‎2019-2020学年度第二学期景胜中学高二英语期末模考试题 ‎（6月）‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节）第一节 （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．并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．‎ ‎  A ‎   Every day,  millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force﹣both online and on foot﹣ searching for the perfect gift． Aside from purchasing holiday gifts,  most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year,  including weddings,  birthdays,  anniversaries,  graduations,  and baby showers． This frequent experience of gift﹣giving can cause ________ feelings in gift﹣givers． Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift﹣giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with one's closest persons． At the same time,  many fear the thought of buying gifts;  they worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended receivers．     What is surprising is that gift﹣givers have considerable experience acting as both gift﹣givers and gift﹣recipients,  but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift． In the present research,  we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem ﹣ i．e．,  that gift﹣givers equate how much they spend with how much receivers will appreciate the gift （the more expensive the gift,  the stronger a gift﹣recipient's feelings of appreciation）． Although a link between gift price and feelings of appreciation might seem intuitive （凭直觉得到的） to gift﹣givers,  such an assumption may be unfounded． Indeed,  we propose that gift﹣ receivers will seldom tend to base their feelings of appreciation on the significance weight of a gift than givers assume．     Why do gift﹣givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift﹣recipients' feelings of appreciation?  Perhaps givers believe that bigger （i．e．,  more expensive） gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration． According to Camerer （1988）and others,  gift﹣giving represents a symbolic ritual（礼节）,  by which gift﹣givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the intended receiver and their willingness to invest resources in a future relationship． In this sense,  gift﹣givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a "stronger signal" to their intended receiver． As for gift﹣receivers,  they may not consider smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration．     In practical terms,  people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts,  but somehow never learn to measure their gift expenses according to personal insight．‎ ‎（1）The underlined word ________ most nearly means________．‎ A. unrealistic B. conflicted C. appreciative D. supportive．‎ ‎（2）The authors indicate that people value gift﹣giving because they feel it________．‎ A. functions as a form of self﹣expression．‎ B. is an inexpensive way to show appreciation．‎ C. requires the gift﹣receivers to return．‎ D. can serve to strengthen a relationship．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）The authors refer to work by Camerer and others in order to________．‎ A. offer an explanation B. introduce an argument C. question an intension D. support a conclusion． ‎ ‎  B ‎     Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice．However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．     Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris．     Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X﹣ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X﹣ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognised in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government．     In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later．     Like her mother, Irene combined family and career．Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935．Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot﹣Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956．‎ ‎（4）Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal？________‎ A.Because she received a degree in mathematics．‎ B.Because she worked as a helper to her mother．‎ C.Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic．‎ D.Because she contributed to saving the wounded．．‎ ‎（5）Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot？________‎ A.At a military hospital． B.At the University of Paris． C.At the Curie Institute． D.At the College of Sevigne．．‎ ‎（6）When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born？________‎ A.In 1927． B.In 1932． C.In 1897． D.In 1926．．‎ ‎（7）In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother？________‎ A.Irene worked with radioactivity．‎ B.Irene combined family and career．‎ C.Irene died from leukemia．‎ D.Irene won the Nobel Prize once． ‎ ‎   C ‎  There are two types of people in this world:  those who regularly wash their office coffee cup． And those who only take it off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour,  driving away their shame with the reasoning that the heat must kill the bacteria or spine thing．     Depending on which type of person you are,  this will be either mildly annoying or more﹣than﹣mildly exciting． As Heidi Mitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column,  it's fine to never wash your cup,  as long as you're not sharing it with anybody else．     There are two warnings to that statement,  infectious﹣disease expert Jeffrey Strake,  a professor at Baylor College of Medicine,  told Mitchell;  One,  it only applies if you're not sharing the cup with anybody else． And two ,  if you leave cream or sugar in your cup over the weekend,  that can certainly cause mold（霉） to grow ﹣ in which case,  wash it out．     Otherwise,  though,  there's not really much to worry about． "If I went and cultured the average unwashed coffee cup,  of course I would find bacteria．" Starke said． "But remember the vast majority came from the person who used the cup．" Even if you drink from it while sick,  it's pretty hard to re﹣infect yourself with the same cup;  most viruses don't live long outside the body,  which means that just letting your cup live in its own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative;  cleaning it with the disgusting sponge（海绵） in the office kitchen "The sponge in the break room probably has the highest bacteria count of anything in the office．" Starke said if the idea of not washing horrifies you ,  just stick the ‎ sponge in the microwave before using． Otherwise,  though,  reel free to continue ________without guilt．‎ ‎（8）What does the passage intend to tell us？________‎ A. It is harmful to drink coffee with sugar．‎ B. It's okay not to wash your coffee cup regularly．‎ C.The hot water contributes to the bacteria growing．‎ D. Drinking from unwashed coffee cups causes diseases easily．．‎ ‎（9）What do we know from Stark's words？________‎ A. The coffee cup in the office must be put in the microwave to clean．‎ B. It's easy to get infected if you often use the same unwashed cup．‎ C. The coffee cup shouldn't be shared in the office．‎ D. It's good way to grow bacteria in an unwashed cup．．‎ ‎（10）What does the underlined part "your lazy ways" refer to ？________‎ A. Leaving your coffee cup unwashed．‎ B. Sticking the sponge in the microwave C. Using Paper cups only in the office D. Cleaning your coffee cup with sponge．．‎ ‎（11）Where does the passage probably come from？________‎ A. A travel brochure． B. A science magazine． C. An official statement． D. An entertainment program ‎ D ‎    What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the University of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that a reality．The team recently introduced a human﹣shaped kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests．When teatime is over, the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away．     In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot．It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets （橱柜） or put them in the trash．It also carries a separate floor﹣cleaning robot that can operate by itself．Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels． ‎ ‎    Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge．They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks．Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well．     Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns （忧虑）．Not everyone （especially parents） would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house, ________ hot pans and sharp knives．The European Commission recently funded（资助） a project to study these concerns．According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, "Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics．" （12）Compared with Readybot，the Japanese robot________．‎ A.is more popular B.performs more jobs C.moves more quickly D.looks more like a person．‎ ‎（13）Readybot can now be used to________．‎ A.drive you around B.clean your kitchen C.prepare food for you D.work for office workers．（14）The underlined word"manipulating"can best be replaced by________．‎ A.Inventing B.avoiding C.controlling D.making．‎ ‎（15）In the last paragraph the author says that parents________．‎ A.have shown great interest in kitchen robots B.can't wait to use kitchen robots in their homes．‎ C.might think that kitchen robots could be dangerous．‎ D.found out how to operate robots safely．‎ 第二节（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．‎ ‎    Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.
