From early childhood we experience situations in life that seem 36 or that don’t make sense to us, from an unequal distribution of toys to all kinds of bad things happening to 37 people. When we find ourselves faced with the __38 of life’s apparent unfairness, it’s often hard to let go and accept things as they are.‎ ‎ The 39 part of non-acceptance of others, of those aspects of ourselves that we don’t 40 or of situations we face in life that seem greatly unfair is that we stay stuck, and we stay stressed. Paradoxically (很矛盾地), 41 to accept those things in life that are unacceptable is often the most 42 step in releasing ourselves from our negative emotions.‎ ‎ __43 accepting those bad things in life is often easier said than done, it’s much easier done when you know where to 44 , and you have a plan.

One of the most 48 ways is to actively focus on everything we have to appreciate. We now know that appreciation is a key component to happiness and inner 49 , so this is an important tool for acceptance and for overall life 50 . Often when we view things from a different perspective, we can 51 differently about them, and this 52 in feeling can make acceptance come much easier. That act of 53 things differently can help us to see the positive in what looks like the negative, and can help us to see the hidden ___54 of a difficult situation. This act doesn’t 55 the situation, but it can help us to see the situation differently, which can be transformative.‎ ‎36. A. unfair B. unhelpful C. unnecessary D. unknown ‎37.

It’s a sleek but welcoming hotel with an open-plan lobby that incorporates an inhouse restaurant and a comfortable lounge area. Upstairs, we quickly warm to our modern guestroom, which features reliable, free WiFi, free movies on a large wall-mounted TV, and in the bathroom Malin+Goetz toiletries(洗漱用品). It’s good value at about $160 for a king room.‎ ‎8 p.m. — Dinner and a drive-in movie ‎ - 18 -‎ ‎ The hotel’s Roadhouse Bar and Grill has an upscale menu (mains $25 — $40 per person) but a casual atmosphere, with an open kitchen and families seated at several tables. We’ve been told not to fill up on dinner so we reluctantly leave our tender scotch fillet(鱼片) and expertly pan-fried barramundi unfinished. At the reception, we pick up keys to the hotel’s white Cadillac, which is parked out front, and drive around the corner to the Skyline Drive-In ($20 for one car with two passengers).‎ Saturday ‎9 a.m. — Feasting in Bonnyrigg ‎ ‎ Everywhere we go, there is food. At the temple, we watch a famous Laotion chef prepare pawpaw salad, while at the mosque(清真寺) we are offered feather-light fairy floss. Later, in a low-ceilinged Asian grocer, we are fed sublime rice-paper rolls by a proprietor who speaks five languages. Those who dismiss ordinary Australians as conservative and intolerant have clearly not visited Bonnyrigg.‎ ‎6 p.m. — People-watching at The Emporium ‎ ‎ In Parramatta, the venue(场所) of the moment is The Emporium, a 150-seat exposed-brick space with a mod-Oz menu which leans Mediterranean. Unlike many of the more casual places we visit over the weekend, The Emporium has a decidedly grown-up atmosphere, full of well-dressed couples and smart wait staff. Dishes like a delicate stew of Moreton Bay bugs ($36) and truffle-stuffed chicken breast (also $36) are delicious. Don’t expect to get a table on Saturday night unless you book ahead.‎ ‎56. How much did the author and her boyfriend have to pay at least on Friday?‎ A. $216. B. $226. C. $332. D. $260.‎ ‎57 According to the passage, a visitor to western Sydney can __________.‎ A. get warm in modern guestrooms B. overeat delicious dinner ‎ C. hire a car to see movies D. feel unfriendliness from ordinary Australians B Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and - 18 -‎ ‎ usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern technology has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons, may before long offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by compromise in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.‎ There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based on dogmatic (教条式的) statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them fanatically(狂热) that they are willing to go to war in support of them.‎ The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace (老生长谈) that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb.‎ ‎58. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage _________.‎ A. is a supporter of some modem ideologies B. does not think that the adoption of any ideology could prevent war C. believes that the adoption of some ideologies could prevent war D. has no doubt about the truth of any ideologies ‎59. The last paragraph suggests that_______.‎ - 18 -‎ ‎　 A. international agreements can be reached more easily now B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war ‎　 C. nuclear war will definitely not take place D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war ‎60. According to the author, _________.