daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington.We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.‎ One of our stops,once we crossed the Oregon border,was at a Black Bear Diner.Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side.He was clearly untidy,without shoes and wearing worn clothing.We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door.Then something told me to go back.‎ Holding my daughter,I turned around and said to the gentleman,“Sir.Are you hungry?” He said,“Yes.” I then asked,“May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with,“Sure,I can order something myself.”‎ My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter.I told him to order whatever he wanted.The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened.I spoke before he had an opportunity to.“This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said.“Please add his order to our bill.”The manager said with a frown(皱眉),“Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly,“Thank you!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill.I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered.One fresh orange juice,one coffee,one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.‎ When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him,but that very small act just made my day.I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life,even if only for a few minutes.‎ 语篇解读

from the restaurant C.he had fired the man before D.he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。根据常识可知,那个男人看上去像是一个乞丐,饭馆经理肯定是怕他付不起饭钱,所以感到害怕。故选D项。‎ ‎24.From the passage,we can infer the man .‎ A.was thankful for their kind act B.felt ashamed and slipped away C.was hungry and ate a lot of food D.was too proud to accept their offer 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We turned to our table

and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—to the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.‎ Albert did not like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students could not ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.‎ In 1905,Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.They included one of the most important scientific documents in history.It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity(相对论)”.Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”.‎ In 1921,he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.It was given to him not for his theories of relativity,but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect(光电效应).‎ Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933.He moved to the United States to continue his research.Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940.‎ Einstein was a famous man,but you would not have known that by looking at him.His white hair was long and wild.He wore old clothes.He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work.Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand.‎ Einstein spent the last twenty-five years of his life working on what he called a “unified field theory”. He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics.However,he did not succeed.‎ Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventy-six.‎ 语篇解读 本文简要介绍了爱因斯坦的生平。‎ ‎25.What do we know about Albert Einstein in his childhood?‎ A.He was very clever.‎ B.He liked talking with people.‎ C.He was curious about new things.‎ D.He was good at inventing new things.‎ 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段关于爱因斯坦对罗盘产生好奇的故事可以推断出,他对新事物充满好奇心,因此C项正确。‎ ‎26.What’s the right order of the following events about Albert Einstein?‎ a.He became a citizen of the United States.‎ b.He won the Nobel Prize in Physics.‎ c.He put forward his “General Theory of Relativity”.‎ d.He left Germany for the United States.‎ A.d,b,c,a B.d,a,c,b C.b,c,d,a D.c,b,d,a 答案 D 解析 细节排序题。根据文章第三、四、五段可以得知,a、b、c、d四项发生的时间分别为1940年、1921年、1915年及1933年,因此D项正确。‎ ‎27.What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A.The life story of Albert Einstein.‎ B.The scientific discoveries of Albert Einstein.‎ C.Albert Einstein and his theories of relativity.‎ D.How Albert Einstein won great success in his life.‎ 答案 A 解析 主旨大意题。本文简要介绍了爱因斯坦的生平,因此A项最为恰当。‎ C ‎(2018•黑龙江哈六中高二期中)‎ Did you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange,but a study suggests this might be true.‎ Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform.They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score,color had no influence on the result.But if it was a close match,the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win.Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament.Again,teams wearing red won more games.‎ The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals.It had been discovered that when a male shows red on its body,it sends a signal of its power and strength.For example,in many kinds of monkey,the more the male shows off its red scars(伤疤) the more females it can attract.‎ Based on this fact,the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans,too.According to them,when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform,he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the player’s performance in the actual game.‎ Although the idea is interesting,most people don’t accept that color signals in the animal world can really be useful to humans in sports.They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples.Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.‎ 语篇解读 本文介绍了一种新的研究结论:在一场实力相近的比赛中,穿红色队服的运动员更容易获胜。但是人们对这个结论持怀疑态度。‎ ‎28.What did the scientists find out about the 2004 Athens Olympic Games?‎ A.Athletes played equally well in four sports.‎ B.Game results had a big influence on the athletes.‎ C.Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.‎ D.There was a big difference in red and blue teams’ scores.‎ 答案 C 解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第三句“But if it was a close match,the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win.”可知答案。‎ ‎29.What may the red scars of a male animal suggest?‎ A.It is a failure.‎ B.It is quite strong.‎ C.It has power over other males.‎ D.It has attracted a lot of females.‎ 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“It had been discovered that when a male shows red on its body,it sends a signal of its power and strength.”可知,红色的伤疤可能会表明这个雄性动物更强大。故选B。‎ ‎30.The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of .‎ A.shame B.pride C.danger D.weakness 答案 D 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后面的“may have a bad influence on the player’s performance in the actual game”可知,能对运动员有不好影响的肯定是一种弱势感。故选D。‎ 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。‎ ‎(2018•福建福州八县一中高二期中)‎ Today’s the day of a big test at school,and you feel awful. 31 .Maybe your muscles feel tense and you feel shaky or sweaty.You may have a case of the jitters,also known as test anxiety.‎ ‎ 32 .Performance anxiety is when a person feels worried about how they will perform,especially when it’s really important.For instance,you might feel performance anxiety when you’re trying out for the school band or for the basketball team.‎ When you’re taking a test,you might feel “butterflies”,a stomachache,or a tension headache.Some people might feel shaky,sweaty,or feel their hearts beating quickly as they wait for the test to be given out. 33 .‎ Sound familiar? 34 .Ask other people and you’ll find that just about all people—adults and other kids—feel some anxiety before a test.In fact,a small dose of anxiety can be helpful,keeping you sharp and focused.But when your symptoms take over so that you can’t function or when you’re so anxious that you feel sick,you might not be able to do it.‎ Of course,if you didn’t study for the test,you might be worried—and for good reason.That kind of anxiety isn’t as easy to tackle because even if you find a way to calm down,you still might not know what the right answers are. 35 ,you’ll be able to let your knowledge shine and score a good grade.‎ A.You’re not alone B.Surely you have test anxiety C.If you are not well prepared for the exam D.Your stomach hurts and you have a headache E.Test anxiety is actually a type of performance anxiety F.When you are prepared for the test and you get a handle on your anxiety G.A student with really strong test anxiety may even feel like he or she might pass out or throw up 答案 31.D 32.E 33.G 34.A 35.F 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节

