ALi Chunlin, a farmer, used to live in a poor village in the north of Shaanxi. In the 1980s, he went to Shenzhen to make a living with his wife.Years later, they became rich and returned to their hometown. To their surprise, the land around the village was covered with sand. That made them feel sad. After thinking carefully, Li and his wife made up their minds to fight against the sands.They bought thousands of young trees and planted them around the village. However, only a few survived, because the trees were not regularly watered. But how to get water was a big problem. They dug a well but it became dry soon. Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well. Clear water appeared, but their money was used up. They couldn’t aff ord to buy young trees. They went to several banks for help but got nothing. Finally they turned to a friend who was also from the village. The friend had a big business. Learning what they were doing, their friend was moved and decided to do something for their village too. So he offered the money they needed.With the money, they bought trees and had them planted. They looked after the trees as if they were their own children. After some time, green leaves came out. When the villagers saw the changes, some started to join Li and his wife in the fight. Then more joined. Years went by. And now larger areas around the village are covered with green trees.21. When Li and his wife returned from Shenzhen, they were sad because __________ .A. the land around the village was covered with sand.B. they didn’t have enough money to buy trees.C. their village was not as beautiful as Shenzhen.D. they didn’t have enough water to drink.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Li and his wife dug a well with enough water themselves.B. Li and his wife got much money from the banks.C. The villagers didn’t join Li and his wife in the fight.D. Their friend gave Li and his wife some money to buy trees.23. This passage is mainly about how Li and his wife __________.A. tried different ways to find waterB. made money in Shenzhen.C. fought against the sands.D. bought and planted trees.BIn the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls . I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.24. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter25. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.

Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵）.Will was interested in music, especially rap music. He began rapping when he was 12 years old. Although he soon became good enough to make a recording, Will hesitated to do so. At that time, rap music featured a lot of violence. Will was against violence in songs. He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.As he grew older, Will’s charm and sense of humor impressed many people. He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧), The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show was successful, and Will lived up to his nickname. Will’s acting career led to starring roles in majormotion pictures. Independence Day which starred Will Smith, earned more money than any movie in 1996. The following year, Men in Black earned the most money in 1997. The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist. He began mixing his interests, music and acting. His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award, while his next film, Enemy of the State, thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career, music is still his first love. He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting. Although Will’ s sense of humor is evident in his music, he often writes songs with meaning and purpose. Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son. Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older. Family and friends are very important to Will. They are what encourage him to continue in his career.28. Will Smith was given the nickname “The Prince” at school because_________.A. he was born in a royal familyB. he was generous and handsomeC. his way of talking was charmingD. he was more clever than any other student29.

Will Smith became famous as a recording artist because of his performance in________. .A. Men in BlackB. Enemy of the StateC. Independence DayD. Just the Two of Us31. What can we learn about Will Smith from the last paragraph?A. He prefers acting to singing.B. He owes his success to his young son.C. He is grateful to his family and friends.D. He finds acting is the most challenging.DMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry(洗好的东西) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s im portant for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you @ timeforkids, com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.32. How does the author start the passage?A. By presenting some facts.B. By listing some evidence.C. By comparing different views.D. By stating his own experiences.33. According to Susie Walton,_________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about__________.A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores35. The purpose of writing the text is to_________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author’s viewpoint about parenting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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

甘肃省武威市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期第二次月考试题本试题分为第I卷和第II卷两部分。
第I卷为选择题，第II卷为非选择题。
第 I 卷（选择题，共100分）第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出最佳选项。
APopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. E ven some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.1. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong2. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.3. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables4 The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise5. Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachBOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?”I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.。

