An announcement.BI’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing. Your 50 of the world and, more importantly, of yourself will forever be changed!36．A. always B. rarely C. never D. nearly37．A. pointing B. applying C. turning D. spreading38．A. hard B. relaxing C. unfamiliar D. exciting39．A. some B. both C. more D. none40．A. report B. record C. recall D. consider41．A. held B. missed C. attended D. mentioned42．A. inspired B. disturbed C. embarrassed D. amused43．A. participate B. finish C. win D. run44．A. agree with B. rely on C. care for D. believe in45．A. confidence B. pleasure C. satisfaction D. motivation46．A. last B. first C. only D. second47．A. test B. identify C. imagine D. reach48．A. knowledge B. request C. principle D. experience49．A. bigger B. brighter C. clearer D. nicer50．A. view B. love C. description D. memoryⅤ．单词拼写（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）请用Welcome Unit～U4所学单词填空。
云南楚雄州东兴中学18-19学度高二上年中考试-语文
云南楚雄州东兴中学18-19学度高二上年中考试-语文本试卷分第一卷〔阅读题〕和第二卷〔表达题〕两部分。
总分值150分，考试时间150分钟。
第I卷阅读题【一】现代文阅读〔9分，每题3分〕阅读下面的文字，完成1－3题。
古典诗歌的现代传承杨景龙综观20世纪中国新诗，从创作实践到理论批评，从语言形式、表现手法到观念题旨、艺术精神，继承了中国古典诗歌的诸多优良传统。
不过，这种继承不是亦步亦趋的墨守成规的仿效，而是在横向移植的外来参照之下的现代创造性转化。
胡适的《尝试集》作为白话新诗的发轫，其秉承古典诗歌的遗传基因即至为明显，胡适自己就承认，他的新诗“实在不过是一些刷洗过的旧诗”。
胡适之后，白话诗人的创作或强或弱、或显或隐、或多或少，都无法完全逃离古典诗歌传统的一脉血缘。
古今诗歌意象、诗句之间，像戴望舒名篇《雨巷》的中心意象“丁香”，即来自李璟《摊破浣溪沙》词句“丁香空结雨中愁”，卞之琳就说《雨巷》“读起来好像旧诗名句‘丁香空结雨中愁’的现代白话版”。
余光中《碧潭》有句“如果舴艋舟再舴艋些／我的忧伤就灭顶”，活用李清照《武陵春》词句“只恐双溪舴艋舟，载不动，许多愁”。
古今诗歌作品之间，郑愁予名篇《错误》的艺术构思，显然借鉴了苏轼《蝶恋花》下片中的无焦点冲突和戏剧化情境；舒婷名篇《船》表现的咫尺天涯的永恒阻隔，与《古诗十九首》中的《迢迢牵牛星》同出机杼。
古今诗人之间，像郭沫假设诗歌的豪情气势与李白诗歌，艾青诗歌的深沉悲郁与杜甫诗歌，戴望舒、何其芳诗歌的辞色情调与晚唐温李诗词，卞之琳诗歌的炼字琢句与南宋姜吴雅词等；古今诗体之间，像胡适之体的浅白与元白体的浅俗，俞平伯、严阵、流沙河诗歌的语言节奏与古代词曲句式，郭小川的新辞赋体诗歌与古代辞赋歌行，白话小诗的体式与古代绝句小令等；古今诗歌流派之间，像新边塞诗的激昂豪迈、地域特色与盛唐边塞诗的激情悲壮、异域风光等；古今诗歌主题之间，像社会政治主题，爱国主题，爱情主题，时间生命主题，历史主题，自然主题，乡愁主题等；古今诗歌形式手法之间，像构句分节押韵，意象化，比兴象征，构思立意，意境营造与氛围渲染，叙事性和戏剧化，互文与用典等：其间均有着千丝万缕的内在联系。

ADuring my third year of university, I spent six months studying in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Many are worried about travelling to Rio but I promise, it is worth a visit. Now I want to share my top recommendations (推荐) for experiencing Rio less as a tourist but more like a native Brazilian.Pedra BonitaRio is full of hiking routes, and some Brazilians love to spend an afternoon hiking. My favorite route of all has to be Pedra Bonita. Pedra Bonita involves a steep climb of about an hour through tall trees, an d I admit it is difficult in Rio’s heat, but you are rewarded at the top with a wonderful view of the city, standing high above the green landscape and blue sea below.Mureta da UrcaOne thing you are sure to find in Rio is an amazing sunset, but a lot of the best spots tend to be full of tourists. In my opinion, Mureta da Urca is the most relaxing place to watch the sun set over the silver sea, with the figure of Christ the Redeemer standing tall in the background.Pedra do SalPedra do Sal is a historical area in the city centre and on Monday nights it is brought to life by the sound of samba. Hundreds of people gather in the street, food anddrink stalls are set up and it becomes a giant street party with everyone enjoying the happy sound of live samba!PicanhaIf there were one Brazilian food I could bring back to the UK, it would be picanha. It is the tastiest cut of steak I have ever tasted, served alongside rice and beans.1. The writer once went to Rio de Janeiro to_________.A. learn how to be a native BrazilianB. live as a native BrazilianC. study as a short-time international studentD. stay there as a tourist for six months2. Which of the following is probably the favorite of body-builders?A. Pedra do Sal.B. Mureta da Urca.C. Pedra Bonita.D. Picanha.3. What can you enjoy in Pedra do Sal?A. A giant street party.B. An amazing sunset.C. A wonderful view of the city.D. A nice Brazilian food.BBefore she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures every day. When she grew older, the15-year -old girl discovered the joy of sewing(缝纫). She said that she found it calming. She started out to make small things, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing. Her love of the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which makes what she calls “wearable art”.“My definition of wearable art is something that makes you feel unique. It's one of a kind, and often handmade," she explained. She sold her creations in farmers' markets.All the pieces Ellie created were made of used or donated fabrics. She worked a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process started withfin ding a piece of material that looked good with the jackets. “Then, I find out the design that works on it through trial(尝试) and error and the design comes to me," she added.Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. She said Ellie worked hard and made progress. She is always not only very creative, but also very kind and helpful to the other students.Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and to spread the joy of creativity among children. She also dreams her business will grow and become a model for other young people who have a dream they want to come true.4. What does" wearable art" mean according to Ellie Heath?A. Something that can be worn.B. Something that cannot be found anywhere else.C. Something that is valuable.D. Something that makes you feel different from others.5. Which of the following words can best describe Ellie?A. Generous and outgoing.B. Creative and determined.C. Warm-hearted and clever.D. Hard-working and unique.6. What can we can learn from Paragraph 3?A. The process of artistic design is usually not easy.B. Ellie got a lot of pleasure from her design.C. It is a piece of cake for Ellie to create an unique clothing.D. All of the cloth comes from donation.7. What does the underlined word “sharpened” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Performed.B. Improved.C. Challenged.D. Applied.CThe world's largest online encyclopaedia(百科全书), Wikipedia, is celebrating its 15th birthday. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Singer, Wikipedia is the worlds'tenth most popular website. It is available in 270 languages and has a total of 35 million articles, with 20,000 being added each month.The first non-English version(版本) of the online encyclopaedia were in German, Gatalan, Swedish, Spanish, French and Russian. The English version is the largest with over 5 million articles. The website can be edited by everyone. At present, about 80,000 volunteers around the world write articles for it. They are monitored by hundreds of editors who correct information if it is wrong. In the early days of the encyclopaedia, users had their doubts about using Wikipedia, because many mistakes were found and some experts said it was not serious enough. As time went on, however, the online encyclopaedia grew and grew. It brought down Microsoft's Encarta, which was the largest digital encyclopaedia at that time, and the printed version of Encyclopaedia Britannica.Today, for almost any topic the first hit you get from Google is almost always a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation runs the encyclopaedia and it raises money to pay its 400 employees. With the money it can also keep Wikipedia free from advertisements. The foundation says that it wants to raise 100 million dollars over the next decade to keep Wikipedia running.In any case, Wikipedia is still growing. It has many sister projects, including Wikimedia Commons, a database with millions of images, or Wikidata, a free database that everyone can edit. Even though the encyclopaedia may not be the main source of information for scientists and other experts, it has helped change the world of research and knowledge.8. According to the text, Wikipedia_________.A. has a history of more than 20 yearsB. is the largest encyclopaedia in the worldC. provides information in 270 languagesD. has been the world's most popular website9. What does the underlined word "monitored" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Copied.B. Written.C. Translated.D. Checked.10. Why was Microsoft's Encarta mentioned in the text?A. To show Wikipedia is much more popular.B. To make a comparison with Microsoft.C. To offer users another choice.D. To introduce Microsoft.11. We can infer from Paragraph3 that Wikipedia__________.A. does not make much moneyB. is growing at a surprising speedC. lives mainly on advertisementsD. is full of articles with mistakesDDo you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day? If so, you would be called an "early bird". Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a "night owl".Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Usually, early risers are praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both "morning people" and "evening people" were watched during their normal waking hours. After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(机敏的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this dif ference is that “night owls” receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtime, morning exercise and avoiding midnight snacks. But whether you're happy to rise early or to stay up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.12. How does the author introduce the subject?A.
