In A.D. 125, Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer living in Egypt, claimed that the planets and the sun moved around Earth. (11) other astronomers had different ideas, Ptolemy’s theory was held for almost 1,500 years.In the 1540s, the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus published many books, one(12) explained how Earth and the other planets orbit the sun. In the early 1600s,Galileo proved that Copernicus was right. Galileo made his observations by (13) (use) a telescope (望远镜).He was the first astronomer to use one.Today,astronomers use telescopes that are much (14) (powerfiil) than Galileo's In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope began to orbit Earth. The Hubble telescope studies some rays from distant stars and galaxies (银河系).These are the rays that never reach Earth, because they (15) (s top) by Earth’s atmosphere. The Hubble telescope has found evidence of a black hole—a(16) (fall) star that takes in all matter that comes near (17) . The Hubbletelescope has also sent back information about some very young stars.(18) (study) planets in our solar system, scientists have launched unarmed space Probes (探测器).In 1997, the Pathfinder mission landed a small vehicle named Sojourner on Mars. So far. Sojourner (19) (learn) that the composition of Mars is more like Earth than scientists had thought. (20) Earth, Mars has a melted core. Pressure bubbles up from that core and sometimes causes volcanoes.Section B 9%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Teeth-Heart ConnectionYou’ve probably heard the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise and so on. But did you know that the health of your gums (牙龈)may also _21 your probability of developing heart disease?More than 120 studies have looked into the possible 22 between gum disease and heart disease. Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease. This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't 23 cause heart disease.Doctors and scientists have offered a number of possible reasons for this connection. One common factor is inflammation (炎症),which occurs when the body senses a danger and sends white blood cells to _24_ it. This leads to painftil swelling, which is the main sign of gum disease. While inflammation hasn't been shown to cause heart disease, it often goes with it. And as it turns out, the same types of bacteria (细菌)ofien lead to inflammation in both diseases.It’s also possible that the connection has less to do with biology than with the habits of a(n) _25_. Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that 26 heart disease.So what does this mean for your health? Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn’t certain, don't assume (臆断)that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart Certainly, brushing is no replacement for exercise and a healthy diet, but keeping your mouth healthy and avoidxng gum disease are still _27_ goals to work towards. They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your beautiftil smile complete. This research does mean that if you have gum disease, you should get your heart checked. This is 28 true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reasons, such as smoking.Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected The body is a(n)__29__ and mysterious thing, so do all you can to preserve it.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A 15%BirceCandn: For each bland in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.

One in 14 people over 65 years old suffers from _36_ loss. Older people who walk six miles or more per week keep their brains in better shape. Putting one foot in front of the other isn't 37.You don t have to think about it,so you can _ 38 other things. You can consider problems or think of ideas.

Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then.

If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter, excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示)that when the door is closed, you’re not to be disturbed.Ⅴ.Translation 10% (第1-2题每题3分;第3题4分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into Englishi ,using the words given in the brackets.1.充足的睡眠可以使你白天精力充沛。

meals.There's a catch,however.You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week.There are no books or television or radio for amusement.You can't leave until the week is up.And a camera will be recording your every move.Two people actually took the job.The idea came from Rob Thompson,a video artist.He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated.His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food.He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.To Rob's surprise,quite a few people answered his advertisement.He had interviewed and selected Eric,a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker,and Para,a 24﹣year﹣old chemist.The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide.A camera would record their experiences,which would take place in an art museum.The week was long and difficult.They slept on a hard wooden floor.They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads.They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe.Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain.There were no sinks,mirrors,or toothbrushes in the cage.Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage.Visitors who came here were warned,"Do not feed the humans."Finally it was over,and Para and Eric appeared from their cage.They had survived the week,and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands.When RobThompson opened the cage,Eric came out,changed into clean clothes,and ate a chocolate bar right away."It's great to be able to stand up,"he said.Para just changed her clothes and left.After a week of visitors and reporters watching her,she didn't want to talk to anyone.56.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?A.He is curious about people's personal life.B.He is kind﹣hearted to animals.C.He hates people around.D.He likes to help poor people.57.The underlined word"catch"probably means.A.unsolved problem B.surprising wonderC.unbelievable fact D.hidden difficulty58.What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?A.They didn't know each other.B.They couldn't lie down to sleep in the cage.C.They didn't have meat to eat.D.They had to do almost everything under others'eyes.59.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.Easy Way to Earn $2,500 B.Do Not Feed the HumansC.Living Like a Chicken D.Getting Along Well Anyway.60.(8分)This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.Can you

