This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly. Luckily, since it was the first day of school, my teacher talked for about half of the period and we just had the rest of the period to start the class.

It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at me. Then the class started. It was easy.

2018-2019学年高二上学期期末教学质量监测英语试卷
2018-2019学年高二上学期期末教学质量监测英语试卷2018-2019学年高二上学期期末教学质量监测英语试卷一、阅读理解I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied (欺凌) at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life.I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn’t even come close to managing the problem.But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The very next day, I decided to get a dog—a corgi. When I brought my little corgi, Buddy, home. I didn’t realize how much he would change my life. It didn’t happen right away, howe ver.Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feeling again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up. That’s when I saw Buddy.Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There’s no time to be sad; the world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, my life was changing. I really was a new person. This was my new beginning.It’s been more than a year since that day, and I’ve never spent another morning unable to get out of bed. I’ve not cried myself to sleep or spent my days stuck with fear and regret. Sure, I still have days when I feel sad or anxious. But with Buddy, my best friend, by my side, I’ve finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions.1.According to the first two paragraphs, the author ________.A. has been a school bully for yearsB. suffered from depression since collegeC. tried many ways to fight depression but nothing workedD. felt less depressed after taking medication and doing yoga2.How did the author know having a dog might help with her depressionA. a doctor put it forward to her.B. She read it in an article by chance.C. She heard it from some other depression sufferers.D. She found out herself after spending some time with a corgi.3.How does the author feel in the last paragraphA. hopefulB. AnxiousC. ConfusedD. DoubtfulBritish scientists have discovered the willow trees planted at an angle could increase sugars for biofuel production.Willow is a fast-growing species. It is already used to produce fuels for the renewable heating and power market. In future it could also help to produce biofuel to power vehicles. It has been known that when willows growing in the wild are blown sideways, they tend to produce more sugars. But for a while it has not been known why this happens.Researchers at Imperial College London, led by Dr NicholasBrereton and Dr Michael Ray of the Department of Life Sciences, have now solved the mystery. When the tree is blown sideways, its genes (基因) produce large numbers of sugar molecules (分子) to straighten the tree upwards.“This is an important breakthrough. Our stud y now shows that natural genetic changes are related to these differences. And this could well be the key to unlocking the future for green energy from willow,” said Dr Brereton.The research was carried out under lab conditions. The willows were grown at an angle of 45 degrees. They were compared to willows which grow naturally straight upwards. The team then looked for the same effect among the willows growing on the Isle of Orkney where strong winds cause the trees to bend at extreme angles. They discovered that the Orkney trees produce five times the amount of sugars found in willows grown in sheltered conditions.Willow is widely planted across the UK. The results show that biofuel crops such as willows could be grown in climatically changeable conditions where chances of growing food crops are limited.The study is published in Biotechnology for Biofuels.1.What may happen when willows are planted in strong windsA. They stop growing.B. Few sugars are produced.C. They try to grow sideways.D. Changes in genes take place.2.The Orkney willows ________.A. are unusually rich in sugarsB. grow naturally straight upwardC. look taller than ordinary willowsD. are stronger than those growing in labs3.Farmers living in changeable climate _______.A. use biofuel for heating and powerB. are encouraged to grow biofuel cropsC. can plant different kinds of food cropsD. should make their willows grow straight4.Where does this passage most probably come fromA. A personal diary.B. A travel magazine.C. A scientific journal.D. A newspaper advertisement.Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. a doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfe in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone, a chain of similar events eventually leads to a series of destruction.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the consequence (后果) of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your ce ll phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.C. To show the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.2.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may takeA. His social skills could be affected.B. He will cause a lot of destruction.C. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.3.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbingA. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Optimistic.4.What will the passage most probably talk about nextA. Consequences of phubbing.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Advice on how to use a cell phone.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbingThanks to exchange programmes an increasing number ofyoung students are following educational courses in foreign countries. The Erasmus Programme, which started in 1987, is a European Union student exchange programme. It provides opportunities for young people from Europe to study in a foreign country for shot An intercontinental version of the programme, known as Erasmus Mundus, has existed since 20xx, providing non-Europeans the opportunity to study in Europe.Student’s name: Paul DupontErasmus trip: Lyon-AberdeenTime: in 20xxCool! What an amazing time that was! We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun! To me, Erasmus means discovering a completely new lifestyle You live together with new friends in a different country.Sorry, the heating system in our apartment was horrible and the food was strange, but hey... anyhow. It’s amazing!Student’s name: Beatrice Giletti Erasmustrp: Verona-Du blinTime: in 20xxI went to Dublin, in Ireland. It was a great discovery, which opened up the world to me and I made many friends from different countries and cultures. The experience changed my life.I felt richer, smarter and happier after my time on Erasmus. My English became almost fluent and I knew so much about the world and about the people who live in it... Internationality has become part of my life, and I could not imagine living or working in a non-multicultural or non-multinational environment.Student’s name: Wilmie Boot Erasmus trip: Rotterdam—Naples Time: in 20xxWhen I first arrived, the first of the city of Naples struck meand I loved it from the first second! The language is a beautiful mixture of Italian, Greek, Latin, Spanish and the influences of the villages surrounding Naples. I have wonderful memories of my year in the Universita Federico Ⅱ in Naples and the time spent in our dormitory, where I was the only foreigner among the Italian students.

