乌鲁木齐市第四中学2018～2019学年度下学期阶段性诊断测试 高二年级英语期中试题 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 Starting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same time nerve-wracking. You may worry about all these things: what classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you? But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever.‎ On my first day of high school, I asked a senior where my class was, and he told me it was "on the fourth floor, next to the pool". I found out five minutes later that we didn't even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besides that event, I didn't have any trouble with the older kids.‎ I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school. I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550, so being exposed to so many new people was a big change. Getting involved in clubs, sports, music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade. It’s always useful to have an upperclassman friend!‎ The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve crammed（突击式学习） on the night before and got an A, but now I don't remember anything. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between "AP Chemistry” and “Racquet Sport”, the first will prove to be more useful!‎ ‎1. What does the underlined word "nerve-wracking" in Paragraph 1 mean?________‎ A. Worrying B Boring. C. Astonishing D. Relaxing.‎ ‎2.

Which of the following is TRUE about the author's advice on high school life?‎ A Making as many upperclassmen friends as possible B. Taking an active part in various after school activities.‎ C.

In writing the text, the author intends to________.‎ A. tell others his first-day experience at high school C describe what can be learnt at high school B. express his opinions on high school education D. share his life and thoughts at high school B Ruffles（褶边）add a feminine touch to an outfit.

I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.‎ When I joined the team freshman year, I didn't realize what I was getting into.‎ ‎ Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was a hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.‎ See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn't only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature( 幼稚的) and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed an operation on my arm and at least five months to recover.‎ After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing football in the college has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men, who will succeed in life.‎ ‎9. What is the text mainly about?________‎ A. How the author dislikes the game of football. ‎ B. When the author began to play football.‎ C. How the author has changed his attitude to football. D. What sport the author likes best.‎ ‎10. The author thinks football is________‎ A. just a game B of a mental sport C hard to be out-of-date D. not worth his effort ‎11. In the third paragraph, the phrase "getting in shape "probably means “________”‎ A. becoming physically fit B. designing the playground ‎ C losing weight D. measuring the track ‎ D Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed ‎ in the water for perhaps as much as 3, 000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.‎ The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化） took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots (根), and some had got treelike forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.‎ ‎12. The main idea of the first paragraph is_______.‎ A life on land probably began 430 years ago B. the first animals on land came from oceans C. there wouldn't be animals without plants D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy ‎13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?_______‎ A. Algae has existed for more than 430 million years.‎ B. It is impossible that algae might be earliest plant on land.‎ C Plants get food from animals in the oceans ‎ D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land ‎14. According to the passage, ______appeared earlier than_______.‎ A apples; oranges B oranges: apples C oranges; roses D algae; wheat ‎15. In which part of the magazine can you most probably find this passage?‎ A technology B science C health D travel 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do you constantly use the computer, whether for learning or entertainment?