they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI)of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds."This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,"said physician Adatto."Underweight models,"he explained,"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny."But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry."I think it's an approach that isn't going to work."said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said."I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation.There was no time to waste;so many girls were dieting to death."However,the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still,folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with."Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,"she says."It's a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."64.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is.A.to change the working conditions of modelsB.to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65.In the opinion of the critics,the law won't succeed because.A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.B.it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well.C.it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models.D.the fashion industry is much too influential.66.What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?A.Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.B.Establishing his fashion model agent.C.Being interviewed by a reporter.D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.67.(8分)In face of global warming,much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies.But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives,it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.In the meantime,the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."As long as we're consuming fossil fuels,we're putting out CO2,"says Klaus Lackner,a geophysicist at Columbia University,"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely."That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2,which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming."We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral (基本的)role in reducing emissions,"says Kim Corley,Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs.That forward thinking strategy is gaining support.The U.S.Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant.The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants.But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it?One option is to put it to new uses.Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts (转换)coal into synthetic(合成的)natural gas.It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada,where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations.In the Netherlands,Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses,increasing their production of fruits and vegetables.However,scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage.Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean,Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline (盐的)formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.67.What does the author intend to tell readers?A.How to find more oil and natural gases.B.How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.C.How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively.D.How to make good use of solar and wind energy.68.According to the passage,the following statements are true EXCEPT that.A.the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B.it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC.capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D.long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69.By using CO2,Dutch farmers have been able to.A.increase their production of fruits and vegetables B.convert coal into synthetic natural gasC.pump it underground in oil recovery operations D.make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70.How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph?A.It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy.B.It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U.S government sponsors.C.It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful.D.It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment.第四部分:任务型阅读(满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.每个空格只填一个单词.71.(10分)Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life,and we should keep learning something new every day.To become a lifelong learner,first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie.You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things.Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things.This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things.Anyway,be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now.To make learning fun,you need to see learning as an exploration,not a chore (杂事).Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.Instead,learn things you need to learn and you love to learn.Follow your heart,as well as your sense of duty.Even when you're learning the things you have to,seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn.Look at the history,case studies,different applications,etc.,to make your learning experience much more colorful.Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful.So make friends with local new and used book sellers.Through reading you'll never stop learning.Wise people read lots of books all the time;it's as simple as that.And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.So remember that books,newspapers,and magazines are all reading,and as are websites,reviews and other online sources of information.Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers.So be sure to listen closely and understand the response.Sometimes a response is difficult to understand.Feel free to take notes,ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components (成分)to make sense of it.You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have.Questions can teach as much as,or more than,answers.To be a lifelong learner,often evaluate (评估)and apply what you learn.Does it make sense?Is it true?Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning.In addition,applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer.How to become a lifelong learner.ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and(71)By trying many different things,you can be aware of your possible (72)to do many things well.You should overcome your past memories and don't(73)any chance to tryin.something new.View learningas an exploration.Don't force yourself to learn something.Instead,be eager to learn what(74)to you.When learning the things you

broadcast.强调的为时间状语,故选C.【点评】题目中含有It is/was…that…这样的结构,首先要考虑它是不是强调句.如果把这种句型结构划掉后,应该是一个完整无缺的句子,这就是强调句;这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的方法.24.(1分)_______ a child's parents die,UNICEF would have special projects to help the

