河北省保定市高阳中学学年高二春季版第二次周练英语试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AMy mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn’t have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa,look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand — she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it — deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I won’t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that .A. Vanessa fell because she didn’t hold the handlebarB. Vanessa and Mary rode the bike by turnsC. Vanessa was blown down by the heavy windD. Vanessa and Mary were all injured2. In the author’s opinion, her mother .A. was always gentle to herB. encouraged her all the timeC. was cold sometimesD. didn’t care about her at all3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.

Vanessa wasn’t eager for her mom’s hug any more.BCARE London to Paris Cycle ChallengeIn this challenge you’ll cycle from London to Paris in three days, enjoying the beautiful countryside along the way.You will cycle through the peace of rural (乡村的) England to Portsmouth, where you will cross the river by boat to Ouistreham.

In 1985, two days before he died, he gave that ticket to Cave —ticket number 00001. “It created a fascination (酷爱) with the bridge that I have to this day,” says Cave. And it started him on a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first.Cave came up with a simple but daring idea — lease (租用) the bridge from the government and allow ordinary people to climb Australia’s greatest icon. “I thought it would take two years,” says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities. But in business, you just have to keep going —it’s about having self-belief.” Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince t he NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials,” says Cave. They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below — the list went on and on.Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why, to Cave, this fight wasworth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough (突破) he’d worked for — a letter arrived from WorkCover, the state’s oc cupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea.Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction.8. Cave at first thought his dream .A. was a hard taskB. was easy to come trueC. would get support from the governmentD. would become some complex activities9. What was the restrictive officials’ attitude towards Cave’s id ea?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Enthusiastic.10. What inspired Cave to fight for his dream during the hard situation?A. WorkCover.B. Harbour Bridge.C. BridgeClimb.D. Ticket 00001.11. The text mainly tells us that .A. not every dream in our life is very easy to come trueB. you should have self-belief even faced with great difficultyC. family members always give you the inspiration for successD. life seems a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge firstDA habitat is a natural area where wildlife lives undisturbed. Most animals and plants have become endangered not because they have been killed on purpose but because their habitats are being destroyed.Human activities have changed or destroyed habitats for thousands of years. The natural habitats in almost every country in the world have been affected in some way. Let us take Britain as an example. Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans. If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different for most of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily (持续地) cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows (灌木篱笆) which were planted by humans as boundaries (边界) around fields have replaced woodlands.As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them. Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction (粉碎) of their forest habitats. Other British species of animals and plants have become extinct during the last few hundred years and many more are endangered today. Although many organizations are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are still being destroyed.12. The text mainly tells us .A. what a habitat isB. how to protect wildlifeC. habitat destruction makes animals endangeredD. how to prevent the environment from being destroyed13. According to the text, animals are endangered mainly because .A. people kill wild animals on purposeB. the environment is seriously pollutedC. humans haven’t worked to protect themD. the human population has increased greatly14. We can learn from the text that .A. the New Forest is the largest woodland in the worldB. the Brown Bear has been extinct for many years in BritainC. humans destroyed natural habitats mainly by growing cropsD. humans planted hedgerows to make home for cattle and sheep15. Which of the following may the writer agree with?A. Setting up reserves is the best way to protect animals.B. We can hardly stop animals from being endangered.C. Things will become better for wild animals in Britain.D. Human activities began to affect wildlife 200 years ago.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)按照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quality as her sisters'.Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldestchildren died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his arteducation. They took positions as teachers or taught children intheir homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. (It was not published until 1869. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once;Thus each of the sisters bad a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; The other two, however, did not do. so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.36. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell BronteA. Help him write stories.B. Help him get trained in art.C.

However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting“things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animalsActually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.41.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos A.Dangerous. B.Unhappy. C.Natural. D.Easy.42.In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A.remain in cages B.behave strangelyC.attack other animals D.enjoy moving around43.What does the author try to argue in the passageA.Zoos are not worth the public support.B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.44.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.A.pointing out the faults in what zoos doB.using evidence he has collected at zoosC.questioning the way animals are protectedD.discussing the advantages of natural habitats45.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agreethat __________.A.zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB.most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD.it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats单词拼写(共5小题,10分)46.She felt g________ about leaving her sick child and going to work. 47.Whenever I get into trouble, he comes to my help withouth______________.48.He was too s______________ to admit that he was wrong and refused to say sorry to his girl friend.49.I tried to p______________ him to change his mind but he refused to follow my advice.50.I am sorry that I was a______________ just now and didn’t quite catch what you said.姓名:班级:学号:得分:endangered big cats.

