AIn April 2014, the world’s oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! The message was finally sent to the author’s granddaughter.A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel, Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing hard to read out, the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic Sea coast with a nature appreciation group, he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.“It was almost unbelievable,” Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather’s bottle and message. “That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face.”Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but she said that the discovery of the bottle had made her want to learn more about him.The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1st. After that, the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.Previously, the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at the sea and was discovered in April 2012, according to Guinness World Records.1. When Konrad Fischer picked up the bottle from the sea, .A. he thought it would bring him good luckB. he noticed the postcard inside immediatelyC. he decided to uncover the secret of the bottleD. he wanted to throw it into the sea at first2. Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?A. He expected his granddaughter could find the postcard.B. He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.C. He believed his postcard would be kept secret at the sea forever.D. He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.3. What can be the best title for this passage?A. The finding of the floating bottle at the sea.B. A one-century-old letter to a granddaughter.C. The world’s oldest message in a floating bottle.D. The oldest Danish postcard in a floating bottle.BMy friend Jim and I finally decided to spend our 14 days off in the eastern country. We were arranged to stay with a local family, which made ti possible for us to share a real life experience with the locals and in return bring ourselves a richer experience of the native culture and tradition.In the company of one of our knowledgeable local tour leaders, we started one of the trips to the nearby town. As we were passing elephants, we stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a small rope lied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that these elephants could, at any time, break away from the ropes they were tied to, but for some reason, they did not. My friend went up to the trainer and asked why these beautiful animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” he said, “when they were young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it was enough to hold them.”As they grow up, they are accustomed to believing that they cannot break away. They believe that the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free. We were amazed. These animals could at any time break away from their ropes but just because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us are being held by outdated belief that no longer serves us? How many of us have avoided trying something new because of a limited belief? Worse still, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limiting beliefs? Your attempt may fail but never fail to make an attempt.4. What was the author most interested in during his visit?A. The local food and scenery.B. The local people and elephants.C. The local culture and tradition.D. The history of the eastern country.5. What amazed them was to see .A. the huge elephants tied only by a small ropeB. the elephants being trained with small ropesC. the trainer playing skilfully with the huge animalsD. the trainer attracting the visitors’ attention in such a way6. The elephants never tried to get away because .A. they had a very close relationship with their trainersB. they believed they couldn’t get away from the small ropesC. they got used to being raised and controlled by human beingsD. it was hard to break away from the strong and powerful ropes7. The author holds the view that .A. animals should be trained to obey their mastersB. people should travel around and try new thingsC. it’s necessary to train creatures when they are youngD. people should never fail to make an attempt or get held by false beliefsCGene technology is a kind of science focusing on the research of human genes. It is also called biological engineering, which is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it’s a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span ban be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English royal family being a good example, have hereditary （遗传的）diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to produce human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believed cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have their babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.8. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Hereditary diseases and cancer.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.D. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.9. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.D. Gene technology can solve all the problems of the English royal family.10. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.B. Using gene technology, scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.C. Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of technology.11. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people.B. Telling people the advantages and disadvantages of gene technology.C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.DLearning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers, but it is also a great responsibility. Althoughhaving a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them seems unfair, there are convincing reasons for this requirement.The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16 and 17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it.A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25. Until this study, researchers had placed the age of 18. If this is true, it could explain the reckless（鲁莽的）behavior of many teens, behavior that even extends into their twenties. It could also be a strong reason for being watchful about the driving settings of young people.This is not the only study that indicates such concern is necessary. One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in risky driving situations. The study, which uses a driving game, has an individual guide a car through a course, both alone and in the presence of friends. Three different age groups participated in the study:13-16, 18-22, and 24 and older. Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present, but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friends. Furthermore, because these drivers were accustomed to the noise an disturbance of many passengers, they were unable to see their own mistakes. Once again, this is a good suggestion that a law restricting the number of teenagers in the car with a young driver is a good idea.12. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A. There are many causes behind the teen’s driving accidents.B. It’s reasonable to strictly limit the passenger number of teen drivers.C. New teen drivers have to ask permission before driving with friends.D. Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence.13. From the two studies, the author probably suggests that .A. different age groups have different peer pressureB. underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakesC. teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers’ noticeD. driving settings are bound up with the risk of accidents14. We can infer that the law restriction can probably .A. protect teens on the highwayB. raise teens’ driving skillsC. reduce the number of fatal crashesD. force teens to drive with wisdom15. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. Number of passengers.B. This information.C. Wisdom.D. Teen drivers take a carload of friends anywhere.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。

