江苏省滨海中学2019-2020学年高二下学期延假期间阶段检测一英语试题

高二年级延假期间阶段检测一 ‎ 英 语 试 题 ‎ 时间：100分 分值：100分 ‎ ‎ 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A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ A Considering that Sundarbans National Park is situated in the tropics，September to March is the ideal time to come here．April，May and June are too hot while July and August often bring heavy season winds that limit travel and don’t make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience．You can really enjoy doing lots of charming things in the Sundarbans during September to March．‎ Take a river tour Most tourists who explore the Sundarbans arrive in Khulna City first．From there，you can join a boat tour that travels south along the Ganges River through miles of preserved forest all the way to Kotka，where there is a beautiful beach along the Bay of Bengal．‎ Visit a bird habitat This bird habitat is a nesting place for dozens of tropical birds found in the Sundarbans．The best way to observe these birds is climbing up the Sajnekhali Watchtower．If you’re lucky，you’11 also catch the famed Bengal Tiger making its rounds through the swampy jungle．‎ Visit the Mangrove(红树林)Interpretation Centre If you wish to spend some time indoors out of the sweaty heat，go to the Mangrove Interpretation Centre．This place is very educational with many posters，maps and exhibits showing the wildlife and varieties of mangrove plants found within the park．You’ll also get to see crocodiles in a small pool．‎ Take a tour of local villages Experience village life that has largely remained unchanged for centuries．In this vast tropical region，there are villages made up of various ethnic groups who rely on fishing，farming and working in the local through growing tourist industry for their livelihoods．The Sundarbans is a UNESCO world heritage site where you can visit villages and talk to locals，who will gladly share their culture with you．‎ ‎1. Which month is suitable for a visit to Sundarbans‎ ‎National Park?‎ A. December． B. August．‎ C. June． D. May．‎ ‎2. What can visitors do in the Mangrove Interpretation Centre?‎ A. See some plants and animals．‎ B. Put up posters about wildlife．‎ C. Feed crocodiles in a small river．‎ D. Observe birds by climbing up the trees．‎ ‎3. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To advertise some natural animal habitats．‎ B. To advocate the protection of forests in Khulna City．‎ C. To introduce several charming villages in the vast tropical region．‎ D. To show visitors something attractive to do in the Sundarbans．‎ B Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.‎ It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.‎ The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.‎ Actually, this isn’t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.‎ This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.‎ When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.‎ Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.‎ While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.‎ ‎4. What happens when a new technology appears?‎ A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields.‎ B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.‎ C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.‎ ‎ D. It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.‎ ‎5. What does the author say about the driverless car?‎ ‎　 A. It does not seem to create a generational divide. ‎ ‎　 B. It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.‎ ‎　 C. It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.‎ ‎　 D. It may start a revolution in the car industry.‎ ‎6. Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?‎ A. It helps with their moving. B. It saves their money and energy. ‎ C. It adds to the safety of their travel. 　 D. It makes their life more interesting.‎ ‎7. What is likely to affect one’s attitude toward the driverless car?‎ A. The field of their special interest. ‎ B. The location of their living place.‎ C. The amount of training they received. ‎ D. The length of their driving experience.‎ C Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.‎ ‎ “Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”‎ ‎ Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home. ‎ ‎ This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.‎ ‎“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $‎3,000 a year, just for travel.”‎ ‎ As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.‎ ‎ Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.‎ ‎“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”‎ More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.