At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

AMost dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical(字母表的) order--- a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the “poor” comes before “poverty” and the word “poverty” comes before the “power”. The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic alphabet(音标) shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word‟s meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 diffe rent meanings.21. Many words have_______.A .several meanings B. one meaningC. few meaningsD. no meaning22. A good dictionary will tell you_____A.more of word‟s pronunciationB. more of the word‟s meaningsC. more of grammarD. more of the word‟s spelling.23.. Phonetic alphabets are used to show ________A. handwritingsB. spellingC. meaningsD. pronunciation24.. How many important things will most dictionaries tell you?A. FourB. FiveC. ThreeD. TwoBEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up（设定）his alarm clock. He tried to shave quickly and cut himself .when he got blood all over his clean shirt, he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨烫），so he ironed it . While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（电表）.He showed him where the meter was, said goodbye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn‟t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry‟s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw th e blood on Harry‟s shirt and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o‟clock in the afternoon before the policeman was sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.25. Harry had_____A. a lucky dayB. an unlucky dayC. a busy dayD. a good day26. Why did Harry wear the shirt with blood on it?A.He had only one shirtB. The only other needed ironingC.

However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and this is harmful to people‟health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf today. However, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（编织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise, Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise problems.28. The text is mainly about ______.A. air pollutionB. water pollutionC. noise pollutionD. world pollution29. According to the text, a continuous noise of _____decibels can make people deaf.A. less than 85B. less than 65C. about 65D. more than 8530. Ten percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because ______.A. they are working in noisy placesB. they often listen to pop musicC. they are busy in listening to other‟s talkD. they live near airports31. The government of China is trying to solve ______.A. only air pollutionB. only air and water pollutionC. only water pollutionD. air, water and noise pollutionDThe Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” producedby small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the25-year-old tr aditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year‟s Eve.“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates(模仿) something famous.In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird‟s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic （批评家）said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, …Shanzhai‟ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.32. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.A. fake cell-phoneB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympic buildings33. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.A. the action that a person imitatesfamous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that imitates something famousD. those similar names to famous brands(品牌)34. We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.A. is held back by “Shanzhai” cultureB. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” cultureC. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. “Shanzhai” culture will surely disappearB. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its ownC. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream cultureD. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village cultureE第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017年长郡中学高二英语分班考试试题及参考答案
高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However,that never seems to happen.She has nightmares,which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage,President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，”Lawrence told Reuters.Fastpaced and full of action,Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in2012.With a97percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes,it is enjoying positive reviews.Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins.The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence,who won a best actress Oscar this year for her2012movie Silver Linings Playbook,has helped Catching Fire find success,Forbes pointed out.The23yearold actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s downtoearth personality in real life won the hearts of the public.So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away,a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers,the sequel(续集)was always going to be big，”Forbes noted.1．The underlined word“dampen”in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to“________”．A．hold B．lightC．reduce D．support2．Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A．Every year12teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B．Despite having won the74th Hunger Games,Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C．Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D．Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first The Hunger Gamesmovie.3．What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a．The previous film was successful.b．It is true to the original book’s story.c．Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d．It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A．abc B．abdC．acd D．bcd4．In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A．Beautiful Mind.B．Campus Trends.C．Culture Discovery.D．Society.BSometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives.What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you’re engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can’t vote when neither can you?It matters a lot, as it so happens!In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives,most of the time without us even realising it.To see this effect in action,make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community.When patterns emerge,you’ll be glad you did.Have you ever heard about the Butterfly Effect?You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps(拍打)its wings somewhere,a storm is created somewhere else.If you don’t believe it,have a look at these examples:Drought makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights rises very quickly.Civil war increases the number of refugees(难民).A change in national government causes your local school to change its meals.So you are supposed to track the news.Keep up with current affairs by:Buying newspapers; reading the news online;watching daily news bulletins;exploring news and current affairs magazines.It is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life,no matter where or how you live it.The only way to take back some control is to get involved.You don’t have to plan to be the next Prime Minister,but if you are concerned about something,do something about it.Consider:Voting with your money and only purchasing products you believe in.Volunteering for a cause you support.Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time;it is something for which you make time.Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making,but many of us let television,games,chats and other silly behaviors or attitudes get in the way.Make sure to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news,exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feeling known.5．According to the first paragraph,many people________.A．don’t care much for events in the local communityB．are not aware of the effects of the current affairsC．find it hard to develop the habit of reading newspapersD．are unwilling to share their views on current affairs6．According to Paragraph2,which of the following is the Butterfly Effect?A．Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.B．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.C．The greater the expectation placed on people,the better they perform.D．The tiniest influence on one part can have a huge effect on another.7．In Paragraph4,the author encourages readers to________.A．find out the hidden secrets of current affairsB．take part in activities related to current affairsC．develop a good understanding of politicsD．care more about political events than before8．What could be the best title of this text?A．Keeping Up with Current AffairsB．Paying Attention to the Butterfly EffectC．Great Effect of Current AffairsD．Several Tips on Tracking the NewsCIt is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irishborn writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues,not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight(苦难)of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system —Shaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play，Widowers’Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum(贫民窟)housing.His Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893)brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society,which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder(in1895)of one of the now most famous colleges in the world,the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time,many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学)in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”9．Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from______.A．the changes he brought to the British cultureB．his philosophies on the role of governmentC．his awareness of social problems of his dayD．the support for the London School of Economics10．Widowers’Houses is a play that mainly focuses on______.A．the failure of the UK education systemB．the housing problems of poor peopleC．robbery incidents in slum areasD．socialist movements in the UK11．By describing Shaw’s quotations as“part of the furniture of the English language”，the author means that Shaw’s words______.A．have become the best part of EnglishB．have greatly developed the English languageC．have made the English language philosophicalD．have become an inseparable part of the English language12．Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?A．They should be adapted for modern readers.B．They are mostly about the lives of working class.C．They deal with important social issues of their day.D．Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.DAfter many years on the endangered list of animals,Japan’s Amami rabbit can finally breathe a sigh of relief—that’s because this year,the rare animal is no longer in danger of dying out!The effort to save the darkfurred rabbit often referred to as a living fossil began in1921, when the Japanese government promoted it to the status of“natural monument”.This meant that it could not be hunted down for food.However,when that did not work,it got yet another promotion to“special natural monument”，which meant that the rabbit could not be trapped or hunted.While that helped,it was not enough—by2004with only between2,000—5,000 specimens(样本)left in the wild,the Amami rabbit was officially declared endangered!The reason for the severe population decline was attributed to loss of habitat caused by forest clearing for home and agriculture use and the introduction of a new invasive species not native to the island—mongoose(獴).Brought in to get rid of the snake population,the animals instead seemed to prefer the black rabbit.In2005,the government issued a strict mongoose capture order and slowly but surely,the rabbits started to come back.The rabbit lives a rather unusual lifestyle.Its ideal habitat is a forest that features both trees and large grasses—the former to find acorns(橡实)to feed on and the latter,to hide its babies. That’s because to protect them from being eaten by predators,the Amami rabbit buries them deep into the ground among the grasses and covers them up with dirt during the day.Then,in the middle of the night,still keeping a vigilant eye out for predators,it digs them out from their hiding place and feeds them.No wonder the animal is sometimes referred to as“midnight rabbit”．Though many measures have been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit for foodD．you can’t trap or hunt the darkfurred rabbit14．Why was the rabbit still in danger after it was promoted to“special natural monument”？A．Because it was always eaten by snakes.B．Because people still wanted to capture it for food.C．Because the rabbit lived a rather unusual lifestyle.D．Because of loss of habitat and a new invasive species.15．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4in the passage?A．watchful B．goodC．fearful D．shiny16．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Many officials don’t pay attention to rare species.B．Rare black Amami rabbits are no longer endangered.C．Saving the endangered species has a long way to go.D．The measures taken to protect the rabbit were in vain.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was young,I had a friend named Mark who loved to make