2018-2019学年浦东新区高二上英语期末考试
2018-2019学年浦东新区高二上英语期末考试II. Grammar and Vocabulary 17%Section A 8%Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks use one word that best fits each blank.Throughout history, people have been used to many types of crimes, but recently, we have had to face a new one: cybercrime.What exactly is cybercrime? Computers and the Internet have made life much (16) (easy) than it used to be. However, they have also brought a new criminal into our own living rooms. Cybercrime is when a crime (17) (commit) on a computer or over a network. There are many types of cybercrime, and some of the most common examples include spam(垃圾短信), identity theft and cracking.Spam is extremely common and almost everybody has some experience of receiving emails they don’t want in their inbox. It occurs when 'spammers' send emails, usually and advertisement for a product or service, to a large number of people at the same time. Spammers collect email addresses from all over the Internet, (19) (send) spam to them at random.Identity theft is when somebody steals your personal information and uses it (20) their own benefit. For example, an identity thief could find out your date of birth, address and credit card number, and then pretend (21) (be) you when they go shopping online.Cracking, or hacking, is the activity of (22) (break) into networks of organizations or governments. This is a very serious crime as a 'hacker' can access some highly confidential information and use it for illegal purposes.So (23) we depend on technology more and more for everyday things, it is important to be increasingly careful with our personal information: don' be a victim of cybercrime!Section B 9%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. NoteEverywhere you look, there are images of the 'ideal' programmes and magazine ads are full of perfectly proportioned models and actors, and hardly anyone who could be seen as less than perfect. Is the 24 to be perfect now so great that it's destroying the self-esteem of an entire generation? Are most teenagers today insecure because of what they see in the media?The answer is probably yes, if we consider that plastic surgery(整形手术) is becoming more and more 25 . Since 1997 there has been a 465% increase in the total number of cosmetic procedures, despite the cost. Liposuction, for example, can cost up to E5,000. The number of teenagers who consider having plastic surgery just to look good is 26 .Teenagers are usually quite 27 about their physical appearance because it's so closely connected with their sense of self-esteem and 28 particularly in relationships with the opposite sex. Teenagers seem to want plastic surgery for different reasons from adults. Whereas adults often want plastic surgery so that they can stand out from the crowd, teenagers usually have operations done to look more like everyone else. The desire to have a good body is so great that many young men are turning to anabolic steroids(合成代谢类固醇) hormones in a(n) 29 to build a 'better' body. And it's not just girls who suffer from eating disorders —boys are now being diagnosed with them too, so they obviously feel the same pressure to be 30 attractive as girls do.Everyone has things about themselves they would like to change. It isn't 31 or wrong to think about improving your body — it's important for all of us to 32 in shape, eat well and try to make the most of ourselves. But you shouldn't let the 'imperfections' hat you find control your self-image, or you'll never be happy. We ought to realize that if we feel good inside, we’ll feel good with other people.III. Reading Comprehension 30%Section A 10%Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We’ve all heard the incredible dot-com(网上公司)success about Internet start-ups that became billion-dollar companies almost overnight. Companies like c-Bay. PayPal, YouTube, and Google turned a(n) 33 few into instant millionaires. But what about the so-called "dot-bombs", the companies that didn’t 34 it? Who were they, and what did they do wrong? was an online grocery store that was founded in the late 1990s and wen bankrupt in 2001. On Webvan. com, a user could order groceries and have them 35 whenever they wanted. Sounds like a great idea, right? So why did it 36 ?Like some of its fellow Internet failures, Webvan. com moved much too fast. Within a year and a half, Webvan was 37 in eight cities and had plans to enter over a dozen more. Perhaps counting on a huge number of future users, Webvan spent over 51 billion on warchouses and supplies before it had become 38 . But the company didn’t attract the number of users it needed and soon closed its doors.Another 39 shared by some dot-bombs is spending too much money on advertising and losing sight of the company’s real 40 . For example, the company focused a great deal of its energy and funding on commercials featuring a loveable sock puppet. The puppet became extremely popular with consumers and the company spent millions of dollars on advertising. But the start-up's actual service selling and delivering pet supplies, never became popular enough with consumers to 41 all the money that was spent on promotion.The downfall of some other dot-bombs was focusing on cutting-edge technology more than user needs. This was one of the factors leading to the failure of the British start-up . this start-up was created to sell fashion online to consumers around the world. However, the website was difficult to navigate, and it used technology that 42 a lot of bandwidth to operate a a time when most people were using slow dial-up connections.33. A. poor B. lucky C. unfortunate D.dissatisfied34.A.succeed B. retain C.make D. show35.A.cooked B. washed C.conducted D. delivered36.A. fail B. run C.function D. transform37.A.available B. measurable C. current D.distinguished38.A. operational B. profitable C. convenient D.adaptable39.A. benefit B. objective C. mistake D. contest40.A.programs B.goals C. issues D. pressure41.A. justify B. adopt C.reduce D. resist42.A.decreased B.illustrated C. ruined D.required43.44.Section B 12%45.Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.46.(A)47.Bomb Disposal(处理)Diver48.Typical salary: In the private sector you can earn up to £100, 000 a year,working just two months out of every three.49.The job: Being a bomb disposal diver involves descending to the seabed and searching for unexploded bombs, shells, grenades and landmines. Then either safely recovering and collecting the weapons, or securely disposing of them.50.Qualifications: To dive offshore, companies will expect you to have diving qualifications and, if possible, you should have a few years’ diving experience. On top of that, you must be given a diving assessment and a diving first aid course. and also undergo offshore survival training. These qualifications are a must-have requirement and you should expect to pay at least £15, 000 for all these courses. And that’s just the diving. To be able to dispose of the bombs safely, you’ll be required to have an explosive ordnance disposal(EOD)(爆炸性军械处理) qualification and several years of experience.51.To succeed as a bomb disposal diver, you need ... to stay calm in stressful situations. ‘You’re pretty much on your own at depth, with no visibility, working to a very narrow timescale’, says Daniel Roantree, an EOD diver. And you have to live with five to ten people in close proximity(靠近) for month or longer, so if you don’t like living in small confined spaces with lots of other people, forget it. Personal space is something of a luxury.52.Worst thing about the job: Expect to be away from home at least six months of the year.53.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"descending"?54.A. sinking B.resting C. converting D. committing55.Which of the following is NOT a requirement to qualify for the job as a bomb disposal diver?A. A diving assessment.B. An EOD qualification.C. A diving first-aid course.D. Survival training on land.45. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. The diver can enjoy much personal space.B. At most, the diver can stay with his family for six months a year.C. The diver has to pay at least £15, 000 year to retain the job.D. Experience is not essential to get the job.(B)It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined (倾向于) to think that all Africans are musicians.The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum band is performing. "Anybody can take part. "This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of music sound. Performances often take place in an open area(that is, not on a stage)and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.46. The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _______ .A. most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of musicB. we are musical performers and they are professional musicianC most ofus are passive spectators while they are active spectatorD. we are the audience and they are the additional performer47. The author of the passage implies thatA all Africans are musical and therefore music is performed in AfricaB. not all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lifeC most Africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instrumentD. most Africans perform as well as professional musicians48. The best title for this passage would beA. The Importance of Music to African PeopleB. Differences Between African Music and Music of Other CountriesC The Relationship Between Musicians and Their AudienceD. A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformanceSection C 8%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be usedToday, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. ___49_____ And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn’t feel natural doing something that isn't academic.But while this may be true, it's not a good enough reason to condemn(谴责) gap years. There’s always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated (永久的)" race to the finish line". whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative (赚钱的) career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits. ___50_____Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. ____51___ It prepares them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes -all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities.____52____ According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. This isn’t surprising, considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes. It's not necessarily a bad thing. but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.IV. Summary writing 8%Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. Ifeel there are a number of reasons for thisSome people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has tumed out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this. Because good eating habits begin carly in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they cal, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their livesThere is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise Tey clo not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the le main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habitsV.

