宁夏银川一中2020-2021学年高二上学期期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.2．Which of the following can best r eplace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?

No, it wasn’t a cookie or cake. It w as red lettuce they had grown themselves in space.“It was one small bite for man, one giant leap for NASA VEGGIE,” astronaut Scott Kelly wrote on Twitter. (Kelly based his tweet on the words astronaut Neil Armstrong famously used in 1969, after becoming th e first person to ever walk on the moon. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” he said at the time.)“NASA VEGGIE” refers to the ISS’s Veggie plant-growth system. It uses special red, blue, and green LED lights to grow plants. The sys tem is a big step toward NASA’s goal of developing a way to grow food in space during future long space missions deep into the solar system.Kelly and fellow NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren prepared the red romaine lettuce like many people do on Earth. They cleaned it, and then mixed it with olive oil and vinegar. Then they gobbled up the leafy red greens. “That’s awesome!” Lindgren said after taking a bite.It was the first taste of fresh food the astronauts had had in a long time, since there is no refrigeration on the ISS. They ate half the lettuce. The rest was packaged and frozen so that it could be returned to Earth for testing.Lindgren and Kelly are the only two NASA astronauts currently on the space station. The other crew members are Russian astronauts Gennady Padalka, Mikhail Komienko, and Lleg Kononenko, and Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui.Kelly and Kornienko have been on the ISS since March. They plan to spend 342 days in space, in part to help determine the effects of long-term space travel on astr onauts’ bodies. They traveled to the ISS with Padalka, who will return to Earth in September.Kelly and Komiendo’s job — which will be one of the longest-ever stay in space by astronauts — will help pave the way for future long-term space tasks. NASA plans to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and to Mars by the 2030s.8．Why is growing food in space very important?A．It is a symbol of scientific development.B．It will help solve the hunger problemC．Astronauts can get enough nutritious food.D．People plan to go into the deep space.9．What Kelly said in Para. 2 suggests that _____.A．it is a great success to grow fresh food in spaceB．he respected Neil Armstrong very muchC．mankind makes great progress in exploring spaceD．humans should speed up to land on Mars10．Who will remain in the ISS until March, 2016?A．Padalka and Kononenko. B．Yui and Lindgren.C．Kelly and Kormienko. D．Kelly and Lindgren.11．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Astronauts grow their favorite food in space.B．Astronauts get more fresh food from space.C．Astronauts plant vegetables for a journey to Mars.D．Astronauts eat fresh food grown on the ISS.It is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south.

一、阅读理解（30分）1.阅读理解You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years？Jane Addams（1860-1935）Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community（社区）by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need . In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson（1907-1964）If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O'Connor（1930-present）When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator（参议员） and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court.
