考查have gone/been to区别。

have gone to去了某地;have been to去过;根据答句的“never”可知,此处表示“去过”,“Mount Tai”是名词,此处要用介词to,即用have been to,故选D。

应用except“除了……以外”。

故选C。

Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool where the problem of most young people of his age isfinding a job. David’s firm releases(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each monthBut David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot he cannot drive a car , take out a mortgage(抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago ,a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had alreadywritten some programs” he said.David spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school” he said, “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway” David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”60.In what way is David different from people of his ageA.He often goes out with friendsB.He lives with his motherC.He has a handsome incomeD.He graduated with six O-levels61.What is one of the problems that David is facing nowA.He is too young to get a credit cardB.He has no time to learn drivingC.He has very little spare timeD.He will soon lose his job62.Why was David able to get the job in the companyA.He had done well in all his examsB.He had written some computer programsC.He was good at playing computer gamesD.He had learnt to use computers at school63.Why did David decide to leave school and start workingA.He received lots of job offersB.He was eager to help his motherC.He lost interest in school studiesD.He wanted to earn his own livingBIt’s not easy being a teenager—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs—to grow while gentlyletting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss s omething, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead , let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him, should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part--time job68. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents _____________.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up69. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably meanA. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help70. The last paragraph is about how to teach ateenager_________________.A. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone quicklyD. to answer the phone quickly71. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to thetextA. Nor allow him to learn driving or take drugsB. Give him advice only when necessaryC. Let him have his own telephoneD. Not talk about personal things with himCThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers,market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speedthat would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came”. An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42%of their market value in the past thee years The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Timesstock . The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education. Its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.53. What can we learn about the New England CourantA. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.D. It comes articles by political leaders.54. What can we infer about the newspaper editorsA. They often accept readers' suggestionsB. They care a lot about each other's health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.55. Which of the following found a new way for its developmentA. The Washington PostB. The GuardianC. The New York Times.D. New England Courant56. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapersA. SatisfiedB. HopefulC. WorriedD. Surprised答案:一、单选1-5 ABBCB 6-10 CDAAD 11-15 ADCBA 16-20 CDBCC二、完形答案:36-40 ABACD 41-45. BBBCD 51-55.

