广东省汕头市潮南区2016-2017学年高二英语3月月考试题第二部分：阅读理解（共 2 节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）A“If you want to see something well, reach out and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin……Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel e verything on show.1. By touching things,___________. .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach outC. you can see things betterD. you can tell what colors they are2. Which of the following best serves as the best title of the story?A. Touching by FeelingB. To See or to FeelC. Seeing by FeelingD. Seeing Is Believing3. When people buy things in shops, they often _________ .A. try them on firstB. put their right hand on themC. just have a lookD. feel and touch themBMargaret, m arried with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－and I usually do, together with the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents w ould say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”4．Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______ ．。

ABelieve it nor not, ancient Chinese people had their own methods of heat preservation in winter.• “Wen Ding”, ancient rice cookerThe “Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, preserved heat by burning fuels like charcoal. The one unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Stone Age.• “Ran Lu”, ancient small hot potThe “Ran Lu” is a small-sized cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475-221 BC).• Bronze You, ancient kettleThe Bronze You, one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou, dynasties, could also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi province, had an opening where charcoals could be placed, allowing people to enjoy a hot drink.• Bronze Yan, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Van was made with a two-tier (双层的) structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-AD 220), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern day steamer.1. When did the “Ran Lu” begin to gain popularity?A. In the Zhou Dynasty.B. In the Warring States Period.C. In the Eastern Han Dynasty.D. In the Stone Age.2. One of the main functions of the Bronze You was to .A. place hot charcoalsB. pour hot waterC. keep wine warmD. hold charcoal ashes3.

When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading.She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.

She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Sahra is learning reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book.

They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”5. When did Helen first take up volunteering?A. After retirement.B. In high school.C. After work.D. In childhood.6. In what way did Helen help Sahra?A.

It is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larger than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over-fishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area, which will mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen, a no-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution, possibly making the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any other in the world.We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the CoralSea. To lose this last great marine wilderness world would be a loss for the whole world.9. According to the passage, why should we protect the Coral Sea without any delay?A. Because the Coral Sea, home to many species, will disappear soon.B. Because the Coral Sea is rich in natural resources like oil and gas.C. Because the Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef.D. Because the Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any other in the world.10. Once the Coral Sea area is declared n marine protected area by law, .A. it will surely become the largest marine park all over the worldB. no one will be allowed to there to have a dose look any moreC. from time to time people can still dump their rubbish around thereD. over-fishing, oil and gas exploration will be banned altogether there11. What is the attitude of the author towards the protection of the Coral Sea?A. Objective.B. Favorable.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.DTIANJIN, Nov. 23 (Xinhua)- Chinese scientists have signed a deal to establish a commercial animal cloning center in the northern port city of Tianjin, making the controversial science closer to mainstream acceptance.The plant in the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (TEDA), a government-sponsored business development park, will clone animals including sniffer and pet dogs, beef cattle and racehorses. Its main building is already under construction and due to be put to use in the near future, said a spokesman on Monday.With an investment of 200 million yuan, the center will be jointly built by Sinica, Peking University’s Institute of Molecular Medicine, the Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biomedicine, and the Republic of Korea’s Sooam Biotech Research Foundation.It will produce 100,000 cattle embryos a year initially, eventually increasing to 1 million, said Xu Xiaochun, board chairman of Boyalife Group, based in Wuxi. Chinese farmers are struggling to produce enough beef cattle to meet market demand, Xu said. The center, the largest ever worldwide, will also include a gene storage area and a museum, he added.Sc ientists have cloned mice, cattle and other animals since the world’s first cloned sheep, Dolly, was born on July 5,1996 iii Britain. Since 2000, Chinese scientists have cloned sheep, cattleand pigs. China’s first commercial cloning company was establishe d in September 2014 in Shandong with the birth of three pure-blooded Tibetan mastiff puppies.Before this, cloning in China was limited to scientific research. More and more companies have shown interest in investing in the technology for commercial use, especially animal husbandry (饲养).12.

