It's exciting,but it's wrong:In our solar system,the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time.Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter,crashes are ineluctable.And when two space rocks go"crash"in the main belt,big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments(H)out into space. In many cases,these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences.After thousands of years,some fragments might be clear across the Sun,but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar.Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid's orbital elements.The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as"families", which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family.Care must be taken, though.Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra ()the time-consuming process of breaking an object's incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. 高二英语试题第4页（共12页） It's more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree:Some asteroids are potentially risky,meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future.If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place,we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 24.What is the author's view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A.It ignores the special visual effects. B.It goes against the established facts. C.It overestimates the super heroes'role. D.It fuels people's interest in the asteroid. 25.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"ineluctable"in paragraph 2? A.Unlikely.B.Uncommon. C.Unavoidable. D.Unimportant. 26.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The formation of asteroid families.B.The definition of orbital elements C.The moving pattern of asteroid fragments.D.The naming rule of asteroid groups. 27.What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A.It is a high-risk practice. B.It is built on assumptions. C.Its range needs to be expanded. D.Its value can't be overstated. C Vivian learned to read and write English at just two years old before her family moved to PEI,Canada,where she attended a public school. Vivian says her love for learning came from her grandmother,a high school biology teacher. "She taught me at a very young age.We'd go to the park and she would make up a game and I wouldn't even know that I was learning,"she tells the local newspaper Charlottetown Guardian. Vivian hoped for grade-skipping due to her excellence in all subjects.Her parents have been supportive of her drive to seek knowledge.However,the school officials were concerned that she wouldn't keep up socially with her older classmates if she were to skip more than one grade.Then, she wrote to the newspaper. "Imagine you are playing an exciting video game.You defeat the boss and are ready to move on to the next stage.However,you discover that the game requires you to wait until every other player has finished.Imagine the boredom you would experience and the loss of desire to play afterwards,"she wrote in the letter."In our current educational system,this is how it works. Kids should be allowed to fly when they're ready. Vivian moved with her family from PEI to Halifax,and at a private school there,after several tests,teachers placed her in Grade 8 from fourth grade.After a brief high school career in British Columbia,she returned to PEI to attend university,where she hoped to gain the skills to become a veterinarian ()Vivian was just 12 when she began her university studies-and is 高二英语试题第5页（共12页） on track to finish a biology degree before she can get behind the wheel of a car. So far,university has been no sweat for Vivian.She finished her first semester with grades above 91 percent.Now,at 13,she has just wrapped her first year at the University of Prince Edward Island. 28.How did Vivian's grandmother educate her at a young age? A.She led her to study unconsciously. B.She set a good example for her. C.She was supportive of her choices. D.She forced her to leam from childhood. 29.Why did Vivian mention playing a video game in her letter? A.To illustrate an idea. B.To clarify a concept. C.To propose a solution. D.To make an assumption. 30.What was Vivian's purpose in moving from PEI to Halifax? A.To get her biology degree. B.To study as a veterinarian. C.To skip grades successfully. D.To stick to her hobby freely. 31.What lesson can we learn from Vivian's story? A.Learning at an early age can be harder. B.School systems should be more flexible C.Self-acceptance depends on self-pride. D.School education equals home studying. D The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing.As I write this,some of the greatest hits are being sent to my phone.I could also hire a taxi,or have food delivered to my house within moments.The fact that,as a culture,we celebrate such short cuts is understandable. Yet most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side. We often resist (doing the things we need to do in order to make progress.Behind every plan lies this horrible sense of Inertia ()Why is this resistance-and our desire for ease-such an essential part of our nature?The idea of"Evolutionary Mismatch can explain.It is the idea that we evolved (for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and that while our society has changed completely,our brains and bodies haven't. For hunter-gatherers,rest was essential to balance their periods of intense activity,such as hunting in the rain or escaping from danger.It's the reason we still ask:"Do I really have to be doing this?Shouldn't I save my energy?During snowstorms,when there was little chance to hunt for animals,the hunters who chose to stay in the caves were more likely to live and pass on their 高二英语试题第6页（共12页） genes