高二英语上学期第一次月考试卷
2017-2018学年第一学期第一次月考高二年级英语试题I.阅读理解 (共40分)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。
APeople tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially whe n they start work in a company. “ If you don’t know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”1. The subject discussed in this passage is _______.A. how people do research studiesB. how people open up when emailingC. how to communicate at workD. how to discuss and solvea problem2. The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.A. they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB. they couldn’t see each otherC. the cameras on the computers were turned onD. they had to discussa question3. In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.A. focus on oneself when emailingB. talk more freely in emails than usualC. consider how one uses email at workD. discuss any subject that one wants toBA new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects. 4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.5. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of self.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.7. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?。

At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,”he wrote in his letter back,“and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn’t having it made;it’s getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It’s the journey,not the arrival,that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request:“Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:“Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end.”Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.66.Wh at was the author’s grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)_________________________________________________________________67.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________68.What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________69.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________70.Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?Give reasons in your own words.(no more than 20 words)_________________________________________________________________六：书面表达（满分20分）假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你校英语协会正在招募志愿者，来接待来访的外国中学生。

The 41 name of the United Kingdom is 42 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.43 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest 44 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 45 “England” and “English” when they 46 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 47 . The Scots in particular are very 48 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 49 as English, and have a culture and even a 50 of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 51 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 52 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 53 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 54 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦).

In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline (纪律) from their students.I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very clearly a sign on her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory : in this room the first five letters of the word was stressed not the last seven.” In other words, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and told us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit the students.56. Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?A. A patient teacher.B. An honest teacher.C. A strict teacher.D. An easy – going teacher.57. The teacher put up the sign on her classroom door .A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratoryB. to advise the students to follow the disciplinesC. to warn the students not to be carelessD. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom58. What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.B. It does good to the students in the long run.C. It’s too much for youn g children.D. It does more harm than good to the students.59. What’s the Chinese for the underlined word “oratory”?A. 演讲B. 讲稿C. 访谈D. 采访BIn the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they paid the bills. The money was used for food, -clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cared for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man takes care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children, or she may vant to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and responsibilities of their families.60. Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage ?A. Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B. The woman made most of decisions.C. The woman stayed at home to care the children.D. The man paid the bills.61. In recent years____________.A. young couples refuse the traditional relationshipB. the woman has a job and earns the money for the familyC. the woman doesn' t stay at home and care for the children and the houseD. the role of men and women has begun to change62.

The following are all now true EXCEPT__________.A. they may choose to have children or notB. the man may take care of the children some of the timeC. the woman may want to go to workD. the woman is the most important person in the houseCRecently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline ha d announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.”She in turn said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude ( 打扰) on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral（葬礼）,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain（使……持续）them,” he continued and th en turning toward me he shared the following:“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”Then he walked away.I WISH YOU ENOUGH! 64．The father was at the airport to ________.A．welcome his daughter home.

But his positive (积极的) attitude toward life has given hope to many people.Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism (乐观) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times laying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. "Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music," he wrote.As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression (经济大萧条), and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937. During the 20 year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in (参与) politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.All the while Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War Ⅱ. When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring (离职的) president in US history.He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. "I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal (永恒的) optimism for its future," he wrote.68. Reagan can be best described as a man with______.A. firmnessB. humourC. optimismD. talent69. Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease.b. Reagan became an actor.c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.d. Reagan graduated from college.e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.A. a,c,d,e,bB. e,c,d,b,aC. b,a,c,d,eD. c,d,b,e,a70. When the author of Reagan’s biography says "The world was a vast opportunity for him," hereally means that _______.A. Reagan achieved much in his whole lifeB. Reagan could have done much betterC. Reagan did much for America and the worldD. Reagan was a very lucky man第二卷非选择题(共三节满分35 分）第一节：单词拼写（共10 小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子所给首字母在横线上写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph(留声机), the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but he was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. He was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas Edison then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent(专利) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. The stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on atape.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work.56. Of all Edison’s inventions, ______ was probably the most important formankind.A. the electric lightB. the stock-tickerC. the vote recorderD. the motion picture camera57. Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.a. Edison worked as a newsboy.b. Edison moved to Port Huron.c. Edison got his first patent.d. Edison became a telegraph operator.A. b-a-d-cB. a-b-d-cC. a-b-c-dD. b-a-c-d58. The underlined word “blessing”can be replaced by ______.A. necessityB. disadvantageC. disabilityD. benefit59. What made Edison a great inventor?A. The education from his motherB. His interest and hard workC. His early work experienceD. His deafness and talent.BIn 1865, a creative engineer, John Roebling, decided to build a bridgeconnecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.However, Roebling thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington that the bridge in fact could be built.With great excitement and inspiration, and great hardships before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge in 1869.The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.Now all he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By touching his wife’s arm with that finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, telling the engineers what to do, until the bridge was finally completed.60. T o build a bridge between New York and the Long Island _______.A. was a dream of many bridge expertsB. was a terribly difficult taskC. was supported by the American governmentD. sounded creative to many bridge building experts61.