The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning.”“Sir,” said the poor man, “I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I’ll sleep in that hotel.” The rich man said, “That is not so hard. Tonight your dream will come true. I’ll pay for the best room in that hotel for you for a whole month.”A few days later, the rich man went by the poor man’s room toask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel, back to his park bench.When the rich man asked why, the poor man said, “You see, whenI am down here sleeping on my bench, I dream I’m up there, inth at big hotel. It’s a wonderful dream. But when I was up there, I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream, and I couldn’t get any sleep at all.”( )31.The poor man lived in ____before he met the rich man.A.the hotelB.his homeC.the parkD.the car( )32.Every morning ,the poor man sat on the bench and _______.A.waited for the rich manB.looked at the rich man’shotelC.looked at the rich man’s carD.enjoyed the clean air( )33.

In the end, the poor man found it _______to sleep in the hotel.A.sorryB.niceC.sadD.terriblePassage 2Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day, they are: green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; citrus (柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; milk and foods made from milk; bread or cereal (谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; butter, or something like butter.People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned (罐装的) or frozen (冷冻的). It doesn’t matter if a person eats d inner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on the earth. The first is to find some way to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry.

高二上学期期末英语试题-Word版含答案
2017-2018学年第一学期期末检测高二英语试题卷第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)见小纸第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共10个小题;每小题2分,满分20分)ABob Dylan could hardly have imagined that he would get this kind of special praise for his long career as a musician and songwriter.The Nobel Prize for Literature from the Swedish Academy on October 13 is only the most recent achievement of a man who has long been among the cultural masters of the modern age. He has "created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the academy.Although Dylan, 75, is not really seen as a literary(文学的) writer, he has given the world over 50 years of creative output.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the attraction of folk music to him. Rock songs "weren't serious enough or didn't reflect life in a realistic way", he explained. Folk music, compared with rock music, was "a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness, more joy, more faith in the supernatural, much deeper feelings".Dylan's music and lyrics(歌词) did speak to a generation of people during the 1960s.His lyrics often spoke about great political causes, such as the civil rights movement or the campaign against the war in Vietnam. The 1960s were a time of change, a time when the young were demanding that their voices be heard.Some people were puzzled that a literary prize had been handed to a singer. But poetry and song have long been found together. Greek poet Homer would have sung The Iliad. In the Middle Ages, wandering minstrels(吟游诗人) performed their poems to music just like Dylan does.Far from just being a fashionable move, giving the prize to Dylan can be seen asbringing back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan's songs have made better - among them poets and novelists and fellow musicians - will surely welcome the award.21. Why could Bob Dylan receive the Nobel Prize for Literature?A. He performed his poems to music.B. He brought back traditional music to life.C. He wrote a large number of poems.D. He developed a poetic way of music expression.22. Which of the following would Bob probably agree with?A. Rock music contains more faith in the supernatural than folk music.B. Folk music and Rock music are both very serious.C. Folk music conveys emotions more strongly than rock music.D. Rock music describes life in a more realistic way than folk music.23. Greek poet Homer is mentioned in the passage to showA. the connection between songs and poemsB. the great influence of Homer's poemsC. the style of poetry in the Middle AgesD. the difference between a poet and a singerBIf you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: "Didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions(排放) per day." The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the important magazine's list, and itsinfluence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.Didi is just one example of what is being called the "sharing economy". Thesharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet's value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.24. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.C. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.25. What does the underlined word "assets" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Houses.B. Services.C. Possessions.D. Cars.26. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the benefits of using Didi.B. To introduce the "sharing economy".C. To advertise a new means of transport.D. To stress the importance of online services.CIt happens all the time: during an airport delay, a Korean perhaps starts talking to a man who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting beside them cannot understand a word.They don't know they are speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-PaulNerriere, considers it a proper langu age. "It is not a language, it is a tool," he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn't want to be that at all. It is a means of communication."The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerriere was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started chatting. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, "Call me Jim," "Call me Bill," no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the strange English spoken by others. They all spoke low-quality English. Except Jim and Bill, everyone was speaking Globish though they didn't know it.The main principles of Globish are a vocabulary of only 1,500 words in English, gestures and repetition(重复). One of the interesting things in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. The target is to reach the point where you will be understood everywhere. The list goes from "able" to "zero." Niece and nephew, for example, are not included, "but you can replace them with the children of my brother," Nerriere says.But a small problem is still waiting for him. The fluent Globish speaker will not be understood by native English speakers. To this question, Nerriere responded confidently, "This is the way to get Americans to learn another language."27. From the first two paragraphs, we can know that——.A. the Korean realizes he is speaking GlobishB. Globish is the working language at airportsC. Nerriere thinks Globish is a communication toolD. the native English speaker is interested in Globish28. Which of the following can explain the reason for inventing Globish?A. The IBM workers in Paris couldn't speak English at all.B. Nerriere needed to keep in touch with the IBM corporation in America.C. Two Americans Jim and Bill wanted to make themselves understood.D. The IBM staff in Paris were from many different countries.29. How can Globish speakers communicate beyond the Globish vocabulary?A. They might use French words instead.B. They might use body language.C. They might create new words.D. They might consult a dictionary from "able" to "zero".30. What is Nerriere's attitude towards the future of Globish?A. Optimistic.B. Cautious.C. Worried.D. Doubtful.第二节(共5个小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
