高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共11小题，共22.0分）AHow to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children's literature．A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless，the hero's hunting dragon，thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime．However，if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version，you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children．Let's look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion．The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max，who sails away to an island．Creatures living there declare Max their king．What an amazing piece of children's literature!A treasure for every child's library．Yet，children were crying in the movie theatre．Owls were falling from the sky，chicken's arms were being torn off，and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human．It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content．Hollywood might be right．But more and more its audience are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children's stories today than in the past．While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children，books and literature are generally an exception．I truly believe that children's literature has become more vivid，and more colorful．This is a great treasure for the children，and is certainly not violent．What has changed the children's stories of today is not the writers，but the film industry．In some way，children's literature is just being strangely twisted（扭曲）．I wonder how much influence the authors have over this．1.The text is mainly about ______ ．A. two good books for childrenB. how a book is adapted into a filmC. whether children should go to the moviesD. whether children's movie is getting more violent2.It can be inferred that the film Where the Wild Things Are is ______ ．A. movingB. frighteningC. interestingD. amazing3.According to the text，the author thinks that ______ ．A. the film industry's treatment of children's literature is wrongB. writers should provide more colorful works for childrenC. there is an increase in violence in children's literatureD. children should read books rather than see films．BToday，Mount Qomolangma's peak is not a lonely place any more．More than 3，500people have successfully climbed the 8，844m mountain，and more than a tenth of that number reached the peak just over the past year．As more and more people try to test themselves against Qomolangma，many a time the mount can be very crowded．Climbers have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks（狭窄路段）on the way to the peak．If bad weather strikes，climbers can and do die．But the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Qomolangma．All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear-much of them ends up being left on the mountain，sometimes even the peak itself．Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's tallest rubbish dump．Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma："The two standard routes，the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge，are not only dangerously crowded but also badly polluted．"But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma．Mountaineer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition，which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008．So far they've collected over 13tons of garbage．Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose．As part of the Mount Everest 8844Art Project，a group of 15artists from Nepal collected 1.5tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers．They've changed the cans and oxygen tanks-in one case，part of the remains of a helicopter-into 74pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital．Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association，which has helped collect tons of rubbish off the mountain．4.What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma's peak？______A. They are relatively safe．B. They are often crowded．C. They are very easy to pass．D. They are sites of base camps．5.What does the underlined word"gear"mean？______A.

Test Yourself Against QomolangmaB. Qomolangma has Become a Huge MessC. Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulD. How to Climb Qomolangma．CFor every woman who feels like she's had to scale back her personal ambitions since becoming a mother，gold medal cyclist Kristin Armstrong has a message：Don't give up on your dreams．She retired after winning gold in Beijing to start a family；son Lucas arrived in 2010，but then she decided to compete again in the London Olympics．She won a gold medal at last．The decision to start training again wasn't easy．"I struggled with that a lot，"she told a newspaper．"At the beginning I felt selfish，I felt like，‘Well，I'm not supposed to be thinking of myself anymore．It's all supposed to be for my kid．'"She faced physical challenges of getting back into competition shape after giving birth，aswell．When she started racing in the spring of 2011，she was still breast-feeding；she would nurse her son，then race，then breast-feed again after the race．Her days revolved around Lucas and training．"I feel like I'm able to do what I love to do and still manage a family and have that balance，"Armstrong said．"That you have a family or a child doesn't mean that you have to stop going after what you dream of individually．"Armstrong makes balance look easy，whether it's on her bike or as an athlete-mom．But she points out that you can't have it all without making some sacrifices．For example，don't expect a neat home-her husband，Joe Savola，who she describes as her support system and her"protector"，says he's had to give up on trying to keep everything orderly at home and just accept that their living room has become Lucas's playroom．For Armstrong，she's sacrificed time with friends who had kids around the same age-there just wasn't time．Now，she says，"That sounds like fun to me．"As she heads home to Boise，Idaho，she's ready to do regular mom stuff．8.After Kristin Armstrong retired，she ______ ．A. lived an easy lifeB. moved to a new houseC. still had a great interest in cyclingD. spent much time with her kid9.It was difficult for Armstrong to make the decision to participate in the London Olympicsbecause she ______ ．A. was too old to train racingB. had to give her family much considerationC. faced big physical challengesD. could not get support from her family10.In most days of 2011，Armstrong could be described as ______ ．A. a housewife and a new momB. an athlete and a career womanC. a parent and a sportswomanD. a wife and a good mother11.We can know from the passage that it ______ for Armstrong to keep a balance betweenher family and dream．A. was quite easyB. made her feel tiredC. surprised herselfD. was a hard job．二、阅读七选五（本大题共9小题，共18.0分）Our magazine is presenting to you the top four iPhone （the best seller of Apple Company）applications for more fun on hiking or camping trips recommended by our A-list field hikers and travelers．A.

