高中英语真题：2016-2017学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect（反映）life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serioustype of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dyla n’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink（下沉）like a stone. For the times they are a-changin!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.21. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music22. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.23. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers24. What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.2.Books have tremendous power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books.For several years now, Maria Keller, a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute(分发) books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal.Today, at age 14, she has collected over 1.8 million books and hasshipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse(仓库) where they store and sort books. Maria believes that she can get support from even more people and help kids around the world to become better readers!25. We can know from Paragraph 2 that .A. Some of Maria’s classmates had no textbooks.B. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t have money to buy books.C. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t like reading at all.D. Some of Maria’s classmates couldn’t afford to go to school.26. According to the passage, which statement about Read Indeed is true?A. It collects and gives out books to poor children.B. It is an organization which sells books to children around the world.C. It raises money to buy books for children.D. It is a campaign which encourages children to read.27. What can we infer from what Maria says in Paragraph 4?A. She lives on selling books.B. Her original dream has been achieved.C. She will give up her mission of distributing books.D. The number of children who have no books has greatly dropped.28. Which word can best describe Maria?A. Optimistic.B. Smart.C. Brave.D. Strong-willed.3.When we know somewhere well，w e say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of o ur bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight .or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain h as maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of t he skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lotsof nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.29. Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C .People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands.31. We can learn from the article that_____________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body work.D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position32. We can infer from the article that .A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect4.It’s an ordinary morning，like all the others．But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm cl ock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee，light entering your room as the curtains open automatically，and a gentle back massage（按摩）provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now，according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s tempera ture, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事)that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的)world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud，a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.33. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers．C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.34. According to the text, in two decades, .A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation35. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of.二、未分类(共2题)1.Have you ever heard of an insect called the cicada(蝉)? 36 But theyhave an interesting internal clock that tells them when to go aboveground.Every 17 years, billions of the noisy Brood V cicadas(十七年蝉) will swarm(成群出现)to northeastern parts of the US, including New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. 37 But there are usually a lot less of them compared to the Brood V cicadas.38 According to Discovery News, these insects started their lives in 1999. And as their 17-year life cycle comes to an end, they go aboveground when their underground homes get warmer 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18℃) to be exact.Then the females will lay hundreds of eggs in trees, and after about four to six weeks, the mother and father cicadas will die. 39While they can be kind of annoying, these insects don’t harm humans, but they do make a lot of noise during their time aboveground. 40 However, since there are so many of the 17-year cicadas, the amount of laid eggs can sometimes harm small trees and bushes. But after this summer, these insects will mostly mind their own business until 2033.A. That sound is the male cicadas attracting the female cicadas.B. The cicada insects are common in summer, especially in August and can be found in July as well.C. There are other kinds of cicadas that come around once a year or every 13 years.D. The baby cicadas will go underground, and the 17-year cycle will start over again.E. As a matter of fact, people like to eat them in some cultures.F. Well, a special kind of these insects live underground in the US for most of their lives.G. This is what makes Brood V cicadas so special.2.Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 61 (help) if you say the words aloud. But th is often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have comeup 62 a new idea. They suggest 63 (draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!The researchers did a study 64 (base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 65 the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.When the time 66 (be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that , they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 67 they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 68 (good) job than those who wrote them.So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 69 (draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 70 (research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.三、完型填空(共1题)1.My husband, Rashid, arrived in New York on his own from India. He stayed in a 41 for a short time while 42 for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his 43 , he went out one day to do some shopping.

AThere are one billion homeless people living in our world today.The Homeless World Cup exists to end this, so we all have a home, a basic human need.The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international football tournament(联赛 ), uniting teams of people who are homeless to take a once in a lifetime opportunityto represent their country and change their lives forever.

These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps together. Welaughed together and we shared a love of music and fellowship.I had one pupil, Dan, who didn ’ t appear to get much out of the class. I neverhad eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reachthe main floor of the building, he moved worriedly as a blind person might do inunfamiliar condition.One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were sograteful that I was teaching the class. They said that my class was the high point of their son’ s week. Were they just being polite?A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than usual pulling intothe school parking lot. Ahead of me by one row of cars, and over to one side, wasmy student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building.He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anticipation of（希望着） his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see inclass all that Dan got from the class, it surely meant a lot to him. Dan didindeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it.Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remind them thatchildren can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they canbe learning at the same pace as those who are in the middle of the activity.When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too!Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to reach your students.Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what yourjob involves.25． The writer found her working with disabilities _______.A. boringB. confusingC. satisfyingD. challenging26． The writer has learned from Dan that ______.A. a teacher is sure to reach his studentsB. kids with disabilities need more loveC. students learn in different waysD. a students make achievements out of a class27． What can we learn from the passage?A.

