高二下学期英语暑假作业14有答案
⾼⼆下学期英语暑假作业14有答案⾼⼆下学期英语暑假作业14有答案⼀、任务型阅读理解（A）How would you like to pay?How do you pay for your coffee? Is it with change? I usemy tap-and-go card. I don't even need to enter my PINnumber or a signature to authorise payment. It's quicker andeverybody in the queue is happy.Contactless payments are gaining popularity. Thoseconcerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one go is limited – in the UKit's currently ￡30. But if the card is used a few times in a row, a PIN number will be needed. If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a spending spree, your bank covers you against fraud. Whereas, if someone steals your banknotes, that's your bad luck!For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards, there's a new solution:wearable tech: clothing and accessories that have integrated electronic technology. Kenneth Cukier, an economist and technology expert, says: "You can simply take any wireless card and the chip from it that your bank might issue you with, and you can put it in a coat. When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte. This is intended for people who don't want to take their card out of their wallet, use their phone or their watch." Good, isn't it? And new ways of spending money are not stopping there. The future is all about biometrics. Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival – there's a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger, and use them to authenticate payments – or prove that it's you making the payments. You just need to remember which finger you registered with.nd the temptation to buy more stuff increases. But it's worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort. Back to work then!测验与练习1. 阅读课⽂并回答问题。
高二下学期暑假作业
高二下学期暑假作业(四)第Ⅰ卷（满分70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AParents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load.Do children need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack, make sure that parents get a model that’s designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.Are children going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for1quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market.Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets, and generally, the more pockets, the better. This allows children to organize their things, like pens and pencils inside small pockets.Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise(折中）between form, function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children’s needs.1.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A.Parents should find out how many books their children have.B.Parents must ask teachers for help before buying a backpack.C.Parents should know the weight of things that will go inside the backpack.D.Parents must ask their children’s requirements when buying a backpack.2.The underlined word “bumps” in the third paragraph is closest in meaningto_____C.knocks B. jumps C. standsD. beats3.Which of the following can we know from the text?A.Picking a backpack is very easy to do.B.It’s better for children to have a backpack that has more pockets.C.The backpacks that have a good brand are more popular with children.D.Parents always feel worried when buying a backpack for their children.BDuring the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40－year－old economist，is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success，2help the lower－income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro－poor (扶贫) and pro－rural(惠农)policies，including increasing spending on public health care and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower－income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11－year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft，he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year，the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China，“We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1，000 yuan red packet to the poor，” said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet，many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.“To better use the increase of money，handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life，” said Qiao Xinsheng，an economics professor.4. Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinesebecause ________．A. the poor should get help from the richB. the government should help the richC. the growing economic pie should be shared among the peopleD. the government doesn't know how to use the money5．What has the government done to help the lower－income group?A. Spending less on public health care.B. Increasing the agricultural tax.C. Handing out money to every Chinese.3D. Carrying out pro－poor policies.6．According to some experts，what is better than giving out money?A. Supplying food to everyone every day.B. Cutting the price of energy use in daily life.C. Controlling the rising of prices.D. Increasing the government income.7．Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from ________．A. children receiving red packets from their familiesB. the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizensC. the government's increasing spending on public health careD. the rising prices in the countryCShellharbour City Library provides a range of Library Special Needs Services for people who are unable to access our library service in the usual way.

I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life.5My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.12. What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. It hurt his father’s feeling deeply.B. It has puzzled the author ever since.C. It left a deep impression on the author.D. It made the author dislike dogs.613. What made the author think of the story of about 20 years ago?A. His friend’s attitude.B. The photo of the dog.C. His father’s wound.D. His friend’s suffering.14. Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?A. He was ill-tempered.B. He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.C. He was bothered by an unexpected visit.D. They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.15. What’s the author’s advice to us?A. Help those in need.B. Look before you leap.C. Respect for others is a kind of virtue.D. Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。

