2020-2021学年广东东莞南开实验学校高二下期初考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument m ade by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and that in that case, I would have my own private musician.I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured , the bird fluttered(拍翅) about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.I had left the cag e out on our back doorway and on the second day of the bird’s captivity(囚禁)，my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I on how to feed the baby.The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened? I had taken excellent care of my little bird , or so I thought.Arthur Wayne, the famousornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time and, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous berries(浆果). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.1．The boy caught a mockingbird because__________.A．he liked its beautiful feather.B．he wanted a pet as his companionC．he wanted it to sing for himD．he wanted to watch it dance2．The “ornithologist” probably means __________.A．a religious personB．a kind and sympathetic personC．a school masterD．an expert in birds3．The most important lesson the boy learned from the accident is that __________ .A．a bird put in a cage won’t live longB．you have to be careful about the food you give to your youngC．freedom is valuable to all living creaturesD．you should keep a young bird away from its mother4．What can we infer according to the passage?A．The children trying to catch butterflies reminded the author to keep a mockingbird as a pet. B．The mockingbird sings better than any other bird.C．The mockingbird’s mother had a better underst anding than the author.D．The author did not catch any living creature and put it in a cage after the accident.Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that traveled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sands; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable(蹩脚的) hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots – and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough – not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between life and death.Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up thecoast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.5．Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his fields?A．Fathers taking their corn to market.B Mothers washing clothes. B．Fishing boats traveling on the sea.C．Children playing on the sands.6．Why didn’t Jalpur live well?A．He didn’t work hard.B．He had too many children to feed.C．The villagers kept taking his corn.D．He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival.7．What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave?A．He ran down the hill to tell the people.B．He screamed loudly to get the villagers’ attention.C．He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach.D．He stood still, not knowing what to do.8．The villagers were thankful to Jalpur because he had .A．given them his corn in order to save them from hungerB．saved their village from being drowned by the waveC．given them many things during his lifeD．given his life in order to save theirsWe can’t deny that trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees ,their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.9．It’s a great pity that ________.A．man is only interested in building empiresB．man is eager to profit from treesC．man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD．man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees10．Sooner or later the forests will disappear______A．unless people are taught the importance of planting treesB．unless people stop cutting down their treesC．unless a county has a plenty supply of treesD．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting trees11．The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means”_________”A．to make stay together B．to make wetC．to wash away D．to improve12．When there is a heavy rain ,trees can help to prevent floods, as they can ___________ A．keep rain from falling down to soft groundB．cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC．prevent the soil from being washed awayD．make the topsoil stick togetherThere are so many people who write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.“Peopl e today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a pape r, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. T he absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.There are people who wish to remain anonymous for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make astatement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say. 13．What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”? A．Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say B．Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.C．Writers should be responsible for their names.D．Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.14．Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________.A．hesitant to make a donationB．afraid of an accusationC．unwilling to draw public attentionD．ready for involvement15．The passage is mainly about _______.A．honor and writersB．identity and signatureC．anonymity and signatureD．signature and responsibility二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

So, he had to return to college with scars.When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people wi ll ignore it.

He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us.

