‎2018-2019学年度第一学期高二期中考试 英语试题(文理科)‎ 本试卷满分150分 考试时间100分钟 命题人 耿青山 第一部分 听力(略)‎ 第二部分 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)‎ ‎  根据下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎ A lot of kids have dreams they will never achieve due to the limitations of their little bodies. They want to fly, or to become a dinosaur, or to learn how to shoot webs out of their fingers like Spiderman.‎ ‎ Luka Tavcar, 12, has muscular dystrophy(萎缩) and is totally dependent on his wheelchair. Nevertheless, late last year, he had an inspired plan: to be photographed walking around and having fun.‎ ‎ He approached Matej Peljhan, an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation(康复) center near Ljubljana, Slovenia, where Luka is a patient.‎ ‎ At first, Peljhan was perplexed. How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion? “Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun, but it seemed impossible,” he says.‎ ‎ Then Peljhan had a brainstorm: Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and, with the help of an assistant, Peljhan would pose the boy as if he were jumping, climbing stairs, moving downhill on a skateboard, and playing basketball. Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above. The photos took about a month to produce; all were shot early this year.‎ ‎ Peljhan, who lost his right arm and left eye as a child, says his disabilities motivated him to make the photographs. “I understand people with limitations,” he says.‎ ‎ He named the series the little Prince after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust, hope and friendship. Luka loves the photos.‎ ‎ Peljhan himself understands what it is like to live with limitations- he lost his right arm and left eye as a child. “He wants to stay positive,” the photographer explains. “Luka’s imagination helps him forget his phisical limitation”, says Peljhan. “He’s fragile, but he can see the world differently.”‎ ‎21. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A.‎ Confused B.‎ Annoyed C.‎ Confident D.‎ Disappointed ‎22. What drove Peljhan to take pictures of Luka?‎ A.‎ The payment Luka offered.‎ B.‎ Luka’s strong determination.‎ C.‎ His own phisical limitations.‎ D.‎ The friendship between the two.‎ ‎23. According to the passage the pictures .‎ A.‎ make Luka feel sad B.‎ make Luka stay positive C.‎ encourage Luka to do exercise D.‎ interest Luka in photographing B One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.‎ We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,‎ ‎“May I get you something ?”‎ ‎“A coffee would be nice.”‎ Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,‎ ‎“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”‎ ‎“Who?”‎ ‎“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”‎ I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!‎ My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?‎ A.‎ Unfriendly B.‎ Untidy C.‎ Gentle D.‎ Kind ‎25. The author bought coffee for the old man because ‎ A.‎ he thought the old man was poor.‎ B.‎ he wanted to start a conversation.‎ C.‎ he intended to show his politeness.‎ D.‎ he would like to thank the old man.‎ ‎26. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?‎ A.‎ Proud B.‎ Pitiful C.‎ Astonished D.‎ Regretful ‎27. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?‎ A.‎ We should learn to be generous.‎ B.‎ It is honorable to help those in need.‎ C.‎ People in high positions are not like what we expect.‎ D.‎ We should avoid judging people by their appearances.‎ C People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations(康乃馨). A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries(烘焙店), telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?‎ A.‎ Parents bring up children.‎ B.‎ Parents give love and care to children.‎ C.‎ Parents educate children to be good persons. ‎ D.‎ Parents pass away before children grow up.‎ ‎29. What do you think “florists” do?‎ A.‎ They sell flowers. ‎ B.‎ They make and sell bread.‎ C.‎ They offer enough room for having family parties.‎ D.‎ They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.‎ ‎30. What do you know from the passage A.‎ Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.‎ B.‎ Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.‎ C.‎ Not all the children respect their parents.‎ D.‎ Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.‎ ‎31. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, .‎ A.‎ people usually have family parties ‎ B.‎ everyone goes to visit the cemetery C.‎ children always go to parents’ home ‎ D.‎ hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts D Black Friday-the day after Thanksgiving Day in the United States-signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and the Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.‎ Black Friday has become a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers(零售商)routinely open their doors as early as 4 am and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intend on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they will be the first in line when the doors open.‎ But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid 1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to ciculate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms, operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usuallay shown “in black ink”. Thus , being in the black is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.‎ Recently, for those who are too busy to stop on Black Friday, or who just don’t want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday for shoppers can take advantage of the comfort of getting many online deals from their homes.‎ ‎32. On Black Friday, the Americans .‎ A.‎ don’t have to go to work as usual B.‎ look exactly like the Canadians C.‎ are usually busy doing shopping D.‎ stay at home and relax themselves ‎33. The underlined word “lure” in paragraph 2 probably means .‎ A.‎ attract B.‎ protect C.‎ persuade D.‎ remind ‎34. How do the retailers understand Black Friday?‎ A.‎ It has the same meaning as Boxing Day.‎ B.‎ They usually lose some money on the day.‎ C.‎ It always keeps them very busy all day.‎ D.‎ It probably brings them more money.‎ ‎35. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .‎ A.‎ state the development of Cyber Monday B.‎ tell the difference between red and black C.‎ introduce Black Friday to the readers D.‎ explain the meaning of Boxing Day 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。‎ ‎  If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 .‎ ‎  The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.‎ ‎  I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.‎ ‎  39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.‎ ‎  40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.
