Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, The Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted. ‎ ‎ The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said. ‎ ‎ So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.‎ ‎ But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.” ‎ ‎21. What do we know about foldable devices? ‎ A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.‎ B. They could bring us much convenience. ‎ C. They have become available in January. ‎ D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.‎ ‎22. What can we learn from Denison’s words? ‎ A. The foldable screen has great potential.‎ B. The technology could change other devices too.‎ C. There must be many problems with the technology.‎ D. The production of foldable phones will soon increase.‎ ‎23. What can be a suitable title for the text? ‎ A. Advantages of foldable phones.‎ B. The coming of foldable devices.‎ C. Popular foldable devices on the market.‎ D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.‎ B Some 70 countries, mostly in the Americas and Europe, apply Daylight Savings Time during the summer months. Europe’s clocks will move forward once again this weekend. Yet last week the European Union voted to end this long-established practice from 2021.‎ In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of moving the clocks forward in the summer. But the practice really took hold during World War I and since then it has brought several benefits. It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. It might even reduce crime. As the saying goes, “the longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.”‎ In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. When the European Union ran a poll (民意调查) among its citizens, it got nearly 5million responses. Over 80% want to scrap clock-changing, and for good reason. Although it has not been proven eventually, many scientists think that changing the clocks messes with humans’ biological clock, which may increase the chances of heart attacks and strokes. It could cause car accidents to increase, as drivers who are used to going to work in the daylight, for example, suddenly have to do so in the dark. In addition, many businesses find it extremely inconvenient that countries change their clocks at different times. ‎ So, will Europeans choose to stick with winter or summer time? This has not been decided. It could be that each country will choose for itself, though each is likely to take careful note of neighbors’ decisions. The benefit, it seems, is felt not so much in deciding how long the evening is, or how dark the morning. It is in keeping it consistent throughout the year. ‎ ‎24. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?‎ A. People might spend more after clock-changing.‎ B. Clock-changing has more benefits than expected.‎ C. People adopted clock-changing after World War I.‎ D. Clock-changing makes people sleepy in the day time.‎ ‎25. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Favor. B. Obey. C. Stop. D. Delay.‎ ‎26. What can we infer about clock-changing?‎ A. People will continue to use it.‎ B. More changes will be added to it.‎ C. It remains to be seen whether to use it.‎ D. European countries will further discuss it.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？‎ A. To recall the history of clock-changing.‎ B. To stress the benefits of clock-changing.‎ C. To show people’s opinions on clock-changing.‎ D. To introduce the bad effects of clock-changing.‎ ‎ ‎ C History could repeat itself. Solar storms have happened before and they could happen again.‎ Roughly 2,700 years ago, an unusually strong solar storm swept past the Earth. Scientists announced this in a new study. ‎ Scientists studied ancient ice in Greenland, a part of Denmark although it is in North America. They searched to uncover clues about previous solar storms. They looked at an ice core that dated as far back as 100,000 years. In it, scientists found radiation that showed a very strong solar storm 2,700 years ago. “If that solar storm had occurred today, it could have had severe effects on our high-tech society,” said Muscheler, a scientist at Lund University in Sweden.‎ Solar storms are made up of high-energy particles(粒子) released from the sun. The releases are explosions on the star’s surface. Solar storms include different kinds of eruptions from the sun’s surface, says NASA. Flares(耀斑), sunspots and other bursts are common signs of solar activity. They all involve sudden releases of stored energy, NASA says.‎ The long-ago storm had little to no effect on people in the world. It happened before businesses and technology were everywhere. However, a solar storm of that ‎ strength would be “a threat to modern society,” the study said. It would cause widespread power failure. Communication, navigation(导航), space technologies, and airline operations would also be at risk. A recent severe solar storm that caused widespread power failure took place in Quebec, Canada, in 1989. Another happened in Malmö, Sweden, in 2003. ‎ ‎ Scientists said this is the third known discovery of a huge solar storm in historical times. This suggests that while the storms are rare, they are a natural effect of solar activity. In other words, they could happen again. “That’s why we must increase society’s protection against solar storms,” Muscheler said. “Our research suggests that the risks are currently underestimated. We need to be better prepared.”‎ 28. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Add some background information.‎ B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.‎ C. Provide some advice for the readers.‎ D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.‎ ‎29. Why would a solar storm be “a threat to modern society”?‎ A. We looked down on the risks of solar storms.