ADear strangers,I remember you. Eighteen months ago, when my cell phone rang, you were walkinginto Whole Foods prepared to do your grocery shopping, just as I had been only minutes before you. But I had already abandoned my cart full of groceries in the entryway.My brother was on the other end of the line telling me my father had taken his ownlife early that morning.I started to cry and scream as my whole body trembled. I fell to the floor, myknees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have simply stopped and had a brief look, but you didn’t. Instead, you surrounded me as I yelled through my sobs, “My father killed himself. He’s dead.”I remember one of you asked for my phone and whom you should call. What was my password? You needed my h usband’s name a s you searched through my c ontacts. I remember that I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband for me, leaving an urgentmessage or him to call me. I recall hearing you discuss among yourselves who woulddrive m e home i n my car and who would follow that person back to the store. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t matter. You met me, a stranger, in the worstmoment of my life, and you were around me with common purpose—to help.In my fog, I told you that I had a friend who worked at Whole Foods, and one ofyou brought her to me. And I even recall as I sat with her, one of you sent over agift card to Whole Foods; though you didn’t know me, you wanted to let me know thatyou would be thinking of me. That gift card helped to feed my family when the ideaof cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach.I never saw you after that. But I know this to be true: Because you reached outto help, you offered a ray of light in the darkest moment I’ve ever experien ced. You may not remember me. But I will never, ever forget you.21.

But that raises a problem: How do you find the book you want?In ancient time the books were made of bamboo a nd wooden chips. After somebody finished reading a book, they would roll the book from the tail end and the topend would be left outside. Usually, two empty chips would be put in the top endand the chapter name written on the back of the empty chips. So when somebodytook the book, they would know the content without opening it. This became the embryonic form (雏形) of the earliest bookmark.During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), silk books gradually replacedbamboo chips. To make it easier for readers to find the book, people would tie a small plate at one end of the roller marked with the book name or other information. Thebookmark during that time was always made with bamboo, with flower patterns on thebamboo as decoration. Wealthy families used ivory as bookmark or hung the ivorybookmarks on the bookshelves.In Tang Dynasty, printing made paper books become popular. The silk strip withbook name was used as bookmark and stuck on the book cover. To distinguish (区分) with the bookmark of scroll (卷轴), the bookmark was called “floating mark” During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), hardcover and paperback books became thicker and thename began to be printed on the cover. So people began to place the bookmark insidethe book to mark the reading process.The bookmark we currently use come in various shapes and materials and are creatively designed.25. What was a bookmark originally designed for?A. To decorate a book.B. To distinguish social class.C. To show the content of a book.D. To mark the reading process.26. What appeared in the Warring States Period?A. Floating mark.B. The bookmark of scroll.C. Bookmarks with flower patterns.D. Empty chips with chapter names.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. The function of the bookmark in China.B. Creatively-designed bookmark in China.C. Typical Chinese culture—floating markD. The evolution of bookmark in ancient ChinaCIs virtual reality sexist? Women experience more motion sickness thanmen while using VR, and researchers have suggested a novel theory, which iscontrary to the commonly held view that motion sickness is caused when yoursenses provide conflicting information.“Women are more likely to be influenced than men b y motion sickness in general,” says Thomas Stoffregen at the University of Minnesota. “We wanted to know whetherthat was also the case with VR headsets.”Stoffregen and his team ran experiments in which 36 people-half of them men, half of them women-played two VR games using the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift headset. Thefirst game in which players had to push a small glass ball around a maze (迷宫) only made a few people feel sick. But the second game that involved taking a virtual walkaround a ghost house set off feelings of sickness in 14 out of 18 women and only sixout of 18 men.Why were women more likely to be affected? Stoffregen’s answer is grounded in his broader ideas on motion sickness. He thinks that it is linked to “posturalsway”-the slight movements our bodies make when we stand or sit still. People whosway more, he says, will be more likely to feel sick.