While that hasn’t necessarily been a good thing for the local economy, it has kept homes extremely affordable.‎ Grand Rapids, Mich.‎ As many once-booming midwestern cities, Grand Rapids was built up during an era of prosperity and high population growth. Now it’s left with a lot of fine, old houses that are cheap. Meanwhile, the city’s economic base, which once relied heavily on the furniture-making industry, has become more diversified. Health care is now a driving force in the local economy.‎ Syracuse, N.Y.‎ Teachers and bank clerks far outnumber factory workers in this place these days. This has helped push the area’s median income to a level that is slightly higher than the national average.‎ All of those jobs are not doing much to attract new residents, however. In fact, the metro area has seen less than a 2% increase in population since 2000, compared with nearly 10% nationally. As a result, there’s very little competition for housing.‎ Akron, Ohio In the 20th century, Akron’s economy grew with the auto industry. With factory jobs harder to come by, the Akron metro area has become a slow growth zone. The population has only increased by less than 7% since 1990, a period when the U.S. population increased by about 26%.‎ ‎56. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?‎ A. To persuade people to seek employment in these cities.‎ B. To introduce the economic conditions of some American cities.‎ C. To show that home prices in most American cities are affordable.‎ D. To supply information on houses people can afford to buy.‎ ‎57. Jenny, a new graduate majoring in medicine would be advised to live in _______.‎ A. Dayton B. Grand Rapids C. Syracuse D. Akron[]‎ B The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills. Rather, it's their enormous capability for joy. A friend told me a story. One day, when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice, her kid greeted her with舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页)‎ a sad face. The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sadness. But before reaching the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk. “Mom, come here! This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen. It has ,like, a million legs. It’s amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitement．‎ Nowadays, however, when we walk into a classroom, especially in a high school, we’ll be choked by towering books and papers, and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures, pens in hand, minds dry, just as the hollow men portrayed by T. S. Eliot. Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades. Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．‎ Although joy is an unaffordable luxury in today’s increasingly fierce competition, administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities, like perseverance and obligation. The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．‎ Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine: unpleasant, but necessary and good for you. Why not think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?‎ ‎58．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? ‎ A. Summarize the previous paragraph． ‎ B. Provide some advice for the readers．‎ C. Introduce the main topic for discussion． ‎ D. Clarify some puzzling questions．‎ ‎59．What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do?‎ A. Stop giving students homework．‎ B. Involve students in meaningful activities．‎ C. Supply students with luxuries．‎ D. Arouse students’fond memories．‎ ‎60．What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Joy is the spokesman for learning． ‎ B. Pleasure is the enemy of progress．‎ C. Education is the paradise for parents． ‎ D. Exams are a never-ending war．‎ C When you’re abroad, trying to find out who to tip is never straightforward and neither is trying ‎ to work out the exact number. To make things even more complicated, the rules for tipping vary greatly from country to country. Also, within each country the rules can change, so what was appropriate last time you visited your favourite country may be completely inappropriate the next time you go. However, here are some general guidelines which might help you on your journeys.‎ You face your first dilemma as soon as you land at the airport— the taxi ride. Taxi drivers generally do expect tips, but rather than there being an exact amount, people round up the fare or just tell the driver to keep the change.‎ ‎ Your next encounter is with the hotel porter and you know he’s expecting a tip, but the problem is trying to figure out how much. It seems that in many countries round the world $1 per bag would be an appropriate amount.‎ ‎ Then, of course, you have to eat. In some countries such Ireland, Brazil, Poland and Portugal, the customary tip in restaurants is 10-15% unless a service charge is included, so the first rule of thumb is always check the bill. In other countries such as France, Italy, Germany, Australia and Spain, where a 10-15% service charge is either very common or compulsory, you may want to leave an additional tip if you think the service was particularly good, but it certainly isn’t obligatory. However, in some countries it may seem strange if you do leave a tip. In Japan, for example, the waitress might be insulted if you tipped her. In Thailand, if you left a tip, the restaurant staff probably wouldn’t be offended, but you might be pursued down the street by someone thinking you’d forgotten to take your change. In New Zealand, although it’s unlikely anyone would chase after you, you’d definitely get some odd looks if you left a trip.