‎2019学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A An Unexpected Storm This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.‎ It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.‎ Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.‎ I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.‎ When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was flat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.‎ When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.‎ Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail (下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.‎ Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helped clean 14‎ ‎ parks and gardens. Some people’s cars were damaged by trees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.‎ ‎21. How did the weather change according to the passage?‎ A. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—windy—hail—sunny.‎ B. Sunny and hot—windy—hail—thunder and lightning—sunny.‎ C. Sunny and hot—windy—thunder and lightning—hail—sunny.‎ D. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—hail—windy—sunny.‎ ‎22. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. I could run faster than a sportsman.‎ B. I did all the things in a flash.‎ C. I could stay at home on a stormy day.‎ D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.‎ ‎23. What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?‎ A. We should respect nature.‎ B. Everything will be history.‎ C. We should help each other.‎ D. The disaster will be predicted.‎ B Other people may have their own agenda (议程) for our life; we can value their input but we don’t have to take it to heart.‎ As children, our parents had dreams for us. They warned us to do well in school, and to do whatever was necessary to reach our highest potential. Later in life, friends may try to set us up with their idea of the perfect partner or the perfect job. People close to us may have ideas about how we should live our lives, ideas that usually come from love and the desire for us to be happy. Other times, they come from a place of need within them-whether it is the parent who wants us to live out his or her dreams or the friend who wants us to play an already-defined role. Whatever the case, we can appreciate and consider those people’s input, but finally we must follow our own guidance.‎ There may come a time when all the suggestions can become overbearing 14‎ ‎ (霸道的). We may feel that the people we love don’t approve of our judgment, which can hurt our feelings. It can disturb the choices we make for our lives by making us doubt ourselves before we’ve had a chance to decide what we want.‎ We can tell our loved ones how much we appreciate their thoughts and ideas, but that we need to live our own lives and make our own decisions. We can explain that they need to let us learn from our own experiences. When they see that we are happy with our lives and the path we are taking to reach our goals, they can make sure that all we need them to do is to share in our joy.‎ ‎24. People close to us often tell us ideas to show their .‎ A.concern B. authority C. potential D. happiness ‎25. What should we do when we disagree with our friends’ advice?‎ A. Prove that our choices are right.‎ B. Make them follow our decisions.‎ C. Let them know we should make our own decisions.‎ D. Tell them our choice directly without compromise.‎ ‎26. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Appreciating suggestions B. Offering suggestions ‎ C. Accepting suggestions D. Exchanging suggestions C In addition to the official basketball world, various other types of basketball are practiced around the world.‎ Wheelchair Basketball Wheelchair basketball was invented in 1946 by former American basketball players, who, after wartime injury, wanted once again to experience the excitement of a highly athletic sport within a team environment. It is now played in more than 80 countries by over 25,000 men, women and children with a physical disability（身体残疾）which prevents them playing competitive basketball on their feet.‎ http://www.iwbf.org Beach Basketball 14‎ Beach basketball is an exciting, non-stop action game played in the sand. The game was born more than forty years ago on the physical education fields of Gulf Shores School. This kind of basketball, invented by Philip Bryant, has grown from an extremely effective skill improvement game to a very popular, widespread competitive sport.‎ http://www.beachbasketball.com Street Basketball Street Basketball or streetball is mainly played as a leisure(休闲) game, but streetball players can also compete against each other. There are no specific streetball rules and the game is played outdoors; the players make up their own rules to play. Streetball is very popular among younger players and allows players to publicly show their own individual(个体的) skills.‎ http://www.streetball.com Deaf Basketball Basketball for the deaf (unable to hear in one or both ears) men and women has been played since the early 1920s. The game today has exactly the same rules as FIBA.‎ http://wwwdibf.org Bankshot Basketball Bankshot is a new game of skill and challenge that is often described as “mini golf, but with a basketball.” Bankshot is the only sports system that allows the able-bodied and athletes with a disability to play together at the same time. This game is about no running, jumping, or body contact（接触）and relies on the shooting skill.‎ http://www.bankshot.com ‎27.Which of the following types of basketball has the longest history?‎ A. Deaf Basketball B. Bankshot Basketball  C. Wheelchair Basketball D. Beach Basketball ‎28. If those having poor hearing want to play basketball, they’re advised to visit ______.‎ A. http://www.iwbf.org  B. http://www.beachbasketball.com 14‎ C. http://www.streetball.com D. http://wwwdibf.org ‎ ‎29. Which of the following types of basketball allows physically strong and disabled players to play together?‎ A. Street Basketball?  B. Beach Basketball C. Wheelchair Basketball  D. Bankshot Basketball 　‎ ‎30. What do we know from the text?‎ A. Disabled players can play in two of the five types of basketball. B. Beach basketball was originally designed to improve one’s skills.‎ C. Wheelchair basketball was invented by Philip Bryant.‎ D. Streetball rules are very strict.‎ D Your job is important and part of what shows who you are. However, in order to be truly successful in life you need to be balanced. After fifteen years in the Information Technology industry, I have learned a few lessons that have helped me maintain my sanity (明智) at work.‎ The key for me has always been to have hobbies and interests outside of work. It doesn’t matter what you do, but you need time away from your work, time away from your family and time that is strictly yours for enjoyment. This blog, for example, is one of my new hobbies. Without hobbies, or at least a time to decompress, I feel that by the end of the week I’m dead and no use to my family all the weekend long.‎ I put family first. This doesn’t mean I’m a clock-watcher at work, but means that I leave my work at work and make time for my family. I make sure I’m there for supper almost every night and I spend time with my family (And watching TV doesn’t count). My overall life runs a lot better when I make sure I give time to my family.‎ If I don’t do something active like running, playing soccer or rock climbing, I tend to be ill-tempered. This is the way I deal with my stress; it’s not only something that makes me feel good, but also means that I can focus on work.‎ I take time for personal reflection (反省). It makes me feel like all those goals I haven’t reached yet are attainable (可达到的) if I stay focused and on 14‎ ‎ course.‎ ‎31. We can learn from the text that the author 　　　.‎ ‎ A. thinks people are what they do B. posted this text in his blog ‎ ‎ C. seldom has supper with his family ‎ ‎ D. worked in the IT industry 15 years ago ‎32. What does the underlined word “decompress” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. Play sports. B. Reduce stress. ‎ ‎ C. Be with the family. D. Improve oneself.‎ ‎33. The author puts family first, 　　　. ‎ ‎ A. for he doesn’t like his work much ‎ ‎ B. so he often watches TV with them ‎ C. for a good family life does good to his overall life ‎ ‎ D. so he always expects to go home at work ‎34. According to the author, we should 　　　 to deal with stress.‎ ‎ A. do something active B. do much reading ‎ ‎ C. keep a good mood D. focus on our work ‎ ‎35. How many ways to be balanced are mentioned in the text? ‎ ‎ A. One. B. Two. C. Four. D. Three. ‎ 第一节 ‎　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。‎ How to pass an important test Whether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. __36_ Stuck in a situation where you don't know what to do?

You will listen to the language all the time, surround completely by the language wherever you would go and have to speak English if you are with the local people. In China, there is always possible to speak Chinese in class and the learning is slower. However, there are also advantage of studying at home. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. Beside, it’s much cheaper than going to Britain.‎ In my view, for most people without enough money, being at home is their only choice.
