2017-2018学年广东省阳春市第一中学高二下学期第一次段考英语试题 Word版

‎2017-2018学年广东省阳春市第一中学高二下学期第一次段考英语科试卷（时间：120分钟，满分：135分）‎ 第一部分：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）‎ ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Chambanamoms Presents Girl’s Night Out: Foot Golf!‎ Grab some friends and join us on Saturday, June 4, for a fun night out at Lake of the Woods Golf Course in Mahomet, thanks to our friends at the Champaign County Forest Preserve District. There will be giveaways, some adult drinks and food, as well as a great night out playing Foot Golf. Yes, we said Foot Golf. You don't need to have a bag full of clubs (球杆) or fancy spikes (钉鞋) — just bring yourself (and athletic shoes, please).‎ If you can kick a soccer ball, you can play Foot Golf. If you can laugh and have fun, you can also play Foot Golf. ‎ So what is Foot Golf? Foot Golf is what happens when you combine golf and soccer. Players kick off from a tee box (开球处) and attempt to get their soccer ball into a 21-inch diameter (直径) cup using the fewest number of kicks. Foot Golf can be played by children and adults. It is a trend sweeping golf courses across the country, and we are lucky to have it right here in Champaign County. ‎ This event is FREE. To manage the number of people we have on the course, we are asking our friends to register (注册). Here is a quick and easy form to fill out: http://www.chambanamoms.com/girlsnightoutrsvp/‎ We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m. Bring your girlfriends — and your sense of humor! ‎ IF YOU DRIVE: Lake of the Woods Golf Course is a quick drive west from Champaign-Urbana on Interstate 74. Get off at Lake of the Woods exit, Exit No. 174. Head north for ½ mile until the first stop sign. Take a left at the stop sign and travel for one mile. This road will take you directly to the golf course.‎ ‎1. Participants who come to Girl's Night Out __________.‎ A. should wear athletic shoes B. need to bring spikes C. should bring their own clubs D. have to bring drinks and food ‎2. What do we know about Foot Golf ?‎ A. It is played worldwide. B. It is intended for children.‎ C. It is a mixture of golf and soccer. D. It is nothing like playing golf.‎ ‎3. What type of writing is this text?‎ A. An advertisement. B. A lesson plan. ‎ C. An educational report. D. An introduction to a sport.‎ B ‎ It was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in the stream behind Mr. Blickez’s house, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down. Across his farm and through some woods was a deep swimming hole supplied by several cold springs(泉).‎ ‎ The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie, the animal’s name, was the meanest bull in town, maybe even the county, and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was reason to doubt about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr. Blickez finally agreed.‎ ‎ On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking (舔) his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.‎ ‎ When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”.‎ ‎4. The author and his brother decided to go to swim because __________.‎ ‎ A. there was no water to take a shower at home ‎ B. they wanted to try their newly-found swimming hole ‎ C. Mr. Blickez invited them to his house for swimming ‎ D. the weather was so hot that they couldn’t stand it ‎5. What was the problem faced by the author and his brother?‎ ‎ A. They didn’t know where to swim. B. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.‎ ‎ C. They had to face a very mean bull. D. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.‎ ‎6. What can we know about Mr. Blickez?‎ ‎ A. He is very shy. B. He often tells lies.‎ ‎ C. He is an honest man. D. He is very kind to children.‎ ‎7. When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she __________.‎ ‎ A. tried to attack him B. showed her friendliness ‎ C. immediately ran away D. tried to drive him away ‎ C There are around 6,000 living languages in the world — and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world, languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or mammals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4.5 percent of languages have died out — compared with 1.3 percent of birds, and 1.9 percent of mammals.‎ Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace (痕迹). Only a very few — Basque, Greek and Latin among them — have lasted more than 2,000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.‎ The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language, it will probably die out.‎ Languages may be lost through migration (迁移), as people move from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also devastate populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also play a role in the ‎ extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”, for a country to educate its children and carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small languages.‎ ‎ What is lost if a language is lost? Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language — some industries already reflect (反映) this, with English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.‎ To put it simply, language expresses something about identity, about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi, a Maori teacher in New Zealand's North Island, sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language, you won't know who you are.”‎ ‎8. The numbers mentioned in the first paragraph suggest that __________.‎ A. most languages have died out completely ‎ B. languages are disappearing slower than before C. animals are disappearing faster than languages D. languages are in great danger of extinction ‎9. The underlined word “devastate” can best be replaced by “__________”.