江苏省扬州2018-2019学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题一、 and other law enforcement（执行） officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.“In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave home, you can’t guarantee that you will come back,” said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County, Va. After a series of killings in early 2018, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked federal authorities to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 2018, paid for a study conducted by John Jay College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had previously been arrested for a violent crime.That prompted the F.B.I. to change what information it will provide to local police departments, the officials said. Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the F.B.I.’s database, they wil l be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history. Through the first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront （对抗）suspects who seem likely to be armed. In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more officers into crime-ridden areas.Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy. With less money, police departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).The police chief in Camden, N.J., J. Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street “makes it that much more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack another person, let alone a law enforcement officer.”“Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and prepared假设你叫李华，你所在的班级最近就交通事故原因举行了讨论，同学们发表了不同的看法，讨论结果如下班级__________________ 姓名__________________ 学号 ……………封……………线……………内……………不……………要……………答……………题………………2. 开头、结尾已经给出，不计入总词数3. 字数要求：150词左右 Dear editor, Recently, we had a heated discussion about the causes of traffic accidents. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

Opinions are divided. 50% of our classmates hold the view that cyclists are responsible for the traffic accidents because they always ignore the traffic rules. Moreover, cyclists often ride at a fast speed. However, about 40% of the students believe that drivers are to blame for the traffic accidents. First, they often drive fast. Second, some of them drive after drinking alcohol. Besides, most of them speak on the phone while driving. Only 10% of the students think that pedestrians’crossing the roads incorrectly leads to traffic accidents.In my opinion, ….Best wishes!YoursLi Hua。

With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, and unwanted advances.This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported.4. What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion?B．AI helps animals receive human’s sound.A．AI helps people better understandanimals.C．AI helps people do translations better. D．AI can help people develop GoogleTranslate.5. What do we know about the sounds made by animals?A．They can help animals get used to their environments.B．Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds.C．Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans.D．All communications among elephants are infrasound.6. How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were?A．By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing.B．By creating a certain sound with the AI system.C．By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.D．By training other bees to lead them there.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Making an animal version of GoogleB．Recording sounds with AI TranslateC．Receiving infrasound with AI D．Talking to animals with AIRecycling in general can be an effective way to reuse natural material resources. The U.S.’s high recycling rate of paper, 68 percent, has proved this point. But although some materials can be effectively recycled and safely made from recycled content, plastics cannot. Plastic recycling does not work and will never work.The problem with recycling plastic lies not with the concept or process but with the material itself. There are thousands of different plastics, each with its own characteristics. They all include different chemicals that cannot be recycled together, making it impossible to sort the trillions of pieces of plastics into separate types for processing. What’s more, plastic recycling costs more than new plastic because collecting, sorting, transporting, and reprocessing plastic waste is very expensive. Despite this obvious failure, the plastics industry has begun a decades-long campaign to keep the lie that the material is recyclable, which reminds the public of the tobacco industry’s efforts to tell smokers that filtered (过滤的) cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.Traditional mechanical recycling, in which plastic waste is ground up and melted (熔化), has been around for many decades. Now the plastics industry is promoting the benefits of so-called chemical recycling, in which plastic waste is broken down using high heat and turned into a low-quality fossil fuel. In 2018, Dow Chemical claimed that the Renewlogy chemical-recycling factory in Salt Lake City was able to reprocess mixed plastic waste through the “Hefty EnergyBag” program and turn it into diesel fuel (柴油). As Reuters showed in a 2021 survey, however, the pyrolysis (高温分解) process was not worth it.We’re not making a case for hopelessness. Just the opposite(相反的). We need the facts so that individuals and policymakers can take action. Proven solutions to the plastic-waste and pollution problems exist and can be quickly copied across the country. These solutions include placing bans on single-use plastic bags and unrecyclable single-use plastic food-service products, and installing dishwashing equipment in schools.Consumers can put pressure on companies to stop filling store shelves with single-use plastics by not buying them and instead choosing reusables and products in better packaging. And we should all keep recycling our paper, boxes, cans, and glass, because that actually works.8. What is the problem with recycled plastic?A．It costs too much to produce.B．It can hardly be selected out.C．It is generally of poor quality.D．It can’t be stored in large numbers.9. What is the plastics industry trying to do?A．To compete with the tobacco industry.B．To cut down the cost of recycling plastic.C．To uncover the lie of the tobacco industry.D．To prove the possibility of recycling plastic.10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．Traditional recycling proves to be safer.B．Chemical recycling turns out to be a failure.C．Chemical recycling can save energy resources.D．Traditional recycling can deal with limited waste.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To show the difficulty in recycling plastic.B．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic.C．To stress the importance of recycling plastic.D．To call for a ban on single-use plastic products.Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke(1917 — 2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001:A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.12. What do we know about Liu Cixin?A．He became a full-time writer when he was young.B．He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.C．He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.D．He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.13. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ___________.A．his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B．his love of reading science fictionC．his interest in mysteries of the universe D．his confusion when he started writing 14. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A．To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.B．To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C．To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D．To compare the different writing styles in the two books.15. What’s the text mainly about?A．Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B．Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.C．How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D．How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style. Have you ever found yourself saying “I’ll never do that again”, only to find yourself doing the exact same thing just a short time later? 16 It seems all of us have repeated some of our mistakes at one time or another. The good news is that you can take steps to learn from your mistakes.Admit your mistakes.Don’t blame anyone or anything else. Don’t try to hide your mistake or pretend it didn’t happen. Admitting mistakes does not make you look weak. 17 When you admit mistakes, you help developa culture of open communication and a willingness to improve by showing that you want to learn from the mistake.Ask yourself questions.Even though you don’t want to face your mistakes, thinking about them carefully can be helpful. Ask yourself a few questions. What went wrong? What could I do better next time? What did I learn from this? 18 Seeing your answers on paper can help you think more logically about your experience.Make a plan.Keeping feeling sorry for your mistakes won’t help you. 19 Make a plan that will help you avoid making a similar mistake. Be as detailed as possible but remain flexible since your plan may need to be changed.20Sometimes people will point out your mistakes. Find someone who is wise and dependable and who is willing to listen to your explanations of what you’ve tried so far. If you can ask for advice from an expert, that couldn’t be better.Hurricane Harvey struck Texas over two years ago, and many communities continue to feel its effects today.

