Such a gesturer, I 高二英语 第 2 页 共 5 页
knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us." I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors. with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles. Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them. 14．The author's father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because ____. A. that was the author's favorite B. that was a gesture of love C. the author was always complaining D. he was sure the author would be thirsty 15．The author's father didn't hire a helper because ____. A. his job was too dangerous B. his job required high skills C. he was not good at communicating with others D. he wanted to save money 16.We may infer from the passage that ____. A. the author quite understood his father as time went on B. the author's father lacked a sense of humor C. the author's father didn't love him very much D. the author's father was too strict with him 17.What would be the best title for the passage? A. I just couldn't understand my father B. Silent fatherly love C. My father never loved me D. My hard-working father C If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 18．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _______. A. provide some key facts about Confucius B. attract the readers’ interest in the subject C. show great respect for the ancient thinker D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations 19．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _______. A. take an active part in Chinese competitions B. try to get high scores in Chinese exams C. have a great passion in studying Chinese D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese 20．What is the best title for this passage? A. Forgotten Wisdom in America. B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language.

I didn’t use it much at first, only to get a call from my daughter or to play a game or two. Soon, however, I found it far easier to surf the web or check out Facebook on the smart phone than my computer. Even with my limited time I quickly found myself spending more and more of it on this phone. It happened almost without me noticing it.Yesterday I was on it scrolling through the sea of stories, posts, news, and videos. Then suddenly a long and white nose pushed its way between me and my phone. It was my pet dog.I started to push it away but that only got me a lick(舔) from my cheek to my glasses. Laughing I put the phone down, took my glasses off and petted it. Soon we were hugging, and playing around down the hallways of my home. And I noticed something too. There was a feeling in my heart: a wonderful mixture of love, laughter, and joy. It was a feeling that I hadn’t gotten once during all that time I had spent on my phone.Strange how it took a dog to remind me of what is important for our souls. Technology is here to stay. But we shouldn’t let it control us or our time. I vowed then to spend less time on my addictive phone and more time doing the important things in life like talking to my friends, writing letters, and even playing with my dogs.

Playwrights had 12 hours to write a 10-miute play based on the theme, which meant that they had to work all night to get the scripts (剧本) ready before 8 a.m. on Saturday. Directors received scripts and had 12 hours with actors to start their rehearsals (排练). Everyone would perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday.As a stage manager, I had to make sure everything went well. It was really exciting because this was our first time. The performers did an excellent job. I was amazed at the playwrights’ beautiful scripts and the ideas they represented. Among those stories, there were many themes including friendship, love and equality.One of my favorite plays was about friendship. In the play, a girl and a boy haven’t seen each other for a long time. One day, they meet by accident. At first, they are nervous because they do not know where to start. It was so real that it reminded me of my friend and me. When they talked about good memories in the past and expectations of the future, I was moved. They moved like birds on the stage, and my heart followed.The actors were amazing. They had to memorize all their lines in 12 hours. Directors also contributed great ideas in such a short time. I was really excited to watch the performance and be one of the staff. It was not easy starting from zero, but as long as there is a beginning, a story always forms.8．What do we know about the 24-Hour Play Festival?A．The play theme was decided by the playwrights.B．Each student could be both an actor and a director.C．Students were pressed for time to prepare for the play.D．Actors had to work all night for the rehearsals.9．How did the author feel about her job as a stage manager?A．Nervous.B．Disappointed.C．Bored.D．Excited. 10．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4?A．She was absorbed in the play.B．She expected a lot about the future. C．The play was based on her real life.D．The play reminded her of her love story. 11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To share her special experience on campus.B．To express her pride in being a stage manager.C．To describe how to hold a 24-Hour Play Festival.D．To encourage readers to watch and write plays.Bactrian camels (骆驼) in the Gobi usually give birth to a baby camel every second year. But because of the terrible weather conditions, it is common for a mother or baby to die during or after delivery. The result is often lonely babies and sad mothers who need one another.After centuries in the desert, the locals have developed a unique musical practice (惯例) when they want a mother camel to accept a newborn baby camel. When the practice starts, a musician plays his instrument, usually a Mongolian flute. The mother and baby are tied together, and another musician begins to sing: “khuus, khuus, khuus.”At first, the mother either pays no attention to the baby or treats it badly. The “coaxer (劝诱者),” at this point，changes the music based on the behavior. The singer begins to copy the sound of the camel’s walking, running and voices. After many hours of this, the mother and baby are in tears, and are joined for life.However, each year fewer and fewer young peopel are willing to learn and pass on this tradition. In addition, more and more Mongolian families are sending daughters away to study and live in cities, and those who leave almost never return. The young men who remain in the desert struggle then to find wives and raise families that can help raise camels and keepthe traditions alive. On top of that, many have discovered that motorbikes are cheaper than camels. All of this are killing the traditional way of life.A few Mongolians have turned to the United Nations to help save this practice. In 2015, they added it to their “List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding,” but it’s hard to know what influence this can have beyond recognizing the existence of the practice.12．Why do the locals develop the Mongolian practice?A．To help baby camels get along with hosts.B．To make mother camels give birth more often.C．To calm down mother camels during delivery.D．To strengthen mother and baby camels’ relationships.13．What can be inferred about the coaxing practice?A．It requires great skills.B．It lasts for a few days.C．The music is slow and sad.D．The practice is still popular today.14．Why is the practice in danger?A．Because of the useless of camels.B．Because of the difficulty of the practice.C．Because of the changes in locals’ lifestyle.D．Because of the terrible weather in the desert.15．What’s the attitude of the author towards the practice?A．Confident.B．Uncertain.C．Enthusiastic.D．Upset.二、七选五world.

