Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.‎ Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are 第 10页 共 10页 ‎ not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.‎ Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.‎ But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National‎ ‎Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.‎ ‎60. What does this passage mainly tell us?‎ A. High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.‎ B. New measures to transport school students.‎ C. The safest form of student transportation.‎ D. The origin of Walk to School Day.‎ ‎61. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.‎ A. changing some bus routes ‎ B. stopping some bus routes C. asking parents to drive children to and from school D. using other types of fuels ‎62. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.‎ A. save more fuels and diesel for the country B. keep the children safe on their way to school C. make the children live a simple life D. keep the children healthy and the environment clean C Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effects towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.‎ Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皱纹）shows on the bed-covers.‎ There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as (取得…的资格)“your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias（百科全书）or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?‎ As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles（琐事）go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.‎ ‎63. According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.‎ ‎ A. to realize the quality of the work ‎ B. to pay attention to details of one’s work ‎ C. to do as many jobs as possible 第 10页 共 10页 ‎ D. to form the habit of doing things ahead of time ‎64. The underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _______‎ ‎ A. badly B. patiently C. carefully D. slowly ‎65. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?‎ ‎ A. It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay. ‎ ‎ B. Websites are the sources of information you want.‎ ‎ C. Perfection is a habit that promises a good future.‎ ‎ D. You should make much effort to develop perfection.‎ ‎66. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.‎ ‎ A. introduce the famous painter Michelangelo ‎ B. advise us to do the things that are worth doing ‎ C. explain to us the meaning of the perfection ‎ D. expect us to give our best to our work D ‎ Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.‎ ‎ Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.‎ ‎ It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.‎ ‎67. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.‎?‎ A. Love         B. Politeness     C. Joy       D. Thankfulness 68. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can ________.‎ A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelings ‎ C. be used in the wrong places     ‎ D. show personal habits 69. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?‎ A. Learn about their relations with others B. Understand their cultural backgrounds C. Find out about their past experience 第 10页 共 10页 D. Figure out what they will do next ‎70. What would be the best title for the test?‎ ‎ A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationships C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ ‎( 若选E涂AB，选F涂AC，选G涂AD。)‎ 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。‎ Money Matters Parents should help children understand money. 71 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.‎ ‎1. The basic function of money Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It’s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员). 72 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.‎ ‎2. Money lessons Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 73 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”‎ ‎3. 74 ‎ Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money, 75 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.‎ A. Wise decisions B. The value of money C. Permit the child to choose between them.‎ D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.‎ E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.‎ F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.‎ G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.‎ 第二卷（共45分）(请把答案写在答案页上)‎ 第一节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 英语课上,老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号∧，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线＼划掉。‎ 修改：在错词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ 第 10页 共 10页 ‎2、只允许修改10处，多者从第11处不计分。‎ I went to Shanghai Expo on last week．At the gate I happened to meet some ‎ America tourists．I greeted him in English and then we began to chat．I got to ‎ know that they were college students travel in China．They were busy with taking ‎ pictures and were much impressed with the changes had taken place in the past few ‎ years．After which, we visited China Pavilion and had a good time．We exchanged our ‎ email address so that we could write to each other on the future．They thanked me ‎ again and again．I was very glad to have a chance to practising my oral English 第二节：书面表达（满分30分）‎ 提示：‎ ‎ (1) 不少学生可能抽烟，学生中抽烟的人数还在增多。‎ ‎ (2) 一份调查报告透露，某校有五分之二以上的学生抽烟，有些学生甚至偷了钱买烟。 ‎ ‎(3) 对中学生来说，抽烟的危害比成年人更大。抽烟不仅有害于身体，还有害于思想。‎ ‎ (4) 中学生是国家未来的建设者。抽烟的学生该下决心戒烟了。 ‎ 请根据上面的提示，写一篇题为“Give Up Smoking”的短文，字数约120个。 ‎ Give Up Smoking 第 10页 共 10页 高二期中考试英语试题答案 短文改错：‎ ‎1. on last去掉on 2.
