It wasn’t until 1925 that they were officially named the Olympic Winter Games. Two days before the Closing Ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (CIOC) was approved as the official organizing committee. St. Moritz, Swiss 1928 & 1948 Unseasonable warm weather created disorder with the events at the Swiss Alpine resort, while Norway continued to lead. Sonja Henie, just 15, combined grace with athletic ability to win the first of three Olympic gold medals in women’s figure skating. Japan sent its first delegation(代表团)—six skiers and one official. The Swiss resort(度假胜地)hosted for the second time, the 5th Winter Games, favored as a neutral venue following World War! Germany and Japan were not allowed to participate, while single-person sled(雪橇)racing was held for the first time since the previous St. Moritz Games. Grenoble, France 1968 The “snowy Games” attracted only about 70, 000 spectators on the ground because 500 million viewers chose to watch them on television. Women were forced to take gender(性别)tests for the first time in the Olympics. Sapporo, Japan 1972 At the first Winter Olympics held in Asia, an argument over amateur status came to the boil when the IOC banned Austrian ski star Karl Schranz from the Games because he had been paid for appearing in a ski maker’s advertisement. American figure skater Janet Lynn settled for women’s bronze but won the hearts of the local audience while hotel manager Francisco Fernandez Ochoa staged a surprise victory in the men’s slalom(回转赛)for Spain’s first gold medallist in the 11th Winter Olympics. 21.

Due to the influence of war. B. For unseasonable warm weather. C. Because of the popularity of television. D. Because women were not allowed to compete. 23. When was the first Winter Olympics held in Asia? A. In 1924. B. In 1928. C. In 1968. D. In 1972. B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, famous Chinese novels as well as non-fiction and the seeds of my fascination were sown. Therefore, when I arrived I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the fantastic cities and everyday life — I was burning to explore. Yet despite my enthusiasm, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t ignorance or laziness, but rather fright at the thought of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. In my mind, the Chinese language was the privilege of the highly intelligent. However, after a year in China I began to feel uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge I determined to begin my language journey. In the two years since starting to learn I have made measurable progress. I found it less difficult than thought. When speaking to native Chinese speakers in Chinese they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. I find studying the language relaxing and rewarding. In spite of my progress, it has still been the challenge that has taken a lot of hard work and commitment. The thing I find most discouraging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed, I can’t always understand what’s been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this. Furthermore, there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency. The key to progress is to be patient and persistent. My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it’s not only reachable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse and interesting country. Now my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. 24. Which can best describe the author’s original impression about learning Chinese? A. Boring. B. Pleasant. C. Demanding. D. Discouraging. 25. What has the author found while learning Chinese? A. Speaking Chinese is the most difficult. B. Many Chinese speak fluent English. C. It isn’t as tough as he once assumed. D. It is beyond his power to learn characters. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us? A. Importance of learning Chinese. B. Barriers of learning a new language. C. Significant progress the author has made. D. Certain difficulties the author met along the way. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Opinion in Learning B. My Journey of Learning Chinese C. Exploring the Joy of Learning Chinese D. The Value of Learning a New Language C Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities. Telemedicine has existed for a long time, but the rise of smartphone, tablets and webcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care, so patients can see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home. Diana Rae recently showed how Virtual Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and Skype — the video chat service. Doctor Green first has the patient describe her symptoms (症状). Then the doctor performs a physical exam by showing what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is an infection (感染) and gives her some medicine. He says about 3 out of 4 patients who have health problems can be treated like this — through Virtual Urgent Care, which means a video chat could substitute a visit to the doctor’s office. The Franciscan Health System charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call. That is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor’s office or an urgent care clinic. After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says she would be happy to pay the 35 dollars, when she was recently home with a bad cold. “I would have paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone else’s germs (细菌). ” Rae said. But a company official says state rules have not kept progress with development in telemedicine. The workers who provide Virtual Urgent Care must be licensed separately in each state where the company does business. For now, that means Franciscan doctors can treat patients in Washington state and California, for example, but not in neighboring Oregon or Idaho. 