My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they
contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders.She was the first to show me the
rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our"rich and delicate language."She was a no-nonsense
instructor..Unlike common teachers,.she diagramed(用图表展示)sentences so we could know
the grammar rules.She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her.learning.
Under her influence,I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and
properly written.Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my
thankfulness for what she did for me.Two years after being in her class,I began the study of
Latin and French,and the foundation (she provided in English grammar served me well.
Sadly,I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller,the finest
teacher I have ever experienced at any level.Mr.Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly
deep understanding and new analysis ()Reading"Phedre",Racine's classic play,he
asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it,and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to
structure.Years later I made the same point-giving Mr.Miller credit-in a college French
class,and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play.Mr.Miller taught us to
enjoy literature with particular points of view.Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell
高二年级第一次学情调研英语试卷第6页共12页
him what he meant to me.
Mr.Miller is certainly long dead.If she is alive,Miss Hammerman would likely be in her
90s.In preparing this article,I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common.People often forget to express love and thankfulness to
their teachers.I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr.Miller how much they did for
me.I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were
doing.Now I appreciate how special they were.
41.What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman's class?
A.Grammar.
B.Writing.
C.Speaking.
D.Reading.
42.What is special about Mr.Miller's French class?
A.He asked students to count lines
B.He stressed the importance of play.
C.He analyzed literature in a new way.
D.He showed great devotion to students
43.What does the underlined phrase "my act"in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Preparing the article.
B.Looking for the teachers.
C.Failing to thank teachers.
D.Copying teachers'points.
44.What best describes the two teachers according to the text?
A.Creative.
B.Frank.
C.Humorous.
D.Strict.
45.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A.To show love for French literature
B.To explore the mearing of education.
C.To explain why teachers are important.
D.To share memories of the two teachers.

In spring,chickens start laying again,bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's
end.So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple,like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads.
高二年级第一次学情调研英语试卷第7页共12页
Others promote the egg into a fancy art,like the heavily jewel-covered"eggs"that were
favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine.For centuries,Ukrainians have
been drawing complicated patterns on eggs.Contemporary artists have followed this tradition
to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age:Life is precious,and delicate.Eggs are,
too.
"There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,"says New Yorker
cartoonist Roz Chast.Several years ago,she became interested in eggs and learned the
traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters."I've broken eggs at every
stage of the process-from the very beginning to the very,very end."
But there's an appeal in that weakness."There's part of this sickening horror of knowing
you're walking on the edge with this,that I kind of like,knowing that it could all fall apart at
any second."Chast's designs,such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat,reflect that
delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.The complex patterns were
believed to offer protection against evil.
"There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made,evil will not take over in
the world,"says Joan Brander,a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60
years,having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
Although the tradition dates back to 300 B.C.,the old symbols on the eggs still reflect
their good wishes.A decorated egg with a bird on it,given to a young married couple,is a wish
for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
46.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?
A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.
B.It is their major source of protein in winter.
C.It can easily be made into a work of art.
D.It can bring wealth and honor to them.
47.What do we learn about the decorated"eggs"in Russia?
高二年级第一次学情调研英语试卷第8页共12可
A.They are shaped like jewel cases.
B.They are cherished by the rich.
C.They are heavily painted in red.
D.They are favored as a form of art.
48.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?
A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life
B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.
C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.
D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.
49.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?
A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.
C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.
D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
50.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?
A.The Russians prefer baking red eggs into breads.
B.It has a history of over two thousand years.
C.It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.
D.It is especially favored as a church decoration.

Trees should only be pruned (when there is a good and clear reason for doing so
and,fortunately,the number of such reasons is small.Pruning involves the cutting away of
overgrown and unwanted branches,and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the
thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to
grow in its own way.
First,pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size.The object
may be to get a tree of the right height,and at the same time to help the growth of small side
branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape.Secondly,pruning may be
done to make the tree healthier.You may cut diseased or dead wood,or branches that are
rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds.The health of a tree may be encouraged by
高二年级第一次学情调研英语试卷第9页共12页
removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy
entry for disease,but it is a wound that will heal.Often there is a race between the healing and
the disease as to whether the tree will live or-die,so that there is a period when the tree is at
risk.It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that'risk of death as far as possible.It is
important to make the area,which has been pruned,smooth and clean,for healing will be
slowed down by roughness You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then
paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this
purpose.Pruning is usually done in winter,for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly
without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will
bleed.If this does happen,it is,of course,impossible to paint them.properly.
51.Why should pruning be done?
A.To make the tree grow taller.
B.To improve the shape of the tree.
C.To get rid of the small branches.
D.To make the small branches thicker.
52.Trees will become unhealthy if the gardener
A gives a tree a special shape and a definite height
B.removes small side branches and makes a tree look less thick
C.allows too many branches to grow in the middle
D.has a tree surrounded by many other trees
53.Why is a special material painted on the tree?
A.To prevent disease entering a wound.
B.To cover a rough surface.
C.To make a wound smooth.
D.To help a wound to dry.
54.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The author tends to favor pruning frequently.
B.It's easy to find a reason to prune trees.
C.Pruning trees properly is not easy.
D.Pruned trees will always grow taller.
55.What is the main idea of this passage?

C.Explaining how trees develop disease.

四、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
They say to find out what you really want,go back to when you were a child.
When I.was a kid,I really wanted to be a painter,but I was never great at it.I was
discouraged,because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful.In the third grade,
we were given a project to create a portrait.I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class.
After we were done,we presented our portraits.We stood in front of the class and explained our
technique.I remember looking at other portraits thinking,"We were given the same skills,why
do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?"
But I still really enjoyed painting because it's a forgiving art.If I don't like what I've put on
paper,I can paint over it..I can mix colors and make new ones.Also,I can release some creative
juices,use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have
imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures,I just decided to change what
beauty looked like.I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school,they taught us about Picasso,Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci who
were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them.But that's not what I saw
around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat,who inspired me to paint abstract pictures.I paint when I'm
moved,and I am often moved by what's natural:emotions,nature,and other forms of art.I am
also very moved by pain.When there is pain in the world or in my heart,it can be unbearable.I
had a conversation with an activist in St.Louis named Spook,and I explained to her this feeling
and she told me,"Pain is energy.You have to learn how to chanrel that energy into something
productive."So sometimes I channel that pain into art,into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn't turn out aesthetically (pleasing by society's standards,
it's still beautiful that I was able to create something.My paintings may not be a Basquiat,but
高二年级第一次学情调研英语试卷第11.页共12页
they're mine,so I love them anyway.
56.What was the author's dream as a kid?(no more than 5 words)
57.What did the author find after the portrait presentation?(no more than 15words)
58.What factors motivated the author to keep his passion for arts?(no more than 15 words)
