The system of the app helps you learn English quickly by spending twenty minutes a day. Duolingo structures your lessons that teach you about seven new words based on a topic and skill points being awarded for completing the lessons.‎ Busuu Busuu helps you learn English language on the go and the lesson’s quality is guaranteed as it is based on CEFR language framework. Lessons range from beginners to advanced learners. Busuu is actually a great English app if you want to improve your spoken English by talking with native speakers.‎ Memrise Memrise uses some creative and easy ways to memorize English words. The focus of this app is to help the users expand their vocabulary by learning English words in an effective way. Memrise also offers an offline mode to continue learning without Internet connection.‎ Rosetta Stone Rosetta Stone is designed differently from average language apps on the marketplace today. It’s trying to teach us English the way we’d learn it, as if we were children starting to learn the language. Furthermore, it has exercises designed to help you learn basic words. A variety of lessons are offered that Rosetta Stone has been using for years.‎ ‎21.Which app mentions the time for daily study?‎ A. Busuu.‎ B. Duolingo.‎ C. Memrise.‎ D. Rosetta Stone.‎ ‎22.Why is Memrise distinct from the others?‎ A. It will give learners quick progress.‎ B. It has many vocabulary lessons.‎ C. It is designed for English beginners.‎ D. It can be applied offline as well.‎ ‎23.The passage is written to ________.‎ A. inform readers of research results ‎ B. encourage English beginners C. recommend English-learning apps ‎ D. introduce ways of learning B After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.‎ The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.‎ There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an ‎ inspirational sentence printed on it.‎ Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day —— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”‎ So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.‎ ‎24. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?‎ A. To make profit. B. To express gratitude.‎ C. To uplift people’s spirits D. To help people out of hardship.‎ ‎25. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’s cookies?‎ A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.‎ B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.‎ C. I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.‎ D. Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others ‎26. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. A Symbol of Chinese Culture B. Chinese Restaurants in ‎America C. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune? D. Fortune cookie, Chinese or American? ‎ C From selfdriving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.‎ ‎“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution ‎ will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.‎ A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.‎ The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.‎ But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.‎ ‎“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological knowhow will directly challenge big companies,” it states.‎ A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s coauthor.‎ ‎“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.‎ ‎27.We can infer from the text that in the future ________.‎ A. people will face many difficulties ‎ B. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces ‎ C. artificial intelligence will threaten people’s lives ‎ D. people will take up more creative jobs ‎28.According to the report, ________.‎ A. small companies will win against big companies ‎ B .big companies will face fewer challenges C. people won’t necessarily lose jobs ‎ D. most people will become interested in technology ‎29.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?‎ A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Mixed. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎30. Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that ________.‎ A. things will change a lot in a few years ‎ B. there will be enough jobs for people ‎ C. many people will become unemployed ‎ D. technology will totally change future jobs 第二节 七选五(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。‎ Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter:‎ ‎ No speech should last more than 20 minutes. 31 . The Sermon on the Mount, a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus, for example, lasted hardly more than three minutes.‎ ‎　　Focus on one topic. We’re humans and tend to have lots of thoughts, opinions and ideas. You have to make proper selection. 32 .Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint(观点).‎ ‎ 33 . It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable the first time out.‎ ‎　　Humor is vital. 34 . Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.‎ Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always, at the beginning of the speech, thank the person who invited you and introduced you. 35 . While you’re doing it, the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point.‎ A. Choose your words carefully.‎ B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.‎ C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.‎ D. Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the beginning.‎ E. Stick to one subject－the future of the soccer club, for example.‎ F. This process takes time, so start once you begin thinking about the speech.‎ G. The more important the message is, the less time it requires to say it.‎ 第三部分 完形填空 （共 20 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 30 分） ‎ 阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ A young man had a traffic accident and got his arms removed.

She wore black boots of soft leather. Dannis struggled to see her face, she was ahead of him in line, but it was not until she bought her ticket and turned to walk away that he realized her beauty, which was fair-skinned and big-eyed. She seemed aware that he was staring at her and lowered her gaze abruptly.‎ His flight was leaving in an hour. To kill time, Dannis stepped into an airport bar and ordered a Scotch. While sipping it, he watched the flow of travelers through the terminal （航站楼）until he caught sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat again, deep in conversation with a blonde girl （金发女孩）."Invite her for a drink?" Dannis hesitated. In another instant ,the two women separated, neither of ‎ whose directions was toward him.‎ When next he saw her, Dannis was buying a magazine and became aware someone was pushing him. At first, he was startled （受惊吓的）that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he saw who it was, he smiled.‎ ‎“Busy place," Dannis said.‎ She looked up at him and blushed. Wordlessly, she moved away and joined the crowds in the terminal.‎ Dannis was at the counter with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the pocket was empty. Where could I have left it? His mind was racing, the credit cards, the cash, the identification card… His stomach stirred with something very like fear. "The girl who was so near to me!" he said to himself. All at once he understood she had picked his pocket. What shall he do?‎ First, find a policeman, tell him what has happened. He would probably never see his wallet again. Dannis gritted his teeth. When glancing around for the police, suddenly,he spotted the black-haired girl, seated against a front window of the terminal.She seemed absorbed in a book.‎ 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Para 1：‎ A seat beside her was empty, and Dannis occupied it. -------------------------------------------------- ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Para 2:‎ The girl ran and Dannis ran after her. ‎ ‎ ‎ 高二年级英语学科试卷答案 听力1---5 BBCCB 6---10 ABACC 11---15 BBBCA 16---20 CACCB 阅读21-23 BDC 24-26 BBD 27-30 DCAB 31---35 GEADB 完形填空36----40 DBADC 41---45 BDCAD 46---50 AACBB 51----55 BACDC 语法填空1．added　2．performance　 3．officials　 4．better　 5．using　 6．A　 7．of　 8．costs　 9．because　 10．were found　 ‎ One possible version: There are many adolescents who smoke. They think they look cool or appear more grown-up while smoking. ‎ In fact, smoking is a bad habit. If you smoke, it has bad effects on your health. It does harm to your heart and lungs, which might eventually lead to cancer. Cigarette smoke also affects the health of non-smokers. Besides, your breath and even clothes smell terrible. Furthermore, once you become addicted to smoking, it is really hard to quit. ‎ So, for the benefit of yourself and others, do not get into the bad habit of smoking. ‎ 读后续写Para 1： A seat beside her was empty, and Dannis occupied it. He felt a wave of anger swept over him. “Where is my wallet?” he yelled. The black-haired girl glanced up from her reading, with a confused look on her face. Dannis stood up, glared at her and shouted,“ You stole my wallet!” The crowds began to gossip. The girl ‎ turned deadly pale, looking so restless that words failed her. A strange silence hung in the air. Abruptly, she leaped from the seat.‎ Para‎ 2: The girl ran and Dannis ran after her. After a while, Dannis finally grabbed her by the arm. At exactly that moment, a policeman approached them and asked about what happened. Dannis hastened to explain it while the girl frowned with a shake of her head. After further enquiries, the policeman took out a wallet and handed it to Dannis, adding that someone had found it in the toilet. What a mistake he had made! Overwhelmed by guilt, Dannis made an apology to the girl. (153 words)‎
