My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.‎ My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he often got As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.‎ When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.‎ ‎21. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.‎ ‎ A. became the best student in his class B. was interested in singing songs ‎ C. quickly finished his 4th grade lessons D. improved his grades greatly ‎22. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?‎ ‎ A. She regarded the students as members of a family.‎ ‎ B. She had special ways to help students study.‎ ‎ C. She was good at teaching football and music.‎ ‎ D. She usually made a quick reply to parents’ emails.‎ ‎23. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.‎ ‎ A. what his son studied at school B. his son once had a good teacher ‎ C. how to be a good and popular teacher D. a teacher who liked playing with students B My husband, my four-month-old 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(伸展) from the car seat.‎ One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border(边界), 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(一个土豆煎饼).‎ 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.‎ ‎24. From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.‎ A. waiter B. actor C. beggar D. worker ‎25. 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 ‎26. The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.‎ A. wasted my money B. made me very happy C. made me feel sorry D. moved me deeply ‎ C If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.‎ Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.‎ The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.‎ The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).‎ With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real ‎ “gentleman”.‎ In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?‎ ‎27. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.‎ A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride C. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying ‎28. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.‎ A. are mostly poorly managed ‎ B. provide meals for any diners C. provide free wine and charge for food ‎ D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels ‎29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour. ‎ B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.‎ C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.‎ D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.‎ ‎30. The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.‎ A. people who are dishonest ‎ B. people who often have meals in big hotels C. people who often take taxis ‎ D. people who are worthy of trust 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?‎ We all grew up hearing people tell us to“go out and get some fresh air.” 31 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.‎ ‎ 32 If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, our body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.‎ Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. 33 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients Who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 34 It gives us a great feeling of peace.‎ ‎ 35 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.‎ A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.‎ B. So what are you waiting for?‎ C. Being in nature refreshes us.‎ D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.‎ E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?‎ F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.‎ G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Joan was a nurse who worked in a children’s hospital. One evening there was a big_ 36__ at the hospital .Most of the doctors and nurses would be _37 _,but of course some had to be _38_ to look after the children, and Joan was not among the lucky ones who were_ 39_ to go to the dance.

We may use complaining as a coping mechanism when we are truly unhappy. However, there are many times when we don’t try our best and just want things to work our way. We may try to cover our faults by complaining about the unfairness of it all. These are expressive complaints where the complainer just wants to let out his/her anger or frustration, with no real intention of solving the problem. The complainer expects pity and recognition from the listeners although the results often disappoint him/her.‎ Sometimes, we use complaints as a conversation starter. Conversations that start with a complaint often have a domino effect(多米诺效应). It may cause the listener to include his/her complaints in the conversation as well, which makes you think that you are not the only one facing problems. However, your good feeling won’t last long as long as you are always focusing on the negative.‎ When complaining becomes a habit, you complain to anyone that comes around. Negativity that comes from complaining kills creativity and innovation (创新). Habitual complainers are less likely to come up with new ideas, as they are busy finding faults and discourage others from trying new things by making them feel that they won’t work. When you spend time with people who constantly complain, you are likely to view things in a negative light. This will make things worse. This can affect the way you perceive your own situation, and even the people around you.‎ Though expressing your feelings may momentarily improve your state of mind, it could sometimes have a bad effect on the listener’s state of mind. A recent study has shown that at social gatherings while ‎ people who are unhappy may join you when you play the victim at the beginning, the majority would start avoiding you because of your negativity.‎ ‎2019-2020年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题卷答案 听力 ‎1-5 BCACA 6-10 ABCAC 11-15AACAC 16-20ABCAB 阅读理解21-23DCB 24-26 CAB 27-30 CBDA 36-40 EAGCD 完形填空41-60 B C D D C A D B B C B D D A B A A C B B 语法填空：61. importance 62. wants 63.
