高二下学期英语人教版教材期末考试试题及答案3Ⅳ、阅读理解(共16小题;每小题2分，满分32分)AMaking an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000 a second. And that does not include the cost of paying for airtime. Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money and making money is what television is all about the commercial is by far the more important.Research, market testing, talent, time and money all come together to make us want to buy a product. No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in turn, buy the product.And the ads work because so much time and attention are given them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyle are types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.We laug h at commercials. We don’t think we pay that much attention to them. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves. The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It’s big, big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we ne ed, and what to buy. To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.56、TV commercials are more important than other programs to television because .A.They bring in great profits.B.They require a lot of money to make.C.They are not difficult to produce.D.They attract more viewers than other programs.57、The purpose of all the efforts made in turning out TV commercials is .A.To persuade people to buy the product.B.To show how valuable the product is.C.To test the market value of the product.D.To make them as interesting as TV movies.58、From the rules set for making commercial ads, we can see that .A.The lower-middle-class buyer likes to work with his hand.B.The more stupid the characters, the more buyers of the product.C.Ad designers attract different people with different skills.D.An upper-class buyer is more interested in houses and furniture than a lower-middle-class buyer.59、The undrelined word “kidding”(para. 4) most probably means .A.behaving as a child.ughing at.C.making fun of.D.not telling the truth to.60、It is believed by the writer that .A.Few people like to watch TV commercials. commercials are a good guide to buyers. commercials often make people laugh.D.People do not think highly of TV commercials.BA graded reader is a book containing simplified languages used to help learners master the language. Readers come in different levels, from beginners to advanced. English learners need to choose a reader that is suitable for their level.Why use readers? Lots of research shows that extensive reading improves all aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, speaking skills, fluency(流利),writing skills and reading comprehension.Reading is a way of learning English without classes or a teacher. It helps develop learner independence. And while reading graded readers, learners don’t have to run to a dictionary because the language is at their level.How do I get started? The entire class can read the same book or different books at different times.How do I know the right level? If your class is all reading the same book, choose one that is appropriate for their level. If your students are reading different books, you can have a selection of books at different levels. In this case, don’t worry too much about the level. A learner who is interested in detective stories might read a higher level book if the motivation(动机)is there.How to read the book depends on students’ age, motivation and clas s time available. Some classes like to read silently, others like to read aloud in small groups and some enjoy being read to by the teacher. Be sensitive to the class and ask for their opinions.Some pre-reading activities are needed. Before students open a book, it is important to spark interest in the story and in the whole process of reading. For example, ask them to guess what the story is from cover, chapter titles and let students put them in the best order, or discuss the author.During reading, choose a suitable chapter or chapters that can be broken down to make a comic strip (连环漫画). Or students select a part of the book to make into a radio play. Students can also become journalists and report on parts of the story. Choose a piece of action and have students write it up. Besides, students can role-play an interview with a character.61、Who do you think the passage is written mainly for?A.Students.B.Parents.C.Teachers.D.Pupils.62、When do you think students can become journalists and report on parts of the story?A.Before reading.B.During reading.C.During warming up.D.After reading.63、From the passage, we can learn that .A.readers can make classroom funB.reading can help develop learners dependenceC.some pre-reading activities are not neededD.extensive reading improves all aspects of language learning。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AWhen I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ev er known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some in teresting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years ago. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.1. What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A. To build a forest.B. To save more lives.C. To make a lot of money.D. To study plants.2. One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he kicked the trees heavilyC. he never watered the treesD. he buried the leaves around the roots3. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Trees are not as weak as we think.B. We should listen to others’ advice.C. Planting trees is good for the environment.D. Difficulty is necessary for growth.BThe Healthy Habits Survey（调查）shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?·Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.·Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.·Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.·Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.4．What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of then have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of then bathe three days a week.C. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a dayD. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.5. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands______.A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. eight times a dayD. four times a day6. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.C. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.7. The text probably comes from______.A. a popular magazineB. a guide bookC. a book reviewD. an official documentCThere is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers(梦游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.An American expert on sleep claims(声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep.

