B One weekend in May 2015, over 48 centimeters of rain fell in Houston, Texas, USA. Soon the city was covered with water. The rising water rushed into the cars on the roads. There were 16 deaths that weekend. Changing Weather The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains have caused floods in Brazil, Pakistan, and Thailand. Droughts have struck Russia and Australia. Heat waves have killed thousands in Europe. There are more different kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. In 2011 alone, the bad weather caused the world to lose 150 billion dollars. Warmer and Wetter As more wild weather events happen, a worried world is beginning to ask questions like: What is going on with the weather? And why? Many also want to know: Is this natural, or are we to blame? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. ____4____ This global warming makes heat waves more likely to happen. The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air. This causes much more rain. Some scientists also believe global warming makes some storms stronger. This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and take it,” says Scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 4. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To give examples of wild weather events. B. To guess how the weather will change. C. To explain why the weather is changing. D. To describe the weather events in 2011. 5. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. And wild weather happens more and more. B. And nature also influences human activity. C But humans have already paid enough attention to the wild weather. D. But most scientists agree human activity has made the Earth warmer. 6. Which of the following would Oppenheimer probably agree with? A. It is too late to stop global warming. B. Humans have nothing to do with global warming. C. The weather will get better if we can stop global warming. D. To find ways to keep our things safe is the most important. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. In May 2015, there was a deadly flood in Houston, Texas, USA. B. There are more kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. C. Many scientists believe global warming makes some storms stronger. D. Global warming causes wild weather events and that makes people worried. C There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I’m afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe it, you may do a small experiment. First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man’s mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind. The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs. According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors. 8. From the experiment, we know that________. A. the two boxes have the same weight B. colors can change the weight of an object C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper D. colors have different weights in people’s mind 9. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer________ A. the smell of colors is changeable B. people can sense the light from colors C. people can smell the colors through the nose D. all the colors have the same smell for the blind 10. We can infer from the last paragraph that________ A red color is bad for our health B. people may get nervous in a red room C. blue color can raise our body temperature D. colors can influence our mood and health 11. The passage is probably________. A. a short novel B. a news report C. a science report D. an advertisement D Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life. For my job, there are three important things that I will consider: The first one — that I must work in an area I like — is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won’t have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do. The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family. The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work. I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life. 12. According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people ________ A. solve fewer problems. B. choose a good life. C. be good family members. D. provide hard things. 13. The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because ________. A. he has to bring out his best. B. it can make him more creative. C. he will have to work another day. D. it is possible for him to live better. 14. The underlined word “remunerated” in the passage means “________”. A. trained. B. praised. C. accepted. D. paid. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. My Job Choice. B. My Favorite Job. C. My Comfortable Life. D. My Sense of Satisfaction. 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。 Kids’ Health: Four Steps for Fighting Stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time. ___16___ Some ways, like screaming or hitting someone, don’t solve much.

She poured change out on the floor and counted it. The total had to be exactly perfect. Carefully placing the coins back in the box, she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store which was six blocks away. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Tess stamped her feet to make a noise. No response. She cleared her throat. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her box and hit the glass counter hard with it. And she did it! “What do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen for ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question. “Well, I want to talk to you about my little brother,” Tess answered. “He’s really, really sick. .. and I want to buy a miracle (奇迹). His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell miracles here. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said and softened a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If this isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs,” Tess said. The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with tears welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs neurosurgery (神经外科手术). But Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered in a quiet voice. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “Well, I may have the miracle you need and can pay for,” smiled the man. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Not long after, Andrew was home and his health began to improve day by day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 环际大联考 “逐梦计划”2024~2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （试卷总分：150分 考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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.

After checking Andrew, the man, a famous surgeon specializing in neurosurgery, said, “I would like to perform miracles for your brother, Tess. “Hearing this, Tess was overjoyed. On the day of the operation, Tess waited anxiously outside the operating room, feeling a mix of hope and fear. The operation seemed to stretch on forever, but finally, the man emerged. “The operation was a success,” he announced. With her eyes filled with tears of joy, Tess hugged the man tightly and thanked him profusely for his kindness and support. Not long after, Andrew was home and his health began to improve day by day. The miracle Tess had purchased worked wonders. Tess couldn’t contain her excitement as she found her brother regained his strength. She felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. Her box of coins, once containing spare change, became a symbol of hope and miracles. The experience taught this family the importance of love and faith. I was also a reminder that miracles can be found in the most unexpected places and that sometimes, all it takes is an act of kindness to make much difference to the lives of other people. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
