That’s the question that changed my life forever. ‎ ‎ At the age of 19, I became a massage therapist(按摩师). For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour(绕路). I was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis (细菌性脑膜炎) . Over the course of two months, I lost my spleen (脾) , my kidneys (肾) , and both of my legs below the knees. ‎ ‎ One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months: me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was completely physically and emotionally broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didn’t have to be small any more. I could be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard again, my feet aren’t going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I did!‎ ‎ I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I co-founded a non-profit organization for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action sports. And just this past February, I won two World Cup gold medals, making me the highest-ranked adaptive (残疾的) female snowboarder in the world.‎ ‎ Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no, because my legs haven’t disabled me. They’ve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and that’s why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. It’s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to live our lives beyond our limits.‎ ‎24. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph3?‎ A. The author no longer wanted to make friends with Amy.‎ B. The author realized she had to learn to accept a new “herself” gladly.‎ C. The author wanted a new friend in her new life eagerly.‎ D. The author felt hard to choose between the old Amy and the new Amy.‎ ‎25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The author didn’t like her job as a massage therapist.‎ B. The author is still very sensitive to her disabilities.‎ C. The author has learnt to see her disabilities as blessings.‎ D. The author hopes to return to her old life.‎ ‎26. What message does the author want to convey with her speech?‎ A. Roman is not built in one day. ‎ B. Failure is the mother of success C. Imagination is more important than knowledge.‎ D. It is not what happens to you but how you respond that counts.‎ ‎27The tone of the passage is best described as _______________.‎ A. proud but stubborn B. interesting but regretful C. optimistic and inspiring D. pessimistic and doubtful ‎ C ‎ I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册), then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.‎ ‎ But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s always “War and Peace,” which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.‎ ‎ And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail (鸡尾酒) of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids.‎ ‎28. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?‎ A. He has a cottage in New England. B. He shows talents for literature.‎ C. He enjoys reading when traveling. D. He admires a lot of great writers.‎ ‎29. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Get confused. B. Be carried away.‎ C. Be interrupted. D. Make no progress.‎ ‎30. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?‎ A. He finishes them quickly. B. He should read something serious. ‎ C. He barely understands them. D. He has read them many times before.‎ ‎31. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. The Books of Summer B. My Summer Holidays C. To Read or Not to Read D. It’s Never Too Late to Read ‎ D ‎ A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.‎ ‎ How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have ‎ something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?‎ ‎ This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .‎ ‎ It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.‎ ‎32. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?‎ A. To trick the lion. B. To show off his skills.‎ C. To get ready for a fight. D. To entertain the audience.‎ ‎33. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?‎ A. They feel puzzled over choices. B. They hold on to the wrong things.‎ C. They find it hard to make changes. D. They have to do something for show.‎ ‎34. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?‎ A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Respectful. D. Supportive.‎ ‎35. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to ‎ ‎ A. wait for a better chance B. break your old habits ‎ C. make a quick decision D. ask for clear guidance 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。‎ ‎ 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 the Internet? 36 ‎ ‎ Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies ( 礼节). But many social norms (规范) just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.‎ ‎ Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”‎ ‎ 37 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.‎ ‎ This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners. 38 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting’s use in face-to-face communications.