‎ A. war is the only way to solve international disputes B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons C. it is impossible for man to live without war D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive C Primary schools could be told to remove some traditional subject-based lessons and replace them with “personal development” classes to encourage children to improve their social and practical skill. Parents, teachers and pupils, who took part in the investigation carried out for the biggest ever official review of the primary curriculum, argued that the number of subjects taught to very young people should be reduced.‎ ‎ The review, being conducted by the government’s school’s director Sir Jim Rose, will consider how to redesign the primary school day to handle concerns that too many pupils leave primary school unable to read, write and do maths at the level expected of them. It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning.‎ ‎ The 60 focus groups brought together 1,500 parents, pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose review, which the government is promising to back. Instead of a broad range of subjects, pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal, learning and thinking skills, they say. Such lessons might include “healthy lifestyles, sex and relationships education, drugs and alcohol education”.‎ ‎ “Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics.” John Bangs, head of education - 18 -‎ ‎ at the National Union of Teachers, said, “The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system. That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet children’s unique needs.”‎ ‎ However, the shadow schools minister, Nick Gibb, said, “If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects, it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.” “Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they don’t have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school. Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest.” Nick added. A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) said, “This is a summary of stake holder’s view, not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF, and has been submitted to Sir Jim Rose’s review as evidence to consider.”‎ ‎61. According to the focus groups, the result of learning too many subjects is most likely to be that _______.‎ A. children may not have any freedom B. children may not have enough time to pursue personal interest C. children may not know anything outside the classroom D. children may not have creative ability ‎62. Which of the following is False about the review conducted by Sir Jim Rose? ‎ A. It will greatly influence the country’s future primary curriculum.‎ B. To complete it will take more time and efforts.‎ C. It is supported by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF.‎ D. It needs to take fully into account varied views from the society. ‎ ‎63. John Bangs’s attitude towards the current high stakes testing system is __________.‎ A. negative B. positive C. uncertain D. cautious ‎64. According to Nick Gibb, grasp of basic subjects early on in primary school is important for _______.‎ A. the primary curriculum reform B. children’s development in the future - 18 -‎ C. learning more basic knowledge D. increasing the children’s confidence D We see it everywhere. A tired parent, at the end of a stressful day, loses it - and a child suffers. We'd like to help if we could, but we hesitate. Is it our business to intervene? And if we do, will we embarrass and offend the parent, making her even more angry with the child? Will we make the mistake of harshly telling a parent to be gentle with her children? Isn't it wiser to walk past without comment? After all, none of us is a perfect parent. ‎ ‎ There seems to be a common assumption in our society that intervening on behalf of a child in a public place is necessarily hurtful and critical. It needs to be neither. There is a world of difference between officious, hurtful criticism (“How dare you treat your child like that?”) and helpful intervention done in a caring way (“It can be really hard to meet their needs when you're so busy. Is there anything I can do to help?”) There is nothing essential in intervention that requires one to be offensive. The act of offering assistance to the parent, or comfort to the child, needs to have no offending qualities at all.‎ ‎ Many in our society make a second common assumption that the choice we have is to give a message to the parent (and the child) or to give no message at all. But “giving no message” is not, in fact, one of our choices. We give as clear a message by walking past a distraught child as we do by intervening. Walking past, we give the message to the child that no one cares about his suffering, and to the parents we give the message that we approve of their actions.