云南省普洱市景东彝族自治县第一中学2019-2020学年高二下学期期末考试英语试卷学校_________ 班级__________ 姓名__________ 学号__________一、阅读选择1. Whale Camp at Marine Science InstituteCamp Type: Overnight, Family, InternationalAge of Campers: 10-18Year Established: 1984No other marine (海洋的) science program enables you to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, and seals in their own natural habitat. Board our 60-foot sailboat for unmatched observations of marine life. Help collect data to document whales’ distributio n patterns and behaviors. Gain hands-on experience using our marine science equipment. Explore the powerful and endangered processes oflife in the sea.Some summer programs teach you about marine science and oceanography (海洋学) with lots of time in a classroom, lab or museum. We take you directly to the source for the best observation and experience. This is why the Whale Camp is the place where inspiration, exploration and discovery abound (很多). This is why there’s onlyone Whale Camp.We are located on beautiful Grand Manan Island which was recently named the third best small island in the world to visit by the travel experts. The location is ideally situated in the Bay of Fundy where the highest tides in the world create one of the world’s richest and most diverse marine ecosystems.In our years of experience, we’ve observed numerous whales onover 98% of our research trips. Whale Camp offers more research trips per session than any other summer camp program. The diversity of bird life at sea and on land is extraordinary. Only the Whale Camp takes you to the highly restricted Machias Seal Island to be surrounded bymany rare creatures. Each day at Whale Camp is a life-changingexperience. With our seas and planet in danger, we believe it’s more important than ever for us to learn how to protect the systems of life that sustain (维持) us.【小题1】According to the passage, the program _______.A ．is part of the in-class educationB ．is about great scientific researchesC ．mainly focuses on endangered marine speciesD ．offers chances to get close to sea creatures【小题2】Some summer programs are mentioned to show that _______.A ．Whale Camp is very uniqueB ．Whale Camp is the best summer campC ．people can observe whales at Whale CampD ．schools take education of marine life seriously【小题3】The marine ecosystems are diverse because _______.A ．the location is close to the bayB ．there are high tides in the areaC ．experts make efforts to protect themD ．the island is rarely visited by people【小题4】Who might be mostly interested in this article?A ．TeachersB ．TravelersC ．ScientistsD ．Teenagers2. When Rudyard Kipling created the character of Mowgli, an orphaned boy who was adopted and raised by wolves in the forests of India, he would have never guessed that one day there would be a child that would actually live a similar life.Born in Windhoek, Namibia in 1990, to Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, both wildlife photographers, Tippi was exposed to the wild residents of the African jungles since the day she was born. Her parents traveled a lot through the country in search of exotic (异国的) animals and the three often ended up sleeping in a tent in the middle of the jungles.However, unlike Mowgli, Tippi’s parents were always around to protect her and the only wild animals that she interacted with were the orphaned wildlife that had been raised by humans in national parks. Having said that, these animals were still wild and little Tippi did have a few close encounters like when an ape tried to steal her milk bottle or when a Meerakat thought her nose looked good enough to eat and took a couple of nips (捏; 掐). The most serious one that her mom can recall is when Cindy, a baboon, became a little jealous of Tippi’s thick hair and decided to pull out a handful. Butoverall, the young girl, who many locals believed had a special connection with animals, led a rather magical life.While her magical life ended when she turned ten and her parents decided to move back to Paris, her memories were shown in a bookcalled Tippi, My Book of Africa , which not surprisingly has become a huge hit among animal fans. We wonder if the now 23-year-old girl who is studying cinema in Paris, will some day decide to follow herparents’ example and take her kids back to experience what she did.【小题1】What do the characters Mowgli and Tippi have in common?A ．They were both orphaned kids.B ．They both grew up in the wild.C ．They were both very aggressiveD ．They were both adopted by wolves【小题2】Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre often traveled in the wild in Africa because _______.A ．they enjoyed living with wild animalsB ．they wanted to help out endangered animalsC ．they were taking photographs of exotic animalsD ．they were looking for animals for national parks【小题3】We know that after Tippi went to live in Paris, she _______.A ．didn’t want others to know about her pastB ．often had nightmares because of her experienceC ．never wanted to go back to live in the wild againD ．wrote a book based on her experience in the wild【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?A ．Tippi, My Book of Africa.B ．Meet Tippi – the real life of Mowgli.C ．Mowgli – a boy who was raised by wolves.D ．The new life of Tippi who grew up with animals3. Learning a foreign language can be a difficult task for most people. The degree of difficulty, however, differs from oneperson to another. Like studying any other subject, we have to spend much effort and time. Besides, an individual’s learning ability can be determined by the following factors.My husband says I am a quick learner, but I easily forget newinformation, especially dates and figures. But my husband spends more time learning a new subject but seldom forgets what he has learned. Some people can learn new information fast, while others have to work a little bit harder at it. Others retain new knowledge longer, like my husband, while others easily forget what they just learned. How fast and well you learn new things are determined by your genes andyour environment. My mother is a fast learner, while my husband has slow learning parents. The way we learn also differs. I