He was excited to finally have a place his family could call their own. As he walked into the garage, a box caught his eye.‎ ‎ “I felt very surprised and called my wife. She wouldn’t believe what I had found,” said Ferrin, who works as an artist for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City.‎ ‎ Then he found seven more boxes, all full of cash. Ferrin quickly took the boxes to his parents’ house to count. Along with his wife, they put thousands of bills on a table. They stopped counting at $40,000, but thought there was at least $5,000 more on the table. ‎ ‎ Ferrin thought about how so much money could buy things he never thought he could afford. “I wish I could say there was never any doubt in my mind,” Ferrin said. “But the money wasn’t ours and I don’t believe you get a chance very often to do something honest and that is a lesson I hope to teach to my children.”‎ ‎ He then thought about the home’s previous (先前的) owner, Arnold Bangerter, who died in November and left the house to his son. So Ferrin called Bangerter’s son with the news. Paul Bangerter knew his father hid money away because he once found a roll of cash taped under a drawer in their home, but he never considered his dad had hidden so much over the years.‎ ‎“He grew up in hard times and people that survived that time didn’t have anything when they came out of it unless they saved it themselves,” said Paul Bangerter. “He was a saver, not a spender.”‎ ‎ “I’m a father, and I worry about the future for my kids,” Ferrin said. “I can see him putting that money away for a rainy day.”‎ ‎25. Seeing so much cash, Ferrin’s first thought was to _____.‎ A. ask his parents to hide it B. put it back where it was C. return it to its owner D. buy what he couldn’t afford before ‎26. Ferrin decided to return the money to _____.‎ A. get praised by its owner B. teach his children a good lesson C. avoid breaking the law D. meet its owner’s request ‎27. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Paul Bangerter knew nothing about his father’s savings.‎ B. Ferrin bought the house from Paul Bangerter. ‎ C. Arnold Bangerter lived a rich life in his lifetime D. Arnold Bangerter saved the money for his son.‎ C I worked in a small drug store when I was very small. I worked long and hard because that was my father’s store. I treasured my lunch breaks, not for the food or the rest, but for reading comic books about superheroes. And I could read comic books only during my lunch breaks.‎ Now I close my eyes and think back, I know what I wanted to be when I was a small kid—a superhero! Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Iron Man were some of my heroes. In all of the comic books that I read, there were two patterns(模式).‎ First, there was always a battle between good and evil. The battle was always tough. No matter how strong or how many powers the superhero had, evil could almost defeat him. Second, the superhero was never paid for his contribution to society. Superman made money as Clark Kent, a newspaper reporter. Batman made money as Bruce Wayne, a rich businessman. Spider-Man made money as Peter Parker, a photographer. Iron Man made money as Tony Stark, a rich scientist. None of them was paid for keeping peace or helping others.‎ The real superheroes don’t get paid for what they do for society!‎ I clean the local park with my friends every weekend. I help cheer up kids in the hospital. I send food to disabled people. I don’t get paid for doing these in my free time. It's correct to be fairly compensated but I simply choose not to. I feel my dream has come true!‎ Volunteering and helping people without getting paid is what superheroes do. You can be a superhero, too. ‎ ‎28. Why did the writer value the lunch breaks?‎ A. He could take delicious food.‎ B. He could free from the hard work.‎ C. He could do what he liked to do.‎ D. He could act as a superhero.‎ ‎29. The underlined word “compensated” can be replaced by “ ”.‎ ‎ A. rewarded B. refused C. admitted D. bargained ‎ ‎30. How did the writer realize his dream?‎ A. By working hard in the store. B. By performing voluntary work.‎ C. By doing a lot of reading. D. By choosing the right job.‎ ‎31. What’s the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Volunteering is fun. B. Comic books and my childhood.‎ C. Be a superhero. D. Do superheroes get paid?‎ D When you first come to the US, you may think that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going, seeking attention in a store，and pushing past others as they try to complete their tasks. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. ‎ Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. ‎ You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies(礼貌) with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they hate someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. ‎ The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse”. We begin to move hurriedly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return, whether this is in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. ‎ Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing(社交礼仪)—that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged(拖延的) small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and research professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. ‎ ‎32. Which of the following statements is wrong? ‎ A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. ‎ B. Americans attach less importance to patience. ‎ C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing. ‎ D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. ‎ ‎33. