第Ⅰ卷（选择题）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。

ADowney’s mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four ­ year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues (问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional (情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, “The more you're out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end.”1．What does Downey’s mother mean to Downey?A．A friend. B．A dreamer.C．An example. D．An expert.2．What made Downey choose the Danish international school?A．The famous learned professors.B．The casual learning environment.C．The impressive academic reputation.D．The favorable geographical location.3．What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A．It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.B．The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.C．Downey was too young to take care of herself.D．Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.BLiving abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign languageenvironment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the unive rsity’s reputation; look for the most suitable for your goals.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application forms, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.4．Why does the author think studying abroad is truly worthwhile according to paragraph1?A．It is a chance to develop your career. B．It is an interesting experience.C．It is fun to travel around the world. D．All your friends are doing so.5．What can a school ranking list tell us?A．The names of all the professors.B．How good the school is compared to others.C．How much the courses cost.D．Where the school is located.6．What are the three basic steps when you apply?A．Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.B．Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.C．Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.D．Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.7．What do es the underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．lose money in the first round B．get accepted in the next roundC．fail to get to the next round D．get kicked by a professorCScientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.What’s so wild about this wet discovery? It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet’s surface.It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water. But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought.The meteorite, nicknamed Black Beauty, was found in Africa’s Sahara Desert in 2011. Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found. Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old. Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock. It’s also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panel’s ancient surface.The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the mete orite to analyze it. Scientists think the meteorite’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth, or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars’s crust.Bl ack Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet’s past. These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that’s being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet.8．People used to think that .A．there was little water on Mars B．Mars had a lot of flowing waterC．a large quantity of ice was Mars D．Mars was much wetter than Earth 9．What do we know about Black Beauty?A．It was discovered in Seattle in the USA．B．It is the biggest of 110 meteorites from Mars.C．It landed on Earth after an asteroid crash. D．It has a history of 2.1 million years.10．How did the scientists research Black Beauty?A．By cutting it into pieces. B．By dipping it into water.C．By burning it on a fire. D．By burying it into a desert.11．The passage is mainly about .A．a rock from the center of Mars. B．a major Martian meteorite discovery C．a new discovery on the Red Planet D．a number of meteorites from Red PlaneDFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2024, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science starsin China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. Sheis known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersible （潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolon g submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea.

When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said. “She didn’t intend to stea l when she went into the store .She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do t his.”Judge David Azan fined Luz ＄50, and warned:“You’ve got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.”Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master’s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.36．What is Ana Luz’s nationality?A.

Apologizing for the Actions in ShopsC. Seeking Professional Help from ExpertsD. Controlling the Desire to Steal from Shops四、任务型阅读：(2/10=20)How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence. In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin?Developing self-confidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track (轨道) toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their childrento try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution (解决办法)?With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become.Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are. Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next. Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready.All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.Title: 41. _____ Self-confidence41 ____________ 42 ____________ 43 ____________ 44 ___________ 45 ____________ 46 ____________ 47 ____________ 48 ____________ 49 ___________ 50 ____________高二周练答案一、CDDBB ADDAA ACCBA二、BDACB ACBBC DACDC BDACA16.

