I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.If you were here,all my trouble would be over.I know you would dig the plot for me,if you were not in prison.Love,Dad Shortly,the old man received this telegram:“For Heaven’s sake,Dad,don’t dig up the garden!!That’s where I buried the GUNS!!”At4am the next morning,a dozen FBI agents（联邦调查局）and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.Confused,the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened,and asked him what to do next.His son’s reply was:“Go ahead and plant your potatoes,Dad.It’s the best I could do for you from here.”No matter where you are in the world,if you have decided to do something deep from your heart,there is nothing that can stop you from doing it.It is the thought that matters,not where you are or who you are.24.Why did the old man write a letter to his son?A.To show his love for him.B.To ask about his situation.C.To tell about his trouble.D.To give him some advice.25.The police officers dug up the old man’s garden_______.A.to search for some goldB.to search for some gunsC.to offer him some helpD.to give him a surprise26.After the police officers left,the old man felt_______about what had happened.A.puzzledB.worriedC.satisfiedD.excited27.We can infer from the story that the son is______.zyB.honestC.cleverD.braveCWhen it comes to helping developing countries,we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals,buy food and medicine,or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives.However,it's far from enough.We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer,which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia.The laptop which Mr.Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops.One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily.As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries,the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power just as easy as setting a clock.This special laptop computer will cost less than100US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to produce as many as15million laptop computers in the first year.The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet.These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately,but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again in the UK and probably in many other countries too,millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.The waste crested by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment,so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time.We will reduce the waste we produce and help others,in other words,we will be able to"kill two birds with one stone"and that is always a good thing.28.The underlined phrase"wind up"in paragraph2means.A．吹风B．给……上紧发条C．拆开D．带走29.The laptop computer that Mr.Negroponte has designed.A．will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB．has a special handle to access the InternetC．is cheap and can run with extra powerD．can be helpful to find the people's own solutions30.Mr.Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to.A．illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB．tell us what high technology can help peopleC．show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD．give an example of how to help developing countries31.Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A．We need to think about more ways to help people in developing countries，not just throw money at the problem.B．We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C．We should think about giving help to developing countries by giving them all we have.D．We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.DGetting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing.However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By1538,the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the king of England in1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry IV,King of France,was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the advantage of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the18th century.Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World WarⅡ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea:clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.32.The kings of France and England in the16th century closed bath houses because.A.they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC.they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD.they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease33.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A.disapprovingB.Curious.C.Approving.D.Uninterested.34.How does the passage mainly develop?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of importance.35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the role of dirt.B.To introduce the history of dirt.C.To call attention to the danger of dirt.D.To present the change of views on dirt.第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)Nowadays more and more Chinese parents invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad.With countless difficulties to face and solve while studying abroad, overseas students should pay attention to the following things.●Adjust mental attitudes.Experts consider psychological preparation as the most important thing for students studying abroad to consider.___36___●Adapt to new learning methods.Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic exam-oriented education style.They will face changes in the educational system while studying abroad.___37___●Be willing to communicate.With no relatives or friends by their

kind and are willing to help them.●___39___Students should ask related teachers to help make plans consistent with their practical condition.Learning plans require students to hold on to the primary direction of their overseas studies and arrange learning content for each course and semester.After the plan is made, they should strictly keep to it.●Develop self-motivation for learning.Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class.___40___So studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.A.Students must know they are going abroad to study and not for leisure.B.Try to find more solutions to adjusting to the open education.C.Make and stick to learning plans.D.However,Chinese children are used to teacher-centered education.E.They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations.F.Help children with financial planning.G.Students should prepare themselves for the school完型填空（共20小题；每小题 1.5分，满分30分）When Dave was eighteen,he bought a secondhand car for200dollars so that he could travel to and from work more__41__than by bus.It

