大庆市东风中学2017-2018学年度上学期期中考试 高二年级英语科试卷 ‎ 第I卷 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）‎ 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 Griffith Observatory (天文台) is a national leader in public astronomy，and one of the most popular attractions in Los Angeles. It is located on the southern slope (山坡) of Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park at 1,134 feet above sea level.‎ Visitors may drive to the observatory and park in its parking lot or on nearby roads. No reservation (预订) is required to visit. Parking is limited，and the busiest time is weekends. Buses，taxis，and car pools are welcome. LADOT provides weekend public bus service from the Sunset/Vermont Metro Red Line Station.‎ Griffith Observatory is open six days a week. Admission and parking are free.‎ Hours of Operation Tuesday—Friday　　　 12 noon—10 p．m.‎ Saturday—Sunday 10 a．m.—10 p．m.‎ Monday Closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day　Closed Samuel Oschin Planetarium The Samuel Oschin Planetarium theater offers 8 to 10 live，half-hour presentations each day. There are usually four different shows from which to choose.‎ Shows are presented every 60 to 90 minutes. Check the website，information desks，or the box office for each day's show time. Being seated late is not permitted.‎ Samuel Oschin Planetarium tickets must be purchased at the observatory and are only available on the day of the show. The ticket prices for shows are：‎ Adults (13—59 years old)　　　　 $7.00‎ Children (5—12 years old) $3.00‎ Seniors (60 years and older) $5.00‎ Students $5.00‎ Children under 5 years old will be admitted only to the first show each day.‎ Hearing assist devices are available on request.‎ Public Telescopes Free public telescopes are available each evening the observatory is open and skies are clear.The Zeiss telescope on the roof is generally open by 7 p．m.All observing must be completed by 9：45 p．m.‎ ‎1．What can we learn about Griffith Observatory according to the passage?‎ A．It is open all the year around.‎ B．It is mostly visited at weekends.‎ C．It becomes famous because of Hollywood.‎ D．It is the most attractive place in Los Angeles.‎ ‎2．To watch the show，a young couple with a 7-year-old son should pay________.‎ A．$13.00 B．$15.00 C．$17.00 D．$20.00‎ ‎3．Which of the following is charged?‎ A．Parking.‎ B．Telescopes.‎ C．Hearing assist devices.‎ D．Watching presentations.‎ B Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting，I arrived at nine,20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails，Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of make-up. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Elena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.‎ After making a small talk about what she wore for the shoot，she dived into the subject of her career. Elena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three：Spring Breakers，a drama；The Getaway，an action flick；and Hotel Transylvania，a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.‎ Now that her Disney days are behind her，Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing，and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished，but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued，“I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”‎ Selena has been working full-time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007 when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place，Selena，her mother，and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie，Texas，to L．A.，where they are settling now.‎ ‎4．When was it that Selena arrived at the low-key coffee shop?‎ A．At ten. B．At ten past nine.‎ C．At ten to nine. D．At thirty past nine.‎ ‎5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the second paragraph?‎ A．Selena went into her film career as soon as they met in the coffee shop.‎ B．Three famous films filmed in 2012 have shown her teen style.‎ C．The film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick filmed in 2012.‎ D．Each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style.‎ ‎6．How did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?‎ A．She believed her being part in Disney Channel was a blessing.‎ B．She didn't feel very satisfied with her shows in Disney.‎ C．She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.‎ D．She thought of playing in Disney as a blessing.‎ ‎7．The underlined word “uprooted” in the last paragraph probably means“________”．‎ A．picked B．moved C．changed D．informed C Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog，they don't run on the streets. Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.‎ But despite this，our children are growing up nature-deprived. I spent my boyhood climbing ‎ trees. These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found.‎ The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症)．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.‎ ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.‎ The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.‎ We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness.‎ ‎8．According to the author，people enjoy ________to seek nature.‎ A．jogging on the street B．sitting in the garden C．shopping in the supermarket D．running in the gym ‎9．From the second paragraph，we can see that________.‎ A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature B．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays ‎ C．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction ‎10．In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?‎ A．Children with ADHD can be cured.‎ B．Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.‎ C．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.‎ D．