AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of myfavorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un- aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother ’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn ’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world. In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That ’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I ’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I ’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn ’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I ’m headed, but he is stuck with me.21. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.22. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.23. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.24. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little Brother命题：姓名_______D. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBBuckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. It is the Queen’s official and main royal London home.Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(公爵) of Buckingham for his wife.

It flies above the British Union Flag (the Union Jack ), and other British flags. It never flies at half mast.The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall, furry hats. When the first guards come on duty, there is a ceremony called the Changing of the Guard. A familiar sight at Buckingham Palace is the Changing of the Guard ceremony that takes place in the open space in front of it each morning.The Palace has around 750 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 92 offices, a cinema and a swimming pool.

Her Internet access was locked---remotely---to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was; Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honestly in the booming field of on line education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid---that students haven’t searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating become sharper in the last ye ar with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at he same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.29. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.D. To prevent her from slowing down.30. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line31. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by_________.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scanning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questions第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20 小题; 每小题1.5 分, 满分30 分)Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4一、阅读理解Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身），nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent（代表） the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates（候选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearance s carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workp lace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)二、七选五______51_____ It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity (基督诞生) or "birth" play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.（马棚）.On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited.______52____ The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney of fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillowcase or a sack to try to get more presents.________53_____On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although there is no light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year._____54______ At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in._____55______ Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiness of all Christian holidays comes to an end.A. People are often busy going shopping.B. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.C. Now the Chinese people also celebrate Christmas.D. Children look for their presents, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.E. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.F. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.G. Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.。

高二寒假模拟考试试题英语试卷四满分为100分第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（动画电影欣赏）《霍顿与无名氏》Horton Hears a Who! (2008)是2008年福克斯制作的一部动画。

在名为欧诺的热带丛林中，小象霍顿（金·凯瑞JimCarrey 配音）和朋友们自由自在地生活于此。

某天，一粒灰尘闯入霍顿的世界。

当灰尘经过他面前时，他仿佛听到微弱的求救声。

经过一番手忙脚乱的追逐，霍顿终于在一朵花上找到了那粒灰尘。

原来灰尘上有一个“无名镇（呼呼镇）”，当地人民原本生活安泰，无忧无虑，但一枚滑落的果实却将“无名镇”所在的灰尘从苜蓿花蕊上撞向天空。

这一变故让即将迎来百年庆典的“无名镇”出现诸多怪事，偶然机缘，小镇镇长麦多多和霍顿间取得了联系。

为了让小镇重新回到稳定状态，霍顿决定带着他们回到原有的世界……本片根据苏斯博士（Dr. Seuss）的同名小说改编。

霍顿的配音演员就是金凯瑞。

不知道是不是因为《变相怪杰》给我的印象太深，我完全把金凯瑞归结到喜剧演员里了，所以不管看他的什么电影，总会跳戏。

这里推荐金凯瑞其他的几部电影，都是我特别喜欢的。

《神探飞机头》、《大话王》、《一个头两个大》、《冒牌天神》，当然还有一部神作《楚门的世界》，希望大家成为阅片无数的老司机。

看完《楚门的世界》，我发现让金凯瑞来给霍顿配音，是多么合适。

AI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with pe ople, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I t each that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation (合作) and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining (维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and i t also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane (人道) societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.21. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ________.A. they consider animals their best friendsB. they are curious about animal kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior22. The author used wolves as an example to ________.A. provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB. explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble23. We can infer from the text that some prisoners ________.A. have turned over a new leafB. are required to attend the courseC. are willing to learn working skillsD. prefer humane education to scienceBRaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocen tly in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”24. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Spoke unhappily.25. What made the author feel upset was ________.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bus home26. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he was concerned about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s Secret.B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.CMelbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destinat ion, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password.

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4一、阅读理解Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身），nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent（代表） the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates（候选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearance s carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workp lace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)二、七选五______51_____ It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity (基督诞生) or "birth" play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.（马棚）.On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited.______52____ The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney of fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillowcase or a sack to try to get more presents.________53_____On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although there is no light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year._____54______ At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in._____55______ Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiness of all Christian holidays comes to an end.A. People are often busy going shopping.B. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.C. Now the Chinese people also celebrate Christmas.D. Children look for their presents, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.E. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.F. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.G. Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.。

One of the reasons people love it so much is that you get presents. But likepresents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, too. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because you never know his/her religious background.The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instea d of religious part or the “Christmas spirit”. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.In fact, some people wh o celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,”Happy holidays!”56. Christians believe December 25 represents the birthday of _________.A. Santa ClausB. GodC. Jesus ChristD. Thomas Nast57. In the passage, the author thinks __________.A. Santa Claus was a real person in the pastB. everyone should believe in ChristianityC. all people in Western countries celebrate ChristmasD. Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas holiday58. What is “the true meaning” in the first passage?A. For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the yearB. The Westerners have different religious backgroundsC. Some like to say “Merry Christmas”, and others like to say “Happy holidays”D. Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans59. What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus?A. He was a Greek Christian in the 4th centuryB. He was an America n who was born in the 19th centuryC. His image represents the “Christmas spirit”D. He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas NastBHave you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954. What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep water? They were drown. If an animal who has not learnt swim could escape by swimming, Why not you? Because you believe you will drownwhile the animal doesn’t.Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never questioned it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts you jam if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshop for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are.

But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster---often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-mood buster(破坏者). A person who is in bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.Give yourself a pep talkStop and listen to what is on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“ I still don’t have a job” v.s “ I have two interviews next week.”)Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想象)，all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no choices. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not he lp much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind -----something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine(咖啡因) contribute to depressed moods. The better choice?

I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America and i t’s readily apparent no one lives there. Earlier this year in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’s bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released book-- The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “ This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances (环境) are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to yourchildhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talki ng about.We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years--the loose windows that make noise in the wind, the fireplace so shallow it holds only one log, the kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It is where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “ Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”69. What would be the best title for the text?A. Home means everythingB. W hat’s inside makes us feel at homeC.
