2017-2018学年辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学高二上学期期中考试英语试题

沈阳铁路实验中学2017-2018学年度上学期期中考试 高 二 英 语 测 试 题 第一部分 (共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)‎ A Grandpa's hobby was making birdhouses. He always said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasn't sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses.‎ Grandpa's shop was full of welloiled and carefullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something.‎ It wasn't too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was like being a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.‎ The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpa's hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didn't coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last.‎ Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it. It had to be done just right, after all.‎ The birdhouses were a great way to learn about woodworking, hard work, taking care of what you have, and about birds. The best thing about building birdhouses was that Leigh spent some time with Grandpa.‎ ‎1．What's the best title for the text?‎ A．Longlasting Birdhouses B．Birdhouses Making C．Grandpa's Birdhouses D．Birdhouses, Home for Birds ‎2．What did Leigh value most?‎ A．Listening to Grandpa's advice. B．Helping Grandpa on his birdhouses.‎ C．Learning about woodworking and birds. D．Spending some time with Grandpa.‎ ‎3．We can learn from the text that Grandpa ________.‎ A．lived a very hard life B．was a very good carpenter C．didn't care about cleaning up D．kept thousands of birds B As a mom who had already lost her son, a Houston nurse became concerned when she heard about the popular Netflix show 13 Reasons Why. By then her 15-year-old daughter had already been attracted to it. In the show, the main character feels hopeless and kills herself.‎ Mental health experts believe that the show's messages on suicide are dangerous. Educators have warned parents that it glamorizes the idea of suicide and could lead to an increase in imitation among students. They’re worried about children watching it alone without parents beside them. Employees from some elementary and middle schools have seen an increase in self-harm among students since the show began.‎ Netflix believed that the show has helped bring up important conversations in many families. Though some parents loved the show, for the nurse’s family, it was a disaster. Her daughter has been suffering from depression since her brother’s death. With treatment, things got better until she watched the series. “If I’d known about the show beforehand I would have monitored her Netflix account,” said the nurse. “If kids have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, I don’t think they need to watch it. ”‎ The show’s creators said they did make part of the show painful to watch because they wanted to make it clear that there is nothing worthwhile about suicide. Before its release, a producer sought the support of the JED Foundation, a teen suicide prevention group. “I think they were looking for us to say it was a great educational tool, or that they handled the issues in a psychologically helpful way,” said a medical officer. The group issued a guide about the show, advising people who choose to watch it to view it with someone else and to take breaks between episodes (剧集).‎ ‎4. What does the underlined word “glamorizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Makes something seem more attractive. B. Makes something become more strange.‎ C. Makes something become more fearful. D. Makes something seem more touching.‎ ‎5. What do we know about the nurse?‎ A. She’d known about the TV show before her daughter watched it.‎ B. She didn’t suggest teens with self-harm thoughts watch the show.‎ C. The show has helped improve her family relationship.‎ D. She has been monitoring her daughter’s Netflix account.‎ ‎6. The creators may agree that the show ________.‎ A. includes dangerous messages B. encourages self-harm C. is educational and helpful D. is pleasant to watch ‎ ‎7. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A TV show that caused discussion. B. The story of a mom and her daughter. ‎ C. An educational TV show. D. Some common teen problems.‎ C Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.‎ Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boatlike shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,”Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”‎ A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9yearold girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67yearold female.‎ A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.‎ ‎“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.‎ ‎“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”‎ ‎8．For what purpose did the students take part in the race?‎ A．To go across the lake to school. ‎ B．To test their balance on the water. ‎ C．To pass Professor Canaves' class.‎ D．To win the prize money of $500.‎ ‎9．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.‎ B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.‎ C．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.‎ D．Most students finished the class assignment successfully.‎ ‎10．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．Professor Canaves attaches importance to handson learning experience.‎ B．