高二英语试卷
本试卷为第Ⅰ卷和第II卷 两部分。全卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟。
第I卷
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first
studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our
actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in
the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions
until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also
aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on
how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.
3.5℃
This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to
the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put
coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.
2℃
To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten
emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands,
worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.
1.5℃
This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting
temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.
0.8℃
This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began,
putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.
0℃
The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the
industrial age.
1. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.
A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020
B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries
C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol
D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming
2. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what
would happen by the year 2100?
A. The human population would increase by one third.
B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.
C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.
D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.
3. If those low-lying island nations are to survive, the maximum temperature rise
should be_______.
A. 0.8℃ B. 1.5℃ C. 2℃ D. 3.5℃
B
Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his
day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist
heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month,
he travels three hours to another teenage
treatment center. Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according
to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.
Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman,
the writer of
"Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."
The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US
moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others
save money or buy some special things.
People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out
a new field or gain experience.
Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to
make sure he
wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.
Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and
racial groups.
And they work in a variety of industries--- no longer just service, office and sale
jobs.
"Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes
a frequent
change in moonlighting."
As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results
in some pressures.Chief among them is time.
Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow
after-hour work
because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance.
"The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh,
energetic you,"'
says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you're
