She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?”“No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”‎ ‎“Oh, stop. There it is!”‎ The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.‎ ‎“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We are fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.”“What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”‎ ‎“There’s some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there.”She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.‎ The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything unusual happened.‎ Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”‎ ‎“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”‎ ‎“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”‎ 21. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?‎ A. She disliked people who were nosy.‎ B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers.‎ C. She knew more about art than the man.‎ D. She mistook him for a tour guide.‎ 22. Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?‎ A. The event happening in the house was more significant.‎ B. The real museum lacked enough artworks to interest her.‎ C. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.‎ D. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.‎ 23. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A.‎ ‎ People should have good taste to enjoy life.‎ B. People should spend more time with their family.‎ C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.‎ D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.‎ B Researchers at Brigham found about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage. The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen, but other experts have strong suspicions. One is likely to blame, they say, is MP3 players.‎ An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel(分贝) level is turned up too high. High-decibel sounds can damage nerve endings, called hair cells. If a sound is loud enough, the damage can be long lasting. A loud sound can shake the membrane (薄膜) on which the hair cells sit--- “like an earthquake”. That shake can break or even uproot hair cells. When that happens, the hair cells are finished. Human ears cannot regrow hair cells. Therefore, when listening to an MP3 player, set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds.‎ On the other hand, the loudness of today’s music may not be totally under your control. Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume(音量). It’s a trend called the fight for loudness.‎ Play a CD from the 1990s. Then play a newly released tune. Don’t touch the volume control. You’ll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one. Why? Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression (压缩), a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter. The overall effect of compression is a louder recording.‎ Many musicians and sound engineers aren’t pleased. They say that compression is driving down the quality of today’s music, making it sound flat and blaring. Gray Hobish, a sound engineer, explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness. But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out. That’s important in the competition among recording companies.‎ What about listeners? Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones, all of which reduce sound quality. So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modem recordings. “To their ears,” says Hobish, “the music sounds fine. And they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music they are enjoying.”‎ ‎24. The phrase “like an earthquake” in Para. 2 aims to explain _________.‎ A. that volume can strongly affect parts of the ear B. how our body is unable to regrow hair cells C. how much damage the ear can avoid D. that hair cells are easily damaged ‎25. What can we learn about today’s music business?‎ A. New technology improves the quality of music.‎ B. Young listeners today prefer louder sound.‎ C. Music companies give up quality for loudness.‎ D. Sound engineers face fierce competition.‎ ‎26. What is probably the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Loudness War B. Your Hearing Is Going!‎ C. The Damaged Ears D. Are You a Good Listener?‎ C More and more comments sections are being shut down online.‎ Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive（行政的）editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, qctimes.com, and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers’ comments sections at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of comments—a racist remark(言辞) about democratic votes, a negative comment about police …So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections.‎ Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced it too was closing its online comments sections. The decisions don’t mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.‎ In early days of digital journalism（新闻业）, comments were seen as a key part of this news media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, that’s not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today.‎ ‎“Since we made the announcement, I’ve received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “I’ve heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. I’ve heard from people who said they wouldn’t send in letters to the editor because they were attacked so fiercely by comments, and wasn’t worth it.”‎ ‎27. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections?‎ A. They were put to wrong use.‎ B. Her website was attacked heavily.‎ C. They uncovered many illegal issues.‎ D. She was angry about readers’ comments.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 indicate about comments?‎ A. They were out of date.‎ B. They had gone against their original intentions.‎ C. They were full of sensitive information.‎ D. They couldn’t interest the audience.‎ ‎29. What was the welcome change in the early digital journalism?‎ A. Readers, having more access to news at home and abroad.‎ B. Readers’ making less negative comments on social affairs.‎ C. Readers’ freedom to express their thoughts about digital media.‎ D. Readers, getting actively involved through interaction with media.‎ ‎30. How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips’ move according to the last paragraph?‎ A. Concerned. B. Hopeful. C. Supportive. D. Surprised.‎ 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。‎ Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. ___31___‎ A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. ___32___ The point of the slow reading club is to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment.‎ Slow readers, such as the Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. ___33___ And this is a fundamental skill in building relationships.‎ ‎___34___ Screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom, left-to-right reading order we traditionally used, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Because of the Internet, we may have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.‎ Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. ___35___ “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”‎ A. The point is to sit down and exchange ideas about a certain book.‎ B. Yet technology has made us less attentive readers.‎ C. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.‎ D. But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly.‎ E. They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour.‎ F. The Internet provides us with many chances, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.‎ G. It also helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs.‎ 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。‎ You Can Do It!‎ ‎ It was my pre-medical student days when I was highly encouraged to be a cardiologist(心脏病学家）．___36__ knowing the fact that sometimes destiny（命运） holds you back， I was down___37__some disease.

The square before 57 temple became very muddy as a result of the rain. We had to walk on a path 58 (make) by a line of ‎ bricks on the muddy ground.‎ A friend of 59 ( I ) complained all the way while she stepped on the bricks walking towards me. Looking around she said very 60 (patient), “Disgusting indeed! What if I fall into the dirty water?”‎ Since I knew her very well, I 61 (nod) cautiously, hoping to comfort her by my silent sympathy.‎ A few minutes later, another friend came to the same scene. She stepped on the brick path dancing briskly and singing, “Jump, jump,...” 62 she reached the dry ground. She couldn't help shouting, “What fun it is!” With joy 63 (well) up in eyes, she made the remarks, “The most pleasant thing of the rainy season is that one can entirely be free 64 dust.”‎ In the eyes of the two there were two different worlds.