and we've inherited (that way of living. Since then,we've invented technology and changed our environments to serve our nature to save energy.The questions are:is it a trap ()What do we lose by following our nature to prioritize(优先考虑)comfort and convenience? Continually choosing the convenient path weakens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties.And,from an evolutionary point of view,some measure of discomfort is just as important to our survival as rest and relaxation.Our ancestors (didn't survive simply by being lazy,but through a combination of play ing it safe and taking necessary risks:for example, pushing through the pain and effort of leaving a familiar home,in order to find a place closer to sources of food and better protected from the threats. It is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character.In the technological world, we must sometimes make an effort to act in opposition to our nature.As a culture,we must remember that while convenience feels good in the moment,our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance too. 32.What can we learn about "inertia"in paragraph 2? A.It is a sign of laziness that should be overcome. B.It is a natural tendency to resist necessary effort. C.It is caused by the convenience of modern life. D.It disappears when practical plans are made. 33."Evolutionary Mismatch"in paragraph 2 means the imbalance between A.personal goals and social expectations B.human nature and the modern environment C.modern conveniences and ancient challenges D.the resistance to progress and the hunter-gatherer lifestyle 34.According to the text,prioritizing convenience in modern life may A.slow down technological advances B.do damage to our physical health C.cause over-dependence on technology D.harm our ability to overcome challenges 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Convenience Trap:The Dark Side of Modern Life B.Refusing Comfort:The Only Path to Personal Growth C.Evolutionary Mismatch:Why Our Brains Haven't Caught Up D.The Selfish Gene:How Evolution Shapes Our Desire for Ease 高二英语试题第7页（共12页） 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。 Should You Add Your Child to Your Credit Card? Adding your kid to your credit card can be a shortcut to helping them establish their own credit history,which is hugely important for their financial future.36 So,should you do it?37 From there,you will want to weigh the pros and cons and consider the specifics of your situation to decide what the right call is. ●38 You can add your child to your credit card account by making them an authorized user.This arrangement can help establish their credit history.Besides,if your child is old enough to begin to understand credit cards and budgeting,then this could be a financial literacy lesson for them What are the risks of adding your child to your credit card?

What should you consider before making your child an authorized user? _40 Some have a minimum age requirement for authorized users and others charge a fee for adding one.It is equally important to determine whether your child is really ready for this financial responsibility-and how you will keep tabs on them along the way. A.They could end up hurting your credit. B.You can just trust your feelings and skip the research. C.You can start by reviewing your card issuer's policies D.What are the benefits of getting yourself credit cards? E.How can adding your kid as an authorized user help them? F.The first step in making this decision is getting clear on authorized-user basics.

Good 56 it feels,the burst of ecstasy ()you get from clawing your irritated skin only prolongs a vicious itch-scratch cycle,putting true relief 57 (far)out of reach. But why?Though itch has troubled our species for thousands of years,scientists have just begun to comprehend the physiological mechanisms58it.Over the past couple of decades, research has shown 59 scratching taps into our brains'reward and immune systems, producing a strange mix of sensations that makes it all but impossible to resist. "You scratch to feel better,"says Brian Kim,a neuroimmunologist at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine,"but in doing so,you actually activate immune pathways that are counterproductive." In 1660,a definition of itch arose that's still in use today:an unpleasant sensation that provokes the desire to scratch.It results from60 from insect bites and poisonous plants to allergic reactions and skin conditions like eczema () Until recently,itch was considered a form of mild pain 61 (arise)from the weak activation of pain receptors.This "intensity theory"speculated that itch stood at one end of the pain spectrum,and 62(transition)all the way to full-blown suffering as a stimulus grew stronger. But in 2014,Zhou-Feng Chen,an itch researcher then at Washington University,discovered that serotonin (the mood-regulating"happiness hormone)plays a big role in perpetuating( the itch-scratch cycle.The research team found that when mice scratch an itch,their brains release a surge of serotonin,resulting in a moment of pure bliss. These results were consistent with a PLOS One study from the previous year,which showed that scratching activates the brain regions 63(involve)in the reward circuit,a neural network that floods the body with euphoria-inducing chemicals in response to pleasurable activities and substances.It's the same system 64 underlies addiction,which isn't surprising if you've ever lost an hour scratching at mosquito bites. But Kim notes there's another side to this coin:the longing not to feel pleasure 65 to ease discomfort."That's what's so complex about it,"he says."There are different levels at which you need to scratch." 高二英语试题第10页（共12页） 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分) 66.