Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring．It could also be someone like J．K．Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr．who has proven to be strong and intelligent person．However, in today's world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroeslisted above, despite their intentions or actions．Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons．First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second, because stars' actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars' lives．Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren't right for teenagers．In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level．However, teens must take responsibility for their actions．We can't always blame stars for influencing us．Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something．Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else．Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight．With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated．These people influence teens whether or not they want to．Why should someone who doesn't want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It's our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it's time for us to take responsibility for our actions．In doing so，we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them．16. The teens like to imitates stars in order to _________.A. know more about stars’ storiesB. be accepted by societyC. be reported by the mediaD. become more fashionable17. According to the author, the role the media play in setting examples to teenagers is__________.A. reasonableB. inspiringC. positiveD. negative18. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to _____________.A. keep a balance between study and entertainmentsB. be responsible for their own choices and behaviorsC. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popularD. choose their role models through different reports19. What does the underlined phrase “step into the spotlight” mean in the 4th paragraph?A. enter a place with a spotlight.B. get the attention of the media.C. lose interest in the media.D. react properly to the media.20. It can be inferred from the passage that_____．A. stars must take the responsibility for teenagers' actionsB. not all famous stars choose to influence teenagersC. teenagers choose those inspiring people as their role modelsD. stars set good examples immediately they become famous第二节：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。

AIn Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national courses, they are allowed lots of choices in deciding what to teach. Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils. Cooleen Bridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary-school building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers sa y, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.”And so the courses include yoga, cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing, drama and environmental river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science.1.

Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls within oneor two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.9.Many plants may survive in deserts when_____________.A. it is dry all the year roundB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. the rain is spread out in a year10.Sand dunes are formed when_____________.A. sand piles up graduallyB. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller11.It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heatDWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused t o take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of hel p to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.12. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.13.Which statement is true about “a girl—the author’s enemy” mentioned in the passage?A. The girl was fond of pointing out my shortcomings.B. The girl thought I was foolish in my life.C. The girl was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. The girl thought my shortcomings grew more and more serious.14. Why did her father listen to her daughter quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.15. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had.C. MyFatherD. My Childhood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人空白处的最佳选项。

GaryBThe last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello，” said Bunny. “Is somebody there？”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny-looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)？” asked Bunny.“Yes，” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Father Christmas’ sled？”“I was until I got airsick，” replied Ralph, “I’m afraid I wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend，” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!4．Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A．He had a lot of things to do. B．He was disturbed by a big noise.C．He was thinking of what gift he would get. D．He wanted to have a look at the reindeer. 5．As soon as Bunny came downstairs, he ________.A．was probably very sad B．found what he wantedC．ran into a reindeer D．heard a loud cry6．The underlined part “cut out for” in the text probably means “________”．A．fit for B．afraid of C．proud of D．interested in7．What would be the best title for the text?A．A strange Christmas tree B．A special Christmas giftC．A quiet but smart boy D．A lovely reindeerCEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world —Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey —rats will soon be man’s best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why？Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal．This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course)．8．In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can ________.A．replace man’s rescue jobsB．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD．get into small spaces9．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by ________. A．the noise made by the rat B．the rat’s unusual behaviorC．the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back D．the smell given off by the person 10．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ________.A. they are more fantastic than other animalsB. they are less expensive to train than dogs C．they don’t need electricity D. they are small and can get into small places 11．After reading the passage we know ________.A．at present rats have replaced dogs in searching for peopleB．the “rat project” has been co mpletedC．people are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescuesDSeverely disabled people may soon be able to use their noses to write, drive a wheelchair or surf the Internet, thanks to a device developed by doctors in Israel.The device will be used by breathing in and out through the nose, according to a study. Healthy people who tested the device quickly learned to play computer games and write sentences by sniffing. Encouraged by the results, the researchers decided to test their device on people who are paralyzed (瘫痪) but whose intelligence remains normal. Ten paralyzed who tested the device quickly learned to use their noses to write words, open a webpage, copy words and put them into a search engine.With their success in helping severely disabled people to communicate, the researchers decided to make use of the new technology to design an electric wheelchair to be driven by sniffs.Ten healthy people easily mastered sniff—driving a wheelchair through a maze (迷宫), and a 30-year-old man who had been paralyzed from the neck down for six years was as good a sniff-driver as the healthy participants at his second attempt. In other words, a paralyzed person could use the sniff controller to drive an electric wheelchair.At the moment, sniff-controlled technology is still in the stage of development, and the Weizmann Institute has already made a request for a patent(专利) on the device. “I’ll be very happy if it can help us to make money, but the real problem is that I hope someone will develop it, because this would help a lot of people,”said Sobel, one of the lead researchers of the study.12. What’s the purpose of t he passage?A. To introduce a new invention.B. To equip the disabled with life skills.C. To show the nose's special functions.D. To instruct doctors to demand a patent.13. In the test, the paralyzed people with normal intelligence can use their nose to ______.A. type long sentences quicklyB. play computer games easilyC. enter a website without much difficultyD. communicate with others successfully14. With the help of the sniffing device, a 30-year-old disabled man ______.A. spent six years learning how to drive a wheelchairB. failed to drive through the maze at his first attemptC. took the wheelchair controlled by healthy participantsD. managed to drive an electric wheelchair by sniffing15. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the sniff-controlled technology ______.A. will be applied to other fields of researchB. needs further developing to serve more peopleC. has become an important patented inventionD. shows the wisdom and talents of Israel doctors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人空白处的最佳选项。

Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends— they will remain silent, waiting to hearwhat you have to say. In the class, you must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.41. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.16．noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious42.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religiousservices(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(墓). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings andmemories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries（面包房）, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.45.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up46.What do you know from the passage?A Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC Not all the children respect their parentsD Fathers are not as important as mothers at home47.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A It only has two kinds of color.B It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the third Sunday in June.48.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special candy fo r Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.3.Advertisement★Share Flat.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elde r brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable fo r western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.53. The passage may be ____.A. a story from a magazineB. a piece of news from a newspaperC. a report on the radioD. a speech to the classmates54. The author （作者）showed all these objects EXCEPT_____ in the passage.A. the blonde wigB. the expensive blouseC. the coolest trousersD. the school uniform55. What does the author （作者）want to tell us in last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popularB. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigsC. Fashion is actually a businessD. Business often depends on the production of wigs.五、单词拼写单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）61．S______ is the system by which some people are owned by others.62．Fifty years ago, mixed-race marriages were f________.63．The police a_____ Rosa Parks, a black woman who refused to give her seat to a white man..64．Do you know which big cities are at the same a______ as Rio de Janeiro?.65．There are many café, shops and restaurants on Copacabana’s main a________ .66．It is very relaxing to take a d______ in the pool in summer.67．There is a w______ belief among bioengineers that it will be one day be possible to create life under laboratory conditions. .68．It is easier for a physical wound to heal than a m______ one.69．Although Sam left school more than ten years ago, he still keeps in touch with his f_____ classmates . 70．Some people are g______ for money and some for power. .六、短文改错短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

甘肃省高台县第一中学2016年春学期期末试卷高二英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（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，并写在答题卡上。

ALet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much，he will stop talking。

He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use。

Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s。

In the same way，children learn to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle，compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem，whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not。

But computer injuries happen slowly.You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters (厘米) from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wristsHand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times.

If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. Howev er his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.8.

The emperor _____________.A. died soon after Taj Mahan diedB. was killed by his sonC. was beloved by his peopleD. died after 1648DIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about reading rate:● Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.● Some things should be read slowly throughout.