London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an interesting experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs（出租车）, which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. While British people are famous for being polite and reserved, London taxi drivers are well known of their willingness to talk.Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab moves off they are captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi drivers to stop talking.“They’re self-confident and free thinking,” says Malcolm Linskey, the author of a history of taxi drivers in London. “They answer to nobody but themselves and that comes across in their conversation.”They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. That’s why Ken Living-stone, the mayor of London, is planning to make taxi drivers discuss their fares with customers before they take a ride.Drivers agree that their fares are expensive. That’s because their black taxis cost more than other cars, they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world.Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver, that person has to pass a test known as“The Knowledge”. This involves memorizing the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London. The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the shortest distance between any two destinations within this area.It can take up the three years to pass “The knowledge”. Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London, taking careful notes of popular destinations before finding the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often handed down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize routes they will need to know when it is their turn to do “The Knowledge”.The effect of this is to make London taxi drivers experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research by scientists at the Institute of Neurology in London found that the hippocampus—the part of the brain that remembers things—was larger and more developed in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads, so their brains grow bigger. 1．Taking a taxi in London is an interesting experience for tourists because of the following statements except that _______.A．the special black cabs can’t be found in other countriesB．the drivers are polite and reservedC．the drivers are talkativeD．the drivers are self-confident and free thinking2．Taking a taxi in London is very expensive because _________.A．the drivers answer to nobody but themselvesB．the drivers can discuss their fares with customers before the rideC．the drivers are the most qualifiedD．the black cabs are the safest3．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．London has the most expensive taxis in the worldB．“The Knowledge”is a test that can be done easilyC．trainee taxi drivers are not often seen on the streetsD．many taxi drivers tend to make their children taxi drivers4．London cab drivers have bigger brains because _______A．they are experts at their jobB．they have many streets and routes in their mindsC．their hippocampus is larger and more developedD．their heads are biggerBAn unhealthy obsession (着迷)with celebrity(名人) culture is damaging the study success of British students, a survey of teachers found last Friday, with celebrity couple the Beckhams their favorite. Many students are dropping their study to seek the chance of fame instead, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) survey found. .Almost two-thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity most pupils wanted to copy while more than half of students wanted to be pop stars.The celebrities students wanted to be most like, the survey said, were Los Angeles-based David and Victoria Beckham, Britain's most famous couple. Soccer player "Beckhams" topped the poll (民意测验), with more than half the teachers saying their students modeled themselves onhim. In second place, with almost a third of the poll's vote, was his 33 year-old wife and pop star "Posh."A majority of teachers said it was television "stars" and a media fixation with celebrities, celebrity culture that negatively impacted the their pupils. Almost half of the 300 teachers polled said pupils tried to look like or behave like celebrities they most admired. What they feared is that girls particularly dressed in "unsuitable.”"We are not surprised about infiltration(渗透) of celebrity culture in schools" the teacher Mary Boust said in a statement. "Celebrities can have a positive effect on students. They can raise students' desires and ambitions for the future."However, celebrity culture can cause the wrong opinion that celebrity status(地位) is the greatest achievement and the belief that other career choices are not valuable."5. The survey showed that________A. the British students studied hard.B. many students dreaming of being famous stars.C. Beckhams was a famous football player.D. the teacher thought it unnecessary to study hard.6. The underlined word ”modeled” refers to ______A. was fond ofB. hatedC. copiedD. wished7.

英语高二-历次考试读后续写
高二上周练二Even when you do your best to be careful and prepared, horrible things can sneak up on (悄悄接近) you.Lowry and Cummings got to know each other as wrestling teammates in college. Along with teammates Jackson and Harrison, they made plans to go “horn hunting”, that is, searching for horns that deer threw away each spring. It’s a popular local hobby and an enjoyable way to get outdoor exercise while people’re enjoying “the thrill of the hunt” in a low-key way without any real hunting. The horn hunting hike was no hurried decision. The young men were all experienced outdoorsmen. They brought bear spray (喷雾器) and firearms when they set off after Saturday morning wrestling practice.At first, the four boys walked together, but at some point, Lowry and Cummings got a little separated from the other two by about half a mile. That was when a terrifying nightmare became a reality as a bear sneaked up on Lowry and attacked him before he could take out his bear spray. Cummings desperately began to do what he could think of to save Lowry. First he yelled and threw things at the bear. When that didn’t work, he actually jumped on the bear, grabbed its ears, and tried to push it to release his friend.His efforts worked all too well. The bear turned the fierce force of its attack from Lowry to Cummings. Cummings could feel the bear’s jaws tearing through flesh down to his head, but bravery made him feel painless. He could hear when the bear’s teeth would hit his head and when it would bite down on his bones. Cummings fought back against the bear at first, but it quickly became apparent it would be a fruitless effort. The bear eventually stopped its attack. Finally, the bear left, and the two injured young men had to make their way five long miles down the mountain. Cummings, in particular, was losing blood fast and barely able to stand.Lowry shouted for help from his teammates. He managed to call 911 and was told to move to a place of safety and leave Cummings behind while then emergency responders went to help him. Once again, friendship and brotherhood saved the day. His two teammates got the signal and found them. They refused to even consider leaving Cummings alone. Harrison and Jackson carried Cummings on their backs down the mountain, helping to save his life. They weren’t going to let one of them go down without help. They are friends, and they can do anything for each other.Emergency responders met them as they neared the foot. A helicopter took Cummings to the hospital, where Lowry later joined him by ambulance. While they were in the hospital, their wrestling team and coach drove to the hospital to be there with them. As horrifying as the incident was, there was something so inspiring about these young men. It took courage to run into danger for the sake of a friend.高二上英语期中考试阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

