广东省中山市2017-2018学年高二上学期期末考试 英语试题 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Shenzhen is a shopping paradise for visitors. Following is a list of the most popular shopping areas in the city.‎ ‎◊ North Huaqiang Area The most prosperous shopping area in Shenzhen, it is home to dozens of market places for electronic products, home appliances, timepieces, clothing and jewelry. Some market places each house hundreds of shops, from flagship stores selling big brands to small boutiques where you can bargain.‎ It is also a great place to dine, with plenty of restaurants offering various Chinese cuisines and foreign brands like Pizza Hut, Hagen Daas and AijiSen.‎ ‎◊ Dongmen Area One of the oldest commercial centers in Shenzhen, this area highlights a walking street flanked by humming stores. It is a good place to buy clothes, handbags, fashion accessories, jewelry, handicrafts, toys and small electronic gadgets.‎ ‎◊ MixC Shopping Mall It is the city’s largest shopping mall and one of the most luxurious, selling clothes, cosmetics and fashion accessories. There is a large indoor ice skating rink, a movie theater and a super market selling many imported goods. You can also find quite a few foreign restaurant brands here, including Pizza Hut, Starbucks and a Japanese noodle house.‎ ‎◊ Shekou Sitting by a beautiful cove in western Nanshan District, this quiet place is frequented by many expatriates living in Shenzhen. There are stores selling antiques, collectibles, handicrafts and souvenirs, as well as bars and restaurants offering Western food.‎ ‎1. What can you do at North Huaqiang Area?‎ A. Skate. B. See a film.‎ C. Buy antiques. D. Eat Chinese food.‎ ‎2. According to the passage, where can you find a large indoor place to skate?‎ A. North Huaqiang Area. B. Dongmen Area.‎ C. MixC Shopping Mall. D. Shekou.‎ ‎3. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ A. A travel magazine. B. A museum guide.‎ C. A text book. D. A news report.‎ B A law was passed last month in San Francisco, California to protect shelter pets. The city now requires pet stores to sell dogs and cats from shelters and rescue groups only and bans the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats, and puppies under 8 weeks old, by pet stores in the city.‎ San Francisco will not be the first US city to take such a measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Austin all passed similar laws to help more rescued pets find homes.‎ ‎“Most animal lovers are not willing to keep their family pet in a dirty cage for a second — let alone a week, month or even years,’’ the San Francisco Board of Supervisors wrote. “In response, more than 200 cities and counties across the nation have banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores.”‎ Each year, shelters across the US take in more than 7 million dogs and cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). About 2.6 million of those animals don’t get adopted and are put to sleep. “There are so many shelter animals that need loving homes,’’ says the lawmaker Katy Tang.‎ Meanwhile, most dogs and cats seen in pet shop windows come from breeders who sell them to the stores. Many breeders take good care of their animals. But some breeders raise hundreds of animals at a time in dirty spaces. The animals often go without enough food or water, or proper medical treatment.‎ Tang says San Francisco’s new law is meant to send a message to any breeder who treats animals cruelly.‎ ‎4. What do we know about the new law?‎ A. It was passed last month in Los Angeles.‎ B. Puppies under 8 weeks old can be sold by pet stores.‎ C. It aimed to protect pets from shelters and rescue groups.‎ D. Pet stores can only sell non-rescue dogs and cats.‎ ‎5. Which of the following cities was not mentioned to pass the law to help rescued pets?‎ A. Chicago. B. Austin. C. San Francisco. D. Las Vegas.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “breeders” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. Sellers. B. Keepers. C. Protectors. D. Hunters.‎ ‎7. What can we infer about dogs and cats in pet stores?‎ A. Some of them lived in a poor condition before being sold to the pet stores.‎ B. Most of them are from breeders who sell them to the pet stores.‎ C. The sale of them is banned in most cities and counties across the nation.‎ D. Most of them are adopted and put to sleep.‎ C The Chinese have a saying: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life.‎ A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.‎ For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment effect.‎ Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.‎ Tea is compared to personal character. Its fragrance is not aggressive; it is pleasant, low-keyed and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white porcelain cup, you will feel peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away. It is the symbol of elegance.‎ Similarly, tea-drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Roughly, scented tea is popular ‎ in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is optimum for people in Fujian and Guangdong.‎ Notably, Yum Cha (tea drinking) is very popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Though dim sum, the true highlight of Yum Cha, is what attracts gourmets, tea is an essential part of the meal.‎ ‎8. Why does the writer use the Chinese saying in the first paragraph?‎ A. Prove tea is the last.‎ B. Express his love for China.‎ C. Explain the Chinese saying.‎ D. Show the tea’s importance.‎ ‎9. What is the goal of Chinese culture?