黑龙江省海林市朝鲜族中学2019-2020学年高二英语上学期期中试题一阅读理解A“Hey, Jenna, do you think well still be friends when were eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.“Of course, well still be friends when were eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldnt pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.“Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door.“ Thanks.”“Okay, well, I have to go,” she said softly.“Okay. See you later then.” and I closed the door.“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said,“ I am so glad were friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight wont stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when were eighty-two.”I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldnt believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldnt believe I had been so selfish in making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.1.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me, “You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain.”FG6新课程英语教育This has largely influenced my life. Without such mountaineering opportunities, we wouldnt have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy himself. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience. FG6新课程英语教育Once we climbed one of the highest mountains in our country. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the birds singing, and the beautiful dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment, I wanted to quit climbing. Actually, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you cant see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls, temples and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain. Only there at the top, can you see all of those things, just like in life.”FG6新课程英语教育At that time, I was too young to understand his words, but after that, I got new hope and confidence. Finally, I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal.FG6新课程英语教育4.

To many people, the idea of exercising when theyre tired just seems beyond them. They just dont have the energy. Well, I have some good news: A study showed that low levels of exercise can increase energy levels by 20% and decrease tiredness by 65%. This is fantastic. FG6新课程英语教育In the study, 36 people who were not regular exercisers and who reported being tired all the time were divided into three groups. One group did 20 minutes of moderate (适中的) exercise three times a week for six weeks, the second group did low-intensity (剧烈) exercise for the same amount of time and the third group did not exercise any more. Both exercise groups had a 20% increase in energy levels after six weeks. The extra good news was that the researchers found the low-intensity group reported a higher reduction in tiredness than the group working out at a moderate level. In fact, the low-intensity group reported a 65% drop in tiredness compared to a 49% drop in the moderate group while the no-exercise group just stayed the same.FG6新课程英语教育So getting out for just 20 minutes three times a week can really raise your energy level. Try walking, running, or really anything that just gets you moving. FG6新课程英语教育Keep in mind, however, that the study only looks at the tiredness and energy creation benefits of exercise. Other studies suggest that more intense (剧烈的) exercising could have long life and health benefits. But if you are not in the habit of exercising, focus on a low-intensity workout for the first 6 weeks. That should give you the energy you need. FG6新课程英语教育8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?FG6新课程英语教育A. Low-intensity exercise brings less energy.FG6新课程英语教育B. Low-intensity exercise is better than 20 minutes of moderate exercise.FG6新课程英语教育C. The exercisers in the second group were getting more tired.FG6新课程英语教育D. The no-exercise group didnt get tired at all.FG6新课程英语教育9. If you want to decrease tiredness, youd better _.FG6新课程英语教育A. take no exercise B. do irregular exerciseFG6新课程英语教育C. do low-intensity exercise three times a week for six weeksFG6新课程英语教育D. do 20-minute moderate exercise three times a week for six weeksFG6新课程英语教育10. To exercise is _.FG6新课程英语教育A. to walk, run or ride B. to moveFG6新课程英语教育C. to form the habit of exercising D. to relax oneselfFG6新课程英语教育11. According to the text, feeling tired shows that _.FG6新课程英语教育A. you are doing too much exercise B. you take too little exerciseFG6新课程英语教育C. you lack energy D. you work a little longerFG6新课程英语教育DFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture(文化)the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion(困惑)across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places(although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions(情感),but we should not attempt to“read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.12. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.13.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can.A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits14.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.15.What would be the best title for the text?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipsC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions七选五 In the game of life, if it often seems that youre on the losing end of things, youre not alone. _16_ When you feel like youre experiencing more downs than ups, sometimes it helps to get a little tough love once in a while.

He sits there with a sign asking for anything which would help. He always has the warm smile for anyone who bothers to stop and say hello. There are a lot homeless people in my city, young and old. I recognize how luck I am to live a good life. Therefore, today I finally stopped and meet Rick. When I came out of the coffee shop, I was treated him to a sandwich and a cup of coffee. It didnt change his situation and maybe it helped lift his spirits. It certainly lifted me.五、 书面表达FG6新课程英语教育假设你是李华，你的朋友John来信说，他的舍友总是挑的毛病，给他提意见，为此他很苦恼。请根据以下提示，给他回一封英文电子邮件。内容包括：1. 与同学和睦相处的重要性2. 正确对待他人意见3. 多与室友进行交流FG6新课程英语教育阅读理解 (30) FG6新课程英语教育1234567来89101112131415ACBBDCD来BCBCCBBC七选五 (10)1617181920DAECG、完形填空 (30)21222324252627282930CBADADCBBD31323334353637383940CBAAACBAAD五、新题型 (15)41._was_ 42._How_ 43._because_ 44._dead_ 45._anything_ 46._was_ 47._hugged_ 48._need_ 49._can_ 50._is_书面表达FG6新课程英语教育Every day in my way to the coffee shop across the street, I see a homeless boy calling Rick.

MineDear John， I know that your roommate points out faults in you all the time from your letter. As we know, getting on well with our roommates is very important. The good relationship between roommates makes us feel relaxed, which has a great effect on our study. As for dealing with the “ shortcomings “ your roommate has pointed out, if you do have the shortcomings, you should thank him, and then correct them. What he says may help you do better in the future. If his advice doesnt sound reasonable, you just ignore it instead of quarrelling with him, In addition, to maintain a good relationship with your roommate, youd better communicate with him frequently. I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Yours, Li Hua- 12 -
