That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school—that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.‎ Already shy, I didn’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted ‎ myself a lot.‎ It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.‎ Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.‎ ‎21. How did the author feel about moving to a new school?‎ A. Delighted. B. Stressed. C. Thrilled. D. Uninterested.‎ ‎22. How did soccer help the author fit in?‎ A. It made her physically strong.‎ B. It improved her school performance.‎ C. It helped build her self-confidence.‎ D. It enabled her to know herself better.‎ ‎23. According to the author, one’s self-confidence grows when one .‎ A. gets challenged B. has a history with others C. participates in sports D. feels appreciated B What do we think of when we someone mentions Scandinavia (斯堪的纳维亚半岛), the group of Northern European countries? Many things come to mind. We might think of the breath-taking natural beauty of Norway’s fjords (海湾). If we enjoyed the fairy tales of Han Christian Anderson as children, perhaps we will think of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, and its statue of Anderson’s Little Mermaid (美人鱼).‎ Perhaps we shiver at the thought of Scandinavia, as the countries there can be very cold. Or maybe we imagine this part of the world, so high up in the Northern Hemisphere, as dark and a little gloomy.‎ What doesn’t come to mind is people who like to party. However, according to a survey released by travel site Hostel-world this month, Scandinavia has some of the most sociable cities on the planet.‎ For the study, 12,188 people from cities around the world were asked about their attitudes to socializing. Overall, Gothenburg in Sweden came out on top, but Copenhagen and Stockholm also placed highly, among with more predictably lively cities like New York and Madrid.‎ A city made up of many little islands, Gothenburg is, according to The Daily Telegraph, “charming in an old-fashioned way” The city’s authorities have preserved Gothenburg’s attractive wooden houses from the 19th century. Many of these have been made over into restaurant and coffee bars. Music fans are as well satisfied too — Gothenburg has dozens of record stores and live music venues (场所).‎ As you’d expect, Scandinavia cities are also welcoming to visitors. People here don’t care about your cultural background or anything else that some other places might take exception to. In these friendly Scandinavia cities, everyone’s invited to the party.‎ ‎24. When someone mentions Scandinavia, we usually think of the following except .‎ A. extreme coldness B. natural beauty C. sociable people D. Anderson’s Little Mermaid ‎25. What do we know about Gothenburg according to the passage?‎ A. People there live in an old-fashioned way.‎ B. Old buildings are well preserved in Gothenburg.‎ C. The music there is unique with a long history.‎ D. Many old wooden houses have been rebuilt as modern bars.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can be the best title?‎ A. Scandinavia Likes Good Time B. Scandinavia, the Coldest Place C. Gothenburg, A City Likes Parties D. The Paradise in the World C Can small, organic agriculture really feed the world? Won’t we need science to produce enough food as the world population is growing to 9 billion by 2050? The answer to both questions is YES—but that science may look different than you think.‎ We’ve been told that the only way we’ll be able to feed the growing population is through the science of GM ‎ (转基因) crops and chemicals. But the latest scientific studies are saying just the opposite. In study after study, the message about agriculture is: To feed the world, we need to support sustainable (可持续的) agriculture on different, local, family farms that work with nature.‎ In 2008, an international study found that sustainable agriculture, not GM crops, shows more hope of ending hunger. The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (known as the IAASTD), calls for a change of the world’s food and farming systems.‎ The Assessment said that industrial agriculture has greatly destroyed the world’s soils and other natural resources, and now is doing harm to water, energy, and weather safety. The report warns that expensive, short-term ways—including GM crops—are not likely to cut down long-term hunger, and could even make environmental and social problems worse in many places.‎ A recent report by the UN Environment Program shows that food problems will become more serious because of environmental problems and strongly supports sustainable agriculture on small family farms. It also showed that a worldwide change to organics could actually increase the world’s food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now. GM crops, once popular, are now being questioned worldwide.‎ ‎27. How can we feed the growing population of the world according to the passage?‎ A. In expensive, short-term ways.‎ B. By encouraging industrial agriculture.‎ C. By developing small, organic agriculture.‎ D. Through the science of GM crops and chemicals.‎ ‎28. We can learn from the last paragraph that there will be no food problems if .