‎2017-2018学年辽宁省六校协作体高二下学期联考(6月)‎ 英语试题 命题学校:凤城一中 命题人:高二英语组 校对人:高二英语组 第 I 卷 第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)‎ 第二部分: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 Life in space will certainly take some getting used to! But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy,bright,and kept at a constant ‎21°C. It’s important the crew members are comfortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday,crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals,and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station:‎ Food Come mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn’t require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!‎ Sleep Each crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!‎ Exercise ‎ ‎ You might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.‎ Clothing Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S.‎ shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from ‎-84 °C in the shadow of the station to ‎121°C in the hot sun.‎ Personal Cleanliness Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo,and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space? With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.‎ ‎21. The text is mainly about ___________‎ A. ways to get used to life in space ‎ B. fun facts about life in space C. temperature changes in space D. a typical workday in space ‎ ‎22. What do we know about space food from the text?‎ A. Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past B. Astronauts eat only fruit, vegetables and ice cream now.‎ C. Space food is getting better now than before.‎ D. Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space.‎ ‎23. Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth?‎ ‎ A. Because it can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.‎ ‎ B. Because it can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.‎ ‎ C. Because astronauts’ lives are more important in space than on Earth.‎ ‎ D. Because it can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.‎ ‎24. What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”?‎ ‎ A. The temperature is quite different in different places in space.‎ ‎ B. Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.‎ ‎ C. Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.‎ ‎ D. Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.‎ B ‎ It's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.‎ Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.‎ A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.    ‎ In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge‎ ‎University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found ‎ that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.     So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach. ‎ ‎25. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______. ‎ A. remind readers of their own special food. ‎ B. deepen the understanding of hunger.‎ C. report the discovery of craving study.‎ D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.‎ ‎26. What do we learn about food craving? ‎ A. It shows food is linked to feelings.‎ B. It ensures a person survives hunger.‎ C. It means the stomach functions well.‎ D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.‎ ‎27. What's the likely result of dieting? ‎ A. The decrease of chemicals.                 B. The increase of food desire.‎ C. The refusal of fat and sugar.               D. The disappearance of appetite.‎ ‎28. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage? ‎ A.  Education               B. Entertainment ‎ C.  Science          D. Economy ‎ C ‎  NASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for making your next holiday come more quickly.     The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde(协和客机). That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.‎ ‎    It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground— disturbing animals and even ‎ causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be commercially used.‎ ‎    In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to commercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.‎ ‎    “As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be something that's acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA's commercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use.” ‎ ‎29. Why does the author mention Concorde? ‎ A. To suggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.‎ B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.‎ C. To introduce how a commercial plane is designed.‎ D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be commercially used.‎ ‎30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? ‎ A. The basic data of the new plane.‎ B. The working principle of the new plane.‎ C. The problems of the new plane.‎ D. The potential market of the new plane.‎ ‎31. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean? ‎ A. response          B. commitment        ‎ C. investment        D. agreement ‎32. Why does the author write the passage? ‎ A. Because he wants to inform people of NASA's new plane.‎ B. Because he wants to prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.‎ ‎ C. Because he wants to explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.‎ ‎ D. Because he wants to clarify some misunderstandings about commercial planes.‎ D Of all natural disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.     According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.     Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year, with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.     It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.     Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭) enriches soil and some plant species grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire. ‎ ‎33. Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____ ‎ A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use of B. huge walls of flames can burn acres of land C. they make the greatest loss of all disasters D. they spread too fast and do great damage ‎34. Almost 25% forest fires are set_____. ‎ A. unexpectedly             B. by lighting            ‎ C. on purpose             D. naturally ‎35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? ‎ A. The advantages of forest fires.           B. The usage of charcoals. C. Pine trees need fires.                          D. Fires destroy all plants but two.‎ 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 is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. 36 I'd say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here's why.‎ 1) ‎ 37 ‎ ‎ Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don't go to your tomb with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.‎ ‎2)The world is waiting on your gift ‎ I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! 38 Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don't deprive(使丧失) the world of your gift. It's the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.‎ ‎3) 39 ‎ You can dream of writing the great American play that you want, but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream of finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 40 They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!‎ A. You can't let fear win.‎ B. Tomorrow is not promised.‎ C. In other words, your dreams won’t be fulfilled unless you work.[]‎ D.

Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people’s life , thus 63 (lift)their mood.‎ Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there 64 (existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this---one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).‎ ‎65 terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel 66 (good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having 67 even worse day than they are.‎ Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music 68 shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions 69 (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.‎ ‎ So, the 70 (conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.‎ 第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)‎ 第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(^),并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。‎ ‎ 修改:在错的词下画横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;‎ ‎ 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ Everyone in our village like my father, because he has a sense of humor.

The topic of my speech is “Let's Ride ‎ Bicycles”. As is known to all, with the improvement of people's living standards, cars have become a popular means of transportation, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve the problem then? As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don't need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won't give off waste gas. What's more, riding bicycles is a good way to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore, let's take the responsibility to built up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us. That's all! Thank you!‎ ‎ ‎