2015-2016学年江苏省南通市启东中学高二下学期第二次月考英语Call out. Call loud: “I’m ready! Come and find me!”The snacks in the tool shed (工具库) smell like the seaside.They’ll never find you in the salty dark,But be careful that your feet aren’t sticking out.Wisher not to risk another shout.The floor is cold. They’ll probably be searchingThe bushes near the swing. Whatever happens,You mustn’t sneeze when they come prowling (悄悄寻找) in.And here they are, whispering at the door;You’ve never heard them so hushed (小声的) before,Don’t breathe. Don’t move. Stay dumb. Hide in your blindness.They’re moving closer, someone stumbles, mutters;Their words and laughter scuffle, and they’re gone.But don’t come out just yet; they’ll try the laneAnd then the greenhouse and back here again.They must be thinking that you’ve very clever,Getting more puzzled as they went away.You legs are stiff, the cold bites through your coat;The dark damp smell of sand moves in your throat.It’s time to let them know that you’re the winner.Push off the snacks. Uncurl (伸直) and stretch. That’s better!Out of the shed and call to them: “I’ve caught you!”The darkening garden watches. Nothing stirs.The bushes hold their breath; the sun is gone.Yes, here you are. But where are they who sought you?---Vernon Scannell1．Which part of the body is difficult to hide?A. headB. handsC. legsD. feet2．Which statement is true?A. The child leaves the tool shed late in the afternoon.B. Clever as the child is, he is finally caught by the searchers.C. The searches don’t make any sound when looking for the child.D. The searches look the lane and the wing before they return to the shed.Right now, 62 million girls worldwide are not in school. They’re receiving no reading, no writing, no math—none of the basic skills they need to provide for themselvesand their families, and contribute fully to their countries.Often, understandably, this issue is considered as a matter of result of a failure to invest enough money in educating girls. We can solve this problem, the argument goes, if we provide more scholarships and safe transportation and build more school bathrooms for girls. And it’s true that investments like these are important for addressing our global girls’ education crisis. But we cannot solve our girls’education problem until we deal with the broader cultural beliefs and practices that can help cause this crisis and make it continue.We know that legal and cultural change is possible because we’ve seen it countries around the world, including our own. A century ago, women in American couldn’t even vote. Decades ago, it was perfectly legal for employers to refuse to hire women. But in each generation, brave people –both men and women—stood up to change these practices. They did it through individual acts like taking their bosses to court and even through national movements that brought changes.Cultural changes like these can encourage countries to make greater investments in girls’ education. And when they do, that can cause a powerful effect that can cause even greater cultural and political progress for women. Girls who are educated marry later. Educated girls also can earn higher salaries. And when educated girls became healthy, financially secure, empowered women, they’re far better equipped to achieve their needs and wishes, and challenge unjust laws and harmful practices and beliefs. But for me, this issue isn’t just about politics or economics --- for me, this is a moral issue. As I’ve traveled the world, I’ve met so many of these girls. They’re so hungry to realize their promise. They walk for hours each day to school, learning at rickety desks in bare concrete classrooms. These girls aren’t different from my daughters or any of our daughters. None of us here in the USA would accept this for our own daughters and granddaughters, so why would we accept it for any girl on our planet?As a first lady, a mother, and a human being, I cannot walk away from these girls, and I plan to keep raising my voice on their behalf for the rest of my life. I plan to keep talking about this issue here at home, because I believe that all of us —men and women, in every country on this planet—have a moral obligation to give all of these girls a future worthy of their promise and their dreams. 3．According to the passage, millions of girls _______.A. skip math classes for no reasonB. are receiving no formal educationC. are busy supporting their familiesD. make full contributions to their countries4．In the speaker’s opinion, the key to solving the girls’ education problem is ________.A. organizing national movementsB. making people brave enough to fightC. investing enough money in educating girlsD. changing unfair cultural beliefs and practices5．The speaker made this speech in order to _________.A. give some facts about girlsB. show how to educate girls wellC. advertise girls to fight for their rightsD. encourage people to care about girls’ educationA new study by the Pew Research Center shows that the number of dads who choose to stay home and care for their children and families has quadrupled (成为四倍) over the past 25 years. Can social and economic factors explain the change?Make no mistake; fathers who are the primary caregiver for their children are far from the norm. In fact, they are only 16% of all stay-at-home parents.but that number is up from 10% since 1989. When pew started analyzing data. The steady growth since then suggests that these numbers represent a growing trend.“It’s up from 1.1 million to 2 million,” says Gretchen Livingston, one of the study authors. “ More significantly, the number of man who say they stay at home specially to take care of their home and children is at an all-time high, more than four times the rate of fathers who gave that same answer in 1989.”As women have taken on more high-paying careers, the assumption that they’ll stay home with the children has become less automatic.