高二英语下学期期末试卷（带答案）第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night．I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium（钙）, during those important years．Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s．The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis（骨质疏松症）will set in．That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium．Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements（补充物）．There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate（碳酸钙），oyster（牡蛎）shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements．You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take．This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body．So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them．Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage（剂量）and manner of intake．You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs．21. From what the author’s mother did we may inferthat___________________．A．her children had osteoporosisB．she knew her children would benefit from milkC．she must have suffered from osteoprosisD．she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order22. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60sB．Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium．C．We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day D．Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage23. What does the underlined word “surreptitiously”in the firstparagraph probably mean?A．Honestly B．Frankly C．Secretly D．Curiously24. We may infer from the last paragraphthat____________________．A．what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not workB．one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor C．the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take inD．it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidanceBPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced fo od and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you arevisiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats. Endangered speciesSome gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere tovisit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.25. According to the passage, we can _______ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot26. We should check the gifts and foods before buying because______.A. sometimes they are of poor qualityB. they may not be typical local productsC. some of them will do harm to our healthD. they may be made from endangered animals or plants27We can infer from the passage that ______.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats28. The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. protection of endangered animalsD. greener choices for holidayCIt’s said that professional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that andhelpteach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.”Says professor Morvarid Taheripour, the head of the athletes’project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So they’ve got to come back to life and figure out ‘How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professional athletes is a dream to come true. “It was taking everythin g I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isn’t easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football players are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years. Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a number of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,”says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and timethat you have to put into it is very much like being a successful business person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show that’s not the case for everyone. Taheripour’s message to his stu dents is a serious one:This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.29 By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means ________.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their lifeB. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to lifeD. athletes’later life can be easily rebuilt30. .Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. They’re not willing to accept a new career.31. What does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end.B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem.D. Making a difference.32. What does the last paragraph imply?A. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.B. An athlete’s sports career couldn’t last very long.C. An athlete should end his career earlier to build his new life.D. The longer an athlete’s career lasts, the more respect he receives.DDuring World War I, a German spy called Reginald Rowlandworked in the United Kingdom gathering information for Germany about the British army. A box of talcum powder (爽身粉) and other lotions （护肤液）with materials to write secret messages were found in his room when he was caught by British soldiers. He also used invisible (看不见的) ink on shirt collars, in pens, and mixed with cakes of soap to send secret messages.So, if you want to send secret messages, you will need:lemon,a bowl,a thin paintbrush or toothpick,white paper,a hairdryer or light bulbDirections:1. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze (挤) the juice into a bowl, and remove any pulp (果肉).2. Dip the paintbrush or toothpick into the lemon juice.3. Write your message or draw your map on the white paper, working quickly so that you can see what you have written before the lemon juice dries.4. When the juice dries, your message will not be seen. Protect it by writing a normal message in pencil on the other side.5. To reveal the secret message, hold the paper in front of a warm hairdryer or light bulb.33. According to the text, Reginald Rowland _____.A. hated the warB. was from the UKC. worked for GermanyD. was good at making up stories34. Which of the following best describes the step 2 of the directions?35. In sending secret messages, the hairdryer is used to _____.A. show the secret messageB. remove the lemon pulpC. squeeze the juiceD. dry the juice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。

Thirdly, we must have good habits to keep every corner tidy in our school.Therefore, everyone, let’s take action immediately.Thanks for listening.第二节（满分25 分）One possible version:There was nobody around but the elderly lady.She h urr ied to him and bent down to check his injury. “God!” she gasped. “Don’t move. I’ll help you, son.” Looking at her kind face, Jack gradually lost consciousness. Having called an ambulance, the lady tended to his wounds carefully. Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed forthe lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what wa s going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely… and thanks for your help. Otherwise…” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everyt hing will change for the better. I have faith in you,” she comforted the young man affectionately. The incident dramatically transformed Jack, who became helpful, friendly and popular.评分标准：一、评分原则1. 分值及档次：本题总分为25 分，按五个档次进行评分。

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two 1 systems on the whole.The 2 of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated孕育by 3 . In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own 4 . Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture 5 went overseas toJapan, 6 into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same 7 .When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was 8 on the Mesopotamian Plain美索不达米亚平原---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the 9 of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European onealso 10 waters. When the colonists of England 11 in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't 12 from the European one a lot.At the same time, the difference of the language systems 13 _ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, as a result of the far distance and the steep险峻的areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom 14 until recent centuries.

高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。
