I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school.‎ When I 11 the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work，nothing would 12 me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the gym and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.‎ We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature (不成熟) and only thought of myself, sometimes even 13 up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending 14 . I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to 15 . ‎ Needless to say, I was sidelined for the rest of the season, but this 16 helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.‎ After freshman year I decided that I would still give my best 17 . Playing football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play. I have learned to think about 18 first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even 19 and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a ( an ) 20 of hard-working young men who will succeed in life.‎ High-school football is more than just a sport. It is a learning ground for many to 21 their personality and character. One thing my coach always says is, “ 22 that you have just run 100 sprints and a big bear starts chasing you. Are you just going to 23 there and let it attack you because you are too 24 ?” The answer, of course, is no, because you can always keep going even if you think you need to give up. This to me means that you can always control your 25 and effort. So, if you maintain a great attitude and always give whatever you’re doing your best ‎ effort, you will have no regrets.‎ ‎11. A. showed B. watched C. joined D. left ‎12. A. pay B. prepare C. praise D. excuse ‎13. A. turning B. giving C. taking D. getting ‎14. A. problem B. success C. injury D. game ‎15. A. walk B. appear C. improve D. recover ‎16. A. hardly B. actually C. only D. nearly ‎17. A. expectation B. suggestion C. idea D. effort ‎18. A. others B. myself C. everyone D. them ‎19. A. quarreling B. celebrating C. sweating D. joking ‎20. A. group B. audience C. organization D. pair ‎21. A. admire B. strengthen C. restart D. remember ‎22. A. Believe B. Recite C. Mind D.

A. time B. position C. dream D.‎ ‎ attitude Ⅲ.阅读理解（共11小题；每小题2分，满分22分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ A Once when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a dentist, to look at it. “It needs to be pulled,” he told me. I closed my eyes, scared of the experience. I was still waiting for him to pull it when I heard my father say, “I’m done.” I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissue-covered hand. I hadn’t felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.‎ The next day at school I told a friend about my father’s remarkable skills. When I explained that the process hadn’t hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after ray father’s explanation. My tooth had been ready to be pulled, while my friend’s had not.‎ ‎“I’m going to be a dentist,” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported ray ambition, honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young.‎ I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. I was amazed as my father operated machines and leaned over patients’ mouths with a tiny mirror fastened on his head. Once, when my dad was cleaning my mothers teeth, he let me suction the saliva (用管子吸唾液) from her mouth. That was the first time I saw the inside of a human mouth close-up. I stared at the structure of my mom’s teeth, paying close attention and dreaming that one day I would see the same image as a dentist.‎ Years later, the dream of a child has not decreased but actually grown firmer. As time passed, I realized that hard work and effort are necessary to be a dentist, which made my ambition even stronger.‎ ‎26. What happened to the writer when his tooth was being pulled?‎ A. His mouth hurt badly. B. He felt no pain.‎ C. Great courage filled his heart. D. A lot of blood came from his mouth.‎ ‎27. How did the writers father support his ambition?‎ A. His father involved him in dentist work.‎ B. His father let him pull his mothers teeth.‎ C. His father took him to the dentist every day.‎ D. His father taught him the structure of human teeth.‎ ‎28. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. My Father B. Teeth Care C. My Childhood D. Dentist Dream B The Burj Khalifa, Dubai The Buij Khalifa is the tallest man-made structure in the world. It is located in Dubai, which is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Burj khalifa is a skyscraper that has hotels, apartments, restaurants, and office space inside it.‎ The skyscraper is 828 meters tall, and it has more than 160 floors. There is an observation deck on the 124th floor and another one on the 148th floor. From the observation decks, visitors have an incredible view of the city and the Persian Gulf.‎ An architect from the US, named Adrian Smith, designed the building. Smith has ‎ designed many famous buildings around the world in places like China, Korea, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Workers from more than 100 countries helped to build the structure. They included people from India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.