Aiming to understand each other better and build up our bodies, our class had a spring outing last Saturday.As scheduled, we gathered together at 8: 30 am at the gate of our school. We went to our destination by bus, laughing and singing all the way. Much to our delight, the trip involved mountain climbing as well as a picnic. Hardly had we reached the top of the mountain when we enjoyed an awesome view of the whole city.Exhausted as we were on the way back to school, we all regarded this outing as an unforgettable experience, for it not only made us get close to nature with fresh air and fantastic scenery, but also enhance the friendship between us students and promote our mutual cooperation.读后续写：Now they were twenty miles from Brunswick. And the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con’s mask, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment. Then it was ten miles, and then five. The bus acquired a dark hushed mood, full of silence, of absence, of lost years, of the woman’s plain face, of the sudden letter on the breakfast table, of the wonder of children, of the iron bars of solitude.Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats. They were screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs twenty of them, thirty of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome blowing and billowing in the wind, turned into a gorgeous yellow blur by the passing bus. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.听力原文：1.

My name is Alicia, and I live in the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. Today, I’d like to tell something about my hometown and people here. Here in Guanajuato, music and dancing are a big part of life. There are a lot of festivals here, and many kinds of music. Many young people like rock or pop music but my favorite is traditional Mexican music, which is the kind of music my grandparents and great grandparents listened to. I don’t know why but I’m just crazy about it. I’m a folk dance r, and I love to perform atspecial events, which gives me chances to enjoy myself. To be a folk dancer, you have to love the culture and the music here. That’s the most important thing, but we also need to work hard and practice a lot. We dance in groups, and every person has to know the steps. And we can’t buy traditional folk dance dresses at the store, so we have to make our own. We wear traditional dresses that only come from this part of Mexico.阅读理解详解：A【导语】这是一篇应用文。

