期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AIf you have a chance to go to Finland，you will probably be surprised to find how "foolish" the Finnish people．Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare．The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety．The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners．Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter．With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge．The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate．From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly．With so many loopholes in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take " petty advantages"．But the strange thing is，all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business；not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real "gentleman"．1.The underlined words in this passage means to ______ ．A. be ready to help others C．be a little ahead of othersB. gain something at other's expense D．make good use of one's friends2.Which of the following is not true according to the passage？______A.

（A）After shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday”, or online on “Cyber Monday”, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”. Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, “Giving Tuesday” is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate “Giving Tuesday” as well!21. What’s the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday”?A. To persuade more people to shop online.B. To make Thanksgiving Day enjoyable.C. To encourage more people to do charity.D. To get voluntary work better known.22. Why does the author advise sharing good deeds on social media?A. To donate money to local schools.B. To keep a record of one’s experience.C. To help people make new friends.D. To make “Giving Tuesday” more popular.23. Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A. Business.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Lifestyle.（B）It is well known to car drivers that red means “stop”, green means “go” and yellow means“hurry up and make that damn light”. Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars. They were red and green, gas-powered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.Red is an inherited (继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures. As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum (光谱), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors. Red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.Green’s wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellow’s on the visible spectrum, meani ng it’s still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow. Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”, while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white. It is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an all-clear. Thus, green became “go”, and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.From the earliest days of motoring up until mid-1900s, not all stop signs were red—many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. In 1950 the yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.But what of those mysterious yellow stop-signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy (层次体系，等级体系), leaving the still-highly-visible yellow to the domain (领域) of “caution”. That’s why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.24. What’s the main reason for the color red’s long being used to mean “stop”?A. It has the longest wavelength on the visible spectrum.B. It represents danger in many cultures.C. It can be seen even in the dark area.D. People prefer red to other colors.25. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. The meaning of red is culture–specific.B. Yellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s.C. Green’s wavelength is just second to that of red.D. Green’s role in traffic lights has changed over time.26. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The significance of road traffic signs.B. The history of railroad transportation.C. The symbolic meaning of different colors.D. The origin and development of traffic lights.（C）Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage (按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on US swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping people in good health in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have approved the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owning partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.27. The author mentions the example of Michael Phelps to show that __________.A. he was injured in his swimmingB. cupping is a kind of important TCM treatmentC. Westerners know a little about TCMD. Westerners attach great importance to TCM28. Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?A. Because Chinese herbs can cure diseases.B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.C. Because Western medicine is more effective.D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.29. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?A. The methods of planting herbs.B. The effectiveness of prescription.C. Lacking in standardization.D. Its stable functions.30. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that __________.A. medicine-making companies lack creativityB. prescriptions are got from the pastC. Western companies are more experiencedD. medicine-making companies lack driving force21-23 CDB 24-26 ADD 27-30 CDCB浙江省嘉兴市第五高级中学2019-2020学年高二英语下学期期中测试试题第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AScott Ward didn't have any risk factors that he knew of for cancer so he ignored the lump on his neck until he couldn't ignore it anymore. Dr. Donald Doll, the doctor who treated Ward for his cancer, said, “We’re seeing more and more younger and healthier patients. They're not smokers or drinkers. It's HPV-related.” “Normally, you think of HPV (人乳头瘤病毒), you think of women,” Doll added, “wh ile it's a misconception that only women have to be concerned with cancers caused by this virus.”Luckily, there's a vaccine (疫苗) that's been around for more than a decade that can protect against the HPV virus. If all boys and girls received it, no one would get HPV-related cancers. The HPV vaccine is best when given to children between 9 and 12 years old, before they are sexually active. But teenagers and young adults can still benefit from the vaccine.Not everyone who gets the HPV virus develops cancer. But it is a risk factor. The agency says about 14 million people in the U.S. alone