There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.‎ I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, "I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.‎ This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.‎ Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.‎ Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.‎ We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.‎ ‎21. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ___________.‎ A. her unique way to locate herself B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D. her growing desire to know the world around her.‎ ‎22. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.‎ A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for leaning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world ‎23. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Magic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Growing Up with Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man B For years, experts have been encouraging people to exercise, using steps as simple as taking the stairs instead of a lift and walking to work, where possible. A recent study bolsters this advice, which shows that frequent active exercise throughout the day can have great health benefits.‎ The study, published in the magazine Prevent Medicine, found that just 2 minutes of stair climbing several times a day can lower total cholesterol(胆固醇), raise HDL ("good") cholesterol and improve the heartbeat in young women who do not have much activity during the day. "Such improvements may have important effects on the health of women; since, like cigarette smoking, poor fitness has been shown to be a strong, graded, and independent risk factor for heart disease, which causes death in women," said Dr. Colin Boreham with the University of Ulster in Belfast,‎ ‎ Ireland, and the fellow researchers of his study group. Furthermore, improvements in total cholesterol levels achieved in the study could cut the rate of heart disease in women by a third, they noted.‎ The team of researchers from Britain studied 12 women between 18 -22 years old, before and after the exercise program. The women used a public staircase for about 2 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Compared with a group of 10 women who did not take part in the stair-climbing program, the women who climbed stairs showed marked improvements in health and fitness levels after 7 weeks. However, they did not show any signs of weight loss. "A short term stair-climbing program can give great health benefits to young women. Stair-climbing may be a particularly suitable way of combining exercise with an individual's daily lifestyle." they pointed out.‎ Experts advise visiting your doctor before beginning a new exercise program.‎ ‎24. The underlined word "bolsters" (Paragraph 1) means _________.‎ A. seeks                 B. offers              C. supports           D. follows ‎25. According to the study done by Dr. Boreham and his group, improvements in cholesterol levels are important in _________.‎ A. helping people to give up smoking B. enabling people to take exercise C. helping people to lose weight D. preventing people from having heart disease ‎26. What is the main subject of the second and third paragraphs?‎ A. Research findings of a stair-climbing program.‎ B. Causes of heart disease in young women.‎ C. Major contents of the magazine Prevent Medicine.‎ D. A report of a comparative study by Irish and British scientists.‎ ‎27. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to Prevent Heart Disease --- What Do Doctors Say?‎ B. Good Health Advice ---Take the Stairs C. Stair-climbing Attracts More D. Yes, Exercise Is Good for You C Some 30,000 years ago, artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them: panthers, hyenas, rhinos, cave lions, mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time.‎ The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered. They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23,000 years.‎ Fast forward to December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Marie Chauvet, who led the group then, describes the process of discovering the cave paintings. “At that time I was in the front, Eliette just walked behind me, Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre(赭石) and she said, ‘They came here.’ And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art(壁画). That is where it started.”‎ Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.”‎ Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork. Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written. The United Nations’ cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site. They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.‎ The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it. However, its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.‎ However, French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont d’Arc Cavern. The copy, which we also called replica, cost more than 59 million dollars to build. It opened at the end of April in France.‎ Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern. He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe. He says the place is magic because it is done so well. Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d’Arc Cavern every year.‎ ‎28 .According to Jean Clottes words in Paragraph 4, the paintings in the cave were .‎ A. abstract B. superior C. creative D. inspiring ‎29 .Which of the follow statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave?‎ A. It was closed off for more than 30,000 years.‎ B. It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art.‎ C. The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage.‎ D. The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals.‎ ‎30 .The purpose of creating Pndt d’Arc Cavern is to .‎ A. show admiration for the earliest artists in Europe B. arouse visitors’ awareness of protecting ancient art C. offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artwork D. collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 31 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.‎ l Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 32 ‎ l Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 33 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里)burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.‎ l ‎ 34 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.‎ l ‎ 35 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.‎ There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.‎ A. You will stick to your diet.‎ B. Your quality of sleep improves.‎ C. You prefer healthy food to fast food.‎ D. There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.‎ E. You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.‎ F.

She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 36 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.‎ All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 37 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 38 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.‎ But how could I help her 39 in with us? There had to be a 40 .‎ One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 41 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 42 copy.‎ I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 43 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 44 . “Wow, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 45 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 46 . Could you help me, Suzy?”‎ On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 47 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.‎ ‎ “And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) 48 award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 49 them.”‎ I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 50 well?”‎ Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 51 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 52 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”‎ Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.‎ I 53 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 54 anything in her whole life.‎ Everyone started to 55 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.‎ ‎36. A. joked B. cared C. trains D. worried ‎37.

I assumed I was being sent to pick up some partygoers, or someone who had just had a fight with a lover, or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.‎ When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, many drivers just honk(按喇叭) once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.‎ Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door.‎ This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause,the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me .She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.‎ The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets .There were no clocks on the walls, no equipment on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.‎ ‎“Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took the suitcase to the cab,then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the cab.‎ She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”‎ 注意:‎ ‎1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Having given me an address,a hospice(救济院),she asked,“Could you drive through downtown?”(穿过市区)___________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ We drove in silence to the address he had given me, and it..._____________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 高二英语期中参考答案 听力:1-5 CCBAA 6-10 BBACB 11-15 CACAB 16-20 ABACB ‎ 阅读:21--23 DDC 24--27 CDAB 28--30 BCC 31-35 GEFBA 完型:36-40ABCCD 41-45CBDDC 46-50BDAAB 51-55DABCA 语法:56. dangerous 57. was attacked 58. incidents 59. whether 60. walking ‎ ‎61. to injure 62. a 63. prevents 64. from 65.

I will share with you some tips on prevention.‎ First, don’t get together and try your best not to go out. Second, wear a mask if going out and remember to wash your hands frequently. Third, do some exercise indoors, which will build up your body to fight against the virus.‎ I hope my ways are of some help to you. Best wishes.‎ ‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua 范文二(91 words): ‎ Dear Jim,‎ Sorry to know that COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in America. Here I am writing to give you some suggestions to prevent yourself from being infected.‎ Firstly, don’t gather with friends and stay indoors to avoid unnecessary contact. Secondly, it’s necessary to wear a face mask when you go out and wash hands frequently to protect yourself from the scattered virus. Besides, it’s of vital importance to exercise more to strengthen your body, boosting the immune system.‎ I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Best wishes.‎ ‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua 续写范文:‎ Having given me an address, a hospice, she asked,“Could you drive through downtown?” Asked why we didn’t take the shortest way, the small woman told me it was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing. At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.‎ We drove in silence to the address she had given me, and it was a low building, where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair. When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I ‎ said nothing and bent to give her a hug. It was my assistance that helped one of weak people realize her wish.‎
