高 二 英 语 一、 阅读理解 (2×20=40) A Are there any foreigners in your city? How do you address(称呼) them in English when you want to talk to these foreigners? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow. 1. When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. In most cases, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as “Excuse me”. 2. In British English “Sir” and “Madam” are considered to be too formal for most situations. They are used mostly to customers in shops or restaurants .While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you don’t know. 3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names directly. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Ms.”, etc, before their family names. 4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men. If you meet foreigners, do remember not to address them in wrong ways. 1.According to the passage, “Excuse me” is mainly used to _______. A. address a person you don’t know B. apologize to others C. catch the attention of a stranger D. suggest good manners 2.If John Smith is your best friend, according to the passage you should often call him______. A. John B. Smith C. Mr. John D. Mr. Smith 3.What is the title of this passage? A. Foreigners in Your City B. How to Introduce Others C. Politeness Education D. How to Address Foreigners B The United States is full of cars. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life. Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors' as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work. More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars. 4.The United States is filled with cars, but . A. not every family has a car B. few families have two cars or even more C. every American has a car D. every family has a car 5.Which statement is true according to the third paragraph? A. Mothers drive their children who can't walk to school. B. All children go to school by bus in some cities. C. Small children are driven to school. D. School buses pick up all children. 6.Mothers form car pools in order that . A. they can drive to school B. they can drive their children to school in time. C. they reach school quickly D. they can take turns driving their children to school. 7.The traffic in and around cities is a great problem because . A. too many cars are being driven B. there are too many car pools C. people put fewer cars on the roads D. there is less gas C Dear John, My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you’ve shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me. I read your blog every Monday morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn’t until this March that I told myself “no more negativity” as you taught readers in your blog. Since then I’ve got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I’m the first face they see, so I smile big when I say “good morning” to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted. One of the biggest things I’ve taken to heart from your blog is changing my perspective on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate (热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling. All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction. Take care! sincerely, Amber 9. Amber wrote the letter mainly to ________. A. introduce herself to John B.ask for some advice C.express her thanks D. talk about her bad year. 10. We can infer from the passage that Amber ________. A. didn’t like her boyfriend B. spent a lot of time online C. wasn’t satisfied with her job D. received very good education 11. What is implied about John in the letter? A. He is a very famous writer. B.He likes helping others by writing positive blogs. C. He doesn’t like sharing his life stories. D.He used to live a negative life. 12. What does Amber’s change tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Bad luck doesn't exist long. C.. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. A positive attitude is rewarding. D You may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(启迪). ●Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin And now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps ... You must also commit to the adventure.

Rowling, Harvard University Half my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure.

Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. ●Bill Gates, Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.

Love strengthens the connection, while anger tears it apart. 2.Give Freedom It doesn't matter whatever position you have in a family; you need to give freedom to the other members of it. 18 Freedom is one of the most basic needs of humanity and one of the greatest gifts in life. 3.Learn to Forgive There will always be differences in personalities and preferences between family members. Because of these differences, disagreements happen. And it's unwise to react straight away, to jump to conclusions and start an argument. 19 This gives you a better understanding and the ability to forgive more easily. 4.Look for Solutions Family life is not a battlefield. Do not focus on problems; instead focus on the solutions. Although we are all expected to be responsible for our actions, it still feels more comfortable for some to put the blame on others. 20 This is one of the fastest ways to bring you closer to your family. A.No one likes to be ruled all the time. B.Stop the blame game, and look for solutions. C.Spending some time with family members is one can strengthen our family connections. D.A house is not a home, when there is no one there to hold you tight. E.In a close relationship there will be a lot of arguments, disharmony and disagreements. F.Whether you have a close relationship with your family depends on you. C.Spending some time with family members is one can strengthen our family connections.