It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive(有好处的) to happiness. We can choose to refuse to think about the unhappy events. If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.What is happiness? It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or confused thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside,triggered(触发) by outer events.For most people happiness seems passing quickly. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation(冥想). As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life:Try hard to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side.Think of solutions, not problems.Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking ofpleasant things.68. For most people happiness seems passing quickly because _______.A. they let changing outer circumstances affect themB. they hope that even greater happiness will comeC. they have no friends to share happiness with themD. they don’t want to achieve any greater happiness69. We can learn from the passage that our happiness is _______.A. that we own a great deal of moneyB. to achieve the goal we havebeen seekingC. a feeling of inner peace and satisfactionD. the feeling that we areadmired by others70. According to the author happiness depends on _______.A. outer circumstancesB. our attitude toward itC. the conditions we haveD. the objective world71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Happiness Is the Goal in Daily Life.B. Happiness Exists in Everyone’s Mind.C. Happiness Can Be Chosen by Us.D. Tips for happiness in Daily Life.EThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land,”Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC, said.According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources, such as gasoline, and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats. Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise(高层的) building.According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption(消费量) by one-third and our water by 50 percent.The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自动地) turn off when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows. This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.72. Green buildings are _______.A. far away from public transportationB. built in the forestsC. earth-friendlyD. often built on developing land73. Green buildings are built near public transportation mainly for the purposeof ______.A. taking buses or subways easilyB. saving natural resourcesC. driving private cars lessD. protecting the environment 74. The Solaire is thought to be “green ” because it ________. A. locates near a forest B. lies close to stores C. reduces energy and water use D. was built with green materials 75. Which of the following is used to cut energy consumption in the Solaire? A. Closing windows as long as possible. B. Reducing the time of using lights. C. Recycling solar power. D. Using natural resources.●●●●●……第二卷：第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill thought it was credited to her family largely. “When I was accepted at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children and keep your reason, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly specialty, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”4．Why does Merrill speak of their movements?A．To show the support of her family.B．To stress her determination to be a doctor.C．To reflect difficulties in attending college.D．To describe the process of pursuing her dream.5．What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3?A．Entertainment.B．Inspiration.C．Commitment.D．Confusion.6．What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4?A．Merrill will have more stress to handle.B．Staying focused and sensible is key to success.C．Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.D．She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.7．What does Merrill suggest at last?A．Starting with small things.B．Getting your priorities right.C．Being true to your passion.D．