AA mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learnt first aid skills. Sonya had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly.Sonya, who also has a son Emmen, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children’s Centre. Then she was faced with every parent’s worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s life.Sonya said: “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learnt the day before. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when there’s any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practicing first aid. I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aidskills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckilyI had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”1. What happened to Tilly?A. She fell on the floor and hit her head.B. She was knocked down by her brother.C. She was hit by a toy on the head and felt upset.D. She was hit by her brother and stopped breathing.2.When Sonya found Tilly’s shaking, she thought her daughter must ______.A. be cryingB. be very angryC. pretend to be hurtD. recognize her failure3. When Sonya goes to the first aid class next time, she will feel ______.A. enjoyableB. excitedC. gratefulD. confidentBThere have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today - the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.In the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world. People began to work to make life better.In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light bulbs. There were more great inventions in the early 20th century, such as the helicopters in 1907, movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon （尼龙）came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China, have made their steps into space.In 1969, man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.4. This passage mainly talks about ________.A. why cars were very importantB. when the light bulb was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. the process of inventions5. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _______.A. the helicopterB. the cameraC. jet planesD. movies6. _______ made the first step into space.A. RussiaB. ChinaC. AmericaD. Japan7. Which of the followings is NOT true?A. An American first stepped on the moon.B. The wheel was the first great invention, but it is not very important today.C. In the early 1800s there was little unknown land.D. New inventions will change our lives greatly in the future.CLiving in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.8. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications9.People in Micronesia show “yes” by ______.A. nodding headsB. raising eyebrowsC. shaking headsD. saying “no”10.Tom misunderstood his class at first because______.A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. he didn’t explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn’t understand his questionsD. he didn’t know where the students came from11.The passage is mainly about______.A. body language in foreign restaurantsB. class discussion in Indian schoolsC. miscommunication in different culturesD. English teaching in other countriesDMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering（登山）.Those who have a passion（热情） for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity towhich men give their spare time.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with mere skills and less waste of effort, and they can certainly experience equal enjoyment.12. Mountaineering involves____.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above13. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _____.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants14. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_____.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. How to Climb High MountainsB. Mountain ClimbersC. Challenging Sports ActivitiesD.

AWalk into the California home of Anne Belles and her husband, Jim Silcock, and you’ll see kids everywhere playing video games, doing homework, and getting ready for dinner. There are 30 boys in this house and Anne Belles is their mom. Belles has wanted to help children since she was a kid. “I was intrigued by the movie Oliver! in the 1960s, a musical based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. I told my mom, ‘That’s what I want to do.Anne’s boys are from 3 to 25 years old. All of them are challenged in some way. “They each have special needs — physically, mentally (精神上), or at school,” says Belles.Every day, a small army of childcare workers, nurses, and volunteers comes in to help cook and clean, wash 30 loads of laundry a day, and take care of health needs.To find out how much such a large family costs, we followed Jim Silcock to the grocery store. He spent $880 on food for one week. Every month they spend $2,000 to run five cars, $15,000 for the fourteen paid helpers, and more than $10,000 on medical costs. The family receives $26,000 a month from the state government, and makes some money from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new clothes and fancy cars isn’t important to Belles.How do the kids feel? 17-year-old Anthony says, “The family is there whenever I need somet hing ... I feel like I am loved.”“Everything I’m doing now is what I wanted to happen in my life,” says Anne Belles. “So, no regrets; this is perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to be better —maybe a bigger house, you know, would be nice.”1. The underlined w ord “intrigued” in the first paragraph means “_____”.A. fooledB. disappointedC.frightened D. attracted2. The boys Anne has raised _____.A. are all ready to accept a challengeB. all have disabilitiesC . all like Oliver Twist D. are all teenagers3. For Anne and her husband, raising 30 boys _____.A. is their dreamB. is a piece of cakeC. is not a small taskD. is their family tradition4. What do 17-year-old Anthony’s words mean?A.

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 d o “cover” themselves in order to carry certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expressionof 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 businessesit 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 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（后选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.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 longas the standards are legal.8. Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph2?A. People's appearances 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.9. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Appearances MatterC. Personal Choices MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter10. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace can be described as .A. SupportiveB. enthusiasticC. positiveD.

