甘肃省临夏中学2018—2019学年第一学期期末考试试卷 年级： 高二 科目： 英语 座位号: ‎ ‎ 第一部分 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)‎ 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 ‎ My First Marathon(马拉松)‎ A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.‎ I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic ”.‎ The idea that I was “ not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!‎ The night before the marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.‎ Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带)became loose. So I stopped to readjust(调整). Not the start I wanted!‎ At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”‎ By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.‎ By mile 21, I was hungry！‎ As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at ‎4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.‎ I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.‎ Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can ‎ now call myself a “marathon winner”.‎ ‎1. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.‎ A. was well trainedB. felt frightened C. made up his mind to run D. lost heart ‎2. How was the author’s first marathon?_________‎ A. He quit halfway B. He made it..‎ C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end._________‎ ‎3. What does the story mainly tell us?_________‎ A. A man owes his success to his family support. B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.‎ C. Failure is the mother of success. D. One is never too old to learn.‎ B Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.‎ Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.‎ While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes uswant to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.‎ When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.‎ When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.‎ A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.‎ ‎4. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to.‎ A. keep gaining knowledge B. have a chance to study abroad ‎ C. become a more interesting person ‎ D.realize the importance of knowledge ‎5. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?_________‎ A. Being limited within the walls of a college.‎ B. Valuing our own culture much more C. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.‎ D. Thinking differently from others.‎ ‎6. Which of the following are not mentioned by the writer about going to college? _________‎ A. Gaining more knowledge. ‎ B. Experiencing diverse cultures ‎ C. Becoming a humorous person.‎ D. Enlarging social networks.‎ ‎7. What is the text mainly about?_________‎ A. Sources of knowledge.‎ B.The reason why some people think college useless.‎ C. The disadvantages of not being educated.‎ D. Benefits of attending college.‎ C Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.‎ Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.‎ Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.‎ But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away ‎ from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.‎ It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.‎ ‎8. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?‎ A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.‎ B.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.‎ C. To advertise the cartoon made by students.‎ D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.‎ ‎9. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?‎ A. His social skills could be affected.‎ B. He might get separated from his friends and family.‎ C. He will cause the destruction of the world.‎ D. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.‎ ‎10. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?‎ A. Objective. B. Supportive.‎ C. Optimistic. D. Opposed.‎ ‎11. What may the passage talk about next?‎ A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.‎ B. People who are addicted to phubbing.‎ C. The possible consequences of phubbing.‎ D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.‎ D October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators (捐赠者) will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.‎ Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after washing the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.‎ Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub(揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. At last, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.‎ The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗) or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect(感染) themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.‎ ‎12. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. Hand washing: so important---it gets a day of its own.‎ B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.‎ C. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.‎ D. Want to live a longer life?---wash your hands.‎ ‎13. The underlined word “rinse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.‎ A.to wash away the soap B. to rub your hands carefully C. to dry your hands D. to clean your fingers ‎14. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.‎ A. how to wash your hands correctly B. why washing hands with soap is so important C. the dangers of washing hands without soap D. when we should especially wash our hands with soap ‎15. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?‎ A. Advertisement B. Public service C. Health report D. Advertisement. ‎ 第二节阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 (共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ Making a public speaking is the thing that most people don’t want to do.
