AAmanda Clement grew up in Hudson, South Dakota. Baseball was always her favorite sport. Once in a while her brother Hank and his friends would let her play first base in their games. More often, however, they asked her to umpire (裁判) for them, because they knew her calls would be fair and there would be no arguing.One day in 1904, Amanda and her mother traveled to Hawarden, Iowa, to watch Hank play for the home team against Hawarden. When they arrived at the ball field, two local teams were waiting to play a preliminary (预备) game. The umpire hadn’t arrived, so Hank argued that the teams should let his sister serve as umpire. The players finally agreed.Amanda, then sixteen and standing five feet, ten inches tall, made perfect calls. She was so good that players for the main game asked her to umpire for them and even offered to pay her. Thus, at sixteen, Amanda Clement became the first paid female baseball umpire of all time. She is honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.21. Why did Hank and his friends often ask Amanda to umpire for them?A. Because she called them brothers.B.

高中英语真题：中学2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usuallythey have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.21. Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.A. he can’t read or writeB. he doesn’t use his memory oftenC. his parents haven’t a good memoryD. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time22. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Your memory doesn’t work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to ha ve a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.23. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents’ faultC. his teachers’ faultD. his g randmother’s fault24. The writer of this passage wants to tell us ________.A. how to use our arms or legsB. how to read and writeC. how to have a good memoryD. how to learn from the peoplest July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there.Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.25. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. Bus.B. Ship.C. Train.D. Airplane.26. Why did they pay a fine?A. Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t w ait in line.C. Because they came to the airport lateD. Because their bag was overweight.27. What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A. The flight to Seattle.B. The breakfast in the airport.C. The visit to Mount Rainier.D. The discovery of a small stream.28. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlife.B. To take a shortcut to save time.C. To avoid the snowy road.D. To avoid being attacked by animals.3.In 1901,H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that themoon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?29. The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people" .A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology30. What does the underlined word "it" (Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Discovering the moon's inner space.B. Using the earth's inner space.C. Meeting the "moon people" again.D. Traveling to outer space.31. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities—cities of the future.B. Space travel with H.G.Wells.C. Enjoy living underground.D. Building down, not up4.On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13, 000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights.Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldn’t go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving（跳伞）. At first, I didn’t think I could, but I finally made it.I don’t think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yodel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldn’t jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us-- a special bond.I made a reservation（预定）to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didn’t feel any fear (I)just jumped! That was wonderful! Wonderful!There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world! First, I felt an awful acceleration（加速）and then I felt like I was lying in the air…like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds free fall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me.33. What would be best title of the passage?A. Overcoming fear of heights.B. Not daring to go up the Eiffel Tower.C. Jumping from a planeD. A special bond with friends34. By saying “I finally made it”, the author means _________.A. he gave up going skydiving in the endB. at last he succeeded in skydivingC. he made up his mind in the endD. he finally made a reservation35. Why did the author feel a lack of oxygen when he was landing on the ground?A. Because he was falling for about a minute.B. Because it was his first time to do so.C. Because people breathe in less air when falling freely.D. Because the wind was blowing him strongly.二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (适应) teens’ needs for more sleep. 36 However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 37 So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends.Exercise regularly. 38 Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime.

Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.Create the right sleeping environment. 40 So close your curtains(and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒温器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.A. Waking up at the same time every day also helps establish sleep patterns.B. People usually sleep best in a dark cool room.C. Light signals to the brain that it’s time to w ake up.D. Try not to exercise right before bedtime as it can make it harder for you to fall asleep.E. Nicotine is also a stimulant, so quitting smoking may help you sleep better.F. Naps too close to bedtime may keep you from falling asleep.G.

75languages，including Spanish，Chinese，Arabic，Indian，and Russian．It also includes up﹣to﹣dateencyclopedias（百科全书），dictionaries，and spell checkers．Babylon is a long way from early translation software that would，more often than not，make an unreadable text with grammar errors that was better suited for making laughs than comprehension．Babylon's ability to understand and translate is perfect．In fact，businesses are adopting Babylon as the standard when it comes to translating commercial communications and other important documents．Babylon is also a great tool for people who are learning another language．Use it anytime you come across a word or passage you don't understand．What users enjoy most is the program's ability to open up a different world to them．Whether it'ssurfing a news

