2017-2018学年浙江省杭州二中高二年级第一学期期末英语试题第一部分听力略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，第一节10小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分30分）第一节AA year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-＄7,000, a legacy (遗产) form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. "It really made a difference when we were going under financially." says Dave.But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Doxens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in other, it was more than ＄100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than ＄3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived own(喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it. "Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything," says their friend Sand Van Weelden, "They could see things they could do go make you happier, and they would do them."Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent-should enrich the whole community (社区) and Ish and Arlene Hatch's story. Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.16. Which of the following is true of the Hatches?A. They had their children during the Great DepressionB. They left the family farm to live in an old houseC. They gave away their possessions to their neighborsD. They helped their neighbors to find jobs17. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store?A. They decided to open a storeB. They wanted to save moneyC. They couldn't afford expensive thingsD. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids18. According to Sand Van Weelden, the Hatches were _____.A. understandingB. straightforwardC. childlikeD. curious19. What can we learn from the text?A. The community of Alto was poorB. The summer camp was attractive to the parentsC. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy form the HatchesD. The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their exampleBWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems arejust stepping stones for success.20. According to the passage, winners _____.A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their byesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others21. When problems occur, winners take them as _____.A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development22. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner's Secret.B. A Winner's Problem.C. A Winner's Opportunity.D. A Winner's Achievement.CIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to se ewhat the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been aro und for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Ma chine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large nu mber of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined byWells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to otherperiods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfath-er killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler was not born, how would he travel back in time？And would you really like to visit the future In H.G. Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 m illion years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）. If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．23.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．A．People's interest in time travelB．the special feature of the bookC．the long history of time travelD．the contribution of H.G. Wells24. Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．A．have similarities in many waysB．push the invention of the first spaceshipC．have proved wrong by some time travelersD．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine25 .In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________．A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossibleD．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness第二节One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for. ___26__Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. ___27__ Reassure (使安心)yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.“___28__ If you’re stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,”says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. ___29__ You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.___30_ Try making someone else’s day better. A report by United Health care and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers. Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.A. Want to give your attitude a lift?B. Try to enrich your social life.C. Act in an optimistic way—smile, laugh, tell a joke.D. People tend to think in an either-or way.E. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around.F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.G. You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节，完型填空About 10 years ago I taught a group of children to sail.