‎ ‎ I have been asked if I advocate intervention in every case of potential abusiveness. Of course I do not. But there is a big difference between a child crying for no apparent reason and one who is crying because he has just been hit hard, insulted, or completely ignored. But even if a baby is crying for mysterious reasons, the parent might still welcome an offer of assistance. ‎ ‎ Babies cry for many reasons. Yet my friends and I have witnessed some really harmful acts: slapping, hitting, pinning against a wall, severe verbal abuse, hurtful comparisons to brothers and sisters, and so on. These children accept this treatment ‎ - 18 -‎ because they are too helpless and inexperienced to stand up for themselves. Should we simply walk past an obviously abusive situation? At exactly what point should we step in? Should we wait until the child is the victim of a severe physical assault? But assault takes many forms. That emotional abuse leaves no outward scars should not excuse us from helping these children. Those of us who can recognize damaging treatment have an obligation to step in.‎ ‎ There is one more reason for intervening that is nearly always overlooked in these discussions, but which I consider to be the most significant: the lifelong effect it can have on the child. Many adults in counseling sessions still recall with gratitude the one time that a stranger stepped in on their behalf, and how much it meant: that someone cared, and that the child's feelings of anger and frustration were recognized and accepted. These adults have stated to me that this one intervention changed their lives and gave them hope. Are we to bypass the opportunity to make such a big difference in the life of a child? ‎ ‎ Even in the unfortunate --- and hopefully rare --- case where the parent is offended, the intervention may still act as a reminder to the parent to be more attentive to the nature of their interactions with their child.‎ ‎ Psychiatric case histories clearly show that today’s psychopathic adults were yesterday's hurt children. There is no time machine we can take to help yesterday’s children. But we can help today's children to become secure and responsible adults who will treat their own children with dignity, love, and compassion.‎ ‎65. What does the underlined word “intervene ” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ ‎ A. To ruin a quiet and peaceful situation. ‎ ‎ B. To get involved in order to change an action. ‎ ‎ C. To come between when you are not wanted. ‎ ‎ D. To stop one’s action by suddenly speaking to him.‎ ‎66. If you pass an abusive situation without intervention, _______.‎ ‎ A. the parent will be disappointed B. the child will feel lonely and helpless ‎ C. the abuse will become more severe D. the other passers-by will blame you - 18 -‎ ‎67. Which is one of the reasons that stop people from helping an abused child?‎ ‎ A. Their forgiveness for the parent’s action.‎ ‎ B. Their ignorance of what is happening.‎ ‎ C. Their worry about the parent’s attack.‎ ‎ D. Their disregard for the child’s situation.‎ ‎68. Which intervention does the writer most likely approve of?‎ ‎ A. Don't you think you are too hard on your child?‎ ‎ B. Our law doesn't allow you to treat your child like that.‎ ‎ C. If you can't look after her well, just leave her at home.‎ ‎ D. The boy may be tired. Do you need any help?‎ ‎69. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Intervention only applies to physical abuse.‎ ‎ B. If you see a child crying, intervention is always needed.‎ ‎ C. Proper intervention helps a child grow healthily.‎ ‎ D. A psychological problem is not so difficult to get rid of.‎ ‎70. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. The necessity of public intervention. B. The education of abused children.‎ ‎ C. The treatment of psychological problems. D. The effect of good family relationship.‎ 第五部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ Definitions of literature have varied over time, in fact, it is a “culturally relative definition”, once in Western Europe, literature indicated all books and writing. During the Romantic period, it began to refer to “imaginative” literature. Nowadays literature is seen as a term used to describe written or spoken material, including all the following.‎ Poetry uses rhythmic qualities of language to bring out meanings in addition to, or in place of, unimaginative surface meaning. Poetry has traditionally been - 18 -‎ ‎ distinguished from prose by its being set inverse（颠倒）; prose is cast in sentence, poetry in line.‎ Novel is typically written in a narrative（叙事）style and presented as a book. Novels tell stories, in which the characters and events are usually imaginary. The novel has been a part of human culture for over a thousand years, although its origins are somewhat debated. Regardless of how it began, the novel has remained one of the most popular and treasured examples of human culture and writing. It remains an essential part of the literary cultures of nearly all societies around the world.‎ Novella is classified as “Too short to be a novel，too long to be a short story”. There is no precise definition in terms of word or page count. Literary prizes and publishing houses often have their own arbitrary limits, which vary according to their particular intentions.