‎ It took six years to build the skyscraper. Construction workers began their work in January 2004. First, they had to dig a huge hole in the ground to create the building’s foundation. It took just over a year to get the ground ready. The workers started to build the tower in March 2005. More than a year later, in June 2006, the workers reached the 50th level. Seven months after that, they reached the 100th level. By July 2007, the skyscraper had 141 floors and passed the previous tallest building in the world to become the new tallest building. At the lime, the tallest building was Taipei 101. However, the Burj Khalifa did not officially become the world’s tallest building until after it opened two and a half years later. There was a big launch ceremony to celebrate the opening of the building in January 2010.‎ The Buij Khalifa is just one of Dubai’s famous sights. The city has become a popular place for tourists in recent years, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East. Millions of tourists from around the world visit it every year.‎ ‎29. What can we find inside the Buij Khalifa according to the passage?‎ A. Hotels and skyscrapers. B. The Persian Gulf and hotels.‎ C. Restaurants and cinemas. D. Apartments and office space.‎ ‎30. How many floors does the Buij Khalifa have?‎ A. About 141 floors. B. Less than 124 floors.‎ C. Over 160 floors. D. Around 148 floors.‎ ‎31. When did the workers begin to build the tower of the Burj Khalifa?‎ A. In January 2004. B. In June 2006.‎ C. In March 2005. D. In July 2007.‎ ‎32. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. the Burj Khalifa is the most famous sight in Dubai B. the opening ceremony of the Buij Khalifa was in January 2010‎ C. only workers from the Philippines helped to build the Buij Khalifa D. the Buij Khalifa is the second tallest man-made structure in the world C For decades, common wisdom held that how much we eat and exercise determines our weight. As researchers learned more about the human body, they discovered that what people eat plays an important role in weight gain and loss. This led to a wide range of dietary recommendations (饮食建议). Don’t eat fats. Avoid sugars. Eat protein at every meal.‎ Now researchers are discovering another factor that influences health and weight gain-when we eat. A growing body of evidence finds that the time of day when we consume calories affects weight gain and overall health.‎ The most recent study to support this idea was published this summer in the “Journal of Nutrition”. Data from the study came from broad questionnaires that explore the links between lifestyle, diet and disease.‎ Researchers found that participants who ate three meals a day and snacked between meals tended to gain weight over time, while those who ate one or two meals a day tended to lose weight. What’s more, participants who made breakfast their largest meal were less likely to be overweight compared to those who ate their largest meal at lunch or dinner. Those who ate breakfast were more likely to be a healthy weight compared to those who skipped breakfast.‎ The evidence on the benefits of having a big breakfast is strong enough that the American Heart Association has announced a statement that planning and timing meals and snacks is a healthier way of eating, and likely reduces the risk factors for heart disease. The statement stressed that eating breakfast is helpful in preventing diabetes (糖尿病).‎ ‎“Meal timing may affect health due to its effect on the body’s internal clock,” said Marie Pierre St-Onge, Ph. D., an associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University in New York City. She also explained, that planning meals and snacks can help prevent emotional eating. “Many people find that emotions can cause desire to eat when they are not hungry, which often leads to eating too many calories ‎ from foods that have low nutritional value,” she said.‎ The take-home message here is pretty clear. Breakfast truly may be the most important meal of the day. Consuming more calories in the morning and fewer as the day goes on is an effective way to keep a healthy weight.‎ ‎33. The first paragraph suggests that .‎ A. exercise makes us healthy and eat more B. if we don’t eat sugars, we will lose weight C. we should avoid eating protein at every meal D. dietary habits are closely related to our weight ‎34. Researchers found that .‎ A. having breakfast can cure diabetes B. meal times may have an effect on health C. snacking may reduce the risk of heart diseases D. eating habits can cure your emotional problems ‎35. What do the underlined words u take-home message” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Conclusion. B. Decision. C. Conversation. D. Information.‎ ‎36. The writer of the passage aims to .‎ A. examine the history of breakfast development B. stress the benefit of eating dinner and snacks C. explain the importance of breakfast D. promote the idea of healthy food ‎ 第二部分 I.听力理解 ‎ 第三节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） ‎ 听下面一段对话，完成第1至5五道小题，每小题仅填写了个词。听对话前，你将有20秒钟的时间阅读试题，听完后你将有60秒钟的作答时间。对话你将听两遍。‎ Car Rental Form Name Frank Smith Home Address Flat 26, 19 1 Road, Richmond Telephone ‎36974500‎ License Number UT 2 ‎ Type of Car A 3 -size car-a Ford Time for Pickup At 7:00 on 4 23rd Location for Pickup At the 5 ‎ Ⅱ.语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） ‎ 在下列句子中的空白处填入适当内容或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎1. — Can we meet tomorrow afternoon?‎ ‎—Not in the afternoon, I’m afraid.