become infected with HPV each year. Yet, about half of all U.S. adolescents have not been fully vaccinated against HPV, which requires a series of three shots. The CDC says the side effects are generally short term and not serious. They can include dizziness, headache, fever, pain and etc.Ward’s recovery was difficult. But he’s now cancer-free. Ward wishes the HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen. He says if he had kids, he would get them vaccinated. “HPV-related cancers are cancers no one needs to get.” Ward said.21. Who should be worried about HPV-related cancers?A. Only women.B. Everyone.C. Younger people.D. Smokers and drinkers.22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The HPV vaccine is best when given to teenagers and young adults.B. About 50% of all adults in America have not been fully vaccinated against HPV.C. One gets cancer if he or she gets the HPV virus.D. HPV vaccines have some side effects including dizziness, headache, and etc.23. Why did Ward say HPV-related cancers were cancers no one needed to get in the last paragraph?A. It is easy to recover from HPV-related cancers.B. HPV-related cancers are not that common.C. HPV-related cancers can be prevented by vaccination.D. HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen.BI’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the gradual relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. And I’ve long been used to the worn jeans, flip-flops and shorts. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in pajama bottoms. I couldn’t help asking, “Did you just roll out of bed?” “Five minutes ago.” he responded.I’m familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is not important, so long as they’re learning. This is much the same when they say “Grammar and spelling don’t matter, so long as they’re expressing themselves.” Perhaps. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊)the line between bed and desk. I should think that a careful consideration of clothes before entering a formal environment is a sort of visible reminder to oneself (and one’s teachers) that impressions are important and that we have come together to get down to business.I suppose that I come from a time when there were “school clothes” and “play clothes,” and never did the two sorts meet. I grew up in a working-class family, to whom “looking sharp” was important. Personal appearance might have made the difference between getting and losing a job. So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances matter.I think of this lady I had in class a few years back. She was someone to whom science was never easy: She worked hard for respectable grades on every task. But I was impressed by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I mentioned this to her. “Yo u always looked so nice,” I remarked，“as if you were ready to take on the world.”24. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. “Looking sharp” is helpful in getting a job.B. It is wise to blur the line between bed and desk.C. Students are being more and more casually dressed.D. The author believes we should pay some respects to our appearances.25. What does the “school of thought” mean in paragraph 2?A. a college that teaches thoughtsB. a group of students and teachersC. a way of thinkingD. a branch of learning26. What do we know about the lady in the last paragraph?A. She had a talent for science.B. The author was impressed by her casual dressing.C. Her grades were not decent though she studied hard.D. She was one of the students who believed that appearances matter.CWe are surrounded by people trying to make the world a better place. Peace activists bring enemies together so they can get to know one another and feel each other’s pain. School leaders try to attract a diverse set of s tudents so each can understand what it’s like to walk in the others’ shoes.It is true that people who are empathetic (共情的) are more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others. They are more likely to make sympathetic moral judgments. The problem comes when we try to turn feeling into action. Empathy makes you more aware of other people’s sufferings, but it’s not clear whether it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral action. For example, in the early days of the Holocaust, Nazi prison guards sometimes wept as they killed Jewish women and children, but they still did it.Empathy directs you toward moral action, but it doesn’t seem to help much when that action comes at a personal cost. You may feel painful for the homeless guy on the other side of the street, but the chances are that you are not going to cross the street to give him a dollar. Studies investigating the link between empathy and moral action suggest that empathy is not a major player when it comes to moral motivation. Its contribution is slight in children, modest in adults, and nonexistent when costs are significant.Nobody is against empathy. However, it’s not enough. These days empathy has become a shortcut. It has become a way to experience delicious moral emotions without confronting the weaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting upon them. It has become a way to experience the illusion (幻觉)of moral progress without having to do the nasty work of makingmoral judgments. Teaching empathy is a safe way for schools and other institutions to seem blameless without risking dispute or hurting anybody’s feelings.People who actually perform pro-social action don’t only feel for those who are suffering, they feel it necessary to act by a sense of duty. Empathy is less important. If you want to make the world a better place, help people debate, understand, reform, revere and enact their moral principles. Accept that principles conflict.27. Why does the author mention the Holocaust in paragraph 2?A. To show that empathy is limited in preventing people from wrongdoings.B. To prove that empathic people are more likely to make compassionate moral judgments.C. To explain that empathy is helpful for moral teaching.D. To criticize the immoral actions of Nazis.28. What will empathetic people probably do when they see the homeless?A. Reach out to them.B. Ignore them.C. Feel sorry for them.D. Raise money for them.29. According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. People are enthusiastic about empathy.B. Teaching empathy is a quicker way to achieve moral education.C. Empathy alone is not sufficient.D. People are unwilling to take actual actions.30. According to the author, what’s the best way to make the world a better place?A. Try to understand what it’s like to walk in the others’ shoes.B. Be more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others.C. Stop teaching empathy since it is only a sideshow in moral education.D. Take on the duty to act and make real moral progress.