‎ A short story is different from novels or novellas in that the plot is usually tied to one single chain of events. Because the reader must identify with a character quickly to become engaged, the tale is often told from the chief character’s point of view.‎ A drama refers to a play for the theatre，television or radio. It generally consists of chiefly dialogue between characters. It also uses dance to convey their message. Dramas usually aim at dramatic performance rather than at reading. In theater, a drama is presented by actors to an audience.‎ Good literary works depend on literary techniques. A literary technique can be used by authors in order to improve the written framework of a piece of literature, and produce specific effects.‎ Literary techniques include a wide range of approaches to crafting a work. The ability to let readers know what might happen in the future in an indirect way is possible through the technique foreshadowing（伏笔）. The practice of representing objects and qualities as human beings in literature is personification（拟人）. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas.‎ Literature - 18 -‎ Definitions of literature Definitions of literature have kept (71) __________ all the time.‎ They are connected with (72)____________.‎ Among them are “books and writing”, “ ‘imaginative’ literature” and “written or spoken material”.‎ ‎(73)_________ of literature Poetry, with rhyme, uses unusual word order in lines, which may be a barrier to see what it (74)____________. ‎ A novel takes the form of a book, talking about what is (75)_________ up by the writer.‎ The novella, as for length, exists (76)__________ the novel and short story.‎ A short story tells a comparatively (77)__________ story compared with novels and novellas.‎ Dramas are performed rather than read, with the ideas expressed either orally or (78) __________.‎ Literary techniques Give a warning or sign of a (79)__________ event by using the technique called foreshadowing.‎ When personification is used, something without (80)__________ is treated as if it were a human being.‎ Symbolism is the practice of representing things by means of symbols.‎ 第六部分：书面表达（25分）‎ 阅读下列短文，然后按要求写作 Euthanasia, also known as mercy killing or assisted suicide, refers to the practice of ending a person's life in a painless manner, often to relieve intractable suffering. ‎ Euthanasia is illegal in China, and debate about whether to allow the practice has raged since the country's first reported mercy killing in the 1980s. ‎ - 18 -‎ The case involved Wang Mingcheng, then aged 32, of Shaanxi province, and physician Pu Liansheng, who were convicted of the murder of Wang's mother, Xia Suwen, in1987. ‎ Xia had been diagnosed with terminal severe liver cirrhosis and ascites. Wang pleaded with doctors that his mother be given a lethal injection. ‎ In 1988, the National People's Congress (NPC) deputy Yan Renying called for euthanasia to be legalized in the 7th NPC. ‎ According to a poll conducted by Shaohai Market Investigation Co Ltd in 2003, 64.8 percent of Beijing respondents believed the practice should be legal. ‎ Chen Xingliang, a professor at the Peking University School of Law, said now is not yet the right time to legalize euthanasia in China. ‎ ‎"At the moment, it's hard to identify under what conditions euthanasia should be adopted," he said, adding that, once legalized, euthanasia could be abused as a means of murder. ‎ 写作要求：‎ 1． 以30字左右概括上文内容 2． 以120字就安乐死的利弊发表看法，内容包括：‎ ‎1）state different views on mercy killing； 2） your attitude and view ‎ ‎ ‎ - 18 -‎ 省前中国际分校2018届高二下期末考试适应性考试 英语答案 听力 BBACB ABBCA CBAAC CABAC 单选 DCBCB BACBD CDDCB 完形 ABCBA DBCAD BCDBC DBBAC 阅读 DC BAD DCAB BBADCA 任务型阅读 ‎ ‎71.varying/changing 72. culture 73. Forms/Types/Kinds/Sorts/Categories ‎ ‎74. means 75. made 76. between 77. simple ‎ ‎78. physically 79. future/coming 80. life ‎ 书面表达 This passage mainly tells us about what mercy killing is and puts forward the doubt whether it is legal to put mercy killing into practice, different people hold different opinions. ‎ Some people think that mercy killing can relieve dying patients of unbearable pain and suffering. They maintain that for these patients who can never be cured, putting the mercy-killing into practice is the best way to let them get rid of the great pain. And their family members will not have to stand the burdens economically or mentally. Others are strongly opposed to mercy killing. They argue that a doctor has no right to end a patient’s life even at the patient’s will.(They insist that people should fight for the hope and never give up life.) Therefore, they conclude that it is illegal for doctors to help the dying to end their lives. ‎ As far as I’m concerned, it’s merciful for the doctors to help these patients come to an end of their life with the mercy-killing. First, to reduce the pain of the patients is one of the doctors’ duty. Second, Everyone has the right and freedom to manage their own life, including the freedom of choosing to die as well as the ways of death. So mercy-killing should be made legal. In short, I am in favor of mercy killing.  ‎ - 18 -‎
