高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AWe thought we had it all---a beautiful house，three healthy children and one more on the way，two cars，a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it．Then，the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone．The company was closing down for good．We both started looking for jobs right away，but there weren't any to be found．With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through．The more we pulled together，the closer we got．I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years．That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation．I continually asked him to stop，but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job．Finally，one afternoon I pulled him aside and said，"We have four healthy children．That's what's important．That makes you a rich man．""But what if we lose the house They'll hate me-you'll hate me，" he replied．I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye．"No matter where we live I will be happy--as long as I have you．" I smiled again．In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said "I do"．I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed．He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time．It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family．We are still struggling for our better life，but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us．1.Why was it hard or the author to watch her husband blame himself？______A. She thought she should be blamedB. She thought he had tried his bestC. She thought he would get a job somedayD. She thought it would remind her of sad memories2.Which of the following can best describe the couple's present life？______A. Bitter but quietB. Comfortable and easyC. Hard but happyD. Well-off and relaxing3.The best title of the text might be ______ ．A. We Have It AllB. We Find It AgainC. A Perfect CoupleD. A Hard TimeBDo you think that puppet shows（木偶戏）are just for children？In some parts of the world，like Indonesia，a puppet show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages．At most puppet shows，the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer（操纵木偶的人）sits on the other．However，at an Indonesian front shadow puppet show，the audience can choose which side to sit on．From out front，audience members see shadows ofpuppets acting out exciting scenes of romance or battle．These people enjoy the fantasy that "real" events are taking place．Behind the scenes，it can be fascinating to see a dalang，or puppeteer，in action．The dalang manipulates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods（棒）of buffalo horn or bamboo．Each of a puppet's arms and the main part of its body have their own rods，but its legs are rarely moved on their own．Each puppet has its own voice and its own way of moving．The "good" puppets usually speak calmly and move gracefully；the "bad" ones have rough voices and move in a funny way．The stories acted out by the puppets are often based on ancient myths or legends．A specially written puppet show might also celebrate a birth，wedding，or harvest．Sometimes a dalang chooses an old story that he thinks is appropriate for the village where the performance will take place．Before the show，he may ask local people about current events in the village and then use the puppet show to illustrate possible solutions to local problems．The audience of a shadow puppet show expects to settle in for a long evening．A show may start in the later afternoon and not end until four o'clock the next morning! Children and adults alike may fall asleep in the middle of a show and wake up hours later to find it still going on．Of course，the dalang must remain alert（警觉的）throughout the show．One dalang remarked，"I have no real sense of time until it's all over．"4.How is an Indonesian puppet show different from most other puppet shows？______A. A dalang may take a rest during a showB. People can leave in the middle of a showC. It is an activity enjoyed by people of all agesD. The audience can choose to sit on either side of the screen5.The underlined word "manipulates" in Paragraph 3 means " ______ "．A. buildsB. choosesC. controlsD. watches6.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？______A. The "good" puppets move in a funny wayB. A dalang offers solutions to local problems before the showC. The audience determines the puppets' voice and way of movingD. The dalang attempts to personalize the puppet show for the audienceCA new study，a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania，finds that fitness tracker（追踪器）probably does not help with weight loss．The devices are designed to record your physical activity．They are usually worn around the wrist，where they measure a person's heart rate．The research team looked at two groups of individuals．The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling（咨询）with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan．The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling．The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms，but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms．John Jakicic，the lead researcher，questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of "effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet．"The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18and 35．Some of them were overweight，while others were considered obese（肥胖的）．Over three fourths of the subjects were women．All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet．They had their weight measured once every six months．After six months，researchers divided the group into two parts：one continued with monthly counseling，while members ofthe other group were given a fitness tracker．Eighteen months later，both groups "showed significant improvements in fitness，physical activity，and diet，" with no major difference between groups．However，when it came to losing weight，the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight．Jakicic said，"the study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America's obesity．" More information is needed，he added，to learn how to best use these devices to change "physical activity and diet behaviors" in adults who want to lose weight．7.All the subjects in the study were asked to ______ ．A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. increase physical activitiesD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important？______A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weightB. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight lossC. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatmentsD. There are great differences in fitness between both groups9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text？______A. The study went on for about two yearsB. More than 120 men took part in the studyC. Health counseling helps lose almost 6kilogramsD. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim10.The purpose of the text is to ______ ．A. describe how the researchers were conducting the studyB. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessaryC. