2019-2020年高二下学期4月调研考试英语试题 含答案第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分钟）略第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中选出最佳选项 ，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant.Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words, “Good morning. I want to go home. ”It is the first time a voice box and windpipe(气管)have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted.Ms. Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in xx. Since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box.In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms. Jensens throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves.Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, who was part of the surgery team, said, “Weve learned that we can repair nerves to make even very plex organs function again. Itll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops. ”A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas(胰腺)transplant four years ago. Professor Peter Belafsky, part of the surgical team, said, “Brenda was an exceptional(例外的)candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated. ”Anyone whos met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physical challenges shes faced over her lifetime.21.The voice box transplant operation is of great significance because it proves that_.A.facial transplants are now easier to performB.nerve repairing is a breakthrough in tissue engineeringC.new medical technology is always possible to discoverD.the drugs taken after the operation help the patient live longer22.Ms.Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was_.A.experienced and braveB.seriously ill and motivatedC.determined and realisticD.strong-willed and prepared23.Which of the following is the right chronological order of the event?a. Ms. Jensen received a voice box transplant operation.b. Ms. Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs.c. Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body.d. Ms. Jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant operation.A.a c d bB.d b c aC.b d c aD.c a b d24.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.First Words from New Voice Box.B.Transplant Saves a Womans Life.C.Overing Obstacles to Speak Again.D.Courageous Woman Defeating Fears.BAround four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the“Parents View”talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, I became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with manyominousapprehensionsin mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not e. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasnt even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even the great speakers faced the same thing when they started. He suggested that I e again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling fortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering it successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too. ”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self-motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has bee a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.25.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker.B.Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.C.Principal Provides the Best Chances.D.Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches.26.The author had bad feelings before the speech because_.A.he disliked the idea of giving a lectureB.he had got a high fever before thatC.he regretted accepting the invitationD.he feared he couldnt perform it properly27.What does the underlined part“ominous apprehensions”in the first paragraph mean?A.Unlucky opportunities.B.Negative ideas.C.Curious views.D.Happy ments.28.What can we conclude from the passage?A.Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.B.Knowledge makes one humble;ignorance makes one proud.C.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.D.Necessity is the mother of invention.CScientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under key waters in Antarctica. They made the announcement after pleting three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelfthe worlds largest floating ice sheet.The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent. Money for the project came from Americas National Science Foundation.“We chose a study site where, in the first year, we went into the subglacial(冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates, and how the sediment(沉淀物)underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because its the water and the sediment underneath the ice that control how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean.”says Ross Powell, who led the investigation. The team included scientists, engineers, machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main U. S. scientific base at McMurdo Station to the researchers camp. The camp was near a subglacial lake, where an earlier study took place.Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea level.“What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.”Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill. The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740 meters. They collected water, sediment and other material from the grounding zone.Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to the 400-square-meter undersea area.Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the mand Center were a total surprise.“Its a very mobile environment. The bottom is changing constantly. And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl. And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive on. Some of the little crustacean-like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active. ”This is the farthest south where fish have ever been seen. How did the creatures get here?What do they feed on?And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.“We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back, we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past, relative to what it is doing now. And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment, we anticipate that there will be some differences that well see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores, once we open them up.”But Ross Powell says the work raises more questions than it answers.29.Scientists conducted the three-month research at the Ross Ice Shelf with the intention of_.A.predicting how climate change influences rising sea levelB.finding out whether there are life forms existing deep under Antarctic iceC.proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by waterD.discovering an explanation of the effect the melting ice has on sea level rise30.What made the researchers surprised when they saw the video images?A.Researchers saw fish in the farthest south for the first time.B.A video camera was able to work well under deep icy waters.C.Sediment cores present differences in the history of the ice sheet.D.The drill should dig down 740 meters to collect things.31.From sediment cores taken from the grounding zone, scientists will probably know_.A.what the ice will do in the near futureB.the ice in the grounding zone is melting at the momentC.some differences rarely exist in the history of the ice sheetD.something about the creatures under icy water in Antarctica32.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Scientists will conduct a follow-up study on the frozen continent.B.No creatures once appeared or lived in icy water in Antarctica.C.Americas National Science Foundation is in plete charge of the research.D.Researchers have found how the sediment underneath the ice sheet operates.DDriving to the airport in the early morning, I felt excited. Although I was heading abroad for my first time alone, I felt cheerful and enthusiastic. I was spending the summer in Paris.While looking for more interesting things to do besides sleeping and eating, I found programs for learning languages abroad, and jumped at the chance to study French in this city known for its art, fashion, food and culture. As I arrived at the airport where I would leave my family, I still felt only great happiness. I excitedly made my way through security, leaving my loved ones behind.My connecting flight was in Frankfurt, Germany, 14 hours from Denver. Sitting in a crowded plane watching bad movies couldnt dampen my excitement. When the woman next to me asked me where I was going, I happily answered and was pleased to note a tone of jealousy in her response.But when I arrived in Frankfurt, fear and anxiety began to set in. Being in an enormous, busy building in a country where I couldnt speak the language was frightening, but as I found my way, I gained confidence. When I boarded the second plane and discovered that the flight was less than an hour, I was filled with excitement as I thought of how I would manage in a country with a new language.When I stepped on the ground of Pairs for the first time, I was extremely happy and excited. I gathered my bags and joined the crowd of people waiting for friends and family. I quickly had my first experience trying to municate in a language that I had only practiced in school. As I left the airport, I looked for familiar monuments I had read about, but the landscape looked very ordinary. Then, with one sharp turn, the Eiffel Tower came into view, and I was finally in Pairs.33.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.It was the first time that the writer had traveled abroad.B.In the new term the writer was to study French in Paris.C.The crowded plane made the writer less excited.D.The writer flew to Paris via another country.34.What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer was travelling with a woman friend of her parents.B.Arriving in Paris, the writer saw some family friends waiting for her.C.The writer was not alone when travelling to the airport in Denver.D.The writer had great difficulty municating with people in French.35.What is the passage mainly about?A.The writers excitement and happiness on her journey to Paris.B.The writers exciting experiences of studying French in Paris.C.The writers expectation for French art, fashion, food and culture.D.The writers excitement resulting from her first ride on a plane.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you new to experiencing relationships?Well, let me give you some advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.36Do not hide things from them;do not lie.

At first, I was unable to control its directions. Sometimes I fall to the right or to the left. I was worrying and asked my father impatiently how I could ride straight, so he didnt answer me directly. Instead, he took me to side of the street. “Can you find any bike track what is really straight?”asked my father. I watched more carefully and shook my head. “No,”he said, “in fact, neither of the tracks is always straight. But just by correct the direction every now and then, I have already gone forward.”第二节 书面表达（满分25分）Life is just like a mirror; you smile at it, and it smiles at you, too. 请你以“Learn to Smile”为题, 写一篇100词左右的文章, 要点包括:1.学会对自己微笑;2.学会对别人微笑;3.微笑的重要性。注意:短文必须包括所有内容要点, 不要逐字翻译, 可适当发挥, 使短文连贯通顺。4月调研考英语参考答案（附解析）阅读21.B22.D23.B24.A 25.A26.D27.B28.C 29.D30.A31.D32.A 33.D34.C35.
