内蒙古集宁一中（西校区）2019-2020学年高二下学期期末考试本试卷满分为120分，考试时间为100分钟第I卷（选择题共70分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A B C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。

（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking forthe same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!1. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. honestyB. understandingC. reliabilityD. a sense of humor2. If you have fair weather friends, ______.A. you will become richB. you can be sure that you get real friendsC. you will be refused when you get into troubleD. they will give you all that they have when you need help3. Good friends need to ______.A. understand each other's feelingsB. be helped with moneyC. always point out each other's mistakesD. have money or luck4. This passage mainly discuss ______.A. the importance of having a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the qualities of a friend【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D【1题详解】细节理解题。

集宁一中2018-2019学年度第一学期期末考试高二年级英语试题试卷分I卷（选择题）和П卷（非选择题）俩部分，满分120分。

第I 卷第一节阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）AToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; beunderstanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing then you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.1. Some friendships don’t last long because __________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship backC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious2. According to the passage, honesty is __________.A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else3. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friend the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.4. The best title of this passage is __________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How to Be a FriendD. Three Important Points in LifeBSome people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.The first step is to feel confident about learning English. If you believe that you can learn，you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes.The second step is to practice your English. For example，write a journal every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. Besides, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes，but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After eachclass, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly？Did you understand something the teacher explained？Perhaps the lesson was difficult，but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements in your journal.You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will have more confidence in yourself.5. According to the author, what is important to learn English?A. To practice English every day and make a record of your achievements.B. To make a record of your mistakes.C. To buy a dictionary.D. To read English every day.6.

Some people learn a second language easily while other people do not.C. There are ways to help you learn a second language more easily.D. Don’t worry about making mistakes when learning a second language.CWhen I was young, I thought that boys and grown men shouldn’t cry. The tears were signs of being weak. A man isn’t supposed to be like that. This was even strengthened in my young mind with the popular song, Boys Don’t Cry , in the early 1980s.But just last June, I discovered that courage wasn’t all about trying to keep all the pain inside. Courage wasn’t all about trying to hide the tears. It was the opposite — the tears reinforced (加强) the heart’s courage. And I saw this in my father.My 18-year-old sister eloped（私奔）and with it, I saw how vulnerable (脆弱的) my father’s heart was. We were used to seeing him as a strong figure and an iron-willed father. For three days after my sister eloped, he wouldn’t talk. He would just sit quietly outside our house in the dark. On the fourth night, I sat beside him and asked him to tell me what he felt about everything.It has been years since I have laid my hand on my father’s shoulder as we have drifted farther while I am growing up. That night, I sensed my father trying to control his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We all cried over what had happened except him.The simple touch and my words “Dad, it’s not your fault”broke my father’s dam. In the darkness, he began to cry. I felt his shoulders shaking as he whispered, “Where did I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for my children to grow up right. Why couldn’t your sister wait? How can she go away with such a boy?”I understood then why he preferred to be in the dark. By being there, he hoped to spare his family’s feelings. His tears, though we didn’t see them before that night, were there all the same.I saw his courage that night when my father cried with my hand on his shoulder, and understood his pain.9. We can know from the first paragraph that ______.A. the author often cried when he was youngB. the tears are not the signs of being weakC. Boys Don’t Cry was popular in the early 1980sD. men are supposed to keep their secrets10. According to the author, people with courage ______.A. should try to keep all the pain insideB. should do what they can to show they are braveC. shouldn’t hide the tears if they want to cryD. shouldn’t be so strict with their children11. The author’s father didn’t cry at first because ______.A. he should set an example to people aroundB. he was very disappointed with his daughterC. he had been trying to control his great painD. he felt sorry for what he had done before12. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Boys don’t cry.B. My great father.C. Never lose heart.D. The day father cried.DAn earthquake is a trembling or shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy stored in the rocks below the surface. Generally, earthquakes last only seconds. Strong earthquakes during medium to large ones usually last about 10 to 30 seconds. After-shocks (余震) can occur once in a while for weeks or even months. Many people think that there is an "earthquake season" or a kind of "earthquake weather". In fact, there isn’t. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any time of the day or night. Earthquakes occur under all weather conditions —sunny, wet, hot, or cold —without any special weather tendency (倾向).Also, you don’t need to worry about that the ground will open up and swallow people when earthquakes occur. Open ground cracks may form during an earthquake related to land sliding or ground falling; however, such cracks tend to be open gaps (间隙) (they don’t "swallow") that a person couldstand in afterwards.The safest place in an earthquake is in an open field, where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes do not injure or kill people, but buildings and falling objects do. If you are indoors, when you feel the ground start to shake, take cover immediately under a table or strong piece of furniture, placing something between falling objects and yourself. Do not try to use the lifts or an elevator to get out of the building.13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. What usually injures people during an earthquake are falling buildings.B. After a big earthquake, there are no more quakes.C. Cracks in an earthquake are very dangerous.D. All earthquakes usually last 10 to 30 seconds.14. During an earthquake, which of the following things should you NOT do?A. Find an open field and stay there.B. Take an elevator.C. Take cover under a table.D. Stay away from buildings.15. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. tell people what an earthquake isB. argue if there really is "earthquake weather"C. tell us about the earthquake and what to do when it happensD. give us some suggestions on what to do during an earthquake第二节（共5小题；每题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。