28. What purpose does paragraph1 serve in the passage? A. To persuade people to use telemedicine. B. To claim the benefits of health care systems. C. To make a general introduction of telemedicine. D. To give a brief description of health care systems. 29. What does the underlined word “substitute” in paragraph2 mean? A. Organize. B. Replace. C. Arrange. D. Postpone. 30. What does Diana Rae think of Virtual Urgent Care? A. Convenient and safe. B. Flexible and sufficient. C. Time-saving but dangerous. D. Advanced but expensive. 31. Why can’t Virtual Urgent Care develop fast now? A. People don’t have enough access to the health care system. B. The state rules have prevented it from developing fast. C. Some states are in badly need of Franciscan doctors. D. The workers are not permitted to get licenses. D Technology is likely to play a big part in reaching its climate goals in the future. Fusion is the process that fires the sun. But some experts say it could someday power our homes. Fusion happens when the nuclei (核) of two atoms are subjected to extreme heat. This leads to the formation of a new larger atom and large amounts of energy. One problem is the process itself requires a large amount of energy. Developers of the technology haven’t yet performed a fusion reaction that releases more energy than it requires. In addition, running an electric power plant of fusion would require the resulting heat to be contained in an economical way. Advanced nuclear plants would be smaller than today’s massive nuclear reactors. Experts say they could be used in rural areas and could take over for wind and solar power when the sun goes down or the wind dies. But advanced nuclear reactors are difficult and costly to build. Critics say they would also create more waste. And they would run on uranium (铀), which could make some advanced reactors more appealing to militants (激进分子) seeking materials to make weapons. Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide, getting CO directly from the air and puts the gas underground. The costs are currently high. But supporters say those costs will fall as the technology improves. They also say tax breaks for businesses could help the technology. But critics say offering large credits could actually lead to more plants continuing to burn fossil fuels. Hydrogen (氢) can be mixed with natural gas to make a cleaner-burning fuel. This could power a fuel cell vehicle. Such a vehicle would release environmentally friendly water vapors. So-called clean hydrogen can be produced using energy methods such as wind and solar. But those methods are more costly than “grey hydrogen”, which is made with fossil fuels. Geothermal power plants capture heat up to 370 degrees Celsius far below the earth’s surface. The heat creates steam that can turn turbines (涡轮机) to produce electricity. But the technology would need to greatly expand to become a major alternative to fossil fuels. 32. How does the author develop the passage？ A. By analyzing the cost. B. By introducing the values. C. By weighing the positive and negative. D. By following the order of great importance. 33. What can we learn from the text？ A. Carbon Capture is in the theoretical stage. B. Nuclear fusion has been widely used in families. C. Grey hydrogen belongs to environmental protection energy D The advanced nuclear plants have hidden dangers of making weapons. 34. What technology is suitable for countries having the heat in the interior(内部)of the earth？ A. Geothermal power. B. Carbon Capture. C. Advanced Nuclear. D. Fusion and Hydrogen. 35. What is the best title for the text？ A. New Issues Facing Climate Goals B. Develop New Energy According to Local Conditions C. What Are the Future Development Goals of Clean Energy？ D. Which Technologies Could Help the World Reach Its Climate Goals？ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 An immigrant is a person who has come to live permanently in a country that is not their own.

In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is critical for success in almost any field and it is especially important for high- stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful. We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with loved ones over trivial stuff because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people. Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (没有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives. Now, reflect on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you’ re feeling, especially when the pressure is on? 41. According to the passage, what is “emotional intelligence”? _____________________________________________________ 42. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions? _____________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. People with high Emotional intelligence can control their emotions well, and they think people shouldn’t be angry. _____________________________________________________ 44. When you get angry or feel hurt in daily life what will you do? And why? （In about 40 words） _____________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假设你是红星中学高二年级学生李华，你校英语报专刊Student Post在招聘校园新闻摄影师（photographer for school news），你对该职位很感兴趣，请你用英文给负责招聘的James先生写一封申请信，内容包括： 1．申请理由； 2．个人信息与优势； 3．希望得到该职位。 注意：1．词数100左右（开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数）； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Mr. James, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 高二英语 本试卷共10页，100分。考试时长90分钟。考生务必将答案写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 第一部分 知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.