高二英语下学期教学计划（通用19篇）
高二英语下学期教学计划高二英语下学期教学计划（通用19篇）高二是学生整个高中外语学习的关键时期，我们计划在高二上学期英语学习的基础上，以《英语新课程标准》为指导，课本内容为依据，继续拓宽学生的英语知识面，全面培养听、说、读、写，译五会能力，继续培养学生对英语文章的理解、分析和阅读能力，让学生在高中系统的学习中牢固地掌握英语基础知识，并具备一定的英语自学能力。
高二英语下学期教学计划篇1本学期我将在认真总结上学期工作的基础上，继续按照学校各处室和年级组的安排和要求，充分发挥自己的积极性和创造性，做好本学期的各项工作。
一、本学期的指导思想：1、要面向全体学生，关注每个学生的情感，激发他们学习英语的兴趣，帮助他们建立学习的成就感和自信心，使他们在学习过程中发展综合语言运用能力，提高人文素养，增强实践能力，培养创新精神。
2、突出学生主体，尊重个体差异，让学生在老师的指导下构建知识，提高技能，磨练意志，活跃思维，展现个性，发展心智和拓展视野。
3、让学生在使用英语中学习英语，让学生成为GoodUser而不仅仅是Learner。
让英语成为学生学习生活中最实用的工具而非累赘，让他们在使用和学习英语的.过程中，体味到轻松和成功的快乐。
高二英语既注重基础知识的考查，又强调能力的灵活运用。
为了适应这一趋势，提高高二英语的教学质量，在高二英语教学中我将常抓基础知识，有梯度地拓宽词汇，提高课堂效率，从而努力提高学生学习的自觉性、主动性与积极性，通过师生互动，更进一步提高英语成绩。
二、学情分析本学期本人担任高二21、23两个理科班的英语教学工作。
从学生高一期末考试情况来看，存在以下三方面问题：①有些学生在思想上、态度上放松或放弃的现象有所表露，不会读，更谈不上听得懂,从而导致破罐子破摔的现象。
②基础知识不够扎实，灵活运用语言的技能相对薄弱。
③运用能力不够强实。
学生的阅读能力、理解能力、分析能力、判断能力等均不能较好地适应考查要求。

选项。(共 20 小题, 每小题 2 分, 满分 40 分) A It was blazing hot, just like most July days. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream. It was an old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the tabletop. I sat down facing her a couple of tables away. “Poor woman,” I thought, “What does she get out of life? Why God let people live so long past their prime?” As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years... In minutes, the two of them were trembling with laughter. I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her hands sparking with gold rings. I was sad. She was laughing, smiling. I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall. I sat alone. She was sharing the day with a good friend. I was secretly worried about getting old. She was old, but it wasn’t hurting her. As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish question about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life than I was. Age has not bent her spirit. 21. From the passage we know that the ice-shop _________. A. changed a lot in the past B. had only a couple of tables C. started its business 70 years ago. D. had only women shoppers. 22. What is the meaning of the underlined word “prime” in this passage? A. miserable life B. wonderful experience C. long career D. time of great strength, beauty, vigor(活力) 23. The writer implies all of the following except that _________. A. the old lady had lived a full and satisfying life B. the writer had more problems than the old lady C. the old lady was very lonely and sad D. the old lady had learned to enjoy the simple things in life 24. Which of the following is the conclusion the writer made about the old lady? A. She was more alive and sensitive to life than the writer. B. She considered the young man pitiable. C. She was to be pitied for her old age. D. People should not be allowed to live when they are too old. 25. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? A. To tell us the life of old people B. To show that old age does not mean being short of spirit. C. To show the difference between the old and the young. D. To make the reader have a pity on the old people.