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.‎ ‎11．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．Access to nature improves our life.‎ B．Nature treats children with ADHD.‎ C．Getting close to nature reduces crime.‎ D．Man can't live without natural areas.‎ D These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices.‎ Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”，Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council (评议会) in Washington，D.C.，said. According to Holowka，building accounts for 65 percent of total US electricity use.‎ But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don't destroy forests.‎ Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling，“We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”‎ The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels (光板) which change the sun's energy into electricity，” Dettling explained.‎ The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.‎ Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow，Holowka said，“It's going to be big.”‎ ‎12．A green building means________.‎ A．a building that uses no electricity B．a building occupying less land ‎ C．a building that saves energy and water D．a green-colored building ‎13．A green building is often built on an area of land________.‎ A．which has already been for buildings B．which has thick forests around C．where people of high income live D．where traveling around by car is most convenient ‎14．When Holowka says in the last paragraph，“It's going to be big”，she means that green buildings________.‎ A．will be more comfortable B．will be more environmentally friendly C．will take the place of traditional buildings ‎ D．will become popular in future ‎15．Which is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.‎ B．Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.‎ C．Green buildings help save the environment.‎ D．Dettling designed the first green building in the US.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Questions to Ask Before Getting Your Child a Cellphone At what age should you get your child a cellphone？　16　However，before you decide to add your child to your family plan，ask yourself these questions.‎ ‎　17　‎ If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours，a cellphone may not be a serious necessity，but if he is independent or involved in extracurricular (课外的) activities outside your home，a cellphone could be useful，especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you.‎ Does your child understand the cost?‎ Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cellphone.　18　 Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones，setting a monthly budget for your child.‎ How can you keep your child's phone usage safe and under control?‎ ‎ Before you get your child a phone，you should discuss what it can be used for，rules he is expected to follow，and consequences if he fails to follow them.　19　‎ ‎　20　If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use，these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity.‎ A．Who needs a cellphone?‎ B．How can you determine whether or not to buy a cellphone for your child?‎ C．Also be sure that he can be trusted to stay within his limits from month to month. ‎ D．You ask your child to make use of his cellphone for learning.‎ E．Also, educate yourself on what social media apps are popular with teens.‎ F．According to Pew Research Center, the average age is between 12 and 13.‎ G．For example, is the phone only to be used to call family, or can it be used socially?‎ 第二部分： 英语知识运用（共三节，满分75分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Kellen Parker and Steve Hansen are two Americans who love the Chinese language.They__21__a website in April “to make Chinese in different places hear Chinese dialects(方言) of all kinds”．The “dialect map” has become popular and has__22__a public discussion on the__23__of Chinese dialects and how to protect them.‎ A recent__24__in (Guangming Daily) says that，compared with the passion some foreigners have__25__the Chinese language and dialects，the country's academics don't__26__enough attention to the subject.Moreover，some experts say there is no__27__to protect languages and dialects，because they are bound__28__to adapt to the demands of modern times or__29__.‎ If we consider language to be just a(n)__30__for communication，the article says，the experts' argument is__31__.But more than being a tool for communication，every language or dialect carries with it the__32__of history and culture.The extinction (灭绝)of a language or dialect is the extinction of a way of__33__，says the article.‎ The increasing__34__of human migration (人口迁移) in today's China requires the use of a__35__understood language across the country.__36__for people living away from home，dialects are a great source of cultural and__37__comfort，says the article.‎ The article__38__to say that we cannot and should not control the__39__or disappearance of a language or dialect，but at the same time we should not forget that__40__language or dialect has a special cultural and historical meaning.‎ ‎21．A. put up　　　 B．keep up C．pick up D．set up ‎ ‎22．A. led B．caused C．arisen D．happened ‎23．A. decline B．delay C．departure D．defense ‎24．A. expert B．article C．review D．poster ‎25．A. from B．off C．for D．with ‎26．A. attract B．draw C．make D．pay ‎ ‎27．A. point B．good C．need D．sense ‎28．A. neither B．either C．both D．nor ‎29．A. die out B．die off C．die from D．die of ‎30．A. handle B．equipment C．item D．tool ‎31．A. absurd B．funny C．acceptable D．abstract ‎32．A. height B．length C．weakness D．weight ‎33．A. habit B．life C．study D．work ‎34．A. pace B．interval C．output D．drop ‎35．A. specially B．commonly C．exactly D．sincerely ‎36．A.
