The UN has designated December 5 as “International Volunteers Day” to give recognition to these people.‎ Nineteen-year old Andrew Makhoul was a communications major at the University of Pennsylvania. It was coming up to spring break, but unlike his classmates, Makhoul wasn’t planning on spending the break relaxing and blowing off steam. He decided to spend his time off doing something for people less fortunate than himself. He traveled to Guatemala, to an orphanage（孤儿院） in one of the most violent and poor parts of Guatemala city. It depends upon volunteers to stay open. He didn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem: “You communicated with love.” And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.” Makhoul’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back in the future.‎ Sometimes, volunteers themselves live with huge challenges. The UN highlighted the case of Palestinian women who are survivors of breast cancer. As part of the UN’‎ s Aid and Hope Programme for Patient Care, the women have been volunteering their names to create low-cost breast prosthetics（假肢）to be distributed to women for free.‎ Shalhd El-Swerki worked with the women as part of the program. By the end of her time there, she admired these women who “are not only survivors, but … also volunteers.”‎ About 2,400 years ago, Greek philosopher Aristotle said, “The essence of life” was “to serve others and do good.” Volunteers all around the world are making these words come true, each and every day.‎ ‎21. Makhoul would be back to volunteer for the orphanage most probably because ________.‎ A. he was a good communications major B. he wanted to distinguish himself from his classmates C. the orphanage would close down without his work D. volunteering made his own life better as well ‎22. The writer gets his points across mainly by __________________.‎ A. offering analysis B. providing explanations C. giving examples D. making comparison ‎23. What is the writer’s main purpose for writing this article?‎ A. To advocate volunteering for others.‎ B. To show concern over the global situation.‎ C. To share two moving volunteering stories.‎ D. To tell how to become a successful volunteer.‎ B Being a teenager can be tough. “Troubled” and “rebellious（叛逆）” are often what people give kids in their teens. There are even scientific theories explaining the probability of teenagers taking risks is due to the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet. In other words, they can’t help but be difficult.‎ But a new study at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding. It turns out that teenagers are fine –‎ ‎ they simply have a stronger attraction to new things and are eager to explore the world.‎ ‎“What’s happening is that adolescents lack experience. So they’re trying things out for the first time – like learning how to drive. ” Daniel Romer, leading author of the study, told Psych Central.‎ This characteristic is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks during adolescence. Instead of being something to worry about, sensation seeking is actually necessary, since the process of learning usually goes hand in hand with taking risks.‎ ‎“Teenagers need to build experience so that they can do a better job in making the difficult and risky decision in later life – decisions like ‘Should I take this job?’ or ‘Should I marry this person?’” said Valerie Reyna, co-author of the study.‎ After all, if there’s anything scarier than taking a risk and making a mistake in your teenager years, it might be to find out you have no life experience when you turn 18 and step out of your parents’ protection and into a world that’s unknown to you.‎ ‎“Kids need the freedom to test out boundaries while still in a safe environment,” wrote Ann Robinson, editor of The Guardian. “Adolescence is a transitional period into adulthood. It can’t be rushed or suppressed（压制）. There is creativity, experimentation, freedom, and a degree of recklessness（鲁莽）in those years that fuels our later adult lives.” ‎ ‎24. According to the new study, teenagers enjoy taking risks because _________________.‎ A. they are not physically mature yet B. they have no worries in life at all C. they desire to experience new things D. they have to make decisions in later life ‎25. What is the author’s opinion on adolescents’ sensation seeking?‎ A. It leads to a scarier situation in their later life.‎ B. It helps adolescents to avoid making mistakes.‎ C. It urges adolescents to be independent of parents.‎ D. It’s a natural part of growing up and learning process.‎ ‎26. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A. Problems during Adolescence B. Adolescence Is All about the Risks C. How Adolescence Affects Adult Life D. Differences between Teenagers and Adults C Whether it’s brought on by a bullet wound, a vehicle accident or some other forms of wound, severe blood loss can kill everyone in just a few minutes. Even when medical professionals arrive at the scene quickly, keeping the victim alive long enough to reach a hospital in extreme cases is often difficult. A small company called Suneris has developed VetiGel, a plant-based product that the founders say can stop bleeding of both skin and organ injuries in 20 seconds or less. The gel（凝胶） essentially just needs to be spread on the wound, with no need for pressure.‎ Of course, there are competing products aiming to quickly stop blood loss, including Xstat, which is made up of pill-sized sponges（海绵）. But co-founder and CEO, Joe Landolina, says most of these products either take minutes to stop blood flowing or require pressure to be applied while the clot（血块） forms. “Certain products can only work on a bullet wound or on a specific type of wound,” says Landolina.‎ The idea for VetiGel came to Landolina about four years ago when he was a freshman at New York University. It was the earlier life experiences that set him on the path to the gel’s discovery. His grandfather was a wine maker who worked in a chemistry lab, and every day after school, since about the age of 11, Landolina says he would go there to learn and experiment. “My mom would always tell me to work with safer chemicals,” says Landolina, “which meant that I had to work with plants.” During that time, he says he came across a material that reacted in visual and physical ways when it was placed next to animal tissue. Landolina says, “That sent me down the research path to find the underlying technology that we have today.”