Meeting Dan changed everything. Early in our dating, he told me of his dream to own a farm. ‎ ‎“Don’t cows kick?” I worried when I saw the huge cattle. Dan laughed. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Just try milking a few times a day. You’ll get used to them.” After six months, I still was too nervous to try it. ‎ ‎ One evening I heard the low mooing of the cows in their lot. Then I heard the cows again, but louder. I looked out of the window. A storm was coming. Suddenly I saw a cow running past the window. Another cow passed, and a third one moved into the yard. “Dan!” I shouted—then remembered he had gone into town. I rushed back into the house and pulled on my coat. The noise had roused the children, and they called to me from upstairs. “Stay inside,” I shouted as I went out of the door, “no matter what!” I was running to the yard. Suddenly the hundred cows turned and were coming in my direction! Beside me there was an old gate leading into an empty lot. I threw myself against the gate. Got it! And all at once the cows entered the lot.‎ ‎ When Dan got home, I told him the story. “You rescued a whole herd of cows!” Dan said. Lying in bed beside Dan, I felt safe and comfortable. The next time I went out into the lot, I felt a little bigger beside the cows. And it wasn’t too long before I started milking.‎ ‎21. The writer was brave to start milking thanks to _______.‎ ‎ A. her children’s help B. a danger she experienced ‎ C. her husband’s encouragement D. getting on with the cows long ‎22.

She and her husband began to run a farm.‎ ‎ e. She was brave to start milking.‎ ‎ f. A storm roused the herd of cattle.‎ ‎ A. badfce B. cbdfae C. cbefda D. bcaefd ‎23. The underlined sentence “I felt a little bigger beside the cows” shows the ‎ writer _____.‎ ‎ A. felt the cows grew a little bigger ‎ B. felt she was a bit bigger than the cows ‎ C. was able to fight against the cows. ‎ D. was not as afraid of the cows as before ‎ ‎ B Here are some schools in Southeast England.

It has the most modern facilities D. It has three studying sites C Some birds are masters of crime (犯罪). That means these species steal food from other birds and get away with it. Scientists have long wondered what these birds have in common. A new study suggests that big body size does not predict bad behavior. Instead, it is the size of the birds’ brains that matters most.‎ To learn more about what makes some birds tend toward a life of crime and how they steal food from other birds, scientists analyzed 856 published reports of thieves. Researcher Julie says she started the project after watching birds steal dry dog food out of unattended bowls. She read about some dramatic examples of thieves, including birds that steal food from others flying in midair or bending through the sky. She learned that members of some species disturb other birds until they spit up food in their mouth.‎ Families that steal also tend to eat fish, mice, and other vertebrates (脊椎动物) instead of just insects. These meatier (多肉的) meals are hard to catch, and they deliver lots of valuable calories, so they are tempting to steal.‎ Finally, birds that steal tend to have big brains in relation to their bodies. That may seem surprising, since human bullies (欺凌弱小者) are often thought to be stronger in size.‎ But for birds, stealing isn’t about strength. It takes a clever brain to get food out of another hungry bird’s claws, especially if that bird is bigger than you are.‎ ‎28. The best title for the passage can be _______.‎ A. Diet Habits of a Feather B. Hunting Skills of a Feather C. Brains of a Feather D. Thieves of a Feather ‎29. What is the key factor of the birds’ stealing food?‎ ‎ A. Body size. B. Living environment. ‎ ‎ C. Brain size. D. Mouth length.‎ ‎30. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.‎ ‎ A. birds’ stealing isn’t related to their environment ‎ B. for birds, stealing is about cleverness and tricks ‎ C. birds steal food only from those that are smaller in size ‎ ‎ D. birds that steal have small brains for their bodies 第二节(共5个小题;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。‎ Like human beings, dogs may also catch a cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, or coughs, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught a cold. A dog can get over a cold after a few days.

He got drunk, fell off some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie (自拍).” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries. ‎ Oxford Dictionaries declared “Selfie”. In recent years, the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject center-stage, has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II to U.S. President Barack Obama joining in. ‎ But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful, and dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risk-taking behavior, such as hanging from a tall building, standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street. People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies, completely ignoring where they are. In fact, there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies. Several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety, warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies. ‎ ‎“Walt Disney World is also banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests,” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said under the new policy, guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances. ‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2018学年第一学期杭州八校联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科 试题参考答案 ‎ 杭州市富阳新登中学 胡君祥 Tel:15088765673 ‎ 第一部分: 听力(共20小题,每小题1分,满分20分)‎ I-5 ACBAA 6-10 CBBCA 11-15 ABBCA 16-20 CCBAB ‎ 第二部分: 阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)‎ ‎21-25 BADDB 26-30CCDCB 31-35 GDBEC 第三部分: 语言运用(共三节,满分40分)‎ 第一节:完形填空(共15小题。每小题1分,满分15分)‎ ‎36-40 ACBDA 41-45 CDBAB 46-50DABCD ‎ 第二节:语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,满分15分)‎ ‎51. waiting 52. a 53. who/that 54. to stop 55.

B 推理判断题。第三、四、五段记叙的是作者在暴风雨中奋力使奶牛脱险的经历,正是这段经历使作变 得勇敢起来,最终敢于挤奶了。 ‎ ‎22.C 排序题。纵观全文可知故事梗概:作者少女时期梦想有一条德国犬→与Dan结婚→婚后与丈夫一起办起奶牛场→一场暴风雨袭来→作者奋力护救奶牛→作者敢于挤奶了。‎ ‎23.D 句意理解题。作者开始害怕被奶牛踢到不敢挤奶,最终经历了一场险情后克服了胆怯的心理障碍后敢于挤奶了。所以本句的含义应为:作者感到自己强大起来了,不再像以前那样害怕奶牛了。‎ C篇【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍一些鸟儿是怎样偷食以及它们为何偷食。‎ ‎28.D 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍一些鸟儿是怎样偷食以及它们为何偷食,其次根据第一段第一句:有些天 生就是犯罪的主,可知以D项为标题有吸引力。‎ ‎29.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Instead, it is the size of the birds” brains that matters most.”可知:鸟儿偷到食物的决定性要素是它的大脑。故选C。‎ ‎30.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段后部分所讲的鸟儿偷食技巧以及最后一段所讲的鸟儿偷食靠的不是蛮力而是聪明,可推断出:鸟儿偷食关乎智商和技能。故选B。‎ 完形填空:‎ ‎36. A 联系后面的dragging himself可知是他的双腿(legs)被马车碾压。‎ ‎37. C 联系第50空后面的beggar可知他一路讨饭(beg)。‎ ‎38. B 他2天没吃(eaten)东西了,因为没人施舍他了。‎ ‎39. D 根据后文be off with you(滚开)可知人们对他大吼大叫(shout)。‎ ‎40.

What was the secret to my success?‎ First I looked through the Internet for do-it-yourself advice that people could follow to lose weight. Of course I saw countless ads which try to get me to buy their products. But I bought nothing. The only thing I did was to change my bad habits. So I stopped drinking or eating sweet food. And I never ate after 6: 30 pm. Besides, I did light exercise for 15 to 20 minutes five days a week.‎ Then I kept doing what I should do. The most important thing is to stick with it until you lose weight. ‎
