高二英语下学期第12周周考试题高二全册英语试题

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校天全中学2015—2016学年下期高二第12周周考英语试题（满分100分时间40分钟）第一节：阅读理解（8*4=32分）AThere is a problem each of us faces in following advice on emotional healing: apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake.It's happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn't bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I'm talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they're expected to be dominant (占优势的). It's like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than guys and are willing to express it. Still, both genders wonder how to correctly apologize.In shifting the focus on apologizing away from you, what does not apologizing do to other people? They feel hurt that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake avoiding reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you do not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from this the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.1．People find it hard to apologize for their mistakes because of their ________.A．emotional feeling B．sticking to theirprideC．making argument D．being trapped in lies 2．Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?A．They don't intend to hurt other people.B．They expect others to forgive them.C．They don't want to be considered weak.D．They aren't good at expressing themselves.3．What bad effect will there be if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?A．Other people won't pay attention to you. B．You will lose confidence in yourself.C．You won't be forgiven even if you tell the truth. D．The friendship will get hurt and go worse.4．From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that ________.A．communication can stop you making mistakes B．mistakes would turn into deeper scratchesC．apologizing is good for you and other peopleD．apologizing is the most powerful in emotional healingBLing Ling is worried as Sept. 7, the last day for her to enter the university, approaches. “My dad doesn't want to pay for my university education as he believes the investment in higher education can't be regained，” the 19yearold told the reporter.Ling was born in a small village in northern Sichuan. Upon completion of their primary school education, her parents started a small business. Five years ago, they moved to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, with Ling and her younger brother. They have purchased an apartment and a small shop there. “My family isn't short of money. My father doesn't want me to pursue university education because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university，” Ling said.Her father estimates it will cost a total of 80,000 yuan in tuition fees and living expenses to finish a fouryear university education. If his daughter works for four years instead, she can earn at least 80,000 yuan in four years. With that money, she can start a small business. “In my neighborhood, at least 10 university graduates cannot find jobs and stay at home ，” her father told the re porter. He said as a primary school graduate, he earned more than many university graduates with his small business. He said his view that attending a university is not worthwhile is not groundless, pointing that nearly 7 million students graduated from institutions of higher learning nationwide this year and their employment situation is not so good.To persuade her father to support her higher education financially, Ling has done many things but in vain. After her story spread online, a survey was made on the website to seek netizens' views. More than 10,000 netizens replied and 71 percent supported her father's view. About 50 percent thought society was a good university and about 20 percent thought a person could improve himself or herself anywhere.Despite strong opposition from survey respondents, 55 readers of them said higher education could broaden one's horizons. They want to help Ling financially since she cannot borrow money from her relatives who share her father's view.5．Why her father doesn't support Ling's higher education?A．Because her family is short of money. B．Because she has to enter a local university.C．Because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university. D．Because Ling's father is a businessman.6．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The worth of university causes heated discussion.B．University will cost much money in tuition fees and living expenses.C．University students' employment situation is bad.D．Society is a good university.7．According to this passage, we know that ________.A．some people consider money more important B．some people consider education more importantC．the majority of people support Ling Ling's father D．the majority of people support Ling Ling8．Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A．Ling is likely to go to university. B．Ling will start a small business.C．Ling will give in. D．Ling doesn't know how to deal with the situation.第二节完型填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)Nowadays, it's not easy being a teenager, nor is it easy being a parent.Parents are __1__ advice for their children on what to learn, but when it comes to __2__ to live, as a matter of fact, they often have __3__ to say.As a result, children may grow up with good manners and much __4__， but without any idea how to __5__ their life.Hereare some basics to help.Firstly, build proper relationships.“No man is an island.” So __6__ with friends will have a sense of belonging and not __7__ from loneliness, whose ill effects have been __8__ among the elderly.If the young are surrounded by friends and relatives, they are more __9__ to recover from their illnesses.Then, try to be honest.Children must be taught to stay honest.It takes courage and training to be honest when people are getting away with cheating and __10__all around.Be __11__ of money.Explain to children that credit cards must be used __12__ and that when buying something using a credit card, they can easily end up paying two or three times more than in cash.Suppose your child __13__ a new bicycle that costs $150. __14__ paying the cash, give him some __15__ pocket money.And by putting aside $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Another thing to keep in mind is to expect a lot from your child, but not everything, which is also __16__.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.（1）What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.（2）What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.（3）What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，由于墓地短缺，巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案，这引起了当地居民的争论。

(英语)高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool!

However, I was most nervous at the idea that I would be doing high school homework.I had just walked into the class when the bell rang. This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly.

I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do.The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still uncomfortab le because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why.The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me.

