It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting, Snap the Whip. Until I retired from teaching it always hung in my classroom. I thought it truly captured(捕捉)the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting,a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes! During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before switching to education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her. She was really surprised, but very pleased to have it. I was pleased that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory for me. 4. How did the author treat his painting bought at the exhibition? A. He sold it immediately. B. He put it on his table. C.

This concern is not only related to the likelihood of increasing your chances of coming down with diseases such as heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病), but more importantly, to the loss of your eyesight. As we age the chance that we will develop age-related vision conditions and disorders increases. Therefore, many people believe that it’s very hard, if not impossible, to improve your vision naturally as you get older due to concerns that the visual system begins to deteriorate at that stage of life. These people also believe they’re stuck with their glasses or contacts for life. So the question is: can aging prevent you from improving your vision naturally? The answer to that question is no. While aging is inevitable(无法避免的)，when it comes to improving, protecting and preserving your precious eyesight, there are things you can do to reduce or slow the negative effects of aging on the visual system. For instance, you can take preventive steps in terms of nutrition and eye exercises that can reduce the negative effects of aging on the eyes. These simple-and-easy-to-perform techniques make the visual system stronger therefore helping you to improve your vision. They also improve the focusing power of the eyes through vision training eye exercise techniques. Additionally, eye exercises can improve blood flow and circulation to the visual system therefore improving your eyesight. The question is: can these eye exercises help improve vision even in older people? Well, the answer to this question is yes. According to a scientific research study performed by the National Institute on Aging, elderly adults can quickly improve their vision with a branch of eye exercises called Perceptual Training. Perceptual Training relates to the ability to improve various visual skills by exposing a person repeatedly to activities involving all kinds of stimuli(刺激物). This improves the way the brain processes visual information by strengthening the connection between the brain and eyes. 8. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Aging can cause various vision diseases. B. The elders tend to do little to protect their eyes. C. Aging population is a serious problem in the US. D. Heart disease is the main cause of old people’s death. 9. What is the misunderstanding about eyesight according to the text? A. The elders’ eyesight can actually return to normal. B. Wearing glasses is a good way to improve eyesight. C The elders’ eyesight is difficult to improve naturally. D. Preventive measures can reduce the risk of developing eyesight problems. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Become worse. B. Become stronger. C. Become simpler. D. Become more sensitive. 11. What does the study tell us in the last paragraph? A. How old people should do eye exercises. B. How the brain processes visual information. C. The vision problem is given great attention. D. Eye exercises can improve vision in elderly adults. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。很多人认为随着年龄的增长，自然地改善视力是非常困难的，但根据美国国家老龄化研究所的一项科学研究，老年人可以通过一种叫做感知训练的眼部锻炼来快速提高视力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“As we age the chance that we will develop age-related vision conditions and disorders increases.（随着年龄的增长，我们患上与年龄有关的视力疾病和障碍的几率会增加）”推知，年龄的增加会带来和老龄化相关的视力疾病。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Therefore, many people believe that it’s very hard, if not impossible, to improve your vision naturally as you get older （因此，许多人认为，随着年龄的增长，自然地改善视力即使不是不可能，也是非常困难的）”和“So the question is: can aging prevent you from improving your vision naturally?（所以问题是：衰老会阻止你自然地改善视力吗？）”，以及第三段的“The answer to that question is no. （答案是否定的）”可知，许多人认为老人的视力难以自然改善，其实不然。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“These people also believe they’re stuck with their glasses or contacts for life.（这些人还认为，他们会永远戴着眼镜或隐形眼镜）”可知，戴眼镜或隐形眼镜说明视力不好。由此推测，划线词所在句子“as you get older due to concerns that the visual system begins to deteriorate at that stage of life. ”意为“随着年龄的增长，由于担心视觉系统在生命的那个阶段开始变差”，即deteriorate意为“变差”。