2020-2021学年山东省青岛市黄岛区高二上学期期末考试英语试卷及答案听力略一、阅读选择A lot of people like movies and films.They can add thrill and imaginations to our lives.Find the latest movie reviews here.MulanThe fearless and spirited eldest daughter of an honored warrior,Mulan is the apple of her father’s eye.To save her aging father from serving in the Imperial Army,clever Mulan disguises(乔装)herself as a man soldier named“Ping”to bravely take her father’s place in the Imperial Army to battle northern invaders in China.Critics Consensus(共识):It could have told its classic story with greater depth,but the live-action Mulan is a visual improvement.Family RomanceLove is a business at Family Romance:a company that offers the rental service.Founder Yuichi Ishii helps fulfill the dreams of his clients.Mahiro’s mother will hire Ishii to play as her missing father.And reality will begin to be unclear.Critics Consensus:It is a fascinating exploration of human connection and follows an unconventional path.GreenlandA family fights for survival as a planet-killing comet(彗星)races to Earth.John Garrity(Gerard Butler),his wife Allison,and young son Nathan make a dangerous journey to their only hope for refuge(避难).Among terrifying news,the Garritys experience the best and worst in humanity while they battle the increasing panic and lawlessness surrounding them.Critics Consensus:Beware,comets of Greenland:Gerard Butler,is here to protect Earth--and show audiences an improbably entertaining time.Black BoxHaving lost his wife and his memory in a tragic car accident,news photographer Nolan Wright is desperate. After losing his wife and memory,Nolan Wright,a single father undergoes an experimental treatment that causes him to question who he really is.Critics Consensus:An interesting work of writer-director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour,Black Box makes up for a lack of surprises with strong performances and an emotionally rewarding story.1．Which movie should have presented a better story according to critics?A．Mulan.B．Family Romance.C．Greenland.D．Black Box.2．Which movie is a science fiction？A．Mulan.B．Family Romance.C．Greenland.D．Black Box.3．In which section of the newspaper can you read this text?A．Advertisement.B．Science.C．Entertainment.D．News Report.When I teach yoga(瑜伽),I usually announce“Phones off and at the back of the room”at the beginning of class.Recently,I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone.She looked displeased but did so.But two days later,in another class,I was met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.“But I’m on call.I might have to jump up and run out of class.”“Then maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be tonight.”That response got me an angry and unfriendly look.But when she came back the next week,there was no phone and she was much more present.Present is what I’m asking my students to be.Present to themselves and their yoga experience.You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call.And neither can anyone around you. Definitely,if one phone is out,many pairs of eyes are drawn to it.And then other phones start to appear.Forget the fact that you’re missing the class you paid for;you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention,or disturbing someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.So please,do yourself and everyone around you,this teacher included,a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat.If you truly are on call,think hard before you come to class.Be present for yourself,wherever you need to be.4．How does the author introduce her topic?A．By giving examples.B．By making comparison.C．By presenting the process.D．By analyzing cause and effect.5．Why was the young woman angry with the author?A．Because she thought she was reasonable.B．Because she was brave enough to say no.C．Because she didn’t like the yoga class at all.D．Because the author was rude to her.6．Which is Not the probable result of using phones in yoga class?A．Hurting yourself.B．Missing the class.C．Disturbing others.D．Getting others’admiration.7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To describe the situation of her yoga class.B．To explain her relationship with students.C．To show her opinion about using mobile phones.D．To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class.A lot of people in England have a very strong obsession(痴迷)with football.You might even say they are fanatics!When I was growing up,everyone would rush out to the playground during the break times, desperate to play a game of football.Whenever there is a big match,all the flags for local football teams are hung outside every window,or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves.There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.Groups of young men crowd into dark,packed bars,peering at tiny television screens in the corners.They shout and scream in frustration when their team loses a goal,or with joy when there is a moment of success.Football has never been something I have been particularly interested in.For years,I have had to feign(装作) excitement,and pick a team or risk ridicule(嘲笑).You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England,as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.Growing up in north London,I quickly learned everyone around me supported Arsenal,and so I blindly did the same,for fear of having the same conversation more than fifty times.You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement.Often,I feel annoyed when everyone around me is full of excitement over two groups of people kicking a ball in a field.However,I understand the culture,and I enjoy the excitement.While I may not ultimately desire to play the sport or take part in supporting the teams,I will nevertheless defend people's obsession with the sport.It is their history and obsession.8．