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）People have been making and flying kites for about 2，000 years．(1) Some historians believe that the ancient Chinese may have started kite flying．It is still a popular hobby in Pakistan，China，Japan and Korea and in other countries of the Far East where beautifully decorated kites appear in different colors．(2) Simple kites are made by crossing two sticks and covering them with paper or cloth．Then you attach a string at the end．More expensive kites have frames made of fiberglass，plastic or aluminium．The name comes from a graceful bird called Kite．(3) A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite．It flies because air flows over and under the kite's wing．The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air．(4) Early scientists sent kites up into the air to measure temperature at different heights．In 1752，Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a form of electricity．He attached a metal key to the string of a kite．When lightning hit the kite，electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock．It was a dangerous experiment that you shouldn't copy．Kites were also used to develop airplanes．The Wright Brothers experimented with kites before they flew the first airplane．(5) In World War I the Germans developed a large kite that could transport people to a submarine．Kites were also used to carry radio signals over long distances．Today most people fly kites as a hobby．Kite festivals are organized in many cities in all parts of the world．A．Kites are made in many different sizes，co1ors and shapesB．No one knows for sure who invented the kiteC．In the past kites were used to take pictures in warsD．Kite flying is great fun and it's easy if you know some secretsE．In Japan，families fly fish kites on Children's DayF．Stories of kites were brought to Europe till the end of the 13th centuryG．Kites have also been used in experiments11.

childbirth． Each year， about 2.6million babies are born dead and another 2.7 million babies die during the first 28days of life， it said． Most of the deaths are taking place in South Asia and in Africa， south of the Sahara Desert．Many of the deaths could have been avoided with quality health care， WHO officials s aid． Some stillbirths（births of dead babies）， infant（new-born baby） deaths or deaths of mothers result from complications（并发症） during childbirth． Others may result from health problems with the mother． A p oor diet or using drugs may also be to blame， the WHO added．Another problem is that nearly all babies who are stillborn and half of all newborn death s are never documented． Those deaths are not reported to or investigated by governme nt health agencies． Traditions and beliefs often affect the collection of important record s about infant deaths． In many countries， there is a belief that a stillbirth may not repr esent a lost life． Officials said this means the actual number of stillborn and newborn d eaths is probably even higher than the WHO's own current estimates． The United Natio ns agency says the lack of information makes it harder to find solutions． It is important for all births and deaths to be recorded so that health officials can make better decisions on how to prevent future deaths．The WHO released three reports earlier this month to help health agencies do a better jo b collecting information．______答案和解析1.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】A【解析】21．B．细节理解题．根据That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situa tion． I

AThe other day I was shopping at a local store and came upon a lady from India squatting on the floor looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf. She sprang up when she saw me as if to get out of my way. Apologetically she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break, trying to get a few needed items before her time was up.I reassured her, "I am in no hurry. Go ahead and do what you need to do." While she searched for a particular brand, she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and she really appreciated my kindness. I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people.I also explained to her that I was a retired nurse and understood some of what she was saying first hand. Sometimes patients, families, or doctors could be very rude or mean. But I tried to understand why they were feeling that way and let it go. "The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward each other. Those who are rude may have bad karma coming after them eventually." I added.She nodded and was surprised, “So you know about karma?” My reply was simple. “A little bit. Karma is the same thing as doing something bad and it comes back to bite you on the butt.” She paused, looked puzzled, then broke out in a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand, laughing as she walked away.It felt so good that in a brief exchange I showed her there were kind people in the world, which might have helped her regain her faith in humanity.1. How did the lady react when she saw the author in the store?A. She apologized for her rude manners.B. She invited her to have lunch together.C. She stood up trying to make way for her.D. She kept searching for the needed product.2. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Kind and understanding.B. Courageous and warm﹣hearted.C. Responsible and humorous.D. Sympathetic and open﹣minded.3. What is the main message the author wants to convey?A. Working as a cashier is no easy job.B. Those who are rude deserve bad karma.C. Doing acts of kindness will make people feel good.D. We should treat others the way we want to be treated.『答案』1. C 2. A 3. D『解析』这是一篇记叙文。

2023-2024学年浙江省宁波市上学期期末九校联考高二英语试题“Critic’s Pick. The movie is extremely emotional(like a Toni Morrison novel or a MaryOliver poem).”LISA KENNEDY, THE NEW YORK TIMESRaven Jaskson *2023 *U.S. *97 minutes2023 Gotham Award Nominee for Breakthrough Figure(Raven Jackson)One of the most visually striking, profoundly moving American moviemaking debuts(首次亮相)in years, Raven Jackson’s All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is an eye-catching immersion into a young woman’s inner world, filmed and edited with an extraordinary attention to the tiniest detail. This impressionistic journey skips ahead and back through decades to tell the story of Mack, whose upbringing in rural Mississippi is touched by grace, dotted with heartbreak, and always carried high in the sky by the surrounding natural beauty. As she ages, she loses loved ones and gains others, while making decisions that change the course of her life, and that of her beloved sister. Relying on sounds and images to tell her story, and employing minimal dialogue, Jackson has created something breathtakingly quiet and ultimately transporting a spiritual respect to the moments, feelings, and connections that make a life. An A24 release.Show Times:November 7—November 1512:15 PM 2:15 PM 4:15 PM 6:15 PM 8:15 PMPlease note:*Open caption screenings of the film will play on November 8—November 1312:15 PM 6:15 PM*Audio description available at all screenings.1.

Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Mack’s life is full of ups and downs.B．All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is highly thought of.C．New technology is used to create some thrilling scenes.D．Mack, the leading role, is brought up in the countryside.3.

It was what he observed in his boyhood that took root in his pursuit of becoming a biologist. After he finished his study at university. Fritz landed work at Austria’s Konrad Lorenz Research Center, raising raven chicks by hand and teaching graylag geese how to open boxes as he pursued his PhD. Working this closely with free-living animals was exactly what he’d dreamed of as a boy.In 1997, a zoo gave the research center its first northern bald ibis chicks(隐鹮)Nowhere near as teachable as geese—and not even close to super intelligent ravens—the ibises frustrated most of the scientists. But Fritz was fascinated. He devoted himself to taking care of them. After the ibises were first released back into the wild more than 20 years ago, Fritz learned that spending generations in zoo hadn’t reduced their drive to migrate(迁徙), though it did leave them geographically uninformed. In their search for “south”, some ended up in Russia. What the ibises needed, Fritz thought, was a guide.Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan—because he had done it before. ”Around that time, the movie ‘Fly Away Home’ was a huge hit with us biologists,“ Fritz says. When he announced that he’d do the same with t he ibises, he was initially laughed at. But Fritz didn’t give up. He modified an ultralight aircraft so it would travel at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. He had been his young pupils’ only provider of food, love and hugs since they were just a few days old, and the ibises eagerly followed their teacher, who just happened to pilot a fairly noisy machine.In 2004, three years after some initially bumpy(颠簸的)experiments, Fritz led the first batch of birds from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young.4. What determined Fritz’s career choice?A．Fritz’s childhood observation.B．Fritz’s passion for biology.C．Fritz’s growth environment.D．Fritz’s interaction with animals.5. What disappointed the scientists about ibis chicks?A．They are easy to get lost in the migration.B．They are lacking in the desire to migrate.C．They are accustomed to the life in the zoo.D．They are strikingly far from easy to teach.6. Why did Fritz decide to teach the ibises a new migration route?A．The ibises were too awkward to find a new migration route.B．The ibises needed a guide for lack of geographical knowledge.C．Fritz wanted to prove that he could succeed in a daring plan.D．Fritz wanted to recreate a touching scene of a popular movie.7. What is Fritz like according to the passage?A．sensitive but courageous. B．innovative but demanding.C．persistent and insightful. D．enthusiastic and cooperative.Imagine this: You walk into a place and the atmosphere is light and airy. The subtle scent of coffee beans fills the air and everyone that approaches you is friendly and welcoming. You’re comfortable and feel like you belo ng. As in most cities, it’s a place where people meet, discuss ideas, and conduct business. After taking a few sips of that Caramel Macchiato, you immediately get that feeling of energy and optimism. Perhaps it’s partly due to the caffeine and sugar rush, or maybe it’s that the presence of a Starbucks typically indicates a city on the rise.In December of 2017, Trenton’s first Starbuck’s café was opened to the public at 102 Warren Street. Walking in, people living in Trenton scream at everything about this café, from the diverse but local stuff to the Trenton themed décor(室内装饰)and art. To make things better, this Starbucks also serves as an ”opportunity café“ which essentially means the young people in our communities are recruited and offered job training and employment. This program not only uplifts our youth, but also increases the amount of minority business in the city.In the interviews with customers, a trend in responses arose. To many, the Starbucks was a ”favorite place to stop in after work“ and provided ”a very relaxing environment.“ The staff were often highly praised, noted as being friendly, helpful, and working in harmony. The interior décor of the caféstruck a lot of people’s attention, given the familiarity of the atmosphere. Painted on th e walls, all around the store, are murals(壁画)with bright, colorful, graffiti-like designs very sui generis in Trenton, showcasing local monuments like the State House and the famous ”Trenton Makes“ bridge. This new Starbucks brings a sense of modernity to Downtown Trenton and reminds us that our city is always developing. Open from 6 a. m. until 7 p.m. every day, the building is hardly ever empty. This space is made for everyone in Trenton, even the non-coffee lovers.8. What is the major function of Paragraph 1 in the passage?A．To present an introduction to the topic.B．To set a background for the main theme.C．To summarize the main idea of the passage.D．To describe a common phenomenon for the readers.9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．