But not so many people know the original book that he comes from．In the summer of 1816， a group of young writers were on holiday near Lake Geneva in Switzerland． Unusually for summer in Switzerland， the sky was covered in dark clouds and it was pouring with rain， so the friends had to spend most of the week trapped in their house． To entertain themselves， the most famous of the writers， Lord Byron，decided they should have a competition． Each person had to create a ghost story and whoever wrote the scariest one would win． It was during this competition that Mary Shelley， who was only nineteen years old． had the idea of an ugly monster． Two years later， she published her first novel： Frankenstein．In the film， the monster can't really talk much， but in the book． he has a voice and can explain his side of the story． Although he is scary， ugly and violent， he also has understandable human emotions， and the book explores the reasons for his actions． The monster is abandoned by the scientist who creates him， and all of the human beings he meets are cruel to him without reason． He suggests that he only becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated cruelly and violently by other people．The reason I personally love Frankenstein so much is that it is so open to interpretation （解释）．The problems and issues it talks about are simple and universal． It can be interpreted as a metaphor（隐喻） for family relationships， or for childbirth， or for racism： as a criticism of science or a criticism of religion：whatever you think it is about， it is for you to decide．24．Frankenstein probably tellsA．a love story B．a horror storyC．a detective story D．an adventure story25．Why is Halloween mentioned？A．To explain why the book is famous．B．Because the book is about the holiday．C．Because the film is played on Halloween．D．To show the image of the monster is popular．26．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？A．The features of the novel．B．How Mary Shelley became a writer．C．A competition held by Mary Shelley．D．The creation background of the novel．27．What can readers learn from the monsters story？A．There is none without a fault．B．Actions speak louder than words．C．Think about the effects of our actions．D．Science is usually extremely important．CBEIJING — Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners, and particularly when they get the cha nce to order “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head”.Sometimes excited but mostly confused, embarrassed or even terrified, many foreigners have long complained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes. And their complaints are often valid, but such an experience at Beijing’s restaurants will apparently soon be history.Foreign visitors will no longer, hopefully, be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government’s plan to correctly translate 3,000 Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted.The government office of foreign affairs has published a book to introduce English translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid confusing translations. “It provides the names of ma in dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,” an official with the city’s Foreign Affairs office said. Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it willnot be compulsory. It’s the city’s latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China.Coming up with precise translations is a daunting task, as some Chinese culinary ( 烹饪的)techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English-language equivalent ( 对应词). The translators, after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English-speaking countries,divided the dish names into four categories: ingredients, cooking method, taste and name of a person or a place. For some traditional dishes, pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, is used, such as mapo tofu (previously often literally translated as “bean curd made by woman with freckles”), baozi (steamed stuffed bun) and jiaozi (dumplings) to “reflect the Chinese cuisine culture,” according to the book.“The book is a benefit to tourist guides like me. Having it, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travelers,” said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31- year – old employee with a Beijing-based travel agency.It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China. But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on , China’s most popular micro blogging site.28. “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head” are mentioned in the beginning of the passage to show some Chinese dishes are .A. mistranslated.B. hard to translate.C. not well received.D. not acceptable.29. What measure has the government office taken?A. Introducing a book on Chinese dishesB. Publishing a book on China’s dietary habitsC. Providing the names of main Chinese dishesD. Suggesting using accurate translation for Chinese dishes30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 5?A. disappointingB. discouragingC. inspiringD. amazing31. What’s the attitude of most people to the book according to the passage?A. unconcernedB. negativeC. dividedD. favorableDIf asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit.Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions ( 任务), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff ( 衍生的) technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medicalprocedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By offering analyses.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By presenting research findings.33. The function of Jaws of Life is to .A. save people from traffic accidentsB. do experiments on the space shuttleC. keep houses warm and energy efficientD. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets34. In the author’s opinion, space exploration .A. has changed our life completelyB. costs too much of our timeC. benefits us in many waysD. has nothing to do with us35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of Space ExplorationB. Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost?C. How to Make Space Exploration AffordableD. Missions of the NASA Space Shuttle Program第二节七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given words: for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.As a man who has already stepped into the tomb of love, I always have a feeling that it is my obligation to warn those guys who (21) ________ (not; marry) so far or are about to do that of the danger involved in marriage. Those simple-minded men can easily get (22) ________ “killed”, if they don’t know that comes with marriage.Since I am a quick learner, it didn’t take me long to find out (23) ________ a man needs to do to survive a marriage. Here are the 7 golden principles, which I would like to call “Marriage Survival Tips for Man”. Ready to take notes?No.1: Anything (24) ________ (request) by your wife should be doubtless taken as your priority in your to-do list. Whether it is to mop the floor or babysit your son, do it immediately and do it for life, idiot! Because the more times she has to ask you to do that, the (25) ________ (patient) she will be.No.2: Caution! Do not argue with your wife! (26) ________ reasonable you think you are, you will always end up saying sorry to her Trust me. As a man, the last thing you want to do is to get into an argument with a woman. Women are not supposed (27) ________ (reason) with. They are not designed that way. (Pardon me for being such a male chauvinist (直男炎). Deep down, I totally support feminism.) So unless you want to start a full-scale war you can never win, otherwise apologize to her the moment you two make eye contact.No.3: Always give positive feedbacks (28) ________ ________ any questions raised by her. For example, if she wants to buy a pair of high-heels or a fancy coat, say yes! Of course, always saying yes will cost you a fortune but at least it can save your life! And (29) ________ ________ ________ you are alive, money does grow on trees! But when the questions are related to her weight, stay with a simple life-saving rule: for God’s sake, she is not even a little bit fat!

