2017-2018 学年内蒙古赤峰二中高二 4 月月考 英语试题 第一部分：听力（略） 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。 A Welcome to Orlando! It has a host of attractions and activities. Ready to join the party and plan a visit to O-Town? Just print out our list that suits your style. Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure The addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was among the list of must-visits for theme park enthusiasts. Each of the park’s “islands” — Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, and The Lost Continent — has unique appeal in the form of rides and interactive attractions. (407-363-8000) Gatorland It bills itself as “Orlando’s best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money. Catch Gatorland’s animals and handler（ 驯 化 ） shows in the afternoon. There’s a nighttime run as well, including the Gator Night Shine and various activities. Gatorland ranks as a comparative theme-park bargain. (407-855-5496) Aquatica One of the city’s most unique water parks, Aquatica is a fantastical world of twisting, turning rides and sparkling white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of terror with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is an eight-story mind-bender of a plummet（垂直落下） that is not for the weak heart. The less exciting will still find plenty of fun splashing from one giant wave pool to another or drifting down the lazy river through a world of unusual fish. You can also watch the black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins underwater. (407-351-3600) Warbird Adventures Few attractions are more hands-on historic than Warbird Adventures, which offers thrill-seekers the opportunity to fly like the hero aces of World War II in the North American T-6 Texan. Flights range from 15 minutes to an hour. A visit to the nearby Kissimmee Air Museum is a wonderful way to round out the experience. (407-870-7366) 1. For fans of Harry Potter, there’s _____. A. Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure B. Gatorland C. Aquatica D. Warbird Adventures 2. According to the fourth paragraph, we know Ihu’s Breakaway Falls _____. A. needs a strong heart B. lies under the water C. ranges from 15 minutes to an hour D. is suitable for some after-park drinks 3. If you want to experience the fly like a hero in World War II, you can call ______. A. 407-363-8000 B. 407-855-5496 C. 407-351-3600 D. 407-870-7366 B A handsome middle-aged man walked quietly into the café and sat down. Before he ordered, he couldn’t help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel （翻领）of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about. The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, “This?” With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said, “Hey, sorry, man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!” The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.” “Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?” “No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.” “Umm,” the young replied, “yeah.” “And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife,” the man continued. “And she’s okay, too?” the young guy asked. “Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts, and her health.” “Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?” “No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ……” Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry, mister.” “So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here…” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “……?” 4. The young men joked about the middle-aged man’s _____. A. looks B. ribbon C. attitude D. clothes 5. What may have happened to the man’s daughter? A. She died of breast cancer. B. She was ill with cancer. C. She had gone abroad. D. She got married. 6. What will the young man probably ask? A. May I give it to my mother? B. Can you help me put it on? C. Will you please forgive me? D. Shall we have some drink together? 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. An Unusual Meeting. B. An Impressive Lesson. C. Be Grateful to Your Beloved. D. Little Pink Ribbon C John D. Rockefeller once said, “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (日用品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. ” Wouldn’t you suppose that every college in the land would conduct courses to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But if there was one, it would not escape my attention. The University of Chicago conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study. That survey cost $ 25,000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and that their second interest is people; how to understand and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking. So the committee conducting this survey decided to conduct such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject and found none. Finally they approached one of the world’s outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.” I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical handbook on human relations. Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it. 8. What does John D. Rockefeller suggest about the ability to deal with people? A. It is as easy as drinking a coffee. B. It is very important in everyday life. C. It is affordable for everybody. D. It is more expensive than expected. 9. What is the purpose of the survey conducted by the University of Chicago? A. To find out what adults desire to learn. B. To show what the adults’ ambitions are. C. To identify what skill is most needed for adults. D. To explain what changed people’s life. 10. What challenge did the committee have to face when conducting the course? A. Less financial support. B. No proper textbook available. C. Fewer qualified teachers. D. Lack of enough appeal. 11. We can learn that the author wrote a book about . A. conducting a scientific survey B. changing your way of thinking C. developing good human relations D. giving a practical business course D 2017 was an influential year for artificial intelligence ( 人 工 智 能 ), not just in terms of the advancement of the technology itself, but also for the development of our understanding of AI’s impact on our society. When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ignore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into most of our lives. Thanks to the development of AI, we are on the highway of IA, (human) intelligence augmentation (增强). Despite the great steps we’ve made in AI development and will continue to make in 2018, we are still years away from AI fully replacing human jobs. However, we are much closer to seeing the impact of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence. Take a doctor for example: AI will soon be able to detect and diagnose common diseases more quickly and accurately than humans. Now, doctors can spend more of their time explaining the possible diagnoses, communicating with patients and developing unique, reliable treatment plans that are most effective for each specific patient. However, AI is so powerful and its adoption will only accelerate as it begins to help our work and allow us to focus on the parts of our job that are most important. But part of why AI is so attractive is also why it’s so dangerous. That is, that same power allows AI that are making incorrect decisions to do so with greater speed and impact than humans have ever had. This is why, as AI becomes more useful in 2018, it will also become more closely examined. 2018 will be the year when companies purchasing AI products don’t just ask about the power of AI—they will make sure that it is tested carefully in advance, minimizing their potential unexpected impact. 12. What does the author suggest in the first two paragraphs? A. Many jobs should be replaced by AI in the future. B. People should think more about the impact of AI. C. AI is too abstract for ordinary people to understand. D. People care little about the development of AI. 13. The author takes the example of “the doctor” to explain that . A. AI always makes right decisions B. doctors will lose their jobs very soon C. human intelligence grows with AI D. humans are no better than AI in medicine 14. What will be the focus about AI in 2018 according to the author’s prediction? A. The safety of AI. B. The possibility of replacing humans. C. Cost reduction. D. Power augmentation. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. ___16___ But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!), I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. ____17____ Here are some of the lessons I have learned: Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. ____18____ And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will. ____19____— how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close. When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. ____20____ A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can? A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.[ B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech. D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become. E. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. F. When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there. G. No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每题 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。 It was a summer evening almost 30 years ago.

A large number of shared bikes can be found and rented at a low price in public places. More over, you can park the bike almost anywhere you like. In this way, shared hikes make it convenient for people to travel, which in turn ease the traffic pressure. However, bicycle-sharing system also brings some problems. For instance, some people deliberately destroy the QR code, and even throw the bike into the river. In my opinion, some measures should be taken to solve these problem. Firstly, the government should make more strict laws to regulate the management of bicycle-sharing system. Secondly, the public should raise their awareness of using shared bikes reasonably. In the end I call on everyone to protect public services to make our life more beautiful.