It is known that people in some provinces in China, such as Sichuan and Hunan, generally believe chili makes their food taste better. Some go to such an extreme that they even can not survive without spicy food. While a moderate amount of chili can make our tongues burn, our mouths wide open, and our bodies sweat, this is nothing compared with the “ghost chili”, which got its name as the world’s hottest in the Guinness World Records in 2006.“G host chili” got its name because it is supposedly so hot that it can scare away ghosts. Autumn is peak season forwhat the Los Angeles Times writer Mark Magnier described as the “innocent-looking, thumb-sized devil (魔鬼)”. Every year there are competitions in which “ghost chili”beats other members in its family and wins the world title as the hottest.So just how hot is this powerful pepper? “It creates a ribbon of fire from lips to tongue to newly upset stomach. The discomfort lasts several hours,” Magnier wrote in his report about the magic power of “ghost chili”.Thoudam Anand is an Indian government worker who grows “ghost chili” peppers in his garden. He told Magnier about the first time he ate “ghost chili”– when his friends secretly put some into his food. “Unbearable pain, panic …and teeth gnashing followed,”Anand said. An elderly neighbor suggested a local remedy (疗法): go and eat mud. He did – he ran to the nearest pond. “I would’ve swallowed anything to cool down,” he said. “And since I had no taste buds left, the mud tasted just fine.”In fact, “ghost chili” is so hot that it is often not even described as “food”. Local Indian airport authorities will confiscate (没收) souvenir “ghost chili” peppers as they are listed as potential hijacking weapons. According to AFP,researchers in the country are testing grenades, sprays and gas made from “ghost chili”to fight terrorists and help women defend themselves. “It’s all-natural,”said Lokendra Singh, director of the Defense Research and Development Organization’s lab in northeast India.50. From the passage above we can learn that the “ghostchili” ________.A. is very powerful mainly because of its small sizeB. looks quite ordinary and normal like other chiliesC. can be used to help people scare the ghosts awayD. often makes people unable to survive without it51. The example of Anand is given in paragraph4 to tell us ________.A. it’s quite fun to taste the “ghost chili”B. it’s dangerous to grow the “ghost chili”C. mud tastes better than the “ghost chili”D. the “ghost chili” tastes extremely hot52. Saying “I would’ve swallowed anything tocool down,” Anand meant ________.A. he would try anything to get betterB. he preferred chilies to anything elseC. he regretted eating the “ghost chili”D. he was not very particular about foodBBelow is some interesting news from a newspaper:Girl’s Crazy Historical CostumesStella Ehrhart, a US third-grader, dresses up as a different historical figure every day before school---yes, you heard right! The 8-year-old has been coming to class in a different persona (人物) daily since the second day of second grade, when she showed up as American author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Stella gets ideas for what to wear from the book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century. However, in the past she has also dressed up as fictional characters including Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The eager student managed to get through the entire second grade without repeating herself, but now she is running out of ideas. The girl’s parents, who are both theater professionals, say they support their daughter’s “creativity”. Her mother told UK news website The Huffington Post, “She goes into her closet and just picks out what she wants each day.”Learning SoarsHow do you get a child’s early education off the ground? A head teacher in the Georgian city of Rustavi has found aunique way of creating an exciting learning environment. He has transformed a plane into a kindergarten. Gari Chapidze bought an old but functional Yakovlev Yak-42 from Georgian Airways and filled it with education equipment, games and toys, but left the cockpit (驾驶舱) untouched so it could be used as a play area. “The idea was to create a kindergarten where children go with joy,” Chapidze, who runs the kindergarten, told AFP. “The children come in to the kindergarten with pleasure and cry when they have to go home. They are happy here,” he added.Taxi Driver Gets Lucky in Las VegasBright lights and big wins---this is what Las Vegas is known for, and even the taxi drivers here get lucky. Well, at least recently one did. Adam Woldemarim, 42, discovered $ 221,510 in the back of his van after a long day at work. The money was in a laptop case left between the seats of the Virgin Valley cab. What did Woldemarim do with the cash? He turned it in. The Ethiopian driver soon got a call from the case’s owner who, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had “won big” and was on his way to the airport when he realized he had forgotten his winnings. Woldemarim was given a $ 2,000 reward. But it was reportedthat the driver’s fellow taxi drivers thought he should have got a lot more.Eat Crickets (蟋蟀) and Worms at a MuseumThe Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia is putting on a night for meat eaters who want to try some unusual foods. It is hosting a cocktail party on Oct 27 called Cuisine from the Collections. The food on the menu is inspired by the exhibited specimen (标本) at the museum. The event is for adults only. Let’s hope they don’t get a stomach bug from all the insects!53. Stella Ehrhart gets ideas how to dress up every daybefore school from ________.A. Laura Ingalls WilderB. a bookC. Hermione GrangerD. her parents54. Which of the following is the biggest problem StellaEhrhart is facing?A. She has to get through the entire second grade dressingup as others.B. She’s finding her parents no longer offer her as muchsupport as before.C. She’s finding it hard to think of enough new figures todress up as.D. She has difficulty dressing up without falling behind instudy.55. Yakovlev Yak-42 is a certain kind of ________.A. schoolB. companyC. toyD. plane56. We can infer from the above news that ________.A. eating insects can be dangerousB. kids dislike the plane kindergartenC. Las Vegas only brings luck for the poorD. all the girls love fancy clothes and costumesCWe all remember seeing hitchhikers (搭便车旳人), standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Polandand Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank (坦克) commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat guys in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as . But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.57. The author tried to hitchhike but wasrejected by single women drivers because ________.A. they were not heading towards ManchesterB. they thought most hitchhikers were dangerousC. hitchhiking was forbidden and they didn’t want tobreak the lawD. he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemeddangerous58. From the above passage we can learn that in the UK________.A. it is certain that hitchhiking has no futureB. hitchhiking isn’t needed as much as beforeC. those who pick up hitchhikers don’t see moviesD. people don’t like traveling by coach or train59. Why does the writer say at the end of the passage thatAfghanistan might be a challenge?A. Because transportation in Afghanistan is bad.B. Because Afghanistan is too far from the UK.C. Because Afghanistan is a dangerous place.D. Because people in Afghanistan are tough.DThe glass office and apartment towers of New York City, which is a major stopover for migrating birds (候鸟) on the Atlantic flyway, can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass,” said Ms. Laurel, an architect. “It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.” An approximated 90,000 birds are killed yearly by flying into buildings in New York City. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after seeking for food in nearby parks. Some experts say such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat loss, with a national number ranging up to a billion a year.As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. The San Francisco Planning Commission adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings in July, and thismonth that city’s Board of Supervisors will vote on making it law. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few manufacturers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线) signals visible only to birds, but they are still in their experimental stage. Dot patterns, shades, screens —even nets — are the main choices available.New York City Audubon, the American Bird Conservancy and other groups are activel y pressing for their use. “I hope there will come a time when putting up an all-glass building is like wearing a fur coat,” said Glenn Phillips, chief director of New York City Audubon. “Not that no one will do it, but maybe they’ll think twice about it.” Often, only one section of a building is to be changed. “You don’t necessarily have to treat every window.” Mr. Phillips said.The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects designed refitting (整修) that included lessreflective glass and a dot pattern. Some new all-glass buildings are designed so that birds can easily detect them. Environmentalists point to Frank Gehry’s IAC headquarters in Chelsea as an example. Horizontal, dotted white bands control the flow of light, while the curved (有弧度旳) surface prevents a mirror effect.60. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city famous for the beautiful glass towers.B. Danger from glass towers for migrating birds causesconcern.C. New York has adopted some new safety standards forbuildings.D. Glass towers are being forced to take measures toprotect birds.61. What is the number one cause of death formigrating birds?A. Climate changeB. Habitat lossC. Lack of foodD. Crashinginto buildings62. What does the underlined word “fixes” inthe third paragraph probably mean?A. ChoicesB. ExplanationsC. SolutionsD.Developments63. Which of the following can be learned fromthe above passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be refittedto prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the firstbuilding to deal with bird crashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in NewYork City each year.D. The glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still intheir early stages.第II卷32分第四部分写作(共四小节，满分32分)第一节：单词拼写（每小题0.5分，满分5分）64.

