内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.In the middle of the 20th century people were worried about whales.The number of whales killed worldwide came up to 66,000 per year.However,people weren't worried about the whale as an endangeredanimal.Instead,they were worried about the whale industry,which would disappear if there were no whales.In 1946,the International Whaling Commission was established.It limited the whale hunting for every country and controlled the whale industry.But the commission recognized that the limitation wasn't enough.They set a worldwide law against hunting whales with only two exceptions: the hunt for scientific research and "aboriginal whaling".Aboriginal whaling allows some countries to hunt a limited number of whales because it is a part of their culture.Some countries like Japan and Norway don't care about the law;they make excuses to hunt whales and sell the products.They only care about the money.Many fishermen complain that dolphins,also a kind of whale,steal their fish.Therefore,they kill thousands of them.In fact,this is not the truth.In reality there are so many fishermen who steal the fish from each other.Some whale hunters say that they catch the animals for scientists.They have to research what whales are eating.For that, they kill them and look into their stomach.The truth is that they only want to sell the meat.Today scientists want to observe live whales for their research.Many whale families are not protected and thousands of them are killed.Nobody knows if all whale families would survive,even if humans end all whale hunting today.The pollution of the oceans increases fast and the poison gets into the bodies of the animals.Many of them get sick and die.The human being has killed 90%-95% of many whale families.Others are already extinct.Today some international organizations try to protect whales.They make reports to explain how important and endangered whales are.Now people are becoming more interested in whales and a complete new industry has developed,whale watching,which you may want to learn about.【1】The text is mainly about .A．whale industry B．whale researchC．whale product D．whale protection【2】In the middle of the 20th century,what people really worried was that .A．more whales would be killed worldwide per yearB．the whale would become an endangered animalC．the whale industry would disappearD．the law against hunting whales would come into effect【3】Why does Aboriginal whaling allow some countries to hunt a limited number of whales?A．Because there are many whales in their countries.B．Because hunting whales is a part of their culture.C．Because they only care about money.D．Because they live on hunting whales.【4】Why do many fishermen complain about dolphins?A．Because dolphins steal their fish.B．Because they want to make an excuse for killing dolphins.C．Because there are so few dolphins for them to hunt.D．Because people have misunderstood their purpose of hunting dolphins.2.I'm a 20-year-old boy,and the following is my story.A month after I graduated from high school in August,2007,I was coming home from swim practice in the trainingcentre of the city and was involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around.At that time,it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were completely destroyed.But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to make every great effort to learn to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live on my own again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to Go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf,Maryland.After I spent a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle that I was able to walk again,but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but also run.When it came true,I wanted to get back into the pool again.After having a few lung tests,I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary's College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them.I remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members.I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.【1】The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of " ".A．operation B．unconsciousnessC．treatment D．emergency【2】According to Paragraph 3,it can be inferred that the author .A．was unable to talk or communicate B．was in despairC．faced physical and mental challenges D．felt anxious about his state【3】In the last paragraph,the author mainly wants to show .A．his positive influence on other patients B．his meaningful lifeC．his purpose of sharing his story D．his great achievements【4】The best title for the passage would be " ".A．Actions speak louder than words B．Attitude is everythingC．Everything happens for a reason D．A Good beginning is half done3.After giving a talk at a high school,I was asked to pay a visit to a special student.An illness had kept the boy home,but he had expressed an interest in meeting me.I was told it would mean a great deal to him,so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home,I found out something about Matthew.He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）.When he was born,the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,and then they were told he would not make it to ten.Now he was thirteen.He wanted to meet me because I was a Gold-medal powerlifter,and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew.Never once did he complain or ask,"Why me?"He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams.Obviously,he knew what he was talking about.He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different.He just talked about his hopes for the future,and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.When we had finished talking,I went to my briefcase（公文包）and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck.I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would.He looked at it for a moment,then took it off and handed it back to me.He said,"You are a champion.You earned that medal.Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal,I will show it to you."Last summer I received a letter from Matthew's parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more,but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal,but I know now I will never get to do that.However,I know I'm achampion,and God knows that too.When I get to Heaven,God will give me my medal and when you get there,I will show it to you.Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew【1】The boy looked forward to meeting the author because .A．he was also good at weight liftingB．he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medalC．he was one of the author's fansD．he admired the author very much【2】The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that .A．the boy never complained about how unlucky he was to have this diseaseB．the boy never complained about not being able to go to schoolC．the boy never complained why the author had never come to see him beforeD．the boy never complained about not getting a medal【3】Matthew didn't accept the author's medal because .A．he thought it was too expensiveB．he was sure that he could win one in the futureC．he thought it was of no use to him as he would die soonD．he would not be pitied by others【4】What would be the best title for this passage?A．A sick boy.B．A special friend.C．A real champion.D．A famous athlete.4.Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.Mr.Sammut also said,"In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him.It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being.""In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050.To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments.This will require major advances in perception（感知）,decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviors.Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors（传感器）,energy storage,and materials."【1】The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth .A．in 1968B．in 1978C．in the 1990s D．30 years ago【2】We can conclude from Mr.Sammut's words that .A．robots would be smarter than human beings in the near futureB．robots have more ambitions than human beingsC．robots would take control of the worldD．many parts of robots still need improving【3】What's the best title for this passage?A．Scientists' Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players.B．Robot Football Players to Beat World's Best by 2050.C．Robot Football Players' Bright Future.D．Mr Sammut—the Father of Robot Football Players二、其他【1】Self-worth is very important in your life.

