B "I'm going to fail !My best friend cried.She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist(完美主义者).What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example,failure can help build relationships.Once I was cooking dinner for a friend.I was tired,and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad.I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry.She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day,I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you.In fact,after she said those words to me,I grew closer to her. Failure can make success even more exciting.Every few years,there would be an important test in the PE class at our school.Students had to run a mile within eight minutes.I was never good at running,so I failed every time until the third year at school.Then I began working out regularly,and yet I still failed that year.A few days later,however,the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally!You can't imagire how excited I was after that.I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey,because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons.It's not an end-it can be a 高二年级英语试卷3 beginning. 24.What can we team about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A.She liked taking tests. B.She was afraid of failures. C.She often failed in study. D She knew how to be perfect. 25.What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A.Bad feelings.B.Worries.C.A closer friendship.D.More experience. 26.Why did the author feel excited art er the running test? A.Because she could work out regularly. B.Because she received honey as a reward. C.Because she got another chance to take the test D.Because she achieved success after many failures. 27.The author wrote this passage_ A.to show the negative effects of failures B.to point out her best friends fear of failures C.to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D.to introduce different types of failures O Before arriving in China,I had read various books relating to China,and my fascination were increasing. Therefore,when I arrived,I was very excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country.The food,the landmarks,the big cities and everyday life-I couldn't wait to explore. Yet despite my passion,learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind.This wasn't laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.Besides this,I was living in Shanghai,an international city,with many people speaking English as a second language-I decided English would be enough. However,after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese,there were plenty who did.Perhaps it was achievable after all?In addition,I felt 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 decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn't as insurmountable as I once thought.When I speak 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.The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed.I can't always understand what's been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it's not only achievable but can also be enjoyable.Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life,but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country.So,to all my non-Chinese friends I say this,take up 高二年级英语试卷14 the challenge and believe in ourselves. 28.Why didn't the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A.He showed no passion to r China. B.He was unwilling to make the effort C.He avoided.learning a second language. D.He avoraed doing something difficult. 29.What caused the author to learn Chinese? A.His regret about starting learning late. B.Support from many friends around him. C.Eagerness to take up the challenge D.A thirst to prove his gift for language. 30.What does the underlined word"insurmountable"in the 5th paragraph mean? A.Valueless.B.Difficult.C.Unnecessary.D.Unacceptable. 31.What can we learn from the author's experience? A.Love breaks down difficulties.B.Hard work pays off. C.Hard work is the key to success.D.Bravery opens up a new world. D To the human ears,a field of flowers is silent,except the noise of birds and insects.To certain inimal ears,however,a field of flowers is full of conversation.Now,scientists have discovered hat plants actually make noise as a way of communicating.In other words,they talk! It has long been known that plants communicate when they are stressed.You need only watch a iouseplant to realize that a plant lowers its head when it needs water,or turns yellow when it has )een watered too much.Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects rom taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up Now,a new study that was pubusned in Lell and conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv Jniversity,shows that not only do plants express themselves in the above ways when stressed, hey also make sounds,like talking. According to NoCamels,plants send out sounds at frequencies (between 40 to 80 ilohertz-out of the range()of human ears,but within the range of some ammals."Bats( )make sounds in these ranges all the time,and mice dogs and eats can partly hear within it,"Dr. ilach Hadany,one of the authors of the study,told NoCamels. What is surprising about Hadany's study is that the researchers have managed to understand and roup the sounds that plants make for the first time.Plants that are not stressed make about one oise per hour,but plants that are stressed,thirsty,or injured make many hundreds of sounds per our;and each of these sounds seems to show the certain type of stress the plant is under. This type of information could be key for agriculture().Knowing what sounds their plants re making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow nem to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. 32,Why do some plants send out a bad smell? A.To show they hate birds. B.Fo say they are in need of water. C.To protect themselves from danger.D.To tell people to stop watering them. 高二年级英语试卷5 33.Which of the following can hear plants most clearly?

C.The ways for farmers to learn plants'languages. D.The points needed to be improved for the study. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Plants Change Their Looks to Ask for Help B.Necessary Changes Are Made to Agriculture C Plants Can Make Sounds to Communicate D.A Field of Plants Is Silent to the Human Ears 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。 It seems likely that you fought like cat and dog when you were young.But siblings(兄弟姐妹) can actually improve your physical and mental health.36 Having brothers and sisters makes you kinder.37 This is probably because you have a same-generation relative to make you care about others. 38.Brothers and sisters,whether younger or older,help prevent you from feeling terrible,unloved,lonely,anxious and fearful.That can only be an advantage when you reach adulthood(成年时期).

Brandy's owner,an old woman,had died about a month before.Her family had emptied her house and put up a"For Sale"sign in the front yard,but they had left old Brandy behind.Nowhere to go,for weeks,she'd been wandering around the neighborhood. It wasn't that I disliked dogs or anything like that.I just didn't think about them very much.I had never kept a dog as a pet and had never thought to get one. Brandy ran away and I stayed outside with Adam.Then the phone was ringing.I went inside to get the call.When I came back,Adam was gone.I searched the yard,front and back,then the basketball court and public pool.No trace of him.I was so nervous that I ran back home and called the police,then my husband. We searched the neighborhood thoroughly.Suddenly I heard a dog barking in the distance. "It's coming from the woods,"one of my neighbors said.We followed the barking to a wooded cliff().There we found my son,and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff,fast asleep.Brandy was beside him,leaning against him to keep him away from the edge.When I picked Adam up,Brandy sank down on the ground,breathing quickly.She must have been holding Adam there for hours! 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house.