‎ This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.‎ ‎8. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.‎ A. travel fees B. financial concerns C. poor exam results D. worries about living far away from home ‎9. The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.‎ A. A text message B. A large gift package C. An admission letter D. A scholarship letter ‎10. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.‎ B. Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.‎ C. It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.‎ D. An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.‎ ‎11. The passage mainly focuses on ______.‎ A. the calculation of different costs including tuition B. the extremely hard financial situation in America C. the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges D. the financial crisis of families over college entrance D Landscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major source of our sense of history and identity. Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source. This is even more the case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors’ beliefs about their relation to the universe and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence. ‎ Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to have spent time in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirits of the people who shaped them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cusco, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or ‎ many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey through south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the world’s first cities. ‎ Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanity’s most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeological landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in around 2,500 BC—the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show. ‎ This unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west. While the National Trust and English Heritage have offered qualified support for the plan, UNESCO has expressed its opposition. Meanwhile, the Stonehenge Alliance, a group of archaeologists and environmental campaigners, says the plan is based on inadequate and obsolete information. In the end, the argument is about the totality of an ancient landscape, and that includes the ancient astronomical alignment that was purposefully chosen by our ancestors, and that will, in my view, be wrecked by the expressway interchange. Time perhaps for a rethink in the name of future generations?‎ ‎12. What can historical landscapes offer us?‎ A. Details of ancient lifestyle. B. Sacred writings C. Rich historical information D. Breathtaking sights.‎ ‎13. What did the author want to explore when touring historical landscapes?‎ A. Different architecture. B. His sense of belonging. ‎ C. The rise of ancient cities D. The spirits of ancestors.‎ ‎14. Which of the following is True about Stonehenge?‎ A. The landscape surrounding Stonehenge has rich layers of the present. ‎ B. New discoveries have solved the mysteries of the monument.‎ C. The ancient monument must have been the heart land of civilization.‎ D. The first stone circle has a longer history than the pyramids.‎ ‎15. What is the author’s attitude towards the projected plan by Highways England?‎ A. He is for it because it will benefit the future generations.‎ B. He keeps neutral but believes a better solution could be adopted.‎ C. It should be stopped because it will destroy the totality of the monument.‎ D. It is rather practical especially with qualified support from the government.‎ 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。‎ Things only people who have worked overseas can understand If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I’m pretty sure you can understand the following things!‎ We do not automatically become fluent (流利的) in another language.

I hadn’t ‎21 a cat or a dog in over 20 years. It was graceful to feel him and know that I was 22 the life of another creature. I believe that caring for something or someone 23 is what makes us human.‎ Over the next few days, I watched other prisoners 24 to the cat. They stood around talking and taking 25 petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group—not forcing people away, 26__ just watching and seeming to 27 it. ‎ Bowls of milk and water appeared, along with bread, 28 placed under the edge of the dustbin to 29 the seagulls（海鸥）from getting it. The cat was obviously in pretty bad 30 . One prisoner brought out his small 31 , and trimmed（修剪）for him.‎ People said, “That cat came to the right place. He’s getting 32 like a king.” This was true. But as I watched, I was also thinking about what the 33 was doing for us. ‎ There’s a lot of talk about what’s 34 with prisons in America. We need more 35 or treatment of various kinds. Some even talk about making prisons more kind, but I think what we ‎ really need is a chance to 36 kindness ourselves.

