Not only is the amount of water taken fro m the river rising, but the waste being put back into the river h as also been increasing. Consequently, many fish and wildlife are endangered. Additionally, the drinking water, which hundr eds of millions of people rely on the river for, is unsafe now. T herefore, the balance of the ecology has been badly broken. The main reason for the present situation of the Yangtze Rive r is mainly because of the rapid growth of the population contr ibuting to the rapid development of agriculture and industry. In order to focus on water conservation and survival of the wil dlife, effective laws are needed and more measures should b e taken forcefully to prohibit factories and cities along the river from sending out waste and sewage into the river, and only w hen every one of us takes action, will we be able to win the ba ttle against the pollution.

2018-2019学年度高二英语上学期期中考试试卷分析文昌市田家炳中学吴花颜一、试卷评价及有关数据1.内容：必修52．得分情况：（总分15０分）最高分高二3班的何海川102.5分，云子祺91分，高二1班李林健76分，整体情况有所进步。

3.试卷的总体评价:本次命题在考察学生英语基础知识的前提下，注重了对学生语言综合能力和知识迁移的考察,注重语言环境及文化背景的设置，减少了词汇、语法等单纯知识性的试题，增加了试题的灵活性、开放性、探究性及综合性。

试题以读、写的形式，全面地检查了学生应掌握的英语基础知识和基本能力。

不足之处:作文属于半开放作文，学生练得比较少。

写起来感到无所适从。

二、各大题答题情况分析1.听力测试（30分）本试卷听力题目的设计在难度上对高二学生而言还行。

因为我们一直在坚持听力训练，所以这部分的得分还不错。

不过，个别题目也反映出学生的变通能力不是很强。

学生听力训练还有待进一步加强。

并且这部分也反映出学生不认真的一大弊病。

如每个班都有几名同学选D,而听力的答案只有A、B、Ｃ。

2.单项选择题，是考查学生的语法基础知识题，此次命题，考察了学生词的辨析、语法、习语等语言知识，以及在特定的语境中运用语言知识进行交际的能力。

此题知识覆盖面较广,重难点比较突出，注重了语言能力考察,以考察动词为主,兼顾其它词类,并考察句法,考察方式突出了语境。

学生在12、15、16、19、这4个小题失分较多，反映出学生对基础知识的把握有所欠缺。

考查学生对非谓语动词的掌握，教师在课堂中多次重点讲解过，学生还是没能很好地掌握。

以后在语法的教学过程中要加强。

3.完型填空题，主要考察学生对文章的整体理解及上下文的推理能力，牵涉到语感、语法及单词,以及对语言知识的综合运用能力,对学生提出了更高的要求。

学生答这道题时,不仅要读懂整个语段,而且要选对所给的词,并对上下文进行融会贯通,学生在答此题时顾此失彼,失分较多,此题是整份试题难点之一。

2018-2019学年度第一学期期中考试第一部分：听力（见第 11页）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题 2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳。

