灵丘一中2017-2018学年（一）期中考试 ‎ 高二英语试题 总分150分 时间 90分钟 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分54分)‎ 第一节(共13小题，每小题3分，满分39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。‎ A In the early 1900s, Carol Ryrie Brink lived with her grandmother Caddie on a tiny farm in Idaho. The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall climbing trees, it had cats and chickens and a horse, which she rode all over the countryside and through the streets of town.‎ Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. The favorite part of her day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about the adventures(冒险经历) she and her brothers had.‎ Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved Caddie Woodlawn. Carol’s book won a special award (奖)called the Newbery Medal. Each year only one children’s book is chosen to win this award.‎ Carol said it was her son and daughter who inspired (激励)her to write for children. That wasn’t easy when she was busy taking care of a family. Sometimes an idea would come to her while she was washing the supper dishes. She would make a quick note and come back to write it out more fully after her children were asleep.‎ Carol wrote 27 books in her life, many of which are about her life in Idaho. Besides the Newbery Medal, She won many more awards. Later when another author Mary Reed wrote a book about Carol Ryrie Brink, she summed up(概括) Carol’s life by saying, “She tried to live in a way that would not harm others, to never waste a day, and to make the most of her life.”‎ ‎1.When she felt lonely on the farm, Carol would _______.‎ A. ride a horse to the town B. ask her grandmother to read her a story C. climb all the tall trees D. make herself happy with her own stories ‎2.What do we know about Caddie Woodlaw?‎ A.

My tooth was aching，and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt,“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky. ‎ ‎ “If you come by right now,”  the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”‎ ‎ I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?‎ ‎ In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.‎ ‎ When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. "‎ ‎ "How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently.‎ ‎ "Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said.‎ ‎ "The artwork?" I was puzzled.‎ ‎ The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.‎ ‎ What a relief!‎ ‎5. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?‎ A. Cheerful.   B.

Because the dentist came at last.‎ B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.‎ C. Because she could relax in the chair.‎ D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.‎ ‎8.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. ‎ C ‎ I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.‎ Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.‎ McDonald’s The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.‎ Apple ‎ There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the ‎ one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.‎ Mercedes Benz ‎ The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.‎ Adidas ‎ The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.‎ ‎9. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?‎ A. They are boring. B. They are out of date. ‎ C. They are attractive. D. They are practical.‎ ‎10. What does Nike’s logo stand for?‎ A. The goddess of victory. ‎ B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.‎ C. The statue of the Greek goddess. ‎ D. The wing of the Greek goddess.‎ ‎11. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ______.‎ A. the religious story of Adam and Eve ‎ B. a bitten apple with only one color C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree ‎ D. the rainbow-colored bitten apple ‎12. ______ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air.‎ A. Nike’s logo B. Apple’s logo ‎ C. The Mercedes logo D. The Adidas logo ‎13.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?‎ A．Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Nike – Apple. ‎ B．Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz. ‎ C．Mercedes Benz – Apple – Nike –McDonald’s. ‎ D．Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Apple, ‎ 第二节(共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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，并填写在答题卡上。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Making Friends in a New Environment Everyone has had a moment when they’re not really sure about how they’ll succeed in a new environment.