like to write down what I’ve just learned. I also find that drawing diagrams and relationships work better for me. Compared with my husband, I hate memorizing data. I remember things better when I can visually picture them in my mind.Foreign language resources are not so common here in our area.I’ve seen a few dictionaries in some bookstores but haven’t seenany CD or DVD about it. I don’t even think the stores here sell electronic dictionaries! I have to go to a big city just to buy one. However, you may easily get all of these materials. Make a list ofall the resources you have access to in your neighborhood. In this way, when you attend a language school, you’ll know just where tofind dictionaries to help you in your course.In my opinion, this is the most important factor in learning a foreign language: your drive to learn. Different people are driven by different motivations. I want to learn a new language because I findit challenging. Others may need to learn it because of having a newjob or working in foreign countries. The point is to determinewhether you truly need or just want to learn a foreign language.【小题1】What does the underlined word “retain” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Remember B．Acquire C．Spread D．Improve【小题2】Compared with the author, her husband ________.A．likes to draw diagrams B．hates memorizing dataC．learns new things slowly D．easily forgets new information 【小题3】What does the author think affects learning a foreign language most？A．The resources one can get in the neighborhood.B．The determination to overcome difficulties.C．The motivation to learn a foreign language.D．The ability to learn a foreign language.【小题4】The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to________.A．share her experience in learning a foreign languageB．analyze why people cannot learn a foreign language wellC．tell us how to find the method of learning a foreign language D．introduce some factors affecting our language learning ability4. When a person lies, one of two things will likely happen. One, his lie will be found out, his reputation will be ruined, and hewill be weakened by stress. Or two, his lie will not be found out and he’ll have the need to lie again in order to protect his first lie. Worried that his lies will be exposed, he will again be weakened by stress.Have you ever been in that position? At some time most of us have. It was embarrassing when I got caught. And it was painful when I worried about getting caught. As I looked back at each situation I realized that I had lied to make myself look better to another person. What I should have been doing was making myself look better to me. I knew that in order to do that I had to change.So I decided to stop lying and tell the truth. In time, I noticed that other people were friendlier. Family and close friends seemed more comfortable around me. And my wife began to trust me more. Those were all good things. But the best thing was how much more I liked myself. I was not filled with stress so I slept better. Since I decided to stop lying, my life has been easier.How about you? Would honesty help improve your life? Would it improve your relationships as it has mine? Now imagine making the tough decision to be honest from now on. Yes, you might slip. But consider what being honest will do for you. If it works for you as it has for me, in time you’ll be aware of how differently peoplerespond to you. They will be friendlier and more trusting. The best part, however, is how much better you feel about yourself. You understand that you are stronger, more courageous, and more confident.【小题1】What will happen if a person lies according to the text?A．The person will be looked down upon. B．The person faces the stress f being guilty.C．The person will be underpressure.D．The person will feel ashamed. 【小题2】Why did the author decide to stop lying?A．To make his life much easier. B．To be satisfied with himself C．To make more friends. D．To be popular with others. 【小题3】What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs?A．To stress the importance of stopping lying.B．To teach the readers how to avoid lying.C．To list the benefits of stopping lying.D．To show his opinions on stopping lying.二、七选五5. There are millions of reasons to feel grateful. Acknowledge them all, big and small every day and you just may put yourself on the path to better health. Here’s how.【小题1】 In a study by Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, people who wrote down one thing that they were grateful for every day reported being 25 percent happier for a full six months after following this practice for just three weeks.You get healthier. 【小题2】 They keep away from harmful behaviors, like smoking and drinking too much alcohol. They exercise, on average, 33 percent more and sleep extra 30 minutes a night.【小题3】 The research finds that those who feel more appreciated by their partners are more likely to appreciate their partners in return and to stay in the relationship nine months later. Gratitude can help their brains appreciate the things in their relationships that are going well. It can also calm down the nervous system and prevent them from being angry.You’ll be a nicer person. People can’t help but pay gratitude forward. When you express gratitude toward a colleague or a friend, he or she feels grateful in return, and the back-and-forth continues. 【小题4】 So they want to continue doing them, not only for you but also for others.You’ll be more optimistic. When we notice kindness and othergifts we’ve benefited from, our brains become wired t o seek out the positives in any situation, even terrible ones. 【小题5】“A grateful attitude toward life is relatively immune to both fortune and misfortune,” says Emmons.A．You’ll feel more delighted.B．You’ll be appreciated more.C．You’ll improve your rel ationship.D．As a result, we’re better at getting over loss and failure. E．The better your body functions, the more energetic you feel. F．Experts believe that grateful people tend to appreciate their health more than others do.G．What’s more, your expression makes them feel good about the kind acts that they’ve done.三、完形填空6.