They were not the state prize w inner; Woburn High had won. “No one would have known,” said Woburn’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn’t a difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.”Coin Stars“College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of P ennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, waspublished to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put awayin the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat downto write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才 ) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made hismasterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 23.（1） When did the author decide to devote himself to writing fictions?A. When he was tired from his work.B. Straight after graduation from law school.C.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure ofthe group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leaderfor a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to beput into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.（1）The passage is mainly about____________.A. choosing a good leader for a group.B. assessing the performance of a leader.C. team members' appreciation of a leader.D. qualities of a good group leader.（2）A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. recognize any mistakes as his own.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. control everything group members do.（3）According to "Concerns for members", which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous（4）Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?A. Offering a chance for group members to express themselves freely.B. Making it possibleto deal with group members' complaints.C. Allowing the leader to put his ideas into practice.D. Making group members productive by sharing their thoughts.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于好的领导所应具备的能力和品质的：责任心、关爱和善于倾听。

高二英语阅读理解周周练（十二）A文章词数约280词难度★建议做题用时7分钟Year after year my brothers, sister and I would wait anxiously on Christmas morning to hear my father's voice saying it was all right to come down. I can remember Christmas since I was probably 6 or 7.Even now as I look through the boxes of Christmas decorations (装饰品), I see the same familiar ones; the ornaments (装饰物) with our birth years on it, our five stockings, four for the kids, one for the dog. It used to be easy for us to decide when to put up the decorations. But now that we all have jobs and social lives, it is usually a rushed activity. I'm still not sure in what year our annual watching of white Christmas ended.Each year, especially as we get older, little things change and the holiday season is when we realize them. It almost brings a pain to a little place in our hearts where all our hidden feelings go. The worst was the year after two of my grandparents had passed away. Now when I think back to it, I miss having my grandfather slide our presents across the floor. I even miss him calling me my nickname "Jessie", even though I can't stand when people call me that.Things change, not always for the good, and not always for the bad either. And the things that don't change have the most important meaning to us. After all, every time I hear my father's words "All right you guys, come on down, nice and slow", I still get the same feelings in the pit of my stomach...the feelings of love, giving, peace, and most of all the true Christmas spirit.1. When the grandfather called the author's nickname, she probably ___________________.A. had a feeling of warmthB. felt quite angryC. couldn't stand itD. joked with her grandfather2. What does the author value most probably?A. All the Christmas customs.B. The true Christmas spirit.C. The boxes of Christmas decorations.D. The good old days.3. Why were five stockings prepared on Christmas Day when the author was a kid?A. There was an extra one for their dog.B. There were five kids in the author's family.C. One was prepared for the author's grandfather.D. There were five people in the author's family then.4. We can infer from the passage that ______________________.A. the author cannot put up with the decorations nowB. the author has lost the most important thing in her lifeC. the author misses the passed Christmas very muchD. the author always feels sad when thinking of the pastKey：1—4ABACB刘景田文章词数约260词难度★★建议做题用时7分钟Most people think of zoos as safe heavens for animals, where problems such as difficulty finding food and avoiding predators (食肉动物) don't exist. Therefore, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age.But that may not be true for the largest land animals on Earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases and they are even unable to have babies.To learn more about how captivity (圈养) affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the lifespans of the zoo-born elephants with the lifespans of thousands of wild elephants. They also compared some Asian elephants living in zoos with some Asian elephants which work in logging camps (伐木场), over approximately the same time period.The team found that elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years, but elephants that died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years. Asian elephants followed a similar pattern. In zoos, they lived 18.9 years, while those in the logging camps lived 41.7 years.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to live so much better than their zoo-raised counterparts (同类). Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada, who led the study, thinks stress and obesity (肥胖) may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild. Elephants' social lives are also much different in zoos than in the wild, where they live in large family groups.1. Most people believe that ___________________.A. animals in zoos should live a longer lifeB. zoos are not good for animals to live inC. zoos are not suitable for large animalsD. captivity can affect animals in many ways2. The purpose of the international scientists is _______________.A. to compare the lifespans of different animalsB. to find out how captivity affects elephantsC. to learn the lifespans of male and female elephantsD. to compare the lifespans of elephants in different places3. Which elephants live the longest according to the study?A. Elephants born in zoos.B. Elephants that live in the wild.C. Elephants that work in logging camps.D. Female Asian elephants in logging camps.4. We can infer from the passage that ___________________.A. elephants in zoos suffer less stress than those in the wildB. elephants in zoos live an easy lifeC. social lives are not important to elephantsD. zoo life can be stressful to elephants5. What are the advantages to elephants in the wild according to the passage?A. They face fewer problems.B. They can find food more easily.C. They live in large social groups.D. They are freer to move.Key：1—5ABBDCCLOZE杨立军It was early September, 2008. Maybe 1:00 am. I had been downtown with some friends, and they were going off somewhere else.