“Women tend to be smaller than men, th ey have a different body shape, and theyhave smaller feet than men of comparable height,” he says. “In a purely physical sense, there’s reduced stability (稳定) in the female body, so there’s an increased likelihood that any sort of disturbing motion stimulus will contribute to instability.” But not everyone agrees.28. What can we learn from Stoffregen’s experiments?A. Women are more afraid of ghosts.B. VR headsets amaze all the people.C. The virtual walk makes more women feel sick.D. Oculus Rift is specially designed for the experiment.29. What is Stoffregen’s theory?A. Women tend to be smaller than men.B. Reduced stability leads to motion sickness.C. Women sway less when standing or sitting still.D. Motion sickness occurs when one’s senses conflic t.30. What would probably be discussed in the following paragraph?A. Ways to measure postural sway.B. Different opinions on the new theory.C. The influence of motion sickness.D. More examples to support Stoffregen’s theory.DA multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits (追求). It is easy to see your multipotentiality as a shortcoming that you need to overcome. And you might feel like something is wrong with you. But in fact there are some great strengths to being this way. Here are two super powers.One: rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something, we go hard. We observe everything we can get our hands on. We are also used to beingbeginners, because we’ve been beginners so many times in the past, an d this means that we’re less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones.What’s more, we bring everything we’ve learned to every new area, so we’re hardly starting from scratch.Second: adaptability. It is the ability to change into whatever you need to bein a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a webdesigner, and sometimes James Bond. He’s valuable because he can take on variousroles. Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most importantskill to develop in the 21st century. The economic world is changing so quickly andunpredictably that only multipotentialites are really able to meet the needs of themarket. We h ave a lot of complex problems in the world right now, and we need creative, out-of-the box thinkers to solve them. In fact, some of the best teams are made upof a specialist and multipotentialite together. The specialist can dive in deep ideas, while the multipotentialite brings much knowledge of the project. It’s a be autiful partnership.So to the multipotentialites, I say: Follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes. Embracing your many passions leads to a happier life. And perhaps more importantly-multipotentialites, the world needs you.31. What may be the best title for the text?A. Think out of the boxB. Take advantage of your strengthC. What you are is a multipotentialiteD. Be proud of being a multipotentialite32. Why are multipotentialites needed now?A. To satisfy people’s curiosity.B. To strengthen social support.C. To make up a great partnership.D. To deal with the changing world.33. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Full of confidence.B. Out of curiosity.C. Without previous knowledge.D. With much experience.34. Why is Abe Cajudo mentioned in the passage?A. To prove his popularity.B. To share his personal affairs.C. To display his various talents.D. To show his great adaptability.Which of the following can best describe multipotentialites?A. Adventurous and flexible.B. Creative and considerate.C. Talented and stubborn.D. Enthusiastic and smart.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0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。

His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布) tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.When I told my parents what I wanted to do they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”“Go away!” he shouted.“Sir,” I repeated.“Go away!” he shouted.“Why?” I asked him.He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.“Merry Christmas!” I said.“Why are you doing this?” he asked.“Because you matter to me,” I said.

The bruise led to a doctor’s visit. The doctor said his daughter was suffering from leukemia (白血病).Steve said that in a moment his life changed from what restaurant he was going to take his clients (客户) to lunch to whether his daughter Katie was ever going to see her fourth birthday.For three years Katie received a lot of treatment at the Nemours Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and with the help of wonderful doctors, kind nurses, whom Steve and his wife Michelle called heroes, Katie’s leukemia was cured (治愈).Forever changed by the experience and encouraged by the heroes at Nemours who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do and that something else led him to join the Nemours Foundation（基金会）at the age of 28. The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making as a lawyer, but Steve thought he was right and it was more important to help those who need help. Steve is glad to have made such a choice.Katie is now a healthy 20-year-old college student and Steve is one of the leaders of the Nemours Foundation. In three weeks Steve will have a party for Katie’s 21st birthday, and give big thanks to the Nemours by riding his bicycle from Nemours in Jack-sonville, Florida to Wilmington, Delaware.