Do note that there is one word more than you need.What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to (31) ________ this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a (32) ________ argument for reading. The full quotation goes: “At school you are (33) ________ not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you (34) ________ the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the (35) ________ of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering (36) ________ into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be (37) ________ in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story (38) ________ Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.So the purpose of reading is not to memorize (39) ________ everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no (40) ________ opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.(B)You are my Solskjaer,My Ole SolskjaerYou make me happy when skies are grey.You’ll never know dear.How much I love you.Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.You are my SolskjaerMy only SolskjaerYou make my happy when skies are greyCoz when it’s pouring you just keep scoringPlease don’t take our Solskjaer awayThe above song is (41) ________ from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid (42) ________ to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (43) ________ called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect (44) ________ of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his (45) ________ knee injury.On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic ad were a real (46) ________ to me when I was out injuried. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have (47) ________ United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”Ole’s many career (48) ________ include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best (49) ________ his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and (50) ________ himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.Ⅳ. Cloze (15)Directions:For each blank in the following passage 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.It did take me quite a while to start noticing Dr. Yuval Noah Harari’s well-received book: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (人类简史). I bought the book after I heard Dou Wentao (a renowned TV hose) mention it on his podcast, and to be frank, I read the first chapter with little (51) ________. But it turned out to be the best book I read in 2017.While I was immediately (52) ________ the book kept evolving as I read it. The book began with a brief introduction of the lives and activities of the earliest proto-humans (原始人)---Neanderthals (尼安德特人), Homoerectus (直立人) and early Homo Sapiens (智人)---and then (53) ________ an examination of why it was theHomo sapiens, after hundreds of thousands of years of surviving but pretty much existing in the middle of the food chain, (54) ________ rocketed to the top of it without ant significant genetic changes, conquered multiple climates, and eventually domesticated the world around them from farm animals to crops. And Harari includes an interesting but fairly (55) ________ argument about the true nature of our relationship to our most necessary crop---wheat.Think for a moment about the (56) ________ Revolution from the viewpoint of wheat. Ten thousand years ago wheat was just a wild grass, one of many, confined to a small range in the Middle East. All of a sudden, within just a few short millennia, it was growing everywhere.So how did this grass turn from insignificant to ubiquitous (到处存在的)? Wheat did it by manipulating (操纵) Homo sapiens to its advantage. This ape had been living a fairly comfortable life (57) ________ and gathering until about 10,000 years ago, but then began to (58) ________ more and more effort in cultivating wheat. Then, humans in many parts of the world were doing little from dawn to dusk (59) ________ taking care of wheat plants.However, the body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for cultivating wheat. Therefore human spines, knees, necks and arches paid the price. Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle (60) ________ next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life. We did not (61) ________ wheat. It’s the other way around. One of the most important and sustained ideas running through the book is that what ultimately (62) ________ Homo sapiens from all other creatures---other mammals, other apes, and even other “humans”like Neanderthals---was not our opposable thumbs or some other (63) ________ standards, but instead it was our ability to generate (生成), believe in and act upon what Yuval Noah Narari calls “myths” or “(64) ________” (essentially ideas and cultural institutions), particularly on a large scale and collective basis, which eventually transformed us from creatures that lived in small, loosely-organized groups (the typical feature of most apes) to our modern status.Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a fascinating ambitious and difficult-to-summarize book that is also just highly (65) ________. So as senior high school students, you won’t experience too much difficulty following the author’s train of thoughts. And I strongly recommend you to indulge (纵情于) yourself in this well-written book.Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’s mind-blowing book:Sapiens: A brief history of Humankind51. A. attention B. evaluation C. illustration D. expectation52. A. fascinated B. confused C. distracted D. uninterested53. A. turned to B. gave away C. prepared for D. went after54.