Bales left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone.She'd checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed.The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees.She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge (山脊) toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which had been made by a pair of sneakers一typically not the type for hiking.Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong gusts of wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing that, however, kept her on the trail was the sneaker tracks in the snow.Paragraph 1:Bales faced a dilemma(进退两难的窘境) about whether to follow the tracks or not.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Her searching now turned into rescuing the man.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _【答案】Paragraph 1：Bales faced a dilemma (窘境) about whether to follow the tracks or not. If she chose to follow the tracks, it would add time and risk to her hiking, compromising her safety. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger, and s he couldn’t let this go. Spinning around, she called out into the frozen fog, “Hello! Is anybody out there?”Cautiously, she then walked in the direction of the tracks. Hardly had she rounded a corner than she spotted a man sitting motionlessly.Paragraph 2：Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. She approached him instantly and found he was suffering from frostbite on his feet. Without any hesitation, she wrapped his body with warm clothes, and then poured him some sugary drink. The wind roared over and they would die soon if they didn’t get out of there. She supported the man and inched along the trail. With great efforts, Bales managed to save the man’s life. Exhausted, she felt that it was all worth it.江苏省常熟市2020-2021学年高二下学期期中英语试题第二节读后续写（满分20分）57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Mary's house provides the following things except ________．A. a TVB. a computerC. a refrigeratorD. a washing machine53. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. If you are Mary's housemate ,you can surf the Internet for free.B. People who take the 4-week language course can all get a job overseas.C. The cost of the artist training course is $75 each hour.D. Someone who w ants to be Mary’s housemate should pay $3600 a year.BThis was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famouspeople having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.54. The task I received was to find information about ________.A. uses for peanutsB. American War of IndependenceC. George WashingtonD. my headmaster Miss Lancelot55. I ________ after I failed the subject.A. worked harder to prove my abilityB. started to study from the 7th gradeC. was so frightened at the awful resultD. was given a second chance to redo the work56. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.A. the headmaster didn’t like the writer at allB. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistakeC. the writer knew little about American historyD. the wr iter’s grandpa was a very wise man57. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?A. Seeing is believing.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.CWhen you are on a long road trip or in a traffic jam during a daily commute, it may seem harmless to connect your phone to your car's USB port. But unless you really need to use your phone, charging(充电) your iphone during your commute could be a big mistake.Why? For starters, the USB port in our car probably provides less electricity than your phone really needs to charge. As a result, your phone might stop working while it charges.“Many people may notice that on their way home from work their phone charged very little during their 30～60 minute commute，” says Brad Nichols, an engineer at Staymobile. “It is mostly because that the phone is using more power than the car charger is providing it.”Nichols also says that your phone could receive too much power, especially if you are using a cigarette lighter port to charge up. Most cigarette lighters can provide more power than most chargers can afford. If a charger cannot keep providing the proper power, it may make the phone broken.Charging your phone could do harm to your car's battery(电池), too. This usually isn't a big deal for those who own new cars with healthy batteries, Nichols says. But if your car is older, you might not want to charge your phone through its USB port.Most importantly, it's not safe to use your phone while driving. “Anytime a person's hands leave the wheels or eyes leave the road, it becomes dangerous for them and the other people around them，” Nichols points out. Bottom line: Play it safe, and wait until you get home to charge your phone.58．The underlined word “commute” most probably means ________ in Paragra ph 1.A．a talk on the phone B．the task about businessC．the time of using the phone D．the journey to and from work59．How many disadvantages does the passage tell us on charging the phone in the car?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.60．W hat does the underlined word “them” refer to in the last paragraph?A．The drivers. B．The hands. C．The cars. D．The roads.61．The passage mainly tells us ________.A．when is the best time to charge the phoneB．what we should do when we are driving our carsC．why we'd better not charge the phone while drivingD．how charging the phone in the car does harm to the car's batteryDAnother rich man in Venice was Shylock. He made money by lending money to others and making them pay interest. While Antonio did not make them pay interest. He thought it was wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. And Antonio and Shylock didn't like each other .They disagreed about a lot of things and did not talk to each other.When Bassanio visited Shylock. He asked Shylock to lend him thirty thousand dollars and said he would pay it back in three months.“How do I know you can pay it back?"asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me.” Bassanio said.Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance for him . Shylock went to visit Antonio.When he saw him, he remembered how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly.“It's thirty thousand dollars for three months, isn't it?" Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?”Shylock asked.Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried. Perhaps Shylock would not lend him the money, so he spoke to Antonio. Antonio was sorry.“If you lend us this money,”pleaded A ntonio,"I will not call you bad na mes.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract.I will lend you thirty thousand dollars for three months.You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however , let's agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”Antonio agreed. He even told Bassanio that he thought Shylock was kind because he was not making them pay interest. Antonio agreed to the penalty, and they planned to meet at the judge's house.62.From Paragraph 1 ,we can know_______________.A. Poor people in Venice often liked to borrow money from ShylockB. Shylock earned less money than Antonio by lending money to othersC. Antonio never borrowed money from ShylockD. Antonio and Shylock were good friends63.What does the underlined word “pleaded”mean in Paragraph 6?A. 恳求地说B.高兴地说C.紧张不安地说D.愤怒地说64.Which of the following statements is Right?A.

Shylock wanted to earn money.B. Shylock thought it was just for fun.C. Shylock wanted to let Antonio die.D.