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“According to a scientific research study performed by the National Institute on Aging, elderly adults can quickly improve their vision with a branch of eye exercises called Perceptual Training.（根据美国国家老龄化研究所进行的一项科学研究，老年人可以通过一种称为知觉训练的眼部锻炼来快速改善视力）”可知，该研究告诉我们眼部锻炼可以改善老人的视力。故选D。 D You probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus, but what about your cell phone? Cell phones are basically mini-computers, so, believe it or not, they too can get viruses. “Viruses and malware（恶意软件）should not be a major concern to the average consumer who uses their device to make phone calls, take pictures, and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces,” Tim Katsch Vice President of iDropped said. “If a user is downloading a lot of apps, changing and exploring settings within the device, and visiting a large number of websites from unknown sources, virus and malware protection should be kept on their mind.” If your phone gets a virus it can mess up your data, put random charges on your bill, and get private information such as your bank account number, credit card information, passwords, and your location. The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app. Viruses can also get on your phone when you click on strange links or open up an email that contains a virus. Connecting to an unsecured wireless network in a public place is also a way for hackers（黑客）to get private information from your device. If you're still convinced that your phone might get a virus, there are anti-virus apps that you can download that will constantly scan your phone to make sure it hasn't developed a virus, Apps like these will also check things before you download them to ensure that they are safe. Another tip is to always look over your cell phone bill every month to make sure there aren't charges from apps that you never downloaded. Technology is getting smarter, but so are hackers, and it's important to always be cautious with anything you do on your phone. Many people store a lot of personal information on their phones, and while that might make life a little more convenient, it can also do a lot of damage if hacked. 12. What can we learn from Tim Katsch's words? A. The wireless network in the public places is safe to use. B. Viruses and malware will most probably attack average phones. C. Downloading a lot of apps will protect your phone from being hacked. D. The average consumer needn't worry much about a virus or malware. 13. What's the most common way that your phone gets a virus? A. Downloading an infected app. B. Clicking on close friends' links. C. Connecting to your mobile data. D. Changing your private information. 14. What does the last paragraph convey? A. Harm set, harm get. B. Every coin has two sides. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Technology makes life smarter. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Anti-Virus Apps Make Your Cell Phone Safe? B. Viruses and Malware Damage Your Cell Phone? C Worried About Your Cell Phone Catching a Virus? D. Ready to Fight Against the Hackers to Your Cell Phone? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文，文章介绍了手机感染病毒的原因并提出了保护手机免受病毒感染的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段Tim Katsch所说的话“Viruses and malware should not be a major concern to the average consumer who uses their device to make phone calls, take pictures, and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces” 病毒和恶意软件不应该成为普通消费者的主要担忧，他们使用他们的设备打电话，拍照，从主要的应用程序市场下载一些知名的应用程序。可知，普通手机用户没有必要过多担心手机感染病毒的问题，打电话、拍照和使用主流软件网站下载的知名软件是安全的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app.”手机感染病毒最常见的方式是下载受感染的应用程序。可知，手机在下载被感染的软件时最有可能感染病毒。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。智能手机是把双刃剑，给我们带来便利的同时，也可能给我们带来损失。因此，可以推断出B项Every coin has two sides“凡事都有两个方面”为正确答案。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文首句“You probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus, but what about your cell phone” 你可能采取了很多措施来保护你的电脑不受病毒感染，但是你的手机呢。首句点题，下文分析了手机感染病毒的原因并提出了保护手机免受病毒感染的建议。C选项“担心手机感染病毒?”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。 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。 Signs of Healthy Friendships Once in a while it’s helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don’t see the room for improvement.

True friends won’t pretend just to avoid an argument (争论). ____18____ As a result, you’ll know where you stand with your friends and won’t be afraid to share your true opinions. They argue in a healthy way. One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let’s face it everyone fights. ____19____ In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that’s okay. Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too. ____20____ That’s why great friends will improve your relationship yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them.