If Wilmie had a choice again, she would choose no other places than Naples.二、七选五Social PhobiaIt is natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. 1. It’s probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).2. It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunch time, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that may help people improve their skills even furtherIt is really sad, isn’t it But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes the willingness patience and courage to face fears.3.Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. 4.They can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged.Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. 5. As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.A. Friends can overcome their fears easily.B. But for someone, the anxiety can be extreme.C. They are not able to make eye contact with classmates.D. Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities.E. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.F. It also takes an action to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.G. The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.三、完形填空Two brothers, Ruby and Harry lived in Spain.

AThe Coolest InventionsAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than and growing. The way to clean it up n ow is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instea d, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap tra sh. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disabili ty, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrot e, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my s hoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challeng e. This year, they came out with their solution: the Fly Ease. T he basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Fly Ease shoes sells for $ 130.An Airport for Drones (无人机）As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery s ervice, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer . There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. T he goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies , electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. C onstruction is set to be completed in 2020.1.

Because they are receptive to new technology.BI really love my job because I enjoy working with small childre n and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I woul d never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I starte d thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to off er. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job—looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the pr oblems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be ther e if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agr eed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I w as getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Meg an who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situa tion. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualifi cation（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be acce pted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persua ded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful . My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got wor k helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I ha d known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren ’t top of the class at school.4. What is the author’s present job?A. Working part-time in a college.B. Taking care of children for a family.C. Helping children with their schoolwork.D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.5. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ________ .A. was paid for extra workB. often worked long hoursC. got much help from her bossD. took a day off every other week6. Why did the author leave her first job?A. She found a full-time job.B. She was fed up with children.C. She decided to attend a part-time course.D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.7. What has the author learned from her own experiences?A. Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D. One must choose the job one likes.CIn some islands north of , head lice, which live on the hair or s kin of people or animals, were a part of life. If the lice left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people ha d lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method to thei r madness: As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patie nt improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and ef fect. If the lice leave the sick, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet. When the fever breaks, they return. We may laugh at this story, but false causalitymisleads us pra ctically every day.Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XY Z Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” This statement says very lit tle—least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It mig ht simply be the other way round: Women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ—and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick hair” o n the bottle.A further example: Scientists found that long periods in the ho spital did harm to patients. This was music to health insurers’ears, who, of course, are keen to make stays as brief as possi ble. