AThe ocean is always moving：waves break on the surface，sea levels rise and fall with the tides，and currents flow below the surface．Although it looks as if the water in a wave is moving across the surface of the ocean，it is not．The water is actually moving up and down．This is why an object on top of a wave will bob up and down，but not move forward．When a wave reaches the shore，however, the water does move forward．It surges(前进)onto the shore．This is because the “bottom” of the wave drags on the sand and the “top”continues on，crashing onto the shore．This crashing water is called the surf．Most waves are caused by wind blowing across the ocean's surface．The size of a wave depends on how fast and how far the wind blows over the surface and on the depth of the wave．Small winds can cause ripples，while strong winds create large hurricane waves．Along most shorelines．water levels rise and fall twice a day．These changes，called tides．are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon．The ocean surface lifts，or bulges(凸出)，in two places：on the side of Earth that faces the Moon and on the side of Earth that faces away from the Moon．Both bulges cause a high tide on nearby shorelines．At the same time that the high tides occur，low tides occur between the two bulges．Tides are also affected by the pull of the Sun，although the effect of the Sun is not as great as the effect of the Moon．When the Moon and Sun are lined up with Earth，the combined pull is the strongest，causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides．These very high and very low tides are called spring tides．Weaker tides，called neap tides，happen when the Moon and theSun are at right angles to Earth．High tides alternate with low tides．Along most shorelines，a high tide or low tide occurs about every six hours．11．The word “alternate” in the last paragraph means ．A．appear suddenly B．bob up and downC．change or become quickly D．happen or follow one after another 12．The best title for the passage is ．A．The Moving Ocean C．Tides and WavesB．Ocean and Earth D．Waves and CurrentsBIn a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of faces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tree branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painter. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. He dropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the experience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just being lazy. In his view, words can express anything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.13. In the short poem, Ezra Pound .A. tells us one of his painful experiencesB. compares the passengers’ faces to flowersC. describes a man walking among the crowdD. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station14. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was .A. based on one of Pound’s paintingsB. first discovered in a waste binC. influenced by haikusD. completed in 191615. Pound and his friends .A. stressed the importance of using adjectivesB. were good at describing abstract imagesC. decorated their poems with picturesD. used images to express their ideasCSome 30,000 years ago, artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them: panthers, hyenas, rhinos, cave lions, mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time. The paintings were highly realistic. Some even showed movement.The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered. They were preserved because the cave wassealed---closed off--for more or less 23,000 years.Fast forward to December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Marie Chauvet, who led the group then, describes the process of discovering the cave paintings. “At that time I was in the front, Eliette just walked behind me, Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre and she said, ‘They came here.’And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything linked to the parietalart(壁画). That is where it is tarted.”Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.”Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork. Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written. The United Nations’ cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site. They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it. However, its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.However, French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont d’Arc Cavern. The copy, which we also called replica, cost more than 59 million dollars to build. It opened at the end of April in France.Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern. He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe. He says the place is magic because it is doen so well. Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d’Arc Cavern every year.16. According to Jean Clottes’ words in Paragraph 4, the paintings in the cave were.A.abstractB. superiorC. creativeD. inspiring17. Which of the follow statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave?A.It was closed off for more than 30,000 years.B.It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art.C.The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage.D.The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals.18. The purpose of creating Pndt d’Arc Cavern is to .A.show admiration for the earliest artists in EuropeB.arouse visitors’ awareness of protecting ancient artC.offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artworkD.collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave第二节（本节共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Every year migratory(迁徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering(过冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats' annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O'Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(栖息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.Joy O'Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O'Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. "Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success," she says, adding that bats also "control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes."However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals th at move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track," Stepanian says. "We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step."（1）Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _________.A. bats prefer colder weatherB. bats delay their reproductionC. warming affects bat migrationD. radar can be used to observe bats（2）Joy O'Keefe discovered that _________.A. bats are used to living in rainfall seasonsB. bats' earlier migration might harm farmingC. insects' reproduction helps to spread diseaseD. insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier（3）What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A. Wind speed and direction affect bats.B. It is difficult to observe and track bats.C. Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.D. Further research on the cause is necessary.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Bats' habitatsB. Endangered batsC. Bats' scheduleD. Bats, our good friends【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】【点评】本文是一篇说明文，作者先提出蝙蝠迁徙提前的这种现象，然后分析了这种现象可能导致的后果，最后分析了可能导致蝙蝠迁徙提前的原因。
2016-2017学年浙江绍兴一中高二上期中考试英语试卷(带解析)
