河南省林州市第一中学2017-2018学年高二上学期末期考试 英语试题(火箭班)‎ 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。‎ A The life of many a person could probably be changed if only someone would make him feel important. Ronald J. Rowland, who is one of the instructors of our course in California, is also a teacher of arts and crafts. He wrote us about a student named Chris in his beginning crafts class:‎ Chris was a very quiet, shy boy lacking in self-confidence, the kind of student that often does not receive the attention he deserves. I also taught an advanced class that had grown to be somewhat of a status（身份）symbol and a privilege（殊荣）for a student to have earned the right to be in it.‎ On Wednesday, Chris was diligently working at his desk. I really felt there was a hidden fire deep inside him. I asked Chris if he would like to be in the advanced class. How I wish I could express the look in Chris’s face, the emotions in that shy fourteen-year-old boy, trying to hold back his tears. “Who me, Mr. Rowland? Am I good enough?” “Yes, Chris, you are good enough.” I had to leave at that point because tears were coming to my eyes.‎ As Chris walked out of class that day, seemingly two inches taller, he looked at me with bright blue eyes and said in a positive voice, “Thank you, Mr. Rowland.”‎ Chris taught me a lesson I will never forget—everyone has the deep desire to feel important. To help myself never forget this rule, I made a sign which reads “YOU ARE IMPORTANT.” This sign hangs in the front of the classroom for all to see and to remind me that each student I face is equally important.‎ The truth is that almost all the people you meet feel themselves superior（优于）you in some way, and a sure way to their hearts is to let them realize in some subtle way that you recognize their importance, and recognize it sincerely.‎ ‎1. In Mr. Rowland’s eyes, Chris ________.‎ A. lacked ability in study B. wasn’t fairly treated C. didn’t work hard enough D. lacked interest in lessons ‎2. Which of the following is TRUE about Mr. Rowland’s advanced class?‎ A. It was hard to get into.‎ B. It lacked excellent students.‎ C. It was very large in size.‎ D. It was famous for its good discipline.‎ ‎3. On hearing Mr. Rowland’s words, Chris felt ________.‎ A. sad and worried B. embarrassed and confused C. surprised and doubtful D. calm and peaceful ‎4.

Little time was wasted before plans were made to construct another theatre. Construction of the new theatre, designed by Edward Middleton in 1857 and was completed less than a year later. The inaugural（开始的）performance at the new “Italian Opera House” on May 15, 1858 was a production of Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots. By 1892, the theatre was given its present name. They Royal Opera House of London, and productions increased, including both winter and summer seasons of opera and ballet as well as recitals.‎ Dance Hall During the years of World War I, the Royal Opera House ceased operations and the building became a storeroom for furniture. During the next World War, it was a popular dance hall. Plans to have the opera house remain a dance hall after the war were opposed by music publisher Boosey and Hawkes, who pushed to return the venue to its original purpose.‎ Making Improvements Though London’s Royal Opera House dates back to the original 1858 structure, much of the remainder of the venue is a result of broad decoration in the 1990s and a few improvements made in the 1960s. Most of the reconstruction took place between 1996 and 2000.‎ ‎ The building retained（保持）a horseshoe-shaped auditorium, just like the original. This one seats 2,268 people and consists of four lines of boxes and balconies and an amphitheatre gallery. New rehearsal and educational facilities were added as well as more public space, including Floral Hall, which used to be part of the old Convert Garden Market.‎ ‎5. What happened in the history of the Royal Opera House?‎ A. It was designed by Boosey and Hawkes.‎ B. It was replaced by the following theatre in 1732.‎ C. It was destroyed by two fires in less than 50 years.‎ D. It was fully completed in the year of 1857.‎ ‎6.

What do we know about the Royal Opera House?‎ A. It has a history of more than three hundred years.‎ B. Some facilities have been attached to the House.‎ C. Many parts of it were reconstructed 60 years ago.‎ D. The Royal Opera House is made up of five balconies.‎ C Deep in the northern chill of Iceland, just outside the arctic circle, the Hof House sits comfortably within its landscape. Built on an existing estate（房地产）, Studio Granada Architects recycled whatever materials possible from the site to be incorporated into the new residence, converting telegraph poles into a sun screen and basalt（玄武岩）pillars into stepping stones. Even the grass on the green roof came from local site leftovers after clearing way for its foundation. Designed for the extreme weather conditions of the Skagafjöreur Fjord, the Hof House relies on passive solar design, geothermal（地热的）heating, and some pretty hefty（厚重的）concrete walls.‎ The Hof House’s outside cedar walls hug the massive concrete structural walls and will age gracefully with the passing seasons. The hexagonal（六角型形的）shape formed by slices of the ‎ recycled basalt pillars are repeated inside, bringing a continuity of design from the outside in. Geothermal heating comes up from the ground, warming the stone floors and providing heat and electricity throughout the house. The remaining energy needs are provided by hydroelectric power. The windows are oriented to not only capture the Southern sun, but also to create a frame for the magnificent surroundings of the cliff islands of Drangey and Málmey and the hills of Tórearhöfei.‎ Studio Granada’s Hof House has been nominated for and awarded a number of prizes for its design, including the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture: the Mies van der Rohe Award for 2015.‎ ‎8. The paragraph tell us that ________.‎ A. The Hof House has won a number of prizes for its design B. The Hof House was bought and is owned by Studio Granada Architects C. The Hof House’s outside walls are made of concrete and basalt pillars D. The Hof House is quite far from the cliff islands of Grangey and Málmey ‎9.

