天水一中高二级2016-2017学年度第一学期期末考试 英语试题 ‎（满分：100分 时间：90分钟）‎ 注意事项： ‎ ‎1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号填涂在答题卡相应的位置。‎ ‎2. 全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试卷上无效。 ‎ ‎ 第I卷（选择题）‎ 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2分, 共20分）‎ A ‎ Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.‎ Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.‎ Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.‎ Admit you don’t know. Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”‎ Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.‎ Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.‎ Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few ‎ people show upon time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.‎ ‎1．How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?‎ A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.‎ C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.‎ ‎2． If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.‎ A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you ‎3．What does the text mainly tell us?‎ A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties.‎ C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names.‎ B I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.‎ Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.‎ It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？”‎ Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.‎ For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the ‎ children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.‎ To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.‎ ‎4．With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.‎ A．They give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life B．They are for adult and that he is now an adult C．They help him forget the real world D．They are similar to cartoons he used to watch ‎ ‎5．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?‎ A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.‎ B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.‎ C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.‎ D．The audiences know they are simply foolish stories.‎ ‎6．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.‎ A．something imagined to be real B．something too ideal to believe C．a happy ending all the audience desire D．a belief that is based on facts ‎7．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies? ‎ A．People may be confused by them. B．Movies can usually improve real life.‎ C．Film fans just follow the movie stories. D．False comfort may mislead the audience.‎ C Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.‎ While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.‎ The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in ‎ the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.‎ In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.‎ Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.‎ The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.‎ After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.‎ ‎ The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.‎ ‎8．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those except .‎ A. high blood pressure problems B. making human hair thinner C. different kinds of diseases D. swelling in much of the body ‎9. From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas .‎ A. are likely to suffer from mental problems B. can measure the negative effect on them C. show little concern for air pollution D. can be exposed to polluted air longer ‎10．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution B. Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution C. Measurable Effect on Human Brain D. Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.‎ 根据内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。‎ If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a ‎ long way in improving it. Here are some tips for increasing your vocabulary.‎ ‎ 11 . You may be comfortable reading a particular part of the newspaper but make an effort to read different articles on every page. ‎ Make it a habit to read a new book every week. 12 .