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister,Maria. She was seven years old and when my mon was absent she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations(康乃馨)in the flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems(茎)were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor.My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley(插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them” , he said to mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.Mom used to tell us: “Do not touch daddy’s flowers. ” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.续写要求：1、所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2、至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3、续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4、续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

And I ' vettothoebeenn ijsads, flip-flops andshorts. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in pajam a bottoms. I couldn ' t help asking, “ Did you just roll out of bed? ”" Five minutes ago. " he re)I ' m familiar with theschool of thought that says that how students dress is not important, so long as they ' rearning. This is much the same when they say “Grammarand spelling don' t matter, so long as they ' re expressing themselves. " Perhaps. But I also wonder about the wis of blurring (模糊)the line between bed and desk. I should think that a careful consideration of clothes before entering a formal environment is a sort of visible reminder to oneself (and one teachers) that impressions are important and that we have come together to get down to business.I suppose that I come from a time when there were “ school clothes " and " play (never did the two sorts meet. I grew up in a working- class family, to whom a looking sharp " was important. Personal appearance might have made the difference between getting and losing a job.So yes, I ' m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances matter.I think of this lady I had in class a few years back. She was someone to whom science was never easy: She worked hard for respectable grades on every task. But I was impressed by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I mentioned this to her. "Yo always looked so nice, " I re m arkedif you were ready to take on the world. ”24.Which of the following statements is Not True?A.a Looking sharp " is helpful in getting a job.B.It is wise to blur the line between bed and desk.C.Students are being more and more casually dressed.D.The author believes we should pay some respects to our appearances.25.What does the “ school of thought ” mean in paragraph 2?A. a college that teaches thoughtsB. a group of students and teachersC. a way of thinkingD. a branch of learning26.What do we know about the lady in the last paragraph?A.She had a talent for science.B.The author was impressed by her casual dressing.C.Her grades were not decent though she studied hard.D.She was one of the students who believed that appearances matter.CWe are surrounded by people trying to make the world a better place. Peace activists bring enemies together so they can get to know one another and feel each other ’ s pain. Sch try to attract a diverse set of s tudents so each can understand what it ’ s like to walk in the others shoes.It is true that people who are empathetic （共情的） are more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others. They are more likely to make sympathetic moral judgments. The problem comes when we try to turn feeling into action. Empathy makes you more aware of other people ’ s sufferings, but it not clear ’ whsether it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral action. For example, in the early days of the Holocaust, Nazi prison guards sometimes wept as they killed Jewish women and children, but they still did it.Empathy directs you toward moral action, but it doesn ’ steem to help much when that action comes at a personal cost. You may feel painful for the homeless guy on the other side of the street, but the chances are that you are not going to cross the street to give him a dollar. Studies investigating the link between empathy and moral action suggest that empathy is not a major player when it comes to moral motivation. Its contribution is slight in children, modest in adults, and nonexistent when costs are significant.Nobody is against empathy. However, it ’ nost enough. These days empathy has become a shortcut. It has become a way to experience delicious moral emotions without confronting the weaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting upon them. It has become a way to experience the illusion （幻觉） of moral progress without having to do the nasty work of makingmoral judgments. Teaching empathy is a safe way for schools and other institutions to seem blameless without risking dispute or hurting anybody ' s feelings.People who actually perform pro-social action don ' t only feel for those who are suffering, they feel it necessary to act by a sense of duty. Empathy is less important. If you want to make the world a better place, help people debate, understand, reform, revere and enact their moral principles.Accept that principles conflict.27.Why does the author mention the Holocaust in paragraph 2?A.To show that empathy is limited in preventing people from wrongdoings.B.To prove that empathic people are more likely to make compassionate moral judgments.C.To explain that empathy is helpful for moral teaching.D.To criticize the immoral actions of Nazis.28.What will empathetic people probably do when they see the homeless?A. Reach out to them.B. Ignore them.C. Feel sorry for them.D. Raise money for them.29.According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.People are enthusiastic about empathy.B.Teaching empathy is a quicker way to achieve moral education.C.Empathy alone is not sufficient.D.People are unwilling to take actual actions.30.According to the author, what ' s the best way to make the world a better place?A.Try to understand what it ' s like to walk in the others ' shoes.B.Be more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others.C.Stop teaching empathy since it is only a sideshow in moral education.D.Take on the duty to act and make real moral progress.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。