人教版高二英语第一册 Unit 2 单元测试题(含答案)Ⅰ.阅读理解ASummer is that time of this year 2023 when everyone looks to escape from boring activities of life.So bring your kids to join us to have fun in the summer camp.OutdoorWordGameAll you need to do is set up many huge letters that can be easily moved.These letters will help kids spell out certain words.Teenagers would also love something like this as it gives them opportunities to invest their time in learning new words.SprayPaintingTo bring out the creativity in a person,an activity centered on spray painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing.All you need to do is provide plain white T-shirts and some cans of coloured spray paint.It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals.OutdoorTwisterA person will be in charge of monitoring the game and will call out colours which can be placed outdoors.Participants have the task of placing either their hands or legs on the same colour.A fun and exciting game focuses on hand-eye coordination(协调).TheMaze(迷宫)One of the most fun games is the hallway maze game where a maze is constructed(建造) from either toilet paper or strings of paper.The chosen participant is then asked to make his or her way through the maze within a limited time without touching paper.This is one of the best and entertaining summer camp ideas for kids and adults.1.Which game will use toilet paper?()A.Spray Painting.B.The Maze.C.Outdoor Twister.D.Outdoor Word Game.2.What should you prepare for Spray Painting?()A.Some juice cans.B.Some huge letters.C.Some white T-shirts and paint.D.Some white T-shirts and colour boards.3.What is the rule of the maze game?()A.Participants must avoid touching the construction.B.Participants must do the same outdoors.C.Participants must use either their hands or legs.D.Participants must be teens or kids only.BWhat do you plan to do when you retire?Keep working?Get more exercise?Or learn something new?You may put them on hold.There’s a chance that,sooner or later,you might have to move further than you were thinking,as far as Mars.On Thursday,NationalGeographic will show the first-ever Mars show home,giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the red planet.In the not-so-distant year of 2037,the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil,called regolith,which has been microwaved into bricks.Some parts of the home arerecognizable—a kitchen,a bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s,people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun;society will move largely indoors.Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows.The homes will have simulated solar lighting or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick,to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel.The homes will also have a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive,but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek,author ofHowWe’llLiveonMars.This is not just the stuff of sci-fi.“10 to 20 years from now,there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars,but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says.But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game,and influential films such as Gravity and TheMartian have caught people’s attention.4.What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in paragraph 1 probably mean?()A.Put them off.B.Give them away.C.Carry them through.D.Take them seriously.5.What can we infer about the show home from the text?()A.It has no windows or doors due to security concern.B.Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.C.It has thick walls keeping the home under propel pressure.D.Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.6.According to Petranek,what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?()A.The development of related technology.B.The competition from private companies.C.The great influence of the Mars show home.D.The popularity of influential books on Mars.7.What is the best title for the text?()A.Living on Mars:Possible or NotB.Sending People to Mars:Yes or NoC.First-Ever Show Home:How Is It MadeD.Future Home on Mars:What Will It Be LikeⅡ.七选五For years,Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop.Despite its being so close to home,they preferred to dine in,and always tipped generously when they did.But,during the pandemic in 2020,the cafe temporarily closed,then reopened—for takeout orders only.So their new routine became to order online,go pick up their food,and eat it at home. 1That is,until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them.“I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong,because you never leave a tip,” she said.Eric attempted to explain:“Beca use we aren’t being waited on,we didn’t think tipping was necessary.” 2 “She stormed off,” Jessica says.The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips.Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all,while others don’t interact with cus tomers the same way. 3 Meanwhile,many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.“ 4 We were tipping based on emotion,and that may not have had anything to do with the service.And that service also became harder to assess,” says Toni Dupree,a professional etiquette(礼仪) coach.Some old standards no longer seem fair,and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.Next time,in Dupree’s view,you’re unsure whethe r a tip is in order,follow this simple rule: 5 The novelist George Eliot asked,“What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds:“Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”A.When in doubt,tip.B.That made it worse.C.It is service itself that counts.D.Tipping never crossed their minds.E.To enjoy good services,tipping is a must.F.Just as many services have changed,so should tipping.G.Tips dried up in either case,causing a lot of people to suffer.Ⅲ.完形填空I am an imaginative girl.I have always been 1 about the future just like the great novelist,Liu Cixin.What will life be like in the future?What will happen to humans and other living things?When I was a little girl,I often thought about these questions and drew 2 of my imaginary future life in my album.How will people in the future 3 ?Perhaps there will be cities underground,in the air or in the sea,where there will be new kinds of 4 like underground express trains,airships and undersea trains.With 5 technology,we may even be able to fly on a broom,just like Harry Potter.Living conditions will also certainly 6 .Just imagine such a house in 7 it feels like spring all year because of an intelligent thermostat.All complicated and boring chores will be 8 by a robot.As for travel,it may be possible to travel through time and space freely.What if there were time machines to travel to any time in history?If I could 9 a time machine,I would go to the age of dinosaurs and take them to the 10 .By that time,more and more people would 11 dinosaurs as pets—you might even see people walk dinosaurs in the streets.Maybe one day,riding flying dinosaurs to fly to schools in cities will be common.All kinds of creatures will work and play with us.What a harmonious world it will be!However,as science and technology 12 ,pollution may become more serious,and then people will need to 13 new planets to live on.At the same time,human beings may 14 become too dependent on science and technology,but I’m 15 that we can solve these problems step by step.1.A.careful B.worried C.positive D.curious2.A.books B.pictures C.photos D.diaries3.A.shop B.live C.work D.play4.A.shelters B.behaviour C.transportation D.adventures5.A.fast B.official C.advanced