AThere was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds。
She took them home and put them in a small cage，caring them with love. Luckily, the birds grew strong little by little。
Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds。
One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally。
The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage。
The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. So as he flew close，she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go weak，so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. It was her desperate love that had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his strong desire—needing to fly into the clear，blue sky。

The Boy Made It!One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

Half of the world’s beaches could disappear by 2100, a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change suggests.Michalis Vousdoukas, of the European Union’s Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, was the lead researcher. “Tourist ar eas which have sandy beaches as their main selling point will probably face strong consequences.” he said. Aside from economic value, beaches play an important environmental role. “Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. Th ey also protect the coast from the effects of storms, so without sandy beaches other inland environments can be affected by the effects of waves and saltwater entering,”Vousdoukas added.The main causes are rising sea-level and erosion (侵蚀) from storms, the study says, which warned of the near-disappearance of almost half of the world’s sandy beaches by the end of the century. Beaches in the United States will be “greatly affected”, as will shorelines in Canada, Mexico, China and Chile. In the U.S., beaches along the East Coast and the Gulf Coast will experience the most erosion.Michalis Vousdoukas and other researchers used satellite images to track the way beaches have changed over the past 30 years and patterned how global warming might affect them in the future. They found that West Africa will see some of the worst losses, where more than 60% of sandy coastline may be lost in countries such as The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Australia will also take a hit: when the total length of sandy beach projected to be lost is analyzed Australia would be hit the hardest, with more than 7,000 miles at risk.1. What mainly caused the disappearance of half of the world’s beaches?A．Over population and more tourism. B．Severe erosion and coastline losses.C．Sea-level rise and storm destruction. D．Global warming and climate change.2. Which country possibly loses more than half of sandy coastline according to the study?A．Chile. B．Australia. C．The Gambia. D．The UnitedStates.3. Why are beaches important to wildlife?A．They can provide habitats for species. B．They can block out waves and storms.C．They can be popular tourist attractions D．They can stop erosion from happening4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A．To make a comparison. B．To protect environment.C．To introduce beaches in the world. D．To explain a study published in thejournal.4. When homework and tests keep you up late at night, you may plan to make up for your lost sleep during the weekends. But is it useful?A study published in the journal Current Biology shows that the habit of sleeping in on weekends doesn’t fix the damage that has been done by a lack of sleep during the week. Even worse, it may damage your health.In the study, which was conducted over 10 days, 36 healthy young men and women with different sleep requirements were divided into three groups. The first group were asked to sleep nine hours a night and the second group five hours a night. The members of the third group slept for five hours on weekdays but rested as long as they wanted on the weekend.The researchers found that people who lacked sleep ate more snacks and gained weight quickly. However, this wasn’t the case for the first group.That could be partially due to the shifting of the biological clock and changes to certain body hormones, especially hunger hormones. In order to catch up on their sleep during weekends, people in the third group would eat later as a habit. So their biological clocks shifted, which also changed the production of hunger hormones.“The hormone leptin(瘦素) decreases appetite(胃口), while the hormone ghrelin(饿素) increases appetite,” explained US researcher Vsevolod Polotsky. “Sleep shortage causes leptin to drop and ghrelin to rise, so you’re hungry and eat more.”And even if they tried to sleep for as long as they wanted to during weekends, according to researchers, it was still not enough because they found it difficult to fall asleep.Moreover, short and insufficient sleep schedules will lead to an inability to change blood sugar and increase the risk of metabolic(新陈代谢) disease in the long term.1. Which of the following is true about the study?A．Participants were divided into two groups.B．Researchers studied 36 children and adults.C．It lasted for more than two weeks.D．Each group follow different sleep requirements.2. What does the underlined word “shifting” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．increasing B．lacking C．changing D．shortening3. Why may people without enough sleep eat more?A．They need to create more energy.B．There is less leptin in their bodies.C．They have a lower blood sugar.D．Their bodies produce less hormones.4. What can be a suitable title for this passage?A．Appetite Affects our Sleep QualityB．Sleeping in Causes Weight LossC．Catching up on Sleep Harms Our BodyD．Men and Women Sleep Differently5. The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970. Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others.Reduce, reuse and recycle all day longBuy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products—these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 1 . Recycle all the things you do use for the day.Rid litterMany groups use the weekend of Earth Day to clear roadways, highways and neighborhood streets.2 . And villages organize bag pick ups. Once the group has collected the trash and placed the recycled bags along the road, get the village public works department to pick the bags up.3 .There are many Earth Day song lyrics available on the Internet. Many follow well-known tunes. These make a fantastic classroom activity and help younger children to become interested in environmental topics.Engage others in conversation about your environment concernsDon't be bossy or pushy. 4 . Encourage them to respond and if they have no opinions or they seem to not know much, help them learn some more by imparting your environmental knowledge in a friendly and helpful manner.Remember: Every day is Earth DayAnything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day. 5 ; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice--every day!6. I had been a shy and quiet person; whenever I had to do public speaking, I would get _________, tremble (发抖), and turn red.