A. intellectual B. physical C. psychological D. moral64. A. poems B. reports C. documents D. fictions65. A. complex B. overrated C. readable D. appreciatedⅤ. Reading comprehension (32)Section A (24)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.(A)Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Wechat, but I have to admit that it is exactly co rrect for me. Here’s how it works.Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.●Longer ring finger: The Sweet TalkerIf your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.●Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident OneIf your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even tothe point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.●Index and ring finger are of the same length: The PeacemakerIf your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!66. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?67. We can learn from the passage that the author ________.A. is very charming and helpfulB. always tries hard to avoid a fightC. often takes silly tests on FacebookD. thinks the descriptions suit him well68. What does the passage intend to tell us?A. How accurate the description of the test is.B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.D. Personality is determined by your finger length.69. Where can you probably find the text?A. A popular magazine.B. An official report.C. A public advertisement.D. A biology textbook.(B)In a time when too much emphasis has been attached to utilitarianism (功力主义), it doesn’t come as a surprise to me that we people no longer believe in poetry. Utility is now often the standard of what one should devote his or her time and energy to and what he or she shouldn’t, but don’t get me wrong. I am not saying or stating that one should not consider utility at all when making crucial decisions. On the contrary, everyone should take it into account. Medicine, law, business and engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance and love, these are what we stay alive for.My dad once told me that “life is suffering,”, which now I think is probably a unanimous (无异议的) opinion among most people. With a tough life inevitably comes a tough language---and that is what poetry is and why poetry is needed. It offers people a way to talk about the difficult-to-describe things in life, like death, suffering, profound joy and transformation. So whenever I hear someone say that poetry is not a must, or it’s an option, or it’s only for the educated middle classed, I suspect that he or she must have had things pretty easy.But how can people live without poetry when poetry is nothing but a ceaseless flow of genuine human emotions? /unlike what the academics may tell you, my suggestion about bring poetry into your lives is that don’t analyze it and don’t ask others to analyze it. Don’t deconstruct it or try to make meaning of it. Just find the poems that wake you up, that make you feel as if you’ve submerged (沉浸) yourself in a mineral hot spring or an ice bath. Find the poems that make you feel almost irrational joy or sadness. Find the poems that make you want to roll around in them or paint their colors all over your bedroom ceiling. Those are the poems you want to play with. Find the poems that communicate with the deepest parts your being and welcome them in.If finding others’ poems no longer satisfies you, compose your own! You don’t have yo be a poet to compose poetry. After all, poetry is not a luxury only for members desire or genuine willingness to vent feelings. It’s about searching for the real meaning of life and also about giving meaning to life. Just like Walt Whitman’s “O Me! O Life!”, a poem that ends by speaking directly to its readers: “the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse,” poetry is about everyone. And now I want to ask you the mother of all inspirational questions; “What will your verse be?”Inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s book:Why Be Happy When You Could be normal?70. The author thinks that poetry is very important for human beings because it ________.A. has nothing to do with the shared belief in utilityB. symbolizes a status as an educated middle classC. offers a medium for describing hard experiencesD. reveals a fundamental truth that life isn’t all roses71. To appreciate poetry by academic standards, one should first ________.A. deconstruct and making meaning of itB. enjoy a mineral hot spring or an ice bathC. paint it over his or her bedroom ceilingD. get consumed by irrational joy or sadness72. The author quoted Walt Whitman’s poem “O Me! O Life!” to emphasize that ________.A. only a true poet can write poemsB. no poem can appeal to everyoneC. life feels just like a powerful playD. every human is entitled to poetry73. The best title for the text may be ________.A. Composing PoetryB. Poetry for LifeC. The Art of poetryD. Analyzing poetry(C)A scene from China’s biggest soap opera last year, Ode to Joy Season 2, has triggered much discussion on whether virginity is still a prized asset for women in “modern” China. In the scene, Qiu Yingying, a young but naive character, holds a dinner party to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, but the evening turns dramatic after her neighbour accidentally exposes her past relationship. Her boyfriend, Ying Qin, storms off, furious, expressing his thought that having sex before marriage is a moral spot for a woman.However controversial