‎2017-2018学年内蒙古北京八中乌兰察布分校高二下学期第一次调考 英语试题 ‎（命题人： 萨琪儿 审核人： 吕瑛锎 分值： 120分 时间：100分钟）‎ 注意事项：‎ ‎ 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号填写在答题卡上。‎ ‎ 2. 将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。‎ ‎ 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。‎ 第一部分：阅读理解（本大题共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ Passage A Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids．According to a new survey (调查) by the National Sleep Foundation，51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school． How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours．For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal (理想的)．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV． "More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，"says Dr．Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．Other experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm． Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to．Three years ago，schools in Edina，Minnesota，changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am．Students，parents and teachers are pleased with the results．‎ 1. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？ ______ ‎ A. American kids'sleeping habits． B. Teenagers'sleep-related diseases．‎ ‎ C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness． D. Learning problems and lack of sleep．‎ 1. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day？ ______ ‎ A. 7 hours． B. 8 hours． C. 10 hours． D. 18 hours．‎ 2. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？ ______ ‎ A. They are affected by certain body chemicals． B. They tend to do things that excite them． C. They follow their parents'examples． D. They don't need to go to school early．‎ Passage B Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example,in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. ‎ Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.‎ It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.‎ 3. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?‎ A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.‎ 4. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can______.‎ A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelings C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits 5. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?‎ A. Figure out what they will do ‎ next. B. Find out about their past experience. C. Understand their cultural backgrounds. D. Learn about their relations with others.‎ 1. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationships C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions ‎ ‎ Passage C The fourth round of heavy smog that hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution. ‎ Pan Shiyi, a real estate developer，said he is planning to propose a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress, he started an online survey at 9：20 am. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo,China’s Twitter.‎ They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze (雾霾) reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory (呼吸) illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors about all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators (呼吸器).‎ The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companies’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard,high-polluting gas fuel.‎ Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel,stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.‎ Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.‎ 2. Why did Pan Shiyi started an online survey?‎ A. To investigate (调查) the public’s opinions on pollution. B. To tell people the danger of the smoggy weather. C. To call on more people to support his proposal. D. To collect supporting evidences for his proposal.‎ 1. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People are clear about the causes of the smoggy weather. B. Children staying indoors will not get respiratory illnesses. C. Smog is worse for people with lower resistance to diseases. D. Masks can give people protection against the smoggy weather.‎ 2. Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.‎ A. suggest Beijing should learn from other countries. B. let people know many places have this problem. C. tell people the situation in Britain is worse. D. call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air Act.‎ 3. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. The Use of Gas Masks and Respirators B. Beijingers Call for a Clean Air Act C. Effective Protection for Blue Sky D. The Mysterious Causes of the Scary Smog Passage D Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before． Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17thcentury Dutch painters to the 19thcentury romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography (摄影术) to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom． Besides, all art begs the age-old question：What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the CroMagnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up，understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods． Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present，Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. ‎ 4. The underlined word"poetry"most probably means ______ ．‎ A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of ‎ poems C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene 1. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because ______ ．‎ A. they are close in style to works in ancient times B. they look like works by 19thcentury painters C. they draw attention to common things in life D. they depend heavily on colour photography 2. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph？ ______ ‎ A. They express people's curiosity about the past． B. They make people interested in everyday experience． C. They are considered important for variety in form． D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation．‎ 3. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage？ ______ ‎ A. History of the arts． B. Basic questions of the arts． C. New developments in the arts． D. Use of modern technology in the arts．‎ 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。‎ Let’s say you have had a sore throat for several weeks. You have done everything you can to relieve (减轻) the pain: medicine, Vitamin C, and even chicken soup. All these things help your throat feel better for a little while, but the soreness always comes back. ___16___ Your doctor discovers that you have tonsillitis (扁桃体炎), and that is causing your sore throat! If you have your tonsils removed, your sore throat will go away for good. ‎ Anger is a lot like that. It is great to find healthy, positive ways to deal with feelings of anger, but sometimes you really just need to get to the root of the problem. There is no way to get rid of everything that makes us angry. ___17___‎ ‎___18___ If you can identify (确认) what exactly is making you feel angry, and then work to fix it, you may find that you get angry a lot less often.‎ ‎___19___ Instead of giving in to your feelings, maybe it is time to get some help in the subject so you can do better next time.‎ Are you angry because your friends leave you out of things? ___20___ If they can’t be sensitive to your feelings, then maybe it is time to look for new friends.‎ A. But we can deal with issues one at a time.‎ B. What is the source of your anger?‎ C. Finally, you decide it is time to see a doctor.‎ D. Are you angry that you failed a test at school?‎ E. Try talking to them about how it makes you feel.‎ F. Keeping anger inside usually just makes it worse.‎ G. Being angry can make it hard to be around other people.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（本大题共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Good afternoon，everyone，‎ I'd like to introduce my friend Christy to you all．Christy is a great example of how one person with__21__can make her dream a reality，so she should win the Student of the Year Award． Christy loves to ride bikes．She does not just ride along city streets，__22__．She is interested in__23__trail (小路) rides．__24__Christy knew that people who love riding had to travel __25__the city to locate good bike trails，so she__26__to do something． Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had a clean，lively creek (小溪)__27__through it．Twelve miles of land around the creek was__28__used．Christy decided to get together with other trail__29__to ask the city council to__30__a bike path along the unused land．Christy__31__a petition (请愿书)．She and other riders asked all of their biking friends if they would__32__the list，and they gathered 300 signatures．The city council evaluated the__33__and，more__34__，agreed to allow the bike trail． The__35__took two months of work，and now Roosevelt Park has a__36__bike trail．It has many ups and downs； it is a great ride．This trail is becoming one of the community's important__37__spots．I can't__38__with Christy when we ride together，but I am glad that she decided to work hard to begin the__39__of the Roosevelt Park bike path．Christy__40__this award because she acted on her dream，causing a community to come together． Thank you!‎ 21. ‎ A. determination B. satisfaction C. patience D. permission 22. ‎ A. still B. instead C. either D. though 23.

Some of them are even dying out. The reasons are as follows: To start with, people have been cutting down  trees for building, causing some animals to lose their habitats. Besides, many animals are being endangered because of pollution. In addition, too much  hunting also causes the disappearance of certain species of wild animals.‎ In my opinion, it's time we took immediate measures to change the situation. First, we shouldn't cut down trees without permission.Instead, we are supposed to plant more trees to protect the animals' living conditions.Second, more nature reserves are expected to be set up.  The most important thing is that we should call on everyone to protect wild animals. ‎ I believe as long as we take action immediately, we will live in harmony with animals and life will become better.[]‎ Yours,                                                                              Li hua
