卓识教育深圳实验部2017－2018学年度第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷满分：150分时量：120分钟第二部分阅读理解（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，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWhat time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devot e to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.1. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you2. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests3. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBA Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce (确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren’t u sed to the early hour.“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns.Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matt er of choice –their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.All of this makes the transfer(转移) from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning---- all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescent s are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first b ell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying “I need a timeout.”4. Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because ________.A. it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtimeB. it is biologically difficult for students to rise earlyC. student s work so late at night that they can’t get up earlyD. students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early5. The underlined phrase “nod off” most probably means “ _______”.A. turn aroundB. agree with othersC. fall asleepD. refuse to work6. What might be a reason for the hard transfer from middle school to high school?A. Adolescents depend more on their parents.B. Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.C. Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.D. Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.7. What is the test mainly about?A. Adolescent heath care.B. Problems in adolescent learning.C. Adolescent sleep difficulties.D. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.CThere was a time when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, and I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold(大胆的) and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent footba ll player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed of.8. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.9. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.10. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.DWhen next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who will become Oxford’s vice-chancellor ––a position equal to university president in America.Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing th e Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board（董事会）finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators, and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position”.Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.12. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the text?A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B. More international students are being admitted to American universities.C. University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.D. A lot of activists are being hired as administrators.13. What do we learn about European universities from the text?A. The tuition they charge has been rising considerably.B. They are strengthening their position by globalization.C. Their operation is under strict government control.D. Most of their money comes from the government.14. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?A. They can improve the university’s image.B. They will bring with them more international personnel.C. They will view a lot of things from a new angle.D. They can set up new academic subjects.15. Which of the following would make the best title of the text?A. High Education Globalization.B. Global Headhunting in Higher Education.C. Global Higher Education Cooperation .D. Universal Higher Education Development.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHe is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is Japan’s Walt Disney.Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced hisretirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.Good and evil (邪恶)Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he createstend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good andevil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.ChildrenThe heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.Sky and waterTwo of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flyingof some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes theunexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.PeaceMiyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyaza ki’s films?A. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.C. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.2. According to the artic le, children in Miyazaki’s films are ______.A. all little teen-aged girlsB. always able to see spiritsC. curious trouble makersD. kind to people and creatures3. Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.A. the relation between sky and waterB. his hate for gravity since his childhoodC. his desire to be free from gravityD. his love for water that can flood the world4. In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.A. the appealing castle in the skyB. children with the problems of growing upC. objects magically floating on the waterD. a world left in ruins in the end【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D【解析】本文前两段主要介绍Miyazaki和退休的消息；后面几段主要介绍了他电影中常用到的一些主题。

She didn’t want to turn around as the memory of that morning’s newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see: “City Killer Claims Fourth Victim.”“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work?” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or a lighted window. Passing a small lane, she looked through for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead-end and she laughed to herself at the irony.The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self–pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car’s headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed her with terror.It was the footsteps’ owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead-pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow–motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would – but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn’t respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance.She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn’t know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn’t understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead–pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK? You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I’d better give it to you.”4.

More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house. But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?The most recent National Journal poll asked participants about the American dream: what it takes to achieve their goal, and whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people felt that their actions and hard work — not outside force — were deciding their lives. But the participants had definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority —52 percent —think that young people do not need a 4-year college education in order to be successful.Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master’s degree and works in public health, wa s the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook, are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.8. It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have ____.A. a sense of drive and purposeB. a firm belief in their dreamC. an advanced academic degreeD. an ambition to get ahead9. What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream?A. Americans’ idea of it has changed over the past few decades.B. It remains alive among the majority of American people.C. An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it.D. More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize.10. What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success?A. It still remains open to debate.B. It has proved to be beyond doubt.C. It is much better understood now than ever.D. It is no longer as important as it used to be.11. How do some people view college education these days?A. It needs to be strengthened.B. It helps broaden their minds.C. It widens cultural diversity.D. It promotes gender equality.DProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more peoplelive longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or governme nt insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.12. The author believes that the population explosion results from _______.A. an increase in birthratesB. a decrease in death ratesC. the industrial developmentD. human beings’ cultural advances13. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB. old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsC. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life14. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is True?A. When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.B. A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C. With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.D. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?A. Critical.B. Approving.C. Optimistic.D. Sympathetic.第二节短文选句（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分；满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项；选项中有两项为多余选项。