“My wife and I were earning about the same income at the time just after our daughter was born. We felt that if someone was going to raise our children it would have to be one of us,” says Al Watts, the president of the national At-Home Dad Network. “My wife was promoted shortly after she got back from maternity leave and that rise in pay would allow us to live on one income.”In 1989, 10% of fathers were stay-at-home parents. In 2014, 16% are. Fourteen percent of the fathers without a high school diploma stay at home, compared to 3% of those with a college degree. In 1989, more than half (56%) of dads who stayed at home cited (引用) illness or disability ass the top reason. Thirty-five percent cite that reason now. Only 5% of stay-at-home dads in 1989 said caring for family was the main reason for staying at home. Now, that number is 21%.The rise in stay-at-home dads coincides with a change in social and economic trends regardingwomen in the workforce, says Farnoosh Torabi, author of When She Makes More. “We know that before they even get married, women are out-earning and out-earning men,”she says, noting that younger women are now getting more degrees and better paying jobs, on average, than men.6．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ________.A. there are not enough stay-at-home dadsB. being stay-at-home dads is a trend nowC. stay-at-home dads are still in the minorityD.stay-at-home dads are making a mistaken decision7．What impresses Gretchen Livingston most according to paragraph 3?A.The total number of stay-at-home dads.B. The purpose of becoming stay-at-home dads.C. The quick increase in the number of stay-at-home dads.D. The reason for the wide acceptance of stay-at-home dads.8．What made Al Watts decide to become a stay-at-home dad?A. His being out of work.B. His making more money.C. His wife’s wage increase.D. His wife’s encouragement.9．In Farnoosh Torabi’s opinion, the rise in stay-at-home dads results from _________.A. the terrible economic environmentB. the rise in women’s economic statusC. the ever-increasing cost of raising childrenD. the change of men’s attitude towards familyDoctor Manette had suddenly disappeared. Everything was done to discover some trace of him, but in vain. The loss of her husband caused his wife such pain that she decided to bring up her little daughter, Lucie, in ignorance of her father's fate, and when in two years she died she left little Lucie under the guardianship of Mr. Lorry. After eighteen years, strange news concerning the doctor had just come from Paris. Mr. Lorry,told Lucie, "your father has been found. He is alive, greatly changed, but alive. He has been taken to the house of a former servant in Paris, and we are going there.”On arrival, the banker and Lucie were taken to an attic, where a haggard(憔悴的), white-haired man sat on a low bench, making shoes. He was sheltered by a man by the name of Defarge who, with his wife, kept a wine-shop in the district of St. Antoine. Charles Darnay was of noble birth; but his ancestors had for many years so cruelly oppressed(压榨) the French peasants that the name of Evremonde was hated and looked down upon. Unlike them in character, this last descendant(后裔) of his race had given up his name and wealth and had come to England as a private gentleman, eager to begin a new life. Sydney Carton was a young English lawyer. They soon became frequent visitors at the small house in Soho Square, the home of Doctor Manette and his daughter. Through Lucie's care and devotion, the doctor had almost completely recovered from the effects of his long imprisonment, and it was only in times of strong excitement that any trace of his past foolish behaviors could be discovered. The sweet face of Lucie Manette soon won the hearts of both the young men, but it was Darnay to whom she gave her love. They married.The French Revolution had actually begun and in 1792 Mr. Lorry and Charles Darnay landed in Paris, the former to protect the French branch of Tellson & Co. and the latter to help an old family servant –Gabelle–who had begged his help. Not until they had set foot in Paris did they realize what a caldron of fury (暴怒) they had been involved in. Mr. Lorry, on account of his business relations, was allowed his freedom, but Darnay was hurried at once to the prison of La Force, there to wait for his trial. The reason given for this outrage(不法行为) was the new law for the arrest of all returning French emigrants(移民), but the true cause was that he had been recognized as Charles Evremonde. Doctor Manette, going to France with Lucie,gained a promise that Darnay's life should be spared.At last came the terrible year of the Reign of Terror. The sympathy which at first had been given to Doctor Manette had become weakened through the influence of Mrs. Defarge. Also, there had been found in the ruins of the Bastille a paper which contained Doctor Manette's account of his imprisonment, and pronouncing a curse upon the House of Evremonde and their descendants, who were responsible for his eighteen years of misery. Charles Darnay's fate was sealed. "Death within twenty-four hours." To Sydney Carton, who had followed his friends to Paris, came an inspiration. He once promised Lucie that he would die to save a life she loved. He managed to gain admission to the prison; Darnay was removed unconscious from the cell, and Carton sat down to wait for his fate.Along the Paris streets six tumbrels were carrying the day's wine to La Guillotine. In the third car sat a young man with his hands tied. As the cries from the street arose against him, they only move him to a quiet smile as he shook more loosely his hair about his face.Crash! A head is held up. The third cart came up, and the supposed Evremonde came down. His lips move, forming the words, "a life you love."10．How many characters are mentioned in this passage?A. 10B. 9C. 8D. 711．What does Mr. Lorry do?A. A doctorB. A bankerC. A lawyerD.
