外研版高二（上）期末英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1．（7.5分）I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines （疫苗） cause brain damage，and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society． The only shot I received was for tetanus （破伤风） when I was two months old． After that， nothing．At the beginning of each school year， I was very nervous． Delayed term paper？ Mischievous （捣蛋的） behavior？ Late for school？ None of them． I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office． The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school． But the same thing occurred each time： my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen． After doing a lot of research， I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group， they can cause major consequences． People who， for health or age reasons，cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease．Eventually， I turned 18． In Ohio， where I live， I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots． A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit． Last November， I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor． After my post received more than 1，000 comments， I made an appointment with my family physician． Despite how strongly my mother felt， I went through with it anyway．I did something every person should do． It wasn't special in any way． Vaccines protect the health andsafety of not only yourself but also other people． Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated． This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition．（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year？A． He was late for school．B． He didn't behave himself at school．C． He couldn't hand in his term paper on time．D． He was hardly ever vaccinated．（2）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician？A． Annoyed．B． Grateful．C． Thrilled．D． Guilty．（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story？A． Listening to your mother pays off．B． Doing the right thing matters．C． Keeping fit is the best policy．D． Asking for advice helps．2．（10分）When did you last buy something？Maybe you are looking forward to a shopping trip at the weekend， but will it make you happy？ In the short term， the answer might be yes． However， some people think it might not be good for our health and happiness in the long term．One of the busiest shopping days of the year in the USA is Black Friday （the fourth Friday of November），which has spread around the world． However， not everyone will be queuing for a bargain． In 1992，Buy Nothing Day started in Canada and now more than sixty countries take part． Their message is simple："Participate by not participating．" For twenty﹣four hours on the fourth Friday of November， people do not buy anything at all． Some people choose to spend time with friends and family instead． Others join protests． But what's the point？Every single purchase that you make has some kind of an effect on the planet． Making the products and transporting them to the shops use a lot of natural resources． When they are no longer in fashion， the products will end up in the dustbin． All this contributes to air and water pollution， the destruction of our environment and social inequality．The social influence of our spending habits is also serious． People in consumerist culture are more likely to suffer from financial problems and stress． In order to buy expensive products， people work long hours and therefore spend less time with family and friends．Critics of Buy Nothing Day say it's meaningless because people will just buy more the following day． But the organizers argue that Buy Nothing Day makes people think about the consequences of consumption and maybe make some changes to their life style．（1）Why is the question "When did you last buy something？" asked？A． To remind us of the approaching of Black Friday．B． To attach importance to our health and happiness．C． To introduce the topic of shopping too much．D． To encourage us to participate in Buy Nothing Day．（2）How can people participate in Buy Nothing Day？A． By not participating in any advertisement for Black Friday．B． By not buying anything on four Fridays of November．C． By spending time shopping with friends and family．D． By not going shopping on Black Friday．（3）What's NOT the point of Buy Nothing Day？A． Saving time spent on working．B． Saving the environment and our earth．C． Saving money for charity．D． Saving our relationship with friends and family．（4）What's the organizers' opinion on Buy Nothing Day？A． It can make a difference in some way．B． It won't have a lasting effect．C． It can help people choose goods more reasonably．D． It can cure people's shopping addiction．3．（7.5分）Of all the places stray （流浪的）cats can live in Beijing，perhaps none provides greater companionship than an underground facility known as the "Cat Shed"． A variety of cats are spread across the shed's 100 square meters． They jump and play on toy towers or rest on cotton blankets on iron﹣framed beds．Since the facility was established in 2012， some 150 cats have lived there． More than 100 volunteers attend to the strays． Many claim that they gain greater benefit from the interaction than the cats， because the animals offer not just companionship， but also a kind of healing．The "housekeeper" is Yin Yi， a doctoral candidate at the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute in Beijing． When the 29﹣year﹣old arrived in the capital in late 2015， he faced huge pressure from his studies and personal relationships， while the alien environment exacerbated his feeling of loneliness． After gaining a master's from a university in Inner Mongolia， Yin relocated to go for a doctorate in material sciences． Accustomed to having friends around， he was not used to a lonely life， especially working by himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days． To improve his mood， he decided to contact animal bases， looking for opportunities to care for stray cats． When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking for volunteers， he contacted Wu Xinhua， who organizes activities at the Cat Shed， and was soon surrounded by furry friends． His favorite moment is when he dishes out food and a dozen strays gather round， with several rubbing against his feet． When he graduates， Yinplans to house three strays in his apartment．（1）What does the underlined word "exacerbated" in

enjoy themselves at the Cat ShedB． Volunteers make stray cats live a better lifeC． "Stray" youngsters in Beijing need healingD． Furry friends promote stress﹣free lives第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．4．（10分）Eyesight is the sense that you rely upon the most． Since we live in a world that requires your eyes to routinely stare at the small type and images on cell phones， computer screens， and televisions， it is important for you to improve and protect your eyesight．（1）．Eyes are just like any other part of the body．（2）．Similar to

