武威六中2018-2019学年度 第二学期第二次学段考试高二英语试卷 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 Eco-friendly Car Racer Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes,its body is created from hemp(大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet?The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University,who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry.It is sold at $41,000.‎ Pollution-sensitive Dress Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air.The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly.This dress—which is actually quite pretty—looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty.It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day,but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.‎ Eco-friendly Umbrella Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface.Although it’s changeable,you cannot replace it easily.This eco-friendly design is more flexible.It’s actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface,which can be folded,so you can put anything such as newspapers,plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.‎ Eco-friendly Moss(苔藓) Carpet It’s said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation.The Moss Carpet,created by Nguyen La Chanh,looks at getting the grass to your feet.The mat includes ball ‎ moss,island moss and forest moss.The humidity(湿度) of the bathroom makes sure that it grows well.And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.‎ ‎1.According to Paragraph 1,we can find Eco One 　　　. ‎ A.can seat one passenger and one driver B.is mainly made from some kinds of plants C.can’t be afforded by the public at present D.will take the place of the traditional car industry ‎2.Why is EPA Dress designed?‎ A.To advise people to stay at home as often as possible.‎ B.To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.‎ C.To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.‎ D.To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.‎ ‎3.Compared with traditional umbrellas,the Eco-friendly Umbrella 　　　. ‎ A.is changeable B.can be folded C.doesn’t have any surface D.is made of newspapers ‎4.Where does the text probably come from?‎ A.A personal blog. B.A health report.‎ C.An official document. D.A science report.‎ B As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal (肠的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously . But the boy died suddenly that night.     Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In time Al became an alcoholic.     As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed—his land, house, etc.‎ ‎ Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al’s death, I thought, “What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure! ”     As time went by, I began to re-value my earlier rough judgement, I knew Al’s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.     I hadn’t heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘love you, son.’ ”     Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.‎ ‎5. What directly made the author think of Al as a failure?‎ A. His losing everything and his life. B. His older son’s death.‎ C. His strong addiction to alcohol. D. His wife’s divorcing him.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from Al's son, Ernie?‎ A. His father‘s life was indeed wasted.‎ B. The love from his father made him what he was.‎ C.A great fortune must have been left to him.‎ D. He was not very kind but very loving.‎ ‎7. Which of the following changed the writer's earlier judgment?‎ A. Al was indeed very wealthy and left behind lots of material possessions.‎ B. Al was not only responsible for his son but also for his own success.‎ C. Al had been totally devoted to educating his son, Ernie.‎ D. Al's son, Ernie, grew into a kind, loving and caring person.‎ C A 1.6-meter tall robot may soon become the best friend for lonely elderly people,as Chinese scientists are making the final sprint (冲刺)toward its market launch(投放),said a senior researcher on the robot project on Saturday.‎ ‎“We are working on testing the exact functions and ways to reduce the cost in preparations ‎ for an expected market launch of the robot in two to three years,” said Li Ruifeng,a member of the project.‎ He said the team hoped to reduce the cost so that the robot can be priced at 30,000 to 50,000 yuan,which is expected to be an affordable price for most of China’s better-off families.‎ The robot has been developed with the functions of fetching food,medicine,sounding alarms in case of water or gas leakage,sending texts or video images via wireless communications,and even singing a song or playing chess to entertain its masters.‎ Li said that the robot,developed independently in China,has technology at the same level as those in western labs.‎ China set about the research of the robot in 2007,when it was listed as a national key project.It is backed by government funding(拨款).China has the world’s largest elderly population with 159 million people over 60,accounting for 12 percent of its total population.According to a survey by the Ministry of Civil Affairs,more than 10 million caregivers and nurses are needed to attend the elderly population,as most of Chinese elderly prefer to live their retired lives at home.‎ ‎8.The passage mainly talked about 　　　. ‎ A.the problems of Chinese elderly population ‎ B.the advantages of the Robot caregivers C.robot caregivers for the elderly to the market D.the government’s attention to the elderly ‎9.The underlined word “backed” in the last paragraph means 　　　. ‎ A.supported B.suggested C.controlled D.stopped ‎10.From the last paragraph we know that 　　　. ‎ A.our government pays no attention to the elderly people B.China has the world’s largest elderly population C.Chinese elderly people prefer to be looked after by robot caregivers D.robots are the best friends for the lonely elderly people ‎11.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A.Robot caregivers will appear in the market in 2 or 3 years.‎ B.Robot caregivers can help elderly people do everything.‎ C.The robot needs some technology from western labs.‎ D.The robot is expected to be bought by every person.‎ D Teens and younger children are reading a lot less or fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.‎ While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many chidren’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.‎ According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent 27 percent respectively today.”‎ The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children,ages2-8,remain largely the same.But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined,from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.‎ When it comes to technology and needing,the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading.It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading,mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.‎ The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently,compared to infrequent readers,have more books in the home,more books purchased for them,parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.‎ As the end of school approaches,and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近)ahead,parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.‎ ‎12.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?‎ A. Children's after-class activities B.Quality of children's books C.Children's reading habits D.Parent-child relationships ‎13.Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?‎ A.In paragraph 2 B. In paragraph 3‎ C. In paragraph 4 D. In paragraph 5‎ ‎14.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?‎ A.E-books are of poor quality B.It could be waste of time C.It may harm children's health D.E-readers are expensive ‎15.How should parents encourage their children to read more?‎ A.Act as role models for them B.Ask then to write book reports C.Set up reading groups for them D.Talk with their reading class teachers 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.
