安徽省亳州市涡阳县育萃中学2019-2020学年 高二学后结课考试英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）（略）‎ 第二部分 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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ A Dear Michelle,‎ My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. (咒骂)‎ I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?‎ Prisoner of a Crazy House ‎ Dear 7th Grader, ‎ I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature. While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. ‎ I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits. At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes. ‎ Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference! ‎ Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are. ‎ Michelle ‎21. The kid asks for advice on how to ______. ‎ A. make her mother change B. start a new family ‎ C. get along well with her mother D. deal with her situation ‎ ‎22. According to the passage, Michelle advises the girl to ______. ‎ A. try talking to her mother for her future ‎ B. stick to her attitude towards her mother’s some habits ‎ C. understand her mother’s habits and get used to them ‎ D. try to keep away from her mother ‎ ‎23. What does Michelle mainly express by writing back? ‎ A. Don’t worry too much about the problem. ‎ B. Many parents act terribly. ‎ C. Parents’ manners make little difference. ‎ D. The girl is not speaking for herself. ‎ B As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO). ‎ In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. ‎ Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal. ‎ Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. ‎ At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials—including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. ‎ Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities. ‎ 24. Many scholars are making efforts to ______ ‎ A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations ‎25. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to? ‎ A. Having full records of the languages. B. Writing books on language teaching. ‎ C. Telling stories about language users. D. Living with the native speakers. ‎ ‎26. What is Turin’s book based on? ‎ A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale. ‎ C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal. ‎ ‎27. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work? ‎ A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward. ‎ C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report. ‎ C Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had. ‎ Given that I teach students who are trained to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.‎ ‎“Surgery（外科手术）” , one replied. ‎ I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly ‎ willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. ‎ One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows. You can get at least 5 cm taller!” At that point, I was shocked. I am short. I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall! It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.‎ No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm（标准）. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. ‎ In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.‎ ‎28. We can know from the passage that the author works as a __________.‎ A. doctor b. model C. teacher D. reporter ‎29. According to the passage, the author believes that ___________.‎ A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever it costs B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs C. media is to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery D. it is one’s appearance instead of skill that really matters in one’s career ‎30. What does the author think of his height?‎ A. He hates to be called a short man. ‎ B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.‎ C. He just accepts it as it is.‎ D. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.‎ ‎31. The best title for the passage should be __________.‎ A. Young graduates have higher expectation B. Young graduates look to surgery for better jobs C. Young graduates’ opinions about cosmetic surgery D. Young graduates face a difficult situation in job-hunt D Thousands of teenagers need “scribes”(书记员) to help them write their exam papers because they are incapable of answering questions in ordinary writing themselves.‎ The number of requests for “ghost writers” to help pupils do exams is rising, while the number of students asking to use a word processor or computer also increased by more than 50 percent, to 21,713.‎ Experts say more scripts than ever are illegible （难以辨认的）, because the email and text generation are unable to write properly by hand. Some handwriting is a pleasure to read but an increasing minority is coming close to being illegible. Centers where examinations are held are asked to tell students the importance of writing answers that are legible. Centers might wish to consider the use of scribes or word processor in more cases —especially for those students with known handwriting difficulties.‎ Their concerns mirror those expressed by examiners, who have called for handwriting classes to be reintroduced because so many pupils cannot write longhand. They say teenagers who spend hours each week sending emails and text messages have lost the ability to work with pen and paper. As a result, a large number of exams in English could not be marked because of illegible handwriting.‎ Examinations are supposed to be a test of basic skills and, if they can’t do the basics, they shouldn’t be getting someone else to do them for them. Emails and text messaging have their place but not at the expense of basic skills. ‎ To satisfy examiners that a request for a scribe is necessary, a student must either have a physical disability, a sudden injure assessed by specialist teacher. They can have a scribe if they can prove they cannot write more than 10 words a minute.‎ ‎32. The phrase “ghost writer” refers to a person who ______. ‎ A. writes something for somebody else B. writes fantastic stories for teenagers C. is incapable of using the computer to write D. is unable to write properly by hand ‎33. To deal with the problem of handwriting, examiners suggest ______. ‎ A. considering using more scribes ‎ B. teaching handwriting classes again C. making used of word processor effectively D. sending more emails and text messages ‎34. We can infer based on the article that a scribe can help when teenagers ______. ‎ A. fail to write less than 10 word a minute B. can find someone to do writing for them C. get injured in an accident D. can make examiners become satisfied ‎35. The passage mainly tells us that ______. ‎ A. teenagers’ handwriting affects their exam results B. teenagers send too many emails and text messages C. teenagers don’t care about their exam marks D. teenagers’ handwriting in exams is too poor 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。‎ Everyone deals with stress. It is an unfortunate reality of human nature. Although stress is inevitable, there are a few steps you can take to make it a little more manageable.‎ Make a study schedule.‎ As annoying as it is to write down all of your assignments, putting what you need to get done on paper instead of keeping it in your head can be incredibly helpful. ____36____‎ Find something interesting in the material you are learning.‎ ‎____37____ When you dread doing the work for a class, it will probably take longer to do. To fix this problem, do extra research on what you are learning in class and relate it to something you are passionate about. This way, your homework will seem less like work.‎ Make time for yourself.‎ Try not to spend huge chunks of time doing nothing but studying. Taking a walk with your dogs or baking a batch of cookies will not ruin your grades. Dance to your favorite artist’s new ‎ album or catch up on your fantasy football. ____38____ Just because you have a lot of work doesn’t mean you should become a robot.‎ Ask for help.‎ Sometimes, you have to admit that you don’t understand something. ____39____ Ask a teacher or friend in your class for help as soon as you identify the source of your confusion. That way, your studying will feel more like review and less like learning something for the first time.‎ Remind yourself that life moves on. ‎ If you find yourself in a state of panic, take a deep breath and put your feelings in context. Better days are sure to come. In 10 years, you won’t remember that one bad test. You will remember, however, all of the great memories that you made in high school. ____40____‎ A. Helplessness always leads to more anxiety.‎ B. Schedule these short breaks to reward yourself. ‎ C. Don’t forget to make these memories.‎ D. Say no to things you won’t be able to handle.‎ E. Don’t keep talking about how stressed out you are.‎ F. A lack of interest makes studying more difficult.‎ G. It will stop you worrying about the lack of time you have.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ People always would ask me: “Is he a trick or a treat?”‎ You see, for me, Halloween was not just a day when I got 41. __________ .