绝密★启用前2016-2017学年浙江绍兴一中高二上期中考试英语试卷(带解析)注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I卷（选择题）请点击修改第I卷的文字说明一、阅读理解According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night’s sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”1．Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A. The fetal position.B. The log position.C. The yearner position.D. The freefaller position. 2．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following dayB. Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at nightC. How you sleep at night affects what you do the next dayD. Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortablyOur room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice;I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.It’s one vacatio n I will never forget.3．Where did the author spend her vacation?A. Near a lake.B. At the seaside.C. In a village.D. In a mountain.4．What does the underlined word “overwhelm” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. move.B. impress.C. control.D. excite. 5．What helped them get out of the trouble?A. Their quick action.B. Other people’s kind help.C. The young man’s warning.D. The noise from the vending machine.Science has a lot of uses. It can reveal (揭示) laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The HiddenSources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s at tempt to translate his tale into science.6．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to ________.A. show the value of Brooks’s new bookB. show where science can be appliedC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works7．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its clear writing.B. Its convincing points.C. Its strong characters.D. Its strong basis.8．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Cautious.B. Critical.C. Contradictory(矛盾的).D. Supportive.二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe ocean is always moving：waves break on the surface，sea levels rise and fall with the tides，and currents flow below the surface．Although it looks as if the water in a wave is moving across the surface of the ocean，it is not．The water is actually moving up and down．This is why an object on top of a wave will bob up and down，but not move forward．When a wave reaches the shore，however, the water does move forward．It surges(前进)onto the shore．This is because the “bottom” of the wave drags on the sand and the “top” continues on，crashing onto the shore．This crashing water is called the surf．Most waves are caused by wind blowing across the ocean's surface．The size of a wave depends on how fast and how far the wind blows over the surface and on the depth of the wave．Small winds can cause ripples，while strong winds create large hurricane waves．Along most shorelines．water levels rise and fall twice a day．These changes，called tides．are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon．The ocean surface lifts，or bulges(凸出)，in two places：on the side of Earth that faces the Moon and on the side of Earth that faces away from the Moon．Both bulges cause a high tide on nearby shorelines．At the same time that the high tides occur，low tides occur between the two bulges．Tides are also affected by the pull of the Sun，although the effect of the Sun is not as great as the effect of the Moon．When the Moon and Sun are lined up with Earth，the combined pull is the strongest，causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides．These very high and very low tides are called spring tides．Weaker tides，called neap tides，happen when the Moon and the Sun are at right angles to Earth．High tides alternate with low tides．Along most shorelines，a high tide or low tide occurs about every six hours．11．The word “alternate” in the last paragraph means ．A．appear suddenly B．bob up and downC．change or become quickly D．happen or follow one after another 12．The best title for the passage is ．A．The Moving Ocean C．Tides and WavesB．Ocean and Earth D．Waves and CurrentsBIn a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of f aces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tree branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painter. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. Hedropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the experience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its p hysical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just being lazy. In his view, words can express anything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.13. In the short poem, Ezra Pound .A. tells us one of his painful experiencesB. compares the passengers’ faces to flowersC. describes a man walking among the crowdD. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station14. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was .A. based on one of Pound’s paintingsB. first discovered in a waste binC. influenced by haikusD. completed in 191615. Pound and his friends .A. stressed the importance of using adjectivesB. were good at describing abstract imagesC. decorated their poems with picturesD. used images to express their ideasCSome 30,000 years ago, artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them: panthers, hyenas, rhinos, cave lions, mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time. The paintings were highly realistic. Some even showed movement.The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered. They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23,000 years.Fast forward to December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Marie Chauvet, who led the group then, describes the process of discovering the cave paintings. “At that time I was in the front, Eliette just walked behind me, Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre and she said, ‘They came here.’And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art(壁画). That is where it is tarted.”Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.”Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork. Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written. The United Nations’ cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site. They say thatthe drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it. However, its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.However, French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont d’Arc Cavern. The copy, which we also called replica, cost more than 59 million dollars to build. It opened at the end of April in France.Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern. He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe. He says the place is magic because it is doen so well. Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d’Arc Cavern every year.16. According to Jean Clottes’ words in Paragraph 4, the paintings in the cave were.A.abstractB. superiorC. creativeD. inspiring17. Which of the follow statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave?A.It was closed off for more than 30,000 years.B.It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art.C.The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage.D.The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals.18. The purpose of creating Pndt d’Arc Cavern is to .A.show admiration for the earliest artists in EuropeB.arouse visitors’ awareness of protecting ancient artC.offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artworkD.collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave第二节（本节共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

绍兴一中-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷(解析
浙江绍兴一中2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷（解析版）一、阅读理解1、阅读理解According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality. Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep. “The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps. Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the dayahead. Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy. Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night's sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。
