2015-2016学年吉林省长春外国语学校高二下学期期末考试英语To Mr. AlcoholYou’ve been with us for a long time. I won’t forget all the pain you’ve caused for us.Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped (洗胃). Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you. Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring（诱惑）in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.1．What is author’s purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readersB. To show how much alcohol can hurt people.C.

It made him crash into two other cars and took his life.B. It made him drink too much and he had to get his stomach pumped.C. It made him kill two other people when driving.D.

Humorous.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned(漠不关心的).D. Critical(批判的).Poetry, one of the essential art forms of literature, is a brief and easy way to express our feelings. Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way. Some find relief in poems; some read them simply for peace; some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.There are some special features of poetry, which make it quite different from other forms of literature. First of all, poems have rhythmic patterns. Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm. Poems may have rhyme, but they don't have to. The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form, there are mainly three types:Lyrics: The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story. Lyrics always bear song-like appeal. These are mainly short poems. Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy, the ode and the sonnet. William Shakespeare, Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.Narrative poems: This type of poetry tells a story. Narrative poems are usually long poems. Epics(史诗) and ballads fall under this type. Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton, Dante, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, William Shakespe are, etc.. Dramatic poems: Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem. These poems generally tell a story. Black verse, dramatic monologue(独白) and closet drama belong to this type. William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the greatest dramatic poets.Whatever the form is, one thing, which cannot be denied, is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.5．What do we know about lyrics?①They are similar to songs.②They usually tell stories.③They are not very long.④The sonnet is a type of lyrics.A. ①②③B. ②③④C. ①②④D. ①③④6．We can know from the text that .A. poems are weak in showing feelingsB. some poets write more than one type of poemC. narrative poems are shorter than lyric poemsD. the sonnet and the ballad belong to the same type7．This passage is written mainly to .A. tell us some simple facts about poetryB. teach us how to write poemsC. give some advice on reading poemsD. make us interested in poemsIf you come to Chicago, it’s hard to find an excuse to deny paying a visit to the Brookfiled Zoo. Here are more information about the zoo for reference:Opening in 1934, the Brookfield Zoo quickly received a worldwide reputation for its special displays and unique(独一无二的) exhibits.Address: 1st Avenue between Ogden Avenue and 31st Street, Brookfield, Illinois Phone: 708-688-8000Getting to the Brookfield Zoo by Public Transportation:The Metra Rail Burlington Northern line runs from Union Station downtown to the “Zoo Stop” (Hollywood Station) and from there it’s only a 2-block northeast walk to the zoo.Parking at the Brookfield Zoo:Parking fees are $9 for cars and $12 for buses.The Brookfield Zoo Hours:The Brookfield Zoo is open 365 days per year.Monday-Saturday: 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.Sunday: 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.The Brookfield Zoo Tickets:Adults(ages 12-64), $13.50;Seniors(ages 65+), $9.50;Children(ages 3-11), $9.50;Children(ages 2 and under), freeThe Brookfield Zoo Featured Exhibits:Tropic World; WolfWoods; Living Coast; Seven Seas; Fragile Kingdom; Australia House; Havitat Africa.About the Brookfield Zoo:The Brookfield Zoo is located just 14 miles west of downtown Chicago.