to"recommend"something that you bought and that you really like与it's not OK to pressure them into buying something or totry to make money from your friends之间是转折关系，故用but连接．10．Turning 考查非谓语动词．根据句子成分分析可知，is前面部分是句子的主语，非谓语动词作主语一般用v-ing表示，故填turning．本文是一篇说明文．一项调查研究表明，60%的人的网上购物会受朋友社交媒体推广的影响．因此，有人就利用微信的朋友圈功能，将朋友转化成顾客，非法赢取利润．作者以做解释的方式告诫我们，强迫朋友买东西或者想法设法从朋友那里赚钱，会让我们失去朋友．1．形容词副词的用法比较：形容词：作定语，修饰名词或代词；作表语，位于系动词之后，说明主语的状态、特征等．。

Claus did not exist has been fired.When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa，the supply teacher said out suddenly，“It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.”The class of sevenyearolds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School，Royton，Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher，who only worked at the school for one day last week，has been disciplined.The school has now said it will not hire her again.One father said，“My son came home and said that histeacher had told the class that Santa doesn't exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them.Obviously，they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy.She just came straight out with it.”“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas.I thought it was wrong.He was crazy about it.He's only seven years old and it's part of the magic of Christm as to him.”“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now.”“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent(恶意地).A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school.The teacher，who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency，is

out presents oncea year.44.What's the meaning of the underlined word“rowdy”?A.Surprised.B.Noisy.C.Discouraged.D.Annoyed.BPicking tomatoesFor as long as I can remember，Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September，just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days，Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same，her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I，however，just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato，head in its direction，and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way，which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.There we are，lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing，and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden，she evaluates the tomato for a secondtime，but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However，Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side，kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face，and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round，red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a halfhearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection.I know I smile，instead，at her.45.Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?A.He can help pick more tomatoes.B.He can learn the hardship of labor.C.She enjoys staying with him while working.D.She tries to share the happiness of harvest with him.46.The second paragraph shows that the author ________.A.is an inefficient tomato pickerB.really has youthful eyes and quick mindC.has spent a lot of time gardening with GrandmaD.is a naughty child trying to be out of Grandma's sight47.In the last paragraph，the author smiles to Grandma because he ________.A.realized her true intentionsB.felt very happy to pick potatoes for herC.confirmed that her choice of tomato is greatD.appreciated her skill in finding ripe tomatoes48.What can we infer from the story?A. The grandchild will become more skillful at gardeningthan Grandma.B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C.The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.D.Grandma's need for the grandchild's company will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes，the most popular girl，in school，stopped me.“Are you the twin who won the art competition?”she asked.“No，that's Christine.I'm Katie.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine，I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers，spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym，I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine，here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high，she leapt for it，it slipped through her fingers andcrashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone，I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the“thumbs up”ura Jamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes，that's me，”I answered，grining(露齿笑)as I walked to class.49.The authur uses“Snow White”and“Cinderella's stepsisters”to showA.how dissimilar the twins were in appearaneeB.why Christine could win the art competitionC.who was the most popular girl at schoolD.what the twins characters were like50.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Christine was unpleasant to her sister.B.Katie showed a lot