The truth is: it isn’t like that.(事实是：事情不是那样的)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选A。‎ 完型填空 ‎【解析】‎ 本文是记叙文。讲述了一只小橘猫进入了监狱，得到了监狱里囚犯的一致欢迎，说明正是因为人们身上存在的善良让我们成为人，作者从中认识到了善良的重要性。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我已经有20多年没有摸过小猫或小狗了。A. witnessed 见证； B. touched 碰触； C. fed 喂养； D. watched 观看。I was one of the first to go out there and pet it.作者第一个走出去摸一摸小橘猫，因为20多年没有碰过小猫了，故 选 B。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：能够触摸它，丰富它的生命让我充满感激。A. destroying 破坏； B. supporting 支持； C. enriching 丰富； D. leading 领导。I believe that caring for something or someone ___3___ is what makes us human.得知能照顾弱者丰富它们的生活让作者心里充满感恩。故 选 C。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：我相信照顾有需要的动物或人类让我们成为人。A. in order 有秩序； B. in place 恰当位置； C. in charge 负责； D. in need 有需要。根据caring for something or someone得知照顾那些需要照顾的动物或者人们。故 选 D。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：接下来几天，我看到其他囚犯在回应这只小猫。A. responding 回应； B. replying 回复； C. pointing 指着； D. waving 挥手。They stood around talking and taking ___5___ petting the cat.得知其他囚犯也对这只小猫有了回应，故 选 A。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们站在猫咪周围聊天，轮流抚摸小猫。A. chances 机 会； B. time 时 间； C. turns 轮流； D. courage 勇 气。take turns doing something轮流做某事，符合句意。故 选 C。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 考查连词词义辨析。句意：长官没有把囚犯们驱散，而是看着他们，似乎很享受这一场景。A. but 但 是； B. so 因 此； C. and 并 且； D. yet 然 而。I saw an officer in the group—not forcing people away,得知长官没有把囚犯驱散，而是，表示转折。故 选 A。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：长官没有把囚犯们驱散，而是看着他们，似乎很享受这一场景。A. make 制 作； B. enjoy 享 受； C. mind 介 意； D. dislike 不 喜 欢。I saw an officer in the group—not forcing people away,长官非但没有驱散大家，反而很享受。故 选 B。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 考查副词词义辨析。句意：装满牛奶，水和面包的碗明智地摆放在垃圾桶边缘下面。A. carelessly 粗 心 地； B. casually 随 意 地； C. wisely明智地；D. normally 正 常 地。the seagulls(海鸥)from getting it不让海鸥抢走猫咪的食物，碗摆放的很明智，故 选 C。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：装满牛奶，水和面包的碗明智地摆放在垃圾桶边缘下面，不让海鸥抢走猫咪的食物。A. protect 保 护； B. keep 保 存； C. guard 保 卫； D. drive 开 车。keep somebody from doing 保持…远离，故 选 B。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这只猫很显然毛长的没有形了。A. position 位 置； B. place 地 方； C. spirit精神；D. shape 形 状。由and trimmed(修剪)for him.得知，这只猫很显然毛长的没有形了。故 选 D。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 考查名词词义辨析。句意：有一个囚犯拿出剪刀修剪猫的毛。A. scissors 剪 刀； B. knives 刀 子； C. buttons 按钮；D. forks 叉 子。and trimmed(修剪)for him得知有一个囚犯拿出剪刀修剪猫的毛。故 选 A。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这只猫像一只国王一样被对待。A. fed 喂 养； B. praised 表 扬； C. treated对待；D. cured 治 愈。根据上文囚犯们精心照顾这只猫，想对待国王一样对待它。故 选 C。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我也在思考这只猫为我们在做些什么。A. family 家 庭； B. cat 猫咪； C. animal 动 物； D. prison 监 狱。前面都是囚犯们对猫咪的照顾，这里说的是猫咪也给我们做了一些事情 。故 选 B。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：关于美国监狱出了什么问题有很多的讨论。A. wrong 错 误 的； B. exciting 兴 奋 的； C. disappointing 失望的；D. bad 坏 的。We need more___15___ or treatment of various kinds.得知美国监狱有问题，what’s wrong with“......出了什么问题”，故 选 A。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们需要更多的心理专家或各种治疗。A. doctors 医 生； B. nurses 护 士； C. psychologists 心 理 专 家； D. pets 宠 物。or treatment of various kinds.和 下 文 的 he wasn’t a psychologist得 知, 表示囚犯们需要心理治疗，故 选 C。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我认为我们真的需要一个机会自己来练习善良。A. receive 收 到； B. practice 实践 ； C. enjoy 享 受； D. discuss讨 论。根据Some even talk about making ‎ prisons more kind得知,有人倡议让监狱善待囚犯，作者认为囚犯自己也要实践做个善良的人。故 选 B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：不是接受善意，而是给予善意。A. accept 接 受； B. give 给 予； C. welcome 欢 迎； D. refuse 拒 绝。Not receive it,得知,是给予而不是接受，故 选 B。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 考查副词词义辨析。句意：他们把小猫带走了，希望是带去一个舒服的家。A. hopefully 充 满 希 望 地； B. unfortunately 不 幸 地； C. finally 最 后地； D. wonderfully 奇 妙 地。to a comfortable home得知小猫被带走了，希望能到一个舒服的家。故 选 A。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 考查介词词义辨析。句意：让我开心的是看到小猫对我和这里其他人的影响。A. about 关 于； B. toward 朝 向； C. upon 上 面； D. for对 于。have an effect on/upon表示对......有影响，为固定短语，符合句意。故 选 C。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们也需要被需要。A. educated教 育；B. touched 碰 触； C. cared 关 心； D. needed 需 要。He needed us, … I believe we all do.我们每个人都需要被需要。故 选 D。‎
