‎2019学年下学期期末考试 高二英语试题 时间：120分钟 分值：150分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students’ parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” they thought.‎ One day, a boy was in Mr Lazares’s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes.” He said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.‎ Now headmasters all over the USA are trying Mr Lazares’s idea. They, too, think that students behave better when parents come to school.‎ ‎1. What does a headmaster usually do to the student if he behaves very badly?A. Calls the student’s parents. ‎ B. Writes to the student’s parents.‎ C. Lets the student stay at school for an hour. ‎ D. Stops the student having classes for several days.‎ ‎2. What did Mr Lazares do when his students were not behaving well in class?‎ - 14 -‎ A. Tried to talk them. ‎ B. Sent them home C. Had them stay in his office. ‎ D. Telephoned their parents to come to school and go to classes with them.‎ ‎3.Why did the other students behave better, too?‎ A. They were afraid of teachers. ‎ B. They were afraid of Mr Lazares.‎ C. They didn’t want their parents to come to school. ‎ D. They didn’t like to have classes with the boy’s father.‎ ‎4.Which is TRUE according to the passage ?‎ A. Mr Lazares had a good way to discipline students.‎ B. Mr Lazares didn’t let the parents leave the school for one or two days.‎ C. Students can behave well if headmasters and teachers discipline them.D. The teacher can stop the students having the class if they behave very badly.‎ B Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?‎ A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.‎ So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.‎ Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.”‎ Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem,‎ - 14 -‎ ‎ jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H.Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”‎ ‎ Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”‎ ‎ Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.‎ ‎5. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?‎ A. Leading to boredom or tiredness. B. Increasing the level of dopamine.‎ C. Decreasing the level of dopamine. D.Setting the creative part of the brain free.‎ ‎6. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _______.‎ A. one make an important breakthrough ‎ B. draw one’s attention to the outside world C. turn one’s attention inwards ‎ D. many chemical changes to take place ‎7. It can be inferred from the article that _______.‎ A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspective B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult - 14 -‎ ‎ task ‎8. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _______.‎ A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration B. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives C. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspiration ‎ D. show that creativity often comes from strange places C Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!‎ Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!‎ Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.‎ Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments - 14 -‎ ‎ to be with her, undisturbed.‎ Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.‎ ‎9.The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.‎ A. to get close to a butterfly B. to escape a sudden attack C. to look over the bad situation D. to avoid getting his shoes dirty ‎10. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.‎ A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurt B. paused until the author took a step backwards C. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mate D. attacked the author for his mate’s safety ‎ ‎11. From this experience the man learned_____.‎ A. butterflies are brave insects B. the small can defeat the large ‎ C. how to deal with challenges in his life D. people should try their best to fight for everything ‎12. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?‎ A. Courageous B. Concerned ‎ C. Ambitious D. Aggressive ‎ D World health experts warned Thursday that smoking water pipes, long popular in the Middle East and North Africa and with a growing fan base elsewhere, can be more harmful than cigarettes.‎ ‎“A single puff from a water pipe is nearly equal to the volume of smoke taken in from an entire cigarette,” said The Tobacco Atlas launched at the World Conference on Tobacco OR Health in Abu Dhabi. And World Health Organization tobacco expert Edouard Tursan Espaignet said “one session of shisha (water pipe) can be equal to smoking 20 to 30 cigarettes in one go, which can be very dangerous.”‎ The water pipe, variously known as a hubbly-bubbly, hookah, shisha or nargileh, has become a major worry for anti-tobacco campaigners as it is popularized across university campuses, overlooked by regulators. The “water pipe has an interesting ‎ - 14 -‎ design because it somewhat engages your five senses. You're holding the pipe, there’s something you’re looking at, there is the aroma(芳香), there is the sound of the bubbling and there is this kind of sensational thing with the social gathering.”In social gatherings that last for an average of an hour, the smoker can quickly get hooked on it because of the nicotine.‎ Nicotine is the main cause of lung cancer ,and data also suggest probable associations with oral, esophageal, gastric, and urinary bladder cancer, as well as chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, stroke as well as other illnesses. According to The Tobacco Atlas, “water pipes fall into a less heavily or un-regulated group of tobacco products.” in most countries.‎ ‎“There has been a gap for a while and now hopefully, with this global effort, they (tobacco regulators) are coming back to emphasize the importance of including the water pipe in all these policies and regulations on tobacco,” Zaatari said.And the ruler of the UAE(阿联酋) emirate of Sharjah has banned the use of water pipes altogether, earning him an award this week from the WHO.‎ ‎13 If you take two drags on a water pipe, it is roughly the same as _______ cigarette(s).‎ A. one B. two C. twenty D. thirty ‎14． Which is not the attractions of the water pipe?‎ A. The good smell B. The appearance ‎ C. The sense of balance D. The atmosphere ‎15.We can tell from the passage that __________.‎ A. Some health experts show no attention to the water pipe smoking.‎ B. Somewhat the water pipe has some good effect on serious diseases.‎ C. Some producers of water pipes have taken steps to regulate their production.‎ D. Tough as things are, a few countries have learned the severity.‎ 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。 ‎ Ways to Increase Your Confidence - 14 -‎ There are some ways you can use to increase your self-confidence.

I had bright red hair and enormous glasses. In addition, I was 22 and not very sociable. Boarding the school bus that first day, I felt like all eyes on me. I could hear the 23“She’s huge!” Obviously, the kids on the bus had known each other well. I spent that first bus 24 in silence.‎ The following day was even 25.