‎ A. increase           B. control   C.  improve           D. damage ‎10. If a language is lost, __________.‎ A. there will be great trouble ‎ B. its culture and knowledge will also be lost C. there is no need to worry about it D. people will be able to communicate with others conveniently ‎11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Languages reflect our identity.‎ B. People will speak the same language one day.‎ C. Fewer people will remember their own languages.‎ D. Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.‎ D ‎ Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a ‎ couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.‎ ‎ Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and finally Eastern Europe. ‎ ‎ China is planning to extend(延长) its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. ‎ ‎ If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could rush from London to Beijing within two days. The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.‎ ‎ China’s bullet train(高速列车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. ‎ ‎ Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety and maintenance(保养) of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on longer railway construction. ‎ ‎ China prefers that the other countries provide natural resources rather than financial investment. Resources from those countries could flood into China to support development.‎ ‎ It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will certainly create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. ‎ ‎ For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We predict that in the coming decades, millions of people will move to the western parts, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.‎ ‎12. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan __________.‎ ‎ A. financial problems B. safety of the system ‎ ‎ C. technical issues D. maintenance of railway tracks ‎13. What’s the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?‎ ‎ A. Positive B. Negative C. Doubtful D. Critical ‎ ‎14. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because __________.‎ ‎ A. China and the countries involved will get much-needed resources ‎ ‎ B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways ‎ C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries ‎ D. foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism ‎15. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? ‎ ‎ A. International Railway Network B. High-speed Bullet Trains ‎ C. Big Railway Dreams D. New Railway Standards 第二节（共5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Movie Movies are a form of entertainment that is popular all over the world. Movies are pictures that seem to move when shown on a screen. They are also called motion pictures or films.‎ ‎  16   Two important pieces of equipment are the movie camera and the movie projector.‎ A movie camera records pictures on film. A movie camera takes many still pictures very quickly. Most movie cameras take 24 pictures every second. Because they are taken so close together they catch very small differences in movement.‎ ‎  17   As film runs through it, a projector flashes the pictures one after the other on a screen. The pictures go past the eyes so quickly that the brain links them together as a moving scene.‎ The projector also plays the movie's sound track (声道). The sound track contains all of the sounds of the movie, including talking, music, and sound effects.‎ ‎  18  The producer handles the business. He raises money for making the movie and hires (雇用) people, including the screenwriter and the director. The screenwriter puts the story together and writes what the actors will say.  The director turns the written story into a movie. He helps the producer choose the actors and actresses who appear in the movie. Some members create special effects.   19  ‎ After the filming is done, editors put the pictures and sound together. Usually the director films a lot of material, some of which will not be included in the final movie.   20   Finally, sound editors make sure that the sound track fits well with the pictures.‎ A. Making a movie takes many people.‎ B. Making and viewing a movie requires special equipment.‎ C. A movie projector makes the still picture appear to move.‎ D. During filming, the director decides how the scenes are filmed.‎ E. The sound track is a thin band that runs along the edge of the film.‎ F. Film editors work with the director to cut scenes and move others around.‎ G. Special effects are tricks used to film things that would be too difficult to film.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 ‎：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ Mrs. Hyde was my fifth and sixth grade teacher.

B。由文中的描述可知，Hyde老师的鼓励对“我”“意味（meant）”深远。‎ 第二节：‎ ‎61. depths。考查名词。the depths of the sea 意为“海洋深处”。‎ ‎62. colder。考查形容词比较级。由语境可知，外面的空气比鲸鱼呼出的气冷，且其前有much修饰，故填colder。‎ ‎63. called。考查过去分词作定语的用法。a cloud of mist后跟后置定语，call与a cloud of mist之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且call所表示的动作已发生，故填called。‎ ‎64. to communicate。考查不定式作状语的用法。鲸鱼们发出声音的目的是彼此交流，故填to communicate。‎ ‎65. The。考查定冠词。形容词最高级前面要用定冠词，故填The。‎ ‎66. absolutely。考查副词。设空处修饰形容词huge，故填副词absolutely。‎ ‎67. with。考查介词。此处是with复合结构作状语。‎ ‎68. which。 考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句补充说明strings of hardened skin，且在从句中作主语，故填which。‎ ‎69. is used。考查一般现在时的被动语态。由语境可知，此处用一般现在时，又因skin与use之间是被动关系，故填is used。‎ ‎70. holding。考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。while与设空处构成“连词+分词”结构，因主语This hardened skin与hold back之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填holding。‎