following is more likely to use Babylon？A．Students learning their languages．B．A man working as a secretary～C．A company doing international trades．D．People who often chat on line．43．（6分）According to many recent surveys，there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers from middle school to college，which worries both parents and teachers a lot．In my opinion，several reasons result in this phenomenon．The most significant reason is that the rise of many other information Media，for example，internet，mobile phone．TV and so on．In the past we only could read newspapers to know what happened around us，while now we only need to turn on the TV，or open our computers，which is more convenient．In addition，computer and other media provide us with more newly news and more specific details，which we can get easily and without payment．There is also an advantage that the newmedia have while newspapers don't﹣﹣﹣﹣a large mount*of pictures，which make the information or news more lively．Therefore，more and more students tend to surf the internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers．Another reason that few students read newspapers is that they have little time to do such things．We all know that nowadays students，especially middle school and high school students are buried in the books almost every day to get good grades．Even in weekends，they are sent to heterogeneous cram school by their parents to become superior in school．Thus there is little free time for them to do other things，not to mention reading newspapers．The students'indifference to the current affairs also enables few newspaper readers．The 90s，most of today's students，always pay more attention to fashion and only care for themselves．Lacking a sense of collectivism and nationalism，the majority of the 90s have little interest in current affairs，which are the basic content of most newspapers，so that there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers．Different outside and inside reasons have contributed to the few newspaper readers among students．Therefore，teachers should encourage their students to form'the habit of reading newspapers regularly and free the students from their heavy study burden so that they can afford to broaden their horizon through newspapers，which is beneficial for their future development．43．According to Paragraph 2，few students read newspapers becauseA reading newspapers isn't my good for them to get good gradesB．they are more interested in fashion than current affairsC．it's cheaper and easier to get information from the Internet or TVD．they can only know what is happening via the Internet or on TV44．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．it's better for students to gain information via the Internet than other media B．high school students

where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways．But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable．Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet．For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare．When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year．Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday．For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment．The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schoolshave breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day．Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support．Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils．During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed．While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live．The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning．In setting out its plans for a five﹣term year，Nottingham City Council （委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two﹣week break．We believe this will give real"down time"for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities．However，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．36．The passage is probably written by．A．an experienced teacherB．a working parentC．an inspired studentD．a city council member37．The underlined word"they"in the second paragraph refers to"'．A．environmentsB．holidaysC．wagesD．benefits38．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students．A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD．have more school days to receive free school meals39．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．working parents can enjoy a five﹣week break to care for their childrenB．the suggested plans for a five﹣term school year can hardly be carried out C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real"down time" D．some school staff will say"No"to the plans for a shorter summer holiday．40．（6分）When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like："If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you'll most certainly be right．"It made an impression on me，and since then，for the past 33years，I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself，"If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life．About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable，and that I would live no longer than three to six months．My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order，which is my doctors'code for preparing yourself to die．I lived with that diagnosis all day．I was completely in despair．Later that evening，I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．This was the closest I've been to facing death．To tell the truth，no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．It clears out the old to make room for the new．Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life．Don't be trapped by dogma（教条）﹣which is living with the results of otherpeople's thinking．Don't let the noise of others'opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart．It somehow already knows what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．40．What does the author think of death？A．He thinks it is impossible to avoid．B．He thinks it is not the end of life．C．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of．D．He thinks it is the beginning of a new life．41．In the author's opinion，we should．A．follow others'adviceB．take no notice of diseasesC．take exercise and keep healthyD．have the courage to follow our heart42．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3mean？A．came acrossB．dealt withC．survived D．Supported．43．（4分）Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income．This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment，so it includes employers and the self﹣employed．Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community．Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population，there are several other influences which also affect it．The age distribution （分布）of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce．If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work，then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced spread age distribution．If the population naturally grows rapidly，the number of births greatly exceeds （超出）the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines．Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate iseither falling or growing very slowly，and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it．In that situation the population is top﹣heavy with older people．So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate．The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy．If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce，this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group．If the aged are to be cared for in special homes，finance must be available for that purpose．If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population，then the government tax revenue （税收）is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or workforce members have to be taxed more heavily．43．In the passage"labor force"is defined as．A．people who are available to work and earn incomeB．self﹣employed people who have the ability to workC．people who are looking for an employmentD．employers who have created job opportunities44．From the second paragraph we can draw the conclusion that．A．a natural growth of population always leads to a balanced workforceB．a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce C．the larger the population is，the higher the proportion of the workforce will be D．the workforce will be lower if the population has a balanced age distribution 45．When a population is said to be aging，．A．there are more people retiring than those entering the workforceB．the birth rate in the area must be lower than that of death thereC．there should be an oversupply of the workforce membersD．there are more people entering the workforce than those retiring．四、书面表达（满分35分）46．（35分）半期考试后，你班班主任在安排座位时，打算让成绩好的学生和成绩差的学生作同桌，这在你们班成绩优秀的学生中引起了反响，班会课上大家就此进行了讨论．现在请你根据以下讨论结果用英语向班主任写一封信反映一下，并简要陈述自己的观点．赞同的理由：1．人人有长处和不足，成绩差的学生也有可取之处；2．相互学习，建立友谊；3．通过帮助学习差的学生的学习从而使他们建立自信．反对的理由：1．部分学习差的学生常常违反校规校纪，担心自己会受影响，养成坏习惯；2．老是问问题，使自己不能专心学习．…注意：1．词数：120词左右．2．短文需包括以上所有要点，内容可适当发挥，以使行文连贯．3．参考词汇：成绩差的学生：a