The writer was impatient with Dan at first.28． What may be the best title for the passage?A. A student with disabilityB. Learning with DanC. Enjoying a lesson with childrenD. Sharing love with studentsCIf you want to express something so unbelievable that it must have been a special effect, you have a new word to add to your vocabulary.It ’ s “ Duang” , an onomatopoetic (拟声词) word which doesn’ t relate to any particular Chinese character and refers to a special effect.A video parody ( 恶搞 ) adapted from a shampoo commercial featuring Hong Kongactor Jackie Chan spread quickly online, leading Internet users to invent the new word.The video begins with Chan flashing his black, smooth hair, which would havebeen perfect except that it was not his real hair.Next, a self-satisfied Chan admits, to the repetitive, rhythmical sounds of“ Duang”, “ I refused to approve of this product when they first came to me becauseof my thin hair, but the director insisted, saying special effects could be usedto make my hair look healthy on the screen.Now you see, it’ s all special effects. It’ s not real.”The original advertisement became the target of punishment by the governmentfor over-spreading the effects of the shampoo after it was broadcast in 2004.“ Duang”has now become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like Chinese social network site among those crazy ones imitating Jackie Chan’ s speech in different situations.The actor’ s Weibo account was flooded with comments containing the word inthis sweeping online trend.The video came at a time when the famous movie star has been under publicattention after trying to save the ill image of his son, Jaycee Chan, whowas released from prison this week.Data from Baidu, the major Chinese search engine, also proved the phrase’ s popularity as it has been searched more than 586,000 times within two days.The word of geili’ s sudden rise in 2010 caught the attention of international media when it made up for the word’ s official translation－ geilivable－ to describe something cool or awesome.It ’ s not the first time that online word has become a regular vocabulary inChina.29． From the passage we know that the word“ Duang”was originally made .A. by some crazy Internet usersB. to refer to a kind of productC. by Hong Kong actor Jackie ChanD. to expresssome special meaning30． From the passage we know that the new word“geili”is .A. only popular in ChinaB. a cool and awesome wordC. used by ordinary peopleD. also widely used abroad31． What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To tell us online words have enriched Chinese vocabulary.B. To teach all the Internet users how to invent new words.C. To explain how Jackie Chan invented the popular word.D. To urge people to fight against the false advertisements.DDennis Sinar,51,a doctor from NewYork,is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job.“ I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years.I needed a recharge.” So he took a“ gap year ”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings,and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“ Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one, ” said Holly Bull,president of Princeton,N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also describedthe potential American market for gap years as a“ sleeping giant.”“ A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfortzone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience.His time studying Eastern medicine“ assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine athis old job, although he works fewer days.“ I use those experiences to providemy patients with more care,” he added.“And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said agap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefitthroughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makesgood sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.32． Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research33． The phrase“ sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ______.A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy34． What’ s George Garritan’ s attitude toward the“ gap year” ?A. Positive.B. DoubtfulC. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.35． What’ s the passage mainly about?A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.第二节（共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Instead, the 24-year-old law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. “If a woman goes for a job inte rview(面试) poorly dressed, she won’t get the job,” Lublin says. “But wi thout a job, she can’t afford suitable clothes.”So, with the money founded “Dress for Success” and began collecting women’s clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. “So many women h ave clothes lying around that they will never wear again,” one of Lublin’s assistants says, “’s idea is so simple and yet so im portant to women.”Many women come to ’s office before going to a job interview.

MoscowThere’s nothing quite like celebrating Christmas in a country tha t once banned it. New Year is Russia’s biggest holiday, but you don’t have to want until 31 December to go to ice skating in Red Square. The famous skating spot is open from November 30 until March 9-and return flights from Gatwick to Moscow with Easylet cost little more than £100 at present.After your festive skate, warm up with a hot chocolate anda walk around GUM; once a state department store,now home to popular stores and cafes.21.Where is Otzi the Iceman?A.On a hillB.In a museumC.On a squareD.In a department store22.What is typical of Russian celebration of New Year?A.Christmas marketsB.Mulled wineC.Walks in the hillsD.Ice skating23.In which section can you read this text?A.EnvironmentB.BusinessC.TravelD.LifestyleBMac Carter, a British father of 14-year-old Ben who has autism（自闭症）.searched on the Internet to find a specific kind of little blue for his son.When Ben was two, Mac gave him a little blue cup that was made in China and ever since the cup has become one of the most important things in Ben's life. Mac never thought that the little cup would cause such a big problem.Ben became dependent on this cup because ever since he received the gift he would only drink water from the exact type of little blue cup.Over 12 years, Ben refused to drink water without the cup. Mac was worried about this because their current(目前） cup could break soon and he needed to find a replacement for his son to drink with. The problem was the cup was that the cup was no longer being produced.Mac tried to take Ben