.The Willow School in N. J. is a school that was built as a green building in 2002. Parts of the building are made wholly from recycled materials. To help trap heat, for example, building workers filled the walls with material from old blue jeans instead of the traditional insulation ( 绝缘物）made of chemicals. Every classroom has skylights to allow most sunlight, and solar panels(太阳能电池板）line the south end of the building. It uses about 70 percent less energy than a non-green school. This helps the school cut down on high energy costs.Kate Burke Walsh, head of the Willow School, says, “Sunlight has an impact—you’re happier. The clean, natural surroundings help both students and teachers”handle stress and stay relaxed and focused..." it’s a very calming atmosphere. ”29.The question asked in the first paragraph is used to________.A.show the writer’s curiosity about your schoolB.care about the environment of your schoolC.expect readers to give a clear answerD.introduce the main topic of the passage30.What is a green school like according to the passage?A.More trees are planted in the schoolyard.B.It makes full of natural resourcesC.No energy is wasted everywhere.D.The buildings are painted green.31.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3 ?A. A student at a geen school gets better grades.B. A green school absorbs more sunlight.C.How can students benefit from a green school.D.How a green school is beneficial to the environment.32.What’s the purpose of ding this passage?A.To change people attitudes on green schools.B.To introduce the advantages of green schools.C.To explain why green schools are popular.D.To persuade people to build green schools.DSpell checks are turning us into a nation of idiots with a third of adults failing to reach the expected spelling ability of an 11 -year-old child, a shocking study shows.A survey involving 1,000 adults aged between 16 and 77 found that 67 percent would reach Level 4 in Standard Assessment Tests ( ASTs) , while less than half (44 percent) would achieve Level 5. Fifteen percent of the adults tested even failed to reach Level 3, which is below Level 4 一the expected level of children at age 11. Experts blamed the poor showing of the adults on the popularity of tools such as spell check and auto-correct, which both play an important role inmodern-day living.The study asked adults to complete Key Stage 2 spelling tests designed to judge the performance of children aged 10 and 11, as they reach the end of primary school. But the test spelled trouble for many of the adults tested. The study was charged by King Digital Entertainment, makers of popular mobile games such as Candy Crush. People taking part in the test were asked to spell 35 different words taken from SATs spelling papers from the past three years. In a test which imitated real exam conditions. “Phenomenon”and “unnecessary”were among the words spelled wrong by more than half of those participants. Other words which fewer than half were able to spell included rhythmic(42 percent) and jewellery (49 percent).Susie Dent. Lexicographer，(字典编纂者）and resident word expert on TV show Countdown. believed the results were partly down to the popularity of tools such as spell check and auto-correct. She said, “The result is disappointing. It suggests that the ability to spell is losing its importance in our daily lives. Modem tools like spell check and auto-correct encourage us to switch off from learning, leading to satisfaction or, at worst，indifference. “33.What level should a pupil reach when he finishes primary school according to theauthor?A. Level 2B.Level 3C. Level 4D.Level 534. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph?A.The popularity of tools such as spell check and auto-correct.B.The importance of spelling in our daily lives.C. A modem communication tool like spell check.D.One third of adults’ failing to reach the expected level for an 1135. What’s the best title for this passage?A.Is automatic spelling check a disaster?B.Auto-correction inspire people to learn moreC.Is adults’ ability lower than children?D.How to improve your spelling levels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人空白处的最佳选项。