keep good hours.Lastly,why not turn to your teachers,friends and classmates for help when things don’t work out as expected?‎ Just relax and believe in yourself.I am firmly convinced that you can make it.‎ Yours truly,‎ Li Hua 第二节 读后续写(满分25分)‎ ‎(2018•温州中学高二期中)‎ 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。‎ I have a “strange-sounding” name.I always knew when the teacher got to my name on the attendance,because of the long pause.‎ ‎“Um...Ooooozma?”‎ ‎“Is it...Ahhhzzzma?”‎ ‎“Wait,I got this.Youz-ma,right?”‎ The other kids,all named Carla,Melanie,Sammy and Geoff,would laugh secretly.I’d agree with whatever my teacher said,just to move past the annual,painful moment.It’s totally fine,though.Whatever shames you in grade school turns you into a strong adult later,so it’s all good.‎ I was shocked to learn,many years later,that my first name—Uzma,pronounced exactly as it looks—is quite common in India and Pakistan.I even know a few Uzma’s in Toronto.At least my teachers tried.When I was 12 my P.E.teacher called me “Ursula” because he couldn’t pronounce my name.Every time he called me by my new nickname,I pictured the scary octopus from Little Mermaid.For the record,if I were to give myself a more user-friendly name,it would be Caroline.To 12-year-old me,it had a great sound.‎ Many of my friends have similar stories.Amreena became “Am”,Aqeela became “Angela” and—my personal favourite—Widad Ahmed somehow changed into “Woodward Anderson”.One teacher took one look at a friend’s name and threw up his hands.“I can’t pronounce this!” he said.Her name is Ayesha.‎ Every parent I know gives the “how will this be important in school?” attitude when giving a list of baby names.For instance,“Butt” is a common South Asian last name,but in Canada it is sure to have different meaning.My own last name,at four syllables and 10 letters,is difficult to read.I drive cashiers crazy when signing receipts,holding up lines for an extra five to 10 seconds while I carefully write.‎ As a teacher,I pay attention to pronouncing names.“HAHSS-an?” I said with confidence.The class starts to laugh.“It’s Has-saaan,miss,” the students responded.No! It’s not! I want to yell back.I know how your name is pronounced!Mispronunciations(误读) happen so often that the proper pronunciation sounds wrong.‎ 注意:‎ ‎1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Yet many people stick to traditional ethnic names when it comes to their own kids. ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Do names really matter? ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 ‎ Yet many people stick to traditional ethnic names when it comes to their own kids.My own children’s names—Mustafa and Ibrahim—are three syllables each.They have good meanings and are also constantly mispronounced.But few parents pay attention to the culture differences,which will make their children be laughed at.So people should give their children names with good meanings and common characters.‎ Do names really matter?Names are important.They tie you to family,history,tradition and identity.As for myself—I was named after my mom.When choosing a baby girl name,consider the name’s length and how it will sound with the last name.Remember the nicknames and consider how her name may be regarded by her friends.But the funny meaning will make the children feel ashamed.In a word,a good name doesn’t mean people don’t have to work hard to succeed.If they ‎ want to get reputation,they have to make great efforts to realize their dreams.‎