the show is, it does reveal a universal phenomenon that sex education in China is often relatively backward and of minor significance. Parents very rarely share information about sex with children. What almost all parents do, however, is to warn their children, especially daughters not to have any dates before they graduate from university, fearing that they get hurt or become pregnant. There are stories of biology teachers skipping details of the reproductive system in class and ask students to learn it by themselves. Chinese communities also traditionally expect virginity before marriage.Ren Yi, a student from East China Normal University, said it was perfectly reasonable for a boyfriend who was a virgin himself to require his girlfriend to be so. The only problem, she said, was if it was a double standard and the man expected virginity from a woman but not himself.The issue was also being discussed by her university classmates in WeChat. Someone questioned why there wasn’t gender equality when it came to virginity, but another said she couldn’t accept Ying Qin’s comment on women who had sex before marriage.While some still concentrate on virginity itself, others have shifted the focus of this debate.Zhu Pingping, a Shanghai-based English teacher, commented that even debating the topic was old-fashioned in the 21st Century. She thought it was “disgusting” for the show to make an issue of it in modern cities, women are more independent and liberated, she said.Her husband, Shen Peng, also a teacher, added that not everyone will and can advance with the times as he or she ages and some even want to restore the so-called traditional Chinese virtues of being a woman (女德), which from his perspective has long been used as a means to oppress women both physically and mentally throughout the history.“Teaching students knowledge about sex doesn’t mean we encourage them to eat the forbidden fruit. Actually, it is just the opposite, because only when sex---like other aspects of lives---is dealt with frankly and appropriately in the educational process can the healthy growth of children raised in it be truly encouraged,” he said.74. Which one of the following might be Wrong according to the first two paragraphs?A. The TV series Ode to Joy Season 2 has brought female virginity to attention.B. Qiu Yingying’s relationship has been buried with her previous romance revealed.C. Parents and teachers tend to avoid answering questions about sex from children.D. Sex education in China has weighed strongly in the current educational system.75. It can be learned from the three interviewees’ opinions that ________.A. a double standard encouraged in attitudes towards virginity is allowedB. the topic on virginity is still worth public discussion in the present dayC. keeping pace with the times is not necessarily a natural outcome of ageD. teaching students sex is likely to lead them to have sex at an early age76. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Measures to advocate sex educationB. Historical evidence of female oppressionC. Professional comments on the showD. Examples to illustrate the virginity issue77. The author’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. introduce a popular TV dramaB. explain a universal phenomenonC. criticize the current educationD. arouse people’s food for thoughtSection B (8)Directions:In the article, 4 sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable ones from the list A-AC to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There are TWO which do not fit in any of the gaps.(D)The Museum of InnocenceLove and Madness in IstanbulIt’ s all an elaborate (详尽的) and precisely constructed lie: a museum built to tell the story of a self-referential book created around the contents of the soon-to-finish museum. A tale of love and loss, but mainly madness, which is entirely fictional but in which the very real author plays a central narrative role. It is the Museum of Innocence.The story focuses on the character of Kemal (凯末尔) and his love for a beautiful shop girl and distant cousin Fusun (芙颂). Kemal’s story is one of lust, obsession and eventual ruin. Were the character real. I expect that most of us would distance ourselves from him in the same way that Istanbul’s high society do in the novel. (78) ________. And this is especially the case when one reads through Kemal’s story of madness and presents himself or herself in the collection of objects that represent Kemal’s love and loss.The museum follows the narrative of the book precisely presenting 83 displays that each reflects one of the book’s 83 chapters to accompany the storyline (79) ________. In this case, as in many, the items that we accumulate in our lives are the reminders to help us recall those memories.(80) ________. Mounted on the ground floor is a display of 4,213 cigarette stubs, each noted with a time or date or comments speaking to the very moment it touched her hands, her lips, and so became a part of her story.Though it’s hard to match the visual appeal of that first display, representing chapter 68 of the book, thecombination of sights and sounds throughout the three-story museum evokes (换起) the story in a way that reading alone couldn’t hope to do. (81) ________. You could surely visit the museum without having read the book or give it a read with no intention to visit the museum but, frankly, you shouldn’t pick up a copy a month or two before a trip to Istanbul, and give yourself the pleasure of experiencing the story twice in different forms.If, like Kemal, you find yourself longing for some tangible physical reminder of the experience? Not to worry, there’s a well-stocked gift shop full of small souvenirs and Orhan Pamuk’s other works.Ⅵ. Translation (18分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.82. 您什么时间方面来取一下您的体检报告? (convenient)83. 一个合格的大学生应当有着良好的英语运用能力。