‎ ‎ In the age of the smart phone, 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, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 39 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. 40 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.‎ A. Then there is voice mail.‎ B. Others, like me, want no reply.‎ C. But people still ask these things.‎ D. Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?‎ E. Won’t new technology bring about changes in our daily life?‎ F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.‎ G.When the telephone was invented, people didn’t know how to greet a caller.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（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答案。‎ ‎ If the law punished addiction, we would all be in prison because we are addicted to our phones.‎ ‎ We’re hopelessly 41 by them, helplessly devoted to them. Our hands and minds are 42 : texting, tweeting, liking, emailing, sharing. We find ourselves 43 stimulated(刺激).‎ ‎ My iPhone is the last thing I look at when I go to bed and the first thing I look at when I 44 . When it’s not there I feel its 45 like an amputee(被截肢者) still feeling a(n) 46 leg. It is my entry to culture and fun. I love it. You love yours.‎ ‎ But the comment on this enormous 47 in our behavior has been completely 48 . The central claim is that technology make us 49 what we already know about life, and it 50 us developing fully independent selves. And the quality of human relationships is said to have 51 . Parents are distracted by work emails at the dinner table and in the playground; children cry for 52 until they finally get an iPad for Christmas. Gatherings of old friends can’t do a couple of hours 53 checking their Gmail every 10 minutes. Technology sucks the life out of us, and takes our souls in 54 for the convenience of not having to learn how to read maps properly. ‎ ‎ I simply do not 55 the idea that we aren’t fully whole due to our phones, just because we can talk to our friends whenever we want, without any 56 for the limitations that space and 57 used to set on us. This helps us to get 58 . It doesn’t set us apart.‎ ‎ 59 we will film. We will photograph. We will edit. We will 60 , like, love and envy. Finally, in our own strange way, we will control our heavily doctored lives. ‎ ‎41. A.surprised B. Distracted C. Frightened D.punished ‎42. A. lost B. Vacant C. occupied D. awkward.‎ ‎43.

This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinion.‎ ‎ Yes ‎ No ‎ Advances in technology have increased the destructive capacity (能力) of conflict by enabling killing to occur much more rapidly, as can be seen by the destruction of the First and Second World Wars with their unprecedented (前所未有的) number of deaths.‎ ‎ Besides, with the help of modern technology, Weapons of Mass Destruction have been developed, which has raised the threat of total global destruction, Science has produced the means for more suffering in an almost infinite capacity, which surely outweighs the benefits towards healing the sick,‎ ‎ What’s more, the pursuit of industrialization and the use of modern technology require the generating of enormous amounts of energy, Such production creates severe damage to the environment via pollution. The damage to the environment also threatens to leave the earth uninhabitable(不适合居住的)， which would also harm humanity’ s interest.‎ ‎ Science is the discovery and use of knowledge. It is how we become the dominant(占优势的) species on earth, by using tools and techniques to improve out living standards and take control of our environment. Technological advances have enabled humans to become removed from the basic toil(辛苦，劳作) needed to survive and to consider other pursuits, so for example we no longer work all day every day as we are more productive. We are now able to pursue our desires or consider great questions.‎ ‎ Science had created modern communication systems which allow individuals to communicate across the globe with friends and relatives. Communications also allow humanity to deal with wider problems collectively (共同的，集体的) where this was previously impossible. One example is collective action to deal with natural disasters such as flooding or tsunamis. Aid is flown around the world and millions donates the necessary funds after seeing the sufferings on their TV screens.‎ ‎[写作内容]‎ ‎1. 用约 30 个单词写出上文概要;‎ ‎2. 用约 120 个单词发表你的观点,内容包括:‎ ‎(1)你对科学发展的看法;‎ ‎(2)用 2- 3个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎[写作要求]‎ ‎1. 可以支持文中任一观点,但必须提供理由或论据;‎ ‎2. 阐述观点或提供论据时,不能直接引用原文语句;‎ ‎3. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;‎ ‎4. 不必写标题。‎ ‎[评分标准] 内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。‎ 高二 英语9.26月考 答案 听力：CBBAC BAACB CAACC CBACC 阅读： DCA BCDC CDBA AABC DAGCB 完形：BCBCC DDBDA CCDBA BBDAC 语法填空 61. on 62. starred 63. has amused 64 which 65. wearing ‎ ‎ 66. unfortunately 67. how 68. performer 69. humorous 0. satisfied 单词拼写：71.identify 72.adolescents 73.awkward 74.productive 75.anchored ‎ ‎ 76.responsibility77.sensitive 78.frightened 79.Judging 80. committed