假定你是李华，你校英文报对高三学生高考后的旅行计划进行了问卷调查，结果如 图所示。请你根据以下柱状图的内容，给校英语报写一篇短文，内容包括： 1.调查结果； 2.简述原因： 3.你的选择。 要求： 1.写作词数应为80个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 60 51% 50+ 40 30 30% 20 19% 10 Natural Places Historic Spots Foreign Cities Travel Destinations Students'Holiday Travel Choices 67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短 文。 It was the first day of our new grade.Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays.When the door slid open,all of us stopped talking and turned to look.In came our teacher Ms.Green,followed by a plain-looking boy "This is Ben,"Ms.Green announced."He is a transfer student,and he's going to be in our class starting from today.Make sure all of you welcome him warmly." The class clapped.But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer,for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt. "Oh,I forgot to mention one thing,"Ms.Green spoke up."Ben actually has hearing problems.Normally he would have hearing aids on,but his old ones have just been broken.His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones.However,Ben insisted on attending his first day of school.But don't worry-he speaks beautifully and can talk to all of you.So if you want to communicate with him,just write down your words on a piece of paper, and he'll be happy to talk with you." This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar:Some students looked at each 高二英语试题第11页（共12页） other with expressions of surprise.Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms.Green calmed everyone down."I'd like someone to personally help him out throughout the day.Do I have any volunteers? "How can a disabled person be intelligent?I thought to myself.I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would.But nobody did or said anything.Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms.Green's. "How about you,Justin?"she asked me."Is it okay for you to take care of Ben just for today?" It is difficult to refuse a request by someone,especially if that person is a teacher.I sighed and nodded slightly.Ms.Green gestured for Ben to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上作答： Para 1:Immediately,the class became excited. Para 2:Then Ben rose and walked onto the platform. 高二英语试题第12页（共12页） 四中高二6月份期末检测 英 语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名，准考证号等填写在答题卡上。 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，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。每段对话读两遍。 1．What will the man get from the woman?

B We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin (旋转) so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra (光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 24．What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A．It ignores the special visual effects. B．It goes against the established facts. C．It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D．It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 25．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A．Unlikely. B．Uncommon. C．Unavoidable. D．Unimportant. 26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The formation of asteroid families. B．The definition of orbital elements. C．The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D．The naming rule of asteroid groups. 27．What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A．It is a high-risk practice. B．It is built on assumptions. C．Its range needs to be expanded. D．Its value can’t be overstated. C Vivian learned to read and write English at just two years old before her family moved to PEI, Canada, where she attended a public school. Vivian says her love for learning came from her grandmother, a high school biology teacher. “She taught me at a very young age. We’d go to the park and she would make up a game and I wouldn’t even know that I was learning,” she tells the local newspaper Charlottetown Guardian. Vivian hoped for grade-skipping due to her excellence in all subjects. Her parents have been supportive of her drive to seek knowledge. However, the school officials were concerned that she wouldn’t keep up socially with her older classmates if she were to skip more than one grade. Then, she wrote to the newspaper. “Imagine you are playing an exciting video game. You defeat the boss and are ready to move on to the next stage. However, you discover that the game requires you to wait until every other player has finished. Imagine the boredom you would experience and the loss of desire to play afterwards,” she wrote in the letter. “In our current educational system, this is how it works. Kids should be allowed to fly when they’re ready.” Vivian moved with her family from PEI to Halifax, and at a private school there, after several tests, teachers placed her in Grade 8 from fourth grade. After a brief high school career in British Columbia, she returned to PEI to attend university, where she hoped to gain the skills to become a veterinarian (兽医). Vivian was just 12 when she began her university studies — and is on track to finish a biology degree before she can get behind the wheel of a car. So far, university has been no sweat for Vivian. She finished her first semester with grades above 91 percent. Now, at 13, she has just wrapped her first year at the University of Prince Edward Island. 28．How did Vivian’s grandmother educate her at a young age? A．She led her to study unconsciously. B．She set a good example for her. C．She was supportive of her choices. D．She forced her to learn from childhood. 29．Why did Vivian mention playing a video game in her letter? A．To illustrate an idea. B．To clarify a concept. C．To propose a solution. D．To make an assumption. 30．What was Vivian’s purpose in moving from PEI to Halifax? A．