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.‎ C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.‎ D．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.‎ ‎11．The purpose of the passage is to ________.‎ A．show his approval of the unique teaching style ‎ B．report an interesting assignment ‎ C．inspire teachers to be more creative ‎ D．encourage more people to take part in the race D Sometimes “you” doesn’t mean “you”, a new study finds.‎ People often say “you” to make it easier to talk about a negative personal experience. For example, people may say “You win some, you lose some.” when they have just failed at a task. By using “you” instead of “I”, they explain that failure can happen to anyone. The “you” here used to refer to people in general rather than a specific audience is called “generic-you”.‎ Researchers conducted a series of experiments, asking 2,500 people to write about personal experiences and answer questions. In one experiment, a group of participants were asked to write about a negative personal experience and another group of participants were asked to write about a neutral personal experience. Researchers noted that people in the negative group used the ‘‘generic-you” more in their responses.‎ When they use “you” to describe the event, it allows them to move beyond the negative experience and helps them feel better.‎ In another experiment, all participants were asked to write about a negative experience. One group focused on lessons they had learned, while another group wrote about the emotions they felt. Researchers found that people who focused on lessons used “you” more than those who focused on emotions. Besides, the people who used “you” said they felt further away from the event than those who used “I”. This suggests that “generic-you” is a way for people to give meaning to an experience.‎ Researchers concluded that the “generic-you” provides a way to normalize one’s negative experiences and find meaning from personal experiences.‎ ‎12. When people say “You win some, you lose some.”, failure actually happened to __________.‎ A. the listener ‎ B. anyone ‎ C. the speaker D. nobody ‎13. Which of the following is an example of “generic-you”?‎ A. Do you believe it? ‎ B. When will you be ready to go?‎ C. Treat others as you hope they will treat you.‎ D. You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.‎ ‎14. In the first experiment, the “generic-you” _________.‎ A. helps overcome a negative situation B. is only used in a negative situation C. helps leave good impressions on others D. is only used in a neutral situation ‎15. What do we know about the second experiment?‎ A. “Lessons” group used “you” less than “emotions” group.‎ B. People tend to use “you” to explain lessons they've learned. ‎ C. “Emotions” group was less affected by negative experiences.‎ D. People never use “you” to express personal feelings.‎ 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。E=AB，F=AC，G=AD Ever since college, it has been harder and harder to meet and keep friends. Here are five secrets to making lifelong friends.‎ Say, “Yes”. When your friend calls, pick up. Get a message? Call back. If it’s texting, respond in time if at all possible. 16 It takes time and energy to build a deep and lasting connection. So put in the time and say, “Yes,” as much as you can. If you have made many plans and often find yourself saying, “No,” to invitations from friends, reassess (重新评估) your primary things and clear some time and space for your social connections.‎ Bring a gift. Did you know that some people’s main love language is gifts? The cost of the gift ‎ doesn’t matter much. 17 If you’re far away, sending a package is a super sweet way to reach your friends over the miles. If you’re going to dinner, bring some flowers or a bottle of wine. When you’re thoughtful and generous toward your friends, you’ll be the one that they want to stick around.‎ Get curious. 18 Ask questions about your friends’ life, their dreams and desires, and their struggles. And instead of jumping in to fix their problems for them, try asking clear questions and listen to their process as they figure things out for themselves.‎ Share something weak. If you’re too scared to tell your friend how you truly feel, you’re not allowing your friendship to mature to the next level. 19 We can only develop a deep and lasting connection if we’re able to share our true thoughts and feelings.‎ ‎20 If you feel there’s something wrong, talk about it. Most often, there’s been some sort of miscommunication and by bringing it up, you can solve it quickly before too much upset builds.‎ A. When invited over, go.‎ B. Provide a service.‎ C. Communicate when there’s trouble.‎ D. But it really is the thought that counts.‎ E. Maybe you need help moving, or a ride to the airport.‎ F. Being curious and listening to others are typical of a good friend. ‎ G. Instead, be brave and be willing to risk the friendship.‎ 第二部分　完形填空(共20小题；每小题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中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When our selfconfidence is low, we sometimes tend to believe what others think of us.

It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was like being a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.”可知，爷爷能够把木板切成准确的长度，能用钻打孔以让螺丝进入，制作鸟笼最精彩的部分是把所有的模板组装在一起。由此可推知，爷爷是一个好的木匠(carpenter)。‎ ‎4-7.
