广东省广州市培正中学2018-2019学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题_Word版含答案
AIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.“Any old paper, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet scandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen ad stated again on my household budget.The silence in the front door struck me. I looked in. the girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”I looked at my shabby slipcover (家具套). The girl put her cup back in its sauce carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucer.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They didn’t said “Thank you”. They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof covered over our heads, my man with a good, steady job—these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small scandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a whole, I thought, just in case I should begin to feel how rich I am.21. Why did the writer let the children in?:A. She showed great pity on them.B. She had old papers to sell.C. She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of coca.D. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party.22. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps in that _______.A. she saw that the lady’s room was comfortable.B. she saw the cups matches the saucers.C. the writer’s slipcovers were very new.D. the boy thought so23. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on _____.A. how much money you have hadB. how you feel about your lifeC. how you have helped othersD. what job you are doing24. The writer left the muddy prints of small scandals on the floor for a while to_____.A. show her husband that someone had comeB. remind her that she had helped two childrenC. show that she was a kind-hearted womanD. remind her how rich she wasBAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They wouldgo to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆) . Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales, “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to , but it’s been worth it . We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”25．When Daniel was a reporter, he .A．lived in central London B．disliked his jobC．missed his children D．was well paid26．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _________. .A．was easy to organize B．has improved family lifeC．was extremely expensive D．have been a total success 27．What does the underlined “it” in the las t paragraph refer to?A．Child-caring. B．Liz’s advice.C．Downshifting. D．Liz’s job.28．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means .A．repairing your car by yourselfB．spending money carefullyC．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a weekCBefore he sailed round the world alone, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail.His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life.Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends' attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn.After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: "I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again."Just before 9 o'clock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him.Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位) him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth I had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed round the world for the first time.The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish.29. What can we learn about Chichester?A. He failed the solo transatlantic sailing race in 1959.B. He was a brave and determined man.C. The second half of his voyage was not as dangerous as the first half.D. The radio message expressed his concern about the sailing.30.What did Queen Elizabeth II do after Chichester arrived back in England?A. She called on the English to learn form him.B. She was waiting to congratulate on his success in sailing.C. She thought poorly of his achievements.D. She knighted him for praising him.31.We can infer from the text that ____A. Anyone who had sailed alone traveled less than 7050miles before 1966B. Chichester sailed round the Atlantic in 1931C. Most of the English retire at the age of 65D. Chichester died of lung cancer in 1967 after he went back to EnglandDHappy birthdayThe China National Opera (CNO) will give a concert to celebrate its 50th birthday .Different generations of CNO vocalists , like Li Guangxi , Yao Hong and Ma Mei , will present the concert which will feature both songs from famous Chinese operas like “The White-haired Girl” and “The Hundredth Bride”, as well as , arias of such Western opera classics as “Madame Butterfly”, “La Traviata” and “Rigoletto”.Time/ date : 7:30 pm , September 7, 8Location : Tianqiao TheatreTel : 6551-4787, 8315-6170Tickets : 60—500 yuan (US $7.2— 60.2)Folk musicA concert will be held to feature some recently composed traditional Chinese music works .The concert , given by the Folk Orchestra of the China Opera and Ballet Theatre , will include such pieces as “Memory of Childhood ”, “Memorial Ceremony for God ”and “Wine Song”.Time/date: 7:30pm, September 13Location: Concert hall at the National Library of ChinaTel: 6848 –5462, 6841-9220Tickets: 30-200 yuan (US$3.6-24.1)Moon musicA concert of traditional Chinese music will be given on the eve of the Moon Festival which falls on September 21st this year.The concert will feature a number of famous pieces centred on the theme of the moon, such as “Moonlight”, “Spring night on a Moonlit River” and “Lofty Mountain and Flowing River.”A number of established traditional Chinese music performers like Zhou Yaokun and Fan Weiqing, will play solos as well as collaborate with the folk music orchestra.Time / date: 7:30 pm, September 21stLocation: Grand Theatre of the Cultural Palace of NationalitiesTel: 6606—8888, 6606—999932．If you want to buy tickets for listening to the music “Memory of Childhood”, you will dial __.A．6551—4787 B．6848—5462 C．8315—6170 D．6606—999933．Which statement is right according to the passage?A．Li Guangxi, Yao Hong and Ma Mei stand for the same generation of CNO vocalists.B．“Rigoletto” is a famous piece on the theme of the moon.C．“Lofty Mountain and Flowing River” is a traditional Chinese music.D．Zhou Yaokun will play solos and Fan Weiqing will collaborate with the folk music orchestra.34．“Madame Butterfly” is .A．a Chinese opera B．a Western operaC．a piece of music D．a song35．In which column of a newspaper will the article be published?A．Entertainment.

Each year, local residents and tourists from around the world gather to build the tallest, most creative sandcastles. This year, the festival has attracted even more attention due to a competition organized by the local tourism board, offering a grand prize of$10,000 to the best sandcastle.The festival begins with a parade of floats, each adorned with intricatesand sculptures. The main event, however, is the sandcastle competition. Participants are given a canvas of sand that they must transform into a masterpiece within 24 hours. The creativity and skill displayed by the contestants are remarkable, as they work tirelessly to craft their designs.Among the many participants, a group of high school students from Port Marlow High School has caught the attention of the crowd. They are known for their innovative designs and determination.