‎ Landolina is keeping many details about the material from the public for now to ‎ safeguard their intellectual property, so others are unable to produce the same product. He says they have been working with outside researchers to confirm the company’s claims. The Department of Defense has shown interest in VetiGel for treating wounded soldiers in the field. The gel will likely land there after seeing any wide-scale approval. But Landolina hopes it will one day be found in ambulances, even wallets. ‎ ‎27. What’s the main purpose of VetiGel?‎ A. To avoid possible injuries in accidents.‎ B. To reduce the pressure of the wounded.‎ C. To help people stop the severe bleeding.‎ D. To help medical professionals handle extreme cases.‎ ‎28. What does the author mainly focus on in Paragraph 3?‎ A. What contribution Landolina has made.‎ B. What inspired Landolina to invent VetiGel.‎ C. How Landolina’s family encouraged him to invent VetiGel.‎ D. Why Landolina wanted to invent VetiGel when he was little.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Working in his grandfather’s chemistry lab.‎ B. Having contact with different chemicals.‎ C. Finding the reaction between a material and animal tissue.‎ D. Following his mother’s advice.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, VetiGel ___________.‎ A. enjoys huge public popularity B. is developed for the government C. is used through a complex process ‎ D. hasn’t been applied to medical fields yet 第二节（共5个小题；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。‎ Three Ways to Self-fund College The idea that parents should pay for their children’s college education is a nice one, but it’s far from a reality for many students. ___31___ Whatever the case may be, it’s time to take a good look at your options for funding college on your own. ‎ ‎1. Turn over every stone.‎ If you’re not a straight-A genius who could easily win college scholarships, there’s good news: __32__ Check out these popular College Confidential threads to see which awards average and above-average students are aiming at. Are your parents retirees? Are you a first-generation student? Is your family attached to any church or community groups? (Seriously, there are scholarships for all those things.) The secret to scoring major cash is following every possible source of funding.‎ ‎2. _____33______‎ Instead of going straight to a four-year institution, many students are choosing to start out at an affordable community college and transfer later. ___34___ If these are options that could work for you, just be sure you have a solid plan in place, and don’t let yourself get sidetracked from your goal of earning a college degree.‎ ‎3. Take what you can get.‎ Remember that not all valuable contributions are monetary（与钱有关的）. It’s time to sit down with your parents and have a serious talk about other expenses they might be able to help you with. ___35___ You can save several thousand per year on housing. What about books, meals, and other expenses? Even relatively small savings can be a huge leg up in the long run.‎ A. Take an alternative route.‎ B. You don’t need to be a genius to qualify for scholarships.‎ C. If they’re fine about letting you live at home, that’s great.‎ D. Think about if you can afford a price of around $ 10,000 per year.‎ E. Recent studies show a widespread lack of understanding of the real cost of college.‎ F. Similarly, some choose to take a year or two off after high school to save up as much as possible.‎ G. Some parents believe the responsibility of paying for college should fall on the person seeking a degree – that’s you.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ It was early in the morning and I couldn’t stop looking at the woman a few feet away from me on the beach.

Whether you prefer relaxing in a tube on a lazy river or riding a water ‎ roller coaster, a trip to one of the nation’s water parks offers something exciting for everyone. However, the fun does not come without risks. People who plan to go to a water park should be careful enough to follow rules to avoid these risks.‎ Drowning is one of the greatest dangers in water parks, especially for young children. The ability to swim is the most important skill in a water park. Before you go to a water park, make sure that all the people know how to swim well. Do not swim in water that does not have a lifeguard on the scene. Many parks provide life jackets for free – do prepare some for your group in case some people need them.‎ People usually choose to go to water parks on clear sunny days, which means that they are easy to get burnt in the sun, or even get heatstroke（中暑）. Most of the water parks are open areas with little shelter or few buildings to block the sun, so it can be dangerous for people who have fair and sensitive skin to spend a whole day there. Be sure to wear a hat and a shirt with sleeves over your bathing suit while you are walking around.‎ In rare cases, water park guests may be subjected to contaminated（受污染的）water. Some illnesses are easily spread in the instance. The most common cause of water contamination is small children who are not old enough to go to the toilet. Water parks have been trying their best to avoid the spread of diseases. However, contamination is still possible. Guests can protect themselves by trying not to swallow any water and washing their hands after playing with shallow and still water.‎ 北仑中学2018学年第一学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷 参考答案 第一部分：听力（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 ACBBA 6-10 CCAAB 11-15 CBCAC 16-20 AABCB 第二部分：阅读理解 第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21-23 DCA 24-26 CDB 27-30 CBCD 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎31-35 GBAFC 第三部分：语言应用 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36-40 DBACD 41-45 BCADA 46-50 CBABD 51-55 ACDCB 第二节：语法填空（共10个小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. has been ‎57. creates ‎58. which ‎59. to measure ‎60. safer ‎61. an ‎62. in ‎63. reality ‎64. as ‎65. constructing 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节：应用文写作（满分15分）‎ NOTICE To promote the Sino-US cultural communication, our school is organizing an overseas study tour to the sister school in America.