He'd only been taking lessons for a few weeks, and playing the piano was harder than it looked. This one, he thought as he pressed a white key. Wrong! He tried again. Oh, this one, he thought, pressing another key. Right! "That song is challenging," said Mrs Lee, his piano teacher, when he finished playing. "But it sounds much better than it did last week! I can tell you've been practicing really hard. I think you can take a trip to the treasure chest (百宝箱)." The treasure chest! Caleb's eyes turned to the big golden box in the corner of the room It was filled with candy and other fun prizes. This would be Caleb's first trip to the treasure chest. As Mrs Lee started to teach her next student, Caleb searched through the treasure chest. Should he take the dog stickers, or the orange gum? Then he saw it — a green folder (文件夹). It was his favorite color, and he could use it to carry his drawings. He reached for it. But then he saw the fruit snacks (水果零食). They were strawberry, his favorite flavor. That would be a great prize too. Folder or fruit snacks? He could not decide which choice was better. Caleb knew his mom would be there soon to pick him up, but he still couldn't decide what to pick. The folder would be perfect for his drawings, but he could almost taste the fruit snacks. His hand moved between the two prizes as he tried to make up his mind. Then Caleb had another thought. Maybe he could take both. Mrs Lee had so many prizes in the treasure chest that she would never notice. It wouldn't even be stealing (偷) only if he wouldn't take anything next time. That would be OK, wouldn't it? Caleb looked at Mrs Lee. She was busy helping her student. Quietly Caleb put the fruit snacks and the folder into his bag and went out of the room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1 But Caleb felt he did something wrong after a while. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then he saw a car coming to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: But Caleb felt he did something wrong after a while. When he left Mrs Lee's piano room, he didn't feel good. By the time he reached the front door, he felt worse. He knew he did not feel good because of the bad choice he had made. He looked at the prizes. His problem wasn't folder or fruit snacks anymore. It was choosing the right or choosing the wrong. Caleb knew what he had to do. Then he saw a car coming to him. That must be his mom's car. He opened the front door and waved to his mom. "Just a minute!" he called. He took out the green folder from his bag and went back to Mrs Lee's piano room. Apologizing for his stealing was hard, but he felt much better. Honesty turned out to be the best prize of all. He felt happy because he finally made a good choice by being honest. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，Caleb在钢琴课上因为表现有进步而得到了Mrs Lee的表扬，被允许去百宝箱中拿一个奖品。他在文件夹和水果零食之间犹豫不决，最后在Lee老师没有注意的时候将两个都拿走了。快走出门时，Caleb觉得自己做了错事。就在妈妈开车来接他时，他果断去找Mrs Lee道了歉。他很高兴，因为他选择了诚实。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但一段时间后凯勒觉得自己做错了什么。”可知，第一段可描写凯勒认为自己做了错事和他内心的想法和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后他看见一辆汽车向他开过来。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈来接凯勒时，凯勒决定向Mrs Lee道歉，以及道歉后内心的感受。 2.续写线索：糟糕的感受——思想斗争——妈妈来接——返回道歉——愉快的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看：look/stare at/fix one's eyes on ②返回：go back to/return to 情绪类 ①糟糕的：bad/worse/awful/terrible ②开心的：happy/pleased/cheerful 【点睛】[高分句型1]He knew he did not feel good because of the bad choice he had made.（省略连接词that的宾语从句和省略关系代词的定语从句 ） [高分句型2]He felt happy because he finally made a good choice by being honest.（由because引导的原因状语 从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级第二学期期中考试试卷 英语 （时长：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共三节，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。每段对话后有一道小题，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话你将听一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一题的有关内容。 1.

B There was a famous American painter named Winslow Homer. Since Art History class in college, I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30’s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting, Snap the Whip. Until I retired from teaching it always hung in my classroom. I thought it truly captured(捕捉)the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting,a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes! During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before switching to education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her. She was really surprised, but very pleased to have it. I was pleased that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory for me. 4. How did the author treat his painting bought at the exhibition? A. He sold it immediately. B. He put it on his table. C.

She would pass it to his students. 7. How did the author feel after his painting hung in the woman’s room? A. Grateful. B. Painful. C. Doubtful. D. Tired. C The process of aging is of particular concern for Americans. This concern is not only related to the likelihood of increasing your chances of coming down with diseases such as heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病), but more importantly, to the loss of your eyesight. As we age the chance that we will develop age-related vision conditions and disorders increases. Therefore, many people believe that it’s very hard, if not impossible, to improve your vision naturally as you get older due to concerns that the visual system begins to deteriorate at that stage of life. These people also believe they’re stuck with their glasses or contacts for life. So the question is: can aging prevent you from improving your vision naturally? The answer to that question is no. While aging is inevitable(无法避免的)，when it comes to improving, protecting and preserving your precious eyesight, there are things you can do to reduce or slow the negative effects of aging on the visual system. For instance, you can take preventive steps in terms of nutrition and eye exercises that can reduce the negative effects of aging on the eyes. These simple-and-easy-to-perform techniques make the visual system stronger therefore helping you to improve your vision. They also improve the focusing power of the eyes through vision training eye exercise techniques. Additionally, eye exercises can improve blood flow and circulation to the visual system therefore improving your eyesight. The question is: can these eye exercises help improve vision even in older people? Well, the answer to this question is yes. According to a scientific research study performed by the National Institute on Aging, elderly adults can quickly improve their vision with a branch of eye exercises called Perceptual Training. Perceptual Training relates to the ability to improve various visual skills by exposing a person repeatedly to activities involving all kinds of stimuli(刺激物). This improves the way the brain processes visual information by strengthening the connection between the brain and eyes. 8. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Aging can cause various vision diseases. B. The elders tend to do little to protect their eyes. C. Aging population is a serious problem in the US. D. Heart disease is the main cause of old people’s death. 9. What is the misunderstanding about eyesight according to the text? A. The elders’ eyesight can actually return to normal. B. Wearing glasses is a good way to improve eyesight. C. The elders’ eyesight is difficult to improve naturally. D. Preventive measures can reduce the risk of developing eyesight problems. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Become worse. B. Become stronger. C. Become simpler. D. Become more sensitive. 11. What does the study tell us in the last paragraph? A. How old people should do eye exercises. B. How the brain processes visual information. C. The vision problem is given great attention. D. Eye exercises can improve vision in elderly adults. D You probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus, but what about your cell phone? Cell phones are basically mini-computers, so, believe it or not, they too can get viruses. “Viruses and malware（恶意软件）should not be a major concern to the average consumer who uses their device to make phone calls, take pictures, and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces,” Tim Katsch Vice President of iDropped said. “If a user is downloading a lot of apps, changing and exploring settings within the device, and visiting a large number of websites from unknown sources, virus and malware protection should be kept on their mind.” If your phone gets a virus it can mess up your data, put random charges on your bill, and get private information such as your bank account number, credit card information, passwords, and your location. The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app. Viruses can also get on your phone when you click on strange links or open up an email that contains a virus. Connecting to an unsecured wireless network in a public place is also a way for hackers（黑客）to get private information from your device. If you're still convinced that your phone might get a virus, there are anti-virus apps that you can download that will constantly scan your phone to make sure it hasn't developed a virus, Apps like these will also check things before you download them to ensure that they are safe. Another tip is to always look over your cell phone bill every month to make sure there aren't charges from apps that you never downloaded. Technology is getting smarter, but so are hackers, and it's important to always be cautious with anything you do on your phone. Many people store a lot of personal information on their phones, and while that might make life a little more convenient, it can also do a lot of damage if hacked. 12. What can we learn from Tim Katsch's words? A. The wireless network in the public places is safe to use. B. Viruses and malware will most probably attack average phones. C. Downloading a lot of apps will protect your phone from being hacked. D. The average consumer needn't worry much about a virus or malware. 13. What's the most common way that your phone gets a virus? A. Downloading an infected app. B. Clicking on close friends' links. C. Connecting to your mobile data. D. Changing your private information. 14. What does the last paragraph convey? A. Harm set, harm get. B. Every coin has two sides. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Technology makes life smarter. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Anti-Virus Apps Make Your Cell Phone Safe? B. Viruses and Malware Damage Your Cell Phone? C. Worried About Your Cell Phone Catching a Virus? D. Ready to Fight Against the Hackers to Your Cell Phone? 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。 Signs of Healthy Friendships Once in a while it’s helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be.

He'd only been taking lessons for a few weeks, and playing the piano was harder than it looked. This one, he thought as he pressed a white key. Wrong! He tried again. Oh, this one, he thought, pressing another key. Right! "That song is challenging," said Mrs Lee, his piano teacher, when he finished playing. "But it sounds much better than it did last week! I can tell you've been practicing really hard. I think you can take a trip to the treasure chest (百宝箱)." The treasure chest! Caleb's eyes turned to the big golden box in the corner of the room. It was filled with candy and other fun prizes. This would be Caleb's first trip to the treasure chest. As Mrs Lee started to teach her next student, Caleb searched through the treasure chest. Should he take the dog stickers, or the orange gum? Then he saw it — a green folder (文件夹). It was his favorite color, and he could use it to carry his drawings. He reached for it. But then he saw the fruit snacks (水果零食). They were strawberry, his favorite flavor. That would be a great prize too. Folder or fruit snacks? He could not decide which choice was better. Caleb knew his mom would be there soon to pick him up, but he still couldn't decide what to pick. The folder would be perfect for his drawings, but he could almost taste the fruit snacks. His hand moved between the two prizes as he tried to make up his mind. Then Caleb had another thought. Maybe he could take both. Mrs Lee had so many prizes in the treasure chest that she would never notice. It wouldn't even be stealing (偷) only if he wouldn't take anything next time. That would be OK, wouldn't it? Caleb looked at Mrs Lee. She was busy helping her student. Quietly Caleb put the fruit snacks and the folder into his bag and went out of the room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1 But Caleb felt he did something wrong after a while __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then he saw a car coming to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
