His ACT score, a 34 out of a possible 36, proved to be just as excellent. Brown's extracurriculars also include various internships as well as participation on his high school's debate team.‎ His mother, Berthinia Rutledge-Brown, told The New York Times that she was simply blown away by her son's perfect performance. "He actually earned it," she told the Times. “I always knew Mike would get into a good school. I always knew he’d get good scholarship support. But I never imagined this."‎ So, which school will he be attending this fall? Although Brown remains undecided at the moment, he reportedly plans to major in political science and hopes to one day become a lawyer.‎ He will make the big decision by May 1.‎ 1. What does the underlined word mean?‎ A. Delight. B. Fear. C. Envy. D. Embarrassment.‎ 2. What mainly contributed to Mike’s being admitted to several top universities? A.His high GPA and SAT score. B.

Business School in Princeton.‎ C. Law School in Yale. D. Medicine School in Northwestern.‎ B A Canadian man is asking forgiveness for a birdbrained thing he did 17 years ago: inadvertently（无心 地） encouraging seagulls to trash his hotel room.‎ Back in 2001, Burchill checked into the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C, for a business meeting. He brought a small suitcase full of Brothers Pepperoni from his hometown to share with former Navy buddies in the area. But his room had no fridge so he opened a window to keep it cool. And then he went for a long walk. That was when things got messy. Really messy. The result was such a housekeeping nightmare that the hotel permanently banned him.‎ ‎“I remember walking down the long hall and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls in my room. There must have been 40 of them and they had been eating pepperoni for a long time.” Burchill said.‎ When he walked into the room, Burchill recalled he frightened the birds. They “immediately started flying around and crashing into things as they desperately tried to leave the room.” The result was a tornado of seagull feathers, pepperoni chunks and fairly large birds whipping around the room. The lamps were falling. The curtains were trashed. The coffee tray was just disgusting.‎ Eventually, Burchill called the front desk and requested help cleaning up the room. “I can still remember the look on the lady’s face when she opened the door. ” said Burchill. A short time later, he received a note from the hotel saying he’d been banned for life.‎ Recently, Burchill visited the hotel to apologize in person, in hope of making amends with the woman who had to clean the seagull-and-pepperoni-trashed room, but was told she was no longer there.‎ ‎“When I was talking to the people at the desk and the manager, they did say that they had heard this story from a long-term employee that works there,” said Burchill, “I was just kind of in and out. I didn’t want to overstay my welcome.” So he apologized and was forgiven. Burchill left them a present of about a pound of Brothers Pepperoni as a peace offering. It seemed to have worked.‎ 1. Why did Burchill take so much pepperoni to the hotel?‎ A. He wanted to share with the guests in the hotel.‎ B. He wanted to attract the seagulls to trash his room.‎ C. He intended to give it to his friends as a gift.‎ D. He intended to feed the seagulls with it.‎ 2. What punishment did Fairmont Empress give Burchill?‎ A. He had been forbidden to stay in the hotel permanently.‎ B. He had to help the woman to clean up the room.‎ C. He needed to bring a pound of pepperoni to the hotel.‎ D. He was sent to a very small room instead.‎ 3. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Burchill wrote a letter to the hotel manager to make an apology.‎ B. Hungry seagulls flew to eat the pepperoni when Burchill was sleeping.‎ C. Burchill’s coming back worsened the mess in his room.‎ D. The woman who had cleaned up the room didn’t accept Burchill’s apology.‎ 4. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Burchill will probably book a room in Fairmont Empress the next time he is in Victoria.‎ B. After Burchill’s apology the woman who cleaned up the room will come back to work.‎ C. The manager hadn’t heard of the story until Burchill visited the hotel to apologize.‎ D. People in the hotel became disappointed because Burchill didn’t stay in the hotel that day.‎ C Researchers say getting a good night's sleep is probably the best tool for memory and learning. But short periods of sleep may help our brains work better, says a recent study on napping. And taking a nap may also help old adults fight off age-related memory loss.‎ CDC, an American scientific organization, found that 50 to 70 million Americans have chronic（长期 的）sleep disorders. So, someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not experience the same improvements from napping as a well-rested person would. Also, that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is not an uncommon opinion.‎ Researchers recently looked at information provided by nearly 3,000 Chinese adults, aged 65 years or older, to learn if napping after a mid-day meal had any effect on the mental performance of the subjects.‎ First, they asked the people if they napped and for how long. Then, based on their answers, researchers put them into four groups: non-nappers (0 min), short nappers (≦30 min), moderate nappers (30-90 min),‎ and extended nappers (≧90 min). Nearly 60% of the people said they did take a nap after lunch and that their naps lasted anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Most of the subjects said they napped for about an hour.‎ The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap. The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. In this study, it seemed that the most effective nap lasted for about an hour, but not much longer.‎ Yet Doctor Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help us feel more awake.‎ 1. What’s the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Getting a good night’s sleep is probably the best tool for memory and learning.‎ B. Getting rest during the middle of the day helps older adults’ brains work better.‎ C. Taking a nap helps babies and young children learn better.‎ D. Napping helps adults fight off age-related health problems.‎ 2. Among the following people who naps after lunch, who experiences the best improvement?‎ A. A new mother with her baby crying for most of the night.‎ B. A university student staying up late for the coming exams.‎ C. A school guard working on the night shift.‎ D. A retired teacher going to bed at 10 p.m. and rising at 6 a.m.‎ 3. A nap does better for healthy and young adult.‎ A. ‎30-minute B. 60-minute C. 70-minute D. 90-minute 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。‎ If you'd love to be more eco-friendly but don't know where to begin, start with a few small changes. 31‎ ‎◆Adjust your thermostat（恒温器）to save on heating and cooling costs. 32 In summer, set your thermostat to 78 °F when you're at home and raise the temperature when you're away. In winter, turn your thermostat to 68 °F and lower it by 5°--10°when you're sleeping or out of your house. To stay warm in winter, put on a sweater or another layer instead of turning up the thermostat.‎ ‎◆Turn off lights and unplug power strips that you're not using. 33 Some devices can still use energy even when they're turned off. So, turn off the power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode.‎ ‎◆Make your taps and toilets low-flow. Cut back on water waste by installing flow restrictor(节流 装置) inside your taps and installing a low-flow shower head in your bathroom. This can save 3 to 4 gallons of water for every minute. If you're replacing a toilet, look for a low-flow one to save thousands of gallons of water a year. 34‎ ◆ ‎ 35 Adjust your washing machine to use cold water instead of warm. Since more energy is spent drying the clothes, skip the machine and hang your washed clothes on a clothesline. If you don't have space for a clothesline or can't hang clothes outside, set up a clothes drying rack that you can use inside. Try running your clothes through an extra spin cycle to remove even more water from the clothes. This will make them dry quicker.‎ A. Replace burned out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.‎ A. By doing some small things at home, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint.‎ B. Remember to fix leaky taps or toilets as soon as you notice water dripping.‎ C. Choose sustainable options when you purchase things that are normally packaged in plastic.‎ D.

