14-15学年北师大高二上学期期中测试ⅠClass: Name: Marks: 满分（120）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）APeople with many different relationships use small talk. The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人), often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt two people in order to discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not proper to initiate a conversation either.1. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. how people make small talkB. people like making small talkC. why people make small talkD. where people make small talk2. What can we learn about small talk according to the text?A. Small talk only happens between strangers.B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.C. Unpleasant comments about another person aren‟t a “safe” topic.D. Small talk only happens when people want to make friends.3. The underlined word “initiate” in th e last paragraph probably means “”.A. endB. startC. controlD. avoidBShyness equals (等于) losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to sayinstead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing (社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place?‟ rather than “Do you like this place?” Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?” Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.4. The author didn‟t pay attention to what the girl was saying because.A. her voice was very lowB. he was shy and nervousC. he was attracted by her appearanceD. he wasn‟t interested in her topic5. To get rid of your shyness, you should .A. pay much attention to yourselfB. find a beautiful girl to talk withC. learn to talk to others in a relaxed wayD. ask people some interesting questions6. It can be inferred from the text that .A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looksB. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselvesC. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happyD. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys7. Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isn‟t it?B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam?D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?CClaude Monet is surely one of the most famous French artists of all. Monet was particularly interested in the effect of light and would paint the same scene in different lighting conditions or times of the day. For example, he painted around 20 versions of the Rouen Cathedral from dawn to dusk. His most famous paintings include his Water lilies series.The paintings of Paul Cézanne had a lot of influence in the development of 20th century art, including Cubism (立体派) and Fauvism (野兽派). Cézanne is one of the most famous French artists and is known as a “post-impressionist”, which was similar in some ways to impressionism but also broke away from some of its limitations. Famous French paintings include his Bathers and Mont St Victoire series.Henri Matisse was one of the most important famous French artists of the 20th century. He was considered one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement. He had a long and varied(多样化的) artistic career, painting in different styles ranging from Impressionism to Abstract. In 1941, Matisse was diagnosed with cancer and was forced into a wheelchair. But this didn‟t stop him completing the amazing Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.Degas is probably one of the most fascinating of all the famous French artists. He is known as one of the founders of Impressionism, but his paintings were also influenced by classicism, romanticism, and realism. His style is definitely very unique. He was a prolific (多产的) artist, producing over one thousand works. He is best known for his paintings of ballet dancers.8.

During Henri Matisse‟s long artistic career, he.A. painted paintings of different stylesB. did his most famous paintings after 1941C. painted in the style of Fauvism most frequentlyD. spent most of his time painting in a wheelchair11. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Degas‟ works all belong to ImpressionismB. Degas‟ works were influenced by many stylesC. it‟s not easy to tell Degas‟ paintings from other artists‟D. Degas‟ paintings influenced classicism, romanticism and realismDQuestion: Which program is in Guinness World Records as the world‟s longest running TV quiz show? Answer: “It‟s Academic.”“It‟s Academic” is a Saturday morning program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for fifty years. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton competed on the show when she was a teenager. Teams from local schools are questioned about subjects like history, literature, math, science, religion, politics and sports.Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s. She started “It‟s Academic” after local school officials asked her to create a program that showed outstanding students.The show‟s host, 84-year-old Mac McGarry, who has hosted “It‟s Academic” since the beginning, says, “When we first started, the young people from various countries were not evident so much. Now, each program presents young people from all over the world, at least descendants (后裔) from people all over the world.”Mac McGarry said, “Every time I look up, I see people who are just seventeen years old. And I think, …Well, I must not be growing older at all. They are full of enthusiasm. I really have to become more active to keep up with them.‟” More than 20,000 students have appeared on the show. Mac McGarry has asked more than 200,000 questions and gotten more than a few funny answers.Kelly Reeder led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Her school has won the championship on “It‟s Academic” several times. She says, “We have put in a lot of effort over the years. It‟s a really huge honor to end up on the A Team. My friends who are on …It‟s Academic‟ think it‟s cool that I‟m the captain of the A Team, but my friends who are not on …It‟s Academic‟ think it‟s kind of funny.”12. We learn from the text that “It‟s Academic”.A. was started half a century agoB. was produced by Hillary ClintonC. is broadcast across the US every weekD. is a TV show based on Guinness records13. Sophie created the program originally to .A. pick out outstanding studentsB. focus on students‟ schoolworkC. attract more TV viewersD. accomplish a given task14.

By saying “I must not be growing older at all”, McGarry means that she.A. will have to retire soonB. hopes to go on with the workC. feels younger together with teenagersD. worries about her health condition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。

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.A car is made up of more than 30 000 parts. Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires proper care and servicing. If you're unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner's instructions carefully.First of all, the brakes (刹车) of your car are important for safety (安全) reasons. Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil.Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn't work well. You'd better get the cooling system serviced before the start of summer.In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extend the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you.41.
