Jessica Backhaus found one in Gisele Freund, the great French photographer remembered for her portraits of artists, especially writers. Gisele was a wonderful, sensitive portraitist whose pictures of Virginia Woolf, Andre Gide, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Jean Cocteau, and a long list of well-known artists are unforgettable.‎ Jessica, a young photographer from Germany, was studying photography in Paris when she met the famous Gisele Freund, on November 5, 1992. Slowly a friendship developed, lasting until Gisele’s death, in 2000; and in a way it still continues today. ‎ Gisele was generous in her concern for a new generation of photographers, and Jessica took to heart her advice to forget about technique and to take pictures with her eyes and heart. To thank her, Jessica decided to take the series of pictures published in the book One Day in November.‎ One day, before Jessica moved to New York, Gisele suggested that she write about their friendship. The book One Day in November begins with Jessica’s essay on their shared memories and conversations, followed by her photographs. She calls it a visual poem, pointing out that she expresses herself best in pictures rather than words.‎ The excellent photographs from her book can be seen in a splendid exhibition at Laurence Miller Gallery, along with a series of pictures from three of her other books: Jesus and the Cherries, portraits taken in a Polish village where time stood still; What Still Remains, pictures of objects left behind; and a new book of light reflections on water, I Wanted to See the World. All are guided by Gisele’s advice and all are quite wonderful.‎ ‎21. The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________.‎ A. a responsible friend B. a well-known artist C. an inspiring instructor D. an experienced photographer ‎22. What can we learn about the book One Day in November from the passage？‎ A. It begins with photographs and ends with an essay.‎ B. It talks about the friendship between Jessica and Gisele.‎ C. It collects poems that provide readers with a visual feast.‎ D. It contains portraits taken in a village where time stood still.‎ ‎23. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Jessica’s memories of Gisele.‎ B. Gisele’s influence on Jessica.‎ C. The photographs taken by Gisele.‎ D. The achievements made by Jessica.‎ B It seems that the news industry has one primary focus: keeping people up to date on the stories of the moment, providing the best insight into every instance where the ‎ readers can’t be there themselves. Decades ago, this meant when news broke, journalists scrambled to cover it, delivering the key facts, analysis and insight. They told their audiences what they needed to care about and what the journalists thought was important. All of this arrived on your doorstep with the delivery of the morning paper or was squeezed into an hour of local and national news on your TV.‎ But while the goals of a news organization remain the same as they were in the heyday(全盛时期)of Walter Cronkite, revolutionary forces behind the scenes have fundamentally transformed the relationship that readers have with the news.‎ As the news moves from ink to screens and the mobile platform becomes the force to be taken seriously, journalists and the publications that support them are faced with new challenges that extend well beyond gathering the top stories of the day. As our digital world expands our options for news based on the focus, writing style, viewpoint, and design, publishers are faced with the balancing act of maintaining the reputation as a trusted news source, while developing new incentives (动机) in order to ensure their readership. ‎ While the negatives have been well documented, this ongoing evolution has also resulted in a major step forward for the future of journalism. It has forced news brands to listen to their audiences and begin a conversation that for so long was one-sided. After all, the web is open for discussion; shouldn’t our journalism be as well?‎ Readers should feel empowered to not only join the conversation about the news, but also join in the effort of telling the whole story. Not only are our mobile phones a source for us to watch and read the top stories, they’re also news-gathering devices that empower citizen journalists to fill in the blanks and provide a comprehensive picture of the news landscape.‎ ‎24. What does the author think of the news industry in the past?‎ A. There was no easy access to news.‎ B. Journalists didn’t often comment on news.‎ C. Journalists were important in delivering news.‎ D. Publishers did not care about readers that much.‎ ‎25. The challenges that publishers are faced now are caused by _____.‎ A. people’s decreasing interest in news B. more options available for news C. a lack of ideas for new incentives D. a bad reputation of the news industry ‎26. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A. Readers should be sensitive to news around them.‎ B. Readers should take advantage of the mobile platform.‎ C. Readers don’t have to rely on journalists for news now.‎ D. Readers now can get involved in the process of delivering news.‎ C In today’s households where both parents go to work and kids have busy schedules with school, homework and many afternoon activities, finding time for a gathering at the table seems all but impossible. Yet, studies have shown time and again that eating together has multiple benefits for family members, especially children.‎ ‎ According to reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University(CASA), children who eat more with their family are at lower risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or alcohol dependencies. They tend to perform better academically than those who frequently eat alone. Family meals came into American life in the mid-20th century. In the 60’s and 70’s, social, economic and technological changes quickly dissolved the short-lived way of family meals. Restaurant visits, take-out and TV dinners have since become the norm (常态).‎ There are indications, however, that the old customs are coming back. According to the latest CASA reports, 59% of surveyed families said they ate dinner together at least five times a week, a significant increase from 47% in 1998. Whatever drives this trend, it is a development that should be welcomed.‎ Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. It is about teaching them how to become members of their society and culture. Food has become so easily and cheaply available that we no longer appreciate its significance. We have ‎ to rediscover its importance and its value. Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, which can almost take on the form of a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors for whom finding food was a constant struggle. ‎ Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family may make children more virtuous or socially more responsible. But it can lay the groundwork for a lot of things that point them in the right direction.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined sentence suggest?‎ A. This practice of family meals started to change.‎ ‎ B. Dining at home would enjoy great popularity.‎ ‎ C. The society was to develop at a rapid speed.‎ ‎ D. Americans would attach importance to take-out. ‎ ‎28. What is the writer’s attitude towards eating together as a family?‎ A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Reserved. D. Objective. ‎ ‎29. From the passage we learn our ancestors possibly _____.‎ ‎ A. valued the education of children B. liked struggling with each other ‎ C. cared much about food nutrition D. appreciated the importance of food ‎30. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Good Eating Habits Matter B. Family Dinners Benefit Kids ‎ C. Meals Take on New Meanings D. Old Customs Are Coming Back 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。有两项为多余选项。‎ Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.‎ ‎ 31 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.‎ ‎ For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain ‎ releases the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 32 ‎ ‎ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.‎ ‎ 33 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 34 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”‎ ‎ Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 35 ‎ A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.‎ B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.‎ C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.‎ D. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.‎ E. Do not express your anger while angry. ‎ F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.‎ G. Anger may cause you cancer.‎ 第三部分　语言运用(共两节, 满分45分)‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 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。‎ This life is so full of beautiful moments.

Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in ‎ them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.‎ ‎ Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.”‎ ‎ Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.‎ ‎ Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (一角硬币).‎ ‎ Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly- found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson after salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.‎ ‎ He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten-cent offering. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”‎ ‎ The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.‎ 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。‎ Paragraph1: ‎ Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter._______________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph2: ‎ With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran. _____________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________‎ 高二五校联考英语试题 ‎ 答 案 2019.05‎ 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 ACAAC 6-10 BBCAA 11-15 CCCBC 16-20 AABAB 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21-23 CBB ‎24-26 CBD ‎27-30 AADB 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎31-35 FADEB 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ CABCC DBCCA DBCBC CBABA 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. reality ‎ 57. an ‎58. to help ‎59. in ‎60. which ‎61. quieter ‎ 62. wrote ‎63.