‎ And your problem with tipping isn’t over when you leave the restaurant. Next you discover the tour guide, the hairdresser and the toilet attendant are all expecting a tip as well, but again, how much? Perhaps the best option in these cases is to ask the local people what is acceptable or observe what others do. Of course, you could simply play safe and tip everyone you meet. ‎ ‎61. The word “dilemma” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _____________.‎ ‎ A. a difficult situation B. an early opportunity ‎ ‎ C. a high expectation D. an exact explanation ‎62. What does the writer suggest tourists do in countries like Brazil?‎ ‎ A. Never tip waiters or waitresses because they may be offended.‎ ‎ B. Play safe and leave a tip about 12% of the bill after each meal.‎ ‎ C. Make sure whether a service charge is included in the bill before giving tips.‎ ‎ D. Always check whether you have kept all your change before leaving the restaurant.‎ ‎63. People needn’t tip waiters in _____________.‎ ‎ A. Ireland and France B. Germany and Japan ‎ ‎ C. Poland and Italy D. Thailand and New Zealand ‎64. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Advantages of tipping. B. Rules of tipping.‎ ‎ C. Possible origins of tipping. D. Different opinions on tipping.‎ D I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania (罗马尼亚) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “James Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, don’t come back. When I write to you in pen, it’s safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.‎ My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed —illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.‎ With seven years’ experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He hadn’t seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, his family was waiting outside his sister’s house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the family’s stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses, the brothers loved the radios, and the children loved the candy. We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains. Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor, but nothing was as special as family dinners.‎ Romania didn’t have many dry cleaners. Most homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers, and it was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was shocking: the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (衬裙) at dinner table. The men were eating without shirts. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes —at least in my husband’s home, perhaps all across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.‎ On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. All men and women applauded for my action. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying, “She’s part of our family now.”‎ My children were 4 and 5 at the time, but they still have memories of that trip. They know how to say, “Good morning.” and “There are apricots (杏子) on the tree.” I can still say, “Do you speak Romanian?”and “I swim in the Black Sea.” But most of all, I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra, enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic .‎ ‎65.

It still happens from time to time. But it was much worse in middle school and first year of high school. Random strangers would call me ugly. Once I was walking to school and the boys behind told his friend “yo, that girl is mad ugly.” Another incident I had was in the bus filled with rowdy kids and as I pushed the door to get out, a kid I walked by saying “ugly bitch.” I had groups of girls also say that to me and would give me nasty faces. I barely have any friends due to this and that fact though I’ve been very academic all the time.‎ All of this has put me into depression. I do not like most boys and they don’t like me because I am not pretty enough and treat me like crap because of it. I get very anxious to be in public a lot and in school as I still have groups of mean girls staring me down and boys too. I have enough of feelings like an alien, I replay these horrible memories over and hate it, I hate I was born with this face, why couldn’t everyone be born equally beautiful? How can I get over this pain and not be so anxious? I think I am hideous, especially the sides of my face.‎ ‎1. 用约30个词概括上文的主要内容；‎ ‎2. 用约120个词就“如何看待一个人的外表”的主题发表看法，内容包括:‎ ‎（1） 你对一个人外表的看法和理解；‎ ‎（2） 如果你是文中女孩同班同学，你该如何帮她摆脱困境？(至少两条)‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎ ‎ 高二期中英语试卷答案 听力：‎ ‎1-5CACAB 6-10 CBABC 11-15 BABAC 16-20 ABACC ‎ 单选：‎ ‎21-25 ADBCB 26-30 CCBAD 31-35 DCDAB 完形填空：‎ ‎36-40ACDCD 41-45CCAAA 46-50BBDBC 51-55DBBDA 阅读理解： ‎ ‎56-57 DB 58-60 CBA 61-64 ACDB 65-70.

Personally, if I am blessed with a beautiful face, I should be thankful for the gift. If not, I see no reason why I should be chained by a sense of inferiority. As a saint once put it, external beauty is but skin deep, it is our inner beauty that lasts.‎ Were I the classmate of the girl, I would tell her that physical beauty is by birth, but inner beauty is cultivated after birth. If we learn to be helpful, affectionate, and forgiving which are all the valuable traits that inner beauty bears in people, we can also be a beauty. Moreover, Humans, by definition, are imperfect. It's the imperfections that make each of us unique and original. More importantly, I would give her a sincere hug and smile every day, so that she could feel the warmth and kindness of this world.‎
