‎ 2017-2018学年甘肃省通渭县二中高二上学期期末考试 英 语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。共120分。‎ 第Ⅰ卷 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter（住所）as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.‎ Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.‎ If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.‎ ‎1．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?‎ A．They are often forgotten by their owners. B．They are used to living outdoors.‎ C．They build their own shelters. D．They like to stay in warm places.‎ ‎2．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?‎ A. To know when to bring them inside. B. To keep them from eating bad food.‎ C. To help them find shelters. D. To keep them company.‎ ‎3．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather，they may ______.‎ A. run short of clean water B. dig deep holes for fun C. dirty the snow nearby D. get lost in the wild ‎4．What is the purpose of this text?‎ A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice.‎ C. To tell an interesting story. D. To present a research result.‎ B The National Gallery Description:‎ The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance.‎ Layout:‎ The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.‎ The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo de Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.‎ The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.‎ The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.‎ Opening Hours:‎ The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm（Fridays 10am to 9pm）and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.‎ Getting There:‎ Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross（2-minute walk）, Leicester Square(3-minute walk), Embankment（7-minute walk）, and Piccadilly Circus（8-minute walk）.‎ ‎5. In which century’s collection can you see religious paintings?‎ A．The 13th B．The 17th ‎ C．The 18th D．The 20th ‎6. Where are Leonardo da Vinci’s works shown?‎ A. In the East Wing. B. In the main West Wing. ‎ C. In the Sainsbury Wing. D. In the North Wing.‎ ‎7．Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery?‎ A. Piccadilly Circus. B. Leicester Square. ‎ C. Embankment. D. Charing Cross.‎ C It’s not easy being a teenager(青少年)---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. ‎ Expect a lot from your child，just not everything. Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist，the more likely that he’ll calm up. Instead，let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen to personal conversations. ‎ Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for l5 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job. ‎ ‎8. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents_________.‎ A. how to get along with a teenager B. how to respect a teenager C. how to understand a teenager D. how to help a teenager grow up ‎9. What does the phrase “calm up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. become excited B. show respect ‎ C. refuse to talk D. seek help ‎10. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager______.‎ A. to use the phone in a sensible way B. to pay for his own telephone C. to share the phone with friends D. to answer the phone quickly ‎11. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?‎ A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs. B. Give him advice only when necessary.‎ C. Let him have his own telephone. D. Not talk about personal things with him. ‎ D No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.‎ All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.‎ I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.‎ I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.‎ ‎12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?‎ A. Extending your life B. Saving your life ‎ C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life ‎13. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________. ‎ A. to understand life. B. to enjoy poetry. ‎ C. to become teachers. D. to become poets ‎14. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?‎ A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.‎ B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.‎ C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses ‎15. The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ‎ A. “build a booth” B. “provide equipment”‎ C. “leave a certain amount of time” D. “set aside enough space”‎ 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。‎ 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。‎ The jobs of the future have not yet been invented．16 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds．‎ ‎1．Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious． 17 Ask kids，“What ingredients（配料） can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？” and then try them out．Did those ingredients make the pancakes better？What could we try next time?‎ ‎2．Creativity True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it． 18 There are a dozen different things you can do with them．Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity．‎ ‎3．Interpersonal Skills Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids．We know what's going on inside our own head，but what about others？Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions． 19 “Why do you think she's crying？”“Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？”“If someone were to do that to you，how would you feel？”‎ ‎4． 20 ‎ Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas — music，acting，drawing，building，photography．You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another．‎ A. Self Expression B. Encourage kids to cook with you．‎ C. And we can't forget science education．‎ D. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways．‎ E. So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist?‎ F. Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill．‎ G. We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories．‎ 第二部分 基础知识（共30小题，每小题1.5分，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题，每小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，并在答且卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A little boy invited his mother to attend his school’s first teacher-parent parent meeting.

Even more upsetting was the fact42 the driver didn’t stop afterward.43 , I was not injured and my bicycle was damaged, but still usable.‎ Even days after I reported the event to the police, they failed to 44 (proper)solve this situation or even return my calls. Eventually, I decided 45 (contact) University Student Legal Services for the help about this matter. The small damage may not seem worth all 46 trouble, but what if I had been seriously 47 (injure)? Will anyone see punishment for breaking traffic laws and damaging my property?‎ Unfortunately, my experience is common, and 48 (accident) between bikes and cars occur far too often.

I urge both cyclists and motorists to become familiar with their rights and duties when sharing the roads.‎ 第三部分　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。每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：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，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。‎ When I look at this picture of myself.