高二英语第二次周测试题(120分钟150分)第一卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AJoker found one of the biggest diamonds in the world in his own backyard. He sold the stone to a diamond dealer for over three hundred thousand dollars. In New York, the diamond was resold,this time for almost eight hundred thousand dollars. The true value of a diamond is never known until it has been cut. Once cut successfully, its value can increase a thousand times. It’s easy to understand why the owner of the Joker diamond went to the best diamond cutter he knew, Kaplan. The cutter studied the diamond for twelve whole months.When he felt he was ready to start work, he discovered a flaw (瑕疵). He had to begin with his calculations all over again, or he might have made the stone useless. Six more months passed, and Kaplan finally said to the owner, “I am ready to start my work. There will be one excellent diamond that will be comparable to any in the world, plus eleven small diamonds of first-class quality. ” Kaplan waited a few more days until he felt he was in the best physical and mental (精神的)condition possible. He picked up his tools and held his breath as he made the first blow. The diamond split (切开)exactly as he promised.1. A diamond dealer is a person ______,A. in the diamond businessB. who stores diamondsC. who cuts diamondsD. who sells diamonds2. The owner of the Joker diamond thought that if the diamond was cut successfully, it might be worth ________.A. $300, 000B. $500, 000C. $300, 000, 000D. $800, 000, 0003. Kaplan studied the diamond for ________.A. one yearB. more than half a yearC. over eighteen monthsD. more than two yearsBOn Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December. Picking up a few more things as well as my card I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk.Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought.It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going tobuy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “I’m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I’m going home. ”The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk. ” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighed, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas. ” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.4. The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means _______ . A.interested B.disappointedC. astonished D.frightened5.Which of the following could be the best title of the story?A.A Piece of Lucky Feather B.A Surprise Christmas GiftC.The Boring Shopping Experience D.The Unforgettable Big Hug6.How does the writer feel about the pretty young lady?A.Worried. B.Satisfied. C.Grateful. D.Proud. 7.What can we learn from the story?A.Nobody is sure what will happen the next moment.B.A simple action can bring other people happiness.C.Being patient will decrease the waiting time.D.Life without hope and faith is a dull thing.CMr and Mrs Brown were going abroad for their holiday. They had a dog called Blackie which they were very fond of,but they could not take him abroad with them,so they looked for a good place to leave him in while they were away,and at last found a place which looked after dogs very well while their owners were away. They took Blackie there just before they left for their holiday,and sadly said goodbye to him.At the end of their holiday,they got back to England very late at night,and as they thought that the place where Blackie was staying might be closed at that hour,they decided to wait until the next morning before going to get him back.So the next morning Mr Brown got into his car and drove off happily to collect Blackie.When he reached home with the dog,he said to his wife, “Do you know,dear,I don’t think Blackie can have enjoyed his stay at that place very much. He barke d allthe way home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something. ”Mrs Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered,“You are quite right,dear. He was certainly trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to tell you that he hadn’t en joyed his stay at that place,he was only complaining (抱怨)that you were bringing the wrong dog home. This isn’t Blackie!8. The Browns decided to leave their dog somewhere while they were away because ________ .A. they were not fond of him any moreB. they did not want to take him with themC. the dog refused to go with themD. they were not allowed to take him abroad9. They ________ before they left for their holiday.A. asked a friend to take care of the dogB. left it to their house keeperC. took it to an old man who looked after dogs very wellD. found Blackie a good place where dogs were taken care of10. As the dog ________,he barked all the way.A. did not recognize Mr BrownB. had something to tell his old masterC. had enjoyed his stay at that placeD. knew he was with their masters again11. What do you think “You are quite right,dear. ” means?A. She fully agreed with her husband.B. She was saying that what he did was right.C. The dog did want to tell him something. He was bringing home the wrong dog.D. There was something wrong with their old dog.DLife comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.LoveLove plays a pivotal role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward(不归路)and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.Happiness and SorrowMaterialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.Failure and SuccessFailure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.Hope and DespairHope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same, we have only one choice—keep moving on in life and be hopeful.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.12. In the passage, the author compares life to _____ .A. a packageB. joy and sorrowC. failure and successD. hope and despair13. In which section can readers probably read the passage?A. Opinions.B. Politics.C. Education.D. Lifestyles.14. How is the passage organized?A. In order of rules.B. In order of frequency.C. By making comparisons.D. In order of importance.15. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To encourage people to love each other.B. To tell people how to deal with happiness and sorrow.C. To remind people of keeping having a beautiful dream.D. To give readers some information about life.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。