message of the story?A.Bad situations help become popular.B.People are talented in different ways.C.People should always be nice to others.D.Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you're with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.53.According to the author，what makes a house a home?A.All the belongings in the house.B.Feelings of warmth and comfort.C.The houses and circumstances.D.Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.54.About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that ________.A.it was the description of Edwards' housesB.it is mainly about housesC.it helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeD.it was written by the author of the text55.What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A.His house was too old to live in.B.He missed the feeling of home.C.He hated living there.D.He missed his old friends too much.E篇章结构Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2 000 years ago.The Romans' ideas about roads，laws，government and buildings still

It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’ re sin gle-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita-whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life-and he r fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.4. What does the underlined word “sanitize” mean?A．Clean. B．Burn. C．Color. D．Dry.5. What do we know about the Chip Bag Project?A．It helps to shake off poverty.B．It has gathered over 900,000 bags.C．It was put forward by chip lovers.D．It helps the poor and environment.6. Why do chip eaters leave empty bags at given locations?A．Because they are forbidden to litter them.B．Because they happen to print things there.C．Because they want to help Eradajere Oleita.D．Because they can use them to trade clothes.7. Which is the best title for the passage?A．Chipping Away at Poverty B．Chip Eaters Do a Big FavorC．A Story about Eradajere Oleita D．Good Ways to Save EnvironmentIn spite of the title, How to Grow Old, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal (母亲方面的) grandfather, it is true, died in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remote ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off.My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, as soon as she became a widow, devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was the co-founders of Girton College. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his sorrow and he said that he had just parted fro m his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a miserable existence!” “Madre snaturale (奇怪的母亲),” he replied.But as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical (统计学的) fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable shortness of your future.8. What do we know about author’s maternal grandmother?A．She was a strange and cruel mother.B．She set up Girton College with others.C．Her husband died when he was young.D．She had 72 children and grandchildren.9. Why did the grandmother asked the gentleman?A．Because she wanted to teach him a lesson.B．Because she preferred cooking and talking.C．Because she wanted show off her freedom.D．Because she wondered why he was so sad.10. What is the proper way to remain young according to the author?A．To maintain wide interests and active participation.B．To remember how many years you have lived so far.C．To stay up reading from midnight to 3 a. m. every day.D．To raise as many children as you can and cherish them.11. What is the writing style of the passage?A．Romantic. B．Imaginative. C．Humorous. D．Ironic.A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin.About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱).“It is very painful,” says Vincenzo Masc oli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy. He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old. “Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my e yes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat,” he says. Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1. That means their skin can’t produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength.Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly. “All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene,” says Marinkovich.The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin. It was tested in a late-stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli.The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed. After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects.A US company called Krystal Biotech has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients in the US.12. What do we know about RDEB?A．It is a serious skin disease on children.B．It brings unbearable pain to the patients.C．It makes patients’ skin weak but seldom blister.D．About 800,000 children in the US suffer from it.13. Why do the patients with RDEB have weak skin?A．They don’t have the gene called COL7A1.B．They don’t deal with the wounds properly.C．Genes on them fail to provide right proteins.D．They have serious side effects after treatments.14. What do we know about the new therapy?A．It was developed by Krystal Biotech.B．It has proved highly effective on all patients.C．It will be applied to patients in a larger scale.D．It has positive effects on patients immediately.15. What is this text probably taken from?A．A biography. B．A course plan.C．A mathematics paper. D．A science magazine.How to Stay Safe on a Field TripMany parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips. 16 Here are some tips to help students stay secure during their field trip adventures.Stay physically safeIt’s crucial to ensure that students memorize their parents’ phone numbers and keep them handy in case of an emergency.
