This proved as unpopular as talking films had done in the late 1920’s. It was not until 1938 that a full-length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated into ten different languages and made Hollywood the main center of film industryIn the early days of the cinema, other countries also had film industries. Very good films were made in Sweden, Britain, Russia and France. However, because Hollywood had so much money to spend, it kept its position as the world’s most important film center. Film actors went to America because they knew they could get a lot of money for every film they made. In 1918 Charlie Chaplin received $5 each day.However, life was not always easy for the film actors. Newspapermen followed them everywhere, and after Charlie Chaplin married for the fourth time he became so unpopular with the American public that he had to leave the country and live in Europe.56. Which of the following is correct?A. People liked color film as soon as it was made.B. At first color films were not long.C. Color films were at first silent.D. Talking films were all color films.57. The first full-length color film was made ______.A. in HollywoodB. in SwedenC. by Charlie ChaplinD. in Britain58.

He studied hard and did well in all his subjects. He hoped to become a good teacher. This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school. He likes his students and wants them to get good marks so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction(反响)to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab.“Be careful. Everyone,〞 he said loudly. “Before I make the experiment, there’re twenty five atoms of carbon〔碳原子), but after I finish it, there’re twenty four atoms of carbon left!〞He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him. He had to ask, “What happens? What makes the atom disappear?〞The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher.“Who can tell us where it has gone?〞Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row, “We did not see anybody leave the lab!〞60.Charlie began to work in the middle school because _______.A. he had been in the school for four yearsB. he couldn’t do anything except teachingC. he hoped to become a good teacherD. he did well in all his subject61.

Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known.One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself."Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement(成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.64. Which of the following titles fits this article best?A. What Nature Says to Every Man.B. How to Be Famous.C. Men Must Help Each Other.D. Depend on Yourself.65.

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,〞 Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up〔蜷伏〕with me on the sofa and talk,〞 said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.〞Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,〞 said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,〞 Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.〞Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chancesto understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.68. “The door to his room is always shut〞 in the first paragraph suggests that theson______.A. is always busy with his studiesB. doesn’t want to be disturbedC. keeps himself away from his parentsD. begins to dislike his parents69.

Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.71. What can be learned from the passage?A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.ETwo traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.〞The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?〞“Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,〞 she accused(谴责). “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.〞“Things aren’t always what they seem,〞 the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead.

2009学年第二学期高二期中考试英语科质量分析本次英语试卷命题原则是：一切从学生的实际出发，注重对学生基础知识的考查，突出能力，重点考查了学生的听，读和写的能力。

选材贴近教材，题量合适，难度适中。

本试卷由七部分构成。

1．听力。

该部分是难度较大的，题型和题量符合考试要求，试题来自于《2008高考英语总复习》，因为我们这一届将重新有高考听力，学生平时对听力不大重视，接触高考听力可以让学生感受听力难度。

该部分难度大的是第1，4， 13三个小题。

其原因主要是：（1）听力材料信息量比较大，学生抓不住关键词。

（2）学生的词汇量太小。

（3）学生的单词拼写与理解能力差。

（4）学生还缺乏一定的听力技巧。

2．单项填空。

该部分是难度最小的。

27，30这两道题都是教师在课堂上重点讲解过语法知识点，也是最基本的。

学生的得分欠理想。

3．完形填空。

该部分难度适较大，由于文章比较有思想性，学生很难理解。

28，43，45，46，47 这几个题目学生得分率为10%-30%之间，主要原因是学生很难理解文章的内容。

4．阅读理解满分40分。

该部分共四篇文章，D篇有点难，B篇、C篇是比较简单的。

文章篇幅不长，生词量很少，大部分试题都是细节题。

但学生52，56两题做的比较不理想。

全年级得满分者不多，学生对主旨大意题感到很困难，学生缺乏阅读技巧。

5．单词拼写平时我们对于基础抓得比较紧，但是学生对于单词词性转换不怎么擅长，所以得分不高，尤其是有几个题。

学生能够写出单词，但是不会转换。

6．写作该部分难度不大。

要求学生对于Mp3,Mp4优缺点的看法，然后给出自己的观点。

其词汇量要求不高，议论文题型学生平时都有接触，所以做得还可以，但是满分的作文比较少。

并且发现理科班学生英文书写比较潦草，卷面不够整洁。

While this restaurant may not serve authentic(真正的) Mexican food, that is perfectly okay with Americans. Americans have come to love the Americanized treats that Taco Bell has sold for the past 40 years. Each year Americans crowd into Taco Bell restaurants and spend over＄6.2 billion.Glen Bell opened the first Taco Bell restaurant on March 21 , 1962 The first franchise(特许经营店) was sold in 1964. And 80% of Taco Bell restaurants are individually owned franchises.Taco Bell has more than 143,000 employees. This includes the employees in the company and individually owned restaurants. Surprisingly enough, this restaurant is a cut above the other fast food restaurants when it comes to their employees. Taco Bell not only offers benefits, but they also help employees to move up in the company.Each year Taco Bell sells lots of food. In fact, they sell 2 billion tacos(墨西哥煎玉米卷) each year. What‟s their key to success? Just look at their menu.Not only is their food tasty, but it‟s extremely affordable as well.Taco Bell restaurants can be found in several cities across America. In fact, there‟re 5,800 restaurants. With all those restaurants, you can be sure that the company makes lots of money each year.

