甘肃省临夏中学2017—2018学年第一学期期末考试卷 年级：高二 科目：英语 座位号 第一部分 阅读理解（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 第一节（共10小题：每小题2分，满分20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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ A Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.‎ Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You are frightened and burn with shame.‎ What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.‎ Clicking “send” too soon Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.‎ Writing the wrong name The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect order of Chinese names).‎ Clicking “reply all” unintentionally You accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.‎ Sending an offensive message to its subject The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it ‎ to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.‎ 1. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______. ‎ A. curious     B. tired    C. terrible    D. funny ‎ ‎2. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.‎ A. learn to write the name correctly B. tell the receiver to ignore the error C. send a short notice to everyone D. apologize in a serious manner ‎ ‎3. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?‎ A. By talking to the receiver face to face.‎ B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.‎ C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.‎ D. By promising not to offend the receiver again.‎ ‎4. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Defining email errors.‎ B. Reducing email mistakes.‎ C. Improving email writing.‎ D. Handling email accidents.‎ B ‎ I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.‎ One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t ‎ stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.‎ Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.‎ But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.‎ ‎5. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.‎ A. she might be recognized B. being found blind was embarrassing C. she was normal and independent D. asking for help looked silly ‎6. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.‎ A. began to run B. hit a person as usual C. hit a lamppost by accident D. was caught by something ‎7. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.‎ A. to find people there B. to find more buses there C. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful there C Monthly Talks at London Canal Museum Our monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August. Admission is at normal charges and you don’t need to book. They end around 21:00.‎ November 7th The Canal Pioneers, by Chris Lewis. James Brindley is recognized as one of the leading early canal engineers. He was also a major player in training others in the art of nanal planning and building. Chris Lewis will explain how Brindley made such a positive contribution to the education of that group of early “civil engineers”.‎ December 5th Ice for the Metropolis, by Malcolm Tucker. Well before the arrival of freezers, there was a demand for ice for food preservation and catering, Malcolm will explain the history of importing natural ice and the technology of building ice wells, and how London’s ice trade grew.‎ February 6th An Update on the Cotsword Canals, by Liz Payne. The Smoudwater Canal is moving towards reopenling. The Thames and Severn Canal will take a little longer. We will have a report on the present state of play.‎ March 6th Eyots and Aits- Thames Islands, by Miranda Vickers. The Thames had many islands. Miranda has undertaken a review of all of them.

Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!‎ ‎ 11  I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worth adding. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures. ‎ Taking notes is important .You don’t need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he or she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might ‎ need for a test. 12  . This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about ‎ what you are writing.‎ Don’t skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. 13 . However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teacher ‎ won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.‎ ‎ 14   If  you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make mistakes.‎ Always ask questions. 15 . If you don’t understand, ask someone. ‎ Read your textbook and ‎ notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if ‎ you need one.‎ A. Be prepared.‎ B. Write in your own words.‎ C. Pay attention to everything the teacher says.‎ D. Staying organized will be helpful.‎ E. There is no shame in needing some help.‎ F. It is true that you could make up the work.‎ G. Keep a good attitude towards things.‎ 第二部分　英语知识运用（共两节，满分40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。‎ Having been out of work for two years because of poor health, I decided to look for a part-time job. ‎ I 16 and interviewed again and again with no progress.