内蒙古高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would warn to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world. They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are bus y enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can , contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the Iasi twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Your lifestyle.B．Your life value.C．Your trouble in life.D．Your life experience.【2】Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A．They possess different kinds of superpowers.B．They have got the power to change the world.C．Some people around them arc making the world better.D．There are many powerful people in their life and work.【3】What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A．Learning more and contributing more to a cause.B．Rising above self and acting to help others.C．Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D．Trying your best to help the poor.【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.B．Much more progress will be made in the near future.C．The work on health is the most valuable experience.D．People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.2.Hey, ladies! It’s summer again and it’s time for a new you! No more make-up, no more pretending! Yes, that’s right! It’s time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕）or your eyes look small, or if you have crow’s feet? Guesswhat? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn’t think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we tend to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet thetruth is, by doing this, we are actually making our true skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up. What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves?So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You’ll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.Yes, the saying, “Beauty comes from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some truth today. So be brave, carefree, and make-up free! Let the world see you for who you really are!【1】The author thinks that ladies should show others _______.A．their crow’s feet B．their beautiful picturesC．their real face with confidence D．their attractive appearance【2】What does the author think of adding make-up to our face?A．It makes perfect images.B．It’s really meaningless.C．It makes true images go outdated D．It’s hard to achieve what we wish.【3】What is the author’s purpose of quoting the old saying?A．To declare it’s what one really is that matters.B．To show the importance of adding make-upC．To give us some examples of adding make-up.D．To tell us not to neglect those old sayings.【4】What is the topic of this text?A．Spending more time being with families and friends.B．Not putting on any make-up on our face this summer.C．Paying enough attention to ourselves in this summer.D．Showing the beautiful side of ourselves to others.3.Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million pe ople. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the center of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand. The city’s landscape is decided by volcanic hills, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world. Auckland has many volcanic hills, many of which cur rently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s geography is such that shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political center of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering(闪闪发光的) cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it takes your breath away. Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultur al and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.Wellington is host to an excellent Festival of the Arts every two years.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．The Landscape of New Zealand B．The Capital of New ZealandC．Auckland and Wellington D．Welcome to New Zealand【2】Auckland is the best city in New Zealand for people to ______________.A．study New Zealand culture B．see green hillsC．visit historic streets and buildings D．do water sports【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the cityscape in Wellington?A．Critical B．NeutralC．Preferable D．Indifferent4.Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether 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 April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push 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.【1】What might be the best title for the passage?A．Celebrating Our Green Year.B．Protecting the Planet.C．Keeping Open-MindedD．Going Green.【2】It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A．they needed to perform unusual green tasksB．they didn't know how to educate other peopleC．they were unwilling to reduce their energyD．they were expected to follow the green fad【3】What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A．They ignore others' ungreen behavior.B．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.C．They chose better chemical cleaners.D．They sold their home-made food.【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The government will give support to the green people.B．Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.C．The couple may continue their project in the future.D．Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.二、完形填空When I was 17, I met a famous doctor named Paul Bragg.

One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生). John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I reall y appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.”John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) student s can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!【1】According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John’s ______.A．PE marks B．self-confidenceC．interest in sports D．state of health【2】Why did John take part in the track team?A．He had been an excellent runner.B．He was encouraged by his teacher.C．He liked running more than tennis.D．He had no tennis coach to train him.【3】The purpose of this passage is probably ______.A．to build a close teacher-student relationshipB．to introduce a new way of sports trainingC．to explain the value of sports and gamesD．to show the importance of encouragement【4】The passage is mainly written for ______.A．teachers B．parentsC．students D．players2.Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information.Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.【1】The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A．take an adventureB．travel to EnglandC．try a new lifestyleD．hire a motorhome【2】What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Fast.B．Safe.C．Useful.D．Exciting.【3】Why should you book a motorhome early if you want to book one for this summer?A．Booking early is much cheaper.B．Summer is usually a very busy season.C．You can arrange your time better this way.D．Students usually book them to earn money.【4】The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motorhome by _________.A．telling us a storyB．giving detailed dataC．comparing it with flyingD．showing the results of a study3."How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How areyou?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the oth er person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong…" But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.【1】When a person in the United States asks "How are you?, he or she wants to hear " _______".A．How are you?B．Hello.C．I don't know.D．Fine.【2】When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_______".A．You're wrong. I disagree.B．I'm not sure.C．I'm sure I disagree.D．No, I disagree.【3】When a person says "I have to go now" "Someone's at the door", the person may be _______.A．giving an excuse B．hurting someone's feelingC．ill in bed D．asking you a question【4】What does the rule of the game of language probably mean?A．Be polite.B．Don't disagree with people.C．Always say what you mean.D．Never say exactly what you are thinking.4.When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story" shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22.year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just l5 years old. The effect of that LOSS became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. ".What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,'' she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is ''as simple as making a decision". 【1】In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A．b, a, e, c, d B．a, b, c, e, d C．e, d, b, a, c D．b, e, a, d, c【2】The main idea of the passage is_______.A．how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB．what a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC．why Liz loved her parents so muchD．how Liz struggled to change her life【3】What actually made her go towards her goal?A．Envy and encouragement.B．Willpower and determination.C．Decisions and understanding.D．Love and respect for her parents.二、信息匹配根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Green woods , mountains, and the large Danube River give the city beautiful surroundings.Vienna has more than l,600,000 people. Almost one-fourth of all the people of Austria live there. Vienna is sometimes called " a city without a country". It is so big that it does not seem to be suitable in so small a country as Austria.Vienna was a center of science and art and music, too. Many great musicians lived there. It had the name of being a city of spirits , partly because of the dance music and operettas （轻歌剧） written by Viennese musicians.After World War ⅠVienna found itself the capital of a rather poor country of less than 7,000 thousand people. World War Ⅱ made Vienna even worse than it was before. Since 1955, however, Vienna has been fast regaining its past greatness。