AMany years ago, when I was in high school I lost my wallet.My old car required to be fueled. I had prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠), and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to miss it when my phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my purse and to my horror, I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it, and I told him. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his wheelchair van and the ramp(斜坡) going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the ground. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just amazed.I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him for finding my wallet. I was stuck, th ough. While I didn’t want to hurt him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said, “Just pass it on.”It was about 10 years later that I found one. I almost stepped on it when I was shopping at a supermarket! It took my several days to track down the young man to whom the wallet belonged. He was actually surprised his money was still in the wallet and he tried to hand me a $20. I told him, “Thanks, but just pass it on.”1．Where did the author most probably lose his wallet?A．Near a wheelchair ramp. B．At his school.C．At a supermarket. D．At a gas station.2. When the man called, the author ____________.A. hadn’t realized he had lost h is wallet.B. was looking for his wallet anxiously.C. was worried about the money in his wallet.D. was afraid that it would be hard to get his wallet back.3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．The man was disabled. B．The man failed to pick up the wallet. C．The author regretted what he had done D．The author witnessed the difficulty the man met.4．Why did the author get stuck?A．The man didn’t invite him to take a seat.B．He was wondering how to express his thanks.C．He didn’t know how to repay the man’s kindness.D．He hesitated over how much money he should give the man.BI first began experiencing anxiety and depression when I was a 14-year-old boy after being bullied(欺凌) at school for years. While at first it would come and go, anxiety and depression eventually became a constant presence in my life. It was like a lasting cough that eventually starts to get better, only to come back worse than before. Only unlike a cough, where usually I am still able to function, anxiety and depression hits like a ton of bricks and even the idea of getting out of bed seems to be a goal that gets to be less and less achievable.I tried everything: special teas, yoga, vitamins and anything read about in books and advicegi ven by doctors, but in vain. I started to believe that I’d have to live the rest of my life with this dark cloud. Until one day, I fell upon an article that talked about how dogs were able to help people with their mental health. So I decided to get a dog.When I brought Buddy home, I didn’t realize how much he would change my life. I woke up one morning and felt those familiar feelings again: the weight on my shoulders and the feelings of hopelessness. I knew that the anxiety and depression had come back hard. I didn’t want to get outof bed. That’s when I came face to face with Buddy.Buddy started jumping over me, kissing my face. It was as if he was saying, “It’s no time to be sad. The world is rather frightening!” And for the first time in my life, o n a day when my anxiety and depression was present full force, I got out of bed. I put on my coat and went for a walk in the snow with my new best friend. This was my new beginning.I finally realized the answer to my long question of how to manage anxiety and depression- exercise, laughter and love – all things that were impossible for me before, were achieved by getting a dog.5．How does a cough differ from anxiety and depression according to the author?A．A cough is hard to cure.B．Anxiety and depression often occurs at night.C．A cough can’t stop him functioning.D．Anxiety and depression can easily got rid of.6. How did the author have the idea of raising a dog?A. He read it in an article.B. A doctor instructed him.C. He got if from dog lovers.D. A friend offered him the suggestion.7. What does the author mainly tell us?A. The benefits of raising a dog.B. How he took care of his dog.C. The harmful effect of anxiety and depression.D. How he fought against anxiety and depression.CBy mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technological lives. What will our cities be like? How will we eat? Will global warning cause damaging changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate crisis(危机)?Changes in where people live will certainly be great. Rockefeller University mathematical biologist Joel Cohen says it’s likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in the city, and will have a much higher average age than people today.And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. At the same time, theInternet will continue to greatly change media, destroying the traditional model of what a news organization is.And we’ll live longer and remain