What does the writer intend to tell us by writing paragraph2?A．The crazy act of British young people.B．The ways people watch football match.C．The bar culture in England.D．The obsession with football of people in England.9．Why did the writer choose Arsenal to support?A．Because it’s his favourite.B．Because he knows it well.C．Because he doesn’t want to be bothered.D．Because it’s the team of his hometown.10．Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards British’s obsession with football? A．Critical.B．Objective.C．Doubtful.D．Supportive.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Football:A game for the worldB．My idea about footballC．British:crazy love for footballD．My love for BritainImagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space.You listen to your favorite songs,play loud computer games or watch a movie-all without other people hearing the sound.That is the possibility presented by“sound beaming,”a new technology from Noveto Systems,an Israeli company.On Friday,the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press(AP)a chance to test its Sound Beamer1.0before its debut.The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie.The sound seems so close it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front,above and behind them.Noveto expects the device will have many uses.Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing.People could play a game,a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones,it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.The device uses a3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener.It sends ultrasonic waves(超声波)to create sound pockets by the user’s ears.Sound can be heard in stereo or3-D．The3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener.By changing a setting,the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head.It also is possible to move out of the sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all.While the idea of sound beaming is not new,Noveto was the first to launch the technology.Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.12．What do we know about Sound Beamer?A．It’s a device appearing in the science fiction movie.B．Listeners got its sound through a receiver.C．It can prevent other sound being heard.D．The smaller one will be on market next year.13．What does the underlined word“debut”in paragraph2mean?A．New version.B．First appearance.C．Another failure.D．Some doubt.14．What does the fourth paragraph tell us?A．How the device works.B．How to use the device.C．The device’s advantage.D．Why the device is invented.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The introduction of a new device--sound beamer.B．The usage of3D technology.C．The influence brought by sound beamer.D．3D technology and listening experience.二、七选五If your family or group of friends loves to bike,then a bike trip makes a perfect vacation. 16．Because you move more slowly on a bike,you have a chance to really sink into your environment,observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise.17．If you have unskilled bikers or kids in your group,you’ll probably all be happiest if you keep your mile goals fairly modest.But a group of more experienced bikers can make more serious mile goals.An easy way to travel is to camp along the way.You can book campsites ahead of time at campgrounds along the way,and ride into camp as late as you like.18．Invest in a light-weight tent,and light-weight inflatable pads (充气垫)under your sleeping bag.If you’re going to be traveling on trails(小径),you’ll want to ride a mountain bike during your trip.On the other hand,if your route is wholly along roads,you can ride a lighter-weight street bike.Or,you can put heavier-weight tires on a street bike.19．If you have a lot of time,you can cover quite a bit of distance.Over the course of a long trip,you’ll get stronger and you’ll be able to go further in one day.20．You might want to rest a day or two early in your travels to give your body some rest.A．Biking is becoming more and more popular.B．Avoiding hurt is another thing you should concern.C．Keep in mind that some camping equipment is heavy.D．Check in with your local bike shop for suggestions on tire weight.E.However,remember that early in the trip you’ll start every day feeling tired.F.Seeing the world from the seat of a bike is a wonderful way to experience new places.G.As you plan your trip,the biggest decision to make is how far you’d like to travel each day.三、完形填空Seventh-grade Carson Kropfl is an inventor,business owner and environmental activist.He created a company called Lockerboard.His story is21that necessity is truly the mother of invention.Carson enjoys the excitement of surfing and skateboarding.For years,he liked to use his skateboard to go to 22.But he was23that his school locker was too small to store his board.As a student,he could not change the size of his24,but he realized he could25the shape of his skateboard.And,from that small26,a business was born.Carson first just made a27 skateboard in the shape of a square for himself.Then he made his first28at school’s dining hall,where he put a few skateboards on a table and his schoolmates started buying them up.In less than two years,Carson has sold about700skateboards.But not all the29goes to Carson.