I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loosecha nge and placed it on her hand without even look ing at her. I was anno yed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “ I don ' t want your money. I justwan ，to help me find the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my belief in humility （谦恭），even though I ' d lost it for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant （ 移民）.I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother andsister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mecha nic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and fin ally I became a n etwork engin eer.In my own life, I have experie need many ope n acts of prejudice （偏见） .1 remember a time, at the age of 17- I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also wit nessed （当场见至 U ） the sametreatment of my famil y and friends, so I know what it' s like, and I should have known better.But no w, livi ng in my A America n middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have bee n, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That bli nd woma n on the street of Wash in gto in, D.C. cured me of my bli ndn ess. She remin ded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart ope n. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writ ing this article, I hope to tha nk her for the priceless less on.24. What can we lear n from the first two paragraphs?A. The author regretted his act of prejudice.B. The bli nd woma n n eeded the money badly.C. The author was as poor as the bli nd woma n.D. The author was a n ative America n 25.

One should treat others equally with love and respect.C. One should think about one' s past as often as possible.D. One should be nice to the elderly and the disabled. 27.

A belief that will n ever cha ngeD. Lear n from your pastjazz with a huma n in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the moveme nts and simple sounds made by a huma n sin ger, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these conn ecti ons to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious（有意识的）creature should be able to go a step further and in troduce new connections at result in the creati on of someth ing n ew.Some jazz musicia ns say that they should have a men tal library of musical phrases so that they are able to comb ine them in new ways. More importa ntly, however, this comb in ati on happe ns in a state that is similar in a sense to dream ing. Chella wants to copy these states in a mach ine.“ This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making, ” says Philippe Pasquier, a a musician and computer scientist. But he isskeptical about whether a robot musicia n n eeds a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges（挑战）.Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation （演绎）includes human ' s differenttastes and judgme nts. “ What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, tbetfact that the in terpretati ons of the works were won derful, ” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella ' s robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella;s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.28. Which of the following is the robot ' s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Connecting actions wi th human ' s emotions.B. Copy ing a huma n sin ger ' s moveme nts and soun ds.C. Lear ning to com muni cate with huma n beings freely.D. Livi ng with huma n beings in harm ony.29. The un derl ined word “ skeptical ” in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by.A. worriedB. certa inC. concernedD. doubtful30. What can we know about the robots like Tele noid from the text?A. They can talk with researchers.B. They are faced with two challe nges.C. They will become huma n sin gers.D. They are household robots.31. What can be concluded（推断出）from the text?A. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella ' s robot.B. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.C. Chella ' s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.D.
