武威五中2016-2017学年第二学期高二年级下学期期末 英语试卷 第一卷 一、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）‎ ‎　 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ ‎　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Films provide more than just entertainment．For many people, watching English films is a way to develop language skills．While watching a film，you are immersed（沉浸在）in the language and can pick up new expressions that you might not find in a textbook．Some difficulties can arise when watching English films-for example，unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents．With this in mind，here are my tips to help you make progress in English learning while enjoying the films． Choose a film genre类型) that you enjoy. If you like action films，watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones．If you prefer comedies，watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh！It's simple enough，but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language，you're more likely to enjoy it in English． Choose something that you are familiar with. It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film．Disney films such as The Lion King，or the more recently released Tangled，are classic examples．Other cartoons such as Up and The Lego Movie are also worth a watch． Ask friends for advice ‎ Perhaps you have friends who have already seen English film ?If so ,they may be able to recommend one ‎ If you need to，use the English subtitles     Subtitles are very helpful for beginners．using subtitles in your own language is the easiest choice，but for more advanced learners why not consider using English subtitles？This way，you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .screen．It helps you to develop your language further.‎ ‎1. What can we know from the first paragraph ?‎ ‎ A . Some expressions from textbooks can be found in English films. ‎ ‎ B .Unfamiliar spoken language can be neglected when we watch English films .‎ ‎ C. Foreign language films can help us improve our language skills.‎ ‎ D Strong regional accents cannot influence the understanding of English films.‎ ‎2. What kind of film will you probably watch if you like Hugh Grant ?‎ ‎ A. Action films B. Cartoon films C. Comedy films D. Detective ‎ ‎3. One way to get the most out of English films is watching films .‎ A. with a foreigner B. about familiar topics ‎ ‎ C. native speakers recommend D. without words on the screen ‎4. What does the underlined word “subtitles “means in the text ?‎ A. Translators B. Chinese characters C. English dictionaries D. Words on the screen B Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. ‎ Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.‎ Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.‎ ‎5.

But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.‎ ‎　　In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.‎ ‎　　Professor Hawking said：“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”‎ ‎　　But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at ‎ the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”‎ ‎9.

On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.‎ ‎“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”‎ Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised...”‎ Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”‎ ‎13.