A program called Kids Café is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs.At a community (社区) center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their afterschool program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Café program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. Kids Café, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.“It’s good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids ar e getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity (慈善机构), Feeding America, started the national Kids Café program in 1993. The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.Kids Café became part of the afterschool program at this community center five years ago. Lori McFail heads the afterschool program. She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food. She hopes the children will make full use of what they’ve learned about nutrition in their lives.【1】What is the purpose of starting Kids Café?A．To provide poor children with nutritious food.B．To raise money for some poor children.C．To develop the afterschool program.D．To help poor children learn new skills.【2】The underlined word “weird” is the closest in meaning to _____.A．delicious B．unusualC．terrible D．strong【3】What can we learn about Daffany Nance?A．She is from Ethiopia and has two children.B．She cared little about her children’s diet before.C．She believes the program is good for her children.D．She hopes more types of food can be offered for free.【4】 Who leads the afterschool program?A．Lori McFail.B．Keith Clements.C．Feeding America.D．A community center in Virginia.puter technology is still developing rapidly. The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术).Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time. Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (电器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.【1】Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?A．Much smaller.B．Much faster.C．More powerful.D．Less valuable.【2】According to the text, quantum computing _____.A．has been put in use so farB．can make computers run by themselvesC．can reduce the cost of computersD．will work by using transistors【3】We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.A．create much smaller computersB．be used in electrical appliances and clothingC．change the structure of computersD．make computers just serve specific purposes【4】The text is mainly about _____.A．what nanotechnology isB．what quantum computing isC．what the future of the computer isD．what future computers can bring us5.This fourth of July I moved into a new house with my wife, Nicole. Nicole and I met through a series of coincidences that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to happen.The day Nicole and I met, we talked about the Yankees. In the restaurant where we sat, the first game between the Yanks and Tampa Bay was being shown on television. Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating (约会) me. “My dad wouldn’t like me dating anyone who isn’t,” she said.Nicole’s dad, Ira, used to be a coach for the Yankees. Many years ago, a colleague (同事) of his was leaving and packing up his office. The only thing left unpacked was a photo on the wall. It was a picture of Sparky Lyle, a famous baseball player. Sparky had signed the photo on the bottom.“You’re not taking that?” Ira asked. “You want it?” his colleague offered. “Sure!” Ira said. He jumped at the chance to have a signed photo from a great player who had helped the team win two World Series.Ira told me the story after the movers had gone. He then said to me, “Adam, when I first learned who was datingmy daughter, that photo came into my mind,” he said. “But by now, I know for sure you’re meant to have it.” He then presented me with a box. I tore it open. Inside was the signed photo of Sparky Lyle which I had lost years ago.“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”. It was picked up by Nicole’s dad years before I’d even met her. The perfect gift — a sign only making me believe what I already knew ... I was meant for Nicole and her family all along.【1】What does the underlined word “coincidences” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．New things.B．Important things.C．Things that happened long ago.D．Things that happened by chance.【2】A big reason why Nicole agreed to be Adam’s girlfriend was that _____.A．he was ableB．he was a baseball fanC．he got a new houseD．they had much in common【3】Ira got the photo of Sparky Lyle from _____.A．Sparky Lyle B．NicoleC．his colleague D．Adam【4】We can infer from the text that _____.A．Adam did not like the giftB．Nicole found the lost pictureC．Adam and Nicole will love each other foreverD．the picture of Sparky Lyle was first owned by Adam四、语法填空When I was in junior high school, darkness began filling my mind.

