2019学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题（总分：120分时间：100分钟）一、阅读理解。
（30分）AI have never taken cooking classes in my life. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook.The main reason for this was that when my mother got married，she didn't know how to cook anything，not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking. My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. After she got married，she had to cook for herself and my father. One morning，she cooked two eggs for my father，but she didn't make them cooked. My father had to go to work with an empty stomach. My mother felt very sorry for my father and she decided to learn to cook from then on. In the beginning，it was very hard for her. Therefore，she had to take cooking classes to prepare the meals.After having that experience，she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me to have the same experience. I remember when I was seven years old，and my mother was cooking，I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her.Nowadays，I don't need help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself alone or for a group of people；it doesn't matter. All has been done because of my mother. I will do the same with my children when they are young because I don't want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them，I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.1．Why couldn't the author's mother cook before she got married?A．Because she was too lazy to do any cooking. B．Because she was tired of doing that.C．Because she was too busy to do that. D．Because she wasn't permitted to do that.2．How did the author's mother feel when her husband left for work with an emptystomach?A．Disappointed. B．Ashamed. C．Worried. D．Helpless.3．It can be known from the last paragraph that the author ________．A．becomes a famous cook with the help of her motherB．decides to teach her children to cook when they grow upC．wants to make her children live alone when they are youngD．is grateful for her mother's teaching her to cookBThere was once a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for t he good.”One day the king went hunting and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied, “Everything happen s for the good.”This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison. The king then asked his advisor, “Now, what do you think?” The advisor again answered, “Everything happens for the good.”About a week later，the king went on another hunting trip. As it turned out the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the king’s foot was i njured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.It is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good. If you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where we are today and make us a better person. So whatever challenges that we may face today, consider it happening to bring us to the next level.4. The second paragraph tells us that______.A. the advisor didn’t have much useful adviceB. the king was alwayscareless about everythingC. the advisor was worried about the kingD. the king always asked for advice from the advisor5. When the advisor was put in prison, he remained_____.A. calmB. nervousC. angryD. upset6. It can be inferred（推断）from the last paragraph that______.A. everything happens for their own reasonsB. it is good for us to think about experiencesC. our life experiences are our best teacherD. challenges will make you do anything7. By telling the story, the writer_______.A. tells us the danger of huntingB. asks us not to hunt any moreC. wishes us to follow others’ adviceD. wants us to think positivelyCAnyone can write a baby poem. And everyone enjoys reading them, young and old. Baby shower (婴儿洗礼) poems can have rhythm and rhyme, but they certainly don't have to. Poems can be either long or short, but short is probably best for your typical baby shower needs. You can add a little humor as well!The people who are most often touched by baby shower poems are those who have had children themselves. Sweet poems can remind them of the time when their little ones were still young. No one will appreciate them more than the family members themselves. If you are a creative writer or have a special talent for putting words together in a special way, then you should try writing your own baby shower poems. This would make a great gift idea as well.If you decide to write your own baby poems, even common things can inspire you. Inspiration can be found anywhere. Look to your own memories from the past. What was special about your childhood? What special object have you treasured over the years? What words of wisdom (智慧) of advice could you pass on to the next generation?Look around the house and imagine a baby being there. What do you see, hear, or feel? Let those thoughts be the source of your best baby poems.When writing a baby poem, you do not have to write like Shakespeare, you just have to be sincere. Years later when the baby has grown, think of how special they will feel knowing the words were just for them.If you are not the creative type —don't worry! There are lots of places online where you can look for poems saying just the things you want to say. Poems have been written on all subjects throughout the ages, and baby poems and baby shower poems are no exception. A quick search online doesn't have to take any time at all. 8．In the author's opinion, baby shower poems ________.A．all have a little humor in them B．are not suitable for adults to enjoyC．don't have to have rhythm or rhyme D．must be short enough to meet babies' needs9．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Advice from famous poets on writing poems. B．Words that can be used in baby poems.C．Different ways of writing baby poems. D．Inspiration for writing baby poems.10．According to Paragraph 4, a baby poem should sound ________. A．encouraging B．sincere C．beautiful D．interesting11．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Write baby poems to say what's on your heart B．The most beautiful poems in the worldC．How babies read poems D．How poems inspire babiesDDue to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking (减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.12．What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year?A．It's freezing. B．It's hardening. C．It's melting.D．It's expanding.13．What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska? A．Their young are dying. B．Their diet is changing. C．Their health is improving. D．Their families are growing. 14．What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay?A．They are having fewer young now. B．They suffer from various sicknesses.C．They don't need stronger protection. D．They can't find enough good males.15．In which publication would you most likely find this passage?A．Medical News. B．Society Today. C．Wildlife Journal.D．Design Magazine.二、完形填空“Lend a hand to others if you can，” I often tell myself.