The girl felt great love for the birds.One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. So as he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go weak, so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. It was her desperate love that had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his strong desire—needing to fly into the clear, blue sky. Unwillingly, she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times.The girl watched delightedly at the bird. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.Remember, the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight; the best way to keep love is to give it wings!1. After the girl found the two birds, she ________.A. became frightened at onceB. began to treat them badlyC. greeted them happilyD. fed them and raised them2. Why did the girl grasp the stronger bird wildly?A. Because the girl disliked the bird any longerB. Because the bird wanted to fly alone.C. Because the girl loved the bird deeply.D. Because the bird intended to find some food.3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Catch what you can catch on your way to success.B. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.D. East or west, home is best.BToday, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking into pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!4. The text is mainly about_________.A. a strange manB. an unusual partyC. how roller skating beganD. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century5. People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he________.A. often gave others surprisesB. was a gifted musicianC. invented the roller skatesD. was full of imagination6. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?A. The roller skates needed further improvement.B. The party guests took Merlin for a fool.C. Merlin succeeded beyond expectation.D. Merlin got himself into trouble.CIt gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone.Bill Masters almost single–handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of th e market under Bill’s leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.7.

2016-2017学年广东省汕头市潮阳实验学校高二（下）期中英语试卷(J)副标题一、阅读理解（本大题共12小题，共3.0分）AMy folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette，Michigan．We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area．In the spring of 1948，when I was 6 years old，my parents bought a calf （小牛）to replace our cow，which had been killed the year before．So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby．We didn't own a truck，so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad's car with my 9-year-old brother Steve，and me．As you can imagine，the trip was a lot of fun for us kids．Later that summer，Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby's back．All went well unt.1the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run，with me holding on for dear life．I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground．Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture，so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby! When summer had passed，the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill Ur freezer I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day，because I have no memory of how it happened．All I knew was that the barn was empty，and that we had plenty of meat for dinners．I hadn't lived on a farm like my mother，so I didn't understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual．Livestock aren't meant to be pets，and most farm kids know and accept that truth．Whenever we had beef for dinner，I would tearfully，"Is this Tubby"This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared，"No more cows!"That made me feela little better about poor Tubby．1.The writer's parents bought Tubby so that ______ ．A. they would have more cows in the future．B. it would provide their children with milk．C. the family would have enough meat to eat．D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm．2.Which word can be used to describe the author's mom？______A.

desighed【小题4】by【小题5】that【小题6】seated【小题7】their【小题8】to symbolize【小题9】before【小题10】really【解析】41．But 考查连词．前边说为旅行者提供休息的地方不经常，洛杉矶机场却做到了，两句之间是转折关系，所以用but．42．the 考查关系．这里的idea是特指前文中给旅客提供休息的地方的主意，所以用定冠词the．43．was designed 考查被动．room与动词design之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态．44．by 考查固定短语．by the means 是固定短语．"通过…的方法"．45．that 考查定语从句．先行词是one在定语从句中做主语，所以用关系代词that引导．46．seated考查形容词．本句是用形容词seated在句中做figure的宾语补足语"就坐"． 47．their 考查代词．句意：另一个飞跃是为我们的旅行者提供机会和空间放松和减少他们自己的压力．their是指"他们的"．48．to

quiet and calmly．Soon the firefighterswill come and put out a fire．If it's a false alarm and there is no fire，your teacher will lead us back to the classroom．If you notice that whensomeone is missing and hurt，tell your teacher immediately．详解：1．with改为about 考查句意理解以及固定短语 talk with 意为：与…交谈；talk about：谈论，讨论；本句的意思是：我打算谈谈当火警警报响起时你应该做什么的事情；故用about．2．go改为goes 考查时态以及主谓一致根据上下文都使用了一般现在时可知，本文讲的是在通常情况下，当火警警报响起时，学生们需要注意的一些事项；故此处也应使用一般现在时；由于从句中的主语 a fire alarm 为第三人称单数，故此处的谓语动词用。