Having the courage to dream big.Imagine being able to go to your local park and pick some tomatoes, potatoes or even bananas to take home for dinner. Sounds too good to be true, right? For residents of Andernach, a German city, it’s not just a Utopian dream — it’s their reality. In 2010, Andernach began its “edible city” project, planting 101 varieties of tomatoes in public green spaces around the city centre. Its 30,000 residents are free to help themselves to whatever grows, as are any other visitors. Every year a new type of plant is introduced. In 2011, 100 types of beans were planted, while 2012 saw the introduction of 20 onion varieties. The town’s motto (座右铭) is, “Picking is encouraged — help yourself!”It’s a community effort, as local citizens are encouraged to help plant and maintain thegardens. This offers an opportunity to socialize as well as to learn about planting, cultivating and harvesting food. “I often drop by to pick some herbs that I’m missing at home. Everything is easily accessible. There aren’t any fences. You just take what you need. The only thing is you have to be quick once the fruits are ripe or they’ll all be gone!” said a local historian.Andernach may be the first, but it isn’t the only edible city. It’s part of the Edible Cities Network, an EU-funded project connecting green urban food initiatives (倡议) around the world. Other edible cities include Carthage in Tunisia, Havana in Cuba and Šempeter-Vrtojba in Slovenia. In February 2022, the first Edible Cities Network Conference took place. Dr. Ina Säumel, Principal Investigator of the Edible Cities Network, called it, “a unique opportunity to invite researchers and practitioners (从业人员) of Edible City Solutions to the same table and unite theory with practice”.Ultimately, the Edible Cities Network aims to create “greener, more edible and, above all, more livable cities”. It is a response to the pressures of climate change, and a cause for hope. 8．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．The process of Andernach’s growth.B．The green food project in Andernach.C．Methods of planting vegetables in Europe.D．The popularity of Andernach’s city design.9．What is the attitude of the local historian mentioned in paragraph 2 towards the project?A．Doubtful.B．Indifferent.C．Positive.D．Negative.10．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Green urban food has drawn more attention.B．German rural areas will follow the trend too.C．Asia will join the Edible Cities Network soon.D．Edible cities hold meetings on a regular base.11．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Start a Green Food Campaign NowB．Gain Easy Access to German FoodC．Quick Response to Climate ChangeD．An Incredible “Edible City” Initiative二、七选五How to Deal with a Roommate Who Is InconsiderateDoes your roommate borrow your stuff without asking, or leave dirty dishes in the sink for weeks? 12 , but don’t worry — by having an open, honest talk with him/her, you can find a solution and make your house a home again.Tackling the problem now will keep it from worsening in the background.It might seem easier to ignore your roommate’s problems for now. 13 . Ask your roommate to sit down and have a chat with you soon, or schedule a house meeting a few days in advance.Avoiding accusations (指责) will help you have a more productive conversation.14 . — you can be specific, but try not to attack or blame your roommate. That way, you two can have an open, honest discussion, rather than an argument.15 .Once you’ve said your piece about your living situation, take a step back and really listen to your roommate’s point of view. Try not to interrupt. If your roommate gets defensive or angry, try saying something like, “I understand you’re upset, but I’d really like us to make a change together.”If you both make the rules, your roommate is more likely to follow them.After you’ve both shared your issues, do some brainstorming together on what could be changed around your place. Keep an open mind and be willing to compromise (妥协，让步) so that everyone ends up happier. 16 .A．Spending time together is necessaryB．It’s bad manners to criticize your roommateC．Bring up whatever is bothering you carefullyD．However, it’s better to face these things head-onE．Give him/her time to talk so he/she doesn’t feel attackedF．The rules you make together are more persuasive for your roommateG．Living with an inconsiderate roommate might make you feel frustrated三、完形填空Stephanie distinctly remembered watching a basketball movie called “Like Mike” whendiscussing 18 and inclusion (包容).Over the course of a term, Stephanie did a weeks-long lesson about how our differences make us 19 , and how we shouldn’t judge people until we’ve “walked a mile in their shoes”. The movie helped 20 this message to her students’ real lives.Stephanie had her students measure their feet in class, design their own 21 on paper, and write journals about making 22 about others based on appearances.

