To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.‎ Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.‎ Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”‎ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans’ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.‎ 1. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 about the An’s family?‎ A. They started a business in 1975.‎ B. They left Vietnam without much money.‎ C. They bought a restaurant in San Francisco.‎ D. They opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles.‎ 2. What can we infer about the An’s daughters?‎ A. They did not finish their college education.‎ B. They could not bear to work in the family business.‎ C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.‎ D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.‎ 3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. How to Run a Corporation B. Strength Comes from Peace C. How to Achieve a Big Dream D. Family Unity Builds Success B As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder ( 文 件 夹 ). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory”.‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the computer. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ 1. Why does the passage begin with two questions?‎ A. To introduce the main topic. B. To show the authors attitude.‎ C. To describe how to use the Internet. D. To explain how to store information.‎ 2. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. The Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ A. The first group did not try to remember the information.‎ B. The second group did not understand the information.‎ 2. What do the underlined words “transactive memory” mean in Para.3?‎ A. Keeping the information in mind.‎ B. Changing the quantity of information.‎ C. Organizing information like a computer.‎ D. Remembering how to find the information.‎ C Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.‎ Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.‎ This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂) that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.‎ What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.‎ In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊条), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”‎ 3. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?‎ A. The previous methods are not very popular.‎ A. The previous methods can be done easily.‎ B. People have to inject liquid to the gas.‎ C. People have widely accepted previous methods.‎ 2. What is the special part of the new method?‎ A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.‎ B. It can be done in any kind of container.‎ C. It doesn’t need extreme temperature.‎ D. It can produce much solid carbon.‎ 3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The method will make fossil oil disappear.‎ B. The method will be used to make new vehicles.‎ C. The method will make developed countries more powerful.‎ D. The method will influence the future industry.‎ 4. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. How to change carbon into CO2.‎ B. A new carbon capture technology.‎ C. A new technology to get useful carbon.‎ D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.‎ 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。‎ Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university”. That sounds British. (31) .‎ College, university: what’s the difference? (32) . Both offer undergraduates degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.‎ But many colleges do not offer graduates studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. (33) .‎ Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word ‎“university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. (34)_ . In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Unusually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.‎ The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. (35) . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.‎ Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or medical school within a college or university.‎ A. A college can also be a part of a university.‎ B. They offer more programs and do more researches C. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.‎ D. Colleges and universities have many things in common.‎ E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.‎ F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college”.‎ G. ‎“Colleges” came from “collegium”, a Latin word with a similar meaning.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共 20 小题；每小题 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood?

My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.‎ When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.‎ Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.‎ 注意：‎ 1. 所续写短文的字数应为 150 左右;‎ 2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词；‎ 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语都为你写好；‎ 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1：‎ I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. ‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Suddenly my wife walked up to me. ‎ 郧阳中学、恩施高中、随州二中、沙市中学高二上第三次考试 高二英语参考答案 一、听力 ‎1-5 ABCBC 6-10 ACABA 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 CCBAB 二、阅读 ‎21-23：BCD 24-26：ACD 27-30：ACDB 31-35：FDBGA 三、完形 ‎36-40：CBABD 41-45：BACDC 46-50：DCBAD 51-55：CDABA 四、语法填空 ‎56.

He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of the gifts of his and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.‎ ‎    Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I think she was showing off her efforts on the decoration but she took off a small box and passes it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read “We will never forget you. Merry Christmas!” Under the letter was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved with tears.‎ ‎ ‎ 高中英语考试听力部分录音材料 Text 1‎ W: How’s your English going?‎ M: Oh, it’s much better these days.
