2019-2020年高中英语 Unit 2 Sailing the oceans测试题（含答案）第一部分 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）AI had little confidence in my ability to write a whole book, though I did intuit (凭直觉感知) that my work as a firefighter was a worthy subject. And so I wrote Report From Engine Co. 82 in six months, and it went on to sell two million copies and to be translated into 12 languages. In the years that followed, I wrote three more best-sellers, and last year published a memoir (回忆录), A Song for Mary: An Irish-American Memory.Being a writer had been far from my expectations; being a best-selling author was almost unbelievable. How had it happened? I often found myself thinking about it, and feeling great surprise at it.For me, the clearest explanation is that I had found the subject I was searching for, one I felt so strongly about that the writing was a natural consequence of the passion I felt. I was to feel this same kind of passion when I began writing about firefighters and, later, when writing about my mother. These are subjects that, to me, represent the great values of human life honesty and fairness subjects that burn within me as I write.Over the years, all five of my children have e to me periodically with one dilemma or another. Should I study English or art? Should I go out for soccer or basketball? Should I take a job with this pany or that one?My answer is always the same, but yet they still ask, for reassurance (安心) is a good and helpful thing. Think about what youre feeling deep down in your stomach, I tell them, and measure the heat of the fire there, for that is the passion that will flow through your heart. Your education and your experience will guide you toward making a right decision, but your passion will enable you to make a difference in whatever you do.1.

Edward Munchs masterpiece, The Scream, was put up for auction (拍卖) at Sothebys in New York City this evening and was sold for a record-breaking price. Mr. Munch beat out Pablo Picasso for the most expensive artwork ever auctioned.Its owner, Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend, and neighbor of Mr. Munch, sold the painting to fund (资助) a new museum in honor of Mr. Munchs life and work. Sothebys expected the price to be $80 million, but $119 million beat out everyones wildest expectations. Mr. Picassos Nude, Green Leaves and Bust was sold in xx for just $106.5 million. The auction asking price started at $50 million for the work and lasted just 15 minutes before an unnamed telephone bidder (报价人) gave the final offer. The auction room at Sothebys exploded in applause. “I have lived with this work all of my life, and its power and energy have only increased with time,” owner Petter Olsen said of The Scream. “Now however, I feel the moment has e to offer the rest of the world a chance to own and appreciate this remarkable work.” The painting is one of four versions and the only one owned by private collectors; the other three paintings are housed in Norwegian museums.With the proceeds of the sale, Mr. Olsen promised to establish a new museum, art center and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, dedicated to Mr. Munchs work and life.

It is one of several apps that allow parents to track the whereabouts of their children.“You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them,” said Roberto Franceschetti of LogSat, the creator of the Family Tracker, which has more than 100,000 users and is available worldwide. Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages, and even activate an alarm on the phone from a distance. “We have a choice for the sender to make a very noisy sound. Its a loud sound and we repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks up,” he said.Parents dont need to own a smart phone to track their children. The service is also accessible via the Web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app, which runs on an iPhone or Android devices. The Family Tracker has an additional service that keeps a file of all data generated (产生) by the app for a two-week period.“We keep all the locations where people have been on our servers. You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks. You can find out where someone was at a certain time, or when that person was at a specific place,” Franceschetti explained.“When somebody gets abducted (绑架), usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out. We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past. That way the police would have a history or some clues as to who they may have been seeing.” But are these types of apps an invasion (侵犯) of privacy? “The advantages are huge pared to the disadvantages. Lets not forget that the person always has to give initial permission no one can be tracked unless they allow someone to do it,” said Franceschetti.9. Whats the purpose of mentioning the missing boy in Atlanta in the first paragraph?A. To warn parents of their children safety.B. To persuade parents to use the app.C. To bring in the topic of the text. D. To express dissatisfaction with the safety of children.10. The app is mainly used to .A. municate with family membersB. find out where the family members areC. prevent family members from being abductedD. record the actions of family members11. To track the children with the app, .A. parents have to own a smart phoneB. the childrens phones must be accessible to the WebC. the childrens phones must be running the appD. the parents must be accessible to the Web12. If a child were abducted, Family Tracker could provide the information on .A. who abducted the childB. why the child was abductedC. how the abduction took placeD. where the abduction took place DHandy Recovery is a piece of easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from hard disks and memory cards.

But scientists now know there are very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even if youve passed some of your “prime”, you still have other prime years to experience in the future. Certain important primes seem to peak later in life.When are you smartest? From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores. 16 Youre sharpest in your 20s; around 30, memory begins to decline, particularly your ability to perform mathematical putations. But your I.Q. for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.When are you happiest? 17 Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to e; over 30, we believe that theyre behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we “bee more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself”. 18 When are you most creative? 19 Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas(奏鸣曲) by age eight, and Mendelssohn posed his best known work A Midsummer Nights Dream at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39. 20 For the “well-conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.A. Peak creativity times generally depend on age and gender. B. Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions.C. But youre wiser and more experienced with increasing age.D. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, then happiness, we feel, will follow.E. Though the peak in most fields es early, creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives.F. You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49.G. As you grow older, do you really lose intelligence or is something else happening that drives down IQ scores?第二部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)My son Advait is 4 years old.

On arriving there, we threw ourselves into work in no time. First, we dug some holes, which were big enough to hold the roots of the trees. Then we put trees in the holes and watered them. When we got home, tired as we were, we felt it was rewarding and worthwhile.It is well known that trees play an important role on the earth. They can absorb carbon dioxide, and produce oxygen. In addition, trees can hold the soil and prevent it from being washed away or blown away. Without trees, we would suffer from horrible sand storms and more floods.However, for many reasons, in our country, there are many bare mountains for