AWhat would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could desi gn the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kid s spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day . Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play gam es or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the worl d instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history an d the world is open to you.”There is a lot of information to be found online. For example, i f your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before y ou even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; w hat’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whene ver you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual虚拟 journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get y ou thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask forpermission before downloading programs and software into y our computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website.Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to . Or, visit ancient monu ments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s f amous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.1. According to Russell, the kids _________.A. spend too much time on the InternetB. should never chat and play games onlineC. can solve their problems through the InternetD. should study hard instead of chatting online2. From the passage we know that _________.A. we can find much information we need onlineB. Neil Armstrong traveled to the moon aloneC. the kids can download programs onto the computer freelyD. the kids can visit the new website freely without parents’ gu idance3. According to the passage, if you want to go to Tropical Rai nforests, you can _________.A. take the time shuttleB. go to the cinema to watc h 3-D filmsC. find a travel agency in GoogleD. use Google Earth4. The passage is mainly intended for _________.A. parentsB. kidsC. teachersD. adults5. In which section of a website can we probably read this passage?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Internet World.D. Touris m.BWe have all heard the old phrase “attitude is e verything”, and that phrase is certainly true. Your attitude can have a great im pact on your personal motivation, so it is important to keep a positive attitude no matter what challenges you face.As a matter of fact, keeping your attitude positive in the face o f difficulties is the motivation tip that most successful business owners will tell you. The most successful business owners, fr om Sam Walton to Bill Gates, have all been able to triumph in the face of unpleasant situations. It is those successful busin ess owners who tell you that attitude is everything. But how y ou deal with that knowledge will determine your level of succe ss.One of the most important ways to carry out “attitude is everyt hing” is to observe who you associate with and who you surro und yourself with. That is because when you surround yoursel f with negative people, their negative attitudes will infect you. So keeping your associates, colleagues, co-workers and friends as positive as possible is a great way to p ut the phrase “attitude is everything” into practice.Whatever you decide to do in life, your attitude will have a gre at effect on the success you achieve. Success, whether in the world of business or in your personal life, is directly related to your attitude, and the attitude you bring to your work. A positi ve attitude will help you achieve greater success in your job, n o matter what your current level of employment.6. According to the text, Sam Walton __________.A. is more successful than Bill GatesB. has given readers some tips about successC. has never dealt with unpleasant situationsD. is one of the most successful businessmen7. One useful way of carrying out “attitude is everything” is___ _______.A. not letting others affect your decisionsB. not making friends with people who are unsuccessfulC. keeping the people who surround you positiveD. getting some advice from successful business owners8. What’s the best title for the text ?A. Attitude Determines Your SuccessB. Motivation Tips From Successful PeopleTo Deal With Unpleasant SituationsD. Making Friends With Positive PeopleCIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers（生产商）follow certain uniform standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standar d adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to b utton from the right, and women's from the left. Considering m ost of the world's population—men and women—are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sens e for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left ?History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared o nly on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich wo men were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left w ould be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselve s, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would b e less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoni ng from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women's shirts that b uttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyon e who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shi rts.9. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industr y?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.C. It works better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.10. Women's clothes still button from the left today because__ _______.A. adopting men's style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change11. The passage is mainly developed by___________ .A. analyzing causeB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time orderDWho is your role model? Normally the answer tothis question would be anyone around you who you find truly i nspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King. Jr. , who have proven to be s trong and intelligent people.However, in today’s world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate模仿 their actions for two major reasons. Firstly, to be fashionabl e and accepted by popular culture, and secondly because sta rs’ actions are so well documented记录 by the media that it seems to attract our attention and turns it to following stars’ lives. Much of the reports about stars is s hocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren’t right f or teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is descri bed beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can’t always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have co ntrol over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every mo ve they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be i mitated. These people influence teens whether or not they wa nt to. Why should someone who doesn’t want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It’s our responsibility as teens to know right fro m wrong, and it’s time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so，we will lean toward偏向，倾向 those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.12. According to the first paragraph, _______ can usually be r ole models.A. political leadersB. wealthy writersC. people inspiring othersD. people with great intelligence13. What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars?A. Interest in stars’ life and expectation of getting rich.B. Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popul ar examples.C. Intentions to gain acceptance and encouragement from sta rs’ lifestyle.D. Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass me dia.14. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teena gers to _______.A.lose a control over their own bodies and actionsB. be responsible for their own choices and behaviorsC. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popularD. choose wrong role models according to different reports15. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. stars have the responsibility for teenagers’ actionsB. not all famous stars choose to influence teenagersC. teenagers choose those bad people as their role modelsD. stars set examples immediately they stepped into the spotli ght第二节根据短文内容，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.People often say you never get a second chance to make a fir st impression, and that's actually quite true. 16 After all, m aking a good first impression is all about making others feel g ood when spending time with them．The following tips will hel p you make a positive impression every time．● Dress appropriately17 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situat ion-appropriate clothes for social situations．It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either．● Be aware of your body languageWords express very little of what you say．Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level ． 18 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfo rtable, important and special．Nervous body language can m ake others uncomfortable and anxious．Try to be aware of yo ur body language when communicating with others．● Respect the opinions of othersNot everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendl y disagreements can be a gateway toa great conversation.

She was heartbroken that her grandmother, Rita, wouldn't be able to come to the celebration because she had to stay at a nursing home for several days after an operation.

After they set up the meeting room with party favors and decorations fit for the theme, Ellie and her friends knocked on Rita's door and asked her if she'd join them for a tea party. "I think she was in shock," Kimber said. "She was so choked up and had tears streaming down her face.