It is also changing the way we interact(交流)and build relationship. These are a few of recently recognized features of email,say experts,that should cause individual and organizations to rethink the way they use email.“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,”says Naomi Baron,a professor of linguistics at American University. She says the poor spelling,grammar,punctuation(标点符号)and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern to the way we write.Baron argues that we should not forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in emails.“The more we use email and its tasteless writing,the more it becomes the normal way of writing,”the professor says.Others say that despite its poor prose(文字),email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn't:it has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a critical new communication technology,”says Ian Lancashire,a University of Toronto professor of English.“It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email's close similarity to speech.“It's like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,”he says.Still,he accepts that this new found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble.“Almost everyday I get emails that apologies of previous e mails,”he reports.In the U. S.,the number of emails sent in a day exceeds (超过)the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.1. The passages mainly shows us that ________.A. people should stop using email to communicateB. experts hold different opinions about emailC. Americans only use email to communicateD. email makes people lose interest in English2. In Lancashire's opinion,email is a wonderful technique because ________.A. it can be used all over the worldB. it is the fastest way to communicateC. we can express ourselves in a free wayD. we can save a lot of paper3. Which of the following is NOT true about email?A. It is changing the way of communication.B. It is used more than letters in the U. S.C. It helps us write better.D. It causes us to write more.4. The author discusses emails by ________ in this passage.A. giving examplesB. giving others' remarksC. using argumentsD. objective description高二英语周清二答案解析一、单选1.答案与解析:A 后句是对前句的解释说明,并不是对前面所述情况的总结,故in other words“换句话说”符合题意。

高二英语周周练二一.阅读Polar bears were added to the list of threatened species and will receivespecial protection under U.S. law. Experts noted that the decline of Arcticsea ice is the greatest threat to the bears.Polar bears live in the Arctic and hunt seals and other fatty marinemammals from sea ice. They also travel, mate, and sometimes give birth on the ice. But sea ice is melting as the planet warms, and it is predicted to continue to do so for several more decades.Although many scientists say that human activity is directly responsible for the melting sea ice, the new polar bear protections will not change U.S. climate policy.The U.S. classifies the polar bear as a marine mammal, which means that the bear's new threatened status will not stop oil exploration within its habitat.Hunting of polar bears as a food source by certain native people and trade in native handicrafts made from polar bears will also continue. However, importing polar bear products from Canada will be banned. Scott Bergen is a landscape ecologist with the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society and a contributing author to U.S. Geological Survey studies released in 2007 that found two-thirds of the world's polar bears could go extinct by 2050. He and other WCS staffs are “almost elated (使兴奋)”with the decision, he said.“Even though it doesn't directly influence carbon emissions (排放) so to speak, we think it is a definite decision in the right direction and we're pleased to see the Fish and Wildlife Service is supporting the best science on this species,”he added.Bergen noted that saving the polar bear will depend on international cooperation. Permanent sea ice habitat is likely to remain in areas outside of the U.S., particularly in Canada and Greenland.Scientists view these areas as refuges that could allow some polar bear populations to survive over the long term and repopulate the Arctic if temperatures decrease and sea ice returns.“If you take a long-term view — meaning a hundred-year view into the future,”he said,“polar bears' existence is not necessarily totally dependent on what happens in the United Stat 1.Experts think the greatest threat to the bears is that ________.A.they are hunted by native people B.there are fewer fatty marine mammals C.Arctic sea ice is becoming smaller D.they can't stand the cold temperature2.In order to save the polar bear, which of the following agrees with Bergen's view?A.The U.S. must reduce carbon emissions .B.Countries all over the world must team up.C.The U.S. will play the most important part. D.The hunting of the polar bear must be banned.3.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Polar bears are listed as threatened species. B.Arctic sea ice is melting very fast.C.How to protect Arctic Polar bears. D.Polar bears received special protection.You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don't you?__4__About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.1.Self-awarenessWhen a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That's a nice shirt, but I can't afford it,”you can change t he message to“That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” __5__Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.2.Distance yourself__6__Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the trouble.3.Don't try to change complainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target._7__If someone says, “I hate Mondays, and weekends are too short,”try to think, “I'm glad I rested up over the weekend, so I'm ready to make some improvements on that big project.”4.__8_When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at him by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?”In most cases, complainers don't really want a solution. They just want to speak it out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions,they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.A.Find solutions.B.Change responsibility.C.You have got a lot of company.D.By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.E.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.F.Whenever possible, escape from negative people.G.You will never know what they are going to talk about.二.完形填空Several years ago I was driving to my daughter's college to bring her home for the summer break.

On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge__38__(she) meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill. But to my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way.四.短文改错My best friend, Anna, is one of those great friend you meet only once in a while. She knows how cheer me up whenI'm feeling badly. Whenever I run into the problem, she always has great advice, and that she usually helps me solve it. She never puts me down when I do something silly or embarrassed. I guess the thing I like best about Anna was that I can tell her about anything. I will never turn her down if she need my help. I will support her on just about any situation. I really hope that ours friendship can last forever!。
