‎2018——2019年第二学期期末考试 高二英语 命题人：‎ 第一卷 (共70 分)‎ 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)‎ 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。 ‎ A Mrs. Brown had just finished cooking when she heard a knock at the door. She was surprised because the postman and the milkman had already been there, and she wasn’t expecting any visitors. She went into the front room and pulling the curtain back a little, looked out of the window to see who it was. A man was standing on the steps leading to the front door.‎ He was a tall, broad-shouldered man wearing an old army coat and big black hat pulled forward over his eyes, so it was difficult to see his face clearly. His shoes, Mrs. Brown noticed, were old and dirty and there was a large hole in his trousers. He carried a small black bag in his hand.‎ As she looked at him, Mrs. Brown remembered stories she had read in the newspapers about old ladies who opened to strangers, and were hit on the head and had their things stolen. She felt rather frightened. “I am not going to open the door”, she said to herself, “If I don’t, perhaps he’ll think there’s no one in and go away.” She let the curtain fall back into place and waiting.‎ The man looked round quickly, put his hand in his pocket, drew out his keys, and began to try them one by one in the front door.‎ ‎1. Mrs. Brown looked out of the window because______. ‎ A. she was expecting a visitor B. she had never any visitors C. she wanted to see who was there D. she thought it might be the milkman ‎2. The man on the door steps_____. ‎ A. was wearing an army cap B. was dressed as a soldier ‎ C. had holes in his trousers D. had a grey hat over his eyes ‎3. Mrs. Brown was frightened because she remembered something ____. ‎ A. she had read B. she had been told ‎ C. she had seen happen D. she knew would happen ‎4. The man began to try the keys in the door_____. ‎ A. while Mrs. Brown was watching him B. before Mrs. Brown saw him. ‎ C. after Mrs. Brown had left the curtain fall D. when Mrs. Brown first saw him ‎ B ‎ Starting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same time nerve-wracking. You may worry about all these things: what classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you? But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever. On my first day of high school, I asked a senior where my class was, and he told me it was on the fourth floor, next to the pool. I found out five minutes later that we didn't even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besides that event, I didn't have any trouble with the older kids.‎ I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school. I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550, so being exposed (暴露) to so many new people was a big change. Getting involved in clubs, sports, music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade — it's always useful to have an upperclassman friend!‎ The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've crammed (突击式学习) on the night before and got an A, but now ‎ I don't remember anything. I've changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between “AP Chemistry” and “Racquet Sports”， the first will prove to be more useful!‎ ‎5．On the first day of high school, the author ________.‎ A．failed to adapt himself to a new environment B．found it was hard for him to get on with new classmates ‎ C．was teased by a senior student D．lost his way in the schoolyard ‎6．Which of the following is TRUE about the author's advice on high school life?‎ A．Making as many upperclassmen friends as possible.‎ B．Taking an active part in various afterschool activities.‎ C．Trying to obtain useful knowledge instead of getting good grades.‎ D．Choosing easy but useful courses instead of practical ones.‎ ‎7．In writing the text, the author intends to ________.‎ A．tell others his first day experience at high school B．express his opinions on high school education C．describe what can be learnt at high school D．share his life and thoughts at high school C By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.‎ Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .‎ No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感).‎ Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline (纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时)，and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.‎ ‎8. The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is ________ .‎ A. changing from one subject to another B. the failure to keep to a set timetable of work C. the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan D. working on a subject only when one feels like it ‎9. Which of the following is true? ________‎ A. Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.‎ B. Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.‎ C. Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.‎ D. Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.‎ ‎10. The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means.‎ A. when they have the energy B. when they are in the mood C. when they feel fit D. when they find conditions suitable ‎11. A suitable title for the passage might be ________‎ A. Attitudes to Study B. A Study Plan C. The difficulties of Studying D. Study and Self-discipline D 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 Sevigne 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 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 recognized 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(白血病) because of her work with radioactivity . Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956. ‎ ‎12. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal? ‎ A. Because she received a degree in mathematics. ‎ B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded. ‎ C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic. ‎ D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother. ‎ ‎13.

What’s more, the air in the morning is really fresh and clean, so I can keep my mind active in the class. By doing physical exercises every day I can keep my mind alert that I can finish my tasks in time. If I do not do any physical exercise, I will feel tired. During the night, I may find it becomes harder to fall asleep. Second, doing exercises everyday will help me to develop a better personality. It takes time and patience to do exercises. Doing physical exercises makes me stronger and healthier. That’s my personal experience.‎ As a student, sports are important. You can pick up your favorite sport and do it every day. Only in this way, you can have both pleasure and a healthy body. ‎
