Its easy to make, easy to serve, much more varied than the hamburger, can be eaten with the hands and its delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants. Its been one of Americas favourite foods for over 50 years. It is, of course, the pizza.Its kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”. It changed over the years, but one things for certainits been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread as plates came from the Greeks. They called them “plakuntos” and ate them with various simple toppings such as oil, garlic, onions and herbs. The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it “picea”. By about 1000 AD in the city of Naples, “picea” had bee “pizza” and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the world. In 1889, King Umbertoand Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. They invited pizza maker, Raffele Esposito, to make it for them. He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named “Pizza Margherita” in her honour.Pizza went to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World War and raved about(夸赞) “that great Italian dish”. Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.41. When did pizza bee really popular in the United States?A. After 1945. B. In 1889. C. In 1905. D. By 1000AD.42.

Because one topping was brought to Italy from these countries. D. Because people there are the greatest consumers of pizza.45. Whats the best title of the passage?A. McDonalds and Pizza B. Global PizzaC. Pizza in the United States D. How to Make PizzaCDecisions, decisions! Our lives are full of them, from the small ones to the life-changing. The right to choose is central to everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help?Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision-making, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making.However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger for example. A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.All emotions affect our thinking and motivation，so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.46. What does the underlined word “central” mean? A. in the middle B. easy to reach C. important D. having power 47. Damasias study suggests that _.A. emotions are the enemy of decision-making.B. our brain has nothing to do with decision-making.C. people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds.D. our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.48. According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?A. To think about happy times.B. To make many decisions at a time.C. To stop feeling regretful about the past. D. To learn about the process of decision-making.49. Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?A. They often forget their past choices. B. They make decisions without much thinking.C. They tend to save time when shopping. D. They are too angry to bargain.50. What do we learn from the text?A. Emotions are a part of decision-making.B. Sad people always make worse choices.C. No emotion seems to help us make good choices.D. Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation. 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请把答案填写在答题卡上将对应题号上。 A“Just do it!”This slogan(口号)speaks out to teensIt tells them to do something，but only if they think itsworth itAnd if so，why not do it wearing Nike?BAlways CocaCola”Cokes slogans change every few yearsbut this one has enjoyed a lasting popularity because it shows the brands spiritIt seems to say “Coke is the only drink there is；there are no other forms of drink”C“Share momentsshare life”This slogan from Kodak connects photos and beautyIt asks people to remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of themusing Kodak film of course!DOn hearing the slogan “Make yourself heard”，you will know there is Ericsson product for you to call anyoneEThere are some public service advertisements (PSAs) that educate people about public service projectssuch as Project HopeIts slogan is “Project HopeSchooling every child”FOne magazine ad says Make me your window on the world!” The advertisers say that the weekly magazine can bring the world to your home“Have you ever wondered what the Chinese eat for breakfast?

The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.However, with the development of society, we often hear plaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a fortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some peoples delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they dont do that.The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling the treasure mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later bee infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.写作内容1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点。2. 然后以约120个词就“诚实”的主题发表看法，并包括以下要点：（1）你对不诚实现象的看法；（2）诚实的重要性是什么；（3）作为中学生，该如何做一个诚实的人。【写作要求】你可使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不能抄袭阅读材料中的句子。题目自定。【平分标准】 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。广东惠阳高级中学xx第一学期高二英语第二次段考试题参考答案一：单项选择(每小题2分,满分20分) 110.

Measures should be taken by schools to educate students about fire protection so as to prevent fires in schools. It is necessary to forbid students to use electrical equipment,light candles or burn waste paper in the room. In case of fire, dont panic, dial 119 and then escape from the fire in an orderly manner. You should use wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth,bend down and get out as quickly as possible. 第二节、读写任务（25分）The passage mainly tells us that nowadays many people are dishonest for their own benefit. Because not only they neglect our traditional values, but also they want to escape being punished.Dishonesty does great harm to our society. It can destroy our good relationship with others, bringing lots of unstable factors to the society. Sometimes, it may even affect peoples health.Why should we be honest? Firstly, being honest is one of Chinese traditional virtues which we should carry forward. Secondly, friendship is based on honesty. Seeing that the honest person is reliable, most of people are willing to make friends with them. Thirdly, honesty is very important for us to build a harmonious society and realize our spiritual civilization.As students, we should act honestly every day and never cheat others, including cheat in exams. Besides, we should help those who are dishonest correct their mistakes. Only in this way can we win respect from others.