He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader’s surprise.

2019学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题一. 阅读理解(共两节，满分30分)第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）A1．What number should you call to buy an automobile business?A. 3421577.B. 9497221.C. 6560232.D. 3328725.2．Whom should Dora call?A. Stein.B. Walter.C. Mr.Kent.D. Mrs.Meikle.3．What does Mrs.Meikle want to do?A. Run a farmB. Apply for a position.C. Employ a working partner.D. Show her talents in business.BFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.4.

After she entered primary school, Zhang realized she would never have a left hand. At that time, painting helped her win confidence in life. Zhang performed well academically in high school. At the same time, her love of painting didn’t become weak and she dreamed of settingup her own art school. Due to her hard work, she achieved high scores in the college entrance exam, and in 2011 she was accepted into School of Art and Communication of Beiji ng Technology and Business University. She won the school’s top scholarship every year.Zhang set up an art school in Changchun in 2015. In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League named Zhang one of the 20 young people who set an example to the young by being kind hearted.“Disabled people may have less chance in their jobs and more inconvenience in their lives than normal people. But that doesn’t mean we are unable to make good achievements. We must be brave, and we must believe in love and teamwork. Life will smile on us in return if we work hard,” Zhang said.8.

Disabled people may have more chance to get employed.DA new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth．Until now，it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience—what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught（though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing）．But in the new study，researchers describe a method for improving this skill，along with experiments to prove it works．The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it．This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence，so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence．First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests．Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game，in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard．During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance，manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time．The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively．To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills，the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training．The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，were striking．Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater．Moreover，the longer they trained, the higher their scores were．All performers，from the weakest to the strongest，showed significant improvement．“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training．” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper．“No one knows how long the gains will l ast after training stops,” he added, “and the experiment’s design did not allow theresearchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains．”12. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was ______________．A. memorizing telephone numbersB. improving working memoryC. training in concentrationD. recalling a card13. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence EXCEPT___________．A. ignoring irrelevant itemsB. monitoring ongoing performanceC. managing two tasks at the same timeD. using previous experience14. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers______________．A. trained the four groups for the same period of timeB. only made comparisons between the four groupsC. compared the four groups with control groupsD. trained the four groups together15. By writing the article，the writer intends to ______________．A. inform the readers of a new studyB. call on people to be trained to increase intelligenceC. prove one’s born brainpower can be improvedD. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)It is important to have good study habits. 16．___ Here are a few tips to help you in your studies.17．___ It’s OK to spend a little ext ra time studying right before a big test, but you don’t want to try to learn everything that night.

The report says: “It has been estimated (估计) that 75—90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.〞It is no exaggeration (夸张) to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).〞However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2022 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2022 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.〞As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,〞there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.〞The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.〞One survey revealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.〞What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.〞The report observed that “severa l countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.〞41. The author quoted (引用) “America’s No.1 Health Problem.〞(in Para. 1) in order to _____.A. talk about health problems in AmericaB. introduce the topic of stressC. emphasize the stress in AmericaD. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress42. Which of the followings is NOT true?A. The threat of stress is bigger than cancer and AIDS.B. Stress is always from working and health care.C. Some of Americans care about international conflict and terrorism.D. A lot of English people become ill as a result of stress.43. What’s the bes t title for this passage?A. America’s No.1 Health ProblemB. Attacked by StressC. How to Deal with StressD. Working Stress around the World〔B〕I fell in love with England because it was quaint〔古雅〕—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fash ioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners —people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb〔花了许多钱〕on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex〔英国一郡名〕I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.44. The writer doesn’t like London because she ________ .A. is not used to the life there nowB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there45. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?A. In a cafeB. In a restaurantC. In a nightclubD. In a pub46. The underlined part “it〞(in Para.4) refers to ________ .A. a taxiB. the moneyC. a bombD. public transport〔C〕Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand〔品牌〕of product on the shelf.Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged〔包装〕in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package —blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote〔促销〕their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.〞47. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?A. The cost of its packageB. The price of the productC. The colour of its packageD. The brand name of the product48. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off〞(in Para.3) means that the colours ________ .A. attracted the customers stronglyB. had weak effects on the customersC. tricked the customers into shoppingD. caused the customers to lose interest49. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?A. The way to promote goods.B. The discovery of a genius.C. The team to produce a good productD. The brand name used by successful producers.50. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?A. Choice of Good Products.B. Disadvantages of Products.C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping.D. Brand Name and Shopping Tricks.一、单项选择1—6 ACCCC 6—10CCCCB 11—15CBCBC 16—20CACDA解析：5. 此题考查动词-ing形式作主语。