AA few days ago we –––that’s me and the husband–––took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20 years after I had first ridden a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights (like motorists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute.I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups,because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.21. When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?A. Not until she became a driver herself.B. Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.C. After she was shouted at by a motorist.D. After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.22. When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt ________.A. angryB. guiltyC. innocentD. proud23. Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?A. driversB. passers-byC. cyclistsD. motorists24. What can we learn about the writer?A. She often took a cab with her husband.B. She has been a motorist for over 20 years.C. She used to ride a bike without lights at night.D. She often biked the wrong way down a one-way street.BChina is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country. A new report shows a 23 percent increase in the number of Chinese students coming to the U.S.The latest edition of the annual Institute of International Education (IIE) and another US institute found a 5 percent rise in the number of international university students in the US compared to one year ago. There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.Asia accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a h andful of US institutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was the third and Canada was number four. China’s Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.Blumenthal associates the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. China’s family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrate resources on a single child.The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian studentpopulations of any college in the United States.25. Which ranked the third place sharing US higher education?A. Saudi ArabiaB. South KoreaC. CanadaD. India26. Why is the number of Chinese students going to the US increasing?A. The US colleges are better than those in China.B. Each family in China has only one child.C. China lacks enough educational resources.D. Chinese students can enter varieties of US colleges.27. Which of the following is right according to Peggy Blumenthal?A. The number of Chinese students going to the US has increased by 23%.B. The University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.C. Chinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.D. Chinese students know more about US higher education than before.28. The best title for the passage can be ________.A. Chinese College Students Rush to US SchoolsB. The Large Number of Chinese Students in the USC. Chinese Students Make Up Largely Foreign Students in the USD. Asian Middle School Students in the US UniversitiesCCooler temperatures, attractive colors, smaller crowds autumn is the perfect time for travel and tourism. Here, three places are listed as the best fall trip destinations. Don’t worry if you c an’t go to these places. By reading this page, we hope to take you on grand tour and let you experience fun and culture around the world.29. The passage is presented for those who ________.A. care for fun and culture around the worldB. have planned to go for traveling this autumnC. hate to have their holidays in other seasonsD. have not ever been to Europe and America30. If you spend your holidays on October 31, you may ________.A. enjoy live music at the beer – drinking festivalB. watch polar bears hunt sealsC. taste traditional, paper–wrapped fish and clipsD. win a prize in “the Friendly Marathon”31. According to the passage, we can know that ________.A. Car exhibitions will be held for two monthsB. It’s not necessary to take more clothes with you to Churehill, MartitobaC. The beer–drinking event in German dates from the eighteenth centuryD. Your favourite goods might be available in the expensive shop in Dublin32. The passage is probably taken from the column of ________ in a newspaper.A. economicsB. scienceC. tourismD. fashionDIsn’t it interesting how we expect others to behave in a certain way so we can feel good about ourselves? And then when people don't behave as we want them to, we feel so disappointed and angry ––– when really, most times, we’re not actually surprised at their actions? We just want those actions to be different –––actions we’d be more comfortable with.This week I shared a friend a wonderful home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine. About the time we got to the freshly-baked cookies, the conversation turned to hersomewhat crazy sister. I had to smile, just a little, since her sister-stories had had much the same theme for the last two decades.When her frustration was just about to peak over her sister’s latest unbelievably selfish act, I suggested she begin trying “The Law of Patient Acceptance.”“How can I possibly accept her behavior?”my friend asked. “Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean tolerance,” I shared. “It just means that you accept the person for who they are and you stop knocking yourself out trying to change them.”Everyone has these difficult people in their lives from time to time. “Think of it this way,” I said. “If you were to go out and buy an ottoman(搁脚凳) today, thinking you were buying a chair, you’d be really angry that the ottoman was such a pathetic(差劲的) chair. But once you realize what you’re dealing with, once you accept the ottoman for what it is and you stop trying to turn it into a chair, your anger largely goes away.”You have to accept people for who they are. Even when you’ve had high hopes that they might have been able to be someone else. “You can’t change people,”my Mother always said. And she was right. The best we can do is to see people as clearly and objectively as possible. For they rarely change.According to the second paragraph, we can know that ________.A. the writer thinks her friend should talk about her sister that wayB. the writer’s friend often complains about her sisterC. the writer advises her friend to spend more time with her sisterD. the writer doesn’t think her friend’s sister is selfishBy mentioning the example of buying an ottoman, the writer intends to explain ________.A. how “The Law of Patient Acceptance” worksB. what the meaning of “The Law of Patient Acceptance” isC. why greed and selfishness existD. when we should use “The Law of Patient Acceptance”35. According to the writer, ________.A. we should accept others for who they areB. we should try to change othersC. we shouldn’t make friends with difficult peopleD. we shouldn’t have high hopes for ourselves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。

There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.Asia accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a handful of US institutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was the third and Canada was number four. China’s Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.Blumenthal associates the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. China’s family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrate resources on a single child.The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian student populations of any college in the United States.25.

The University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.C. Chinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.D.

