These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.‎ Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports. Winter sports such as alpine skiing(高山滑雪)and skating are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors activities.‎ People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people. ‎ ‎ The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.‎ Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.‎ Winter sports are not popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow-blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment.‎ But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world-class competition in short track speed skating（短道速滑）. This is also true for women’s figure skating. ‎ However, in alpine skiing events, China has a long way to go. ‎ ‎36.

It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf.‎ Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.‎ The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.‎ This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.‎ ‎41. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a(n) _________ species.‎ ‎ A. endangered B. living C. alive D. lived ‎42. Wolves help the balance of nature because they ________.‎ ‎ A. are endangered animals B. eat sick and weak animals ‎ C. no longer live in forests D. help the farmers ‎43.

Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world. ‎ ‎ You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth. ‎ ‎ During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. ‎ ‎ The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It's cold, and it's dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. ‎ ‎ Besides the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger--other animals. ‎ ‎ Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal.‎ ‎46. Why do people want to dive in the sea? Because _____ .‎ A. they want to catch fish ‎ B. they want to find the secrets in the undersea world ‎ C. the sea is deep ‎ D. there are all kinds of plants in the sea ‎47.

At the depth of 3,000 feet under the sea, many animals can find their way by hearing and feeling. ‎ C. The deeper the sea is, the darker and colder it is.‎ D. At the depth of 3,000 feet under the sea, all animals can find their way by seeing.‎ ‎ ‎ 四、阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)‎ It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside ‎ the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.       The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. ‎ I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. ‎ People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.‎ ‎51. Why was the bike so important to the couple? (No more than 10 words)‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________.‎ ‎52. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? (No more than 10 words)‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________.‎ ‎53. Please explain the unlined phrase “pick up” in English? (No more than 3 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________.‎ ‎54. How did people get to know the couple's problem? (No more than 3 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________.‎ ‎55. What do the couple learn from their experience? (No more than 10 words) ‎ ‎_______________________________________________________.‎ 五、书面表达：（25分）‎ 当前，不少文学作品被改编成电影，有人选择看电影，有人则喜欢读原著。‎ 请你以“Film or book, which do you prefer?”为题，按照下列要求写一篇英语短文：‎ ‎（1）看电影：省时、有趣、易懂； ‎ ‎（2）读原著：细节更多、语言优美; ‎ ‎（3）我的看法及理由。‎ 注意：1. 词数: 100 词左右; ‎ ‎2. 必须包括所给信息，可适当添加内容。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 大港八中2017-2018学年度第一学期第二次月考 高二 英语答案 一、 单项填空：（本题共15小题，每题1分，共 15分）‎ ‎1-5 BABDC 6-10 BBABB 11-15 BDBCA 二、完型填空：（本题共20小题，每题2分，共40分）‎ ‎16-20 DABCA   21-25 CDDCA    26-30 BAABB  31-35 ACBCD 三、阅读理解：（本题共15小题，每题2分，共 30分）‎ ‎36-40CBDAB 41-45 ABACA 46-50 BACAD 四、阅读表达：（本题共5小题，每题2分，共 10分）‎ ‎51.

An act of kindness can mean a lot.‎ 五、书面表达：（本题25分）‎ Some of us think that it is better to see the film than read the book. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story(省时). ‎ Besides, the film is usually more interesting(有趣),and it’s easier to follow/understand(易懂). ‎ Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original(细节更多). Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful(语言优美). ‎ Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a station of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.‎