It’s important to think about which teacher knows you best. The fact that you received an “A” in a class is not a good enough reason to choose that teacher. Some of the best letters come from teachers who witnessed a student struggling with course material or showing commitment (投入). These are the kinds of qualities a college wants to see.‎ If a college requests two letters of recommendation, make sure that each letter reflects a different part of your education. In other words, don’t ask both your chemistry and physics teachers. Students need lo demonstrate varied strengths and interests to colleges.‎ Try to include one recommendation from a non-core subject teacher~such as art or musicor a coach or club adviser.‎ How exactly can you help your “recommender” write a great letter?‎ The best thing a student can do besides asking early is to provide their recommender with information. This could include extracurricular (课外的) activities, any honors, scholarships or awards, what you’ve done over the summers, and evidence of your commitment to community service.‎ Here are some suggestions of things you could include in a folder for your recommender.‎ ‎• A resume that shares how you’ve been spending your time outside school when you’re not doing homeworic.‎ ‎• Your Personal Statement.‎ ‎• A brief paragraph on what you’re looking for in your college experience. This is where you can address your specific interests, possible majors and the types of colleges that represent a good fit for you.‎ ‎1. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?(不多于 7 个单词）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2. Besides asking early, what can a student do to help their recommender?(不多于 6 个单词)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3. Who is the passage probably written for?(不多于 3 个单词）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎4. What’s the passage mainly about?(不多于 7 个单词）‎ ‎ ‎ Ⅲ.阅读理解（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ Why teach kids to forgive?‎ It’s been more than four decades, but I still can’t forgive what they did to me that summer afternoon. I was 14, walking in the mall with my two “friends,” Roger and Carson. I had introduced them to each other the week before and now they were chatting back-and-forth, leaving me out. ‎ Forty-two years later, Carson died of injuries caused by a motorcycle crash, the bad blood between us unresolved. Roger? I have 4,922 Facebook friends, but he’s not one of them. I delete his every request.‎ Revenge isn’t so sweet Revenge (报复) is a powerful emotion; the desire to hurt those who wrong us is a universal quality of human nature. However, research associates not-forgiving with depression, anxiety, and hostility. Multiple studies find a higher rate of heart problems in adults who won’t forgive. On the contrary, children and adults who are able to let go of angry feelings experience greater psychological well-being.‎ No hard feelings Despite the evidence that forgiving is good for you, forgiveness has an image problem, originating from a misunderstanding of what forgiveness is and isn’t.‎ Forgiveness is often thought to be a weak response that minimizes or excuses wrongdoing. These are all misunderstandings, says Loren Toussaint, professor of psychology at Luther College. Forgiveness doesn’t require that the other person apologize. And it doesn’t have to result in reconciliation (和解). Forgiveness simply means you’re letting go of feelings of resentment and revenge. You’re refocusing your thoughts on positive emotions; perhaps even feelings of understanding, empathy, and compassion toward the person who hurt you.‎ Why it works ‎• When kids axe wronged and don’t forgive, they continue to release stress chemicals into their brains, which activate survival emotions such as fear and anger and results in an inhibition (抑制) of the brain’s problem-solving ability, creativity and reasoning.‎ What happens in the brain when a person forgives is a very different picture. A University of Pisa study found that participants who thought about forgiveness exhibited activation in five brain regions, indicating an increase in positive emotions, understanding of the mental states of others, perception, and control of emotions. “Research supports the connection between forgiveness and improved academic functions,” Toussaint says. “The negative emotions of unforgiveness can be powerful factors that affect children’s attention and focus in the classroom and in their individual studies.”‎ Okay. I will finally let go of my 50 years of resentment. And I’m moving on. Roger… I accept your FB request...Hi.‎ ‎1. Why does the writer tell his own story?‎ A. To share his personal experience of forgiveness.‎ B. To introduce the topic of teaching forgiveness.‎ C. To show his determination to get revenge.‎ D. To express his hatred toward two friends. ‎ ‎2. Which of the following statements would Loren Toussaint agree with?‎ A. Forgiving should be based on sincere apology.‎ B. Forgiveness will result in refreshed friendship.‎ C. Forgiving people means you are weaker than others.‎ D. Forgiveness means becoming free from negative emotions.‎ ‎3. Why should kids be taught to forgive?‎ A. Forgiveness improves academic performance.‎ B. Forgiveness kelps cure psychological diseases.‎ C. Forgiveness heals hurts and is good for the forgiver.‎ D. Forgiveness makes the forgiver an intelligent person.‎ ‎4. The main purpose of the passage is to .‎ A. inform and explain B. argue and discuss ‎ C. examine and assess D. compare and evaluate ‎ VI.书面表达（满分20分） ‎ 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校学生会（Student Union)正在招新成员，请你给负责人李老师写一封申请信，内容包括： ‎ ‎1.你申请的职位；‎ ‎2. 你的理由；‎ ‎3. 你期待当选。‎ 注意：1.词数不少于50;‎ ‎2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ 提示词：主席 president 部长 minister Dear Ms. Li,‎ Sincerely,‎ Li Hua ‎ 北京市西城区2017-2018学年高二上学期期末考试 英语试题答案 A卷（第一部分）‎ I.听力理解第一、二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎1-5 CACBB 6-10 BABAC II. 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分）‎ ‎11-15 CBBCD 16-20 BDAAC 21-25 BDACD III. 阅读理解（共11小题；每小题2分，满分22分）‎ ‎26-30 BADDC 31-36 CBDBAC A卷（第二部分）‎ I.听力理解第三节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）‎ ‎1.
