大连市2017～2018学年度第二学期期末考试试卷 高二英语 命题人：林红 王慧慧 刘贽慧 校对人：林红 第I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 ‎ Best Fall Marathons in the ‎U.S.‎ ‎ OSt. George Marathon ‎ When: October 5，2017‎ ‎ Where: ‎St. George‎, ‎Utah ‎ Marathon begins in the grand Pine Valley mountains and descends（下降）nearly ‎2600 feet through scenic southwest Utah, to the beautiful Worthern‎ ‎Park. The all-the way downhill and cool weather make for some fast race times. Runners are also treated to breath-taking scenery on the course and a unique finisher-s medal.‎ ‎ ●Bank of America Chicago Marathon ‎ When: October 8．2017‎ ‎ Where: ‎Chicago‎, ‎Illinois ‎ The Marathon is a flat, fast marathon, so it’s a great one to do if you've never run a marathon or you're trying to run your fastest time ever. Additionally, the course offers a scenic tour of the Windy City as it passes through numerous(许多的)diverse neighborhoods and dozens of local and historic landmarks.‎ ‎ ●Mount Desert Island Marathon ‎ When: October 15, 2017‎ ‎ Where: Bar Harbor, ‎Maine ‎ With its breath-taking, fantastic scenic course, the Marathon has been called the ‎“Big Sur Marathon of the East". Race organizers also call it "America-s Best Little Road Race". Indeed, race participants agree that the race-s natural beauty and small town feel is worth the numerous hills you climb and descend.‎ ‎ ●Philadelphia Marathon ‎ When: October 21， 2017‎ ‎ Where: ‎Philadelphia‎, ‎Pennsylvania ‎ If you're looking for a big city marathon experience, but don-t want to deal with too many participants, the Marathon may be a good choice for you. The race starts at 8:‎ ‎30 am on Saturday and its course treats you to historic landmarks like the Liberty Bell,‎ as well as the natural beauty of scenic sections along the Schuylkill‎ ‎River.‎ ‎1. What is special about St. George Marathon?‎ ‎ A. It is held on a weekend.‎ ‎ B. It offers finishers a medal.‎ ‎ C. It belongs to a fast marathon.‎ ‎ D. It shows participants landmarks.‎ ‎2. Which marathon is probably the most appealing to first-time marathoners?‎ ‎ A. Bank of America Chicago Marathon.‎ ‎ B. Mount Desert Island Marathon.‎ ‎ C. Philadelphia Marathon.‎ ‎ D. St. George Marathon.‎ ‎3. What do the four marathons have in common?‎ ‎ A. They are intended for the youth.‎ ‎ B. They make you get a feel for history.‎ ‎ C. They expose you to beautiful scenery.‎ ‎ D. They take place in or around large cities.‎ ‎ B ‎ The Crocodile Hunter was probably the most loved conservationist that this world has ever known. In 2006 my dad came up to me and told me that the Crocodile Hunter was dead. I thought that it was a big joke. However, I soon found that it was all very real. He was my favorite television character and really the only conservationist that I really liked to watch.‎ ‎ Steve Irwin was a true Australian. He was born into a family of conservationist so I think that it was only natural that he would follow in his parents' footsteps. The first time he wrestled a crocodile, he was nine years old (under his father- s supervision of course) and he soon went on to capture crocodiles that ended up in over populated areas.‎ He did his work for free with the agreement that all the crocodiles that he captured could be taken to the Australia Zoo (a family owned zoo).‎ ‎ He started to appear on television and that was when he started to win the hearts and minds of the people. His love and enthusiasm for the animals he worked with soon won the public over.‎ ‎ One thing that I always greatly appreciated about him was the fact that he would tell about the animal. Instead of going into how the crocodile or whatever evolved over millions of years and so on, he would point out interesting features and then release him back into the wild. The whole time he would actually entertain you, not bore you like so many of the television programs on animals.‎ ‎ Since his death, there have been many things done in his honor, but I believe that what we can do to best remember him and what he lived for would be to love and take care of the natural world around us.‎ ‎4. What does the underlined word "it" in the first paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. The story told by the father.‎ ‎ B. The joke about hunting.‎ ‎ C. The death of the Hunter.‎ ‎ D. The speech on TV.‎ ‎5. According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that _ .‎ ‎ A. Steve Irwin hunted crocodiles to protect people ‎ B. Steve Irwin-s family guided him to be a conservationist ‎ C. Steve Irwin captured crocodiles for his family owned zoo ‎ D. Steve Irwin wrestled a crocodile after he was ten years old ‎6. Steve Irwin won the public over because .