to a therapist to solve the cup problem, but it was of no use.So Mac decided to seek help from the public on Twitter. He got a lot of responses and the enthusiasm people from all over the world showed gave him confidence and hope.Many strangers found their identical cup and offered to send them to Ben. Though Mac received a lot of help, he still was concerned. All the cups he received would eventually break. As time passed. it would be even hardest to find the same cups.The situation took a surprising turn when the company that produced the cup got in touch with Mac.They sent a team to China,and they found the same exact mould（模具）for the cup in the factory that initially made it.the company and the Chinese factory decided to make as many as 500 cups for Ben, and Mac was thrilled about all this.24.What would happen to Ben without the cup?A.He would feel sadB.He would break other cupsC.He would refuse to drink waterD.He would suffer from autism25.Where did Mac decide to seek help?A.From a social networkB.From a British companyC.From a team of researchersD.From a Chinese factory26.What does the underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Exactly alikeB.Nearly brokenC.Of good qualityD.Of different size27.What is the best title for the text?A.Enthusiastic people Gave Cups to BenB.British Boy Preferred Chinese CupC.Concerned Father Sought Medical Treatment for BenD.Chinese Factory Helped British Boy Find Favorite CupCThe birth of the black tea and the first to reach the Western world from Fujian originated by accident.A Chinese army happened to stop by a tea farm in the late Ming Dynasty（1368-1644）and the soldiers slept on raw tea leaves which were intended for green tea making.Helpless and eager to avoid further loss,the anxious tea producer roaster the withered（枯萎的）tea leaves immediately afterwards,with pine branches,ending up with a deep colored tea,which produced bright red soup,a smoky taste and sweet flavor.To the tea farmer’s surprise,the taste and flavor became a hit in the market,and the whole area started to make the kind of tea to satisfy market demand.Around the end of the 16th century,Dutch business people took tea to Europe.Catherine of Braganza,when she married British King Charles II in 1662,took the tea drinking habit from Portugal to the British court.It was hard to say if people in the United Kingdom had the choice of drinking green tea, because it is said that after long sea transportation,green tea from China naturally fermented（发酵）into black tea.At the time British people still didn’t know that black tea and green tea are made from the same leaves,so Scottish botanist Robert Fortune（1812-1880）met with disbelief when he pointed out that only a different processing method made black tea and green tea different.Fortune was sent by the East India Company to steal tea from China.He took more than 20,000 tea plants and seedlings to India in 1851.Although most of the tea plants he introduced to India are said to have died,trained Chinese tea workers he took there are believed to have equipped the country with the necessary technology and knowledge for tea making.28.The tea farmer invented red tea .A.to get a better tasteB.to please the soldiersC.to avoid losing more moneyD.to satisfy market demand29.According to the text,British people .A.preferred green tea to black tea in the 17th centuryB.made green tea transported from China into black teaC.was the first in Europe to have the habit of drinking teaD.thought black tea and green tea were made from different leaves30.What did Fortune do according to the text?A.He trained workers to make tea.B.He brought tea plants and seedlings to Britain.C.He did something illegal for the East India Company.D.He learned knowledge and skills to make different kinds of tea.31.What is the text mainly about?A.The origin of black tea.B.The technology for tea making.C.The tradition of drinking tea in Britain.D.The difference between black tea and green tea.DEverybody loves a good wedding and I’m no exception.I’ve been to a load of them in my native Britain and I must say that I usually have a great time.Most recently I went to one in the mountains of Sardinia and I really enjoyed this one for the differences from those in the UK.First,the two families spent three weeks before the big day preparing all the food,from wonderful home-made delicacies to simple traditional breads and pastas.In my experience,in the UK that hardest task is left to the caterers（承办酒席的人）！This particular ceremony was in a beautiful country church and afterwards the couple was driven to the reception in a wonderfully decorated classic Fiat 500,which was really similar to what happens in the UK.However,the wedding with around 500 guests is much larger.The wine flowed,as did the chatter.There were the five or six courses of wonderful food, screaming kids running wild,the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom,but no speeches!Not me.In the UK it’s traditional for the father of thebride to propose（提议）a toast,followed by the groom and finishing up with that of the best man（伴郎）.His speech generally has a good laugh at the groom’s expense,but here the groom was spared that particular discomfort.Instead there was a delightful custom which I’d never seen before,in which six or seven of the male guests pass round the hall banging trays,drums,pots,pans that make noise,selling pieces of the groom’s tie which has been cut into tiny bits.The money raised was then given to the happy couple to help them set up their new life together.Finally the evening saw a lot of traditional dancing,a little disco dancing and some karaoke.Pretty much the part I like best.32.How did the author feel about the Sardinian wedding?A.It was enjoyable.B.It was very strange.C.It was expensive.D.It was unpleasant.33.As for the preparations for the wedding,which part demanded the greatest effort?A.The particular ceremony.B.The wedding food.C.The disco dancing.D.The wedding speech.34.What can we infer about the best man’s speech at a traditional British wedding?A.It is the best one of all the wedding speeches.B.It is usually very traditional and sounds too flat.C.It is funny but often makes the groom uncomfortable.D.It is more delightful than the Sardinian ceremonial speech.35.Why was the groom’s tie cut into small pieces?A.To entertain the male guests as a wedding game.B.To start the dancing evening as a special ceremony.C.To get money from the guests to pay for the reception.D.To celebrate the wedding and raise money for the new couple.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。
