乌丹二中2018-2019学年下学期期中考试 ‎ 高二年级英语学科试题 ‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节， 满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 根据短文内容，选出每篇文章后的问题的最佳答案。‎ A Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. ‎ If so, use these tips to help you. ‎ Study Techniques ‎ l You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it. ‎ l Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees. ‎ l Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat. ‎ Test-taking Skills ‎ l All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months. ‎ Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also ‎ improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too. ‎ l When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ‎ A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored. ‎ B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time. ‎ C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time. ‎ D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method. ‎ ‎2. What does the underlined word “it” refer to? ‎ A. Your study desk or table. B. Your textbook. ‎ C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need. ‎ ‎3. What can be inferred from the passage? ‎ A. You had better look at everyone else during the test. ‎ B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet. ‎ C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you. ‎ D. If you feel tired during study, you can telephone a phone.‎ B Love, success, happiness, family and freedom——how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.‎ Question: Could you introduce yourself first?‎ Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now ‎ I’m a web designer.‎ Q: What are your great memories?‎ A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those ‎ are my great memories.‎ Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?‎ A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it ‎ taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.‎ Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?‎ A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could ‎ have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in ‎ freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a ‎ beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we ‎ are safe.‎ Q: How do you get along with your parents?‎ A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. ‎ That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my ‎ parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters（过滤）out your ‎ emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed ‎ through sight, hearing and touch.‎ ‎4.

It happened in the northern end of Queensland, Australia, where all kinds of animals live in the forest.‎ Lisa, a 33-year-old woman, went to prepare lunch in the kitchen, leaving Barney, her three-year-old son, playing by himself in the back garden.‎ Suddenly, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard in a hurry and found a big snake entwining（缠绕）the little child with its terrible body and trying to eat the boy as its delicious dish! It was a boa（蟒）！Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made upher mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.‎ It was fearless（not afraid）mother love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hoe（锄）from the ground and beat the boa with all her strengtht.‎ One…two…With the hoe, Lisa beat the snake repeatedly, but useless. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa’s heart was broken and she got nearly mad! She bit the snake with her teeth.‎ Blood was spurting（喷射）out of the boa’s body and covered most of Lisa’s body. The boa was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest hurriedly. It had never known how a man had such terrible sharp teeth! On halfway home, the boa died.‎ It was fearless mother love that saved the little boy.‎ ‎8. When she came into the back garden, Lisa found___________.‎ A. her son was playing with a snake B. a boa eating her son C. her son in danger of losing his life D. Barney was fighting with a boa ‎9.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. Such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基础), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.‎ The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. As you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed.‎ Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静态的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.‎ ‎12. The long-term goals mean______.‎ A. something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goals B. something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in time C. nothing but our dreams of future D. a lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (热望) or a wish in our life ‎13.

For example, some people believe that if they have lots of money, they will be happy, for they can do anything they like, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe health is happiness. They think it can bring them enjoyment.‎ For me, happiness is my studies, my work and my family. When I made progress in my studies, when I made contributions to the society, when all the members in my family live together, sharing good and sad times, I am happy. Although people have different opinion on happiness, my “wealth” of happiness is in my studies, my work, and my family. ‎
