‎2017-2018学年辽宁省阜新二高高二下学期期中考试英语试题 ‎ ‎ 时间：100分钟 分数：120分 命题人：马菲菲 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节；第一节：共15小题，每小题2分， 满分30分）‎ A ‎1Sunday ,31 August ‎   We’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake一here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts—I wonder what it will be like.‎ Monday, 1 September ‎   On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks. We stay in the same classroom because apparently we don’t have to go from class to class—teachers come to us!‎ ‎   Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teachers and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do,but I accepted the job anyway.‎ Friday ,3 October ‎   Boy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools “ Homeroom ” and “ Study Hall ”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.‎ ‎   I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!‎ ‎1. The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT _______ .‎ A. food flavor B. physics study C. language exchange programs D. free time activities ‎ ‎2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?‎ A. Making announcements. B. Collecting homework. C. Teaching classmates.. D. Helping teachers with small errands (差事)‎ ‎3. Where is this passage most probably from?‎ A. A guide book. B. A storybook. C. A magazine. D. A diary.‎ ‎4. The passage is best described by _______ .‎ A. multi-culture B. culture shock C. cultural background D. unique culture B If you think it is cold where you are at the moment, then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.‎ ‎   With the average temperature for January standing at –50°C, it is no wonder that the village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the “ Pole of Cold”, the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon is –71.2°C,which is the lowest recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth.‎ ‎   Ironically, Oymyakon actually means "non-freezing water" due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still bum coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modem conveniences.‎ ‎   Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman.‎ ‎   The village is located around 750 metres above sea level and the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in summer. And despite its terrible winters, in June, July and August temperatures over 30°C are not uncommon.‎ ‎    There are few modem conveniences in the village— with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burning coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town will shut down in about five hours, and the pipes will freeze and crack.‎ ‎   Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.‎ ‎   Even if there is coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves could not work in such cold conditions.‎ ‎  Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days.‎ ‎5. According to the text, Oymyakon ____.‎ A. has got frozen water all over the year B. is the coldest location on the earth C. can enjoy quite a few modem conveniences D. gets its name because of a nearby hot spring ‎6. Mobile phones could not work in Oymyakon because ____.‎ A. the extreme coldness makes them lose power B. the batteries are of poor quality C. the phone reception is too far away to receive the signals D. there is no coverage for phone reception ‎7. We can learn from the text that ____.‎ A. the town often stops working because of no coal delivery B. daily problems usually accompany the locals C. locals have no awareness of saving their resources D. locals only live on reindeer meat and horse meat C The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors’ attention away from their after lunch sleeps.‎ ‎   Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾),sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly ‎ pajamas (睡衣).The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the competition.‎ ‎   It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.‎ ‎   The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is becoming forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, that’s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap.‎ ‎   The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.‎ ‎   There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night’s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.‎ ‎8. The underlined word “ siesta ” here probably means“ _____ ”‎ A. oversleep B. night sleep C. a short sleep after supper D. a short sleep after lunch ‎9. In what situation did the competition take place?‎ A. In a noisy place. B. In a quiet place. C. In a comfortable place. D. In a familiar place.‎ ‎10. When the competitors went to sleep, they could ____.‎ A. have their own beds B. use nothing to cover their eyes C. have doctors to help them D. use something to help them sleep ‎11. The competition is held because the Association wants to _____.‎ A. know if people still know the traditional habit B. call on people to have their traditional habit C. do some research on how people sleep D. give people money in this way D Wicked! Note the intonation(语调).It means “wonderful” “ great cool” “splendid” .It came into English from United States’ slang in the 1980s or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s.‎ ‎     It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts,or the other way round. I mean you might remember saying,‘‘ That’s great ’’ meaning ‘‘ It isn ’ t great ”.And always there’s been this use of the word “naughty” to mean “nice”. So it’s part of a general trend.‎ ‎     It’s mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun, for example “We had a wicked time!” Or, of course, you can use it on its own by just saying “Wicked!” as a reaction— that’s how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that grown-ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way—I’ve heard young people in recent years use words like evil meaning good ,or brutal meaning good .‎ ‎     “Wicked” is still around. This means, of course, that the traditional sense of wicked is now being ‎ squeezed out (挤出).So with “wicked” ,tone of voice is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning, and even that’s ambiguous(模糊的)sometimes, so you have to be careful, and pay very careful attention to the context.‎ ‎     And notice that the word is extending its use. The other day, for the first time, I heard somebody say u wicked cool”, meaning “very cool” .‎ ‎12. What does the text mainly tell readers?‎ A. The change of the word ”wicked“ in meaning. B. The changing meaning of English words. C. English words from American slang. D. The way to use English words.‎ ‎13. The author tells readers to pay attention to the intonation of the word “wicked” because            .‎ A. its intonation decides its meaning B. the word is easy to misunderstand C. there are many meanings of the word D. there is another word with the same pronunciation ‎ ‎14. According to the text, which of the following words is often used to express its opposite meaning?‎ A. Wonderful. B. Cool. C. Evil. D. Splendid.‎ ‎15. According to the text, we know that the word “Wicked”          .‎ A. is only used in front of a noun B. has been used on its own C. was first used by American children D. hasn’t lost its old meanings ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ It’s easy to talk yourself out of exercising. Even when you have the best intentions to work out, excuses are so easy to find—“I’m too tired” or “I’m busy” or “the weather is bad”. Don’t worry! ___16____‎ Take baby steps.