It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau (high land)，between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company's headquarters is in Winston Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women一the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation.Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns (小旅馆）and Moravian dormitorybuildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.The historic community is booming again. Just as R. J。

福建高二高中英语期末考试带答案解析
福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Monthly active users of WeChat, a popular social networking App run by Internet Tencent Holdings Ltd, rose to 889 million last year, up 28 percent year-on-year, according to a report on Thursday.The report said the number of active WeChat users last year helped directly drive 174.3 billion yuan of information-sector(信息产业)spending, an increase of 26.2 percent on the previous year.The government has urged to expand consumption to create new sources(来源)of economic growth and to help drive industry upgrading.The report added that the popular message App, which provides a wide range of services, created jobs for 18.81 million people in 2016, up 7.7 percent year-on-year.It found that the percentage of older WeChat users gradually increasing. Those aged over 55 using voice messages accounted for 22 percent of the total, while their average length of time spent on audio and video calling service reached 82 minutes, higher than other groups of users.The report also found that WeChat has quickened the transmission(传送) of information, changed people’s paying habits because they only need to take their mobile phones when going out to shop, and create the channels with which people get information.Ma Shicong, an analyst at Beijing-based Internet Consultancy Analysis, said: “WeChat has accumulated a large number of faithful users by providing various services, from instant messaging, information to mobile payments. WeChat helps make lives easier and more convenient.”The report also showed the WeChat official accounts were favored by users, with 36.1 percent of them following or subscribing to accounts related to in news and information.【1】What’s the desire of the government according to the text?A．To expand consumption.B．To create more jobs.C．To support WeChat App.D．To balance spending.【2】Who uses voice messages most frequently?A．The youths.B．The analysts.C．Shop owners.D．The aged.【3】How does WeChat win its faithful users?A．By subscribing to the official accounts.B．By creating mobile payments.C．By offering varieties of services.D．By sending in news and information.2.In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey（调查） of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have beenbywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children."Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity（繁荣） hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Big holidays.B．Time-honored brands.C．The respondents.D．The older generations.【2】What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals?A．He runs several shops selling traditional goods.B．He shops traditional brands for his family.C．He misses the things of the past very much.D．He buys various sweeties and drinks.【3】What can be learned about the time-honored brands?A．They are not trusted in quality and competition.B．Many disappeared and never made comebacks.C．They enjoy a long time of popularity.D．They are the childhood stories of the aged.【4】What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going?A．China’s prosperity.B．Historic influence.C．Certain rare natural ingredients.D．Bywords for older generations.3.Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting and great fun? Certainly, it isa new experience, one that brings the opportunity(机会) to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom. But do remember that there are also some challenges you will meet, for your views may disagree with the different beliefs, norms(社会准则), values and traditions of different countries. This is called “culture shock”. The following are the stages of adjusting.T he first stage is called ”the honeymoon”, where you are excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fantastic.Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears, “the hostility stage”. You begin to notice that not everything that seemed so wonderful initially is now awful, making you feel distressed and tired. Usually at this point, you use some defense mechanisms(机制) to help you cope(应付) and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock. Two of them are “repression”, which happens when you pretend that everything is acceptable and that nothing bothers you, and “regression”, when you start to act like a child, sometimes careless and irresponsible. The third kind is “isolation”. You don’t want to communicate w ith anybody, cutting yourself off the world. The last type is “rejection”, where you think you don’t need anybody, feeling you are coping fine alone. After you deal with your hostile feelings, next comes the stage, “recovery”, when you begin to see things of a different culture you can learn to appreciate.The last stage is “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.Culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country. Actually, you learn how to interact with otherpeople, and you learn a considerable amount about life in a new culture. Eventually, you learn more-about yourself.