集宁一中2019—2020学年第一学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题 本试卷满分为150（120×1.25）分，考试时间为100分钟 第一卷（选择题 共70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）‎ 一、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ A For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble. When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can annoy you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.‎ ‎● ‎Marriott‎ Detroit ‎Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. ‎ ‎● Hyatt Regency Minneapolis ‎ I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk(自助终端) check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.‎ ‎● Radisson LaCrosse ‎     The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.‎ ‎1.Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?‎ A. Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.‎ B. Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York.‎ C. Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.‎ D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.‎ ‎2. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?‎ A. Yotel New York. ‎ B. Marriott Detroit Airport.‎ C. Radisson LaCrosse. ‎ D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.‎ ‎3. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Fast Ways To Check Out ‎ B. Three Hotels With Easy Checkout C. Comfortable Hotels At Your Service D. Hotels For The Travelers B One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).‎ On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!‎ One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and ‎ ‎“dying”, which sounded ominous.‎ Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year.” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.‎ The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. “What? He's all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”‎ ‎“Thank God.” I heard Mum cry.‎ From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!‎ ‎4. What happened to the author on September 11th 1958?‎ A. He got a baby brother ‎ B. He got a Christmas gift ‎ C. He became four years old ‎ D. He received a doll ‎ ‎5.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. impossible. B. boring C. difficult D. fearful ‎6. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?‎ A. Excitement. B. Happiness. C. Sadness. D. Disappointment.‎ ‎7. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A sad Christmas day ‎ B. Life with a lovely baby ‎ C. A special Christmas gift. ‎ D. Memories of a happy family C What will man be like in the future — in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.‎ Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of ‎ the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.‎ Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.‎ On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.‎ But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.‎ Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.‎ ‎8. The passage mainly tells us .‎ A. man’s life will be different in the future B. what man will be like in the future C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. human’s organs’ functions will become weak ‎9. The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because .‎ A. he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on ‎10. What will be true about a human being in the future?‎ A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.‎ B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.‎ C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won't have to make use of them.‎ D. He will think and feel in a different way.‎ ‎11. It is implied that .‎ A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.‎ B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（退化）.‎ C. human beings hope for a change in the future life.‎ D. future life is always predictable.‎ D How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.‎ Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia, studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six. “Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the leading author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers. She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”‎ Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said. “The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”‎ ‎12. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?‎ A. By asking questions. ‎ B. By making comparison.‎ C. By having a discussion. ‎ D. By referring to documents.‎ ‎13. What can we learn from Dr. Lisa Smithers’s words?‎ A. A kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.‎ B. This study helps parents find feeding problems.‎ C. Quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.‎ D. This study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.‎ ‎14. What’s the difference between this study and the previous ones?‎ A. It associates early postnatal diet with IQ.‎ B. It pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies.‎ C. It emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.‎ D. It first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.‎ ‎15. What’s the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.‎ B. Babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.‎ C. Full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies (早产儿).‎ D. The more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.‎ 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。‎ It’s very common these days for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week.