Detention(放学后留下) can have some effect, but it strengthens students‟ideas that being late is a personal issue, not a group one. Motivating students to show up on time for what‟s going to happen in class tends to work much better in preventing tardiness. This issue requires balancing the rights of the individual with the rights of the group.Here, middle grades students point out what particularly matters to them:40. According to the first paragraph, if a student is given a detention,_____.A. he will think that being late has nothing to do with othersB. he will feel ashamed as a member of a classC. he will ask for the rights of a studentD. he will be encouraged to care about his personal issues41.

To give students rewards for coming early.B. To play games at the beginning of the class.C. To give students enough time to get to classD. To have a discussion with students43. The passage is mainly about________.A. punishing students for being lateB. accepting excuses for being lateC. treating students fairlyD. coming to class on timeCGood health is the most valuable possession a person can have, but one can‟t take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat the right foods, get enough sleep and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body cannot functionwell unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”. Avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like lean meat, fish, beans and nuts. Vegetables and fruit are especially important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals, However, don‟t overeat. It is not healthful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don‟t get enough sleep, you feel tired and irritable(易怒的). You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves exercise program, and you will probably increase your lifespan(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape. Basketball, swimming, bicycling, gymnastics and running are all good examples, Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting , too.If everybody were to eat the right foods and get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.44. According to the passage, ________.A. proper care is very important for us to keep fitB. if we are healthy, we can adventure ourselves in doing things with less sleepC. one can eat a lot stay in good shapeD. one needn‟t do any exercise if he is healthy.45. “Eating more and sleeping less” ________.A. can keep healthyB. is no good for youC. gets you more energyD. will keep your personality46. The underlined word ”sharp” means “__________”.A. having a thin cutting edgeB. irritableC. comfortableD. sensitive47. The title for the passage should be ________.A. Eating and ExercisingB. The Function of VitaminsC. Staying HealthyD. Sleeping WellDNew York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horse are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.A blacksmith‟s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse‟s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight ofthe horse‟s leg while he works. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as the puts it, “It‟s a good way to make a living.”48. Why did James Corbin become a blacksmith?A. His father asked him to .B. He was needed by the policemen.C. He drew a picture of the horses.D. Because of his father‟s effect and his interest.49. In the third paragraph, “to shape a shoe” is to “_______”.A. fit a shoe to the horse‟s footB. use a shoe for two or three hoursC. make the form of a horseshoe from a piece of metalD. draw a picture of the shoe50. The best title for the passage is “__________”.A. Policemen on HorsebackB. Blacksmiths and HorseshoeingC. James Corbin, a BlacksmithD. Horseshoeing Is a Good Way to Make a living51. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.B. New Y ork is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.C. Policemen on horseback enjoy traveling around the United States.D. Policemen on horseback are less paid than those in cars.EWhat do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you ,but you have to get to the dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it on milk. Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液). He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from people‟s mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液) or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽) in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.52. This passage is mainly about________.A. how a dentist can save a knocked-out toothB. how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthyC. how Dr Courts and other researchers made their experimentsD. how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket53. Dr Courts tested _____________.A. man-made teethB. teeth dried in the open airC. teeth pulled for various reasonsD. teeth put back in their sockets54. The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it ___________A. in cell-culture mediumB. in milkC. in waterD. in eh open air55. Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because_________.A. milk works better to keep the tooth healthyB. milk causes less painC. cell-culture medium is not usually handyD. cell-culture medium is more expensive第II卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文的错误。

However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also indicate embarrassment. The following examples show this point of view:In an attempt to be open and friendly, people in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other, this nonverbal communication shows being friendly in the United States. However，in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer（嘲笑）.

Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other.To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed tha t education is not only a matter filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom: education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games; where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team, instead of working for oneself alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That’s why it is every school’s game in E ngland.45.

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum(卢浮宫) where it is housed.―The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,‖ the museu m said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. ―It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,‖ said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. ―It’s because direct visi on(视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.‖However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.49.

Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud ―burp‖ after you finish eating. Burping would show that you liked your food.In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say ―excuse me, please.‖In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends.57. People turn their backs on others while they eat in _______.A.
