集宁一中2018-2019学年度第一学期期中考试高二年级英语试题试卷分I卷（选择题）和П卷（非选择题）两部分，满分120分。

第I 卷第一节阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）AThe most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That’s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’sforget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.1. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is DownB. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the AirportD. Asking the Computer2. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?A. She could sell a ticket.B. She could write out a ticket.C. She could answer the passengers’ questions.D. She could do nothing.3. Why do you think they had not a backup computer?A. Because it was easy down.B. Because it was very expensive.C. Because it was not advanced enough.D. Because it was not as big as the main computer.4. The last paragraph suggests that _______.A. a modern computer won’t be down.B. computers can take the place of humansC. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to peopleD. there will be great changes in computersBAlbert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别) of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been worldfamous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the year following World WarⅠ honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦逊的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.5．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.A．the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to othersB．the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC．the difference between science and historyD．the change in human thought produced by Einstein6．It seems to the American university president that ________.A．Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in historyB．everybody understands Einstein’s scientific ideasC．the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyoneD．our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein 7．Einstein did his greatest work ________.A．when Nazism rose B．when he was youngC．during World War Ⅰ D．after he left Europe8．From the passage we can know that ________.A．Germans usually have a high respect for scienceB．Einstein had other interests besides scienceC．Einstein was forced to work again in 1918D．Einstein led a quiet life during World War ⅠCBEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead. The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe（调查）into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province. Preliminary（初步的）investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam（未经授权的煤层）, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive（连续的）local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.What if these inspections were just a formality（形式）? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners. A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed.9. What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?A. The workers didn’t operate properly.B. The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal.C. A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.D. The safety inspections were ineffective.10. According to the writer, who should be further investigated?A. Mine owners and miners.B. Miners’ families and mine staff.C. Government officials and safety inspectors.D. The Shanxi governor and miners.11. What can we infer from the passage?A. More than 105 miners died in the disaster.B. Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.C. Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.D. The three inspections were only a formality.12. What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Some warnings.B. Some money for one’s service.C. Some secret information.D. Some pieces of advice.DThe UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean theend for some migrating animals．Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas． Birds may fly from one part of the world to another ,perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way． Whales and turtles（海龟）cover vast areas of ocean． The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm．“Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years, but climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fastenough , ”said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles． Scientists have found thatat higher temperatures, turtles products far more female eggs than male ones． In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says． It also tells us that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer asthe waters get warmer．With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areasat either end of the travels or at resting places along the way． About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more storms, the report concludes. Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include: the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food（tiny fishes ）is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White Nose Dolphin, which is out –competed by other kinds of dolphinsin warmers waters. The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protectingthe environment can still help mobile animals to recover. “We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running .”said Dr. Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors, finding newfeeding grounds and new foods to eat.13．What is the main topic of the text?A．The effect of climate change on migrating animalsB．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.C．The actions required to save migrating animals.D．The need for government policies to prevent global warming. 14．According to the report , how will global warming affect turtles in thefuture?A．They will only produce female babiesB．Their food supply will gradually disappear.C．Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.D．They will be in greater danger because of more strong storms. 15．Which of the following is mentioned as a result of rising temperatures? A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.B．20 percent of all likely to die out because of land loss. C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly. D．Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds ofdolphins.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。

Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms,stands inside an aircraft. The girl fromTucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilotlicensed to fly using only her feet. JessicaCox of Tucson was born without arms, butthat has only stopped her from doing onething: using the word "can't".Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column,Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet."She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at SanManuel's Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Servicesand has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities."When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problemflying a plane."Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that shedidn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can'tpossibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.1. The word CAN'T will be removed from the two dictionaries because of ______.A. the first woman pilotB. a very special flight serviceC. a great flight with a light-spot aircraftD. the flight in a seemingly impossible way2. According to Parrish Traweek, Jessica Cox_____.A. flies the plane by standing in itB. is good at driving a car with her legsC. has been her workmate for two yearsD. is one of the best pilots trained by her3. What can be known from the text?A. Jessica Cox has been armless for 25 years.B. Jessica Cox was normal when she was young.C. There are no suitable prosthetic devices for Jessica Cox.D. The doctors have discovered how Jessica Cox lost her arms.4. The best title for the text may be "_______".A. Flying with no handsB. Jessica Cox, a disabled pilotC. Living with a positive attitudeD. Two words will disappear from dictionariesBWhen Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠)his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He beganto think that he had no future at all.“Why don't you start your own business?”one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do？”“Get out and have a look round,”advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit.A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍)．But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate（土地，地区） where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the moneylocker and found bank notes and gold coins inside. 5. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?A. Goodwill is the key to successB. The world is a moneylockerC. No education, no futureD. Difficulty of starting a small business6. Boris started his career by________.A. cycling around the townB. developing a waste groundC. repairing cyclesD. buying empty shops7. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because________.A. it was not so expensiveB. he had a lot of old customers thereC. he could make good use of his skills thereD. there were good opportunities there8. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris______.A. still couldn't make good profitsB. set off in a successful careerC. found a lot of gold coins by accidentD. had great difficulty running his businessC9. If you like swimming, you will chooseA. Banbury HouseB. Three SeasonsC. Sturtin HotelD. Downtown Digs10. In what way is Downtown Digs different from the other residences?A. It is comfortable.B. It is expensive.C. It is cheap.D. It is quiet.11. If you would like to live as close as possible to the university, you'd better chooseA. Banbury HouseB. Three SeasonsC. Downtown DigsD. Hilton HostelDGolden eagle populations in the UK are set to increase as some chicks are reintroduced to the north of England. Ten birds will be released(释放)from south of Edinburgh in summer 2018, with the hope of bringing the species back from disappearing in England. More eagles will be released in the summertime of the next five years.The project received ￡ 1.3 million of lottery funding in March and has now been awarded a further ￡ 150,000 to employ workers to run the operation. Project manager Cat Barlow said:“This is a really exciting time as the project is now starting to happen and we will soon start to see its benefits. Work will start next summer, when we will collect a number of golden eagle chicks in the Highlands and bring them south to be reared and released from an already selected place.”The birds will be released with satellite tracking tags that will allow the scientists to gather information about their behavior and find if they suddenly go offline.Recently, golden eagles have died out in England as the last known individual is believed to have died. Due to the popularity of shooting birds of prey(食肉猛禽), those birds in the wild struggle to survive. Main causes of death are systematic poisoning, shooting and nest disturbance by gamekeepers.It is hoped that the newly released birds will move further south in search of new living areas and food supplies. The project expects to see the number of wild birds in Scotland and England increase as the range of the animals develops. While the birds were gone in England, in the Highlands of Scotland the number of golden eagles rocketed. With up to 500 breeding pairs, the chicks will be sourced from here. It is hoped that golden eagles may finally return to the north of England, and if all goes well, numbers should grow steadily.12．Why will some golden eagles be set free from south of Edinburgh?A．To keep the balance of natureB．To prevent eagles from dying outC．To bring back the number of other speciesD．To encourage more birds to live in the wild13．Which word can replace the underlined word“reared”in Paragraph 2?A．RaisedB．StoredC．SoldD．Exhibited14．What does Paragraph 4 focus on ?A．Harmful effects of shooting birdsB．Why animal hunting should be forbiddenC．Reasons for golden eagles’ dying ou tD．The difficult situation golden eagles face15．What is the author’s attitude towards the golden eagle project?A．AmbiguousB．CautiousC．DoubtfulD．Hopeful第二节(共5小题；每小3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。