healthier. Patricia Bloom, a professor in Mt. Sinai Hospital, says people may not all live to be 120, but is possible that we’ll be able to help people enjoy good health as they age. AIDS research pioneer David Ho says HIV/AIDS will still be with us, but we’ll know a lot more about the virus than we do today and treatments will be much more effective. At the same time, Jay Parkinson, the founder of Hello Health says the health care industry has a huge opportunity to change the way it communicates with patients by imagining individual health in relation to happiness.In terms of how we’ll eat, green markets founder Nina Planck is optimistic that there will be more local food operations and we’ll be healthi er as a result. He thinks people will eat fewer processed foods, and eat foods grown closer to where they live. Besides, more people will grow and preserve land-raised farm systems.8．How does the author introduce the topic?A．By listing numbers.B．By asking questions.C．By predicting changes.D．By showing background9．According to the text, which of the following will happen by 2050?A．Fewer people will live in urban areas.B．The Internet will no longer affect media.C．People will generally live for over 120 years.D．People will have a better knowledge of HIV virus.10．In Nina Planck’s opinion, what will people do in the middle of this century?A．They’ll stay away from processed foods.B．They’ll grow food by themselves.C．They’ll eat locally p roduced foods.D．They’ll eat more highly processed foods.11. What can be the best title for the text?A．What will life be like in 2050?B．Technological advances in 2050C．Great changes to happen in 2050D．How will the society develop in 2050?DVal entine’s Day is one of those rare holidays that are enjoyed by almost everyone in the world. But how did it begin? While there are many legends(传说), the most popular one dates back to 270 AD. According to the legend, Emperor Claudius II, the ruler of the Roman Empire did not allow young men to get married before heading to war. He believed that single men made better soldiers because they were more focused.But a Roman clergyman(牧师) named Valentine did not agree and helped many couples get married secretly. When the Emperor found out, he sentenced him to death. While in prison, Valentine fell in love with a girl and just before he was executed on February14, he sent her a note signed-‘From Your Valentine’. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius set aside the day to honor S t. Valentine and a fun tradition was born!The Pope, of course, was not the one who changed it into a commercial(商业的) holiday. That credit goes to Richard Cadbury, a member of the famous British chocolate company, and Massachusetts business-woman Esther Howland. The former came up with the brilliant idea of selling bite-sized chocolates packaged in heart-shaped boxes.Candies and cards remain the biggest Valentine’s Day gifts till this day. Americans spend over $1 billion on chocolate. Also popular, are sweethearts. According to the manufacturers plenty of the 8 billion candy conversation hearts made annually are sold between January 1 and February 14.With over 145 million cards exchanged in the US and over a billion worldwide, Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest moneymakers for greeting card companies. It is second only to Christmas when 2.6 billion cards are sold. Flowers are also very popular. About 51% of people, primarily men buy red roses for their loved ones.12．Why didn’t Emperor Claudius II let young men get married before heading to war?A．He liked single men more than married men. B．He thought single men were easily distracted.C．He thought single men could become better soldiers. D．He thought single men were braver than married ones.13. What does the underlined word “executed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Praised.B. Killed.C. Beaten.D. Admired.14．What can we know from the text?A．The re are more cards sold on Christmas than on Valentine’s Day.B．The Pope changed the holiday into a commercial one.C．Valentine was killed because he got married secretly.D．Most of the greeting cards are bought for parents.15．What is the main idea of the text?A．How to choose Valentine gifts.B．The most popular gifts on Valentine’s Da y.C．How to make money on festivals.D．The brief history of Valentine’s Day第二节(共5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。

2018-2019学年度高二英语上学期期中考试试卷分析
2018-2019学年度高二英语上学期期中考试试卷分析文昌市田家炳中学吴花颜一、试卷评价及有关数据1.内容：必修52．得分情况：（总分15０分）最高分高二3班的何海川102.5分，云子祺91分，高二1班李林健76分，整体情况有所进步。
3.试卷的总体评价:本次命题在考察学生英语基础知识的前提下，注重了对学生语言综合能力和知识迁移的考察,注重语言环境及文化背景的设置，减少了词汇、语法等单纯知识性的试题，增加了试题的灵活性、开放性、探究性及综合性。
试题以读、写的形式，全面地检查了学生应掌握的英语基础知识和基本能力。
不足之处:作文属于半开放作文，学生练得比较少。
写起来感到无所适从。
二、各大题答题情况分析1.听力测试（30分）本试卷听力题目的设计在难度上对高二学生而言还行。
因为我们一直在坚持听力训练，所以这部分的得分还不错。
不过，个别题目也反映出学生的变通能力不是很强。
学生听力训练还有待进一步加强。
并且这部分也反映出学生不认真的一大弊病。
如每个班都有几名同学选D,而听力的答案只有A、B、Ｃ。
2.单项选择题，是考查学生的语法基础知识题，此次命题，考察了学生词的辨析、语法、习语等语言知识，以及在特定的语境中运用语言知识进行交际的能力。
此题知识覆盖面较广,重难点比较突出，注重了语言能力考察,以考察动词为主,兼顾其它词类,并考察句法,考察方式突出了语境。
学生在12、15、16、19、这4个小题失分较多，反映出学生对基础知识的把握有所欠缺。
考查学生对非谓语动词的掌握，教师在课堂中多次重点讲解过，学生还是没能很好地掌握。
以后在语法的教学过程中要加强。
3.完型填空题，主要考察学生对文章的整体理解及上下文的推理能力，牵涉到语感、语法及单词,以及对语言知识的综合运用能力,对学生提出了更高的要求。
学生答这道题时,不仅要读懂整个语段,而且要选对所给的词,并对上下文进行融会贯通,学生在答此题时顾此失彼,失分较多,此题是整份试题难点之一。

AIn 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away.We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska. 1．What can be inferred about the author's family?A．His father was a cruel man.