【1】How many stages of culture shock does the text mention?A．4.B．6.C．7.D．8.【2】Which mechanism does a person apply if he pretends to accept everything in a new culture? A．Repression.B．Regression.C．Isolation.D．Rejection.【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards culture shock?A．Serious.B．Positive.C．Cautious.D．Scared.【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A New ExperienceB．Stages of adjustmentC．Culture ShockD．Defense Mechanisms4.Kitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens. It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed(处理)of like other garbage due to dampness.Separating kitchen waste from other waste can help to reduce organic matter in landfills, reducing smell and waste liquid and protecting disposal equipment. It is therefore necessary to perform garbage classification when disposing of kitchen waste.There are special garbage trucks to process kitchen waste. Labeled “Kitchen Waste”, the beds of the trucks are covered in a hermetic(密封的) metal topper to contain the smell of the rotting organic waste. There are two sizes of the trucks—the smaller ones are designed to move through narrow streets, especially in the old-fashioned hutong, the larger ones are for wider streets.Everyday, they stop at the residential(居住的) communities in Xicheng district, pick up their kitchen waste and carry it to the kitchen waste transfer buildings nearby. And Fengrongyuan residential community is one of them. It has 10 residential buildings and 606 families. In the afternoon. Two garbage trucks arrive at the community to collect its kitchen waste. The community now has 31 sets of garbage cans. Every set has three cans in different colors, green for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste and grey for other garbage.Yang Kun, an official of Financial Street office, said that if residents in the community can respect the waste regulations and make it a standard practice in their daily life, they could be rewarded for their efforts.After the two trucks are loaded with kitchen waste at Fengronfyuan, they will leave for the Xibianmen garbage storage building, where they are weighed before driving to an area to unload. The building has six big boxes to contain the kitchen waste.To save resources and promote the disposal of household waste, the first step is garbage classification as conducted by residents.【1】What can be learned about kitchen waste from Paragraph1?A．It is too damp and heavy to easily dispose of.B．It can be as easily disposed of as other garbage.C．It helps to reduce organic matter in landfills.D．It is necessary for garbage classification.【2】What is needed to prevent the organic waste letting out smell?A．Trucks with a hermetic metal popper.B．Trucks labeled “Kitchen Waste”.C．Wider streets for garbage trucks.D．Waste transfer buildings nearby.【3】Where is the kitchen waste weighed before being unloaded?A．Old-fashion hutong.B．Xicheng district.C．Fengrongyuan residential community.D．The Xibianmen garbage storage building.【4】What’s the main idea of the text?A．Kitchen waste does harm to the disposal equipment.B．It’s a practice to respect the waste sorting regulations.C．The disposal of kitchen waste is aimed to save resources.D．The disposal of household waste begins with garbage classification.二、其他How to Draw a Mind MapMind mapping relates to writing down a central idea and thinking up new and relevant ideas which radiate out from the center.Look for relationshipsUse lines, colors, arrows, branches or other ways of showing connections between ideas on your mind map.【1】. Personalizing the map with your own symbols and designs will assist in your recall and understanding.【2】All of these things promote linear(线性的)thinking while the idea of mind mapping is to think creatively andin anon-linear manner. There will be plenty of time for polishing the information later on. But at this stage, the most important thing is to get every possibility into the mind map that may be the key to your knowledge of a topic.Write down key ideasSome students find that using capital letters encourages them to get down only the key points.【3】.You may, however, wish to write down some explanatory notes in lower cases. Some students do this when they revisit the mind map at a later date while others write such things as assessment criteria in this way. Put the main idea in the centerMost students find it useful to turn their page on the side and do a mind map in “landscape” style. They put the main idea or topic in the middle of the page.【4】.Leave lots of space【5】.After the initial drawing of the mind map you may wish to highlight things, add related information or questions right up.A．Capitals are also easier to read in a diagramB．Make a list all your ideas you needC．This helps them assess the related informationD．Draw quickly without pausing, judging or editingE.This gives the maximum space for other ideas to radiateF.Some most useful mind maps are those adds over a period of timeG.These relationships may be important in understanding new information三、完形填空For over 30 years my father has been serving as a senior minister in several churches.

