Having a proper one in your home is an easy but necessary part of good emergency preparation. Pick a good container One good choice is a large translucent plastic container, which makes it easy to see the materials inside. Lunchboxes are also another good choice. Basically, if it’s big enough, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a good container. Regardless of your container choice, it should be easy to recognize, so write   “FIRST AID” on it with a marker. Teach your family about the kit For younger children who shouldn’t use the items in the kit, teach them where it’s located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter. For older children and adults, instruct them on how to use the items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet, like those available from the American Red Cross for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference. Keep your kit up–to–date No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired (过期了的). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly. Create a checklist in the kit Record every item on a sheet of paper and keep it in the kit. Besides, record the amounts of the items and expiration dates next to the listed items on the checklist that you include in your kit. In this way, anyone who wants to reach the kit can immediately know what it includes and doesn’t include. Also, they can be clear whether the items can be used. 21．Which is close to the meaning of the underlined word “translucent”? A．Wide. B．Advanced. C．Clear. D．Strong. 22．What should the young children be told about the home first aid kit? A．How to use the items. B．What it contains. C．Where to place it. D．When to fetch it. 23．Why should the home first aid kit be examined regularly? A．To make it clean and tidy. B．To make sure it’s available. C．To be familiar with the items. D．To learn to deal with emergencies. B Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating. Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories more during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better. Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find. We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on. Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night. Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office. 24．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be. B．Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruits and vegetables are equally important. C．It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten. D．It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day. 25．The underlined word “raisins” most probably means . A．dried grapes B．peach leaves C．pieces of cheese D．peanuts 26．Who is this passage intended for? A．Students. B．Office workers. C．Housewives. D．Cooks. 27．How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage? A．5. B．6. C．7. D．8. C A Thief in the Night James worked as a mechanic in a garage located in the centre of NewYork City. One day, When he finished his work, it was already very late and the last bus had gone. So James had to walk home. In order to get home quicker, he decided to take a shortcut through Central Park. It was dark and there were very few people in the park. James hardly met any one on the path he was taking. Naturally he had some fear. Robbery and murder were often reported in the neighbourhood. But James had no other choice. Then somewhere in the middle of his path James saw someone coming towards him from the opposite direction. He could not see the stranger clearly but he could tell it was a man of average build, just like himself. His fear began to grow. He tried not to look at the stranger and decided to veer so as to avoid him. But when he veered, the stranger veered too. Unfortunately they veered in the same direction and bumped in passing. When the stranger had gone, James was a little relieved. However, a few minutes later, James had a feeling that the bumping could hardly have been an accident. Why did the stranger veer in the same direction as me? He recalled newspaper reports that thieves pretended to bump into people and picked their pockets. With this thought, James felt for his wallet in his pocket. It was gone. James had no doubt that the stranger was a thief and had taken his wallet. Anger made him turn around. He caught up with the stranger and bravely demanded his wallet. The man gave it to him and went away. When James got home, the first thing he saw was his wallet lying on the bed. There was no way to avoid the truth: He had robbed somebody. 28. Why did James take a shortcut through Central Park? A. He wanted to get home quicker. B. He’s late for the last bus. C.

Wu is 11 years old now, who moved to Botswana with his family in 2016. During the past years living in the country, Wu found that the quantity of fruit and vegetables sold at local supermarkets was very limited and the quality was poor. Some vegetables weren’t ripe, such as small carrots and green tomatoes. They are also quite expensive. Tropical savanna (草原) and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country. This makes it difficult to grow common crops. Drought-tolerant species of corn, sorghum and beans are also uncommon. For a long time, due to the food shortage, Botswana had to import many grains, fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries to meet the needs of its people. In July last year, Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, successfully kicked off a pilot project to grow China’s water-saving and drought-tolerant rice. This brought Wu some new ideas on local agriculture. The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally. These include tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots, cabbage, eggplant and radishes. Farmers who use the application can click on the crop picture. They can see its time points of planting, watering needs, ripening time, seed price, selling price and yield. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start. The application reminds them what to do at each stage. Wu, whose invention has been moving the needle for the life of Botswana farmers, still focuses on solving agricultural problems. He quotes an old saying in China, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and he feeds himself for life. ” 32. Which can be the main reason for Botswana’s food shortage? A. Limited supplies in local markets. B. Unfavourable climate conditions. C. Lack of advanced farming techniques. D. Frequent threats from natural disasters. 33. What does the underlined words “kicked off” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Carried out. B. Got rid of. C. Gave away. D. Took over. 34. How can Wu’s application make farmers’ work easier? A. It improves local planting environment. B. It identifies the commonly grown crops. C. It teaches farmers when to plant the seeds. D. It provides basic information of the crops. 35. Which can best describe Wu from the last paragraph? A. Helpful and creative. B. Caring and modest. C. Optimistic and ambitious. D. Considerate and faithful. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Simple Steps to Manage Your Money Your money and how you manage it are some of the most important things in your life.

Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.” I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit（数字涂色小套装） I had seen at the store around the comer. I decided to empty my coin jar（存钱罐） and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved. Suddenly a "great”idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change（零钱） on top of the dresser（梳妆台）. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought. However, I was soon overcome by guilt（负罪感）. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket. I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. " Where are you going, Arwen? " Mom asked, " Oh, just up to the corner store," I replied. "Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house. Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf. "Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked. "No. I'm just looking, thank you," I said. "That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one. " she said. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. Paragraph 2: I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 8 页 共 10 页 ) 涡阳二中命题中心研制 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语第三次测试试题答案 听力 1-5 CACAB 6-10 CABBA 11-15 BACBC 16-20 BCBCA 阅读理解 21-23 CCB 24- 27 BABB 28-31 ABCD 32-35BADA 36-40 GACEF 完形填空 41-45 DCAAB 46-50 DBCAC 51-55 BDABA 语法填空 56.have created 57.found　58. or 　59.be used　60.the 61.Traditionally　62.by 63.higher　64.added 65. dependence 书面表达 Dear David, There is going to be a film about the Dragon Boat Festival in the English club，this Saturday.

Finally, I decided to place the paint-by-number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, when I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack — just like they were before — and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing. Paragraph 2: I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The saleswoman had even agreed that she would hold the paint kit behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I somehow managed to earn the money I needed and bought the kit just one day before Johnny’s birthday. When Johnny opened the gift box at his birthday party, he was wild with joy. “Thank you so much, Arwen.” Johnny said, “This kit is so special!” “Can’t agree more, Johnny.” I smiled with content. 涡阳二中命题中心研制 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