You should order your tickets in advance if you come early.BI met a man yesterday. I didn’t get his name. I’ll probably never see him again. And that’s OK. He was an elderly man. I was trying to search for the owner of a very worn and wooden walking stick, which was left half hanging outside of a shopping cart. I called out to a man who was walking away. And he returned to get it. I was in a friendly mood so we started a conversation. And that’s when this man blessed me with his story. I stood outside t he supermarket with him for10 minutes, just listening. And that’s all he wanted.I stood there listening to this man share his pain over losing his first wife during childbirth to his only son. And then later his joys of raising this son on his own, and travelling the world, to finally ending in true love where he married a childhood sweetheart. This story is all our stories. We all suffer. We all cry. We all love. And we all want to know that it mattered. At the end of our conversation this elderly man looked me in the eye and thanked me. So sincerely. So heartfelt. He thanked me for listening. And then he turned around and walked away.I needed to sit down after this. This dear man had just gifted me with a gift so precious— him, his wife, and his story. As he walked away a feeling so strong washed over me. And I heard a voice. A voice that told me he was at peace now. Strangers are never strangers if you open your heart to them. Often they are angels waiting to bless you or to be blessed. Open your heart. Connect with others. Listen. Share. It’s what we are all here for!25. Why did the author search for the elderly man?A. To ask him for a chat.B. To return his lost walking stick.C. To get to know him as a friend.D. To give him a walking stick as a gift.26. What did the author know about the elderly man?A. His name.B. His exact age.C. How he lost his first wife.D. Why he left his walking stick.27. At last, the elderly man was grateful to the author for _______.A. returning the walking stickB. the help with the shopping cartC. the talk about their similar experiencesD. listening to his share of his own past lifeCChinese miners have managed to extract (提取) combustible (可燃的) ice from the seafloor of the South China Sea, according to the Ministry of Land and Resources. The major breakthrough may lead to a global energy revolution.Combustible ice is a kind of natural gas hydrate (天然气水合物). It can exist only in conditions of very low temperatures and high pressure. One cubic meter of combustible ice is equal to 164 cubic meters of regular natural gas.It looks like ice crystals but if you zoom into a molecular level, you will see that the methane (甲烷) molecules are caged in by the water molecules(分子), according to Associate Professor Praveen Linga from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore, as quoted by BBC. In spite of the low temperature, the hydrates are easily flammable as the gas trapped in the ice will catch fire if you hold a lighter to it.The discovery is China’s first success in the mining of combustible ice after almost twenty years of research and exploration, according to the ministry. The mining site is reportedly located in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea, 320 kilometers away from Zhuhai. The miners managed to extract an average of 16,000 cubic meters of gas with high purity per day from the site.The natural gas hydrate is believed to be the best replacement for natural gas and oil. Moreover, it is more environmentally friendly and has large reserves, according to the head of the China Geological Survey Bureau, Zhong Ziran.Many countries along the Maritime Silk Road have a demand for combustible ice. With the advanced technology China can help solve the energy resource problem and boost (促进) economic growth and promote exchanges with these countries.28. Combustible ice only exists in conditions where ______.A. the water can be frozenB. the natural gas or oil is producedC. the temperatures are low and the pressure is highD. there is a warm climate like that in the South China Sea29. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. China has made great efforts to discover and extract combustible ice.B. The mining site is located between the Shenhu area and Zhuhai.C. 16,000 cubic meters of gas can be extracted at most every day.D. It is easy for China to mine combustible ice successfully.30. What is the significance of the Chinese major breakthrough in combustible ice?A. It is the most important mining discovery in history.B. It is believed to be the best natural gas.C. Many countries along the Maritime Silk Road support it.D. As a kind of alternative fuel, it may lead to a global energy revolution.31. This passage is most likely to be taken from _______.A. a daily newspaperB. a fashion magazineC. a science fictionD. a research paperDChinese paper cutting or “jianzhi” is the art of cu tting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called “chuang hua”. Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.There are symmetrical(对称的) designs that are usually created by some folding and cutting. When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design. Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usually in an even number series of 2, 4, 24, etc.The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th century found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked paper. By the end of the Qing ruling, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced.