When his parents had moved the family there two years earlier to study dolphins, Walter had been unprepared for his first tropical Christmas. Sure, it was wonderful to go out in the powerboat every day to search for dolphins with his parents, but that first holiday had been strange.‎ There were no holiday parties like the ones at home in America. Even the family’s Christmas tree--- a young coconut palm tree decorated with strings of shells and seaweed---had been a shock to Walter. But that had been the first Christmas. Tomorrow would be his second, and he was looking forward to the different---but still exciting and fun--- celebration with his family.‎ ‎ Clonk, Clonk. Walter woke up to the sound of small rocks hitting the wooden shutters(窗板) on his window. “Walter! Come to the door!” whispered a voice.‎ ‎ “Coming,” Walter yawned as he jumped out of bed and padded(轻轻地走) to the door. It was his friend Hamisi, whose father was a fisherman.‎ Hamisi was breathing hard. “My father is not back yet. My mother is so worried. We do not know what has happened to him. My mother told me to run here and ask you father….” Hamisi didn’t have the chance to finish his sentence.‎ ‎“Mom! Dad!” Walter called, racing to their bedroom. “Wake up!” He jumped into his mother as she opened the bedroom door.‎ ‎“Morning,” Walter’s dad said, coming to the door. “Did you check to see if Santa’s sleigh(雪橇) managed to fly all the way to Zanzibar?”‎ Walter ignored the question. “Dad, we need your help!”‎ ‎“Baba Walter, my father is in trouble,” Hamisi said. “ His boat didn’t return this morning with the others. Your powerboat is much faster than the fishing boats. My mother wonders if you will help us look for him” Tears glistened in Hamisi’s eyes.‎ Walter’s father immediately began getting dressed. “We need people and strong rope. Hemisi, tell your family and any others you can find to get down to the beach right away.”‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ A search-and-rescue team gathered at the beach when Walter’s family arrived._______________________________.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Suddenly, Hamisi shouted,________________________________________________________________________.‎ 联考听力材料 ‎(Text 1)‎ w: Richard, your new tie is so beautiful.

Do you give students a discount?‎ W：We do but the museum will close in20 minutes．We stop selling tickets at 3：30．It’s 3:40 now.‎ M: Could you possibly let me go in for a quick look? I can pay the full price.‎ W: I'm sorry I can’t. And it is not really worth that because you won’t be able to see everything within 20 minutes. You can come back tomorrow morning. The museum opens at 9 o'clock.‎ M: Well, in that case, I'll do what you say.‎ ‎(Text 7)‎ W: You really don't know what you're talking about, Mr Cassell.‎ M: Oh, come on!

I’m a lot like that too.‎ M: So is being free of worry a message you wanted to communicate to your audience?‎ W: In a way. You need to be free. You shouldn’t be tied to your background, where you were born or anything you haven't chosen for yourself. People have dreams and I guess I'm saying that they should have belief in themselves.‎ M: It must have been an exciting atmosphere to work in. Was making the film like your own dream coming true?‎ W. Definitely, although it wasn't easy. Because everyone on the film was facing the same challenge, we came together. When we all left at the end it was sad because it was like a family breaking up.‎ M: And how does it feel to be known as a "teen" filmmaker?‎ W: I'm proud of the film I made and of all the work everyone put into it. But you know, people spend so much time talking about my age and that can make me a bit angry. In a few years 'time, I'll be older and then maybe they’ll start thinking and talking about the films, not me.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ M: And what about you, Tina? Have you got a story about a journey you remember?‎ W: Yes. I actually have. There’s one journey I'll never forget. It was about six years ago... I was going to Hong Kong from London. The flight was early in the morning, so the night before I stayed in a hotel near the airport. Well, I was in a holiday mood that night. so I went to the hotel bar and ordered a drink, you know, to celebrate. When I left the bar it was about three in the morning. The flight was at six o'clock, so it wasn’t really worth going to sleep. I watched TV for a bit but, well, I fell asleep, didn’t I? When I woke up it was after five o'clock. You know you have to get there early to check in, right? So I panicked, grabbed my bags and rushed out, looking for a taxi. Of course-no taxis anywhere. Luckily, after a few minutes running up and down the street an airport bus came along so I got on that. When I got there it was actually nearly six so I thought the gate must have been closed, and I must miss the plane. The whole terminal was empty except for a huge crowd of people at one end and luckily, that was the queue for my fight. It was delayed! Yeah, I was really pleased…, but the delay went on from one hour to four hours…Finally, at around three o'clock the plane took off.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2018学年第一学期高二期中联考 英语答案 听力：‎ ‎1-20：BABCB ACCAB AACBC BBAAC 阅读理解：‎ ‎21-30：DAC ACB ABDC ‎31-35: D E G B C 完型填空：‎ ‎36—55：DBACA DBDCA BADAC ADCAC 语法填空：‎ ‎56. when 57. the 58. made 59. mine 60. impatiently ‎61. nodded 62. until 63. welling 64. from/of 65. worlds 应用文：‎ 参考范文：‎ On August 25th, our school English Club organized a visit to Hangzhou Wildlife Park, the largest one in the east, for all its members.‎ Upon arrival, we visited the indoor exhibition, where we admired colorful pictures of different species of butterflies, dinosaur fossils and other wild animals.