The passage is probably taken from the column of ________ in a newspaper.A. economicsB. scienceC. tourismD. fashionDIsn’t it interesting how we expect others to behave in a certain way so we can feel good about ourselves? And then when people don't behave as we want them to, we feel so disappointed and angry –––when really, most times, we’re not actually surprised at their actions? We just want those actions to be different –––actions we’d be more comfortable with.This week I shared a friend a wonderful home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine. About the time we got to the freshly-baked cookies, the conversation turned to her somewhat crazy sister. I had to smile, just a little, since her sister-stories had had much the same theme for the last two decades.When her frustration was just about to peak over her sister’s latest unbelievably selfish act, I suggested she begin trying “The Law of Patient Acceptance.”“How can I possibly accept her behavior?”my friend asked. “Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean tolerance,”I shared. “Itjust means that you accept the person for who they are and you stop knocking yourself out trying to change them.”Everyone has these difficult people in their lives from time to time. “Think of it this way,”I said. “If you were to go out and buy an ottoman(搁脚凳) today, thinking you were buying a chair, you’d be really angry that the ottoman was sucha pathetic(差劲的) chair. But once you realize what you’re dealing with, once you accept the ottoman for what it is and you stop trying to turn it into a chair, your anger largely goes away.”You have to accept people for who they are. Even when you’ve had high hopes that they might have been able to be someone else. “You can’t change people,”my Mother always said. And she was right. The best we can do is to see people as clearly and objectively as possible. For they rarely change.33.According to the second paragraph, we can know that ________.A. the writer thinks her friend should talk about her sister that wayB. the writer’s friend often complains about her sisterC. the writer advises her friend to spend more time with her sisterD. the writer doesn’t think her friend’s sister is selfish34.By mentioning the example of buying an ottoman, the writer intends to explain________.A. how “The Law of Patient Acceptance” worksB. what the meaning of “The Law of Patient Acceptance” isC. why greed and selfishness existD. when we should use “The Law of Patient Acceptance”35. According to the writer, ________.A. we should accept others for who they areB. we should try to change othersC. we shouldn’t make friends with difficult peopleD. we shouldn’t have high hopes for ourselves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。

吉林长春第十一高中高二下期末英语试卷（带解析）_8Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better becauseof my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insu rance for my emotional well-being.【小题1】Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.【小题2】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A．keep her appointment with the eye doctorB．meet her father who was already an old manC．join in the holiday celebration of the companyD．finish her work before the deadline approached【小题3】The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.A．abandoned B．lacked C．avoidedD．wasted【小题4】W hat is the best title for the passage?A．The Emotional Well-beingB．The Two Saddest WordsC．The Most Useful RuleD．The Peace of Mind。

AA few days ago we –––that’s me and the husband ––– took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20 years after I had first ridden a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights (like motorists once did at me): “ You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute.I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.21. When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?A. Not until she became a driver herself.B. Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.C. After she was shouted at by a motorist.D. After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.22. When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt ________.A. angryB. guiltyC. innocentD. proud23. Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?A. driversB. passers-byC. cyclistsD. motorists24. What can we learn about the writer?A. She often took a cab with her husband.B. She has been a motorist for over 20 years.C. She used to ride a bike without lights at night.D. She often biked the wrong way down a one-way street.BChina is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country.

Here, three places are listed as the best fall trip destinations. Don’t worry if you can’t go to these places. By reading this page, we hope to take you on grand tour and let you experience fun and culture around the world.Cannstatter Volkfest, Stuttgart, GermanyStuttgart’s Cannstatter Volkfest is listed as the world’s second largest beer-drinking event–––following Munich’s Oktoberfest. But it is considered Germany’s more authentic celebration of local heritage and, of course, beer.Started as an agricultural fair in 1818––– a symbolic 24-meter-high “fruit column” pays homage (敬意) to the past –––the three-week festival (from September 23 to October 9 this year) features live music, a re-created Alpine village, and carnival rides.In addition, Stuttgart is recognized as a global car capital. Both the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums are worth a visit.Churchill, Manitoba, CanadaHere in the northern Canadian town at Hudson Bay, visitors can see the area’s most famous fall residents ––– polar bears.Mo re than a thousand of the world’s largest land carnivores migrate through the “polar bear capital of the world” during October and November, when the first ice forms on the edge of Hudson Bay.The frozen conditions make it easier for hungry bears to hunt for seals (by walking instead of swimming).Under the snowy, winter weather, visitors can hardly have too many clothes to put on. Insulated boots, jackets, and gloves; layered clothing; thermal underwear; and woolen socks and hats are required.Dublin, IrelandThe Ireland’s capital and largest city is a center for arts, entertainment, culture and commerce.With few tourists and lower temperatures, fall is the ideal season for walking the historic Georgian streets and cruising the River Liffey.Visitors can explore the city’s 20 square kilometers of public gardens, nature reserves, and parks, including St. Stephen’s Green, which borders Grafton Street, one of the world’s most expensive retail locations.Along the way, enjoy traditional, paper-wrapped fish and chips at Leo Burdock. Healthier eats will be on the menu on October 31, when more than 12,000 runners are expected for the National Lottery Dublin Marathon, named “the Friendly Marathon” for the friendly crowds cheering there.29. The passage is presented for those who ________.A. care for fun and culture around the worldB. have planned to go for traveling this autumnC. hate to have their holidays in other seasonsD. have not ever been to Europe and America30. If you spend your holidays on October 31, you may ________.A. enjoy live music at the beer – drinking festivalB. watch polar bears hunt sealsC. taste traditional, paper–wrapped fish and clipsD. win a prize in “the Friendly Marathon”31.