‎ B. A solar storm would destroy everything on Earth.‎ C. It would cause widespread snowstorms on Earth.‎ D. Modern society depends on science and technology.‎ ‎30. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Solar storms hit Quebec, Canada and Malmö, Sweden.‎ B. Solar storms could have serious effects on Earth today.‎ C. Three known solar storms happened in historical times.‎ D. Solar storms are high-energy particles released from the sun.‎ 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。‎ It is comforting to tell yourself that self-control simply isn’t your strong point when your shiny New Year’s resolutions start to fall apart. But, according to a scientific research, willpower is not a talent that a lucky few are born with. 31 . Everybody can learn to use their willpower more effectively. Here are a few ways to increase your chances. ‎ Know yourself ‎ ‎ 32 , we should identify our willpower profile. Some people tend to be interested in their own thoughts and ideas, so it is easier for them to get motivated by an inner vision than some others who get fired up by social approval. Whether to ‎ schedule time to reflect on your progress such as keeping a diary or sign up for a group where everyone has a common goal, it all depends. ‎ Make a plan A study found that 91% of participants who wrote down a plan of when and where to exercise successfully met their goals. Planning is important because the brain builds a story. 33 . Our brains are lazy and like to conserve energy, so regular reminders and visual clues can be helpful.‎ Find your motivation It seems we all hold some willpower back in reserve. Participants suddenly discovered extra self-control to do a task after they were told they would be paid for their effort, or that their effort would benefit others. 34 .‎ Don’t be discouraged Be kind to yourself. Don’t blame yourself. Reward yourself for effort, not results. 35 . ‎ Negative moods are the enemy of willpower, and self-blame is the main cause. ‎ A. It is a skill to be practiced B. When faced with taking action on your goal C. To increase chances of sticking to resolutions D. It also likes order and the feeling of being in control E. Intentions are most effective when you work on only one goal at a time F. So knowing your “why” can help you get out of bed for a cold morning run G. If you’re feeling negative and self-critical, that actually reduces your willpower 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共三节，满分45）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ If you want to greatly improve your results in whatever goal you are trying to obtain, there is one thing you can do to make this happen. Before I 36 that though, let’s look at how most people try to achieve their goals. By 37 this, you will see why the method I am going to tell will 38‎ so well.‎ Normally, when people 39 a goal, the excitement as well as the energy level is 40 . So they go out and start taking large amounts of 41 . This is great, but what normally happens after a few weeks is that they start going into a passive 42 of mind and struggle to 43 taking action. So to greatly improve ‎ your results, you must increase your intensity.‎ I have 44 this myself many times playing various sports. For some reason, whenever I 45 with someone who I know is better than me, my intensity level goes through the roof. I will go all out just to be 46 to keep up with their 47 of play. The strange thing is that 48 they are more skilled than me, I from time to time 49 myself being able to beat them or at least come very 50 . However, when I compete with someone who I know I can beat, my intensity level is 51 a lot lower.‎ Here’s what I am getting at. When 52 goals you are trying to obtain, seeing yourself as the underdog can help you increase your intensity. This is a way to 53 out the winning spirit within you. It’s the 54 inside of you that screams, “I will not back down!” In this way, you are going full out, thus greatly increase your 55 of obtaining your goals. ‎ ‎36.

Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.‎ This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.‎ Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.‎ One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight (骑士) in shining armor (盔甲).”‎ He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”‎ The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did ‎ you say?”‎ The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn’t have enough money.‎ How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?‎ Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为l50左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语：‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1‎ Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. _____________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2‎ That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. _________‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2018-2019学年高二英语第七次学分认定考试答案 听力部分 ‎1-5 AACAA 6-10 CBBCB 11-15 ACACB 16-20 BACCB 阅读部分 BAB ACCC ADB ACDFG 完形部分 ADBCA DBCAD CABAD ABCBD 语法填空 ‎56. which; 57. used; 58.

He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, and squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill. With his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, " Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”‎ Paragraph 2‎ That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. We didn’t go to the circus that night. When I asked dad why he did so, Dad said, " My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout but he reminded me of my father when I was young. " He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. "We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we didn’t go without. Now, who wants an ice cream?”‎