Meituan.com, a group-buying site and consumer review service Dianping.com, also stopped the price war and joined hands with each other amid pressure from investors.‎ But according to Hu, the difference from these industries where companies function as an online platform, is that Mobike is deeply involved in the whole industry chain, from bicycle design to manufacturing, and it now owns and operates more than 5 million bicycles.‎ ‎“It is almost impossible to merge two bike-sharing companies simply by integrating their smartphone apps. Also the products and operating efficiency vary significantly,” Hu said.‎ Mobile and Ofo are locked in a stiff competition for supremacy at both home and abroad. Mobike, backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd, said it now has a presence in 130 cities across China, in the UK, Singapore and Japan and it is seeking to march into 200 cities by the end of this year.‎ Mobike processes 25 million daily trips at peak times, but it does not provide details of its revenue（收入）.‎ Counting on Didi and Ant Financial, the nation’s top e-payment provider, as investors, Ofo also announced plans to enter 20 countries, and the number of the shared bicycles Ofo put on the market is expected to reach 20 million by the year-end.‎ ‎12. What do we know about Mobike?‎ A. Dai Wei is an investor of Mobike.‎ B. It now has a presence in Korea.‎ C. It has revealed its annual income.‎ D. It is deeply involved in the whole industry chain.‎ ‎13. According to the passage, Ofo is backed by ________.‎ A. Dianping B. Meituan C. Didi and Ant Financial D. Tencent Holdings Ltd ‎14. The underlined word “supremacy” in Para. 7 means “________”.‎ A. the level that is considered to be acceptable B. a change that is caused by an event, action, etc C. an award that is given to a person D. the position in which one is more powerful or advanced than anyone else ‎15. What can serve as the best title for the passage?‎ A. Mobike rules out merger with ofo B. Mobike is seeking to march into 200 cities C. Mobike processes 25 million daily trips at peak times D. Hu Weiwei—founder and president of Mobike Technology Co Ltd 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。‎ There’s a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments in life. In fact, it’s possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments.‎ ‎ 16 And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sad, frustrated or confused.‎ ‎ 17 The 3 Cs are changes, challenges and choices. We call the person who handles the 3 Cs the best happy and well adjusted.‎ Here are 3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the 3 Cs or changes, challenges and choices.‎ Learn to think with your eyes and ears.‎ When you learn how to think with your eyes, we call that observation and when you learn how to think with your ears, we call that hearing. Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying.‎ The same goes with listening. It only requires ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they don’t say. 18 All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.‎ ‎ 19 ‎ The people who learn to make the best life adjustments cultivate the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to sweat the small stuff（为小事担心）. They remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts（直觉）. The more you do that, the more they will work for you.‎ Worry tends to ruin your God-given instincts. Notice people who can go with the flow and you’ll find a person with sharp instincts.‎ Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices.‎ If you can keep an attitude of preparation, you’ll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments. What kind? The kind that can see you through problems, setbacks and challenges. As the saying goes, “ 20 ” That’s the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!‎ A. Learn to go with the flow.‎ B. You shouldn’t just listen to what pleases you.‎ C. If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.‎ D. We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy.‎ E. Reading‎ body language and voice inflection can help you listen between the lines.‎ F. The best you can do is make adjustments along the way in order to hit a moving target.‎ G. Whatever your stage in life, age or financial level, everyone will face what I call the 3 Cs.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，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。‎ About twenty years ago, Jan Carlon had just been named the CEO of Scandinavian Airlines.

I had no idea 41 we could spend our Christmas happily or not. Sometimes we were fed up 42 doing the same things during Christmas.‎ There was a knock on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to welcome us with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a package placed on the porch（门廊）. Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather, as a result 43 we had missed a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.‎ Then, 44 (invite) to share a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, we gladly went to their house and had a Christmas meal with Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their guest—a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area. Ernie said, “We 45 (live) here since we moved here thirty years ago. And we will continue living here because it is such a nice community here.”‎ This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The distance and 46 (occupy) with much work just made things too difficult. Knowing that sense of Christmas isolation（孤立）all too well, we thought what we should do was to try to round up some other folks who were alone in the holidays.‎ As we know, lonely people are all around us, but most of us seldom notice them. 47 (general) speaking, there are fewer and fewer poor people in the world. But there are still 48 good many people suffering from serious 49 (starve). We should have mercy on them and help them out. They are supposed to be cared about. Just take a look around you.
