“Hey, Angelo, come out here!”“In a minute, Mama.” Angelo Lopez stuffed his sweater into the closet and ran to the kitchen.Officer Ward stood by the table with Mrs. Lopez. When Angelo saw the officer, he stopped. Angelo just stood there with his hands behind his back.Angelo knew why Officer Ward had come. Earlier that day, someone had broken thewindow in Smith’s bake shop. About 15 pies and cakes had been stolen.An gelo was worried. Did the police know that he hadn’t been in school today?“Well now, Angelo,” Officer Ward said. “What do you know about the broken window at Smith’s? I have already been to school. Your headteacher said you weren’t there today. Where were you, Angelo?”Angelo felt trapped. He remembered how angry Mama had been the last time he skipped school. But he just couldn’t tell the truth right now.“Well, Angelo, why don’t you tell me?” Officer Ward said.But Angelo couldn’t. His mother had treated him like a kid ever since the last trouble. Andshe was extremely mad now.“Oh, Angelo,” she cried. “What will I do with you? If only your Papa were here to do with these problems! Why did he have to go to one of his friends’ funeral? All that money to fly to Puerto Rico. And for what? Now Papa’s in Puerto Rico without any money. How will he ever get back? Oh, Angelo, why do I have all this trouble? Why, Angelo?”“Mama, please...” Angelo wanted to explain. He wanted to tell her he hadn’t stolen the piesand cakes. But he couldn’t.Angelo had been working at Mr. Perello’s drugstore after school and on Weekends. Buttoday Mr. Perello was sick. He asked Angelo to work during the day. Angelo needed the money. So he worked instead of going to school.“Well, Angelo,” Mr. Ward said. “You still haven’t come up with an answer. What do youknow about the bakery?”Just then the phone was ringing. Mrs. Lopez went into the hall to answer it.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150 左右；2. 应使用5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；93. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom g ot scared and struggled free of job."Tom, no!

The cougar was on jeb in a flash, leaving Tom alone, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar's claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his f ist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father."Knife, Tom," shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms.

It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I’ve made a living looking for the best deals and exposing（揭露）the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it’s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.28. Why did Delta give the author’s family credits?A.

But these grand buildings could soon look like bungalows in comparison to a three-mile-high skyscraper which it is said could be built by 2062.The skyscraper is the idea of Arconic, a materials science company based in New York, as part of its larger campaign called “The Jetsons” —a homage (致敬) to the 1962 cartoon, set in 2062. Arconic has imagined the skyscraper created using materials that are either in-development or have already been brought to market, including smog-eating surfaces and retractable (可伸缩的) balconies.Sherri McCleary, one of Arconic's chief materials scientists, says one of the most exciting and immediate projects is EcoClean, a special coating that helps buildings self-clean and purify the surrounding air. It was first released in 2011 and offers a number of benefits over traditional glass windows. The functional coating provides beauty and a benefit to the surrounding environment by reducing the content of pollutants around it.EcoClean uses a mix of chemicals, which use both light and water vapour (蒸汽) to produce atoms known as free radicals. These free radicals draw in pollutants in the air, breaking them down before they fall off the side of the building.Another innovation (创新) is in the windows themselves, which Arconic also hopes could be a part of the three-mile-high tower. The new design is called Bloomframe. Essentially, it's a motorized window that changes into anall-glass balcony in under a minute. The firm has already showcased the Bloomframe technology at several trade shows, and hopes it will become available to buy in the near future.Fitting in with “The Jetsons” theme, the firm is also working on flying cars, featuring ultra-lightweight car bodies and airplane wings. In the meantime, it continues working to push the limits of what modern-day skyscrapers can look like and do. Thanks to 3D printing, McCleary says many structures that aren't currently feasible (可行的) could withstand high winds and unique climates. “We're looking at improving materials that can be 3D-printed to give more and more options to designers and architects,” she says.32. What can we learn about the skyscraper?A. It is now in-development.B. It has many futuristic features.C. It was first put forward in 1962.D. It will be the tallest building in 2062.33. What is EcoClean supposed to achieve?A. A tidier coating.B. A quieter environment.C. A cleaner building surrounded by cleaner air.D. A more beautiful view through glass windows.34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How EcoClean works.B. How we can avoid pollution.C. What free radicals are.D. Where EcoClean comes from.35. Which of the following may require Bloomframe technology?A. Flying cars.B. Balcony walls.C. Airplane wings.D. Changeable windows.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

在具体命题过程中，要注意避免“容易题”不容易的现象，试题既要关注呈现方式的创新，又要立足学科主干知识，提供的图文资料简约，设问方向明确，做到活而不难。

高一年级学科命题更有利于引导学生正确地选择文理科学习。

2、命题原则要求：(1)、确定人员：确定1名教师命题，并指定1名教师认真审核校对，签字复印。

(2)、命题原则：期末考试各学科应针对本学期学期中间过程中检查学生掌握知识情况命题，因此学科试卷的命题务必要结合现行本学科教材教学实际情况加以命制，以促进学生课堂听课兴趣和学习效率。

(3)、确定题型：参照全国卷高考试卷的题型，在单项选择题、多项选择题、填空题、计算题、简答题、实验题、论述题等题型中，根据学科特点选择题型，题型可以与2017年全国卷保持一致。

(4)、制订双项细目表：制订双向细目表有利于教师整体把握试卷覆盖面及难度。

双向细目表包含考查什么知识点，采用什么题型，占多少分值，达到什么要求（A或B），难度为多少。

考试命题双项细目表题号知识点题型分值预估难度值12(5)、选题、编题与组卷：试题可以选择在现成考题的基础上加以改造，或对教材习题进行改造，推陈出新，提倡原创题，各个试题之间应该保持相对独立，不要使一个试题的解答对另一个试题的解答有暗示作用。

曲沃二中2017-2018学年高二（下）期末考试英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共20小题，每小题3分，满分60分）AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.1. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of workB. He was bored with his jobC. He wanted a higher positionD. He hoped to find a better boss2. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicantsB. There was no hope for him to get the jobC. He regretted helping the old manD. The interviewer was very rude3. A. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？A. Where there is a will, there’s a wayB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. Good is rewarded with good.D. Two heads are better than oneBChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when Itraveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.4. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.5. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local culture.D. to improve his riding skills6. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.7. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BGoing green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Wh ether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for anentire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meantchallenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycleand reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to doand this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our GreenYear started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how theycould go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all thegreen things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted topush the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.8.