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term o f my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income（收入）, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.In New Jersey, an area w ith a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.54. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?A. Because they were born there.B. Because it was a better educational town.C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.55. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?A. About 80.B. About 160.C. About 220.D. About 300.56. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?A. None ofB. The whole ofC. A large number ofD. A small number of57. Why can’t the writer forget Edison?A. Because he regards it as his hometown.B. Because his parents got new jobs there.C. Because there are many Asians there.D. Because it is in the state of New JerseyCSpring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer．During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings．However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring．We need to look at ourselves, set new goals（目标）, and decide how to improve ourselves．In England ,people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year' s resolution（决心）．These can be anything from improving one' s health through exercise or giving up bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance．Luckily, we don' t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and b ecome better people．We can do this whenever we like．The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.Sometimes it' s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there．" I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier．The trick（技巧）with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic(不实际) goals. If we do this, it's easy to lose heart, because the final goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals that you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.58. In Paragraph One, the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time _________．A. to take a walk around outdoorsB. to enjoy fresh air and bright colorsC. to set goals for a fresh beginningD. for animals to have babies59. According to Paragraph Four, the writer agree with ________.A. Be swift to hear, slow to speak．B. All that ends well is well．C. Well begun is half done．D. All roads lead to Rome．60. What does the underlined word "daunting" probably mean in Paragraph Four?A. changeableB. difficultC. lovelyD. dangerous61. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. If you see no progress, you'll be sad.B. Whatever happens, stick to your dreams．C. Never lose heart when meeting with difficultiesD. Your goals should be realistic and small．DIf the population of the earth continues to increase , there will not be enough resources (资源) left to keep life on the planet. We will use up all the oil that drives our cars sooner or later .One possible way to work out the problem, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the ea rth’s resources are completely used, it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus(金星) and create a new world almost as large as Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a little water there.Sagan suggests that algae organisms(海藻组织) can live in very hot or cold temperatures and at the same time produce oxygen. They should be bred(养殖) in conditions similar to those on Venus. When this has been done, In a short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will finally fall and i n a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.62. The population growth on Earth will cause the lack(缺乏) of _________.A. foodB. oilC. spaceD. resources63. What is one of the difficulties for the human race to live on Venus?A. The shortage of the algaeB. The shortage of carbonC. The much hotter weatherD. The much cooler weather64. Whic h of the following statements about the algae is NOT true according to the passage?A. It can live in very hot temperatures.B. It can live in very cold temperatures.C. It can break down the carbon dioxide.D. It can provide enough food for man.65. This passage is mainly about __________.A. the possibility of living on VenusB. the population of the earthC. the American scientist SaganD. the weather of other planets答案：CCA BBCA CCBD DCDA江苏省扬州中学教育集团树人学校2018-2019学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试卷四、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分,计30分)阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.AI really enjoyed this movie.

At the end I said, " Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?"Sonny opened his eyes wide, "Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?"I was shocked, "But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!""He must have wished that," Sonny said, "Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.""He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily."Sonny thought a while. "That's a lie," he said. "He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure."I gave up. Today's children are not like what we used to be. They're just hopeless.( ) 54. What does the underline word mean ________________.A. 侥幸的B. 自然的C. 坚忍不拔的D. 乐观向上的( ) 55.

It is clear that the writer___________ in the end.A. learned a lessonB. won the argumentC. became impatientD. was satisfiedCSmall drones（无人机）can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter（直升机）and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to customers’ doors.The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered（盘旋）, and released the package with a wire. Delivery is here!The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you package.Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step in the series.Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed（武装）drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.( ) 58. Paragraph 2 of the reading is mainly about ______.A. what a drone isB. how a drone worksC. how a drone is producedD. how a drone is designed( ) 59. According to the reading, Project Wing ______.A. flies very highB. releases the package without a wireC. is not big in sizeD. flies faster than birds( ) 60. According to the passage, drones have been in use in the following fields except______?A. military (军事)B. filmsC. deliveryD. education( ) 61. Which of the following is NOT true about the invention?A. The new invention can cut down the time of delivery.B. Astro Teller is the lead scientist of Project Wing.C. Google drones are the next big step in helping people move things around.D. Drones will take a long time to deliver a package.DMany expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice runs after him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a situation which makes people feel puzzled. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distractions(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common.Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.( ) 62. Which of the following situations best fits the expression “to fall down a rabbit hole”?A. When Jack was sitting in the study, he got bored with the homework and felt sleepy.B. When Sue turned On the TV, she chose to watch her favourite programme as usual.C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea. ( ) 63.According to the passage, the expression “to be mad as a March Hare” .A. describes how hares behave in MarchB. shows hares’ characteristics in a funny wayC. is used more often than the expression mad as a HatterD. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter( ) 64. Which of the following characters wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?A. Alice.B. The March Hare.C. The Hatter.D. The Queen of Hearts.( ) 65. The writer mainly wants to ________in this passage.A. introduce a famous novel and its language styleB. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC. explain some English expressions from a famous novelD. explain why many expressions in English come from novels答案：51---53 DDA 54---57 CCBC 58---61 BCDD 62---65 CDDC。