福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation”(解读) of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. But those who do teach poetry must keep in minda few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.【1】To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.A．discuss it with others B．analyze it by oneselfC．copy it down in a notebook D．practise reading it aloud【2】According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.A．to understand life.B．to enjoy poetry.C．to become teachers.D．to become poets【3】What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A．More importance should be attached to the teaching of poetry.B．Poetry is more important than any other subject.C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses2.There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believ e that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habitsof eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gain.Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but when your body adapts to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.【1】What does the author think about being fat?A．It is the family genes that make people fat.B．People are fat because they consume too little energy.C．It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.D．A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.【2】According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A．By taking varied exercise.B．By choosing simple exercise.C．By doing regular exercise.D．By sticking to outdoor exercise.【3】What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A．Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.B．Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.C．Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D．Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.【4】What is the purpose of the passage?A．To argue the importance of keeping fit.B．To prove some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.C．To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D．To inform readers of some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise.3.In recent years some extreme weather events have arisen from global warming because of human activities, with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future. Scientists were certain that global warming is being caused mostly by increasing concentrations ofgreenhouse gasesand otherhumanactivities.Its effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels and expansion of deserts in the subtropics(亚热带). Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing loss of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall with floods, heavy snowfall and species extinction due to great change of temperature. Bad effects on humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of populated(住人的) areas because of rising sea levels.Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放), adaptation to its effects, building systems resilient to its effects, and possible future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC), whose objective is to prevent dangerous climate change. It has adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. It is agreed that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.On 12 November 2015, NASA scientists reported that human-made carbon dioxide continues to increase above levels that have not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years: currently, about half of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere and is not absorbed by vegetation and the oceans.【1】What does the underlined word “resilient” mean?A．be easily damaged B．be able to recover easilyC．can be bent easily D．be difficult to change【2】Which of following is NOT mentioned as an effect of global warming?A．rising sea levelsand expansion of desertsB．more frequent extreme weather eventsC．species extinctionD．increasing crop yields【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. It is likely for us to deal with global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to its effects and climate engineering.B. There is no solution to too much carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.C. It is common that human-made carbon dioxide keeps on increasing greatly in the previous several centuries.D. Future global warming should be limited to below 3.6 °C.二、其他阅读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。

We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed a way unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.【1】Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A．He built shelters for them.B．He came to stay with them.C．He gave immediate first aid to them.D．He brought mental health professionals.【2】What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A．He decided not to disturb.B．He went to his friends’ at once.C．He knew what to do instantly.D．He hesitated over whether to go.【3】What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Heavy but warm.B．A little sad but comfortable.C．Relaxing and delightful.D．Very serious and unhappy.【4】What has the author learned from his experience?A．Being present can make a big difference.B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D．Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.3.It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside onsmoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.【1】How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A．They can run more slowly.B．They can take in more calories.C．Their hearts can function harder.D．Their body temperature can get lower.【2】How does summer affect runners?A．It builds up their energy quickly.B．It makes runners tired easily.C．It lessens runners’ stress.D．It causes heart attack.【3】What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A．Stop driving cars.B．Do more exercise.C．Avoid outdoor exercise.D．Run late in the morning.4.Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird(怪异的),” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.【1】In what way did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?A．By putting up posters on the tube.B．By offering passengers special badges.C．By advocating his idea on the media.D．By starting a dialogue with passengers.【2】How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?A．Most passengers have refused to accept it.B．It has become a worldwide campaign.C．It has caught international attention.D．Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.【3】According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?A．Hand in their feedback in time.B．Walk up and talk to strangers.C．Stop using public transport.D．Enjoy the peace quietly.【4】What can be the best title for the text?A．Tube Chat or NotB．Lonely Travel in the London TubeC．Silence on the TubeD．Tube Passengers Wearing Badges二、其他Everyone makes mistakes. 【1】. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company’s bottom line. Evil consequences will finally come down to you. Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work, your career may depend on what you do next.Admit your mistake.Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is that you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don’t try to hide your mistake.【2】.Present your boss with a plan to fix your mistake.When you go to your boss to admit your mistake, you must have a plan for correcting it. Present your plan clearly. Tell your boss how long it will take to carry out your plan and if there are any costs involved.Don’t blame anyone else for your mistake.【3】. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.【4】.There’s a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourse lf up about it. Take responsibilitybut don’t blame yourself for making it, especially in public.Correct your mistake on your own time.If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don’t expect to be paid for that time.【5】.A．You can use your lunch hour or come into work earlyB．You will look terrible if someone else discovers itC．Apologize for your mistake but don’t beat yourself upD．Pointing fingers won’t help you if you make a mistakeE.