‎ A. the world supports sustainable agriculture B. we increase a lot of farm land C. the environmental problems are solved D. all the small family farms are used ‎29. Which of the following best describe sustainable agriculture?‎ A. the science of GM crops B. Working on small family farms.‎ C. a fast way to increase the world’s food production D. An approach to agriculture without harming the environment.‎ ‎30. What might be talked about if there is one more paragraph?‎ A. The causes of food problems.‎ B. The disadvantages of GM crops.‎ C. The development of industrial agriculture.‎ D. The disadvantages of sustainable agriculture.‎ 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。‎ Meat-free Mondays In the United Kingdom, vegetarianism (素食主义) is becoming very popular, with around 3 million people in the UK vegetarian. 31 However, here in France, I often struggle to find a meat-and-fish-free choice on a menu, which can make eating in restaurants a bit of a challenge.‎ People are often curious why I choose to limit my diet in the way I do. There are many reasons why people may choose to be vegetarian. Many people give up meat or fish simply because they do not enjoy the taste. 32 They believe it has a bad effect on the environment or it is bad for health. Furthermore, many people are vegetarians to avoid wasting food. In addition, some religious beliefs forbid eating certain meats. 33 ‎ ‎ 34 However, although sometimes vegetarian food requires a little more creativity, it is very easy to enjoy a healthy and balanced diet as a vegetarian especially when meat substitutes (替代品) are becoming much easier to get.‎ Meat-free Mondays is a campaign (运动) to encourage every family to eat just one main meal a week which does not contain meat or fish. 35 This is a great challenge for anyone who would like to try out some vegetarian cooking and is a wonderful way to contribute to slowing down climate change.‎ A. Young kids prefer meat and fish than vegetables.‎ B. Some feel that killing animals for meat is wrong.‎ C. Vegetarian food can be delicious and easy to prepare.‎ D. The city where I grew up is known as the ‘vegetarian capital’ of the UK.‎ E. Overall, vegetarians usually have different reasons for choosing their lifestyle.‎ F. The purpose of the campaign is to protect the environment and to improve health.‎ G. A common misunderstanding about vegetarian food is that it is not tasty or healthy.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完型填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Somebody just died,” my daughter Kathy begins.‎ ‎“Somebody was just born,” I answer, smiling.‎ ‎“Somebody is 36 ,” she replies.‎ ‎“Somebody is laughing,”‎ This is our game.

Thanks to the Internet, many people prefer to send e-mails rather than mail letters using the postal system. Young people entering the working world today find themselves sending and replying to hundreds of business related e-mails every week.‎ However, many of these same young people don’t seem to know some basic rules when it comes to sending e-mails at work. Most of the people said they didn’t check their spelling or punctuation (标点) before hitting ‘send’. Even more surprising was that 5% of them said they sometimes end e-mails to their boss with the words ‘love and kisses!’ While this is fine for personal messages to friends and loved ones, it is normally considered improper in work place.‎ The main reason for this use of informal language in workplace e-mail is that a lot of young people have always communicated with others on the Internet—especially using e-mails—in a relaxed and friendly manner. For many people, online communication outside of work, such as talking with others in chat rooms, posting on message boards, and sending e-mail to friends, is usually for fun.‎ Another reason is that young people now are unfamiliar with how to write formal letters, because they have never had to write a formal letter before. They have had no training in how to write a basic business letter, and are unaware of the style and language that should, and should not, be used.‎ With more business letters now being conducted using the Internet than ever before, it is important for people to be aware of the differences in language use between personal and business communication—especially when using e-mails. So next time you send an e-mail at the office, remember you’re not just online, you’re at work.‎ 浙江省温州市“十五校联合体”2017-2018学年高二上学期期中联考 英语试题答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 ACBAC 6-10 BBBAC 11-15 ABCAC 16-20 ACBAB 第二部分：阅读理解（每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21-23 BCD 24-26 CBA 27-30 CADB ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎31-35 DBEGF 完型填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36-55 ADBBA 41-45 CDCBA 46-50 DBCAA 51-55 BDACC ‎ 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. served 57. but 58. that 59. extremely 60. why ‎61. unlike 62. is taken / was taken 63. becoming 64. terrified 65. an 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） ‎ 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ One possible version Dear Mrs. Greenwood,‎ I am terribly sorry to have Li Ming stay for the night at your house without your permission two days ago.

(要点3) However, Withemails widely used in workplace, people should learn to write formally in business emails. (要点4)‎ 附听力原文：‎ ‎(Text 1)‎ W: Excuse me.
