得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语上学期开学考试试题满分：120分时间：120分钟一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIf feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War? She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?”she bemoans all the time. Her co worker’s son received a f our year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co worker’s son.I can’t be like him.I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’sstudies. B. The writer’s future job.C. Dinnerplans.D. Wars around the world.2. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother________.A. doesn’t want the writer to major in EnglishB. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctorC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea3. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”．A.agreesB. shoutsC.complainsD. smiles4. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s coworker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s coworker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.BREADY or not, the college application season has begun. There are two main kinds of early admissions programs: Early Action and Early Decision. Early Action is a great choice for the well-prepared student. Students apply early, and are allowed to apply under an Early Action program to as many colleges as they choose. The biggest advantage for students is that colleges let them know early –in most cases, before Jan 1. Roughly 15 percent of colleges and universities offer an Early Action option(选择). Oct 15 is now the first deadline for many colleges and universities. This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way. North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia all have an Oct 15 Early Action deadline.who are accepted must take back their other applications and should attend that school. Students are allowed to apply to just one school under an Early Decision program. Early Decision deadlines are in early November, with colleges letting students know by mid-December. Many students believe that they are more likely to be accepted if they apply for Early Decision, but it actually depends.In some cases there is big increase in students being accepted, and at other colleges it is not that big at all. Generally, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early DecisionChoose the best answer:5. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?A. To explain the process of applying to study in the US.B. To describe two types of US college early admissions programs.C. To encourage students who want to study in the US to apply early.D. To list the advantages of early admissions programs.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE of Early Action according to the article?A. A student who is accepted as an Early Action applicant must attend the college they apply to.B. The deadline for Early Action is usually two months earlier than the one for Early Decision.C. Students can apply to several colleges at the same time under an Early Action program.D. Students can apply for Early Action at the majority of universities and colleges in the US.7. The underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 3 probably means_______.A. arrangedB. balancedC. acceptedD. changed8. What can be concluded from the article?A. Students are not allowed to apply for both Early Decision and Early Action at the same time.B. Students applying for Early Decision impress colleges because they tend to be more active than others.C. Early Decision is most fit for students who are skilled in some field.D. Those applying for Early Decision have a better chance of being accepted than those applying for Early Action.C MONTREAL(Reuters)—Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost an American $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Albert often crosses the border like the other half-dozen people of Township 15. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 Americans in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs(海关) stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces thepeople to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.9. We learn from the text that Richard Albertis .A. an American working in a Canadian churchB. a Canadian living in a Quebec villageC. a Canadian working in a customs stationD. an American living in Township 1510. Albert was fined because he .A. broke the American security rulesB. failed to obey traffic rulesC. worked in St. Pamphile without a passD. damaged the gate of the customs office11.What would be the best title for the text?A. A Cross-country TripB. An Expensive Church VisitC. An Unguarded BorderD. A Special Border Pass D Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese, manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, wi th 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping---big-box retailers(零售商)especially---in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive(广泛的) the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.12. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in _________.A. its big sizeB. its business-to-business serviceC. its not charging small sellersD. its low price13. We know from the passage that Alibaba___________.A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sitesB .Alibaba will continue to developC. Alibaba stands out as the best online siteD. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author’s Chin ese teacher is also an online purchase lover.B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.C. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail now.D. provides more profit than Taobao.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Shopping online is TaoBao.B. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.C. Alibaba greatly influences people’s daily purchase in China.D. How the author purchases online in China.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Time is the most valuable thing that mankind has. 16 . Many peopletry to manage their time.

That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsyl vania Railway Station.After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging pas sengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.4. What can be inferred about the baggage boys?A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.C. They were all from poor families.D. They were all thin, young boys.5. What does the father's advice imply（暗示）?A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers.D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.6. The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______.A. it is a totally shared experienceB. it is considered as the most dangerousC. it does great harm to human relationshipD. it may lead to the loss of his sports team7. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take upB. working in the sports team was his most important experienceC. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team membersD. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later lifeCGreat white sharks! Just hearing that name makes many people’s hair stand on end. In reality, these big fish have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years, people killed countless great white sharks in the waters around the United States.But thanks to conservation (保护) efforts, great whites are making a comeback in the U.S. Two recent studies show that the population of these sharks is rising along the east and west coast.Why is the growing population of a killer fish something to celebrate? “When you fish too many of them, you start to lose balance in the environment,” says sh ark researcher Tobey Curtis. As the biggest killer, sharks help keep the populations of fish, seals, and other creatures they eat from growing too large.In spite of their importance, great white sharks had long been hunted for theirmeat and their fins (鳍). Then, in 1997, the U.S. government passed a law that didn’t allow the hunting of great whites. Afterwards, the numbers of these sharks in the U.S. waters started to increase.The law wasn’t the only thing that has helped great whites. Conservationists h ave also played a part in the sharks’ comeback. The research group OCEARCH is using a method called tagging (加标签) to help change people’s attitudes about great white s. They let the public follow each shark as it travels the world’s oceans. OCEARCH also gives each tagged shark a name to help people form a closer connection with the big fish.The group’s most well-known shark is named Katharine. She was tagged last year near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since then, thousands of people have tracked（追踪）Katharine’s movements on Twitter and the OCEARCH website.This helps people see sharks in a new way. Chris Fischer, the founder of OCEARCH believes learning to appreciate great whites will encourage people to do more to protect them.8．The underlined part “makes many people’s hair stand on end” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by______.A. worries many peopleB. bores many peopleC. frightens many peopleD. interests many people9．The law passed in 1997 ______.A. seemed very helpfulB. let scientists downC. needed to be changedD. made people like great whites10．Katharine’s example is used to show that ______.A. great whites are in fact lovely animalsB. the OCEARCH website has a lot of visitorsC. the number of great whites is growing quicklyD.

Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept ris ing, they have been given a new name—phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍） in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated（夸大）, the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your ce ll phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage you r eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.12．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients. 13．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.14．Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C.Neutral（中立）D. Objective（客观）15．What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.D. Consequences（后果）of phubbing.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。

Thanksgiving holiday issymbolized by its traditional food-roast turkey. But turkey is certainly notfrom Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We couldsay it is a case of mistaken identity. The word “Turkey” has meant”the land of the Turks” since ancient times. In the mid-1500s, theword “turkey” was first used to refer to the bird in the Englishlanguage.The misunderstanding over theword happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds.There is an African bird calledthe guinea fowl. It has dark feathers with white spots and a patchof brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europethrough North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands.So, the English thought the bird as a “Turkish chicken”.When Europeans came to NorthAmerica, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was nativeto the North American continent. But they thou ght that it was the guinea fowl,which at that time, was called the “turkey cock”, so they gave it thesame name.Hundreds of years later, wecontinue to call this North American bird “turkey”, even though ithas no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe.But English is not the onlylanguage with interesting names for this North American bird.The Turkish call turkey”hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The referenceto Indiaprobably conies from the old wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia.The French call it”dinde”, a name that also connects the bird to India.”Dinde” means “from India” in the French language.”Turkey” has similar names in several other languages.（1）What can we know from paragraph 1?A .
