高二英语试题 ‎(总分: 150分 考试时间: 120分钟)‎ 第一部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分60分）‎ 第一节  （共15小题;每小题3分，满分45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 ，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎             A           ‎ You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860-1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson (1907-1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the  U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks (1913-2005) On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it ‎ also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks. 1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history? A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills. C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background. 2. What is the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm? A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court. C. The discrimination against women. D. The poor financial conditions. 3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US? A. Jane Addams.   B. Rachel Carson.    ‎ C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks 4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text? A. They are highly educated.     B. They are truly creative. C. They are pioneers.           D. They are peace-lovers.‎ B ‎  An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, "What is that?" The son replied, "That is a crow."      After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is that?" The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow." After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is that?" This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow."      After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is that?" This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"      A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which ‎ he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.     "Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.      If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave." ‎ ‎5. The writer mainly intends to ______. ‎ A. tell us the function of a diary     ‎ B. call on us to love our parents C. teach us what a crow is          ‎ D. introduce a pair of son and father ‎6. The underlined word "affection" probably means______. ‎ A. puzzle      B. hatred(恨)   C. worry        D. love ‎7. We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of ______. ‎ A. eighty          B. thirty-five       C. thirty-eight     D. forty-five ‎8. Why did the father ask his son questions about the crow?‎ ‎ A. Because he wanted to test his son’s patience.   B. Because he had difficulty in hearing.        C. Because he didn’t want to be treated as a burden. D. Because he tried to remind his son of what he did in the past .‎ C English is a little like a living thing that continues to grow. English began to grow more quickly when William Caxton returned to Britain in the year 1476. He had been in Holland and other areas of Europe where he had learned printing. He returned ‎ to Britain with the first printing press. The printing press made it possible for almost anyone to buy a book. It helped spread education and the English language. Slowly, during the 1500s, English became the modern language we would recognize. English speakers today would be able to communicate with English speakers in the last part of the 16th Century.‎ It was during this time period that the greatest writer in English produced his work. His name was William Shakespeare (1564—1616). His plays continue to be printed, acted in theaters, and seen in motion pictures almost four hundred years after his death.‎ Experts say that Shakespeare’s work was written to be performed on the stage, not to be read. Yet every sound of his words can produce word pictures, and provide feelings of anger, fear, and laughter. Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet is so sad that people cry when they see this famous story.‎ The development of the English language took a giant step just nine years before the death of William Shakespeare, and Britain started to have colonies in North America, Africa and Asia. The English language also became part of these colonies. And the English language grew as words from the native languages were added.‎ English speakers also continue to invent new words by linking old words together. A good example is the words "motor" and "hotel". Many years ago someone linked them together into the word "motel". A motel is a small hotel near a road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night. Other words may come from the first letters of names of groups or devices. A device to find objects that cannot be seen called Radio Detecting and Ranging became "Radar"; the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO.‎ ‎9. When did English become the modern language we would recognize?‎ ‎ A. In 1476. B. In the 1500s. ‎ C. In the 15th Century. D. In the 1900s ‎10. What role did William Caxton play in the English language?‎ A. He invented the first printing press.‎ B. He introduced English into Holland and other areas of Europe.‎ C. He introduced printing to England.‎ D. He printed many books about William Shakespeare.‎ ‎11. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?‎ A. The influence of the death of William Shakespeare.‎ B. Britain started to have colonies in other continents.‎ C. English was popular in British colonies.‎ D. The English language spread and grew.‎ ‎ D In this day and age when we tend to throw away toys that are even slightly worn, it is tough to believe that there is a "hospital" where dolls as well as all kinds of beloved stuffed animals can be repaired and brought back to their original glory. What is even more amazing is that such a place has existed for a century and is still going strong. Welcome to Sydney’s "Original Doll Hospital" that celebrated its 100th birthday, on February 22nd, 2013.‎ The unique business came into being rather accidentally. In 1913, a general store owner in Sydney began importing Japanese dolls. However, the rubber bands that held them together would often break on the boat journey. Luckily for him, his brother Harold Chapman Sr., was a good handyman and set aside a little "hospital" area in the store, to repair the delicate toys.‎ In 1930, Chapman’s son also named Harold, relocated the doll hospital and expanded the business even further, by agreeing to repair anything that could be fixed—no matter how big or small. While business was robust (稳固的), the real boom came in 1938 during World War Ⅱ. Faced with extreme restrictions, new dolls and toys became rare, and young girls and boys had no choice but to get their existing ones, lovingly repaired—by one of the 70 "doctors" on the staff.‎ While it does not have as many employees today, the hospital that is run by his son Geoff Chapman now sits in a good location with a beautiful store—one that features everything a little girl could possibly wish for—from new to used, to even extremely rare and valuable dolls.‎ Though it may not appear to be, the doctors say their jobs are very interesting, ‎ given that no two dolls are the same or need the same repairs and that just like medical doctors, they have no idea what challenge they will have to face, when they come to work each day. The one advantage is that there are no emergency night calls to worry about!‎ ‎12. What do we know about the doll hospital now?‎ ‎ A. It is not as good as it used to be. B. It is still developing quickly. ‎ C. It runs in debt. D. It faces many challenges.‎ ‎13. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. How the doll hospital came into being.‎ B. Harold was a handy man.‎ C. Dolls from Japan were not of high quality.‎ D. The good luck of a general store owner.‎ ‎14. The doll hospital experienced rapid development______. ‎ A. on its 100th birthday B. in 1913‎ C. during World WarⅡ D. in 1930‎ ‎15. According to the last paragraph, doctors in the doll hospital ________.‎ A. enjoy their job very much B. face few challenges because the work is simple C. are better paid than medical doctors D. enjoy just one advantage 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。          ‎ Computer games are very popular．It is natural for people to want to win，so playing against a computer or against a friend on the computer can be difficult to stop．___16___‎ Computer games do have their advantages.