To get her biology degree. B．To study as a veterinarian. C．To skip grades successfully. D．To stick to her hobby freely. 31．What lesson can we learn from Vivian’s story? A．Learning at an early age can be harder. B．School systems should be more flexible. C．Self-acceptance depends on self-pride. D．School education equals home studying. D The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing. As I write this, some of the greatest hits are being sent to my phone. I could also hire a taxi, or have food delivered to my house within moments. The fact that, as a culture, we celebrate such short cuts is understandable. Yet most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side. We often resist (抵抗) doing the things we need to do in order to make progress. Behind every plan lies this horrible sense of Inertia (惰性). Why is this resistance — and our desire for ease — such an essential part of our nature? The idea of “Evolutionary Mismatch” can explain. It is the idea that we evolved (进化) for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and that while our society has changed completely, our brains and bodies haven’t. For hunter-gatherers, rest was essential to balance their periods of intense activity, such as hunting in the rain or escaping from danger. It’s the reason we still ask: “Do I really have to be doing this? Shouldn’t I save my energy?” During snowstorms, when there was little chance to hunt for animals, the hunters who chose to stay in the caves were more likely to live and pass on their genes and we’ve inherited (继承) that way of living. Since then, we’ve invented technology and changed our environments to serve our nature to save energy. The questions are: is it a trap (陷阱)? What do we lose by following our nature to prioritize (优先考虑) comfort and convenience? Continually choosing the convenient path weakens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties. And, from an evolutionary point of view, some measure of discomfort is just as important to our survival as rest and relaxation. Our ancestors (祖先) didn’t survive simply by being lazy, but through a combination of playing it safe and taking necessary risks: for example, pushing through the pain and effort of leaving a familiar home, in order to find a place closer to sources of food and better protected from the threats. It is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character. In the technological world, we must sometimes make an effort to act in opposition to our nature. As a culture, we must remember that while convenience feels good in the moment, our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance too. 32．What can we learn about “inertia” in paragraph 2? A．It is a sign of laziness that should be overcome. B．It is a natural tendency to resist necessary effort. C．It is caused by the convenience of modern life. D．It disappears when practical plans are made. 33．“Evolutionary Mismatch” in paragraph 2 means the imbalance between ______. A．personal goals and social expectations B．human nature and the modern environment C．modern conveniences and ancient challenges D．the resistance to progress and the hunter-gatherer lifestyle 34．According to the text, prioritizing convenience in modern life may ______. A．slow down technological advances B．do damage to our physical health C．cause over-dependence on technology D．harm our ability to overcome challenges 35．What can be the best title for the text? A．Convenience Trap: The Dark Side of Modern Life B．Refusing Comfort: The Only Path to Personal Growth C．Evolutionary Mismatch: Why Our Brains Haven’t Caught Up D．The Selfish Gene: How Evolution Shapes Our Desire for Ease 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。 Should You Add Your Child to Your Credit Card? Adding your kid to your credit card can be a shortcut to helping them establish their own credit history, which is hugely important for their financial future. 36 So, should you do it? 37 From there, you will want to weigh the pros and cons and consider the specifics of your situation to decide what the right call is. ● 38 You can add your child to your credit card account by making them an authorized user. This arrangement can help establish their credit history. Besides, if your child is old enough to begin to understand credit cards and budgeting, then this could be a financial literacy lesson for them ● What are the risks of adding your child to your credit card? One notable downside of adding your kid to your credit card: 39 If they run up charges, you are responsible for a potentially larger bill. On the other hand, it is also possible that you could end up hurting their credit. Being an authorized user can only help build credit as long as you [the primary user] pay your bill on time every month. ● What should you consider before making your child an authorized user? 40 Some have a minimum age requirement for authorized users and others charge a fee for adding one. It is equally important to determine whether your child is really ready for this financial responsibility — and how you will keep tabs on them along the way. A．They could end up hurting your credit. B．You can just trust your feelings and skip the research. C．You can start by reviewing your card issuer’s policies. D．What are the benefits of getting yourself credit cards? E．How can adding your kid as an authorized user help them? F．The first step in making this decision is getting clear on authorized-user basics. G．But it’s natural to have mixed feelings about handing over a credit card in your name. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节,满分 30 分） 第一节 (共 15 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分) One day after snowing, Paul’s mother advised him to play outside.