New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.4. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?A. Where she lived.B. How long she lived.C. What she ate.D. How she worked.5. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?A. By her walking style.B. By her heavily built arm bones.C. By her strong lower limbs.D. By her large cross sections.6. When Lucy walked, she may________.A. have walked with bigger stepsB. have walked at a faster speedC. have walked more efficiently than usD. have walked a shorter distance than us7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.C. The safety of Lucy.D. The ancestor of Lucy.C"Long time no see." is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research onGoogle. com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see." Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars compare America to a hugemelting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.You can have some examples from other countries such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American's melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.8. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?A. The Chinglish expression "Long time no see."B. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.C. "Long time no see." is used as a standard American English greeting.D. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.9. What do the underlined words "melting pot" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Confucius's words.B. Culture mixture.C. A kind of cooked dish.D. American changing cultures.10. According to the passage, what can be inferred?A. Detectives translated the phrase "Long time no see."B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.D. Hollywood made "Long time no see." popular.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.B. You'll not be surprised at a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant in America.C. Some American expressions can be used in China.D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.DWhen you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding causedconfusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science Magazine.Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.12. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.B. They are stubborn and not so capable.C. They were necessary in ancient sports.D. They were a sign of high social status.13. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.14. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.C. Lvju was popular among common people.D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.15. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.A. she intended to use them for transport after deathB. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after deathC. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after deathD. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignity第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2019-2020学年青岛胶州市实验中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案
2019-2020学年青岛胶州市实验中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AYou have to praise the smoothness（顺畅）of ants on the move. No matter how many of them are going toward a place, there's never a hold-up. A new research paper shows how ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions.For their experiments, researchers from the University of Toulouse focused on Argentine ants, animals that often move from colony（群落）to colony depending on where the food is. Making use of Argentine ants' talent for fast travel, the researchers built bridges connecting their colonies. The bridges were different in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. The colonies, too, were of different sizes, ranging from 400 to more than 25,000 ants.Then the researchers sat back andmonitoredthe traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were full of ants, there were no "traffic accidents". "When the number of ants on the bridge increased, ants seemed to be able to understand the situation and adjusted（调整）their speed accordingly to avoid making the traffic flow stop. "the authors note. "Moreover, ants avoided entering a busy road and made sure that the bridge was never too packed to cross.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem may lie in our inability to adjust our driving habits for the good of the whole. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road. Then the traffic moves very slowly. And yet, some impatient driver still acts like he's alone on the road.The research suggests that projects, like the ever-widening of highways, may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own habits, no matter how many other people are on the road, we'll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may actually be a good thing. It leaves less room for individual choice and forces us to take a page from the driving book of ants.1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The results of the experiments.B. The purpose of the experimentsC. The preparation of the experiments.D. The requirements of the experiments2. What does the underlined word "monitor" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. watch and check.B. seek and improveC. design and planD. discuss and practise3. What is the best title for the text?A. Is widening highways a solution?B. Why don't ants need traffic lights?C. Can we learn safe driving from ants?D. What can ants teach us about traffic jams?BA maverick describes a person who thinks independently. A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.4. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.5. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.6. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.CTyphoons can be deadly — in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest ever recorded, was responsible for 6,340 deaths—and cost billions in damages. Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance, at most, and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earth’s surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,” said paper author Mingkui Li, associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (QNLM). “We specifically address three aspects: the beginning time, inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量) on another, such as wind speed on sea surface temperature. This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts, butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day weather, according to Li. “We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in advance.”From their study, the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement— conditions that favor typhoon formation—could improve typhoon predictability.“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的) weather-climate predictions.” Shaoqing Zhang, paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, said.8. What is the problem with the present forecast system?A. It cannot foretell storms in advance.B. It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness.C. It costs too much and causes great damages.D. It can hardly predict the intensity of typhoons.9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The variable.B. The climateC. The temperature.D. The influence.10. What is the purpose of the study?A. To advance the prediction system.B. To figure out the three main aspects.C. To know how climate affects daily weather.D. To understand the influence of the variables.11. Where is this text most likely from?A. Awork diary.B. A travel guidebook.C. A science magazine.D. A fantasy fiction.DTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes. However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in times ofturbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931, Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University.

After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined tolend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.12.

Lindsay was appointed as the communications consultant in Shanxi province.D. Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.15.

It is a fact that online shopping has played an important part of Chinese daily life. Below are three popular shopping sites in China: 5
Taobao and T-mall Both of them are the brands of China’s Alibaba group, whose founder is Jack Ma. Taobao is the biggest and the most important shopping site in China. The difference between Taobao and T-mall is that Taobao is mostly about middle, small size companies and individual merchants (商人), while T-mall only allows certified large scale corporation merchants to sell goods on it. Thus the price of goods is commonly lower on Taobao but the quality is not always guaranteed. However, T-mall is the opposite, where the majority of items are a bit more expensive but have guaranteed quality.
Jd.com Jd.com is one of the China’s biggest e-commerce companies and sells various goods, including daily necessities, food, clothes and electronics etc. Meanwhile, Jd.com sells a lot of computer parts, providing installation advice services and installation assistance services, which differ from other retailers (零售商). Also, Jd.com has its self-run delivery group, offering the best and quickest delivery service. In some cities, you can pay after goods have been delivered to your door.
