第二部分阅读理解（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
It’s happened to everyone. You run up to someone, thinking it’s your friend, only to realize that the person is a stranger.
But there’s something about the curve of their nose or the shape of their eyes that looks strangely familiar. It’s as if your friend had a twin.
The Germans invented a word for this phenomenon, “doppelganger”. Literally, it means “double walker”, and it’s come to mean anyone who looks very similar to another person. Doppelgangers pop up in literature and movies, and even in celebrity culture. There are countless Web pages about how celebrities such as US actress Zooey Deschanel and singer Katy
Perry look alike.
But can you really find a person who looks the same as you? That’s an ongoing debate in the scientific community.
After all, humans have a limited number of genes that control how our faces and bodies look. “There is only so much genetic diversity to go around,” the US’ Cornell University professor Michael Sheehan told Live Science. He compared genes to cards in a deck. If the deck gets shuffled enough times, some cards will appear again and again.
But forensic scientist Daniele Podini from George Washington University, US is not convinced true doppelgangers exist. Nothing is impossible, Podini admits, but he told the website ScienceLine that most doppelgangers are the result of perception, the way each individual sees the world. We all see faces differently. You might see two people as doppelgangers, but for someone else, small differences between the two faces might be much more obvious. Each of us has a different ability to remember faces and their details. There’s even a small group of people who cannot tell between faces at all. They suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness”. They cannot even recognize the faces of their own parents or friends.
For the people who are very sensitive to differences between faces, the differences can seem never-ending. A single study found 4,000 pieces of DNA that shape our faces, and more have yet to be discovered.
Your lifestyle choices can also change your looks. Those choices can be as simple as a haircut, or as serious as bad eating habits. Even identical twins can start to look different, depending on how they live their lives. In other words, your doppelganger may be somewhere in the world, but it’s far more likely that your genes and your decisions have made you one of a kind.
21. Which of the following statements would Michael Sheehan agree with?
A. People’s perception is similar to each other.
B. Genetic diversity is limited, resulting in similar faces.
C. Genes are like cards in the way that you never know what you will get.
D. It is not possible that there is another person who looks similar to us.
22. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. Identical twins are likely to lead different life styles.
B. The lifestyle we choose has little to do with our looks.
C. Identical twins may not look alike due to different genes.
D. Our appearance is in some way related to the way we live.
23. The passage is likely to appear in _______ .
A. a finance report
B. a newspaper advertisement
C. a biological experiment
D. a science magazine
B
Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.
Job sharing differs from conventional (常规的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.
Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.
As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.
The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals
must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.
24. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?
A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.
B. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.
C. Work sharing requires more working hours.
D. Work sharing depends on the employer's decision.
25. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work
mainly because _____.
A. they had to take care of both work and family
B. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs
C. they were over ideal working ages
D. they sought higher social status
26. In job sharing the partners should _____.
A. enjoy equal social status
B. know each other very well
C. keep in touch with each other
D. have similar work experience
27. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. recommend job sharing to women
B. discuss how to provide more jobs
C. describe job sharing in general
D. compare job sharing with work sharing
C
You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
"I can't believe it-----a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to
Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation ---- consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. "Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing." However, one might ask what exactly is "real" of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.
28. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _____.
A. get the sweater at a lower price
B. decide on buying the sweater
C. be admired by other shoppers
D. be heard by people around
29. Lorenzo Bertolla is _____.
A. a very popular male singer
B. an advertising agency
C. the brand name of a sweater
D. a clothing company in Rome
30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Traditional advertising will soon disappear in the market.
B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
C. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
D. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Two Attractive Shoppers
B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C. Undercover Marketing
D. Ways of Advertising

We've all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal (腹部的) muscles. It's easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans
spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.
And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products ---- no matter who approved them or how expensive they are ---- shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury ---- like the $518.99 Body Shaper---- Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.
The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat. That's enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.
So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets." Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements ---- so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor ---- and exercises performed on the "Captain's Chair", a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.
32. Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?
A．Torso Track. B．Captain's Chair. C．Ab-Doer. D．Body Shaper-Q8SP. 33. According to the author, it's difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal
muscles mainly because __________.
A．how big their muscles will be is determined by birth
B．they change their exercise routine regularly
C．injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
D．they do not put in enough efforts
34. The author convinces the readers by ________.
A．describing successful cases
B．presenting findings of researches
C．offering comments directly from exercisers
D．comparing advertisements of products
35. What's the main purpose of this passage?
A．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.
B．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
C．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
D．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。答案如果是E，请涂AB，如果是F, 请涂BC，如果是G, 请涂CD。
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment. The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 36
There is a proverb which say s, “Times flies never to be recalled.” This is true. 37 The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产)as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. 38 He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
39 If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps
all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper places at the appointed time. 40
A. They appear to be busy but never get well paid.
B. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.
C. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time
D. Maybe nobody minds being kept waiting at a dinner party.
E. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by others.
F. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name.
G. Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others.