AOn Feb.4,Mohammad Hasher,a17-year-old who lives in Michigan,woke up to find his 6-year-old sister,Noor,sitting on the couch wearing a fancy outfit(全套服装).It was8a.m.,and she wasn’t in her nightclothes but instead wore dress.The first-grader also looked upset.“I asked her,‘Noor,what on earth are you doing?’”Mohammad told Huffington Post.Noor told her brother that there was a big father-daughter dance at her school that night,and she wanted to go,but couldn’t.Mohammad told the newspaper that their parents got divorced in November,and their father hasn’t spoken to them since then.His absence has been really rough on the family,especially for Noor,who decided she was going to wear a dress that day anyway,even if she couldn’t go to the dance.Mohammad made an immediate decision.”I told her I’d take her,”he said.“And her face lit up!It was so cute.”later that afternoon,Mohammad took Noor shopping to make sure she looked very best that night.He bought her a new dress,socks and shoes and brought her to a salon to get hair done.That night they went to the dance and had great fun.Noor even got a box of candy when Mohammad won the title of“Best Dad”at the dance.“The night was awesome,”he said,“It filled my heart with happiness seeing her dance with so much joy and have fun with all of her friends.”Mohammad said her sister thanked him with a huge hug at the end of the night.Touched by the experience,he posted pictures of their sweet party on Twitter(推特)：“I got to take my baby sister to her first daddy-daughter dance the other night,”he tweeted.“Sorry you don’t have a dad but I’ll always be there for you.”The post soon spread widely with over104,000likes and25,000retweets.21.Why was Noor unhappy that morning?A.She did not have a dress.B.Her father didn’t speak to her.C.She couldn’t go to the dance.D.Her parents had recently divorced.22.How did the brother and sister prepare for the dance?A.They got a box of candy.B.They cleaned their shoesD.They bought a new outfit D.They posted the event on Twitter.23.Which of the following words best describe Mohammad?A.Confident and ambitious.B.Generous and open-minded.C.Smart and determined.D.Caring and considerate.China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong,5,000years ago.Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter,but tea enjoys the pride as the UK’s national drink.According to the UK Tea Council,British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of165million cups every day.With figures like these,it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain.A recent survey found that24minutes a day are lost to making,buying and drinking tea and coffee.That is,?400a year is lost in working hours per employee,or190days over a lifetime.So,should employers be worried about this lost working time,or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine(咖啡因)improves mental state:a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees.After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that.“Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,”he says.“But if they’re often drinking it and then go without,they’ll feel tired and won’t perform well.”Occupational Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in sedentary (久坐的)office life,and in building social relationships.“We need to make people more active and see other people.The tea break is one way of doing this,”says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink:“We warm our hands on them on a cold day;they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life.Whatever the caffeine’s doing,I’d say these24minutes aren’t wasted.”24.How many minutes in a week does a British people spend on tea and coffee?A.24.B.168.C.400.D.1330.25.According to Peter Rogers,what happens when regular coffee drinkers stop drinking coffee?A.Their wakefulness will be improved.B.They will stop wasting their work time.C.They will be less awake and productive.D.They perform as well as their colleagues.26.Why might tea breaks be a problem for workplaces?A.Workers might feel tired and be inactive.B.Mental performance might be held back.C.They waste time that could be spent working.D.Business have to pay more for tea and coffee.27.What’s Coopers’attitude towards tea break?A.Supportive.B.Cautious.C.Doubtful.D.Concerned.Every morning,Claire Buckley was rushing to catch the bus.She left for Barrington High School in Illinois at6a.m..She would come home very tired.Kids like Clair Buckley are suffering form lack of sleep.Less sleep causes stress.Stress is when someone is under a lot of pressure.Not sleeping is just one reason experts say more students feel nervous at school.Local schools in Illinois are trying new way to fix it,wishing kids to feel healthy and happy.Some schools are changing their calendar(日历).They are giving tests before school breaks. This way students do not have to worry about studying when they are away from school.Some places changed their after-school activities.Coaches can only organize one practice a day. Teachers now cannot give homework during certain holiday breaks.But some kids want very much to do well on tests.They think it will get them into good colleges,which causes them stress.A study showed different things stress different students out.Students were not able to see their grades online.This stress some students.Other students said seeing their grades made them more stressed.Some say parents are causing stress.They try to make their kids do not fail.They want their kids to not be disappointed.Children need to fail,says Dr.Carol Weitzman,a doctor for children.When kids learn to fail,they learn to get back on their feet.This is an important skills for life,she says.Various ways are adopted to reduce stress.Students at John Hersey High School drop by Dr. Brigette Muck’s office looking for stress relief.She has aromatherapy(芳香疗法)products.The smells make you fell relaxed.She also has stress balls and coloring books to help work out nervous feelings.Other schools use mentorship(导师制)program,sports and yoga classes to help students feel better.28.Why does Claire Buckley feel exhausted from school every day?A.She rushes to catch the early bus.B.She has to face academic pressure.C.She doesn’t have enough sleep.D.She can’t adapt to the new calendar.29.It can be learned from the text that___________.A.Bad habits lead to students’pressureB.Homework is not allowed in IllinoisC.Online grades make parents sleeplessD.Exercise can relieve students’stress30.What’s the main idea of the text?A.Schools are taking actions to ease students’stress.ck of sleep is the main reason for students’stress.C.Parents are putting their kids under a lot of pressure.D.learning to fail is a very important skill for students.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。

