英语卷·2018届海南省海南中学高二上学期期中考试（2016-11）

海南中学2016-2017学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题 第一卷 二、阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节（共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Something new showed up on my father's front porch this spring ― a nest. A robin (知更鸟) decided that the top of a corner post (角柱) just under the metal roof would be the perfect place to build her new home. Slowly she started to build it stick by stick. My father noticed what she was doing and tossed her work back off the porch, hoping that she would take the hint and choose a nearby tree instead .The robin was determined，however, and kept returning to rebuild her nest again and again. Finally，my father gave in and let her finish her work. When it was done the robin laid her eggs and settled into her warm, dry, safe home.‎ A few weeks later three tiny heads suddenly emerged over the corner of the nest. I had never seen baby birds so close up before. I watched in wonder as the little heads tilted back and the ugly beaks stretched wide to receive the food that was dropped into them. I knew that their mom would continue her work every day, lovingly feeding her babies until they were grown, beautiful, and ready to fly. ‎ Watching those baby birds made me think about how so many of us huddle (蜷缩) in our own nest day after day waiting for the time when we will be ready to fly. So many of us look over the edge terrified to make the first leap to live and to love. So many of us spend our hours dreaming of soaring in the clouds while we sit scared on a pile of sticks.‎ We aren't meant to hide in our nests, though. We are born to fly. We are born to soar into the sky on the wings of love and joy. We are born to go higher and higher with every good thought we think and every kind act we do. We just have to make that first leap. Don’t let the birds have all the fun then. You are ready. Live well, fly high, and help a few others out of their nests along the way. Keep your spirit in the heavens even while your feet are here on Earth. ‎ 21. What does the underlined word “tossed” in the first paragraph mean______? ‎ A. held B. fastened C. knocked D. mended ‎22. The author may agree that ______. ‎ A. young men should stay with their parents and live a safe life ‎ B. young men should bravely learn to be independent ‎ ‎ C. we should learn from the robin and work every day ‎ D. compared with nature, human beings are too tiny.‎ ‎23. What is the best title for the passage? ________‎ ‎ A. Father’s Porch B. A Robin ‎ C. Watch Birds D. Ready to Fly B ‎ I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and“keeping yourself to yourself”were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.‎ However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.‎ I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat－it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.‎ Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.‎ 24. What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was ‎ travelling in Italy ?_______ ‎ A. They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake. ‎ B. They were all on the side of the gentleman. ‎ C. They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public. ‎ D. They all laughed at the author for his mistake. ‎ ‎25. According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because ‎ ‎______.‎ A. they were all strangers to each other  B. privacy was a valued tradition in England  C. everybody had their own share of privacy  ‎ D. they were too tired to speak ‎ ‎26. The purpose of the author is to tell us__________.‎ A. his traveling experience  B. the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US  C. cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness  D. how to adapt ourselves to a new culture C Answering the Community Needs of Our City ‎ The Silver City Council recognizes that citizens have certain needs. To better meet your needs, we have made several changes to community facilities in 2016. This chart shows how we have tried to make your life better. ‎ Transport ‎ ² Three stations for the suburbs have been added to the western train service. ‎ ² ‎20 new buses for the southern line were purchased in January. ‎ ² ‎50 per cent of city bus-stops have been upgraded. ‎ ² Buses to the eastern suburbs will be every 15 minutes. ‎ Communication ‎ ² ‎ Broadband cable is now available to all parts of the city. ‎ ² All of the new Government buildings are “smart”-wired for better computer service!‎ ‎ Medical Facilities ‎ ² The new state-of-the-art Nightingale Hospital was opened in June. ‎ ² To overcome a shortage of trained medical staff at Dover Hospital, 10 doctors have been employed from overseas. ‎ ² Some facilities at Station Street Hospital have been upgraded. ‎ ‎ Education ‎ ² Textbooks will be free to all primary students in 2016! ‎ ² The rent for private schools has been reduced. ‎ ‎ Protection and Security ‎ ² Extra police now patrol (巡逻 ) the tourist areas. ‎ ² ‎50 new police officers graduated in July and have taken up duties in the city area. ‎ Entertainment / Recreation ‎ ² The new Central Community Building opened in May. ‎ ² ‎5,000 new fiction books were bought for the Silver City public Library.‎ 27.

Aging is a complex and varied process that varies in how it affects different people and organs. In fact, even in one person, different organ systems “age” at different rate. ‎ At a certain point in our lives our body systems will begin to weaken. 32 . It may become more difficult for us to see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives.‎ ‎___33 . A good diet plays an important role. The amount and the type of exercise we get are another two factors. 34 . But scientists studying the aging problem want to know: Why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer.‎ ‎____35 . Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living. Physical activity may become less, but often we get better understanding of the world and ourselves.‎ What we consider the old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon.

He 36 , “My dear classmates, what 37 does the world’s river distribution have?” “All of them are not straight lines, but bent curved(弯的) lines,” his students replied together. The teacher 38 to ask, “Why are these rivers not in the shape of straight lines but so many curves?” The students began to 39 the question and expressed their different ideas. Some said that the bends(弯道) of rivers 40 the flowing length. When the flood came in summer, these bends would 41 more water. Thus people would not suffer terrible flood disaster. Others said that once the flowing length increased, the impact force on the river bed would greatly decreased and the length played an important role in 42 of river beds. ‎ After hearing what the students had discussed, the teacher made a 43 comment on the answers. He said to his students, “I am satisfied 44 your answers. What you have answered just now are all correct.” The teacher continued to 45 , “In my opinion, the reason why the rivers are in the shape of bends not in straight lines is that bends are natural states while straight lines are 46 states. When rivers run and extend far away, they will meet various obstacles, some of 47 are not possible to be got rid of. Therefore rivers have to 48 their ways, thus making many bends on the way forward. The bends help rivers avoid numerous 49 . This makes rivers finally reach the far-away sea.” At this time, the teacher 50 his topic. He continued to say, “In reality, life is also like this. When you encounter troubles, 51 , or sufferings, you should consider them a natural state in hard life. You should not be 52 or pessimistic. We should not stop going 53 . We should take bends as another normal form of advancement in journey of life. Only in this way can you reach the far-away sea of life like winding(蜿蜒的) rivers.”‎ We should remember the 54 that a long and winding road is a natural state. We should treat troubles and sufferings in good and tolerant state of mind. This is the life 55 I have gotten from the geography teacher’s lesson. ‎ ‎36.

It is really necessary for everyone to learn some first aid knowledge to help themselves and others. ‎
