2018-2019学年高二英语人教版寒假作业：第二天（含答案）第二天单句语法填空1、We’ve been looking at the houses but haven’t found__________ we like yet.2、He is a very serious man. He __________(rare) smiles.3、I can tell__________ his accent that he is from the south.4、I often__________(agree) with him about what we ought to do,but we still get along quite well.5、Great changes __________(take) place in our school in the past two years.阅读理解6、Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1.Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.”This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when o ne is “done with school”—it's actuallya lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.”I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to lear n to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,”as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children —by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.1.What does the underlined word “pique”in the text probably mean?A.Change.B.Awaken.C.Balance.D.Prevent.2.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Supportive.3.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.4.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A.Health.B.Culture./doc/179846839.htmlcation.D.Popular science.7、The history of vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) in the U. K. dates back to the early 1900s. Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the U. K. , known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the U. K. and became more successful than Booth.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the U. K. became such a success that “to hoover”quickly became equal to vacu uming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War Ⅱ, however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the center of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.Advances to upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the U. K. continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. Despite the fears that consumers would not be prepared to accept the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the U. K.As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. are expected to become even more energy-efficient.1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Hoover entered the U. K. vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.B.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were more advanced than Booth's.C.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were very popular in the U. K. market.D.Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the U. K. than in America.2.What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?A.Decorating the vacuum cleaners.B.Making the vacuum cleaners moreefficient.C.Lightening the vacuum cleaners.D.Collecting dust.3.What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?A.It was only used by the upper class.B.Its design allowed the user to work around it.C.It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.D.Its price was extremely high at the time.4.We can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners _____.A.were so popular that they could fulfill all U. K. customers' demandsB.were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleanersC.were not accepted by U. K. customersD.were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the U. K. 完形填空8、It happened to Susan Black in a cold winter. Everything seemed ina 1 those days. Both her parents suffering from depression,sending fora 2 became a common practice. As a woman in her 40s,it wasa 3 job to be a teacher of 30 first-graders, who were always 4 ,and she’d tried all sorts of methods, but 5 to get them quiet in class...Misfortunes were 6 one after another. After a long and tiring day at work, Susan dragged herself along, 7 towards the parking lot.

2018-2019学年高二上学期英语寒假作业12
2018-2019学年高二年级寒假作业英语学科（第十五期）完成时间：2019年2月17日（正月十三）星期日班级学号_______ 学生姓名__________ 家长签字________第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe human beings seem to be facing a crisis (危机). After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk right now.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything”, there’s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novele tte, that “something” is our consciousness. “AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions —— Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?” she once said. In other words, computer programs don’t have a choice to say “no”. They probably don’t even know what a “choice” is —— all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. “A machine couldn’t have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. “It’s human im agination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machine——which works by fixed rules only——can't do, at least for now.”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably “co nsider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”, he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1 will learn to use each other’s talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we’ll have more time to create, think, and be busy with “being human”.29. What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang?A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.30. What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A. Intelligence.B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules.D. The ability to make choices.31. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Competed withB. Taken control ofC. Been more successful thanD. Influenced32. What could be the future of AI according to the author?A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.BShortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew——family, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents’ marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn’t even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security(安全). I will never forget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 a.m., a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my life——graduations, entering university, getting a good job——I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.33. Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?A. We were waiting for the Chinese men.B. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all.C. It was safe to stay there for night.D. We had no other place to go.34. How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?A. Ashamed.B. Shocked.C. Amused.D. Nervous.35. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.B. It’s the timely help to someone in need that matters.C. It’s a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1.It's implied but not stated in the passage that ________ .A.many other countries are facing the same problemB.white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers。

Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫树) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fal l and note the poplars’ (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter.

In such circumstances, people may tend to feel guilty about paying attention to their personal happiness, especially if others seem less happy than they are.②__________The Oxford English Dictionary describes selfishness as “the quality or state of being selfish; lack of consideration for other people”. This suggests that selfish people are mainly concerned with their own personal gain and pleasure. Yet the science of happiness shows that these characteristics are not generally associated with happy people at all.Spread happiness. ③__________The longitudinal analysis of data from the Framingham Heart Study has shown that our happiness is affected by those we are socially connected to. In this study, happiness spreads from one individual to their friends by up to three degrees of separation.Happy people are generous. Some researches suggest that far from being selfish, happy people are more likely to be generous and kind. The effect was also evident in third-grade schoolchildren. ④__________Self-care is not selfish. In Appreciative Health Care Practice, a guide to compassionate person-centered care, the authors explain that the concept ofself-caring is the opposite of selfishness. ⑤__________Once an individual has ensured his or her own self-care, he or she is more able to naturally extend care to others. This principle surely applies to all of us, whether we have professional roles in health care, education, or business, or care for friends, family, or people in our communities.A .What’s “selfishness”?B. Happiness means selflessness.C. When you feel happy, spread your happiness.D. They are more selfless when they feel happy.E. The science shows that happiness spreads in the same way as a virus.F.

They should be able to fix it within a few hours, they say. But for now, the power is out.When I was a boy, a power cut was an adventure. We’d light candles and eat ice cream, based on theassumption that without power to run the freezer it was going to melt anyway. My dad always used power cuts as an opportunity to talk about the good old days when he did his homework by fireplace light.These days a power cut is more annoyance than adventure. There isn’t a lot we can’t do thanks to modem technology. No lights? No problem—my cell phone has a flashlight app. In the middle of watching a good movie? You can probably pick up where you left off through that movie service you have downloaded on your tablet. Can't cook? Use vour cell phone to get a pizza delivered. A nice slice of warm pizza will go perfectly with all that ice cream you have to eat.Of course, technology can only take you so far in a real crisis. Honestly,we’d be in pretty rough shape if this power cut went on for several days. And if it were the middle of a cold winter,I don’t have any way to provide heat.I have three flashlights,but since I don’t have any batteries for those flashlights I don’t think that counts.Thankfully, the power is going to be restored to us soon. I’m grateful for this little reminder of the significance of the Boy Scout axiom : be prepared. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up some candles to go with all those matches, and some batteries to go in those flashlights. What about you? Is there something you cando on this bright, sunny day today to prepare yourself and your family for the dark, unpleasant possibilities of tomorrow?1.Why was there a power cut in the authors area?A.Electricians got hurt in the truck accident.B.A power pole might be knocked down.C.The power company was checking the line.D.The residents carried out routine repair.2.By mentioning his childhood life, the author aims to show that _____.A.a power cut used to be an adventureB.he enjoyed ice cream at an early ageC.his father was fond of telling storiesD.his father took advantage of the power cut3.How does the author find the power cut at present?A.It is adventurous but beneficial.B.It frequently happens but interesting.C.It is kind of annoying but affects life little.D.It rarely occurs though theoretically possible.4.What does the author really want to say in Paragraph 4?A.The present power cut went on for several days.B.Cold winter added trouble to the present power cut.C.People are usually in a rough situation during a power cut.D.A power cut can bring us disadvantages at times.5.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.Be prepared for a rainy day.B.One false step will make a great difference.C.Don’t empty the water jar until the rain falls.D.Human fortunes are as unpredictable as weather.完形填空8、 Ivonette Balthazar is a 67-year-old grandmother.