AChina has announced it’s abolishing its one-child policy. Whatdifference has it made, statistically speaking?400 million births preventedThe one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.The majority of the decrease in China’s fertility rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 in 1978. Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1.7 by xx.21:28-baby deaths rateSince the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have bee more likely to die than boys.In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per 1, 000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per 1,000 live births died before the age of one - and 33 girls. The xxs saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls.1.16 boys born for every girlSexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China's unusual imbalance.Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It's estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.4: 2: 1 familiesWith the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy, a “4: 2 :1” home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparent, cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.By 2050, it’s predicted that a quarter of China's population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.1. When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal?A. In the 1970s.B. In the 1980s.C. In the 1990s.D. In the xxs2. What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?A. The decline of birth rate.B. The rise of baby deaths rate.C. The change of family structure.D. The decline of working age people.3. The passage sums up the one child policy by ________________.A. numberB. exampleC. contrast DBPicking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is most relevant. That's why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. "No university website is plete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other," reported the BBC. The reason is simple: Rankings help them to attract students, staff and research investment.Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of standards. But the main standards are the same: academic reputation, graduates' performance and faculty(教师)resources.However, experts point out the ranking process isn't entirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz, a US financial aid researcher, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The New York Times. “It may give your parents better bragging(炫耀) rights, but that's about it.”Moreover, it's not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers. It helps British and US universities to dominate (支配) global rankings because English is the favored language of academia, John O'Leary, a member of the QS academic advisory board, told The Guardian.Also, rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students. “Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important,” said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from graduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight(洞察) into the experience or quality of a particular degree program. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey---the actual emotion ofa university experience.”4. Why do universities consider rankings important?A. Rankings make them more appealing.B. Rankings are students' only reference.C. Rankings can increase their academic level.D. Rankings help them plete their websites.5. What does the underlined "It" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Academic research work.B. The number of researches.C. The way of ranking universities.D. The limitation of university ranking.6. According to John O'Leary, what helps British and US universities rank well?A. The wide use of English in academia.B. Their outstanding qualities.C. Their graduates' excellent performance.D. The academia's favor to them.7. Besides ranking, what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if you're picking a university?A. Investment in education.B. Guidance from professors.C. Information on websites.D. Suggestions from s二（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWe all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness —and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick that she couldn’t watch TV.Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. An d even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.1．As a photographer, the author used to ________．A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolvesB. express his love for his family in a special wayC. devote much more to his career than his familyD. miss a great many important historical moments2．Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures? ________A. To cure his own disease.B. To leave the wildness alone.C. To seek a better position.D. To spend more timewith his wife3．What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author? ________A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.B. He has become a stranger to his children.C. He takes his work more seriously.D. He focuses more on medical care.4．The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because ________．A. the snowflakes taste very goodB. snowflakes are what they feed onC. they regard that as a way to enjoy lifeD. there is beautiful light in the snowflakesB．Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first longspan bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York's East River, it provided the first traffic artery （要道）between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.The construction of a bridge over the East River had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State passed an act setting up the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held aggressive views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous figure. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination.Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.5．What was the purpose of building the Brooklyn Bridge?A．To replace an old bridge.B．To set up a model for bridge construction.C．To build a longspan bridge for the Civil War.D．To provide faster and safer transportation than boats. 6．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “deflected” in thesecond paragraph?A．blocked B．developed C. deserved D．indicated 7．Which of the following is TRUE about the Brooklyn Bridge?A．It was built in 1865. B．It is shorter than originally planned.C．It was first proposed after the Civil War.D．It was built by the New York Bridge Company.8．According to the passage, which of the following correctly describes John Augustus Roebling?A．He participated in the Civil War and was seriously wounded.B．He was the first person to propose the construction of the bridge.C．He was chosen to design the bridge because of his aggressive views.D．He moved to America because he was discriminated against in his home country.二（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

In oneclassie experiment, people were showna vertical line and asked to find a line of identical lengthfrom a selection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselvesthey do it very well. However, psychologists have discoveredthat we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when wedo this task in a group. In one study, a group of three peoplewas set up,where two of the people were confederates(同伙)of the experimenter.When the confederates deliberately gave wronganswers,people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people donot want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose 〔onfidence in their own ability to make decisions and preferto trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress.Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street?It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone.When other people are also around,a diffusion ofresponsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman' s assistance.8. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probablymeans“ ”A. seek independenceB. disobey ordersC. seek pleasureD. follow what others do9.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? ToA. explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB. prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC. train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]D. describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others10.

Called the “Bud dy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want t o partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell,school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Fourfourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students’ proposal, and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.Since it wa s installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students, andalready has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”12. Who is Buddy Bench created for?A. Students who love games and activities.B.

AFor their nick-of-time acts, Toby, a 2-year-old dog, and Winnie, a cute cat, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.As Amy Paul choked(哽住) on a piece of apple at her home, her dog jumped up, landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at the wife Cathy’s hair until she woke up and called for help.No one could explain their timely heroics.Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy-----Toby as a4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Cathy’s husband, Eric, had to feed her milk with an eyedropper.As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump being used broke down, spreading carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie went to rescue, the couple’s 14-year-old son was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry sound,” Cathy Keesling said. The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.Amy Paul’s husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple. “Normally I peel them, but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients, so I ate the skin, and that’s what caused me to choke,” she recalled. “I couldn’t breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me. He never does that, but he did, and saved my life.”Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon.1. What would be the suitable title for the passage?A. Great Honors for Cat and DogB. Dog and Cat Honored for Saving Their MastersC. Unforgettable ExperiencesD. So Smart Animals Are2.

The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn't earned money. We're going to drop that department. It's finished. I'm sorry, ---but you'll have to go.” “But, sir---if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that!” said the boss.“ Riverside! I didn't know you had a boy t here. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ (冠)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We've got to close your department, Watson. But you'll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You're here for life.”Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人). But don't worry about me, Dad. They've got a good chemistry department here. And there's one boy here who is really great. He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ.
