‎2019高二第二学期期末考试英语试题卷 I. 阅读理解（每题2分，共30分）‎ A ‎ Crying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can't hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we're at our best, and when we're at our worst. By we, I mean all of us. Men included.‎ But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it's reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things — deaths, breakups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.‎ I want to admit I'm a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.‎ See, my dog — and 24/7 companion — was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.‎ It is suggested in the book Adult Crying：A Biopsychosocial Approach that there's certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.‎ In those days after my dog's death, I remember thinking, “I've got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I've since realised that tears are for everybody; they're not genderspecific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.‎ ‎1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. Crying is an emotion showing sadness.． ‎ B．Crying is an emotion beyond control.‎ - 13 -‎ C． Crying is a raw human emotion. ‎ D．Crying is an emotion showing happiness.‎ ‎2．What's the difference between men and women in crying according to Dutch research?‎ A．Men are more likely to have tears of joy.‎ B．They cry at different times of life.‎ C．Women cry more often over deaths.‎ D．They cry over different matters.‎ ‎3．What did the author think of his crying over his dog's death?‎ A．A sign of strength. ‎ B．A way of reducing emotional stress.‎ C．Behavior of being womanish. ‎ D．A sign of weakness.‎ ‎4．What's the best title for the text? ‎ A．Men, never cry like women ‎ B．Crying solves psychological problems C． Men, it's OK to cry sometimes ‎ D．Crying explains differences between men and women B Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974,died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.‎ For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucy’s skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.‎ The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy’s right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.‎ The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself but the injury was too severe to have - 13 -‎ ‎ been survivable.‎ The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.‎ That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks,”Dr. Donald C. Johanson , director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.”‎ Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy’s breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks. It’s unlikely they fell out of a tree.‎ But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with high-energy bone-to-bone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”‎ ‎5.What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham’s research?‎ A. She made an effort to save herself. ‎ B. She had more than 35,000 slices.‎ C. She couldn’t use her arms properly. ‎ D. She got her name from a band.‎ ‎6.What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ A. Surprising. B. Creative. ‎ C. Reasonable. D. Unbelievable.‎ ‎7.Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?‎ A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.‎ B. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.‎ C. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.‎ D. Lucy’s bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.‎ ‎8.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?‎ A. Lucy didn’t die from falling out of a tree.‎ B. The newly published study was meaningless.‎ - 13 -‎ C. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.‎ D. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.‎ C Bring any group of business owners or managers together, ask them the best way to promote their organizations, and you'll get different answers. That comes as no surprise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. You'll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesn't produce the results they want, they'll change to sending direct mail. When that doesn't create a jump in sales, they'll buy TV commercials. When that falls short of their expectations, they'll try a new online strategy...and it goes on and on.‎ For most companies, the best approach is a mix of different channels, organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others. The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors, including the company itself, its audience, the message being conveyed, the environment, and many more.‎ Just that radio worked well for a company's last effort doesn't mean that TV advertising wouldn't be a better choice this time. Or maybe the right channel is direct mail. There's no simple answer，because there are so many variables. If your audience is broad, then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice. If you're targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers, direct mail or email will probably perform better.‎ There are two important lessons here. The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will serve all of the company's needs, because it just doesn't exist. The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar to promote your business, you need to do more than a little learning. You'll really need to understand your customers, your marketplace, your competitors, and the environments in which you do business. And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation, but not another.‎ ‎9．According to Paragraph 1, there are no________．‎ A．all－purpose ads B．unsuccessful ads ‎ - 13 -‎ C．cheap ads D．perfect ads ‎10. What is the best way to promote a business?‎ A．Using a channel that serves all of your budget.‎ B．Advertising on a channel available to consumers.‎ C．Creating an ad that appeals to all your customers.‎ D． Putting ads on various channels at the same time.‎ ‎11．When it comes to choosing an ad for a business, we should________．‎ A．stay away from TV advertising ‎ B．advertise on the radio or on the newspaper C． choose it based on the specific situation ‎ D．choose it according to your customers' budget ‎12．Before deciding on a marketing channel, you need to_______．‎ A．ask for your customers' advice ‎ B．make research on all related factors ‎ C．realize the problems with your business ‎ D．compare different advertising D Avantree iPhone 6/6S Plus Sweatproof Armband, for Samsung Galaxy Note 5/S5, Google Nexus 6P, with a key holder and card pouch, for Running Gym Jogging Exercise Sports — Trackpouch by Avantree.‎ ‎1,227 customers review 1,198 answered questions.‎ Price ‎$————‎ Sale ‎$————‎ With Deal ‎$ 11.00 (Order within 31 hrs 7 mins)‎ Sold by Avantree Direct and Fulfilled by Amazon, Gift wrap available.‎ - 13 -‎ Color: Black for iPhone 6 Plus (4.3″－5.5″)/for Big Arm with iPhone 6/6S Plus/for iPhone 6/6S (4.7″ or below)‎ ‎●No pockets?