But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names Where do they come from What do they meanPeople’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook 小溪; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.36. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOTcover A. Places where people lived. B. People’s characters.C. Talents that peopl e possessed.D. People’s occupations.37. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture38.

He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger through one of theholes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s dea th, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas" he asked."The letters"'I guess you never knew.""Knew what""Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street It was your dad who answered all those letters every year."I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several ofthe people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift ofa lifetime.46. It can be inferred推断 from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as __________.A. great chances to help other peopleB. happy occasions to play with baby chickensC. exciting experience with a lot of funD. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies47.

She was so bored that she absent-mindedly picked up a banana on her kitchen table and started running her fork along the outside of the skin. The dark lines that appeared on the skin looked interesting to her, and she watched as the marks gradually got darker. She continued doodling and was soon interested.Chojnicka started making pictures that were more and more complex (复杂的) using the same way—only pressure, no paint—until she drew an Ethiopian coffee pot and cup. Her new hobby was born. Since that first day she knew what she could do by drawing on a banana skin, Chojnicka has been posting her daily paintings online, where she has thousands of fans. “I haven’t missed a day, but I know I can’t keep that up forever,” she says, adding that she finishes her daily picture, takes a photo and then eats the banana because she doesn’t like waste.Her art comes to life by oxidization(氧化). Just like apples, bananas oxidize or turn brown as their cells interact with oxygen in the air. Cells that are damaged brown faster. By varying the time when she applied the marks, Chojnicka discovered that she could create complex pictures.While her banana drawings began as a way to overcome boredom, they have become something bigger. “I saw a chance to put it to something good,” says Chojnicka. With the help of her social media fans, she has collected about $1,600 for FareShare, an organization in the United Kingdom that provides food for people in need.4、What does the underlined wor d “doodling” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Eating.B. Drawing.C. Observing.D. Imagining.5、What does Chojnicka do after finishing her daily creation?A. She colors it with dark paint.B. She sells it to her followers online.C.

