黑龙江省大兴安岭漠河县第一中学2019-2020学年 高二上学期期中考试英语试卷 I. 阅读理解：（共 20小题，每小题2分，满分 40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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ A The Healthy Habits Survey (调查) shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.‎ ‎1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?‎ ‎● Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.‎ ‎● Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.‎ ‎2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?‎ ‎● Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.‎ ‎● Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.‎ ‎3. How often do you think about fighting germs?‎ ‎● Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.‎ ‎● Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.‎ ‎1. What is found out about American seniors?‎ A. Most of them have good habits.‎ B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.‎ C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.‎ D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.‎ ‎2. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands ________.‎ A. twice a day B. three times a day C. four times a day D. eight times a day ‎3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. We should keep from touching our faces.‎ B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.‎ C.

Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough. ‎ Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. "This isn't family," he replied, "though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together. "‎ They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. "I should have kept in touch." He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time. "But we used to find the time," he said. "Take a look." He handed the letter over to me. ‎ The first sentence "I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it. " reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said, "Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that", I found myself nodding in agreement. ‎ We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph. "So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you. " And it was ended with "Your Old Friend, Tom."‎ ‎"I thought your friend's name was Ed," I said. ‎ ‎"I'm Tom," he explained. "It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner. " His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with ‎ a handkerchief. ‎ When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it. ‎ ‎4. Who wrote the letter?‎ A. Tom. B. Old Ed. ‎ C. The author. D. The driver's grandchild. ‎ ‎5. It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted ____________. ‎ A. missing Ed's funeral B. moving away from his neighborhood C. forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards D. not being able to keep in touch with Ed ‎6. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the author of the passage ____________. ‎ A. often failed to write to his friends B. had no intention to write to his friends C. had many great moments with his friends D. was good at expressing feelings to his friends ‎7. What message does the passage probably try to convey?‎ A. Comfort your friends when they are feeling down. ‎ B. Life is unpredictable so live each day as if it were your last. ‎ C. Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words. ‎ D. Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships. ‎ C Salt intake has been on the decrease in China since 2000, but it currently is still nearly twice the amount recommended by the World Health Organization （WHO），a new study said Tuesday.‎ The study, published in the U. S. journal JAMA, was based on total diet surveys in 2000 and 2009 -2011 in 12 of China's 31 mainland provinces, covering at least 46 percent of the Chinese population.‎ The researchers found the average dietary salt consumption （消耗量）of Chinese residents decreased by 22. 2 percent, from 11.8 grams per day in 2000 to 9. 2 grams per day in 2009.‎ ‎"If we continue on the current pace, it's possible for China to achieve the target proposed by the World Health Organization to reduce average daily salt consumption by 30 percent by 2025, ”‎ ‎ lead author Yongning Wu of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, told Xinhua.‎ But simply weighing dietary salt intake underestimated （低估）sodium （钠）consumption in China, Wu noted.‎ When taking salt from soy sauce （酱油）, processed foods and pickled （腌制的）vegetables into account, sodium intake in China in the studied years decreased just by 12. 3 percent, from 6. 4 grams per day to 5. 6 grams per day, he said.‎ ‎“ This rate is not optimistic, ”said Wu.‎ The WHO recommends that people should consume less than five grams of salt, or two grams of sodium per day.‎ ‎“ Although average salt consumption of Chinese residents fell a lot during the 10 years, it's still far from the ideal sodium intake，” Wu said.‎ Rising occurrence of high blood pressure and other chronic diseases also indicated that China needed to strictly control and continuously reduce salt intake.‎ A study published in the U. S. journal The New England Journal of Medicine in 2014 showed that about 1.65 million heart --- related deaths per year worldwide can be caused by high sodium consumption.‎ 8. What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Chinese eating less salt, but still too much.‎ B. Eating more salt leads high blood pressure.‎ C. How much salt should be consumed every day.‎ D. A new study about salt consumption of Chinese residents.‎ ‎9. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. The study in the U. S. journal only depended on 46% of the Chinese population.‎ B. The average dietary salt intake of Chinese residents was 9. 2 grams per day in 2000.‎ C. It's likely to reach the amount recommended by WHO at present pace by 2025.‎ D. Only weighing dietary salt intake estimated sodium consumption in China.‎ ‎10. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Soy sauce. B. Boiled eggs. ‎ C.Processed foods. D. Pickled vegetables ‎11. What can you infer from the passage?‎ A. The WHO advises people to consume less than thirty five grams of salt per week.‎ B High sodium consumption has led to about 1.65 million heart - related deaths in China.‎ C. High blood pressure has nothing to do with the amount of taking in salt.‎ D. Chinese eating salt is higher than any other country in the world.‎ D It was once thought that air pollution affected only the areas immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating “a greenhouse effect”, holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.‎ Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate (废气排到空中而形成的微粒、颗粒) matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.‎ ‎12. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ________.‎ A. caused widespread damage in the countryside B. affected the entire eastern half of the United States C. had damaging effects on health D. existed merely in urban and industrial areas ‎13. As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author ________.‎ A. shares the same view with the scientists B, is uncertain of its occurrence C. rejects it as being ungrounded D. thinks that it will destroy the world soon ‎14. The underlined word “offset” in Para. 2 could best be replaced by “________”.‎ A. slip into B. make up for C. set up D. catch up with ‎15. It can be learned from the passage that ________.‎ A. lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster B. raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth C. almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade D. the world’s temperature will remain constant(永恒的，不变的)in the years to come 七选五: 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。‎ Practising speaking is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of learning English .