请先阅读几所大学所提供的健康医疗教育项目： A.Argosy UniversityOur postgraduate degree level education provides the knowledge and tools to create successful and meaningful careers. B.试卷第2页，共14页Kaplan UniversityOur university offers comprehensive training in health care to prepare you for a career in the health sciences, corrections, or private security. C.Everest CollegeThrough our online degree program, you can gain the necessary skills to join the health care industry. It is designed to prepare you for a career in the health sciences. D.Sanford-Brown CollegeSBC is dedicated to providing innovative programs that enable students the opportunity to gain professional skills by practicing in our health care center before they work. E.Rasmussen CollegeThe Healthcare Management Bachelor of Science degree at our College will give students the education and practical experience they need to work as administrators.(管理人员) F.Brown Mackie UniversityThe Health & nursing programs are designed to provide students with the education needed to enter health and nursing careers.下面是几位需要医学教育的学生，请为他们选择适合他们就读的大学：1、My family immigrated when I was still studying my healthcare courses in a local medical college. So I had to give up my bachelor degree and moved with them. Now I hope to find a college that offers the degree education on the Internet and realize my dream of being a doctor.2、When I looked after my mother in the hospital ten years ago, I was moved by what the nurses did. They devoted themselves into helping every patient get through the hard time. Since then,I have been determined to take up nursing career, and now, the time is coming.3、When studying in the university, my professor often told me that it was impossible for me to get every problem solved just with the knowledge in textbooks. It makes me realize I should look for a health care center where I can learn practical skills and gain more experience.4、After graduating from a medical college and get my bachelor degree five years ago, I becamea doctor in a big local health care center. However, I find modern medical research developing fairly rapidly, so I hope to start my postgraduate degree study in a university and serve the people here better.5、Being a retired doctor, my father always hopes that I can continue his career. I know a doctor can help lots of people, but in fact, my favorite job is managing, no matter in a company, an institution or an organization. So maybe learning how to manage a hospital can satisfy both of us.You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the ―Elevator Guy‖.―The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),‖ Gray told the BBC. ―They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkwardpl aces.‖We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it‘s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going tohave to stand in the middle.试卷第4页，共14页New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward ( adj. 尴尬的) in lifts?―You don‘t have enough space,‖ Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the F ree University of Berlin, told the BBC. ―Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm‘s length of distance between us. And that‘s not possible in most elevators.‖ In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. ―The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,‖ she said.6、The main purpose of the article is to _____. A ．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B ．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C ．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D ．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator7、According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually ______. A ．turn around and greet one another B ．look around or examine their phone C ．make eye contact with those in the elevator D ．try to keep a distance from other people elevator?8、The underlined phrase ―size up‖ in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____. A ．judge B ．ignore C ．put up with D ．make the best of 9、According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____. A ．someone‘s odd behaviors B ．the lack of spaceC ．their unfamiliarity with one anotherD ．their eye contact with one anotherPresident Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket．―I just miss -- I miss being anonymous,‖ he said. ―I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk.‖His dream, he said, was to ―go through Central Park and watch folks passing by…spend the day watching people -- I miss that‖.Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. ―It's the only excuse I have to get outside f or four hours.‖ he told Hearst magazines．Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge (誓言) to change, such as the "kabuki dance" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin．His comments may be seen as vindication (证实) by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached (漠然), and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week．Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr Obama has already racked up 60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years．In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century．10、What do the second paragraph and the third paragraph mainly tell us?A．Obama likes living a busy life．B．Obama used to spend most of his time with his family．C．Obama wishes to enjoy simple pleasures．D．He used to wash his car himself．11、According to Obama, he plays golf to .A．release his pressureB．keep fitC．balance his workD．show his ability12、We can infer from the passage that Obama is kabuki dance．试卷第6页，共14页A ．curious aboutB ．interested inC ．content withD ．tired of 13、Which of the following statements is from the critics?A ．The president lost lots of privacy, but he loves the life in the White House.B ．There are always unnecessary procedures among political parties ．C ．The president seems to be indifferent towards some really important issues ．D ．The president is really a great golf player ． 14、What is the passage mainly about? A ．Obama's favorite pastime ．B ．Obama‘s complaints about lack of privacy as president ．C ．The public's criticism of Obama ．D ．Obama's regrets for being the US president ．A woman renewing her driver‘s license at the County Clerk‘s office was asked to state her occupation ．She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself ．―What I mean is,‖ explained the recorder, ―do you have a job, or are you just a …‖ ―Of course I have a job,‖ said Emily ．―I‘m a mother.‖―We don‘t list ‗mother‘ as an occupation… ‗housewife‘ covers it,‖ said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation ．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title ．―What is your occupation?‖ she asked ． The words simply popped out ．―I‘m a Rese arch Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.‖The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.―Might I ask, ‖ said the clerk with new interest, ―Just what you do in this field?‖ Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, ―I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn‘t ）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out)．Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it)．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.‖There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk‘s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out．As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in thechild-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than ―just another mother.‖Motherhood…What a glorious career!Especially when there‘s a title on the door.15、What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.B．The recorder was impatient and rude.C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.16、How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A．curious B．indifferent C．puzzled D．interested17、How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A．calm B．panic-stricken C．confident D．cool18、Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A．Because the author cared little about rewards.B．Because she admired the author‘s research work in the lab.C．Because she thought the author did admirable work.D．Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.19、What is the author‘s purpose of writing the passage?A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B．To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C．To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work．Barack Obama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common? They are, ofcourse, all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site badoo. com, they all试卷第8页，共14页best illustrate(举例说明) the word ―cool‖.But just what does it mean to say someone is ―cool‖? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.Yale University art professor Robert F arris Thompson says that the term ―cool‖ goes back to 15th century West African philosophy(哲学). ―Cool‖ relates to ideas of grace(优雅) under pressure.―In Africa, ‖ he writes, ―coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.‖The modern idea of ―cool‖ developed largely in the US in the period after World War II. ―Post -war ‗cool‘ was in part an expression of war -weariness (n. 厌战情绪). . . it went against the strict social rules of the time,‖ write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules:Anatomy of an Attitude.But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for ―cool‖ in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies(欺凌弱小者). In the movie, Dean showed what ―cool‖ would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.Today the focus of ―cool‖ has changed to athletics (体育运动) stars. Often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.―Call it the Harry Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool,‖ writes journalist Joe Sunnen.20、Barack Obama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.A ．introduce the topicB ．draw our attentionC ．tell us what they have in commonD ．tell us what is ―cool‖21、If you were consi dered ―cool‖ in Africa in the 15th century, you ________. A ．thought and acted differently from the majority B ．had a calm and quiet attitude towards life C ．didn‘t observe rules and authorities D ．had all kinds of ―bad‖ manners22、The heroes in Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die are likely to be those who ________. A ．do very well in their studies B ．are very skilled at sportsC ．are good at chess and other thinking games.D ．have supernatural powers like Harry Potter23、Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A ．It is generally considered ―cool‖ to be independent -minded and not to follow the crowd.B ．―Cool‖ was used as early as the 15th century.C ．Disobeying one‘s parents and the authorities is considered ―cool‖ among American young people nowadays.D ．Getting the first place in an exam can also be considered ―cool‖. 24、What does the article mainly talk about? A ．The origin of the word ―cool‖. B ．The kinds of people who are ―cool‖. C ．The changing meaning of the word ―cool‖. D ．How to be a ― cool‖ person.二、完形填空（题型注释）Wishing to encourage her young son‘s progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert.