How banana drawings are possible.C. Why banana drawings are so popular.D. Why Chojnicka began to study fruits.7、What is Chojnicka trying to do with her creations?A. To help the society.B. To climb to the top of her career.C. To teach people how to appreciate art.D. To encourage her followers to achieve their dreams.Great scientific progress has been made in recent years to show that walking is among the simplest and most effective for people to promote (促进) physical health and help prevent diseases. A research has brought more good news.A team of researchers looked at data (数据) on 474,919 people who took part in the UK Biobank study, in which they answered whether the walking speed was slow, average or fast. Researchers also measured factors (因素) including the people’s BMI (体重指数) and body-fat percentage.They found that people who walked fast had longer life expectancies (预期寿命) than the others in spite of their BMI, at 86.7 to 87.8 years for women 85.2 to 86.8 years for men. Those who walked slowly had short expectancies, particularly those who moved slowly and had a BMI of less than 20, even though this was in the healthy range. Women in this group had an average life expectancy of 72.4 years, dropping to 64.8 years for men.The lowest life expectancy was seen in those who were underweight with a slow walking speed, which is in contrast to the assumption: that is often made that fatness creates the greatest risk. In fact, many others have also reported an increased risk of death rate in those who are underweight, although this research is the first to investigate this in relation to walking speed. However, the study is not a cause-and-effect relationship. More research must be done to look at whether the high-risk group could improve their life expectancies by picking up their speed.“While there’re likely to be many factors contributing to the strength of o ur findings, increasing your fitness is one of the best things you can do for your health, ”,said Tom Yates, lead author of the study. “Increasing your walking speed in everyday life is a good way to increase fitness levels, particularly in those who are s low walkers. So get moving fast!”8、How did the researchers carry out their new research?A. By observing many people.B. By doing surveys.C. By analyzing the information.D. By doing experiments.9、What does the author say about the study?A. It needs further research.B. It arrives at a wrong conclusion.C. Its findings are not reasonable.D. Its results are similar to those of past studies.10、What is Yates attempting to do in the last paragraph?A. Make comments.B. Give suggestions.C. Offer explanations.D. Express opinions.11、Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Walk for better health.B. Fast walkers appear to live longer.C. Your BMI determines how long you live.D. Increasing your fitness matters.When you are lying in bed, every single noise-from the creak(嘎吱声) of the bed to a whistle in your partner’s nose-may keep you awake. You may find it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Actually, you may just need more noise. While it may sound strange, it is scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you sleep well. Specially white, pink and Brown noise can mask(掩饰) these sounds, creating a more harmonious background.White noise contains sounds of all frequencies(频率) that humans can hear. But it comes across as a high-pitched buzz(声调高的嗡嗡声). That’s because of the way your ears hear it. Basically, your brain strengthens sounds in higher-pitched frequencies. So while you are hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest frequencies tend to drown(淹没) the lower-pitched ones.The pink noise balanced out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the more its volume is decreased. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise. Think of rain falling on the sidewalk or a gentle wind in the trees.In a study at China’s Peking University, researchers found that when people hear either pink noise or no noise during the sleep, 75 % reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors proved that people had 23 % more restful brain activity at night withpink noise and 45 % more restful sleep during naps.Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound.The color of noise that will help you get more sleep is the one you like the best. While pink and brown noises are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will decide which one gives you the best sleep.12、According to the passage, we know that the white noise ________A. removes low-frequency sounds.B. protects ears from high-pitched sounds.C. makes sounds of all frequencies heard equally.D. contains sounds of all frequencies of people can hear.13、Why does the author mention the study at China’s Peking University?A. To show the need for silence during sleep.B. To prove pink noise’s positive influence on sleep.C. To stress the importance of restful sleep.D. To give the reason for more noise for sleep.14、What’s the main idea o f this passage?A. Some types of noise may help people sleep better.B. Our brain is always kept active.C. Many people have difficulty sleeping well.D. Noise has different colors and frequencies.15、In which section of newspaper may this passage appear?A. Environment.B. Education.C. Science.D. Travel.二、七选五16、How to get motivatedYou must think positively no matter how big a challenge is. If you think positively you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life.

People flocked to Tokyo’s Ueno Zoological Gardens to see Xiang Xiang on Sunday, the final day for public viewing for the beloved five-year-old female giant panda before her return to China.Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today.Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meal but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about17%of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having alow-metabolic(新陈代谢的), lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids(氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.Pandas have evolved(进化) to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To help with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb”(伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize objects such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.8．Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To state the variety of food.B．To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.C．To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.D．To describe the changes of living environment.9．What caused pandas’ change in diet?A．The low-metabolic lifestyle.B．The amino acids in meat.C．The surface of the panda’s tongue.D．The Taslrl gene’s inactivation. 10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Developing more fingers.B．Seizing bamboo shoots.C．The low energy return.D．The vegetarian diet.11．Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 5 focus on?A．The evolutionary feature in eating.B．The preference for bamboo.C．The unique lifestyle.D．The special appearance.As we all know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now scientists have givenus another warning: spending too much time on smart phones or computers makes you dull too.“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.12．According to Professor Greenfield, what is the consequence of using digital media in education?A．Students don’t get along well with family members.B．Students always make more mistakes when taking exams.C．Students can’t catch up with others in schoolwork.D．Students fail to know other people’s emotions.13．What do scientists think of the results of Greenfield’s experiment?A．They are far from useful.B．They are alarming for people. C．They are quite surprising.D．They need to be improved.14．What can we learn from the text?A．Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.B．Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.C．Students living without screens did much better in studies.D．Overusing digital devices raised some worries.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Stay away from the Internet B．Here comes a digital world C．Screens are harmful to emotions D．How people become addicted二、七选五Many people may feel puzzled when viewing art, for it is generally thought to be too abstract and professional.

If you don’t like a certain style, don’t worry—there is something out there for everyone, from Abstract Expressionism to Photorealism.A．Do some homework.B．Find your likes and dislikes.C．Is the artwork forceful and dramatic?D．Is there a right or a wrong way on how to view art?E．If it’s a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paint used.F．The most enriching and fascinating artwork requires plenty of time to fully appreciate.
