AHe is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is Japan’s Walt Disney.Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced hisretirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.Good and evil (邪恶)Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he createstend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good andevil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.ChildrenThe heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.Sky and waterTwo of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flyingof some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes theunexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.PeaceMiyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyaza ki’s films?A. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.C. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.2. According to the artic le, children in Miyazaki’s films are ______.A. all little teen-aged girlsB. always able to see spiritsC. curious trouble makersD. kind to people and creatures3. Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.A. the relation between sky and waterB. his hate for gravity since his childhoodC. his desire to be free from gravityD. his love for water that can flood the world4. In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.A. the appealing castle in the skyB. children with the problems of growing upC. objects magically floating on the waterD. a world left in ruins in the end【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D【解析】本文前两段主要介绍Miyazaki和退休的消息;后面几段主要介绍了他电影中常用到的一些主题。
2017---2018学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the man y colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeto n, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only you ng men went to college. All the students studied the same sub jects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could te ach everything that was known about the world. When the stu dents graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers. In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men w ho wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive th eir training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin an d Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American histor y.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges bega n to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choo se the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and unive rsities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that o ne kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early y ears, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______ .A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and Ge rmanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断)with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a st ory and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my han d right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I ha d to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all bec ame clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. H e lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading syste m of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to t he blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like th e “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen star ted to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I eve r give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were th ese words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading inclass because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take thetask home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from scho ol6.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the sa me. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we r an remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We part ed here; My parents met here; I won three championships her e.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrou nding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first be droom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel t all and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room i n the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden d resser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists i n my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles . It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, a nd I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, an d my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, beca use I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm ho me.8. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"( Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.9. What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los An geles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining r oom.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first ph ysical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in NewJersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to h is belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mothe r would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it w as so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the mil k wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to tim e taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and t elling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big co mpanies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale eve rywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a deli very service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I s tart telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who bro ught us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.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,选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D. Being teased by surrounding people.5. What did the author and the old woman have in common?A. They had the same appearance.B. Their ancestors came from Poland.C.

Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

You’re not ready for what’s about to happen.Shortly before midnight, you’ll open the door to an emergency doctor grasping your elder son’s blood test results. She’ll tell you to get him to hospital immediately.In a few days you’ll get the cancer di agnosis(诊断)–and it’ll dawn on you how lucky youare that this determined and kindly doctor pursued you so late on New Year’s Eve. Your lovely six-year-old’s life was on the line.The next few weeks will bring the horrors of force-feeding medication to a boy in hospital, who is maddened with steroids(固类醇)and has lost his hair, his home life and his school life. Yet, unbelievably, you will all survive.All the people who showed up for you during your last crisis, when your younger son was catastrophically unwell, will show up again. Granny, aunties, uncles and friends will create huge waves of kindness and care. It matters hugely to your two little boys: they will be made emotionally much safer by all this.Later, as you emerge from the most difficult bit, more friends will show up –neighbors, colleagues, strangers and nurses. They’ll all have their own original ways to help a boy stuck at home, and his anxious parents.Now, five years later, much of the edge has come off. Elder son is OK. All is so much better than you could have hoped. His return to school did not go so well. H e’s lost some of his tenacity (坚韧), and sometimes seems at sea. But at every parents’ evening they’ll tell you he’s kind and fair. He’s never accused of mean or cruel behavior. He seems emotionally intact.

The website is a platform for sharing English versions of Chinese kung fu and fantasy online novels translated by Chinese martial arts lovers. With a black Chinese dragon blazing across the top of its homepage, now has seven completed translations of Chinese fantasy and martial arts web fiction.Thirty-year-old Lai Jingping, whose online usernames is RWX, the original founder of the website, is a faithful reader of Chinese martial arts novels. As he immigrated with his parents to the US from Chengdu in Sichuan province when he was three, RWX only speaks a little Chinese at home and knew little of Chinese characters. The Chinese he first learned is Sichuan dialect that sounds a bit different from Mandarin(普通话).The 1995 TV series, Return of the Condor Heroes (神雕侠侣), based on Louis Cha’s novel, aroused RWX’s curiosity about Chinese. And in 2004, he began to study Chinese at the University of California, Berkeley.RWX first tried to translate Louis Cha’s works by himself, for English versions of Chinese kung fu novels were rare and very expensive in the US. In 2014, one of his friends from Vietnam introduced him to Chinese fantasy and martial arts web fiction.“It was difficult to buy Chines e contemporary novels in America. And traditional Chinese culture is too complex for American people to understand. However, online fantasy web novels about Chinese kung fu are easier to understand. Our website is more like a translation platform. Western readers are more interested in Chinese online novels about history, fantasy, kung fu and time-travel rather than romances.” RWX said.At first, their team would get authorization from online writers before translating a work, and later found literature websites owned the authorization rather the creators. recently launched a cooperative agreement with , the first Chinese internet literature website.Now there are about 20 active Chinese-to-English translation groups consisting of ethnicChinese and Chinese learners from around the world.29.

The development of Chinese fantasy and martial arts web fictionDFuturistic Transport System Moves Closer to Reality In the United States, a company is working on a project that could change the way we think about public transportation. Its planned system would move people around in steel tubes. Those passengers would be travelling at speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour. The futuristic steel tube transportation system is called Hyperloop. Workers plan to test the system next year in a specially built community called Quay Valley. The town will be powered entirely by energy from the sun.The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk. Dirk Ahlborn is head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. He says his company has taken Mr. Musk’s idea and is developing a system that will be safe, environmentally friendly and fast. It’s 100 percent solarpowered and its speed can break the records existing right now. This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada, could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop.The system involves a series of capsules that float inside a long tube. The containers would not need to travel along a pathway or track. The system has been designed to operate above or below ground. “Inside the tube you create a low pressure environment very similar to an airplane that’s at high altitudes. So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn’t encounter as much resistance, and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy.” said Dirk Ahlborn.Dick Ahlborn and his company will use an eight-kilometer track in Quay Valley to find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules. A larger system will cost an estimated six to 10 billion dollars to build. If Mr. Ahlborn and his company succeed, we may one day see these very fast Hyperloop capsules speeding through tubes around the world.33. What can we learn about Hyperloop from the text?A. It has already been put into use.B. It will be tested on tracks in Quay Valley.C. Dirk Ahlborn came up with the idea of the system.D. Safety, environmental protection and speed are its design standards.34. If a visitor travels from Los Angeles to Las Vegas by Hyperloop, it will save _______ of his travelling time than by car.A. four hoursB. half an hourC. three fourthsD. seven eighths35. What kind of knowledge is involved when designing the system according to what Dirk Ahlborn said?A. ChemistryB. PhysicsC. BiologyD. Ecology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。
