兰州一中2017-2018-1学期期末考试试题 高二英语 ‎ 说明：本试卷分为第I卷（选择题卷）和第II卷（非选择题卷）。满分120分，考试时间100分钟。答案写在答题卡上，交卷时只交答题卡。‎ 第I卷 选择题（共三节，满分60分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D中选出最佳选项。‎ A The “Boomerang Kids” — young adults who leave to go to college, get married or just show off their independence — are moving back in with mom and dad. Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.‎ Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.‎ The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.‎ Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.‎ ‎1. Boomerang Kids are those who .‎ A. like to show off their independence B. have problem with their marriage C. graduate from college in advance D. return to live with parents after graduation ‎2. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that .‎ A. has advantages and disadvantages B. is very useful and beneficial C. will have a good result D. worries people a lot ‎3. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.‎ B. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.‎ C. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.‎ D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.‎ B Imitation might be considered the sincerest form of flattery (恭维), but if you take it too far in a job interview you could be giving the wrong impression to a potential employer.‎ Scientists have discovered too much imitating in a job interview situation leaves an employer thinking you are incompetent, untrustworthy and not very likeable. Studies have shown that gentle imitation usually acts as a social glue in human relationships; it can promote trust.‎ Two people who like each other will strengthen their bond by unconsciously imitating each other’s gestures in an unnoticeable way, such as leaning forward at the same time.‎ But in recent years, imitation has been used as conscious approach by people who want to succeed in business. However, the new research suggests this could cost your reputation. The study was conducted by the University of California’s psychology department.‎ Piotr Winkielman, a professor of psychology at the university in San Diego, said, “Imitation is an important part of social intelligence. But it is not enough to simply know how to imitate. It’s also important to know when and when not to. The success of mirroring depends on mirroring the right people at the right time for the right reasons. Sometimes the socially intelligent thing to do is not to imitate.”‎ The study asked people to watch several stage videotaped interviews, some of which featured a friendly interviewer while, in others, the same person was unapproachable. The people being interviewed in the videos imitated the interviewer’s simple gestures — such as leg-crossing or chin-touching. Interviewees were then evaluated on their general competence, trustworthiness and likeability by participants. Despite the fact that the participants were not instructed to watch for imitation and reported no awareness of it, it still influenced their evaluations. Interviewees who imitated the unfriendly ‘boss’ were judged to be less competent than those who didn’t and their unconscious mirroring was observed as an error.‎ Professor Winkielman added: “It’s good to have the capacity to imitate. But an important part of social intelligence is knowing how to use this ability in a selective, intelligent, situation-dependent manner, and understanding, when mirroring can reflect badly on you.”‎ ‎24. If you take imitation too far in a job interview, the interviewer may think you are .‎ A. incompetent B. smart C. trustworthy D. unfriendly ‎25. What do Piotr Winkielman’s words in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. People should avoid using imitation in a job interview.‎ B. People should know what social intelligence is.‎ C. Proper imitation involves lots of factors. D. Imitation is very difficult to learn.‎ ‎26. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Imitation can promote trust in an interview.‎ B. Body language is quite useful in an interview.‎ C. It’s not easy to imitate an interviewer’s behavior.‎ D. Improper imitation in an interview may cause trouble.‎ C Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (纳瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.‎ Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.‎ The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.‎ The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.‎ I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.[]‎ We used to plant com and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.‎ Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.‎ ‎7. From Paragraph 1 we can learn that .‎ A. children learn about the meaning of life from their grandparents.‎ B. grandparents are usually unwilling to teach their grandchildren.‎ C. schools are not very popular with the Navajo youth.‎ D. parents hate to take the trouble to raise children.‎ ‎8. The author’s grandmother planted corn and pumpkin because she .‎ A. hated wild flowers B. needed to feed her family C. tried to make her fence more beautiful D. wanted her grandson to learn a life lesson ‎9. In the author’s opinion, .‎ A. grandparents are the source of traditional culture.‎ B. his grandmother’s teaching could replace schooling.‎ C. the western world is hardly influenced by the Navajos.‎ D. it is impossible to get grandparents involved in teaching again.‎ ‎10. The purpose of the article is to .‎ A. honor the author’s grandmother B. share with readers a Navajo culture C. emphasize the greatness of Navajo D. introduce the development of Navajo tribes ‎ 第二节 ‎（共5小题；每题两分，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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone’s GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location. There are lots of great uses for this technology. 11 So make sure you’re permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it. Here’re some important points you may find helpful.‎ Choose what’s best for you. Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you’ve turned up at a particular spot. 12 Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting. Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.‎ Know who your friends are. 13 This means people can search to see if you’re online and add you as a friend. It’s important to remember that sharing your location with people you’ve never met in real life is risky, so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.‎ ‎ 14 Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will ‎ send it forever - until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.‎ Update parents. Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text. 15 If you’re heading home late at night, you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive, so they’ll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.‎ A. Check back often.‎ B. Keep sending your location.‎ C. However, these services are not for all children.‎ D. With its help, you can easily share your location with them.‎ E. Check-ins ease worries so they don’t have to follow your every move.‎ F. Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.‎ G. Some location services operate like Facebook, where you invite and accept friends.‎ 第三节 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。‎ That is a blue, cotton shirt.