Good 56 it feels, the burst of ecstasy (狂喜) you get from clawing your irritated skin only prolongs a vicious itch-scratch cycle, putting true relief 57 (far) out of reach. But why? Though itch has troubled our species for thousands of years, scientists have just begun to comprehend the physiological mechanisms 58 it. Over the past couple of decades, research has shown 59 scratching taps into our brains’ reward and immune systems, producing a strange mix of sensations that makes it all but impossible to resist. “You scratch to feel better,” says Brian Kim, a neuroimmunologist at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, “but in doing so, you actually activate immune pathways that are counterproductive.” In 1660, a definition of itch arose that’s still in use today: an unpleasant sensation that provokes the desire to scratch. It results from 60 from insect bites and poisonous plants to allergic reactions and skin conditions like eczema (湿疹). Until recently, itch was considered a form of mild pain 61 (arise) from the weak activation of pain receptors. This “intensity theory” speculated that itch stood at one end of the pain spectrum, and 62 (transition) all the way to full-blown suffering as a stimulus grew stronger. But in 2014, Zhou-Feng Chen, an itch researcher then at Washington University, discovered that serotonin (the mood-regulating “happiness hormone”) plays a big role in perpetuating (使永久) the itch-scratch cycle. The research team found that when mice scratch an itch, their brains release a surge of serotonin, resulting in a moment of pure bliss. These results were consistent with a PLOS One study from the previous year, which showed that scratching activates the brain regions 63 (involve) in the reward circuit, a neural network that floods the body with euphoria-inducing chemicals in response to pleasurable activities and substances. It’s the same system 64 underlies addiction, which isn’t surprising if you’ve ever lost an hour scratching at mosquito bites. But Kim notes there’s another side to this coin: the longing not to feel pleasure 65 to ease discomfort. “That’s what’s so complex about it,” he says. “There are different levels at which you need to scratch.” 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分 40 分） 66．假定你是李华，你校英文报对高三学生高考后的旅行计划进行了问卷调查，结果如图所示。请你根据以下柱状图的内容，给校英语报写一篇短文，内容包括： 1．调查结果； 2．简述原因； 3．你的选择。 要求： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Students’ Holiday Travel Choices __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。 It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Green, followed by a plain-looking boy. “This is Ben,” Ms. Green announced. “He is a transfer student, and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.” The class clapped. But I didn’t want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt. “Oh, I forgot to mention one thing,” Ms. Green spoke up. “Ben actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Ben insisted on attending his first day of school. But don’t worry — he speaks beautifully and can talk to all of you. So if you want to communicate with him, just write down your words on a piece of paper, and he’ll be happy to talk with you.” This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar: Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?” “How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Green’s. “How about you, Justin?” she asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Ben just for today?” It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Green gestured for Ben to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡上作答： Para 1: Immediately, the class became excited. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Then Ben rose and walked onto the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试题 第 1 页（共 1 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 四中高二6月份期末检测 英语参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A A B C A A C B B A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C C B A A A A C A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D B A B C A D A A C 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B B B D A G F E A C 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B B A C D B A C C D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 D B C A D 56．as/though 57．farther 58．behind 59．that 60．everything 61．arising 62．would transition 63．involved 64．that 65．but 66．    Students’ Holiday Travel Choices Recently, our school’s English newspaper conducted a survey among Senior 3 students on their post-gaokao travel plans. As the chart shows, about half prefer natural places, believing fresh air and relaxation help relieve long-term study pressure. 30% choose historic spots to experience traditional Chinese culture, while 19% favor foreign cities to broaden their horizons. As for me, I will visit a historic city like Xi’an. It’s a great chance to appreciate our culture and feel the wisdom of our ancestors. 67．     Immediately, the class became excited. Everyone was eager to share their holiday adventures, but I was nervous about how I would communicate with Ben. I wrote down my holiday story on a piece of paper and passed it to him. To my surprise, he read it quickly and wrote back, “Your holiday sounds amazing! I went to the beach too, but I spent most of the time reading books.” His handwriting was neat and his words were thoughtful. I realized that communication wasn’t as difficult as I had thought. Near the end of the class, Ms. Green asked Ben to share his holiday with us.     Then Ben rose and walked onto the platform. He took a deep breath and began to share his holiday experience. “I went to the beach and read a lot of books,” he wrote on the board. “I also learned how to surf, which was challenging but fun.” The class was amazed by his bravery and determination. After his presentation, everyone clapped and cheered for him. I felt proud of Ben and glad that I had the chance to help him. I learned that a person’s abilities are not defined by their disabilities, and that everyone has something unique to offer. 答案第2页，共3页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。This is White.
