B Liu Lingli has been a teacher for hearing-impaired （听力障碍） children for 33 years, and thanks to her help and devotion, more than 20 of the over 80 students she has taught have received higher education. Liu, 51, was born in Hengyang, Hunan province, in 1973. And her first interaction with people with disability was with one of her neighbors, surnamed Wang. Liu was a child then. One day in the winter, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language to communicate with her. But Liu could not understand what she was trying to say. It was Wang’s husband who told Liu that she wanted to make her a scarf. “Even as a child, I was moved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said. The incident left a mark on Liu. At the age of 14, she decided to major in teaching hearing-impaired students, and gained admission to Nanjing Normal University of Special Education. After four years, she graduated with a secondary vocational degree and became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education. She remembers clearly that there were 14 students in her class. Although she was only 18 at the time, she treated the students as her children, and practiced sign language in front of the mirror for one to two hours every day till she mastered it. Apart from teaching her class together, she also has one-on-one sessions with each student for 20 minutes every day. For her contributions to society, especially her work with the hearing-impaired, Liu Lingli was elected as a deputy to the National People’s Congress last year, and fulfilled the heavy responsibility of speaking for people with disability. Her story also inspired more people to do more for disabled people. 4. What can we learn about Liu Lingli from the first two paragraphs? A. She enabled her students to hear well. B. She was a teacher when she first met Wang. C. She had difficulty in understanding Wang’s husband. D. She helped about a quarter of her students receive higher education. 5. What likely served as Liu Lingli’s initial motivation to help the disabled? A. An unhappy incident. B. A gift from a stranger. C. Her interaction with Wang. D. Wang’s kind suggestion. 6. What can be inferred about Liu Lingli’s teaching approach from the text? A. She does not use sign language in her teaching. B. She prefers group lessons to individual sessions. C. She uses modern educational tools in her teaching. D. She provides personalized attention for each student. 7 Which of the following can best describe Liu Lingli? A. Caring and committed. B. Responsible but rigid. C. Curious and adventurous. D. Generous but stubborn. C With the development of new media, the promotion of Mandarin (普通话) and the wave of globalization, the range of application for dialects (方言) has become smaller. Dialects, to some extent, are a culmination (积淀) of local culture. If they are not protected and healthily passed down, this “crisis” might lead to their disappearance. However, since the concept of “language resource” was introduced, the status of dialects has been given renewed importance. Dialects are a living form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) . As the saying goes, “It’s better to sell ancestral (祖先的) land than to abandon ancestral language.” For the recording and preservation of dialects, creating a language environment in which they can enjoy a period of growth and success is vitally important. Folk songs, local operas, dialect courses, community involvement, technological methods, and literary and artistic works can all play significant roles in the protection and inheritance (传承) of dialects. Cao Xueqin was a native of Nanjing, and the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber is a distinguished family from Jinling (ancient Nanjing). According to statistics, there are over 1,000 instances of Nanjing dialect in the masterpiece. Shen Congwen’s Border Town vividly portrays a “world of Western Hunan”. The locals refer to copper coins as “tongzi”, the addition of “zi” suggesting it’s just a small object. This reflects the Western Hunan people’s indifference to material wealth. In Lao She’s Rickshaw Boy, the “er” sound is everwhere, full of Beijing flavor. In fact, the literary forms of Chinese dialect have been around since ancient times and are vivid with various flavors. Never forget your dialect and never forget the accent of your hometown. 8. What has happened to dialects since the introduction of the concept of language resource? A. They have been applied less. B. They have gained new recognition. C. They have completely disappeared. D. They have promoted the spread of Mandarin. 9. What does the saying underlined in paragraph 2 imply? A. Ancestral language should be preserved. B. Ancestral land should be developed. C. Ancestral language is a fixed form. D. Ancestral land is more meaningful. 10. Why does the writer refer to the dialects in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber? A. To illustrate the complicated relationship. B. To demonstrate their extensive usage. C. To convey the distinctive Beijing culture. D. To describe the personalities of the characters. 11. In which column of a magazine can you find the text probably? A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Health. D. Economy. D A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 12. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 13. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 14. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds 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。 Do you spend too many nights trying to fall asleep? You are not alone.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. Though I was happy to have the opportunity to see my friends after a long summer break, I could not help but think about what classes I was going to attend. As I reached the classroom doors, my heart raced faster and I had butterflies in my stomach. Seeing the letters reading “Welcome Freshmen” on the door, I took a deep breath as though I was going to perform in front of people. I opened the door, thinking that the class would be quiet, but it was filled with freshmen who were chatting with each other. I sat at the first empty desk I saw. The teacher was not there, so I began to chat with others, too. Minutes later, our teacher entered. She was short in height and had black, silky hair. The frown (皱眉) on her face gave me an impression that she had a strong character but after her short introduction, I believed she was a very nice woman. Her name was Mrs. Hutchinson. She handed the class our first task: to write about what you would want to be or what your dream job would be ten years from now. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，务必将自己的姓名、考号和班级填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，务必擦净后再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What are the speakers talking about?

Lastly, you had better practice singing every day. I wish you would stand out in the contest. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. A mix of confusion and curiosity flooded over me. I looked around, and everyone else seemed to be writing with purpose and determination, except for me. Mrs. Hutchinson noticed my expression and came over to me with a warm smile, “Dream big, and chase what makes you happy.” Taking a deep breath, I decided to write about my dream of becoming a teacher. In the following years, Mrs. Hutchinson was always there, providing guidance and advice whenever I needed it. With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. At the start of my senior high school, I thought thinking about my future was the most challenging experience. However, it turned out that what I wrote that day set the course for my future. Now, as I stepped onto the college campus, I felt a sense of excitement and purpose. I was ready to embark on the next chapter of my journey, one that would lead me to become the teacher I had always dreamed of being. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
