Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.‎ ‎ So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.‎ ‎ The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.‎ ‎ This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.‎ However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?‎ There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.‎ I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?‎ ‎ A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.‎ ‎ B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.‎ ‎ C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.‎ ‎ D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.‎ ‎25 What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?‎ A. He cut off his cellphone signal. ‎ B. He handed his iPad to his wife.‎ C. He refused to cheat in his house. ‎ D. He listened to the radio most of the time.‎ ‎26. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.‎ A. keep control of when and how to use the Internet ‎ B. continue to read more and more books C. stay away from the Internet for ever D. stop checking what is being said right now completely ‎27. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?‎ A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.‎ B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.‎ C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative. ‎ D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.‎ C Some people are so rude!‎ Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?‎ Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.‎ In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect. ‎ My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”‎ In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.‎ How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.‎ The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do. ‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "exasperated" mean in the fifth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Worried. B. Annoyed. C. Surprised. D. Tired.‎ ‎29. Which of the following does the writer agree to?‎ ‎ A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual. ‎ ‎ B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessary ‎ ‎ C. People needn't learn from one another in traditional societies. ‎ ‎ D. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.‎ ‎30. What's the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Nowadays: what means should we use in communication ‎ B. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message ‎ C. Nowadays: what should we do with text messages ‎ ‎ D. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message 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, 并在 题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Change is scary. 31 . It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that you’re so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.‎ Make change into small bite size pieces. 32 . Remember that as long as you attempt to take regular practice towards your goal, such as eating more healthily every day, or walking twenty minutes a day, you’re heading in the right direction to make changes.‎ Form a habit of keeping a diary every day. Writing a journal every night before going to bed can effectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the change process. Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling. 33 .  ‎ Rest is essential to success. Have a rest and take timeout to build your energy 34 . We don’t give ourselves time to rest; we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we don’t have the energy to keep going, we have to give up!‎ ‎35 . Just accept it! I’m sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, they’re never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self-preservation! Therefore, give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.‎ A. It is a step into the unknown.‎ B. It’s not being lazy to have time out.‎ C. No one else is going to like your changes.‎ D. Don’t try to eat the elephant in one sitting.‎ E. Creating change is about building your character.‎ F. Keep repeating your small steps over and over again.‎ G. It’s a private place where you can speak out your inner thoughts.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分40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四个选项（A、B、C和D ‎）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在 题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I had a philosophy(哲学) professor. His untidy appearance was highlighted by a 36 sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often 37 on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand and existential “what’s the meaning of 38 ” discussions. Many of those discussions went 39 , but there were a few that really hit home (切中要害). This was one of them.‎ ‎“Respond to the following questions by a 40 of hands,” my professor instructed.‎ ‎“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyone’s hand 41 .‎ ‎“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourth raised their hand.‎ ‎“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.‎ ‎“Look around the 42 ,” he said. “In just two short generations 43 any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have a(n) 44 photograph in a dusty cigar box or know the classic family, 45 about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us 46 know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of, what they were afraid of, or what they 47 about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this 48 to you?‎ ‎“Here’s a better question. Look 49 three generations. You are long 50 . Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say 51 you? Will they know about you? Or will you be 52 , too?‎ ‎“Is your life going to be a 53 or an example? What family treasure will you leave? The 54 is yours. Class dismissed.”‎ Nobody rose from their 55 for five minutes.‎ ‎36. A. well-designed B. well-worn C. well-ironed D. well-cut ‎37. A. ran B. stood C. rested D. lay ‎38. A. life B. family C. work D. study ‎39. A. somewhere B. anywhere C. everywhere D. nowhere ‎40.

Yet would it be 64 (surprise) if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as stressful and demanding as it is in China?‎ In US high school, everything 65 (record) and graded，including your grades on ‎ quizzes，tests and final examinations. Failing 66 (turn) in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps contrary to 67 we used to think of the US high school students, they pay great attention to their 68 (academy) performance to try to get into distinguished university. 69 , they’ll be disappointed after graduation from high school.‎ Like university students, US high school students have the 70 (free) to choose the courses that most interest 71 (they).

We all have to learn how to stop wasted water. One of the step that we should take is to find ways of reusing them. Today in the most large cities, fresh water is used only once and then it runs in a waste system. But it is possibly to pipe the used water to a purifying factory, when the used water can be treated with chemical materials by the workers so that it can be reused. But even if every large city purified and reused it’s water, we still would have enough water.‎ 第三节 书面表达（25分）‎ 假如你是李华，你的好朋友Susan因考试发挥失常，导致成绩不理想而情绪低落，请你写封信安慰她。要点如下：1) 表示理解；2) 找出原因，吸取教训；3) ……‎ 注意：1) 词数100左右；2) 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ‎ Dear Susan，‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Liua 高二上英语期中考参考答案 A卷100分 第一部分听力（20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分） ‎ ‎1-5BABCC 6-10ACABB 11-15BAABC 16-20BACAC 第二部分阅读理解（15小题，每小题2分，共30分）‎ ‎21-24CBCCB 26-30ACBAA 31-35 ADGBC 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节完形填空 （20题，每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎36-40 BCADA 41-45 BCDAB 46-50 DCABC 51-55 DACDB 第二节完成句子（共10分）‎ ‎56.abandon 57. adjust 58.donate 59. recommend 60. comfort 61. annual ‎62. announced there was about to be 63.have been so occupied with ;haven’t had time for ‎64. surprising 65. is recorded 66. to turn 67. what 68. academic ‎ ‎69.