Casa Mamoré 93CWhy elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades. A study was led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute(HCI)at the University of Utah and Arizona State University, including researchers from the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation may have found the answer. According to the results, elephants have 38 additional modified copies of a gene(基因)that encodes p53, a well-defined tumor(肿瘤)suppressor, as compared to humans, who have only two. Further, elephants may have a more powerful mechanism for killing damaged cells that are at risk for becoming cancerous. In isolated elephant cells, this activity is doubled compared to healthy human cells, and five times that of cells from patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, who have only one working copy of p53 and more than a 90 percent lifetime cancer risk in children and adults. The results suggest extra p53 could explain elephants’increased resistance to cancer.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer. It’s up to us to learn how different animals overcome the problem so we can adapt those strategies to prev ent cancer in people, ”says co-senior author Joshua Schiffman, M. D. , pediatric oncologist(肿瘤学家)at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah School of Medicine, and Primary Children’s Hospital.According to Schiffman, elephants have long been considered a walking problem. Because they have 100 times as many cells as people, they should be 100 times more likely to have a cell slip into a cancerous state and cause the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years. And yet it’s believed that el ephants get cancer less often, a theory confirmed in this study. Analysis of a large database of elephant deathsestimates a cancer death rate of less than 5 percent compared to 11 to 25 percent in people.9. Why do humans often get cancer compared to elephants according to the passage?A. Elephants are bigger than humans.B. Elephants have more p53 than humans.C. Elephants are not as clever as humans.D. Elephants eat more than humans.10. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Some damaged cells may be dangerous.B. Some damaged cells are not dangerous.C. Some damaged cells can’t be cancerous.D. Some damaged cells in elephants’bodies are more dangerous than those in humans’bodies.11. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Elephants have more cells than people.B. Elephants can get cancer easily.C. Elephants seldom die from cancer.D. Elephants often die from cancer.12. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Elephants help usB. Learn from NatureC. How to deal with cancerD. Nature helps us prevent cancerDAutumn blues? Let the sunshine inFalling leaves, flowers, and cold winds, for many people late autumn can be a season of depression.Those who suffer from “the autumn blue” are often extremely tired, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight. "The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is not known yet," says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. "But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability(得到) of sunlight."One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter. Exposure to light may reset the biological clock. Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves, called neurotransmitters (for example, serotonin), may be changed in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances. "It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy. Remember, spring always lives in your heart," Chen says. “Going outdoors to get some sunlight may reduce the tension that brings you the low spirits. Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation. Color treatment also works in handling low mood. Music also plays a role in treating autumn blues.”13. From the third paragraph we know that there ____ that can help to deal with autumn blues.A. is no biological clockB. is a real exampleC. are certain waysD. is no possibility14. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. People feel tired in autumn.B. Autumn blues can be feelings of happinessC. Weather doesn’t change people.D. The real cause for autumn blues is still unknown.15. Which of the following CAN’T you do in order to deal with autumn blues?A. Take outdoor activities or sports.B. Eat more food very low in calories and sugar.C. Keep the balance of nerves that transmit information.D. Reset the biological clock regulating mood, sleep and hormones.第二节（共5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。