Choose the best answer.The anti-plastic partnershipPlastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems of our times. It is said that about 8 million pieces of plastic are thrown into our oceans every day, endangering marine animals, spoiling beautiful beaches and, worst of all, ending up in the food chain.Thankfully, awareness of this issue is spreading, and many people are determined to do something about it. Many countries have now introduced a “bag tax”, meaning that shoppers have to pay to use a plastic bag. Local businesses (such as cafes) have been asked to stop using plastic cutleryand putting plastic straws in drinks. Many people have started to use everyday items made out of other materials instead of plastic. For example, bamboo toothbrushes are becoming popular. And finally, community groups in towns and cities all over the world are getting together and finding out how they can beat the problem of plastic pollution.One such group is the “Anti-Plastic Partnership” in Appleton, Wisconsin in the USA. The group meets once a week to make cloth shopping bags and to discuss ways in which they can put an end to plastic pollution. The group’s founder, Ella Muster says, “Plastic pollution isn’t going to go away. It’s time for communities to take action, working together for this important cause.”The group meets every weekend, and currently has around 50 members. Ella says, “The local community has been very supportive of what we’re trying to do. Our ultimate goal is to make Appleton a plastic-free city.”1. According to the writer, what is the most serious problem connected with plastic pollution?A. It’s dangerous for animals which live in the sea.B. Plastic gets into the food we eat.C. It destroys beautiful beaches.D. It causes global warming.2. What is a “bag tax”?A. It means you have to pay more tax if you have a bigger bag.B. It means you have to pay if you don’t use a plastic bag.C. It means you have to pay if you use a plastic bag.D. It’s a small fee which every working person pays once a year.3.

James E. Coffee Human Rights Awards for 2006.Her grandfather devoted his whole life to making life better for others and was killed by Nazi soldiers in 1944. She was there when the soldiers took her gra ndfather’s life: “I hid under a pile of leaves. But, you know, I heard it.”She straggled to work through her anger and hate, but it was necessary for her own survival and serf-respect. After the war, she married Jesse Reichek, an American soldier in France, and they eventually settled in the Bay Area, where he grew to become an artist. They came to Petaluma from Berkeley when he needed more room to paint. They built their own home and treasured their time together.Reichek’s years of volunteer work began with caring for an old lady in Sonoma County, which made her sensitive to the fact that many older people were living in bad places. So Reichek created Petaluma’s first senior center. Then she noticed homeless people. With Mary Isaac, she co-founded COTS 15 years ago.These days, she is busier than ever, helping Latino immigrant families and visiting seniors in nursing homes. “Our goal is to promote and educate people in understanding and tolerance (忍受). We must learn to understand and celebrate our differences”, said event chairman Harry Troutt, who serves on the commission.36. The Rev. James E. Coffee Human Rights Awards may be given to _________.A. the students who study wellB. the workers who work very hardC. the volunteers who do a lot to othersD. the scientists who do scientific research37. The underlined word “it” (in paragraph 2) refers to ________.A. Reichek’s grandfather was killedB. Reichek’s grandfather had a hard lifeC. Reichek received an award in 2006D. Reichek survived at last38. According to the passage, COTS should be an organization that __________.A. offers help to the senior peopleB. helps the hopeless peopleC. teaches people paintingD. arranges volunteers’ work39. Jesse Reichek moved to Petaluma from Berkeley because he _________.A. needed more place to paintB. wanted to be an artistC. wanted to help the homeless peopleD. lost his job in Berkeley(B)Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain. But they didn’t find out in the usual way.Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal (木炭) drawings or painted pictures. Carbon is an element found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had an “aha!” moment whe n they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,” said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britain’s University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites(石笋).When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew theart underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown, like the European bison, are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old.The artists came to Creswell Crags, This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hare. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away-another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world.40. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. Cave Art About Animals Is Most BeautifulB. Cave Art Found in an Unusual WayC. Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain’s OldestD. Cave Art in Britain41. The underlined word “archaeologists” in this passage proba bly means people ________.A. who study things left behind by people in the pastB. who have rich experience in paintingC. who are interested in wild animalsD. who are good at using stone tools42.