It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances are that you’ 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil—powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they’ re working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums〔耳鼓〕. The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn’t change too much〔music, for example〕may even help people to concentrate.36. According to this passage, the noise pollution __A. has become the worst in the countrysideB. has become better in big citiesC. has spread from cities to villagesD. has been controlled in modern cities37. What does background music refer to?A. Music played while people are working.B. Music played in the backyard.C. Noise that continues while you’ re listening to other noises.D. Music used to help people to concentrate.38. Some people have their hearing harmed __A. while listening to pop musicB. in complete silenceC. when speaking loudlyD. while watching TV39. Which of the following isn’t included among the things causing noise?A. trucksB. motorcyclesC. electric enginesD. jet planes40. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something isA. all kinds of noiseB. great changes in the level of noiseC. background noiseD. popular musicBIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition〔学会〕of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm〔热情〕for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality〔准时〕for meals. In general, the controls imposed〔强加的〕represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community〔社区〕as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept〞. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach〔说教〕, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.41. Eagerly watchi ng the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things42. When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.A. encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. not expect too much of themC. achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. create as many learning opportunities as possible43. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation44. The underlined word “precept〞〔in Paragraph 3〕probably means “_____〞.A. ideaB. punishmentC. behaviourD. instruction45. In moral matters, parents should _____.A. observe〔遵守，奉行〕the rules themselvesB. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. satisfy their children’s needs四. 根据要求写出如下词的正确形式：〔共15小题；每一小题1分，总分为15分〕1.

Tour package 1&2BA couple of years ago I graduated from art school. After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree. I had majored in Illustration（插图）and loved it, but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies. This left me with few options other than freelance（自由作家）and a nannying（保姆）job.I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side. It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent, but I loved it, so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding. I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them. It wasn’t much, and I hoped it would be a good gift. When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect. There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried, “That’s us! This is so beautiful!”It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment. I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures. Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over. I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for. Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.I’ve just started offering couple, family and pet portraits as an item on my first shop.4. After graduation, the author chose to ________.A. do illustrations for a companyB. draw portraitsC. work as a nanny&a freelanceD. draw furry creatures5. Why did the author decide to draw a portrait for her friends as a wedding present?A. Her friends requested her to do so.B. She thought it was meaningful.C. She hadn’t enough money available to buy one.D. She was fond of drawing people best.6. How did the customers feel when they received their portrait?A. delighted.B. frightened.C. embarrassed.D. shocked.7. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Your major is your future careerB. I gave a gift and it turned into a careerC. I sacrificed a lot for my jobD. You are to do what you desire to doCAbout a century ago, the average life-span (寿命) for Americans was about 50 years. Today, the typical American lives for around seventy-eight years.According to a German aging study, the maximum life span in industrialized countries has increased by two years every decade since the mid 19th century. What accounts for such increased longevity? Between 1900 and 1950, inventions such as refrigeration（制冷技术）and sewage treatment（污水处理）meant that young people were able to survive longer. Moreover, medical breakthroughs helped contain diseases such as polio（小儿麻痹症）, which killed many children. These advances helped increase the average life span.Medical discoveries after World War II tended to benefit older people. Treatments for heart disease, for example, have allowed the elderly to live longer on average. So does this mean that future medical breakthroughs will result in even longer average life spans, or have we reached our limit? Scientists disagree.Some argue that if science is one day able to remove disease and old-age infirmity, there will be virtually no limit on how long humans can live. Some even predict that by the year 2150, the average life span will have increased to around 120 years.Other life-expectancy researchers find that scenario(假设) highl y unlikely. Our bodies’ cells can keep reproducing for only so long before they peter out（分裂）. Only when science finds a way to keep our cells dividing longer will we see another significant leap in life expectancy.Still, with plenty of exercise and a hea lthy diet, those who hold the view can always hope that they’ll live long enough to break the record held by Jeanne Louise Calment of France, who lived to be 122.8. Compared with the average life-span about a century ago, the typical American lives about________ years longer at present.A. 50B. 78C. 28D. 429. After World War II, the longer average life spans mainly resulted from ________.A. refrigeration and sewage treatmentB. medical breakthroughsC. keeping the cells dividing longerD. reducing polio10. What is the scientists’ attitude towards the view “we have reached our life-span limit”?A. supportiveB. objectiveC. optimisticD. disapproving11. According to some life-expectancy researchers, keeping our bodies’ c ells reproducing before they peter out may be ________.A. impossibleB. possibleC. excitingD. concerningDCertain aspects of music have the same effect on people even when they live in very different societies, a new study reveals.Researchers asked 40 Mbenzele Pygmies in the Congolese rainforest to listen to short clips of music. They were asked to listen to their own music and to unfamiliar Western music.The same 19 selections of music were also played to 40 amateur or professional musicians in Montreal. Musicians were included in the Montreal group because Mbenzele Pygmies could be considered musicians as they all sing regularly for ceremonial purposes, the study authors explained.Both groups were asked to rate how the music made them feel using emoticons, such as happy, sad or excited faces.There were significant differences between the two groups as to whether a specific piece of music made them feel good or bad. However, both groups had similar responses to how exciting or calming they found the different types of music.“Our major discovery is that listeners from very different groups both responded to how exciting or calming they felt the music to be in similar ways,” Hauke Egermann, of the Technical University of Berlin, said in a news release from McGill University in Montreal. Egermann conducted part of the study as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill.The Montreal participants felt a wider range of emotions as they listened to the Western music than the Pygmies expressed when listening to either their own or Western music. This may be due to the different roles music plays in the two cultures.“Negative emotions are felt to disturb the harmony of the forest in Pygmy culture and are therefore dangerous,” Nathalie Fernando, of th e University of Montreal's faculty of music, said in the news release. “If a baby is crying, the Mbenzele will sing a happy song. If the men are scared of going hunting, they will sing a happy song — in general, music is used in this culture to evacuate all negative emotions, so it is not really surprising that the Mbenzele feel that all the music they hear makes them feel good,” she explained.12. Why could Mbenzele Pygmies be regarded as musicians?A. They are crazy about music.B. They major in music at school.C. They can play musical instruments well.D. They often sing songs on ceremony.13.