The Black Country is about 10 miles from Birmingham. It's made up of four districts: Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell, and Wolverhampton.
Historically, it was famous for industry, which explains 71 the area is called the Black Country. It got its name during the industrial revolution, 72 factory pollution turned the local skies black and coal dust from the mines made the soil the same colour. Dudley, which is 73 (probable) the heart of the Black Country, has a history 74 (date) back over 1 000 years, and its famous castle has been there 75 about the 8th century.
People from the Black Country are very friendly, 76 their local dialect, which comes from the old "Middle English", can be very difficult to understand. I still remember taking 77 visiting friend from Canada to a local Black Country pub for lunch. 78 the waitress could even finish describing the menu, my friend looked at me with his eyebrows (眉毛) 79 (raise). When I asked what he wanted to order, he just shook his head in disbelief and asked if the waitress whom I 80 (speak) to just now was actually speaking English!

高二英语期中考试试卷分析 一、试卷总体情况分析 本次期中考试试卷主要考查英语模块3所学内容，试卷总分150分。试题内容丰富，知识覆盖面广，题型较多，包括听力、完形填空、阅读理解、语法填空、短文改错和作文，和高考题型保持一致。考点知识既源于教材，又聚焦高考，全面考查了学生读、写等方面的能力。试卷以新课程理念为指导，既关注高考，又强调知识与能力并重。总体而言，试卷难度稍微偏大了点，下面以我校英语考试为抽样分析样本，对本次试卷做一个简要的分析。 二、学生各项题型得分情况及主要失分点分析 （一）试卷各大题得分情况统计（如下表）： 从表中的数据看，阅读得分相对好一点，但也不是很理想，所以我们平时要重视基础知识；而完形填空、阅读理解这两项综合运用题的得分不高，高一学生语篇语境理解的能力较弱，综合运用能力差在
意料之中，虽然客观上这两项的难度的确大了些，但我们在教学中仍不可忽视这一点，即要在立足课本的同时，应重视学生的课外阅读。短文改错和作文得分一般，这提醒老师在教学中仍要加强课外阅读指导和训练，加强作文和短文改错的训练。 （二）各大题主要失分点及其原因分析： 第一部分：听力 听力既与学生所学教材紧密联系，又聚焦高考，与高考题型保持一致。听力语速较慢难度不大，但得分率不算高。本项失分较多的题目分别为：第3、5、6题，其中3、6题得分率最低。 第二部分：阅读 本次阅读理解包括四篇短文，一篇七选五，体裁涉及议论文和记叙文，所选文章具有一定的思想性和可读性，事实细节题、推理判断题和主旨大意题等各种题型均有涉及，注重考查学生的阅读理解能力。其中16、23、26题得分率比较低。 第三部分：完型填空 完形填空主要考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对语篇、语法和词汇知识的掌握情况，要求学生能够综合运用所学的词汇、语法等知识选出最佳选项，是综合性能力比较强的题型，也是学生难得高分的题型。本篇完形填空选用的夹叙夹议文体，选材精当，内容感人，问题设置非常巧妙。主要考查了三种能力：阅读理解能力；利用上下文线索进行分析和推理的能力；学生语言基础知识的运用能力。总的来说，材料偏难，达不到锻炼的效果。难题占了一半以上，其中41、42、47、50最难。 第四部分：语法填空与短文改错 这两道题考场学生的综合能力，难度较大，也是高考的难点与易错点。得分率非常的低。学生对一些语法点和语言点掌握的不牢固，需要不断加强训练，总结答题技巧。 第五部分：写作和书面表达 本次作文不是很好写，尤其对于刚上高中的学生来说更是很难，甚至出现了很多0分现象。在评卷的过程中我们还发现下面所存在的

浙江绍兴一中2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷（解析版） 一、阅读理解 1、阅读理解 According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality. Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep. “The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps. Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead. Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy. Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night's sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.” 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。 (1)Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection? A、The fetal position. B、The log position. C、The yearner position. D、The freefaller position. (2)Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A、A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day B、Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at night C、How you sleep at night affects what you do the next day D、Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably 2、阅读理解 Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night.