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means ______. ‎ A. a less important thing B. a first concern ‎ C. a good business D. an attractive gift ‎ ‎34. Americans evaluate a business colleague ______. ‎ A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talks ‎ C. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance ‎ ‎35. This passage mainly talks about ______. ‎ A. how Americans treasure their time ‎ B. how busy Americans are every day ‎ C. how Americans do business with foreigners ‎ D. what American way of life is like ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you’re a kid who likes to have fun and chat with friends online, here’s how you can stay safe and avoid problems.‎ Stick to safer sites. Some sites have age limits, so you might be attracted to lie about your age. It’s safer to avoid those sites until you’re older. Also, remember that many sites allow you to play games and have fun without asking you to have an account. 36 ‎ ‎ 37 If others can log in(登录) as you, you have no control over what they do or say. And everyone will think it’s you! 38 To keep people from figuring out your passwords, don’t use something easy like your birthday as your passwords.‎ Limit what you share. 39 You probably know you shouldn’t tell a stranger where you live or your phone number. But you might wonder about other information—your favorite color, or the celebrity(名人) you’d most like to meet. If you’re not sure if you should share a piece of information, ask your parents. 40 Be careful not to send pictures that allow others to see exactly where you are as well. Some phones and computers can state your location easily.‎ A. Guard your passwords carefully.‎ B. If you need an account, ask your parents first. ‎ C. Be careful not to send pictures that include other people.‎ D. Sending out information about where you are is very unsafe.‎ E. It’s a good idea to share your password with your best friends.‎ F. For that reason, don’t share your passwords with others except your parents.‎ G. It’s best to think first and type second when you’re introducing yourself online. ‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20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四个选项（A、B、C和D）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。‎ I recently was taking a trip out of town and had to get up early to catch a flight. A friend who lives ten minutes from the 41 had offered to drop me there on his way to work. I had planned to 42 my car at his house, and then carpool (拼车) with him the rest of the way. It 43 that I came across 44 traffic along the way.‎ It was a workday morning, and I didn’t want to make my friend late for 45 , so I called to let him know I could park the car at his 46 and then take the subway to the airport. He insisted that he wouldn’t be 47 . He said that he was 48 to still offer a ride. By the time I got through the traffic, he informed me, “You’ll 49 your flight if you stop at our house. We’ll 50 you at the airport!” This 51 that he, his wife, and their baby would all pack into their car, just to meet me at the airport! I was hesitant (犹豫的) to receive such an 52 . But he ‎ immediately asked “What are friends for?” Most importantly, they are childhood friends of a sister of mine, and I was always 53 with them, but from a distance.‎ ‎ 54 I arrived at the airport, they pulled up behind me shortly afterwards. We exchanged quick hugs as I 55 expressed my thanks—upon which they immediately 56 , “It’s no 57 !” I rushed inside.‎ Falling into my 58 , I received a text message from my friends “Make it?” and I texted back “On the plane”. A smile spread across my face as I turned my phone 59 . Nothing like an airport adventure deepens the friendship between childhood acquaintances (熟人). It’ 60 that kindness and friendship took flight with me. ‎ ‎41. A. airport B. subway C. station D. port ‎42. A. repair B. paint C. wash D. park ‎43.

R. Martin. This 61 (mean) that when readers finish a book, they start a new life by reading another book. Books are able to transport us in ways 62 films cannot.‎ First 63 all, reading a book gives you more context(背景). Usually, a movie director must shorten the novel to fit the story within the time frame(框架) of a movie. This means it is up to the director to decide which 64 (detail) should be left out or changed 65 (fit) the time frame. This could leave the audience feeling like 66 (them) are missing something throughout a film.‎ Furthermore, reading a book builds your vocabulary. The more books you read, the more words are exposed to you. 67 (know) more words improves your language level and helps you in conversation. When you are speaking to people that are 68 (real) bright, you can speak to them like a professor because you understand 69 they are saying. The 70 ‎ ‎(large) vocabulary you have, the more social contexts you can actively participate in.‎ 第四部分写作（共两节；满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号( )，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ ‎（试题内容见答题卡）‎ 第二节 书面表达(满分25分)‎ 假设你是赣州101中学学生李华。赣州某报报道：美国人John Smith先生徒步从美国抵达赣州，创下新的世界纪录。学校校长请你给他写一封Email，邀请他来校为同学们做一场演讲。内容包括：‎ ‎1. 邀请的目的和原因； ‎ ‎2. 告知演讲的相关信息（例如：时间、地点、听众等）；‎ ‎3. 询问对方能否前来。‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右；‎ ‎2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ Dear Mr. Smith,‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ Sincerely Yours,‎ Li Hua 赣州市2015-2016学年第一学期高二年级期末考试英语 录音稿和参考答案 Text 1‎ M: This is a nice place.‎ W: Yeah, this tablecloth is beautiful, and what nice flowers they put on the table.‎ Text 2‎ W: Jack plays the guitar?‎ M: Yeah, he’s in a heavy metal band.‎ W: I can’t wait to meet him.
