Here are 5 that helped define the national character. Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach and inspire American people.‎ Moby-Dick by Herman Melville First published in 1851, the book tells the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his continuous hunting for the white whale and draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.‎ The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1918, the book provides insight into Adams’ family, including his experience as a private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil War.‎ Leaves of Grass by Walt Whiteman When Whiteman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to define the American experience— sing for the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.‎ Poems by Emily Dickinson An enthusiastic poet whose works have had a considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickinson’s frequent use of dashes(破折号)，sporadic(零星的)capitalization of nouns, and unusual metaphors(隐喻) has contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative poets of the 19th-century American literature.‎ The song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow First published in 1855, this is Longfellow’s most popular and most recognized poem, showing the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.‎ ‎56. If you want to learn about a magic American Indian, you can choose ________.‎ A. Moby-Dick B. Leaves of Grass C. Poems D. The song of Hiawatha ‎57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Of the five works, four are poems. B. Walt Whiteman was an enthusiastic poet and singer.‎ C. The Education of Henry Adams is a non-fiction book.‎ D. Of the five books, Moby-Dick was published last.‎ B When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.‎ A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself , completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me ‎ of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.‎ When we picked up the check, the waitress said , “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes . The waitress said ,”Yes , the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you ,honey. It’s going to be okay.”‎ Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on ! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.‎ I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?‎ ‎58. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The kindness of strangers. B. Valuable friendship .‎ C. Two special experiences . D. Helping others is worthwhile ‎59. Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?‎ A. Because she didn’t like the dishes. B. Because she quarreled with her friend C. Because her friend only talked about himself. D. Because she was sad for her last relationship.‎ ‎60. The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.‎ A. being hurt by the wall B. winning the game C. taking a deep breath D. running out of energy C Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.‎ The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are ‎ packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.‎ Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.‎ But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.‎ There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.‎ ‎61. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?‎ A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.‎ C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.‎ ‎62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.‎ A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse ‎63. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality. B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.‎ C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging. D. Other products are better packaged than food.‎ ‎64. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult. B. Needless material is mostly recycled.‎ C. People like collecting recyclable waste. D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.‎ D Changing technology stimulates (刺激) the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a ‎ lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?‎ After the Industrial Revolution, machines began to replace manual workers. The process played out in agriculture as well as manufacturing so that groups of agricultural workers were replaced and forced to move to cities to make a living.‎ When machines took away much of the manual work, people became less physically active and gained weight. The sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle contributed to a worldwide spreading of overweight and related metabolic disorders such as heart disease, secondary diabetes and kidney disease .‎ As our bodies rested, our brains were forced to work harder, however. It is much more difficult to drive through an overcrowded modern city than it is to move around in a small rural village, for instance. Modern jobs are also more complex and urgent and they require more education because employees need to process new information quickly. Even during our leisure time, our brains work harder due to greater availability of books and explosion of audiovisual media, for entertainment, study, music, news, and so forth.‎ Now in the Internet age, the amount of information grows fast along with the advance of electronic technologies. The number of people with whom we interact electronically grows by leaps and bounds thanks to the ease of use of social media like Facebook and Twitter.‎ All of this extra work for our brains makes us more intelligent. That helps explain why human intelligence increases steadily from generation to generation in all developed countries, a phenomenon named the Flynn Effect. Of course, there are other reasons, including improved nutrition, better medical practices that reduce brain damage, and improved sanitation and public health that reduce diseases of childhood.‎ In the P.G Wodehouse novels, Bertie Wooster got away with being a fool because Jeeves was there to back him up with superior brain power. Similarly, people of the future are at risk of being less intelligent because machines will do their thinking for them.‎ Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. Moreover, the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.‎ Artificial intelligence exists in many fields of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes (天资) which were once ‎ thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess or recalling details in a game of Jeopardy.‎ Machine intelligence is increasing much faster than human intelligence. As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier.‎ Instead of struggling to identify ourselves to some electronic system via passwords that are secure only if they are hard to remember, the system will work harder to identify us using biometrics (生物测定学) such as fingerprints or even the individual sound of our hearts. More technologies of the future may also be voice-activated so that we will talk with machines much as we would talk to a friend.‎ In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point where it serves similar functions as a real living chief male servant of a house, fulfilling requests such as: “Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests .”‎ At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain—the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will return to an earlier or less advanced form.‎ The future is still in the fog.‎ ‎65. According to the author, the Industrial Revolution led to ________.‎ A. the development of education B. the spread of diseases in the world C. a lifestyle of being physically active D. people’s physical and mental problems ‎66. The Flynn Effect refers to the phenomenon that ________.‎ A. extra work can stimulate our brain B. humans are becoming smarter and smarter C. the change in human intelligence is steady ‎ D. people in developed countries have higher intelligence ‎67. The writer gave the example of Bertie Wooster to tell us ________.‎ A. the possibility of humans' becoming less intelligent B. the risk of machines ' destroying the world C. the end of challenges people face in life D. the powerful functions of technologies ‎68. Why is artificial intelligence popular in our life?‎ A. It can improve and update itself. B. It can take advantage of humans.‎ C. It can do much better than humans. D. It can deal with abstract information.‎ ‎69. We can infer from the passage that electronic systems ________.‎ A. will make trouble in our daily life B. will function as the master of humans C. will become more user-friendly in the future D. will be deserted because of their inconvenience ‎70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The future is bright due to artificial intelligence. B. Will machines replace manual workers?‎ C. Humans will develop electronic assistants. D. Can artificial intelligence make us stupid?‎ 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a variety of other problems can appear.‎ Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments should not be busywork, but should help them build a skill or learn something new.‎ You can offer help by stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.‎ Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.‎ Parents who feel that their kids have too much homework can talk about it with the teachers, but they’re in the minority. A 2007 survey showed that 15 percent of parents said their kids had too much homework. About 60 percent said the homework load was just right, and 25 percent thought their children had too little homework.‎ If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to determine whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly. One of the things homework is supposed to do is to teach time management.‎ If your child feels bored while doing homework, consider the following suggestions to make study sessions more enjoyable.‎ Get help from friends: if your children are struggling with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them. You might also invite neighborhood kids ‎ over and let them do homework together. Have them sit around the dining table and help each other.‎ Add physical activities: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for stretching, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.‎ Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a quiz on the things they have just learned.‎ Title: Help with your child’s homework The right goal of doing homework It is supposed to help your child ___71___a skill or learn new things Advantages of offering help ‎◆You can see how things are going with your child’s studies.‎ ‎◆You can see what your child’s learning style is like.‎ ‎◆You can show you are __72___ in your child’s education.‎ ‎___73___ that you may face The child’s thinking that the assignments are ___74___‎ Tell them how you use the knowledge in real life.‎ Your thinking that your child has too much homework ‎___75___ the problem with the teachers.‎ Your thinking that the assignments___76___your child too much time Find out whether there are problems with your child’s time __77__.‎ The child’s thinking doing homework is ___78___‎ ‎◆ ___79___to a friend for help.‎ ‎◆Set small goals for the assignments and allow the child to do physical __80___during breaks.‎ ‎◆Let the child teach you ‎ something.‎ 第五部分 填入所给词的正确形式 (共8小题；每空0.5分，满分5分)‎ ‎81.

Life is no fun without c________ to share it.‎ 第六部分 书面表达（满分20分）请阅读下面短文，并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题，用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.‎ Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease— SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.‎ Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.‎ Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.‎ ‎【写作内容】 用约30个单词写出上文的概要；‎ 用约120个词就“Our Life Rests on Our Choice” 谈谈你的看法和感受，内容包括：‎ ‎（1）简要叙述你对“Our Life Rests on Our Choice”的理解；‎ ‎（2）请举例说明你会选择怎样的人生态度；（3）简要叙述你这样选择的理由。（至少2点）‎ ‎【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。‎ ‎【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_‎ ‎2018-2019学年度第一学期高二年级 阶段性检测英语试题答题纸 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ ‎71.________ 72．________ 73．________ 74．________ 75．________ ‎ ‎76.________ 77．________ 78．________ 79．________ 80。________‎ 第五部分 填入所给词的正确形式 (共8小题；每空0.5分，满分5分)‎ ‎81.__________ / __________ 82.__________ / ___________ 83.___________‎ ‎84. __________ 85. __________ 86. __________ 87. ___________ 88.___________‎ 第六部分 书面表达（满分20分）‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2018-2019学年度第一学期高二年级 阶段性检测英语试题答题纸 第一部分：听力(共两节，每题1分，满分20分) ‎ ‎1-5 BABCA 6-10 CABCA 11-15 CAACB 16-20 ABBCC 第二部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分35分) 第一节单项填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ ‎21-25 CABCC 26-30 BBBDB 31-35 BCCAC 第二节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)‎ ‎36-40 BCADA 41-45 CCABD 46-50 ACBCD 51-55ADBCD 三部分 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)‎ ‎56.

Life, to some extent, rests on our choice. ‎ Life is full of ups and downs. When the time comes for us to make choices, we should be aware of the importance of a positive attitude. A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship, which offers us the right direction.‎ As a teenager, it is of great significance to take a positive attitude towards life. To stay energetic, I will stick to an exercise schedule. I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others, becoming socially connected. All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man. Only by doing so can I fit in society more easily and stay motivated towards a better life.
