高二英语测试题 2015.06.29 第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15题，每小题2分，满分30分） 请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、c和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。 A At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?” 21. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because. A. He was new to the class B. He was tired of literature C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home 22. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention. C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school 23. What was Mrs. Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging 24. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The disabled should be treated with respect. B.A teacher can open up a new world to students. C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. B In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）. One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up. When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses. 25. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? A. To save customers times. B. To show they are high quality foods. C. To help sell junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices. 26. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy? A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Displaying British wines next to French ones. C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread. 27. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove? A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider. B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells. C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste. D. A good first impression increases sales. 28. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past. C. To report researches on customer behavior. D. To show dishonest business practices. C

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reac h this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. Theywill quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.1. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.2. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D. A beekeeper.3. The honey guide is special in the way____________。

高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***广东省雷州市客路中学2015--20116学年高二英语第一单元测试题（无答案）姓名：_________ 班级：________ 座位号：___________ 分数：__________ 第一节阅读理解（共10题，每小题2分，满分20分）AMore money, more problems? It might just be true. Americans, compared to 55 years ago, own twice as many cars and eat out twice as much per person, but we don’t seem to be any happier because of it. Rather than rising levels of well-being, we’ve seen increasing credit card debts and numbers of storage facilities to house the things we compulsorily buy.The holidays in particular have become a time when consumer culture comes out in full force. To some extent, most of us participate in consumer culture and value material possessions, and that’s perfectly fine. But too much materialism can harm your well-being, relationships, and quality of life. Those who pursue wealth and material possessions tend to be less satisfied and experience fewer positive emotions each day. On the other hand, research has found that life satisfaction, surprisingly, is correlated wit having less materialism values.Are you highly ambitious and competitive? It could mean you are also more materialistic. Research from the 1990s found materialistic values and a possession-based definition of success share common characteristics with type –A behavior, including competitiveness and aggression. A 2008 study published in the Journal of Pacific Rim Psychology repeated the finding that the desire to accumulate wealth and possessions is related to type –A qualities.Money can’t buy love, and we should also remember that money can’t buy happiness, either. Research has shown that there is no direct correlation between income and happiness. Once our basic needs are met, wealth makes very little difference to one’s overall well-being and happiness. And in fact, extremely wealthy people actually suffer from higher rates of depression. Some data, however, has suggested that there could be a link between higher income and increased lifesatisfaction.People are redefining success beyond money and power. Our collective（共同的）definition of success is slowly starting to change from one of materialism to a more purposeful idea of what it means to live a good life. According to the 2013 Life Twist study, only around one - quarter of Americans still believe that wealth determines success.1. As Americans become richer, they __________.A. get more happinessB. are faced with more chancesC. seem to meet more problemsD. are sure to be faced with more danger2. What should you do in order to become a happy person?A. Pursue as much wealth as possible.B. Try to achieve more success in life.C. Be more competitive and ambitious.D. Avoid attaching too much important to wealth.3. An ambitious person is likely to _________.A. be more healthy than ordinary peopleB. pay more attention to being healthC. be more eager for material possessionsD. be happier and more purposeful in life4. An increased salary may add to one’s _________.A. competitiveness and aggressionB. satisfaction in lifeC. physical sufferingD. love for life5. The passage is mainly about __________.A. the relationship between money and happinessB. the problems that money may bring to one’s lifeC. how to achieve success in one’s lifeD. how to achieve true happinessBYou make decisions, year after year, never lasting for more than a few days ending up lost and in the same place you started. Allow me to suggest some tips that may help you stick to your decisions creating long – lasting positive change in your life.Telling other people about your plan can help in many ways. First, it is always easier to stick to a decision when you have other people supporting you. Your friends are less likely to temp you with whatever it is you are trying to control if they know that you made a decision about it. Telling other people about your decision is also helpful in that it keeps us to the pressure on you to try and stick to you plan of action.Choose a measurable and specific decision. Inste ad of deciding to “look better” or “have a better relationship with so and so”, choose a more definable decision.Deciding to “eat a vegetable every day” or “go out for coffee once a week with John” is much easier to track and assess than a general decisio n to “be a better person”.Build a reward system. Connected to the last tip of choosing a measurable and specific decision is that when you do accomplish this specific behavior you decided to do, give yourself small rewards along the process. For example, for every week of healthy eating treat yourself with something special.Creative visual aids. A colleague of mine decided one year for his New Year’s decision to be more frugal. He decided to try and save money by lowering his monthly bills. So he posted a copy of his highest electric bill by his heater so that every time he wanted to raise the temperature he would see the high electric bill reminding him to be more cautious about his energy consumption.6. Many people’s decisions can’t become reality becau se _________.A. they don’t take them seriously at the beginningB. they make them but can’t stick to them to the endC. they meet much difficulty in the processD. they lack support from their families7. Why does the writer advise telling your plan to other people?A. Because they will offer you support and pressure.B. Because they may reward you along the process.C. Because they will temp you when you want something.D. Because you will need someone to offer some visual aids.8. Which of the following is a specific decision?A. To look better.B. To behave better.C. To be an honest person.D. To go out for dinner with a friend once a week.9. The underlined word “frugal” probably means __________.A. careful with moneyB. careless with moneyC. cautious about safetyD. generous with money10. The colleague posted his highest electric bill by his heater to _________.A. remind himself not to use the heaterB. warn himself not to waste energyC. remember the electric bill foreverD. remind himself that he is short of money第二节.完形填空（15题，每题2分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～15各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Sadly, she went to the holy man and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sadness. We will use it to dr ive the sadness out of your life.” The woman happily went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.She first came to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is it such a place? It i s very important to me.”They told her “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place” and began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them recently.The woman said to herself, “I have had misfortune of my own. Who is able to help these poor, unfortunate people?” She stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sadness. But wherever she went, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so involved in other people’s sorrow that fin ally she forgot about her search for the magical mustard seed, never realizing that it had, in fact, driven the sadness out of her life.40.