‎ ‎ A. he was enthusiastic about the job ‎ B. he released crocodiles back into the wild ‎ C. he taught people about crocodiles on TV ‎ D. he took crocodiles away from over populated areas ‎7. What is the author-s attitude towards what Steve Irwin did?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Uncaring.‎ ‎ C ‎ Reality TV has been charged with making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of its shows could be good for children.‎ ‎ Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She said programs which showed overweight people, such as The Biggest Loser, seemed to be putting children off eating junk food. "The appearance of overweight people on TV is making children say' I don't want to grow up like that'. "‎ ‎ The research was part of Ms Hawkins paper on how schools improve health. She spoke t0 92 children, aged from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We-re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.‎ ‎ "Earlier studies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children," Ms Hawkins said, "but messages within TV programs had not been explored. "Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs.‎ ‎ The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey We- re Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their family's habits. Ms Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents' duty to lead by example.‎ ‎8. What did Hawkins think of reality TV?‎ ‎ A. It may let kids know more about science.‎ ‎ B. The TV shows may let kids form bad habits.‎ ‎ C. It may have a bad influence on kids studies.‎ ‎ D. Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.‎ ‎9. In what way did Hawkins get her findings?‎ ‎ A. Doing experiments.‎ ‎ B. Studying science fiction.‎ ‎ C. Interviewing the students.‎ ‎ D. Comparing previous studies.‎ ‎10. According to the children, . played an important part in their health behavior?‎ ‎ A. school rules B. family members C. their friends D. scientific report ‎11. What is the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. Reality TV Can Be Good. B. Eating Habits of Children.‎ ‎ C. Children-s Health Behavior. D. The programs Make the Nation Silly.‎ ‎ D ‎ When dogs get lonely,they like keeping themselves busy by making a big mess around the house, and that is really unacceptable to their owners. That's why one German radio host,who also happens to be a dog owner came up with the idea for a program designed to relax dogs and make them feel like they aren-t alone.‎ ‎ When 30-year-old Stephan Stock, a radio host at Radio Ton,in Germany's ‎Baden-‎ Wurttemberg‎ region, announced the creation of a program aimed at dogs, everyone thought it was just a clever April Fools trick. However, it wasn-t. For the past three and a half months, Hallo Hasso has been pumping out music for lonely dogs both on the radio and online.‎ ‎ Stock says he was inspired to create the special program by his pet dog, Layla, who would sometimes get so bored when left alone that she would keep herself busy by making a big mess around the house. He and his colleagues at Radio Ton started researching what kind of music usually appeals to dogs, and learned that it should have as little drum and electric guitar as possible, and should be very slow.‎ ‎ “It's not about keeping dogs quiet, "Stock said about Hallo Hasso. "It,s more about the dog feeling he's not alone. ”He adds that Layla isn-t as restless since listening to Hallo Hasso, and has become relatively quiet, even letting him take a nap ‎（打盹儿）to the music from the radio.‎ ‎ Hallo Hasso is only available in Baden-Wurttemberg, via radio, but if you'd like to see if it can calm your four-legged pet, the program can also be accessed online here.‎ Just press the "play" arrow at the top of the page and let the music work its magic. If this doesn-t work, there's always Dog TV.‎ ‎12. When dogs get lonely, they usually____.‎ ‎ A. sit quietly B.lie lonely ‎ C. bite the things around D. make the house untidy ‎13. How did people think of Stock's announcement of a program for dogs?‎ ‎ A. They were interested in it. B.They thought highly of it.‎ ‎ C. They took it seriously. D. They took it as a joke.‎ ‎14. What can we know about Hallo Hasso from the text?‎ ‎ A. It-s based on Stock's own life experience.‎ ‎ B. Its purpose is to keep dogs quiet.‎ ‎ C. It has no limit on music types.‎ ‎ D. It-s accessible only by radio.‎ ‎15. Where is the passage most probably taken from?‎ ‎ A. In a textbook. B.On a website.‎ ‎ C. In a newspaper. D. In a pet magazine.‎ 第二节 （共5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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Loving others is easy, but loving yourself can be one of the hardest things in this world.