AFive of the most beautiful villagesSidi Bou Said in TunisiaThis village seems to disappear into the sky. All the houses ar e painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of c afes and art galleries.Wengen in SwitzerlandDo you ever wonder how the world was before cars were inve nted? The village called Wengen might just help you realize y our dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close t o 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in JapanThis village is certainly known for its unusual houses with trian gular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It' s designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. The se houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore.Eze in FranceFrance in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nic e. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse.Bibury in EnglandLocated on the River Coln in the West of England, Bibury was described as "the most beautiful village in England”. Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St.Mary and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees. The most photographed spot is Arlington Row, which isa collection of 14th-century stone buildings.21.Where can visitors enjoy paintings?A.In Sidi Bou Said.B.In Shirakawa-go.C.In Wengen.D.In Eze.22. What's the similarity between Wengen and Bibury?A. They both sit by a long river.B. They both have an ancient view.C. They are home to many inventions.D. They are located in the same country.23. What do we know about Eze?A. Its people look sad.B. It forbids cars to enter.C. Its architecture is modern.D. It was attacked in the past.BIt is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to explain about his efforts to give his students a better fut ure.Mr Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher a t a New Hampshire high school where learning is not about b ooks and tests and rote memorization(死记硬背),but something practical. As Koziatek knows, there is learni ng in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a desk. They can also le arn geometry by putting together a bicycle.But he's also found a kind of prejudice. Working with your han ds is seen as almost a mark of inferiority(低等).Schools in the family of vocational(职业的) education “have that opinion...that it's for kids who can't m ake it academically,” he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing(制造业)is not the economic engine that it once was. The job securi ty that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely disappeared. More education is the new way. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all—and the devaluing of anything less—misses an important point: That's not the only thing the Ameri can economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more d oors.But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle -skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing, according to the National Skills Coalition. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained. There i s a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren't e quipped to do them. Koziatek's Manchester School of Technol ogy (High School) is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.24. What's the characteristic of Mr. Koziatek’s school?A. Paying attention to practical learning.B. Letting students do many tests.C. Encouraging students to read books.D. Forcing students to learn by rote.25. What does the underlined phrase "that viewpoint” in Parag raph 4 refer to?A. Vocational education is for academically challenged studen ts.B. Vocational education is undoubtedly a good choice.C. Not all students can be admitted to college.D. Not all students can do physical work.26. How are people reacting to the disappearance of manufac turing?A. They lower their expectations.B. They try to improve their skills.C. They turn to the government.D. They continue their education.27. What does the author think of the school's goal?A. It needs lots of effort.B. It is worth achieving.C. It is unpractical.D. It is adventurous.CWhen I was eleven, my parents gave me the first book I ever owned—“The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe”. I distinctly remember opening it, reading the first lines of "The Cask of Amontillado,” and re marking to myself, "So this is what reading is!”My delight was unbounded. Little did I know at the time that I was at the begin ning of a lifelong journey.So, if I read my first real book at the advanced age of 11, wha t was I reading before then? In a word, readers: relatively plotl ess, repetitive if well-intentioned attempts to teach children to recognize letters and their sounds and to build their vocabularies. Being a dutiful b oy, I went through the motions and I learned what words were. But I had no idea what writing was. Until Poe. In Poe's storie s, the sentences were more complex and stylish than anythin g I had ever read before.Poe, in short, was a start. My parents gave me that first book, but then I went off on my own. I liked science, which led me to discover Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Other writers followed quickly one after another: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke. But I didn't limit myself to science fiction. Other title s that deeply impressed me early on, and which I have carried on my life's journey, include: “The Yearling," “Shane”“Ivanho e," “Of Mice and Men," "To Kill a Mocking bird," and “The Goo d Earth”.It went on from there. I became that kid who, long after his par ents told him to turn the lights off, hid under the covers with a flashlight and a book, his greatest fear of being discovered an d having his flashlight taken away. I realize that my parents m ust have known I was defying (违背) them. But in their wisdom they pretended to be ignorant of it. And so I owe my start as a reader to my parents.28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The author's good memories.B. The author's childhood before 11.C. The author's parents' reading habits.D. The author's affection for his first book.29. What was the influence of plotless reading on the author? He didn't accumulate enough vocabularies.B. He didn't know what real writing was.C. He couldn't read complex sentences.D. He couldn't write a good article.30. What is the attitude of the author's parents to his reading under the covers?Indifferent.B. Tolerant.C. Anxious.D. Objective.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How I wrote a good bookB. How I found my favorite booksC. How I learned from my parentsD. How I became a reader of booksDAt one recently-opened restaurant in Japan, diners are warned that they very well might not get what they ordered—but surprisingly, it seems few customers are complaining. That's because waiters at the restaurant, which is called“The Restaurant of Order Mistakes, all have dementia and Alzheim er's(痴呆和阿尔茨海默症). The founders of the unique dining spot hope that eating t here will help change opinions about dementia and teach cust omers to be more patient with those who suffer from it. Yahoo!

On the one hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when we finally clean up our act.If the evidence for how wrong the first idea is isn't apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage?To a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have accumulated a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with bad habits decide to turn their lives around. The heartening conclusion: the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great.The effects of some bad habits--smoking, in particular--can haunt you for decades. But the damage from other habits can be largely healed. “Any time you improve your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference from that point on”, says Dr. Jeffrey Koplan. “Maybe not right away. It's like slamming on the brakes. You do need a certain distance”.But the distance can be remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research:--A study concluded that women who consume as little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that of women who eat less than one serving of fish a month.--The day you quit smoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying from a heart attack starts to decline。