【关键字】学期静宁一中2016-2017学年度高二级第一次月考试题（卷）英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分：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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhile in college, Tim started to look for easy ways to make money. One of the opportunities he saw was gambling (赌博). He started learning about all forms of gambling. He got lucky enough to make $9,000, but sadly it didn’t last long and over the next year he lost all of that mo ney. It was at this point that Tim realized that he needed to stop gambling and focus on learning about finance.One day, he was talking to one of his friends about creating a business, and his friend turned him onto Quick Sprout. So he started reading every blog post on Quick Sprout in the hope that he could learn about how to become a successful businessman and meet some people through Quick Sprout that he could partner up with.A year ago Tim read a blog post on Quick Sprout about another businessman by the name of Timothy Sykes. Tim visited and learned about his Millionaire Challenge program that taught people how to buy and sell penny stocks (低价股票). Tim thought it would be worth giving a try.Tim spent the next few months learning from Timothy Sykes on how to trade stocks. After he felt that he had learned enough, he wanted to start trading. Within the first 6 months of using what he learned in the Millionaire Challenge program, he made over $40,000. At one point he even made $11,000 in 15 minutes.Over the next 12 months Tim is on track to make even more money. So far things are looking good and he is already ahead of schedule. The Millionaire Challenge program has worked out so well for him and he is now starting to enjoy the finer things of life.1. Tim decide to learn about finance when _____.A. he first entered the collegeB. he was lucky enough to earn $9,000C. he learned about all forms of gamblingD. he lost all the money he got from gambling2. By visiting , Tim _____.A. found a business opportunityB. knew how Quick Sprout developedC. posted a blog he wrote on the websiteD. set up the Millionaire Challenge program3. How did Tim come to know Timothy Sykes?A. By attending Timothy’s lectures.B. By trading stocks with Timothy.C. By being introduced by friends.D. By visiting a website by chance.4. The last two paragraphs show Tim _____.A. has stopped learning from TimothyB. has taken charge of the programC. benefits from the stock marketD. has become a millionaireBThe Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago. The only reason Internet sales are not taxed (征税) is because we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was created. Internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same product except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed.When buying online, people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store. To fix this, customers are going into the store to see the product. Then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. This is a form of tax evasion (逃税) if you ask me!Everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online as well. Also, the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the government to fund (为……拨款) certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds. This could go toward the country’s schools or other things necessary for society to function well. These funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession (经济衰退) that the country is in at this point. Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country.In conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing Internet sales. I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country. The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.5. The text mainly discusses _____.A. whether it is a good way to buy things onlineB. whether Internet sales should be taxedC. why people love to buy things onlineD. why Internet sales are not taxed6. Internet sales are not taxed because _____.A. selling online was unexpectedB. they are different from store salesC. people don’t know how to tax themD. many people are against taxing them7. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods.B. Customers get better products at a lower price online.C. Problems related to online shopping are hard to fix.D. Online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax.8. According to the author, taxing Internet sales _____.A. is good for all peopleB. can help the country out of the recessionC. can help improve the quality of productsD. is beneficial to the development of InternetCAs a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Evenwhen her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents. com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“In the1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, a publisher of Grand magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.9. Why was Garza’s move a success?A．It strengthened her family ties.B．It improved her living conditions.C．It enabled her make more friends.D．It helped her know more new places.10.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robin son’s decision?A．17% expressed their support for it.B．Few people responded sympathetically.C．83% believed it had a bad influence.D．The majority thought it was a trend.11.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.C. Sacrifice for their strugg ling children.D. Get to know themselves better.DCalifornia’s Redwood National ParkStand in the middle of the vast redwood forests and you may feel like you have stepped back in time. It’s hard not to be amazed when you’re staring at Earth’s tallest living things. And that feeling continues everywhere in the park. Whether walking along the beaches or hiking in the woods, visitors are in awe of the natural surroundings, various wildlife, and quiet peace.● History:Old-growth redwood forests used to cover more than 2,000,000 acres of the California coast. At that time, about 1850, Native Americans lived in the northern area until lumbermen (伐木工人) discovered it. Many trees were cut down. In 1918, the Save-the-Redwoods League was formed in an effort to protect the area, and by 1920 many state parks were set up. Redwood National Park was created in 1968 even though about 90% of the original redwood trees had already been cut down.● When to Visit:Summers are warm. It is the busiest time of the year. Winters are cool and provide a different kind of visit. If you enjoy bird-watching, plan your visit during the spring. You may also want to consider a visit during the fall to catch the amazing fallen leaves.● Getting There:For those driving into the park, you will use U.S. Highway 101 whether you are traveling from the north or south. If you are traveling from the northeast, take U.S. Highway 199 from South Fork Road to Howland Hill Road.● Fe es / Permits:One of the best things about this national park is it’s free to visit! That’s right! There is no entrance fee for Redwood National Park. However, if you plan on camping in the park, fees and reservations (预约) are required. Call 800-444-7275 for more information.12. The underlined part “in awe of” in Paragraph 1 probably describes a feeling of _____.A. sadnessB. lonelinessC. amazementD. satisfaction13.
