‎2016—2017上学期高二第二次月考试卷 高二英语 ‎ 时间：100分钟 分数：120分 命题人：王颖 审核人：李晓璐 第一部分：听力（略）‎ 第二部分：阅读理解（ 共 2 节，满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ A After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.‎ One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.‎ The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.‎ ‎21. The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that .‎ A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him B. he had to live in a dark and silent world C. he was struck by the lightning once more D. nobody in the world cared about him ‎22. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?‎ A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree. B. Driving a car.‎ C. Taking a walk with a stick. D. Lying on the ground.‎ ‎23. We can infer from the text that .‎ A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery B. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured C. Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock D. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery ‎24. What's the best title of the whole passage?‎ A. A Terrible Electrical Accident B. Robert Edwards and His Wife C. What a Sudden Shock D. An Unforgettable Experience B Want to live longer? Win an Oscar.‎ A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.‎ So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”, she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).‎ The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手). Actors who have won more than once, like Hepburn, live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.‎ ‎“We found that they died from the same things we all die from—cancer, heart disease, but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr. Donald Redelmeier, the leading author of the study. Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one’s soul become more full of life.‎ ‎“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier, “or that people should go out and take acting courses. Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study’s implied conclusion, he says, is that doctors should ask about their patients’ personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.‎ Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Redelmeier says, “She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”‎ ‎“We found, too, those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.‎ ‎ 25. Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either. We can tell__________.‎ A. Tom probably will have a longer life than Peter.‎ B. Peter probably will have a longer life than Tom C. Both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancy D. Both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life.‎ ‎26. According to the passage, we know __________.‎ A. When Katharine Hepburn was 94, she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizes B. In general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person’s life expectancy.‎ C. That Gwyneth Paltrow’s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the study.‎ D. If you want to live a happy and long life, you should take acting courses and win Oscars.‎ ‎27.What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Most Oscar Winners Live Longer Lives B. How to Live a Long Life C. A New Study about Longevity D. An Amazing Finding C World leaders arrived at the G20 summit in Australia this weekend to help resolve serious global crises - but they stayed for the koalas. 　　All heads of state at the summit, from the ‘leader of the free world’ President Obama to the ‘Iron Chancellor’ Angela Merkel, proved powerless against the lovely animals. 　　Even the usually stone-faced Vladimir Putin, was pictured cracking a rare smile while embracing a koala, who appeared to be trying to escape the Russian president’s iron grip. 　　President Obama was equally overjoyed to spend some quality time with a koala named 'Jimbelung.' But Obama's new furry friend did not seem very much impressed with the US ‎ commander-in-chief, and instead focused his attention on the koala in the arms of Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott. 　　At one point, the two furry creatures even exchanged a kiss, to the obvious delight of Obama and Abbott. 　　Meanwhile the ladies of the G20 were also treated to the unique Australian experience and were led by Mr. Abbott's wife, Margie, through Brisbane's Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on Saturday. 　　The G20 leaders' wives also got chances to hug some koalas and feed some Kangaroos. Chinese President Xi Jinping's wife Peng Liyuan and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's wife Laureen were among the first ladies who laughed nervously as a couple of large kangaroos sidled(慢慢走近) up to help themselves to the offered food. 　　But the “ Koala diplomacy(考拉外交)” could only carry the western leaders so far.‎ ‎28.Where can we most probably find this passage?‎ A. In a magazine B. In a newspaper C. In a science book D. In a travel journal ‎29.What does the underlined part “ Obama’s new furry friend” in Para. 4 most probably mean?‎ A. Angela Merkel B. Putin C. Tony Abbott D. Jimbelung ‎30.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?‎ A. The purpose of the G20 summit is to solve serious global crises.‎ B. Not all heads attending the Summit loved koalas.‎ C. The G20 leaders’ wives didn’t love koalas at all.‎ D. Putin loves smiling from time to time.‎ ‎31.What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The G20 Summit B. Leaders Gathered in Australia C. Koala Diplomacy D. Lovely Koala ‎ ‎ D Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered(干预) with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man’s interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of ‎ the Kaibab plateau （凯亚巴布高原） of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.‎ The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large-sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most enchanting（迷人的）region it has ever been our privilege to visit. "This was also the living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.‎ ‎ Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer’s enemies. In 25 years’ time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.‎ The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd，but a far greater loss resulted from starvation and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.‎ ‎32. The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from ________ .‎ A. turning the forest into cultivated land B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life C. forest fires caused by man’s carelessness D. cutting the trees for building materials ‎33. "Engelmann spruce"（Para. 2）is most likely the name of ________ .‎ A. a tree B. an animal C. a mountain D. a game ‎34. The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in ________ years’ time.‎ A.25 B.6 C.18 D.12‎ ‎35. Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of _______.‎ A. the cold B. the organized kill C. the shortage of food D. the poor management 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填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答通卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.‎ ‎ 36 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.‎ But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.‎ Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.‎ Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.‎ Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39 ‎ ‎ Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.‎ ‎ Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.‎ A. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. ‎ B. When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?‎ C. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?‎ D. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.‎ E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.‎ F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.‎ G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.‎ 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。‎ You’ve probably seen blind people walking with their trusted and gentle four-legged guides-or “seeing-eye” dogs. The 41 trained dogs serve as eyes for people who can’t see, making it 42 for them to lead independent lives. 43 what you probably didn’t know is that about 80 years ago, a doctor and his patient discovered this entirely 44!‎ Many people were killed or injured during World WarⅠ. Near the end of that war, Dr. Gerhard Stalling and his 45 walked with a patient—a German soldier who had been 46 -around hospital grounds in Germany.‎ While they were walking, the doctor was 47 away. The dog and the soldier stayed outside. A few moments later, when the doctor returned, the dog and the soldier were 48 ! Searching the paths worriedly, Dr. Stalling made an astonishing 49. His pet had led the soldier 50 around the hospital grounds. And together the two 51 peacefully back toward the doctor.‎ ‎52 by what his dog could do, Dr Stalling set up the first 53 in the world to train dogs as guides. Dorothy Eustis, an American woman 54 as a dog trainer for the International Red Cross in Switzerland, was 55 to study the way Stalling trained dogs and spent several months in his school. She came away so impressed that she wrote a(an) 56 about it for the Saturday Evening Post in America.‎ A blind American man, Morris Frank, 57 the article and he wrote to Dorothy Eustis and asked that she 58 a dog for him. Dorothy Eustis took up the 59, and trained a dog, Buddy. She brought Frank over to Switzerland to join her in the training 60 .

Since students have to think about it carefully before they choose the lessons, this system can also improve the ability of making decisions.‎ On the other hand, there are, however, some disadvantages lying in this new system. For one thing, students may feel embarrassed when they talk with classmates they are not very familiar with because classrooms and classmates are all unfixed. For another thing, during breaks, students have to find the classroom where they will have the next class. Does it mean that students have less time to relax?‎ In all, this is totally a new idea. We might as well have a try and we will see if it is suitable for students or not.‎