Wash your clothes with cold water and line dry them. ‎ 第三部分： 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 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，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A boy from a farmer’s family stopped from school due to poverty, and went back farming to 36 the family.

The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.‎ This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.‎ Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.‎ One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed（辗转）and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung（附着）to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.‎ Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck（呆若木鸡）.‎ The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.‎ Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging（汹涌） in.‎ Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用 5 个以上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 Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. ‎ Paragraph 2‎ ‎“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.” ‎ ‎2017学年第二学期温州十五校联合体期末联考 高二年级英语学科参考答案 第一部分：听力（每小题1分，共20分）‎ ‎1-5 ACCBB 6-10 CAABB 11-15 CCCAB 16-20 ABABA ‎ 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，35分）‎ 第一节（每小题2.5分，共25分）‎ A篇 ABC B篇 CACA ‎ C篇 BDA ‎ 第二节（每小题2分，共10分）‎ 七选五 31-35 BFECG 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎36-40 ADBCB 41-45 BADDC 46-50 AACCB 51-55 ADBCA ‎ 第二节：短文填空（每小题1.5分，共15分）§科§网]‎ ‎56. an 57. faced 58. better 59. that 60. preferred ‎61. published 62. both 63. have been read 64. adventures 65. but ‎ 第四部分：写作 （40分）‎ 应用文 （15分）‎ One possible version:‎ Dear Mary,‎ ‎ I’m writing to apologize for what I said to you at dinner yesterday.

He panicked and screamed out to Sami but could not see him. He clung to tree tightly while the sea was all around. In hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.

Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sami came down the trees and rushed to hug each other, then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.

As a Britisher, today I will give you some tips during your visit in Britain.‎ ‎ First, you will need a reasonable level of English to be able to communicate and you should not count on British people to be able to speak your language. This goes for pretty all of the U.K. including Liverpool and Birmingham with the possible exception of London. Besides London----our capital city, I would recommend going across the country which is best achieved by train although it’s expensive. A cheaper alternative is to use coaches. These services go to large towns and cities in the U.K. and it gives you a chance to look at the countryside.