‎ A. Develop traditional culture.‎ B. Drink as much tea as possible.‎ C. The harmonious unity of human and nature.‎ D. The combination of the east and west culture.‎ ‎10. What tea does a person from Guangdong probably like drinking according to the passage?‎ A. Green tea. B. Black tea. C. Scented tea. D. Oolong tea.‎ ‎11. Which of the followings can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Tea culture in China B. How to drink tea C. Tea-drinking habits in China D. Tea and character D The way in which people in Latin America spend their money changes from country to country. It obviously depends on the economy (经济). It’s not sensible to compare economies such as those of Argentina, Colombia or Mexico. As they are not the same, consumers spend their money in different ways. There are many articles online about consumption habits in Latin America that show statistics; however, many of them just refer to the crisis (危机) and how bad the economy is.‎ In Argentina for example, due to the fact that there aren’t many ways to get a loan (贷款) and because of their cost, Argentineans prefer to buy cars. They invest their money in electrical appliances. They also spend a good part of their salaries on leisure: going out to dinner, to the movies or to the theater.‎ In Colombia, “plata”, which is an informal word for money, is used to buy houses. It doesn’t matter if you already have one, you can always buy a second one and rent it. Cars are also a very attractive option to spend money on; however, the most important thing is a house. Some people also spend their money on education: bachelor’s degrees, master’s programs, doctorates and so on. Recently, some Colombian people have decided to spend their money on something else: surgery (手术). The most common ones are to improve their nose, to lose some weight and also to gain weight in specific areas.‎ Mexican people spend their money on houses and education as well, and some on cars after that. Nonetheless, it’s also important to mention fun and going out for dinner. Some people say that they spend lots of money in restaurants.‎ However, be aware that those are just some general consumption habits in Latin America; it doesn’t mean that people there only spend their money on those things.‎ ‎12. What is the purpose of the article?‎ A. To show how the economy influences consumption habits.‎ B. To explore consumption habits in Latin America.‎ C. To present the changes in people’s consumption habits.‎ D. To analyze why Latin American countries spend money in different ways.‎ ‎13. Why do the Argentineans prefer to buy cars?‎ A. Because cars show their social status.‎ B. Because they are inexpensive.‎ C. Because houses are too expensive for them.‎ D. Because it is convenient to travel by car in Argentina.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined phrase “doctorates” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. One of the highest degrees earned in a university.‎ B. The money you pay for being taught.‎ C. A teacher of the highest rank in a university department.‎ D. The main subject that a student studies at college or university.‎ ‎15. What can be concluded from the article?‎ A. Colombia is the most educated country in Latin America.‎ B. Colombian people prefer to spend money on cars rather than on houses.‎ C. Mexican people spend more time eating out than they spend eating at home.‎ D. People in Mexico and Colombia attach a lot of importance to education.‎ 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。‎ How to identify antique furniture An expert’s general look of a piece of furniture can tell whether it is old or not. 16 If you are interested in old furniture, see as many real antique (古董) pieces as you can. Go to museums where you are certain of the reliability of the articles. Your eye and mind can be trained to recognize the real antique.‎ As part of your tools to help determine if a piece of furniture is a real antique, carry a flashlight and tape measure. 17 Early screws (螺丝) are one-half-inch or shorter and have flat heads, flat tips and unseen threads. Older screws are difficult to turn, and may be rusted (生锈) in place. Also, the slots in screw heads were hand-cut and seldom centered; in modern machine-made screws, the slot is precisely cut across the middle of the head.‎ Look at furniture in good condition. If possible, take the piece outside. 18 Look at the entire piece — the legs, inside, bottom, top and back, including the cornice or pediment. Remove all drawers; check the drawer runners. The inside condition will reveal (泄露) repairs, remodeling and changes. Ask the owner to point out any known repairs.‎ ‎ 19 That is because wood is 80 to 90 percent water. Therefore a round table may no longer be symmetrically round. Drawers may no longer fit perfectly. Inlays will show shrinkage (收缩).‎ One becomes a good judge of antiques by a great deal of study. 20 The more you handle antiques, touch them, measure them with your eyes, rub your fingers across them and mentally photograph pieces, the quicker you’ll develop an instinct (本能) and become an expert.‎ A. Old furniture shrinks.‎ B. Condition is important.‎ C. Dirty furniture looks older.‎ D. Look closely at any screws.‎ E. This is a matter of experience.‎ F. Put theory into practical experience.‎ G. Antique furniture is difficult to identify.‎ 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。‎ There were times when I wanted to be a fashion designer, a model, or a rock star but I gave up all of them halfway.