浙江省杭州二中2013-2014学年高二上学期期末英语试卷选择题部分一、单项填空（本题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

1. There was _______ time _______ the sky was blue and the air was clean.A. / ; thatB. a; whenC. the; thatD. the; when【考点】考察冠词和定语从句【答案】B【解析】本题第一空后面的名词time在本句中是一个可数名词“时期，时代”，本句表示曾经有这样的一个时期，故使用 a time表示泛指；第二空考察的是定语从句，因为定语从句的句子成分很完整，而且定语从句的先行词是 a time，是一个表示时间的名词，所以使用when 引导起这个定语从句。

句义：成绩有一段时期，太空是湛蓝的，空气很清新。

故B正确。

【试题延伸】解答定语从句的关键是分析句子成分，如果定语从句中句子成分很完整就使用关系副词来引导；如果句子缺少主语，宾语，表语或者定语的时候就使用关系代词。

同时也要注意一些关系词的特殊用法，尤其是that/as的特殊用法，既要注意普遍性，也要注意特殊性。

【举一反三】Because of the financial crisis, days are gone _ _ local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.A. ifB. whenC. whichD. since〖答案〗B〖考点〗考查定语从句中的非限制性定语从句。

〖解析〗由于金融危机, 当地五星级酒店一晚收费6000元的日子不复存在了。

when引导的从句做days的定语。

2. I’m afraid I’m _______ your opinion of quitting all physical exercise for thecoming exam.A. againstB. onC. forD.