The word "breakdown" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to "_ "A failureB analysis C.application D.damageCMost dating services match their users by the things they like, but a new dating app called Hater completely turns this idea on its head, using common disinterest to help people find love. Hater founder Brendan Alper first came up with the idea for the app as a joke. But the more he thought about it, the more he became convinced that it would actually be an interesting real-life dating app, and after finding some scientific studies that confirmed his intuition (直觉) , he decided to tum it into a reality. Hater has been in testing since last December, and will be officially available for Android devices soon. So get ready to let the things you hate guide you to true love."What we hate is an important part of who we are," Alper says. "We want people to express themselves more honestly. Plus, it's easy to start a conversation with someone if you know you both hate something. Hater finds potential matches based on the things you hate and your location""Dating is supposed to be fun, somewhere along the line, dating apps lost sight of that," Alper adds. "Hater wants to bring it back " It's a breath of fresh air in the online dating service scene, and the company claims that they've received very positive feedback during the testing period. Who knows, maybe hate can sometimes bring people closer.One thing that Alper and his team can't stand is negative behavior, and to make sure that doesn't happen they carefully monitor the thousands of topics available on Hater and have a one-strike policy for users who act inappropriately. "Hater absolutely does not stand for hate speech-particularly hate toward races, religions, or body types," the app terms of service state.28. What is said about Hater in the first paragraph?A. There is nothing special about it. B It is not ready for public use yetC. It was first intended to help find love.D. It was founded without much thinking.29. What does the underliried word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Dating.B. The line.C. Sight.D.Fun30. What are Hater users welcome to do?A. Start as many topics.B. Begin with hate speechC. Behave positively.D. Show the dislike of races.31. What's the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a match-making app.B. To inform how to find love online.C. To explain why hate can bring people closer.D. To show the operating principles of dating app.DOn Jan.11, 1964, Dr Luther Terry, the US surgeon general of the US Public Health Service, released The Surgeon General's report of 1964, the first such analysis that laid out the effects of tobacco and smoking, and encouraged Americans to lower tobacco use. Its conclusions were built on more than 7,000 studies on smoking and concluded for the first time that smoking caused lung cancer in men, and likely in women, and that lighting up was the most likely cause of chronic bronchitis (慢性支气管炎).Now, fifty years later, thanks to Terry's efforts and those of his successors, a study published in JAMA by researchers from the Cancer Intervention and Surveiltance Modeling Network reports that 20% of adult Americans now smoke, compared to 50% in 1964. In the latest study, the researchers looked at smoking patterns up to 1964 and then estimated what the death rates would have been if no tobacco control strategies, such as anti-smoking laws and higher taxes on cigarettes, had been implemented. Then, they compared it to current smoking rates, and estimated that 157 million years of lives have been saved about 19. 6 more years for every smoker who quit.During the 50 years since the report, the researchers estimated that the life expectancy for adults at age 40 increased 7. 8 years for men and 5. 4 years for women, and that tobacco control efforts accounted for 2.3 of these additional years for men and 1. 6 of them for women Still, the researchers say, "Despite the success of tobacco control in reducing premature deaths in the United States, smoking remains a significant public health problem " Another report, also published in JAMA, found that even though the percentage of the global population that smokes on a daily basis has decreased, the number of smokers has increased due to population growth. The new report showed that overall smoking rates worldwide dropped by 42% among women and 25% among men. Rates in Canada, Mexico, Norway and Iceland dropped by more than half.Population growth, however, means that these rates are not making a significant dent in the absolute numbers of smokers around the world; since 1980, there are 41% more male smokers and 7% more female smokers.Still, both reports highlight how effective tobacco control can be. "We know from these global trends that rapid progress is possible. If more countries were able to repeat the success we have seen in Norway, Mexico, and the United States, we would see much less health loss from smoking," said Emmanuela Gakidou, a prof'essor of global health at the University of Washington and author of the second study, in a statement.32. What did The Surgeon General's report of 1964 show?A. Americans were eager to lower tobacco use.B. Few studies on smoking were conducted then.C. Chronic bronchitis might develop into lung cancer.D. Smoking was the factor causing lung cancer in men.33. What problem about smoking was indicated by another report published in JAMA?A. The percentage of the global population that smokes has increased.B. The number of smokers has increased due to population growthC. Overall smoking rates worldwide has dropped by 42%.D. Smoking rates in some countries have increased. 34. Which could replace the phrase "making a significant dent" in Paragraph 5?A. Having a great effect.B. Causing a noticeable decrease.C. Bringing a significant increase.D. Making a great effort.35. According to Gakidou, what should we do to reduce the health loss from smoking around the world?A. Highlight the significant effects of tobacco control.B. Recognize the global trends of tobacco control.C. Succeed in tobacco control in more countries.D. Help other countries to control tobacco.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0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。