People are amazed at the number of job opportunities provided by the Starbucks.B．”Opportunity café“ program helps achieve booming economy and bring spiritual benefits.C．Most respondents regarded the Starbucks as a harmonious and entertaining workplace.D．Numerous people are attracted to stop in after work by the murals with original designs. 10. What does the underlined word ”sui generis“ mean in Paragraph 3?A．Substantial. B．Delicate. C．Inspirational. D．Unique.11. What could be the best title for the passage?A．Starbucks Is Designed for EveryoneB．Starbucks Gains Popularity in TrentonC．Starbucks Sets an Atmosphere of ProgressD．Starbucks Creates More Job OpportunitiesIn recent years American society has become increasingly dependent on its universities to find solutions to its major problems. It is the universities that have been to blame for developing the expertise to place men on the moon; for dealing with our urban problems and with our worsening environment; for developing the means to feed the world’s rapidly increasing population. The effort involved in meeting these demands presents its own problems. In addition, however, this concentration on the creation of new knowledge significantly impinges on the universities’ efforts to perform their other principal functions, the transmission and interpretation of knowledge-the imparting of the heritage of the past and the preparing of the next generation to carry it forward.With regard to this, perhaps their most traditionally acknowledged task, college and universities today find themselves in a serious situation. On one hand, there is the American commitment, especially since World War Ⅱ, to provide higher education for all young people who can profit from it. The result of the commitment has been a dramatic rise in enrollments(登记入学) in our universities, coupled with a striking shift from the private to the public sector of higher education.On the other hand, there are serious and continuing limitations on the resources available for higher education. While higher education has become a great ”growth industry“, it is also at the same time a tremendous drain(耗竭) on the resources of the nation. With the vast increase in enrollment and the shift in priorities away from education in state and federal(联邦的) budgets, there is in most of our public institutions a significant decrease in expenses for their students. One crucial aspect of this drain on resources lies in the persistent shortage of trained faculty(全体教师), which has led, in turn, to a declining standard of competence in instruction.Intensifying these difficulties is, as indicated above, the concern with research, with its increasing claims on resources and the attention of the faculty. In addition, there is a strong tendency for the instit utions’ organization and functioning to fulfill the demands of research rather than those of teaching.12. According to Paragraph 1, what should be the most important function of American universities?A．Sparing no effort to create new knowledge for students.B．Enhancing students’ competence of tackling social problems.C．Making experts on advanced industries out of their students.D．Preparing their students to transmit the knowledge of the past.13. In American universities, there is a contradiction between________.A．more students and less investment B．education quality and economic profitC．low enrollment rate and high education demand D．private ownership and American commitment14. A serious outcome brought about by the shortage of resources is that________.A．many public institutions have to cut down enrollments of studentsB．teachers are not competent enough to perform satisfactorily in classC．some institutions are forced to reduce the total expenses on researchD．there is keen competition for resources between public and private institutions15. What worsened the severity of the problems faced by American universities?A．The improper distribution of American universities’ resources.B．The increasing argument over American universities’ pr imary task.C．The inability of American universities’ organization and fulfillment.D．The growing focus on American universities’ function of research.There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. 16 However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want!Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 17 Especially not if they’re upset at you.Maintain a calm tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience: you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 18 Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully a nd rationally.Be patient and give them time to think about it. 19 Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues. Say it like that, and you’ll be sure to impress them with how well-rounded and balanced your argument is.20 Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a p et requires. Having a good understanding of what you’ll be asking your parents aboutwill help you present your case successfully; by knowing your topic inside and out, you’ll have confident answers for their (many, many) questions.I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.