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment. Recently I read that students get better grades at school if the ir homes contain a lot of books. This study was surely a shot i n the arm for booksellers, but it is also an example of false ca usality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to valu e their children’s education more than uneducated ones do. Pl us, educated parents often have more books at home. In shor t, a dust-covered copy of War and Peace alone isn’t going to influence anyone’s grades; what counts is parents’ education levels, as well as their genes.Another example of false causality was the supposed relati onship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳) p airs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot them on a graph, the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 app eared almost the same. Does this mean the stork actually does bring babies? Obviously not, since this was a purely acciden tal connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause t urns out to be the effect, or just the other way around. And so metimes there is no link at all—just like with the storks and babies.8. Which is an example of false causality?A. Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampoo.B. Birth rate and the stork population are connected.C. Longer periods in the hospital benefit patients.D. Lice can make a person sick and feverish.9. The underlined phrase “a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 m eans _____.A. painB. defeatC. guidanceD. e ncouragement10. According to the author, students get better grades proba bly because _____.A. their homes are full of booksB. they have read War and PeaceC. their educated parents value educationD. their parents are successful booksellers11. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A.linked events may turn out to be unrelatedB. cause and effect are interdependentC. connections are mostly cause and effectD. connections are pure accidentsDAn artificial intelligence chatbot (聊天机器人) called TacoBot from fast food chain Taco Bell now lets yo u order a meal in a smartphone text exchange that might look something like this:TacoBot: Hello there. I’m your TacBot. I can help you order a meal for you or your team.You: Can I order one soft taco (墨西哥煎玉米卷) with beef? TacoBot: Sounds good. Do you want to keep adding stuff? M aybe some bacon?Brands like Taco Bell and some tech companies are betting th at more and more people will start using this conversational w ay of interacting online instead of clicking through on-screen menus.If the trend catches on — as firms like Facebook and Microsof t expect — it could transform the digital landscape by allowingsmartphone users to find information or make purchases with simple text messages, ignoring apps and search engines. A mong the companies already developing or launching chatbot s are the Wall Street Journal, CNN and retail giants Sephora and H&M.“I believe we are headed to a shift where this will become one of the primary ways we interact with the digital world,” says M ark Beccue of Mark Beccue Consulting, who follows trends in the messaging market. “The chat user interface(界面) is what makes sense for a mobile-first world. You can be more specific and be quicker.”Messaging services have become a natural place for chatbots to reside(居住), since their usage is growing: at least 1.4 billion people us ed a messaging app last year. According to Business Insider I ntelligence, messaging apps have overtaken the largest socia l networks in the world.The messaging service Kik meanwhile launched its own “bot shop”, with partners including retailers and game developers. Kik said the move was a response to the trend people using f ewer apps and spending more time on chat platforms. “There’s nothing to download, no new registration required, and you can use an interface you’re already familiar with: chat,” Kik said in a statement.However, some analysts remain skeptical on chatbots as the wave of the future. Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research said th e movement is largely driven by Microsoft and Facebook, two firms which would like a greater presence in mobile even thou gh they don’t control the biggest smartphone operating syste ms. “There’s a lot of hype (炒作) around chatbots,” Dawson said.Artificial intelligence has come a long way with systems like A pple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana, but still c annot deal with all possible situations, says Roger Kay of End point Technologies Associates. “There’s a kind of hubris (自大) that someone could expand the one-to-many communication method to every human interaction,” Ka y said.12. Why does the author mention the smartphone text exchan ge at the beginning?A. To indicate that more and more people begin to hate orderi ng food by clicking online.B. To reflect that Taco Bell is turning to a new sales method t o compete in the market.C. To show that chatbot will become more and more popular among people.D. To inform the readers of a convenient way to purchase wh at they want online.13. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. using chatbots has been a main way we interact with the di gital worldB. messaging apps still haven’t taken the place of social netw orks at presentC. Microsoft thinks that tech companies should no longer dev elop search engines.D. people could use chatbots by downloading messaging app s on the Internet.14. The messaging service Kik launched its own “bot shop” fo r the following reasons EXCEPT that ____.A. more and more people tend to use fewer appsB. some tech companies have developed their own chatbotsC. chatbots are more convenient to use than some appsD. people are accustomed to chatting in an interactive way15.

Fences mayhelp keep out wolves, especially if the fences are at least two meters high. For best results, the bottom of the fence should extend (延伸) about fifteen centimeters into the ground.The experts also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept.And they advise people who see wolves around their property to chase them away by shouting, making loud noise or throwing rocks.For home gardeners, a two-meter fence might help keep out deer. To keepout rabbits, a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high. It should- 7 -extend over fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it.28.Which of the following is Wildlife Services expected to do accordingto the passage?A.
