市一中2018～2019学年度第二学期期中考试试题 高二英语 考试时间：100分钟；满分120分 注意：本试题分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）。考试结束后，将答题纸交回。‎ 第Ⅰ卷（满分70分）‎ 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 It’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world, but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.‎ Highly Sensitive Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.‎ For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.‎ Type A Personality Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.‎ To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.‎ Type B Personality This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents ‎ them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.‎ Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.‎ Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.‎ ‎1. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?‎ A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.‎ B. They don't like socializing with other people.‎ C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.‎ D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.‎ ‎2. Type A personalities can be best described as_________.‎ A. committed B. flexible. C. independent. D. sensitive.‎ ‎3. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To help people understand what personality type they are.‎ B. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.‎ C. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.‎ D. To describe different types of workouts that are available today.‎ B Construction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.‎ Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way ‎ to the tunnel, though not inside.‎ On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.‎ On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.‎ For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!‎ ‎4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.‎ A. its environment B. its function C. its location D. its architecture ‎5. If you are visiting Knolly’s Tunnel, you can__________.‎ A. take a train tour through it B. buy some snacks in it C. drive through it D. walk along the track through it ‎6. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.‎ B. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel.‎ C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.‎ D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel ‎7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.‎ A. a geography textbook B. a travel journal ‎ C. a sports report D. a health and fitness magazine C Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous ‎ effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.‎ Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.‎ We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.‎ And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.‎ This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.‎ ‎8. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph?‎ A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a background.‎ C. It serves as a lead-in. D. It serves as a conclusion.‎ ‎9. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?‎ A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.‎ B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.‎ C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.‎ D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.‎ ‎10. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?‎ A. By statistics.‎ B. By quotations from leading experts.‎ C. By using examples from his own experience.‎ D. By comparison and contrast.‎ ‎11. What can we infer about climate change?‎ A. Climate change is caused by human activities.‎ B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.‎ C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.‎ D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.‎ ‎12. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.‎ B. The oceans become choked with plastic.‎ C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.‎ D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world D The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras” – cameras with a 100-year-long exposure time – will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.‎ As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the ‎ making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture – not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.‎ In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time – a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.‎ Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.‎ ‎ 13. According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happen in 2114 ? A. A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited. B. The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time. C. Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited. D. Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed.‎ ‎14. What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?‎ A. They consider works deliberately.‎ B. They spend little time on works.‎ C. They spend much money on works.‎ D. They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.‎ ‎15. What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?. A. To advocate creating works of art slowly.‎ B .To protect works of art from being damaged. C. To promote works of art for modern culture. D. To encourage people to pay more attention to works of art.‎ 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。‎ Do you have the experience of digging out your suitcase, deciding what to bring and being afraid that you’ve forgotten something? ___16___.