The workplace was a favorite location for fibbing with 67 percent of the 1,487 respondents admitting they had lied at work. The top lie was pretending to be ill (43 percent), followed by saying work had been completed when it hadn’t (23 percent). Worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake. But, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. Just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners. Key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or the cost of them (37 percent), how good someone looked in something (35 percent), how much they had eaten (35 percent) and drunk (31 percent) and how much they weighed (32 percent).12．The underlined phrase “being economical with the truth”probably means______.A. telling liesB. making apologiesC. feeling guiltyD. admitting mistakes13.

A report is simply an account of something that hashappened. The commonest are news reports. We get them in newspapers, over radio and on television. Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels(新闻短片).The main purpose of a newspaper is to provide news. If you examine a newspaper closely, you will find that there are all types of news: accidents, floods, fires, wars fashions (服装), sports, books, etc. The news covers everything that happens to people and their surroundings. Sometimes there are news items which are very amusing.A news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains a lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is in fact a summary of the news item. It gives all the necessary information: what, when, where, how and why. The other paragraphs give full details (细节) of the subject. There may also be interviews (采访) with people. The words actually spoken by them are within inverted commas(引号).Often there are photographs to go with the news to make it more interesting.36.

This passage mainly talks about ___.A. different types of reportsB. happenings to people and their surroundingsC. news reportsD. the length of a news reportBWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called ―Brownie‖. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them we always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did waswrong. When I looked at her and said, ‖Bad girl,‖ she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyo ne pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull pm her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she lovely everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.41. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Keep them company.B. Look at them sadly.C. Play games with them.D. Touch them gently.42.

Which of the following best describes Brownie?A. ShyB. CaringC. BraveD. PoliteCIn most languages, a greeting is usually followed by ―small talk‖. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: ―Nice day, isn’t it?‖ ―Terrible weather, isn’t it?‖ But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of smalltalk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: ―Great game, isn’t it?‖ At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: ―The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?‖Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.46. Small talk is __________.A. to let people disagree about somethingB. a kind of conversation with short wordsC. something we talk about to start with a conversationD. a greeting when people meet each other47. The favorite topic of small talk is about __________.A. gamesB. politicsC. languagesD. the weather48. The passage suggests that when we learn a language __________.A. we should only master the grammar and vocabularyB. we should know the culture about the countryC. we should grasp the importance of the languageD. we should learn about the transport system of the country49. When we say ―Great game, isn’t it?‖ we in fact __________.A. begin a small talkB. have a conversationC. greet each otherD. ask a question50. What we learn from the passage is that __________.A. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weatherB. different language has different grammarC. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationD. small talk is an important part in a language.DAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to b e a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work. Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. ―When I have to give up observation, I shall die,‖ he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.51、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Charles Darwin’s ideasB.Charles Darwin’s worksC.The greatest scientist: Charles DarwinD.Father of modern biology: Charles Darwin52、Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.A.make him like natural historyB.make him become a doctorC.let him change his hobbiesD.have him give up his collection53 According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.A.the voyage of the BeagleB.his collection of coinsC.the naturalists at CambridgeD.his study at Cambridge University54 The underlined part ―they were descended from monkeys‖ probably means ―_____‖.A.they gave monkeys lifeB.they were different from monkeysC.they were developed from monkeysD.they had to live with monkeys55 We can learn from the passage that _____.A.Darwin announced his ideas on the origin of life as soon as he finished his voyageB.Wallace agreed with Darwin’s opinions and wr ote The Descent of Man with himC.churchmen were strongly against Darwin’s ideas at that timeD.Darwin wrote two great books and a paper during his lifetime高二英语答题卡姓名：班级: 得分：单选：1~5：6~10：11~15:完形：16~20: 21~25:26~30：31~35:阅读：36~40：41~45：46~50：51~55：任务型读写:There are a number of languages spoken throughout the world. Every person knows at least one language, which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing. However, many people are fond of learning two or more languages, so they try to be bilingual, which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages. And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects. For example:A person can get cognitive(认知的) benefits from it. The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object. Therefore, a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking. The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation. So they are more sensitive(敏感的) to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language: Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person's mental development.Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character. The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages. It increases a sense of self-esteem( 自尊). Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.A bilingual education offers better curriculum results. The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests. The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three, four or more languages.Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits. It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields. The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport, tourism, public relations, marketing and sales, banking, translation, law, teaching and so on.So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.56 57 58 5960 61 62 6364 65作文：假如你叫李华，是新华中学学生。