A nice surpriseC. The holy man’s faithD. Cure for sadnessCGwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America.During the 1940’s and the 1950’s, Gwendolyn Brooks used her poems to describe conditions among the poor, racial(种族的) inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her materials through looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment in Chicago, Illinois.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skills and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of p oems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and poverty (贫穷).Gwendolyn Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her ne xt work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” attracted little attention when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult lives of many women are popular among female writers today.44. Gwendolyn Brooks became world-famous because .A. she was an expert on the language of poetryB. she introduced black culture by writing poemsC. she fought for black rights by writing poemsD. her poems showed the lives of black women45. Which of the following can we learn from the text?A. Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems focused on black people in Africa.B. Winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature was important to Brooks.C. Gwendolyn Brooks used to suffer a lot from drugs.D. Gwendolyn Brooks was very strict with herself.46. How did Gwendolyn Brooks get ideas for most of her poems?A. By observing life.B. By having talks.C. By reading widely.D. By traveling.47. We can infer that the book “Annie Allen” mainly deals with .A. family lifeB. inequalityC. adventureD. failureDTraditionally poems would be recited and passed from poet to poet through the ages. It is only recently that poetry is something that one reads alone, rather than reciting to an audience. At some point in the education of any student majoring in poetry, one will attempt to memorize a poem, and possibly recite it to someone else.Chances are that you have already memorized thousands of lines of verse in the form of lyrics. How did you memorize the lyrics of songs? You simply listened to songs you liked over and over again until you almost couldn’t help but have them memorized. Memorizing poetry isn’t much different. You start with a poem you like, recite it to yourself over and over again, and you get to know it.One of the best aspects of learning a poem by heart is that you get to take a poem inside of yourself. It becomes a part of you. When you m emorize a poem, it is no longer just a poem, but yours. It’s in your head, and you can call it up from memory as you would in any other experience.Also, memorizing a poem is a great way to truly get to understand languages, and consider every phrase, line, and word. You can practice varying the sounds, adding pauses and emphasis in different spots to try to find the most accurate tone for the poem. In a way, you never really know a poem until you’ve memorized it. Once you know it, you’ll be able to recite it, like a jazz musician improvising(即兴创作) inside a song’s boundaries –adding his own words or re-wording a section to make it his own.48. According to the text, in the past poems were .A. usually written in the form of songs by some musiciansB. mainly circulated among poets by oral communicationC. seldom chosen as teaching materials in most universitiesD. only something that people enjoyed alone by themselves49. Memorizing the lyrics of songs is mentioned in the text to .A. emphasize the importance of repetition in memorizing poemsB. describe the similar characteristics of poems and popular songsC. correct students’ wrong idea that reciting poems is very boringD. encourage students to develop the habit of listening to music50. What can we infer from the text?A. Varying the original sounds can damage the beauty of poetry.B. Readers can change the language of a poem to remember it.C. Many college students choose to major in literature at present.D. Memorizing poems can pave the way for writing poems.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。

Chen received a full scholarship to study psychology, and he later added economics as a second ___42_____.Now in his senior year, Chen has become such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that he's made it his ___43____ to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. "Most Chinese people only know about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton," he says __44____ coffee in a Shanghai café during his winter vacation. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, "there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges," he says.

At the same time, he argues that many employers say liberal-arts graduates perform better over the long term.Over the past couple of years, ___49____ from China to U.S. liberal-arts colleges have risen significantly.

For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked whichdirectors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.73. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for __________.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to give inD. leaving the board in tough times74. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be __________.A. generous investorsB. unbiased executivesC. share price forecastersD. independent advisers75. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director’s surprise departure,the firm is likely to ______________.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits76. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors _____________.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had records of wrongdoings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm(D)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases thelandownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West. 77．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned. B．Some railroad stops remained underused.C．Land in the West was hard to manage. D．Land grants went into private hands.78．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A．The transmission of power. B．The use of money and power. C．The conservation of solar energy. D．The selection of an ideal place. 79．What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A．Cautious B．Approving C．Doubtful D．Disapproving 80．Which is the best title for the passage?A．How the Railways Have Affected the WestB．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been SettledSection C: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.