I was 13 years old, sobbing in the car the whole way home as my school uniform stuck to my wet skin.The previous hour in the hydrotherapy(水疗)pool haunted me and I remembered how my weak neck gave way and my head slipped under the water, flooding my ears and nose.Physiotherapists circled around me, comforting me that I was OK. But my body didn't feel like it was mine. I had lost control. My swimming days were over.I was born with spinal muscular atrophy (脊髓性肌萎缩症), a genetic disease. It causes severe weakness in my limbs and, since I was a toddler (学步的儿童), I've used an electric wheelchair. My disability means I've never been able to stand or walk,but in the water, I was weightless and could move more freely.Swimming had once meant a lot to me, but after spinal surgery to try to combat the illness it became increasingly difficult. Visiting the hydrotherapy pool was alast-ditch attempt to return to the water. When the moment arrived, it was stressful.My tears weren't just because of the loss - they were an acceptance, too. I made the decision: I was never going back in the water again.For the first time as a young adult, I had to advocate for myself. Like other people with disabilities, I often feel societal pressure to push myself. Recognizing that swimming was unsafe and uncomfortable was a tough lesson about accepting the limitations of my body.I had to find other ways to connect with the water and my loss. Swimming is now impossible, but I still take joy from seeing my family and friends in thewater.Swimming was the first big physical loss in my life, and I know there will be others as I age, Everyday tasks I can complete now, such as cleaning my teeth or feeding myself, may become too difficult as the years pass. I've learned it's OK to miss what my body could do before and find ways to adapt and enjoy what I can do.24.How did the author feel on the way home from the hydrotherapy pool?A.ExcitedB.AshamedC.UpsetD. Relieved.25.What role did swimming serve for the author?A. A method to stay fit.B. A source of freedom.C. A proof of her ability.D. A way to connect with others.26.What does the underlined phrase “advocate for myself”in paragraph 5 imply?A.The author complained about his misfortune.B. The author forgave himself for his limitations.C. The author defended himself for his giving up.D. The author praised himself for his last attempt.27.What did the author intend to do in the end?A. Accept support from others.B. Learn new skills to push her limits.C.Avoid staying near the water.D. Seek joy within her capabilities.C篇Solar panels-also known as “photovoltaic" panels are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Bec ause these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics".The idea isn't as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架).On the water, floatovotaics are placed on a floating platform attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide.They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large-more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year and 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation(热发)from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.Floatovoltaics aren't perfect, Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To list solar panels' unusual functions.B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.C. To introduce the work ability of floating solar panels.D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.29.How did researchers carry out the new study?A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.B. By making computer-aided estimates.C. By building floatovoltaic farms in the US.D. By processing data given by specialists.30.What do we know about floating solar panels?A. They are perfect except for the high cost.B. They function well in extreme hot weather.C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.31. What is the suitable title for the text?A. Floating Solar Panels-Making Energy, Saving WaterB. Floating Solar Panels-A New Way to Cool the PlanetC. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final ChoiceD. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to WaterD篇When drones(元人机)first became widely available around 15 years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to find tech people painting dramatic pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky,you can see that hasn’t happened yet.Sure, drones eful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we're a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with autonomous drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery. In a video, we saw an Amazon"Prime Air" drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer's garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn't completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly downsized the drone program.So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some indications of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa, Because also since 2016, rural hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments of medical supplies by drone thanks to a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks to the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here?Unfortunately,there's a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don't have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones constantly landing around the neighborhood. Another reality is that British cities may still have security and safety concerns about routinely having drones carrying stuff over our heads.That's why 1 wonder if the real drone future could be crawling(爬) along the ground. For a few years,“autonomous delivery robots”with wheels have been walking on the pavements. So perhaps we're not so far away from a drone delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit more down to earth.32.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Drones are widely used in daily life.B. Drones have made delivery efficient.C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos.D. Drones haven't changed the world as expected.33.Why does the author mention Zipline's drone delivery?A. To explain the process of drone delivery.B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery.C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future.D. To show ts advantages over Amazon's drone delivery.34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The security and safety concerns about drones.B. The ways that British people react to drone delivery.C. The differences between African countries and Britain.D.The reasons why drone delivery isn't suitable for Britain.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Pie in the SkyB. Drone Application at RiskC. Robots on the RoadD. Aerial Delivery in Progress第二节七选五(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