I was working in front of my computer when it hit the city. The quake started with a sudden loud noise.I thought that something heavy in a neighbor's house probably had fallen. However. the walls and the floor began to shake. I finally realized it was an earthquake.My son Zac, a sixteen-year-old boy, was sleeping with his door locked. Being sixteen, he can sleep through any kind of noise“Zac!”I shouted．“Are you OK?!”But nobody replied. I was a little worried. I couldn't imagine that someone was able to get such a deep sleep. The house was dancing. There were waves in the swimming pool. I was afraid the house would come down. "Zac! "I yelled, knocking on his door with an open palm（手掌）．“Zac! Wake up! It's an earthquake! We need to get out !”My son finally emerged in his underpants. We looked around the room. I knew thatwe should hide under a table to stop things from falling on us and stay away from glass. Unfortunately, none of our furniture was designed for hiding under. “Should we go into the garden?”Zac asked. " No,trees could fall on us! "I said. Actually, Zac had done earthquake drills（训练） at school．He must have been told to hide under a desk and cover his head. But we had nothing to cover our heads in the house.Luckily, before we took any action, the windows stopped moving and the pool calmed down. Everything went back to normal soon. But both my son and I knew what we should do, because we knew if there had been a really big earthquake this morning, we couldn't have escaped from it.24.

The author and her son most probably realized they should_________.A. replace their furnitureB. build a stronger houseC. receive earthquake drillsD. watch the weather report oftenCBats often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires（吸血鬼), seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States.The disease is called white－ nose syndrome（白鼻综合症）.It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007. Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.In Washington D. C, researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area’s nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies. Marco Carvello is with the Washington D. C. Government's Department of Energy and Environment. "Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some way can't be found. "he said.One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting sick. This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely.Experts advise people to keep away from bats incase they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.28.According to Paragraph 1, people tend to think bats_______________.A.should be protectedB.can help spread seedsC.do harm to human beingsD.may damage the environment29. What can we learn about white-nose syndrome in Paragraph 2?A. Many bats have died of it in AmericaB. It is spreading fast in the worldC. Nobody knows how bats get it.D. It is threatening many animals30. Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?A. The disease has led to people 's strange behaviorB. The disease may cause the disappearance of batsC. The government should control the spread of the diseaseD. The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans 'life3 l. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?A. A bat species is decreasing in numberB. We have found ways to protect batsC. A disease causes many deaths of batsD. We should have a high opinion of batsDA university says that they have brought out a medical invention that can help people with disabilities stand up and walk. Researchers at Switzerland’s Technical University have made TWIICE, a robotic device that can help a person with paraplegia (截瘫) of the legs to walk. It is called TWIICE because it gives those people a second chance.The researchers say this device could help nearly 800,000 people in India who cannot move the lower half of their body.“It really has enough strength to walk even if the person themselves does not have the strength to walk. And it can even be used to climb the stairs.The device is used for helping people who are fully paraplegic, people who have spinal cord （脊髓）Injury， or people who really cannot even move or feel their legs, "said Roman Baud, a PHD Student at EPFL, Switzerland's Technical University.Developers at the university say TWIICE is the first smart device to help physical activity in the world that can recognize the loss of balance and can preventa person from falling. "We’re aiming to make every single patient have their own tailored TWIICE, " said Tristan Vouga. Who is in charge of the development of TWIICE. In India, the device for a full paraplegic comes at a cost of nearly 70 lakhs of rupees. The price is expected to go down further through mass（大规模的）production.Dr Mohamed Bouri, Principal Investigator of the device said, "Maybe, in one year, this project will be taken in charge by a start-up which will provide TWIICE, and we will probably introduce it to the market. This device is good not only for people with paraplegia, but also for people with other disabilities. I hope more and more people with paraplegia can use the device and live a happier life.32. According to the passage, TWIICE was invented to_________________.A. help the disabled to walkB. help legless people to stand upC. help paraplegic people to gain confidenceD. help patients with spinal cord injury to reduce pain33. What can we learn about TWIICE from Paragraph 2?A. It is quite popular in IndiaB. It is still in experimental stagesC. It is the first smart device to help physical activity.D. It is pretty useful for people with paraplegia34. What will the developers do next most probably?A. Find companies to produce large numbers of TWIICEB. Test a person's falling times while using TWIICEC. Make TWIICE suitable for every single patient needing it.D. Make TWIICE widely accepted among hospitals35. What is Dr Mohamed Bouri 's attitude toward the future of TWIICE?A. InterestedB. DoubtfulC. WorriedD. Confident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。

She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Versed. “This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”The first half of Versed focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Le rer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.Versed, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.4.Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?A. She published a poetry textbook.B. She used to teach Denise Levertov.C.

Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she __________.A. deserves the prizeB. should write moreC. has a sweet voiceD. is a strange professor7. What can we learn about Versed?A. It consists of three parts.B. It is mainly about the American army.C. It is a book published two decades ago.D. It partly concerns the poet’s own life.CFor those of us who have ever been to Ocean Park, the best part was probably seeing the beautiful and friendly dolphins. And the luckier people among us may have even had the chance to swim with these amazing creatures. At the same time, however, we can’t help but think that t hese animals would be happier in the wild, rather than be forced to perform for humans in captivity (圈养).According to a recent study though, we needn’t think like that. The study, which was published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science, was led by scientist.As the first of its kind, the study’s aim was to look at captivity from the animals’ point of view, according to BBC News. Over the course of three years, Clegg and her team put together a series of experiments to figure out how captive dolphins felt about their lives. “We wanted to find out what activities in captivity they like most,” she told BBC News.There were three kinds of experiment: one in which the dolphins were let alone, one in which toys were added to their pool, and one in which a human played with the dolphins.It was found that of the three types of experiment, the dolphins seemed to enjoy playing with humans the most. “Their leaping from the water during training and their curious approaches to the edge of the pool appeared t o be enthusiastic,” wrote BBC News science correspondent Victoria Gill. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild.According to wildlife and nature platform One Green Planet, being raised in captivit y could actually be harmful to dolphins. “By being born into captivity, they will never learn the skills necessary to survive in the wild. This means that any animal that is born in captivity can never be sent back into the wild,” it wrote on its website.But while this may be true, at least it seems that captive dolphins still enjoy happy moments with humans.8．In what way is Clegg and her team’s research special?A. The research lasted for over three years.B. Live dolphins were studied in this research.C. Scientists tried to view things from dolphins’ perspective.D.

Childhood may certainly be fairly happy, but its greatest moments can’t compare with the joy of being an adult. Who ever asked a six-year-old for opinion? Children don’t have opinions, or if they do, nobody notices. Adults choose the clothes their children will wear, the books they will read and the friends they will play with. Mother and father are kind but complete dictators (独裁者). This is an adult world.You must have heard these words about how happy it is to be a child. But which adult would honestly change places with a child? Every movement you make, every thought you think is observed by some adults. Remember how gentle pressure was given to you with words like “if you don’t do as I say, I will...” I’m sure you will never forget!Ev en so, these are only part of child’s trouble. No matter how kind and loving parents may be, children often suffer from terrible and illogical fears since they can’t understand the world around them. They often have such fear in the dark orin the dreams. Adults can share their fears with other adults while children have to face their fears alone.But the most painful part of childhood is a period when you begin to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence. Teenagers start to be against their parents and this causes them unhappiness. There is a complete lack of self-confidence during this time. Adolescents pay much attention to their appearance and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. Feelings are intense and hearts easily broken. Teenagers experience moments of great happiness or black despair. And through this period, adults seem to be unkind than ever.What a happy time it is to grow up. Suddenly you get your balance; the world opens up before you. You are free to choose; you have your own place to live in and your own money to spend. You do not have to ask approval for everything you do. You are no longer laughed at or punished by heartless adults around you. And if sometimes you are laughed at, you know how to deal with it. You can simply tell other adults to go to hell: you are one yourself.12.Based on the passage, the reason why childhood is not the happiest time is that ________.A. kids can’t get enough love from their parentsB. kids are not happy at schoolC. parents are often too strict with their kidsD. kids don’t have enough freedom13. Why do children often suffer from fears?A. The fears are terrible and illogical.B. They can’t figure out the surrounding world.C. They can’t share their fears with adu lts.D. They simply can’t help feeling frightened.14．Which evidence CANNOT prove the fact that adolescents lack confidence?A. They start being against their parents.B. They care about what others judge them.C. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy.D. They are more sensitive than ever.15．What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To further support the author’s argument.B. To encourage teenagers to quicken their pace to grow up.C. To offer some hope to teenagers.D. To set teenagers a target.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。

In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.However, par ents often try to choose their children's friends for them.

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets. Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the ho rror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.1. Who does “I” refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl.2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D.
